Good Morning!!

 

I hope youā€™re finding some peace this weekend – I know most schools have started back and this time of year can be crazy. Gentle reminder to breathe deeply (at least before your meals) to remind your body that itā€™s safe.

 

Iā€™m sharing another podcast today – this one from Andrew Huberman – as a reminder, heā€™s a Neuro Scientist at Stanford. And yes, heā€™s caught some bad press around his personal life, recently. I have no idea whatā€™s true and what isnā€™t. What I do know is – heā€™s great at his profession and I still find him to be very educational. And for these purposes – thatā€™s what matters.

 

I digressā€¦

 

Did you see my ā€œSubject Lineā€ today? ā€¦if you missed it:

šŸŽ¶ This One’s For The Girls šŸŽ¶

 

Do you have the Martina McBride song stuck in your head now? šŸ˜‰ Sorry, couldnā€™t help myself. And if you have no idea what Iā€™m talking about – click that link above.

 

Todayā€™s share is more female-centric. That doesnā€™t mean the men here shouldnā€™t give it a listen, perhaps in the company of your female partner. I believe strongly that the better educated we are about our partners – what they go through in their bodies, etc – the more our relationships can thrive.

 

Huberman interviews Dr, Stacy Sims who has PROFOUND knowledge on the female body – our hormones, how we should be working out to best support our cycles, how we are not just ā€œsmallā€ men, etc, etc.

 

I first learned about her when I was racing triathlon – Iā€™ve been following her for many years. Sheā€™s been influential in the way I care for my own body and I use some of her coaching tactics in my own practice with clients.

 

She shares a lot of info in this podcast. I do wish she dug more into the nuance – youā€™ll understand that more once you listen – but I believe youā€™ll walk away feeling affirmed and validated in some of the choices you make for your self-care that push against what society tells us. She also offers some helpful takeaways.

 

Per usual with Huberman, itā€™s a long listen – 2:30 hours or so. But worth your time. Hence my sharing here.

 

Iā€™m always here for clarifications and questions!

Sending a big hug and another reminder to BREATHE!
