Being Audacious, Strong, and True to Yourself - Interview with Chanel Collette

On today's episode of EMBody Radio, I had the pleasure of interviewing Sohee Lee. Sohee and I have followed each other on social media for a while now, and she is AWESOME. She has a degree in Human Biology from Stanford and is completing her Master's degree in Psychology as it relates to Eating Habits.

Everyone out there who has ever dieted will be able to both relate to and learn from this episode.

We all know how important sleep is, especially for athletes. It’s where we do the majority of our recovering from training, it’s what leaves us feeling fresh and ready to get after it the following day, and it’s extremely important for maintaining hormonal balance within the body. If you aren’t getting a good night’s sleep, you’re missing out on a huge portion of your fitness journey. I’ve been using a PerformaSleep mattress for over a year now, and my sleep has never been better. Every PerformaSleep mattress has this thing called CopperGel Technology, which offers a cooler nights sleep and  added support where needed.  It helps you’re your spine in proper alignment, which helps prevent any back pain.  It also doesn't use traditional memory foam. Instead, they use Enersorb. Enersorb cradles your body to alleviate pressure, but also has a little bounce to it. So instead of sinking into a bed, it’s like floating right on top of a comfy cloud. The top of each mattress is made with TenCel, a wicking fabric that helps you sleep cooler. On top of that, all Performa Sleep mattress are made right at home here in the US. I can honestly say I can’t imagine not sleeping on a Performa Sleep mattress now that I’ve had one for so long. If you want to start getting the best sleep of your life, head over to PerformaSleep.com and use the code “EMILY125” for $125 off your mattress.

EP 54 WHYdentity, Raising Your Frequency, and Leaving Toxic Relationships | with Drew Canole

Social media essentially runs our current world... And I don't really think it's going anywhere. To be honest, there are a TON of positives to social media! But, put it in the wrong hands, and it can go south reeeeeal quick. It gives anyone with a smartphone/computer/tablet the ability to speak freely, without filtration or regulation. That can be a breeding ground for misinformation, especially in the fitness industry.

I don't know about you, but there have been many a time when I found myself scrolling, reading, listening, or watching, and I just got FRUSTRATED. Consuming content is a job in and of itself... You have to know HOW to consume it intelligently without letting it take over your entire brain space. In today's episode, I'm giving you 5 of my favorite ways to be a better content consumer so you can have a better overall social media experience!

EP 56 How to Be A Smarter Content Consumer | FRIDAY 5

The body positivity/#BOPO movement is becoming increasingly popular... One question that health professionals, myself included, have asked, is "Does promoting body positivity mean promoting obesity or unhealthy behaviors?" There's also a myriad of fitness influencers/personalities beginning to use body positivity hashtags and claim the movement as their own... which can be problematic. Today's guest, Victoria Myers of Nourishing Minds Nutrition, is a Registered Dietitian who also speaks extremely eloquently on body positivity. She specializes in disordered eating, female hormones, IBS/SIBO, and body positivity. In today's show, we talk about:

-The Body Positivity movement and what it means/why it was created,

-Defining diet culture and how it impacts our lives,

-Internalized vs. externalized fat phobia, 

-Thin privilege,

-Body positivity and promoting health,

-Why diets aren't the key to health,

-Health at every size,

-Recovering from amenorrhea

-Coming off of hormonal birth control and getting normal hormone levels back,

-Cyclic living, 

-Traditional foods,

-So much more!

This episode is FULL of wisdom and I can't wait for you to hear it.

EP 58 Blood Flow Restriction, Functional Neurology, and Vestibular Training | with Kusha Karvandi

I've been through a lot of weird health complications the last couple of years and tried a lot of different therapies. If you had told me a year ago that it was my breast implants that were causing the problem, I'd have thought you were crazy.

-Some of the symptoms I had

-What I tried to fix them/heal

-What made me believe my health problems were related to my implants and not some other disease
