• Fitness Industry Myths - With Raquel, Sofia, and Anthony

  What Fitness Industry myths bug you the most, and why? Anthony, Raquel, and Sofia discuss and pick apart all the myths that bug them as athletes, humans, and coaches who've been in this space and coaching people for a long time. They discuss: - The myth of "if you're not fit, it's because you don't want it bad enough": the erasure of complex factors that contribute to individuals having more or less time (and ability) to train - The myth of "every goal is attainable": not all goals are realistic for all people, even with long timelines, and that's okay - The myth of "If you train like me, you can look like me": the unfortunate truth that an athlete's training and enhancement history matter just as much as their current training cycle - The myth of "If you didn't sweat, it doesn't count": how easy it is to compete yourself out of a good training stimulus and wind up overreaching and underperforming - The myth of "women need to train differently than men": how that biologically falls apart under scrutiny and many more rants inbetween.

• Training with Chronic Disease(s) - With Ariana and Mike

  Ariana Scalfo and Mike Thompson sit down to discuss their personal experiences training with, around, and sometimes despite, their chronic conditions. How do they handle being disabled sometimes, and only in specific ways? How do they (try) to avoid flares, and what do those flares look like? How do these conditions affect their mental health and identity, especially as coaches? When is it appropriate to "fight through," and when fighting through it is the worst idea? Is there any way to tell which option is best during a flare of symptoms?  In what unique ways does the hybrid methodology of programming assist athletes with increased recovery needs and/or higher sensitivities to certain stressors? Mike Thompson has Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Ariana Scalfo has Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, POTS, MCAS, endometriosis, ME/CFS, and PEM  **nothing discussed during this podcast is meant to replace recommendations from your medical provider. ***FND and hEDS +associated comorbidities have an incalculable variety of severities and expressions in each individual diagnosed with them, and this podcast is not meant to represent the lived experiences or symptom profiles of anyone other than Ariana and Mike. While this podcast can offer insight into what individuals living with chronic conditions experience day-to-day, Ariana and Mike's accounts should be treated as n=1 and nothing discussed within this podcast is meant to serve as a medical resource.

• Men's Mental Health and Training - With Mike & Justin

  Join Director of Coaching Ariana Scalfo as she chats with new CHP coaches Mike Thompson and Justin Jones about men's mental health and how it plays out in lifestyle, health, and ability/motivation to train. Mike and Justin are relatively new fathers, and they discuss with Ariana (a new mother) the loneliness and pressure that comes with fatherhood, and the dangers of depression, and lack of clearly defined paternal support during that time.  [tw: discussion about depression, anxiety, mentions of suicide, body dysmorphia] Dealing with interalized shame; are men's health issues framed more as "their own fault" (insufficient preparedness, "toxic masculinity") vs the fault of external factors as women's are typically framed? Is the messaging "fix yourself" instead of "get help" even when help is available? What major life changes were the catalyst for realizing you needed more help? Do you see the same trends with clients? Body image issues, steroids, and body image issues and dysmorphia in male athletes - steroid abuse and "bigorexia" The pressures of being a new dad - "I need to lock in," not being a burden, pressure to provide, pressure to be more present and contradicting demands. Lack of resources for fathers. Fitness, the pursuit of health, and self efficacy; rebuilding your sense of self efficacy and self control after major life changes The concept of "Spoons" in chronic illness and how it applies to autoregulation in training Lifting less than ever, training infrequently as ever, and setting PRs - scuse me what Redefining a win, and hitting 90% instead of 98% is still a really good training day, the power of showing up and giving it time. The dangers of over-identifying with "daily" performance metrics (weight moved, speed traveled, distance traveled) What are some lifestyle changes you'd recommend for someone going through an indentity-shift and struggling with their training in ways they never did before?  'Filing cabinet mentality' - the benefits and the downsides What's the biggest benefit or takeaway you've experienced by hiring a coach, bringing on a mentor, or reaching out to a friend?
