I want women to stop being losers. And so I'm on a mission to really undo the genuinely terrible advice that most
00:00:08
women have been given as it concerns their health and their fitness. So we're going to talk through some actionable
00:00:13
strategies on how to build a body that has curves, more of [music] an hourglass figure. But Stephen, if I can be very
00:00:19
honest with you, I am pissed off because we've been sold a lie that our worth is
00:00:25
the number on the scale. And I've seen tens of thousands of patients over my 20-year tenure and right now a lot of
00:00:32
online dialogue is I want to be toned. I want to have the Pilates body. Be as small as possible. So this is where I
00:00:38
get a little fired up because I also have personal experience struggling with my own weight and my own worth. I was
00:00:44
trying to become what I thought was the right thing. And I had massive problems afterwards. So I am going to be very
00:00:50
transparent and honest with you. The pursuit of skinny is a bad thing with devastating consequences. Like you're
00:00:56
going to end up with bone disease like osteoporosis. >> So there's lots of things on the desk
00:01:01
here in front of us that I'd love to go through. We've got these five fitness myths.
00:01:05
>> Yes, so one of them for example is a lot of women are scared to consume more carbohydrates because they think [music]
00:01:10
it's going to make them fat. But we need carbohydrates for our mood, our sleep, even performance at the gym. And then
00:01:16
there's also women are scared that if they're lifting heavy weights that they're going to start looking like a
00:01:22
bodybuilder. But that's almost impossible. 97 to 98% of women don't have the hormonal environment to bulk.
00:01:30
>> And then we've also got these archetypes here. >> So there's four archetypes [music] that
00:01:33
women identify themselves in their fitness journey. And the most common woman that I see is skinny fat Sophie.
00:01:39
And we'll talk about what this means. >> So let's talk about what the women listening should understand about
00:01:43
hormones. How do you think about fasting and your menstrual cycle? What are the specific issues that mothers face as it
00:01:49
relates to fitness? I mean there's lots of things that I'd love to talk about. >> 100% that makes me so excited.
