EP. 2 RACHEL
“The number you should care about is how much you’re lifting in the gym, not the number on the scale.”
All about Rachel, who she is, what led her to the health and fitness industry, and how she runs her business ‘Physique Physicians’
How alcohol plays into your performance and progress in the gym
All about calories, macronutrients, energy balance, and why your metabolism isn’t broken
Self esteem, confidence, body image and Rachel’s thoughts on comparison in the women’s fitness space
Why the 1200 calorie myth and scale weight aren’t efficient parameters for body composition
The actual keys to a “toned” look
“Hip dips” and “thigh gaps” and more internet garbage
Rachel’s approach to helping clients with negative mindsets around daily fluctuations and scale weight
Our perspective on plateaus
“Why eat less, move more” is not the best fitness advice for all
Why training 5+ days a week, group fitness class challenges, and other common routes women go down with fitness are not the way to go
The art of self-prioritization
And much much much more!
