exercise and diet is one of those kinds of stresses that can be good, right? They can stress the system in a way that produces good adaptations. But they can also push us to the edge so and beyond that edge. So the challenge for fitness professionals and coaches is to understand that piece and then structure workouts, dietary protocols, nutrition plans, classes, whatever our thing is, we want to structure them in a way for the individual that makes that hard enough, challenging enough to trigger an adaptation without setting off one more internal alarm

Co-regulation is a full format communication skill that’s rooted in your own self regulation and awareness, defined by your personal and professional boundaries and directed by curiosity and discernment. These things are accessible to all of us with practice.

Welcome back to the Work IN. Today I’d like to begin a series of episodes on integrating trauma informed principles in the fitness industry.

Today we’re talking about fuel for energy beyond the physical body. How to personalize the prescription on our plate for the best energy and nourishment. Our body is how we interact with the world so it’s important to take care of it. It is our vehicle. When something goes wrong in one system it affects all the other systems. So how can we fuel and nourish it in a way that supports our energy beyond just physical? The question most fit pros get more than any other (myself included) how should I eat? What should I eat? What’s the best diet if I want to get x,y,z? So let’s start our work IN.

Albert Einstein said: “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

So if you believe in science you can believe in the subtle energetics of the body., right?
