My luteal phase is over and I’m ready to take on the WORLD 🌎

Talking about cortisol raises my cortisol but here we areeeee

Idk maybe try managing stress elsewhere before we say exercise is the problem? Could be awful sleep, poor nutrition, a job that runs you into the ground…but nahhh it’s probably the exercise 😭

Please do not cross me today

We overcorrected and kinda made quads the bad guy…they’re not!

Strong, resilient quads are IMPORTANT for running. Strong glutes and hamstrings are also important for running! But you best believe I’m working with runners on quad specifics 🤷🏼‍♀️ something I would’ve never said at the start of my career.

Change your treatments as you learn more, don’t make people afraid of their own strength, and kindly….let’s start shifting this phrase out of our vocabulary 😅 women are likely more quad dominant. That’s fine. Train them that way 🤷🏼‍♀️

Getting ready to start training for Indianapolis and increasing focus on tendon health…this one got me good 😅

I deadlift heavy, squat heavy, split squat heavy…but stuff like this matters too! And had my glute med screaming 🥴 setting the weight down on the floor every rep changes things a bit (for me in a good way, if not for you you should talk to a PT)

While I used to say the whole “quad dominant runner” thing, I think we swung the pendulum too far. Video on that is upcoming 👀

It’s getting closer 👀 and heck yeah I’ll be marketing it!

Some of these chapter names have shifted titles slightly, but generally this gives you an overview to see what Floor It is all about. While we’ve tried so hard to write it for the athlete themselves - working to simply and explain complex topics in a more simple way - we’ve also been very mindful to be sure coaches, providers, and trainers of all levels finish this book feeling better equipped to immediately implement pelvic health at all levels of sport performance.

You’ll also get case studies, screening tools, and the layout I currently recommend for teams and sport programs looking to put all of this into actual practice in a way that doesn’t limit all the other things you’re having to implement for athlete health.

And if you’d rather work through all of this together in person with a lab and friends + get CEUs while doing it (and before the book ships), I’ll be teaching all this info in Atlanta 8/8-8/9 - we have 10 spots remaining!

Thank you for being here and for hyping me up on the days I’m terrified to hype up myself. Let’s keep working 🫡

I debated posting this because so much of me just wanted to wrap up my spiral privately.

But I know I’m not the only person feeling this.

The work we are doing is vulnerable and evolving. Putting my thoughts into writing knowing the criticism that may come with it has been…heavy.

But day in, day out - I keep seeing patterns. I want to teach you about them.

This book will never replace individualized medical care, but I hope it will increase awareness. Start conversations sooner. To help athletes recognize themselves.

So here is me choosing to keep going anyway. And if anxious thoughts show up later, we’ll just keep yelling GUARDS 😂
