Summary

In this bonus episode, Dani sits down with Dr. Shannon Ritchey, Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of Evlo, for one of the most helpful, myth-busting conversations we’ve ever had about fitness, strength training, pregnancy, and women’s health. Shannon breaks down why so many of us feel confused about exercise, what actually matters when you’re short on time, and why “gentle consistency” might be the secret to finally seeing results without burning out. She shares her own story of overtraining, chronic pain, and rebuilding her approach from the ground up and why so many women are unknowingly doing too much instead of training with intention. They go deep on postpartum fitness, strength training during pregnancy, weighted vests, Pilates vs. lifting, GLP-1 medications, body recomposition, protein, recovery, and what women really need to know if they want to build muscle and feel stronger at every stage of life.
