Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast.

I'm quite tired this morning when I'm recording this, but I'm also very excited for this.

So today I am at FET Expo.

Actually, more than the point yesterday I was at FIXpo, which is why I'm so tired.

And we did, we being Amelia and I, which we just come as a pair now,

we did an interview with Sophia at Fit Expo. And we actually only got halfway through the

questions, so we answered all the questions around business. But we didn't answer any of the

questions around nutrition. So I thought, you know what?

I'll just answer them here.

Now, obviously, you're only getting my side of them and not Amelia's, which is a shame.

But some of the questions were really good and did make me think.

So I thought, why not just do it for the podcast?

So this is me interviewing myself from the questions that I was meant to be asked yesterday.

And some of it's, I think, quite interesting.

So the first question is, what are the most important, sorry, what are the most common myths about nutrition and exercise in women, periods, menopause, etc?

And what's the actual reality in terms of science and also experience? And I think one of the biggest myths, especially with my clients or my

client base, not actually not my clients, but my population base is that you cannot lose fat around

menopause. And I guess extrapolating that out to kind of like

aging as a negative thing, inherently negative thing. And I'm probably going to butcher this, but I read

something recently and it was talking about how your body in terms of societal beauty ideals and realistically, probably in terms of health and the way it functions,

is in many ways a depreciating asset, whereas your mind isn't appreciating asset,

and that maybe we should be focusing more on that side of things and not just on the way that we look.
