Episode Notes

In this weeks show,Maria and Roisin address several common questions from listeners, including tips for lowering BMI, managing pain from endometriosis during workouts, coping with pregnancy announcements and baby showers, and losing weight before a summer holiday.Regarding weight loss, they discuss the role of lifestyle factors such as sleep and hormones, particularly leptin resistance, which can affect satiety and energy usage. They also suggest getting a blood test to check for any underlying issues.

• To manage pain during workouts with endometriosis: track menstrual cycle and work around it, give yourself grace, and be realistic about not hitting every workout.
• Coping with pregnancy announcements and baby showers: take a break from social media, set boundaries by saying no, and use the energy bucket analogy to view things differently.
• For losing weight before a summer holiday: set separate pre-holiday, holiday, and post-holiday goals to maintain control and avoid stress. Incorporate workouts such as resistance bands, running, swimming, and fitness classes.
• Roisin, who is a convert to working out on holiday, recommends finding ways to enjoy workouts such as trying new activities and being flexible with time.
