Jacked on the Beanstalk: The Podcast

After a long winter for us Shorkey sisters, we are so happy that spring is finally here! The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming and the sun is shining. And it's time to not only spring clean our houses but our bodies too! So let us celebrate the rebirth of beauty in nature and celebrate ourselves too! Yes, on this episode, I (Sam) am sharing some of my favourite springtime tips and practices to help me regain my energy and exude radiance to feel both refreshed and renewed this season. Enjoy!

Nothing is worse for a bodybuilder or athlete than getting injured. Whether it's an acute injury or chronic pain, this can be soul-destroying for anyone who is addicted to training for their sport. But we can't let an injury get us down! And this podcast is really more about the positive mindset that should come with being injured (rather than physical measures you can take to treat or heal said injury.) We talk about the importance of being a researcher of yourself and how pain can be a great teacher for us. We also discuss why complete rest is NOT the surefire way to heal an injury. And how consistency is key even if it means big changes to your workout regime. So give this one a listen and stay safe out there, vegan fit crew!

One of our most popular episodes of all time was an interview with Vegan Chef / Nutritionist Amy Longard a few years back! So naturally, we thought it was time to bring her back for an even more in-depth conversation about all things meal prep. And we're letting Sarah ask all the questions on this one as she claims to be “completely clueless” and “overwhelmed” when it comes to cooking and meal planning for her family. So give it a listen for all of Sarah's hard-hitting questions such as what to eat for optimal nutrition, recipe ideas for busy moms, healthy snack suggestions and so much more!

It's been a long time since we've had our good friend (vegan chef / nutritionist) Amy Longard on the podcast! Definitely a good time to have her back though as many of our clients have already given up on their New Year's resolution to "get fit & healthy." And being busy, self-employed moms ourselves, we wanted to share some of our best health tips and mom hacks on how we prioritize our own health and fitness. AND promote a new & exciting, super interactive, virtual 4-week long group training and nutrition program we're launching together called "Fit & Healthy Over 40." So give this episode a listen and be sure to hit up my website for more info on the program.

"Your mouth is the gateway to your body and your oral health is a huge indicator to your overall health" says Trina Felber of Primal Life Organics! And we are stoked to dive into all things teeth and gum health with her on this episode of the podcast! Yes guys, most of us don't even realize (myself included) that we are de-mineralizing our teeth all the time even via brushing our teeth with NATURAL toothpaste! So be sure to give this one a listen and start loving your mouth as much as you love your body!
