    I was really annoyed by the influencers claiming to have "back fat" or "bigger arms," while being slim with little fat, and triggering any disordered eating in women thinking they look big, or seeing slim women claiming that and being like "If she thinks that's big, I must be huge," and any of that garbage that screws with women's self-image.

      Body image and self image can be so distorted… I work in a bridal shop in Manhattan on the weekends and the things people say about their own bodies, when they are in a beautiful gown and are absolutely glowing and radiant, is just heartbreaking. Then there are the things other people say… 😳 mean moms and toxic “friends”, yikes. It’s made me reflect a lot on my own body image once I realized no one else sees what I consider “flaws”.

    The last woman discussing fiber is absolutely right. I am an RN and work in an endoscopy clinic. Fiber intake (about 30 grams per day for the an average adult), is an essential part of your diet. The only influencer I have heard addressing fiber intake is her daily meals is Keltie O’Connor. Eat your fiber everyone! 😊. And thank you for these videos Justina ❤

    • @Vincent_Beers
      @Vincent_Beers Před 6 měsíci +14

      Eat more high fiber, but also high moisture foods. Mushrooms, greens, lettuce, spinach, etc. It's way easier on your system than supplements if you increase your fiber from food if the food itself is high moisture.
      If you're increasing fiber and then drinking lots of water, you may actually be drinking too much at once and diluting your stomach acid, which then gives you stomach discomfort.
      Water is important but should spread across the day, too much at once just makes you nauseous.
      Fiber is one of those things that works best if it's in tangent with foods that are going to support it and keep it moving.

    Unfollowing almost every fitness influencer from social media has been a blessing for my mental health, physical health, and bank account. There's so few people I actually trust, credentials or not. Just like you said, almost every video or post nowadays is either an advertisement, disingenuous, or just downright dishonest. The "fitness" industry has put profits over people for a very long time, but now that everyone wants to be an influencer, it's become so overwhelming. I'm grateful to have come across your channel! This video definitely earned a follow.

    Sometimes I think they lie about their certifications. I always love your explanations and scientific basis for it. I was a personal trainer and fitness instructor for 28 years and I am sure I made some mistakes as well based on information we had at the time. The peddling of shit supplements and workouts that bombard the internet and prey on less informed people is disturbing. The false claims from people who are also obviously on PEDs is repulsive as well. Happy 2024! Same shit, new videos!

    When people use “cortisol” and “stress” interchangeably I become evil to my core. I’m so glad my hs taught me how to find and interpret scientific reporting. Hormones never have an isolated “purpose” anyway. We are a messy pile on evolution’s bedroom desk lol it’s always more complicated.

    I find it odd how often that medical things I’ve needed to do w/ a serious medical condition are being repackaged for the fitness industry. Probiotics is one which I’d take for my condition as I’d frequently be on antibiotics. Cortisol testing is another and they only tested it when I was incredibly unstable and my body was obv super stressed from my condition. It was also just to get a baseline to see where it was at. It’s like, yea it does make it harder to lose weight but at the point you need to be worried about cortisol levels, your weight is the last thing you’ll care about.

    Justina, I love you! A long time ago I fell into the Tracy Anderson trap. I do not look like a dancer (I am sturdy and just 164cm tall). I really believed that I could transform my body and look like Tracy or (later) other influencers on Instagram. When I got older and wiser I realized that I can just make the best out of what I have and to look like these girls is not a realistic goal for me.
    I hope that you can "save" women before they fall into the same trap I have. Keep on influencing the right way!

    Thank you for your video! My personal main issue with cucle synching is that people, who recommend it usually come with an idea of each phase of the cycle having a certain average length which is true for some but not for all (most) people. Menstrual cycles vary from one person to another and it very well can differ from the averages

  • @jenstang4529

    There seems to be a lot of impatience in these ads/ programs, like getting fit in the least amount of time. Getting healthy and staying in shape takes time and effort if you want it to be sustainable. For a lot of people that means changing their diet and physical activity. It can be daunting and it takes time to establish new healthy eating routines and physical activity. I have been working out and changing my diet for the past 7 years and there are still things I am working on. For long term health by that I mean living a healthy lifestyle until you die takes commitment and time. Starting with small manageable changes in diet and exercise and building on that creates the best chance of long term success. These stupid “abs in 2 weeks” and quick weight loss promises by influencers set people up for disappointment and feeling discouraged

    Kinda unrelated but NASM just made an option to do an open book cpt exam. Frustrated with this bc I feel like it takes the actual knowledge you have to apply and learn and makes it was easier now to just look in the book and find the answer. Would love to know your thoughts!!

      I did a whole video on cycle syncing using the current studies we have, and the conclusions were actually just “listen to your body.” There were huge variations across different people, so no general recommendations have been made.

  • @greenhouse326
    @greenhouse326 Před 5 měsíci

    I love your commentary, thank you. One thing I want to discuss is how you said people with periods are more hormonally complicated. I recently learned that that's not true, as men's hormones fluctuate more wildly and unpredictably throughout a day whereas women's are more affected by the menstrual cycle which is less unpredictable (of course menstruating people all experience our cycle differently, but it's a myth that men are somehow easier to study and draw conclusions from). I stared learning about this from the BBC 28ish Days Later podcast, specifically the Day 8 episode I think. They talk about the lack of research on women beyond elite athletes like you mentioned, too, and interview scientists trying to change that.

    • @JustinaErcole
      @JustinaErcole  Před 5 měsíci

      Ahh yes I kind of misspoke so thank you for pointing this out! Men are also hormonally complicated, but I meant more that scientists weren't willing to learn another complex hormonal cycle for studies but that's slowly changing. Thank you for the podcast recommendation!

I have high cholesterol and I am working with a nutritionist and want to lose weight as well as control my cholesterol. I think I’m self sabotaging though bc I don’t eat enough. That’s a whole other thing though.😂 Also, I have unfollowed so many people because I can’t see the workout because the camera is on their butt. That’s not what I’m here for. Take that to only fans and let me see your form so I can do it right. I noticed you didn’t say the exercises don’t work for most of them. It was just the marketing. That helps. As always…love you!

    Hi! Your somatic nervous system controls your sympathetic and parasympathetic "fight or flight" responses. The vagus nerve is a part of this system that affects a lot of organs. The lymphatic system is involved in your immune system function. I recommend talking to a doctor to learn more. Osteopathic Medicine doctors specialize in treatments targeting over or under activation of these systems using specialized treatments. They also do a full office visit to talk about all the lifestyle habits or experiences that can cause problems. You are correct that humans are complex and it can be very difficult to pick out or prove an exact cause of someone's physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual struggles. You've made some excellent points in this video. Thanks for sharing.
