A Better Way with Kersten Kimura Kersten Kimura

Today’s episode is about handling big crowds and doing too much people-ing.

If you are a Highly Sensitive Person, a person with TMS, and / or you are quite extroverted, then there’s a good chance that you don’t love big events and lots of crowds, and you probably prefer to spend a lot of time by yourself.

I think it is great that we enjoy our own company! But on the other hand, when we start to avoid social interactions and going out because we’re afraid of how badly things might go and how stressed we may get, we can also start missing out on life.

In today’s episode I will share with you a personal story from last weekend… And teach a few tools that worked for me and will work for you too, if you want to be able to still enjoy events outside of your home but without getting too stressed out from it.

This episode is a replay from Eddy Lindenstein’s podcast “The Mind and Fitness Podcast” where I was his guest.

In this podcast we’re talking about TMS which means condition where chronic symptoms in the body are caused by heightened nervous system and stress in the brain. In my case, this was chronic back pain.

We also talk about exercise and how to bring together mindfulness and strength training. We’re talking about the empowering effect strength training has on us, and what makes it such a great personal development tool for everyone.

I loved this conversation with Eddy as this was my first time being on a podcast where I was asked about TMS as well as strength training. I hope you give it a listen!

In today’s episode I’m sharing with you some new additions that I’m going to bring to my work as well as to this podcast.

I haven’t talked about it a lot but I’ve experienced quite a bit of anxiety, depression and chronic pain over the years.

About a year ago I started a journey of deeper self-development work. I started working with a coach to understand how I could feel better.

Almost a year later, although I still have ups and downs, I am feeling a LOT better! I’m going to share with you some of the things that I have discovered about myself and what has changed as a result of a lot of inner work.

Because I am so passionate about this topic, I want to pay it forward and bring more of this work into this podcast and into my future content on social media too.

The strength training and nutrition coaching won’t go anywhere, but you will definitely see more emphasis than before on mental health.

It’s time for another success story!

My guest today is Jerrica Johnson.

Jerrica shares her story about the ups and downs with her health, and one part of this is also gaining and losing weight multiple times.

She tried everything to get her weight down: She eliminated all carbs from her diet, then all meat and eggs: she ate just one meal a day and did water fasts. She also did way too many HIT and cardio workouts, more than what her body was able to recover from.

At first, it “worked” and she lost a lot of weight. But after some time, she started noticing changes like irregular periods, hot flashes, achy joints and weight gain. Eventually, no matter what she tried, she could not lose weight anymore.

Her doctor’s advice was this: She should go on hormone replacement therapy. Jerrica figured that given her age (26), there had to be a better, more natural solution.

After lots of searching and Googling, she came across my YouTube channel and contacted me. That was about 7 months ago.

To her surprise, starting to eat more and starting weight lifting were the solutions to her problems. She is feeling a lot stronger now, her energy is back, she has lost weight and gained a lot of muscle, periods normal again, and she feels like a new person!

I hope you enjoy today’s episode.

There are 3 types of personalities when it comes to fitness working out:

1. The one who is obsessed with every workout, can’t miss one, and beats herself up when she doesn’t do everything perfectly.

2. The one who is very inconsistent with workouts, more workouts are missed than done, and she wonders why she is not getting results

3. The one who I call the Middle Ground person — she has a healthy, balanced approach to fitness, she is consistent with her workouts but also knows when to take a break to rest and recover and without any guilt.

Check out today’s episode to learn about each type and see who do you resonate with the most!

Us women are so used to the message that we have to lose weight, no matter what. We hear it all the time.

But here’s the thing: If you are a woman who is 40 years old or older, you need to stop dieting all the time and start putting much more emphasis on muscle building! Yes, it is true that hormonal shifts after 40 can make maintaining our body composition a bit more difficult, but that also means that there’s even more reason to become very intentional about HOW we treat our bodies. Intense diets and HIT classes are not the way to go about it.

It’s common to say that hormones are wrecking our health and that our metabolism just gets so slow and there’s nothing we can do about it. But it’s not true – we can strength train, and that’s really the most beneficial thing we can do.
