   Feeling Better Isn’t the Same as Being Recovered: When to Return to Exercise After Illness | Ep.118

   You’re over the worst of a virus, you’re starting to feel more human again, and part of you is already wondering when you can get back to exercising. That’s exactly where I’ve found myself this week.In this episode, I talk about: how I’m deciding whether my body still needs more rest why I use things like resting heart rate as information, rather than letting my watch make the decision what can happen when you add exercise back before you’re ready how much fitness and strength you’re really likely to lose from a short break what returning to running, strength training and everyday movement might actually look like why illness might be a time to pause the fat-loss focus and concentrate on recovery instead The plan is to notice how you're feeling rather than finding a set of rigid rules to apply and ultimately to get back to full health and start doing all the things we love. www.ruthmacfit.com Instagram: @ruthmacfit

   Menopause at Work: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Lauren Chiren | Ep.117

   In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren Chiren, founder of Women of a Certain Stage, to talk about perimenopause, menopause and the workplace. We chat about Lauren's own experience of menopause, why so many women struggle in silence, the connection between ADHD and hormonal changes, and what employers can do to offer better support. We also explore your rights at work, how to advocate for yourself and why menopause doesn't have to mean the beginning of the end. It can be the start of something new.

   Diet Culture, Anti-Diet & Finding the Middle | Ep. 116

   In this episode, I’m talking about the space between diet culture and the anti-diet world, and why I think there’s a useful middle ground. We cover: why I don’t want women to become really good at dieting why I still think calorie and macro awareness can be useful the difference between knowledge and obsessive tracking how health and fitness rules can create unnecessary friction why “optimal” isn’t always necessary how to borrow the useful bits from both sides and make them work with your life Find me on Instagram: @ruthmacfit
