The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

Send us Fan Mail

Peter waffles for 30 minutes about ignoring the gossip/lifestyle magazines when it comes to health advice. An example being this article about protein deficiency in "Stylist" magazine.
It's nothing against the magazines as such, they just don't really know how to source geniune experts as the above article shows.

He also elaborates on the problem of titles in the Health and Fitness industry;  "Holistic nutritionist, Nutritional Expert, Personal Trainer, Post-Natal Fitness Specialist" etc. etc. These titles don't mean anything and that's a real problem.

And then we go back to proper post-natal stuff as he goes over some benefits of Post-Natal massage (Remember we have a Facebook competition on this week) AND we're talking food hangovers!

Peter waffles his way through another 30 minute episode.

We're talking the principle of the 5-second rule of dropped food and how that should not apply to taking a holiday during a pandemic or when you should start to exercise and eat healthy.

And the importance of core training for athletes. Training the core is quite often overlooked by pro athletes, including top level football players. Peter will tell you the story of a former top-level talent who lost his career because he never did any core specific training.
If you always ignore your core in a gym, you will pay the price at some stage of your life..this is no different for professionals.

And he touches on why you should start training as soon as you find out you're pregnant.

Peter waffles his way through another great 30 minute episode.

He talks about being a hypocrite, and why the 3 months free programming offer might come to an end next month. What to REALLY do to support small business.

The "all or nothing mentality" that works against him.

He also explains why 10 minutes of targeted exercise per day ONLY works for rehab style exercise and is useless for weightloss/over-all health.

AND the importance of building a little winning streak.

Peter waffles his way through tonight's episode wondering about the "shopping trolley problem". He would argue that decent people return a trolley rather than abandon it.

So we're talking about doing the right thing because it's the right thing. Wearing a mask, not being a racist etc. etc.

He also talks about the biggest problem with the "80-20 rule" when it comes to "clean eating". You can not get results if you do the wrong thing 20% of the time.

 Peter waffles his way through 3 Diastasis Recti related questions and myths.

The 2 myths;

1; "Certain Exercises are unsafe when you have Diastasis Recti". Are they though, are they really? Can you use weighted hulahoops, do crunches, planks etc.?

2; "Doming of the stomach is always Diastasis Recti"

And we answer the big question we were asked; "Why is there only help available at the early stages of Diastasis Recti recovery?"

In his example; If you're paying your PT for weightloss advice you're wasting your money as most PTs are idiots when it comes to weightloss.

He also shows you how to spend your money more efficiently if weightloss is your goal.

Peter is not in the best of moods as his Nr1 kitten hasn't been home for a few days but he has found the time to waffle about Anterior Pelvic Tilt. Did you know 75% of ALL women suffer from this??

Quite often women think they have Diastasis Recti but it's actually something else.

Yes, you can have the domed stomach and "the mum tum" without having Diastasis Recti. So what causes it and how can you fix it? And Peter explains why we ALWAYS tackle Anterior Pelvic Tilt in the HPNB program.

Peter waffles on about the importance of form and Range of Motion when exercising. He argues that personal trainers tend to care too much about form, that they don't pay enough attention to how an individual's body moves naturally and that there should be more focus on range of motion and time under tension.

He also briefly talks about the problem with BMI and BAME people in this BBC article. He argues that the problem isn't necessarily that people of colour, including Latin-American, are not included in BMI research but that BMI completely ignores bodytypes. This, means that, when it comes to approving medical operations, it is nowhere near an accurate enough stand-alone measurement. So the problem here isn't really a White/Non-white thing, the problem is more with the measurement itsself.

Peter waffles on about the state of the NHS and how badly it's letting mothers down.

It's simply disgraceful how far behind other countries the UKs health service is when it comes to post-natal care. As always, the baby is well taken care of but the mother is mainly kept alive and seen as a vessel for the newborn (and a supplier of food thereafter).

Did you know in France women get 10 physio appointments after giving birth?

In Germany you get a daily visit from the midwife for 10 days and, in many cases, a midwife will hold exercise classes to help the pelvic floor recover. These are covered by the health insurance.

Of course the US is terrible as well, but that's a rather low bar to set.

Peter waffles on asking why we keep undermining ourselves all the time. Arguing over breastfeeding in public, we keeping shopping at big chains and then complain when the little mom-and-pop shop goes out of business etc.. This carries on into post-natal health when the important is ignored for the trivial. We spend too much time arguing over issues that have mainly been dealt with and that means we don't have a discussion about new, and more important, things.

He also touches on where support forums are useful, and where they fail, and how to stop the dreaded bloat!

Peter waffles about the level of effort required for you to get the results you want.

It's probably higher than the fitness industry, and weightloss industry, wants you to believe and they're doing that deliberately. The problem is that it sets unrealistic expectations and sets you up to fail. In fact, the health and fitness (and weightloss) industry is built around you failing.

Peter waffles about the Ariel "How to pod" commercial. He hates it with a passion until he realises the life-lesson it contains! This is a must listen if ever there was one.

He also touches on expectations again after getting an email from someone who has been working with a PT for 6 months and is not happy about the results.

Quote for the week "Saying you're not training during the lockdown because you can't get to the gym is like saying your kids not studying because schools are shut."

Peter waffles about the level of effort required to get results. When it comes to role models and inspiration; "Look at what they've accomplished AND what they've endured".
The level of effort and sacrifice required to get to that very top is usually significantly more than people think it is.

He also spends some time talking about the "Stretch mat" which he's a little bit obsessed by...it's £200!!

Peter waffles about the question of access to post-natal health advice and care. If women don't discuss things like Diastasis Recti with eachother how will this stuff ever become widely available to all women?

He also has some advice for a husband who emailed in asking how he could get his wife to do the exercises to help heal her Diastasis Recti. "DON'T!" kind of sums it up

Peter waffles about obesity and Diastasis Recti. Are obese people more likely to have DR? Is there a causal link or are they seperate issues?

He also makes the point that GPs might want to lay off the weightloss "advice" during the 6 week check-up. It would be much more useful to inform obese women that they have Diastasis Recti and there are exercises that will help heal that.

Peter waffles his way through a Q&A answering the following questions;

"Why hasn't my Diastasis Recti healed after a year even though I've been exercising?"

"I just gave birth to my 3rd 2 weeks ago and my body is a mess. I have Diastasis Recti, my stomach looks horrible, and my back really hurts. Will it ever get back to normal?"

"No matter how hard I train, I'm just not getting the results I want." This is one that everybody should listen to.

Peter waffles about Rep ranges, big weights vs small weights. What is best for the post-natal woman, and why we do what we do. Do you need the strength to lift a tantrum throwing toddler off the ground? Then why only use light weights in training?
If you need to lift anything for a longer duration then why would you only do low reps?

In short; he's answering the big questions of the week.

 Peter waffles about many things this evening; The two kinds of "bad" diet and the importance of exercising during the pregnancy.

He starts off by chatting about people complaining after the event. In this case, a lady with mobility issues who complained that a lot of the exercises in the program were not suitable for her as she was in a wheelchair.

There's no point in paving over the cracks when, with a bit of effort, you can resolve the problem completely.
