Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In today’s episode, I have Lindsay Parker with me, also known as Lifting Lindsay, a coach who helps women over 40 build muscle, strength, and confidence while balancing life as a mom of four, to talk about Body Comp > Scale Weight, Women and Maint Cals, Thyroid Issues, Postpartum and more

We get into training during pregnancy, what postpartum recovery actually looks like, and how to know when to push or pull back. Lindsay also breaks down fat loss vs maintenance, why aggressive bulking is often unnecessary, and how to still perform well in a calorie deficit. We also dive into blood work, thyroid health, and the importance of looking at the full picture instead of just macros.

If you want a more realistic and sustainable approach to training, nutrition, and long term progress, this episode is a must listen.
