    The Subtle Signs of Physical Over-Extension
    Oct 24 2025

    Today I talk with Allison Yamamoto, sports nutritionist and founder of Koa Foundations Program about REDS - Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport which you may have never heard of but might already have! REDS is common in athletes but can easily happen to the average hobby runner and over worked fitness enthusiast. REDS has come up as part of many conversations here on Busy Body and I’m so glad to devote an entire episode to this important topic!Allison was kind enough to extend a free stress relief resource to Busy Body listeners HERETo connect with Allison find her on IG HEREOr apply for her REDS Foundation program HERE

  • Patience Becomes Trust

    Patience Becomes Trust
    Sep 17 2025
    So pleased to have Coach Rachel on again to talk about running, the patience it takes to create a consistent running practice and the difference between being obsessed with metrics versus learning to trust our own bodies and journey. Very much the ethos of our Coaching Program, Virtual Run Club - now on Early Bird Sale till Oct 6th - We start Running October 13th!Trusting our body comes with time and experience. In this episode we hear about the ten year journey that took Rachel from someone intimidated by marathons to logging so many she’s lost count. We share insights and some pretty astounding experiences from our recent running adventures. Rachel just came in 2nd overall and 1st in her age group (in her early 40’s 🔥) in her longest yet Ultra Race and I just came back from 5 days hiking and running the French Alps with the Wilder Running Retreat. Pretty epic! And pretty exhausting (for me at least)! Spoiler alert age is not a barrier in stamina sports! I hope you’ll find this conversation as inspiring as I did! (I definitely went running right after recording - pretty irresistible after hearing Rachel’s journey!)If you are not already a paid subscriber please consider it! These episodes cost $ to produce and A LOT of time to create. In addition the essays I write usually take me up to 2 weeks to write, edit etc… that’s a lot of work and I believe people should be paid for their work ( especially women 🔥) a monthly subscription is only $7 and it means so much to have your support. Thank you ❤️Virtual Run Club is an inclusive running club, all levels and abilities are welcome.If you’re looking for support, structure, and help with consistency, this group is for you!

    In the 2nd episode of my conversation with Mikala Jamison, author of the substack Body Type and upcoming book, The Forever Project (out next summer!). We pick up where we left off discussing the the importance of curiosity over criticism, and how societal trends impact our self-perception and our ever ongoing journey towards embracing our bodies without judgment. Such a great convo, look out for more when Mikala’s book comes out this spring!
