38:30

Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

Ladies, if you lift, run, jump, or even just sneeze, this is an episode you need to hear. Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t just a postpartum or aging issue; it affects active women of all ages and often goes unaddressed…until it becomes a problem. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Courtney Johnson, DPT, aka The Female Athlete Doc, a pelvic floor physical therapist who gets the gym. She speaks the language of lifting and doesn’t believe in sidelining women from the barbell. Instead, she’s all about keeping you active, strong, and leak-free. We dig into the real function of the pelvic floor, why Kegels aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and how every lift is a chance to train your core and pelvic floor, if you know how to use it. You’ll walk away from this conversation feeling empowered, educated, and maybe even rethinking how you brace for your next set of squats. Ready to lift smarter (and leak less)? Let’s jump in.

359: Overcoming the Scale Obsession: How to Track Progress without Losing Your Mind 40:06

vor 23 weeks40:06

“Why does the number on the scale have so much power over us?” In this episode, I explore a challenge many of us face—the scale and the emotional rollercoaster it creates in our fitness journey. I’ll explain how our attachment to that number can derail our progress and lead to emotional highs and lows. You’ll learn why obsessing over the scale can be more damaging than we often realize, and why simply throwing it away isn’t always the answer. Instead, I’ll share how to detach from the scale emotionally and find more empowering ways to track your progress. If the scale has left you feeling frustrated or defeated, this episode is for you—let’s change the way we approach it. Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/359 Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok !

Plus, we’ll explore key mindset shifts that drive consistency, break the cycle of self-sabotage, and create lasting change.
