Today on the show, we talk about how to handle fitness and nutrition when you get sick. We share our personal experiences, and discuss giving ourselves grace when we’re under the weather.

We especially focus on your return to fitness after an illness, and the importance of easing yourself back in and removing your emotions from your workouts and nutrition. We offer actionable steps to make your nutrition super easy, and how to get the ball rolling when you start to feel better.

“Nothing good comes from a place of disrespect. Establish why you’re doing this and head into it from a place of respect for yourself, respect for your body, respect for your mind.”

- IrisDeadlifts

“If you go in balls to the wall trying to hit it hard on the first day back, you can actually prolong being sick or get yourself sick again because you’re putting too much stress on your immune system.”

- Brooke Madigan
