The surprising reason for your back and hip pain (not visible on an x-ray)
Get ready for the most laughs you have ever encountered in a conversation about pelvic floor health.

Meals to give your picky eaters control
I’ve had a lot of conversations with other moms who struggle with providing quality meals to picky eaters. Plus, let’s face it: as our kids get older, they want more control of everything. This is normal as they grow; my challenge is giving them the chance to have control while still offering foods that will make my teen athletes fuel and perform well. After all, the precooked chicken flatbread sandwiches and taquitos in my freezer are well within their scope of making, but due to the salt co...

Why your tight hip flexors may be a function of your nervous system...and other fascinating correlations with Elisabeth Kristof
I’ve shared before that when I began this podcast, I intended to have a faith-filled, grace-based focus on our eating and movement. That was it. Honestly that’s all I knew. But as the saying goes, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. As this show has progressed and I’ve had extended conversations with counselors, faith leaders, and more, I realized our mind and emotions are so intricately connected to the rest of our body and these impact our eating and movement. My conversation with Elisabeth Kri...

🎉Celebrating 200 episodes by handing off the mic 🎤- Amy is interviewed by her friend Laura
Today marks the 200th episode of the Graced Health podcast. I can’t believe it and can honestly say it overflows my soul. As I was thinking about how I wanted to celebrate 200 episodes, I considered doing several things. But what seemed the most authentic to who I am and what I love was to hand the mic over. Today my walking partner Laura is interviewing me instead of me interviewing someone else. Laura and I began running about five years ago and she has graciously allowed us to transition to ...

5 ways to be kind to your future healthy self
I thrive in having schedules, projects, and plans. These bring me a strange sense of peace. I know if I am checking off the items associated with those then I am achieving my goals. But I also know that schedules, projects, and plans go awry. That's why I have found it helpful to have a back-up plan. Or, as a mentor of mine says, being kind to My Future Self. This can come in all fashions like preparing coffee the night before or filling up my car with gasoline on my way home so I don't have to...

BONUS: Laughs, pro tips, and cackling by the campfire with Amy and her friend Marni
Instead of the typical shorter Ask the Trainer, today I'm offering a bonus episode with my dear friend Marni. She is a dear friend for almost 30 years, a smart businesswoman, a loving mom and wife, an owner of a LOT of pets, and an expert camper. We literally sat down by the "cackling" campfire (yes she called me out for saying that) and chatted about our time camping and her pro tips (I even offered one I figured out!) Listen in for some laughs and camping pro tips. Revelation Parter: What ...

5 questions to ask yourself as you plan your fitness for the new year
It's that time of year again. Last week while en route from my home in Houston to visit a friend in Phoenix, I reset my calendar. Truthfully, I do this 3 times a year: at the beginning of the school year, at the beginning of Summer, and of course at the beginning of the calendar year. There's always a bit of excitement for me during this time. What do I want my days to look like? What do I want my workouts to look like? And of course, when can I pick up my groceries (bless you curbside pickup)? ...

Spoiler alert: you don't have to get sweaty and huff and puff with these workouts, either! Get your copy of Your Worthy Body here. Leave a review of the p...
