The Dr. Kelsi Show: Recent Episodes
Kelsi DeMelo
Normally, Iām not the kind of girl that cares about post likes - I care more that I have a thriving business, happy coaches and happy clientsā¦.
But the lack of engagement in my recent posts seemed weird....
So I spoke to my mentor and we uncovered some of the ābannedā language I was using...
& since I evidently can't say it on Instagram... I'll say it HERE!!!

Most women come to us saying phrases like:
āI just want to get tonedā
āI just want to LOOK like I workoutā
āI heat healthy I donāt know why this isnāt workingā
The ātoneā youāre looking for is being able to visibly SEEĀ the muscle underneath the fatā¦ BUT.. if you donāt have muscle to see, you will in fact never actually look toned..Ā

To my parents' disappointment, I was a PT (physical therapy) school dropout. Ā My career has been a twisty-turny-path.. I always knew I wanted to have MASSIVE IMPACT on women's health and help them re-write what health even IS... because let's be honest, the system isn't doing us any good ladies!!
At the end of the day.. I've wanted to produce MASSIVE impact, and this is the best way I know how!

This episode is more than just "don't text at the gym"... it goes a step beyond by talking about the frustrating reality of working endlessly and not getting results, including the ONE thing you can do instead of just digging your heels into the ground and working harder.

This episode is all about what it means to be "feminine" with guest speaker Darlene Marshall, the only personal trainer with an MS in Applied Positive Psychology.Ā

The most common question I get in the DM's!!! I wish I could just wave my magic fitness wand and give you an answer - but unfortunately it's WAY more complicated than that...
If you can get through the HARSH reality of the first 3 minutes, you'll get to hear how we work with our one-on-one coaching clients to answer this question for THEM and get the weight off.
And if you drop in my DM's asking how many calories you need to eat to lose weight... I'm probably going to forward this to you ;)Ā
Last week I posted on my story about the 75 Hard Challenge.. and I lost a good handful of followers over it. BUT I'm okay with that because I'm sticking to my guns, sticking to my principles and morals and I'm not budging!Ā
Ever hear terms like "metabolically adapted" ?
Or hear someone say they just LOOK at a carb and gain weight?Ā
Here's why!Ā
Food FOMO hit me hard last week at the grocery store. Peyton grabbed some ice cream, said ice cream didn't fit into my day, and... cue the water works. In this episode, I unpack that and talk more about "rational" and "delusional" food FOMO!!Ā

A good coach will answer every fitness / nutrition related question with another question... HERE'S WHY!
Similar to any big goal, a lot of competitors report having the "post show blues". Here's everything I'm currently going through and doing to ward off those feelings <3Ā
Studies have shown that stretching before you workout can actually DECREASE muscle strength by up to 30%
And yes... EVERY single one of the topics I've done in this 5-week series I have done before!
Learn from my mistakes friends :)Ā
To be clear - I love yoga. I do yoga regularly and I often advise clients to do the same. BUT... if you have lower back pain, yoga can actually contribute to the problem.Ā
Yoga CAN help low back pain... IF you know what you're doing!Ā
Welp - due to recent events and an unexpected email from a client this morning, I decided to go a little off plan hereĀ
Enjoy my 15 minute rant about how some practitioners are stuck in the stone ages and continue to perpetuate diet culture bull shit
You're welcome :)Ā
Stair master for glute building.. yikes.Ā
This one couldn't be more WRONG for multiple reasons.Ā
Long story short - there is no form of cardio that will build glutes. PERIOD!Ā

The whole month of April I'll be discussing the top 5 Worst Pieces of Fitness Advice!
That's an in-depth discussion of 1 shitty piece of advice per week, every week for 5 weeks.
"Don't eat before you train to burn more calories" is our first topic - something I used to not only believe, but implement and advise!!!Ā
Turns out, it couldn't be further from the truth...
Once you know better, do better :)Ā

A few weeks ago, I posted about how I thought "clean eating" was overrated - and as our friendship usually goes, my good friend Dr. Ashley Landof called me out.Ā
Was I wrong? No. But I was speaking about food from a fitness and weight management perspective. Why we choose to eat what we eat is SO much deeper than what we think. Cultural, environmental and political concerns are often overlooked when examining our food choices.
Dr. Ashley runs a virtual migraine management program, and she can be reached at the email below :)Ā

Welcome to The Dr. Kelsi Show!! I am seriously thrilled to start this new venture of a "solo" podcast -Ā I know it sounds a silly, but doing this is a bit outside of my comfort zone. And that's exactly what our first episode is about: comfort zones.
Despite the fact that I could talk about health, fitness and nutritionĀ all day long... it wasn't always an area I was very "comfortable" in. Ā
For the past few years I've had the privilege of running marathons, living in NYC, putting "Dr." in front of my name and nationally qualifying in figure and bikini within the NPC...
But the purpose of this episode isn't to brag...It's to remind you that everyone starts somewhere
It's to inspire you to push outside of your comfort zone
It's to remind you that greatness isn't achieved when you're "comfortable"Ā
....and it took a damn lot of coaching and effort to push past those boundaries!
When you're looking at someone's success: remember that success was a product of pushing outside of their comfort zone - which has become an important part of my mission in helping women understand their bodies.Ā
Enjoy :)
