Guest Bio:
Liza Lomax is a passionate advocate for self-healing and personal transformation. After struggling with body image, emotional eating, and the pressure to meet unrealistic standards, Liza embarked on a powerful journey toward self-acceptance. Raised in a challenging environment, she grappled with feelings of unworthiness, a hidden identity, and the weight of perfectionism. Her journey included battling anorexia, bulimia, and yo-yo dieting, all while trying to numb emotional pain.
At her heaviest, Liza was over 300 pounds and faced serious health risks, but a turning point came when a doctor warned her she might not live to see her young son grow up. Motivated to change, she lost 105 pounds in 13 months, but the deeper emotional work was just beginning. Today, Liza helps others break free from unhealthy cycles by addressing the root causes of their struggles, empowering them to embrace their true selves. She now shares her story to inspire others to heal, grow, and live authentically.
Liza is excited to connect with listeners and invites anyone who feels ready to begin their own healing journey to reach out.

12 SEP 2024 · Nicky Edwards, a physio specialised in female health and running, shares her journey into physiotherapy and marathon running. She initially chose sports science as a way to continue playing hockey in university but later discovered physiotherapy through a sports injury module. Nicky has since become passionate about female-specific training and the importance of exercise for women's health. She emphasises the need for women to stay active throughout different stages of life, despite challenges such as hormonal changes, childcare responsibilities, and caring for elderly relatives.
Nicky also provides tips for getting started with exercise, including walking, strength training, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) while cautioning against fasting before exercise for women. The conversation covers topics such as the importance of fueling the body before exercise, the impact of disordered eating on women over 40, the role of mindset in physical health, and the release of Nicky Edwards' book 'The Female Runner's Advantage' which focuses on female-specific training and running.
Takeaways
- Nicky Edwards chose physiotherapy after discovering it through a sports injury module during her sports science studies.
- She is passionate about female-specific training and the importance of exercise for women's health.
- Women face challenges in staying active throughout different life stages, including hormonal changes, childcare responsibilities, and caring for elderly relatives.
- Starting with walking, incorporating strength training, and considering high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can be beneficial for women's fitness.
- It is important for women to avoid fasting before exercise to manage cortisol levels. Fueling the body before exercise, even with a small amount of food, can improve performance and reduce inflammation.
- Disordered eating is not limited to extreme cases like anorexia and bulimia, but can also include irregular eating patterns and calorie restriction, which can have negative effects on the body.
- Mindset plays a crucial role in physical health and can impact one's ability to overcome challenges and achieve goals.
- Nicky Edwards' book 'The Female Runner's Advantage' provides valuable information on female-specific training and running, taking into account the impact of hormones and age.
- The book is relevant not only for runners, but for any active female and coaches working with female athletes.
Sound Bites
- "I didn't know that physiotherapists worked with musculoskeletal injuries, neurological problems, respiratory problems, pediatrics, nothing. I knew nothing."
- "I never wanted to ever run a marathon. I actually worked at the London Marathon as a physiotherapist, as a volunteer previously. And I watched everybody running by and I'm going, you're an idiot, you're an idiot, you're an idiot."
- "How can I do this really, really efficiently in the least time possible, but still absolutely smash out a cracking time."
- "If you can wake up and literally have a couple of bites of banana, just something to break that fast, but also to provide you with some readily available glucose to fuel that exercise, you're going to perform really well."
- "Disordered eating covers a very wide spectrum. It can be just, you know, not eating sort of regularly and things like that. So it isn't just the extremes where, you know, you're going to get the medical."
- "Food is fuel. We can have really nutritious food. We can have the treats that we enjoy. It's all fuel."
