The Wall EP.17 - Mental Health, Fitness and Treating Yourself with Laura Dorgan

The Wall by Stephanie O'Quigley

Welcome back to The Wall podcast and thank you for bearing with me. It’s been 11 weeks since I started quarantine and I took a break from recording as I tried to adapt to this new life. I'm sure you are all doing your bit to adjust and I truly hope everyone reading this is doing well and staying safe.

We here so many buzzwords when it comes to fitness. There's fitness fads, trends, meal plans, strength training or cardio training, low carbs, or calorie deficit. Health goals can get overwhelming very quickly. In this episode, I spoke with a lovely friend of mine, Laura Dorgan, who also happens to be a personal trainer here in New York.

Laura trains men and women all over the world to reach their health goals whatever that may be; building strength, mobility, gaining or losing weight. Laura will be the first person to tell you she has an app (!) with hundreds of exercises, meal plans, recipes, and more. She has thousands of Instagram followers too, following her journey in NYC and shares an insight into what exercise and food look like for a personal trainer, along with her struggles with endometriosis.

Laura joined me on the podcast to talk through some fitness and nutrition myths and the biggest and best muscle we need to exercise; the brain. Each and every one of us has a unique goal for our body, even if that goal is just maintenance. For some, the health journey means so much more and in many cases, it can be a huge ‘wall’ to tackle. Join Laura and me in our real chat about the better health journey and get a look inside what a program with Laura herself might feel like.
