Transcribe →S6 E9: 26.2 & Beyond with Ricki Stone
May 600:58:26Tap to summarizeRunning 26.2 miles isn’t just about race day—it’s the culmination of months of early mornings, long runs, mindset shifts, and showing up when it would’ve been easier not to.In this episode, we sit down with Ricki Stone, a recent London Marathon finisher to unpack what it really takes. We dive into the training behind the scenes, the nutrition strategies that fuel performance, and the recovery habits that keep everything moving when your body starts to push back.But more than that, we explore a powerful truth: the marathon itself is just the finale.

Mar 501:00:46Tap to summarizeIn this episode we sit down with The Pilates Prescription to unpack everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Pilates.We discuss what Pilates actually is, how it helps with strength, posture and core stability, and demystify the equipment — from reformers to rings, balls and blocks. We also explore where Pilates fits alongside strength training and whether you need both for a well-rounded routine.Most importantly, we talk about how Pilates doesn’t have to mean committing to long classes. In our busy lives, small, consistent “bites” of movement throughout the day can be just as powerful — proving that a little done often can go a long way.If you’ve ever been curious about Pilates, confused about reformers, or wondered how to fit it into a realistic routine, this episode is for you.You can find Rebecca on instagram @pilates_prescription and her app through the apple store!Any questions get in touch on info@ace-lifestyle.com or @ace.transform
Transcribe →S6 E2: When GLP-1's get into the wrong hands
Feb 1800:46:35Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we explore the growing use — and misuse — of GLP-1 weight-loss medications and what happens when they’re used without proper education, screening, or long-term support.We talk about why rapid weight loss alone isn’t the same as improved health, the risks of muscle loss and under-fueling, and why strength training, protein intake, and sustainable habits matter more than ever. We also discuss who these medications may be appropriate for — and where things can go wrong when they’re treated as a quick fix rather than a medical tool.This is an honest, evidence-based conversation about weight loss, responsibility, and protecting long-term health — especially for women in midlife.We'd love to hear what you have to say!
