Elizabeth Swail is the special guest on this week’s episode of Bodies By Brent. She’s an entrepreneur, weightlifter, mom, wife, and wellness expert based in Austin, where her and her husband Michael run their Holistic Wellness Center Alive and Well.
Liz had a complicated journey into the health and wellness space, as growing up she experienced a turbulent home life, disordered eating, suicidal thoughts, and poverty. She and Brent discuss her childhood and compare the “then” and “now” of her life, touching on how she transformed her own health by making changes over time. They list the benefits of giving up gluten and alcohol, and the long-term benefits that you’ll see if you invest time and effort into your weightlifting regime. Liz also shares how she balanced her strength training around her two pregnancies, and how she managed to keep training right up until giving birth.
This interview also delves into some deeper topics, such as what it means to be “masculine” today and why men are lacking male role models in society. Liz explains the role that her Christian faith plays in her life and encourages listeners to find a higher power so that they’re not the center of their own universe. At the end of the interview, she tells Brent about the legacy that she wants to leave the world.
