Andy's Final Takeaways

If you've ever felt like most health and fitness advice wasn't built for your life, you're right. Dr. Andy Galpin is one of the world's leading exercise physiologists, and in this conversation, he gives you the science that actually applies to women: through your 20s, 30s, 40s, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Kate asks him to coach her directly — five and a half months pregnant, building a company, and planning to run the New York City Marathon postpartum with only 12 weeks of training.

After this episode, you will know:
Why young women are in a silent bone density crisis — and the window when you can still reverse it
How poor sleep is quietly destroying your ability to perform, recover, and stay lean
Why training harder is often the exact reason you're not seeing results
What elite athletes actually do that costs nothing — and that most people skip
How to train safely and stay strong through pregnancy, postpartum, and every decade after

Post Run High

Post Run High is a podcast about honest conversations that happen when people slow down and let their guard drop.

Hosted by Kate Mackz, the show brings together founders, creators, athletes, artists, and thinkers to talk about performance, identity, pressure, and the moments that shape who we become. Recorded after a run, walk, or shared movement, these conversations tap into the clarity that often comes when the body is tired and the mind is open.

This isn’t a show about success on paper. It’s about what people carry behind the scenes — how they cope with doubt, navigate change, stay disciplined, and keep going when things get hard. Post Run High is a space for reflection, perspective, and real insight you can take into your own life.
