February 19, 2024 05:00 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MBIf you feel like you're doing everything right in the gym and still not seeing the results you want, you probably fall into one of two categories...

Muscle is initially broken down in the gym and built back up through nutrition, sleep, and rec...

February 12, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MBI saw a message getting shared on Instagram recently making the claim that: “ANYONE who tracks their calories / macros has a BAD RELATIONSHIP with food”... So I wanted to give our thoughts having worked with hundreds of women, many through tracking, many coming to us with negative relationships with food, and answer the question… DOES tracking calories/macros create a bad relationship with food? Hot take: No. That would be like saying that budgeting your finances creates a ba...

January 22, 2024 05:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBI’m not going to just tell you how to fix the SYMPTOMS of a cortisol imbalance, because only fixing symptoms is like plugging the sink but leaving the water running.

January 15, 2024 05:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MBThe women who are often in the WORST position are the ones who have been conditioned to living in “fight or flight”.

Ep. 150 Why You Self Sabotage Your Health and Fitness Goals
December 18, 2023 05:00 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBYou don’t self sabotage because you’re weak, not disciplined enough, or a “failure.” You self sabotage because something in the goal you are working towards is being perceived as a threat to your physical, mental, or emotional safety. Rather than try harder, do this instead: Most people actually have more than enough discipline to achieve their goals, they just aren’t applying it in the right way. We’ve been told that if we procrastinate or avoid taking action the only way to...

December 11, 2023 05:00 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBMuch like eating intuitively, there's a way to approach alcohol that will serve you best especially around this time of year... We recently got back from an all inclusive trip to Mexico and the old version's of us would have only had one thing in mind, "How can we get our money's worth and drink as much as we want?"

November 20, 2023 05:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBIf you’re having trouble hitting your macros, it is typically coming down to this one thing... Poor planning. And when it comes to poor planning, there’s 2 things you really should be planning for: Your specific macros and your hunger levels. Most people don’t feel the same amount of hunger day to day. That’s because stress, sleep, activity level, and other variables can cause you to feel more or less hungry. So maybe you plan to eat the same meals every day to hit your m...

October 16, 2023 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBWhen I was introduced to this concept, how I thought about my health completely changed...

Ep. 139 Are You Overeating or Undereating? Here's How to Know
October 02, 2023 04:00 - 49 minutes - 45.1 MBOne of the biggest questions I get is “How do I know if I’m overeating or undereating?" It’s especially common when you’re trying to figure it all out on your own and you’ve never worked with a good coach before. I remember when I first started to learn about nutrition and the benefits of eating at maintenance calories for health and body recomposition, I wanted to eat at maintenance, so I calculated my estimated maintenance, but I constantly found myself doubting whether it was “rig...

September 11, 2023 04:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBOur bodies and brains are different during each phase of our cycle, so our food, exercise, and self-care should ideally be different each week, too. If you’ve been living in a ‘same-thing-everyday’ way, you’re not alone. I used to believe in having the same routine every day. And it is definitely a widespread cultural belief, especially within “hustle culture”, that we are supposed to repeat the same rituals every 24 hours- have the same morning routine, exercise the same way each week a...

Ep. 134 The Only Food Rules You Should Actually Follow
August 28, 2023 04:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBI used to follow endless food rules… Don’t eat after XYZ time of night... Only eat whole foods, nothing processed... Don’t eat ingredients you can’t pronounce… Don’t eat carbs outside of workouts… I think it’s because I like structure and rules simplify things in my brain. But rules also inherently lead to rule breaking, which leads to guilt, which leads to a cycle of guilt and shame around food. In today's episode, I want to share some food guidelines that have cha...
Ep. 133 Metabolic Damage: The Hidden Culprit Behind Stubborn Weight
August 21, 2023 04:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBI used to think my body was simply a machine, and you just need to hit a few buttons to lose weight... Hit the button for increasing calories burned by moving your booty; hit the button for decreasing calories in your pie hole. AKA Calories In vs. Calories Out. CICO is a law, and it is true. BUT our bodies are more like complex computers… there’s more to our programming than meets the eye. To lose weight we need to dial in 3 things: Your diet - specifically how much calories ...

Ep. 124 Why Cardio is Terrible for Fat Loss
June 19, 2023 04:00 - 21 minutes - 19.3 MBI’m not anti cardio, I’m anti relying on cardio for fat loss... I spent too much of my younger years thinking that cardio was the sole way to my dream body and I couldn't have been more wrong. This is a common myth in the health and fitness industry I am adamant on breaking. Why strength training is so much better for losing weight and losing fat is the fact that it keeps our metabolism strong and allows us to have muscle mass on our frame that works with us instead of body fat that ...
