Stress eating tends to show up when stress is high, food intake has been inconsistent or restcited, and coping skills are stretched thin. It's a pattern shaped by physiology, restriction, and the pace of modern life, not a personal failure. Maggie, Ryann, and Chloe unpack why stress eating is so common, how dieting and poor body image pressure pour fuel on the fire, and what helps reduce it without eliminating foods you enjoy. They cover the role of the nervous system, cortisol, sleep, blood sugar, and restriction backlash, along with practical strategies like the HALT check-in, planning enjoyable foods on purpose, stepping away from the pantry, and using stress relief tools that don't revolve around eating. If food often becomes the default response at the end of a hard day, this conversation offers a realistic, compassionate path forward, focused on habits and behavior change that hold up in real life.

Active recovery gets talked about a lot and misunderstood even more. Brooke, Acacia, and Jess Gordon break down what active recovery days are for, why so many people accidentally turn them into training days, and how that mindset can quietly stall progress, drive fatigue, and increase injury risk. They dig into what active recovery should (and should not) look like, how to spot when you're under-recovering, why recovery days still require proper nutrition, and how stress outside the gym changes what your body needs. From performance athletes to everyday gym-goers, this conversation reframes recovery as a tool for better training, not time off you have to "earn." If you're constantly sore, always tired, or feel like you're working hard but not moving forward, this might be the missing piece.

January 1 comes with big expectations and very little energy. After weeks of disrupted routines, social overload, and "I'll deal with it in January" thinking, a lot of people don't feel refreshed... they feel behind and burnt out. This conversation meets that reality honestly. Brooke, Morgan, and Sabrina talk about what actually feeling your best looks like coming out of the holidays. Not a reset. Not a hard restart. Just a steady return to habits that support energy, digestion, training, mental health, and real life. They break down why January motivation dips, why overcorrecting backfires, and what consistency looks like when you stop chasing perfect plans. Daily movement without punishment. Eating enough without swinging between restriction and chaos. Boundaries, rest days, and routines that hold up when life gets busy. No detoxes. No heroics. No starting over. Feeling your best in 2026 is about stabilizing first, then building from there. You don't have to do everything all at once.

We've been conditioned to believe health has a look, and that if we don't match it, we must be doing something wrong. That assumption leaves a lot of people feeling like failures, even when they're showing up consistently and doing their best. Christin, Jess Gordon and Sam (RD) unpack why appearance is a poor proxy for health and how genetics, environment, mental health, access to care, and life circumstances all play a role in what health actually looks like for different people. The conversation breaks down the limitations of body composition as a metric, why social media distorts our perception of "healthy," and how focusing on behaviors > aesthetics creates a more realistic, compassionate, and sustainable framework for health. If you've ever judged your progress by the mirror, the scale, or someone else's body, this conversation offers a needed reframe.

Diet culture has never really been about health. Yet it's shaped how we think about food, bodies, and worth, often without our consent, and it keeps getting rebranded as something new. From calorie counting and purity culture to influencer wellness and weight-loss drugs, the message stays the same. In this conversation, Ryann, Joyce, and Chloe break down where diet culture actually came from, how it shows up today, and why shame, restriction, and thinness have never been reliable markers of health. They talk about language, marketing, social media, postpartum vulnerability, and what it actually looks like to opt out without giving up on performance, aesthetics, or long-term health.   Black Iron Nutrition Book a Free Discovery Call Free Macro Calculator Free Downloads Black Iron Blog Check Out Fe26 Strategy Session

GLP-1 medications are everywhere, and so is misinformation. Lauren (CNS/LDN), Sam (RD), and Maggie unpack what matters most when using GLP-1s for weight loss. Appetite suppression changes nutrition needs, and under-eating is one of the most common risks seen in practice. Protein intake, resistance training, and adequate overall intake play a critical role in preserving muscle and supporting metabolic health. The conversation addresses common questions around plateaus, side effects, body composition changes, and what truly influences weight regain after stopping medication. For anyone using a GLP-1 or considering one, the focus is on clarity, intention, and building outcomes that hold up long term. GLP-1s can be a powerful tool. Nutrition strategy determines the outcome. Book a Free Discovery Call Free Macro Calculator Free Downloads Black Iron Blog Strategy Session

Amanda, Sabrina, and Ryann sit down for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about what it actually looks like to work with a nutrition coach at Black Iron and who coaching is (and isn't) for. They unpack common misconceptions about coaching, why "just give me a meal plan" usually backfires, and how education, accountability, and habit-building drive real, long-term progress. The conversation covers everything from cutting through social media noise to why sustainable change should feel more like small, boring tune-ups than dramatic overhauls. They also explain how we structures our coaching tiers, what makes our client–coach relationships successful, and why being coachable, honest, and willing to experiment matters more than perfection. You'll hear real examples of how our clients gain confidence with food, improve performance and recovery, reduce injuries, and rebuild trust with their bodies, often without chasing aesthetics as the primary goal.

The holidays tend to throw routines, digestion, energy, and food decisions completely off track. Fiber might be the simplest tool most people are overlooking.

Morgan, Jess, and Brooke break down what actually drives healthy blood pressure, why hydration and potassium matter more than people realize, how movement fits in (without overcomplicating it), and why stress and sleep can push your numbers around more than salty food ever will.
