Sister, you were born for such a time as this! As a Christian woman, it's time to get focus, clarity and determination. Let's get comfy in your own skin again, lose the weight and fulfill your life's purpose with strength, dignity and energy like crazy!
It's January and most of us are getting back on the bandwagon after a holiday of fun. It's time to lose weight and get serious before swimsuits and shorts are here to stay for awhile. More than anything, I want you to lose weight (the healthy way) and feel comfortable in your skin again. If you're on your path to weight loss, but you've got a bit of chronic loose stools, your plan may stop working - and I want to help you figure out why (hint: it might not the plan, but rather your body trying to tell you something is off with your digestion). As we continue our series Weird Things & Weight Loss, today we dive into why loose stools may be causing your weight loss to stall, or worse - go up. I uncover the top reasons for loose stools and get you a few lifestyle pointers and tips to help try and get those stools under control so you can achieve your dream body.

Maybe you drink a pot of coffee a day to go or just wait it out and work through the miserable bloating.

In today's episode we'll cover: How often you should go and what your stool should look like The 2 most common imbalances behind constipation How constipation can lead to staying fat and getting fatter What bio-markers we use at 4:14 Fitness to test for the specific culprit responsible for each case of constipation.

If your hair starts to suddenly fall out - I'm talking EVERYWHERE - then something is going on in your body. It's likely been there for a while and is now pushing your body towards an imbalance.

Today's episode will be a deep dive into what the #1 thing is and how you can test at home to see if this might be the problem your hair is falling out.

In this episode I explain what's likely going on and tell you how you can start to fix this issue for good.

In today's episode, I'm spilling it all when it comes to the TRUTH in getting your stubborn belly fat to budge.Walk with me as I teach how to use:The 3 PM Carb Cut-OffThe power of never eating a carb by itself (even a healthy one)Using a glucometer to take the guess work out of how your body is processing carbsWhat part of digestion might be broken that's keeping you bloated, heavy and miserable.
Today's episode is a little risky to publish. Why? Fat - we all have it. For some of us it's the belly or the muffin-top. For others it's the thunder thighs, saddle bags and jiggly parts. At 4:14 Fitness we do what NO ONE ELSE does...we work to balance the body, and in return, fat naturally falls right off. Yep! Even the stubborn stuff that's been hanging around for decades!Today's episode spills the secret sauce to rapid fat loss success. We don't use the typical calorie in vs. calorie out formula, or the 80% diet, 10% nutrition, 10% genetics theory. Nope - old school doesn't work, ESPECIALLY when it comes to problem areas (you know, the parts that just won't budge no matter how much weight you lose). We use the 4:14 Methodology, and it's like nothing you've heard before.Listen as I walk you through the protocol, from top to bottom, that I use with every single client (regardless of age, challenge or diagnosis) for accelerated results and rapid fat-loss.
Autoimmune...no, you aren't crazy! Your body truly is different from everyone else. In order to get results when it comes to fitness and food we can't simply through out some macros and tell you to workout until you burn through all of your calories.Not to worry, it is still very possible to lose weight with autoimmune. My motto, "Eat for the body you want. Exercise for the strength you want. Never confuse the 2!"In today's episode, I walk you through a starting point for macros (once your digestion is optimal). We are going to talk about 4 digestion issues I look at before we ever dive deep into macros. Listen in as I walk you through the process I use for myself, and my clients, when it comes to food and autoimmune for weight loss.
It's not all in your head. Your body doesn't respond to fitness programming like someone without autoimmune. While personal trainers and group fitness experts do their best to train you in a way that should work to give you an athletic look, often times it's just too much stress for your body. Your hormones get out of whack and your fitness program doesn't do what you expect it to. All your hard work and dedication results in disappointment.Today, I share with you how I personally train clients (myself included) who have autoimmune. I lay the groundwork for why I do what I do...and then give I you all the goods. Remember, this is a starting point. There is a lot of lifestyle coaching and adjustment that goes into getting results with an autoimmune issue. It can be done, it just takes committing to never give up and educating yourself on how your body works best.You can learn how to make fitness shape your body...let's get started.Resources:Autoimmune Protocol Cheat Sheet Download Application for Personal Training with Sarah
You're at home all day every day, so you decide to really focus on getting your body back and doing a little toning. You are ALL IN! You have access to thousands of free workout apps along with millions of at-home workout videos on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram...so you pick one (probably with the person who looks like you want your body to look) and get you going. You put in the time, the effort, the sweat, the tears and the soreness (ouch!). It will all be worth it in a few short weeks.Fast-forward three weeks later and you're exhausted, tired, grumpy, your weight is up and your belly feels bigger than when you started. What in the world happened? Ugh. Does your body hate you or what? Are you bound to stay this size forever? Life was way better when you weren't watching what you ate and showing up every day for a workout you didn't want to do. The truth: your body isn't a bank account and fitness won't get you to your weight loss goal. Fitness should be used as a tool to gain strength and tone your body. Nutrition should be your primary source of weight loss. IF you don't follow this protocol, eventually your body will rebel and you'll be stuck in the cycle of misery I described above.I invite you to be a fly on the wall today and listen in as I walk through how I coach and trouble shoot issues with my personal clients. If you suffer from autoimmune, PCOS, low energy or insulin resistance, you might pick up a tip or two to use in your own programming.Resources:4:14 Fitness Web Page28-Day LockDown Challenge4:14 Fitness Virtual Gym

Detox-It's all the buzz right now. Everyone is doing it. Many of us don't know the truth - our body detoxes all day, every day. Technically, you're already detoxing. The issue arises when our detox system isn't working as optimally as it should. That's when the right type of detox can do wonders for energy, hormonal balance and our gut and body in general.A detox, by design, should simply be an "oil change" for our body. The purpose: clean out the gunk so our body can do what God designed it to do naturally - detox 24/7. In today's episode, I share with you 1 ABSOLUTE WAY to recognize when a detox is simply a marketing ploy to take your money and sell you worthless junk. I also share with how to know when you are onto a good detox and what a hormone balancing detox should contain. We dive into questions like: Should I exercise while on a detox? What about my makeup? Does organic really mater? Why do I have to drink water and is it really that important? No caffeine? Why? Is it worth giving up my daily energy fix? What should I look for in a detox?If you would like to join us for our 10-Day Body Reset detox, click here.To Download the EWG App, click here.
In today's show, I reveal how I learned (the hard way, of course) how to mentally make it through the rough times.Exodus 14:14 says, "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest." Notice the word "hold." It's used as a verb here...meaning we have some work to do. God will fight for us, but while He is taking care of things for us, we have a job to do. Our job is to keep our peace and remain at rest.WOW! Just WOW! In the midst of uncertainty God wants us to rest...how on earth do we do that while surrounded by chaos, fear, doubt and the unknown?I said I was only going to give you 3 Tips to Mentally Make It, but I have a bonus 4th tip as well.

There are 2 types of people in this world - respectful people and disrespectful people. As you get to know and develop relationships with respectful people, you find they become more respectful and caring towards you. A deep, safe, secure bond develops withing the safety and security of respectful people.As you delve into relationships with disrespectful people, you find with time they only become more disrespectful and insistent on getting their way and squashing your feelings, needs and desires.Today's show is my heart's cry for ladies who are dating, or in a married relationship, with the second type of person - the disrespectful one. Today, I want to speak to you...I want to speak life and hope into you, I want to give you courage, I want to share with you resources God placed along the way that changed my life and has helped me to work through the chaos that surrounds relationships with disrespectful people. Women are my heart. God's women are my heart. I'm pretty sure God has allowed me to walk through these relationships because they break His heart too. He says every tear that is cried, hears every mean and derogatory word aimed to pierce your soul and knows every wound you bare. Run to Him. Trust Him. Follow Him. Serve and worship only Him. He will bring caring, nurturing and healthy people into your life to support you and help in your soul's healing.Resources from today:"Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man do not go, least you learn his ways and set a snare for your soul."
