Physique Development Podcast

Diet culture has taught us that eating less is always the answer—but what happens when your coach tells you to eat MORE?That's exactly the conversation Coach Mia had with her client, Agness. Even when you think you're doing everything right, chronic under-eating can sabotage your progress. The constant message to "shrink your food to shrink your body" creates a cycle of over-restriction that works against your goals.In this episode, Mia shares how she helped Agness reach her goals by increasing her calories and teaching her to fuel her body without fear. Eating more might be the missing piece in your own health journey.If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - ⁠https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLEAs always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.

In this episode, we meet Alex's client, Jessica, who shares her remarkable transformation from her lowest point to sustainable success.We start by discussing her rock bottom moment before discovering coaching and how waiting for the "perfect time" was actually holding her back from making meaningful change.Jessica opens up about her experience working through the nerves and adapting to a new approach to nutrition while juggling the demands of three children and a hectic schedule—proving that lasting change is possible even in the busiest of lifestyles.She also details how she navigates periods of low motivation, establishes sustainable habits, and the crucial "aha" moments where she realized she had truly transformed. This isn't just about physical results but also the impact her journey has had on her relationships and mindset.We're diving into what it really takes to create lasting change in health, habits, and happiness!As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.

Coach Charlotte is back and this week she sits down to discuss why you SHOULDN'T—under any circumstance—be training fasted. Hot take? Stay with us. Despite its popularity, she makes a compelling case for why training on an empty stomach may actually be doing more harm than good. Training fasted inhibits muscle growth and there is actually data showing that this can lead to dropping lean mass first when in a caloric deficit. In this episode, Charlotte breaks down the advantages of fueling your workouts with a pre-workout meal and shares practical strategies to make it work even when training early in the morning. Your meal doesn't have to be extravagant, it just needs to be enough to fuel your session.

In this powerful episode, Alex and Sue dive deep into a game-changing perspective that few are talking about: the science of asking better questions. Have you ever felt like you're getting nowhere with your health goals? The problem might not be the answers, but the questions you're asking. If you're tired of getting vague, unsatisfying answers about your health—this episode is your wake-up call. Listen in as they break down why the quality of your questions directly impacts the quality of your results and why the vague, wishy-washy questions we typically ask are holding us back. This isn't your typical health advice episode—Sue and Alex share real, actionable strategies that will change the way you talk to your doctors, coaches, and most importantly, yourself. This episode will fundamentally change how you think about getting answers. Transformation starts with curiosity and, by listening in, you're taking the first step to unlocking a successful fitness journey.

We get it, taking time for yourself when there are a million things going on—you have kids or family members that need you, work is crazy, life is life-ing—can feel so selfish. But what if we told you that taking that time for yourself is actually one of the MOST PRODUCTIVE things you can do—that giving yourself the chance to recharge will actually allow you to show up BETTER for those who need you? That's exactly what Sue does in today's Fit Bit. She explains why taking care of yourself is NOT selfish, why you CAN'T push past 100% forever, and gives you tangible steps to start taking better care of yourself WITHOUT feeling guilty or overwhelmed. As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.
