Happy Satiated Saturday! Fitness culture has made body image recovery even more confusing. I've seen people year after year question if it is alright to want to lose weight, or lift weights, or increase muscle. What I like to return to is the intention behind these desires and how they feel in your body. Any intention approached from a place of self hate, of disrespecting the body, or pushing the body beyond what it can handle, compromising its health, is not a goal that will lead to nervous system regulation and bodily safety. First and foremost though, I believe in body autonomy and for you to choose for yourself what adventures you'd like to take with your body. What we typically need to explore is how to embark on those adventures that respects your body, takes care of your body, and supports your body along the way. In this week's episode, I chat with Kitty Blomfield, cofounder of NuStrength and Saturee, about: Balancing body goals and self worthBody acceptance and desires for fat lossEmpowerment through strength trainingNavigating body image across different life stagesApproaching nutrition with curiosity Finding your Goldilocks spot with foodYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/building-muscle-self-worth-and-body-confidenceThere is one more month until the Befriending Your Body Image Challenges Workshop happening on Wednesday, August 27th at 5:00 pm ET.

I had a huge response on Instagram when I shared the best information I've ever heard when it comes to why protein is such an important macro nutrient. For that reason, I thought I'd share it with you again in case you missed it first time around.Right now, you can't move for protein printed across most food packaging. Even chocolate bars have got in on the action, producing ‘high protein' varieties of their sweet snacks to try to sell them as a key component of a healthy, balanced diet. How can this be junk food when it contains protein?What's the truth? In 2021 I interviewed Dr Gabrielle Lyon, a double-board certified family physician trained in geriatric nutritional sciences who focuses on skeletal muscle to support longevity. It was her work with geriatric patients that highlighted the importance of maintaining lean muscle in order to live well into older age and to avoid a plethora of health issues.The fact this conversations pre-dates the obsession with protein adds, I think, real value to Gabrielle's expertise because it was long before every ‘health expert' was talking about protein on podcasts. This conversation actually fundamentally changed how I eat and, since we spoke, I've been focusing on a high protein diet for all the reasons she describes during this conversation - not least to get lean while building muscle.

most women think they need to eat less and do more to get lean.but what if the thing you're chasing — that lean, strong, defined look — actually requires more food, heavier lifting, and a different version of progress tracking than what you've been taught?in this episode, i sit down with brandon smith to unpack the difference between what women think they need to do vs. what actually gets them results they can see and feel.we break down:• why the scale going up can be a sign you're on the right track• what “toning” actually looks like with food and training + what it really takes to build shape beyond the initial couple months • how your training might be keeping you in maintenance (not transformation) • why building muscle often feels like fat gain — and how to handle it (+ what to focus on so you make sure its muscle)• the emotional wins you're overlooking that signal real change6 HUGE tracks for you to get started on: how to rewire the way you define progress (so you stop sabotaging it)what to track instead of obsessing over your weighthow to know if you're actually progressing (or just maintaining)what emotional growth looks like, and why it's just as important as physicalwhy progress isn't always scale-based—but it is always effort-basedthe real difference between looking strong… and being strongthis is for every woman who's done the deficit, followed the plan, and still felt like her body didn't match her effort.and if that's you? you're not broken. you've just been trained to look in the wrong places.want to come on and share your own story or struggles?i'd love to hear it.find me @transformxruby on instagramask podcast questions: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczwoVPaIPvsLDkqjnkvFy2MjCG2vwYj7u9Uq3bJLMTiS-q8w/viewform?usp=sf_linkapply for a free consult: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkdirect link to DM me on IG: https://ig.me/m/transformxrubyBRANDON: https://tfgu.net/
Are you tired of eating less and moving more, only to see no real results? What if the key to lasting fat loss wasn't harder work, but smarter strategy?In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Joe Hoye, a sought-after coach known for his bold, backwards approach to health. With a background in the medical field and a track record of helping women over 40 rebuild their metabolism and break free from diet culture, Joe shares how eating more, exercising less, and prioritizing recovery can completely transform your body—and your mindset.This conversation is compelling for women in midlife who feel stuck in a cycle of restriction and frustration. Joe breaks down why fat loss (not weight loss), building muscle, and mindset matter more than the number on the scale. From simplifying nutrition and supplements to balancing workouts with rest and recovery, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently—and finally feel good doing it.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (02:24) The focus of Diet Detox simplifies nutrition and fitness: eat more and exercise less(06:30) Joe's journey began at 13, inspired by his mother, leading to a focus on helping women over 40(16:31) Eat less, move more is not effective for health. Focus on fat loss, not weight loss(20:12) Exercise without recovery is detrimental, discussion of 3 days/week resistance training and compound movements(28:46) Nutrition choices that follow a healthy weight loss plan for fat loss. Calories, protein, and carbs (31:25) Joe talks about supplements and the most critical elements to focus on(36:52) Stress managementKEY TAKEAWAYS:Fat loss is about balance, not extremes—sustainable results come from eating enough, exercising smart, and prioritizing recovery over overtraining.Muscle is the key to metabolism—building and maintaining muscle supports fat loss, boosts energy, and improves long-term health, especially for women over 40.Nutrition and mindset drive transformation—focusing on protein, recovery, and identity shifts empowers women (especially moms) to create lasting change that ripples through families and communities.QUOTES: (03:39) “We might not see the ideal results in the first few weeks, but over time we can get there.” Jenn Trepeck(15:46) “When we change a mom's life, we change the lives, not just of an entire family, but of an entire community. - Jenn Trepeck(16:33) “We have to understand that muscle is everything when it comes to our metabolism. And our metabolism is everything when it comes to weight loss.” - Joe Hoye(30:30) “If you're having trouble sleeping, the best thing that you can take for sleep is a complex carbohydrate before bed: oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice, something like that. Don't knock it before you try it. And then, tell me how well you slept, because I guarantee you it's better.” Joe Hoye(31:11) “It's pairing everything together. It's thinking about things in terms of their purpose, and we are talking about whole, actual food.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramSupercharge Recovery From Surgery and More GUEST RESOURCES:$1 Diet Detox - WebsiteJoe Hoye - InstagramJoe Hoye - FacebookThe Diet Rebellion - PodcastEp. 27: Jenn Trepeck - Breaking the Diet Cycle: Why It's Not What You Eat, But How You EatGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Most coaches tell women to eat less and move more—Joe Hoye does the opposite.

What if the obesity epidemic isn't actually the problem we should be solving? In this groundbreaking Season 4 premiere of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily reunites with her longtime friend Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, muscle-centric medicine pioneer, NY Times bestselling author, and the leading voice bridging conventional and functional medicine, to reveal why building muscle might be the most underrated key to longevity, health, and even manifestation. Dr. Lyon breaks down her revolutionary approach that's turning traditional health paradigms upside down: instead of focusing on losing weight, we should be building ourselves up. She shares brand new research (hot off the press!) on the surprising link between muscle mass and sexual function, plus why the fat inside your muscles matters more than your overall body fat percentage.

In this episode, I'm diving into 2 questions submitted by listeners. First up: is your metabolism actually slowing down when you hit a plateau during a diet? I'm breaking down what metabolic adaptation really is, how fast it kicks in, what signs to watch for, and how to work with your body—not against it. Then we're tackling strength training with limited equipment: Can you really build muscle using just dumbbells? Spoiler: yes… but there's a catch. I'll walk you through how to keep progressing with what you've got, when it might be time to upgrade your setup, and why adding equipment isn't essential—but will take your gains to the next level. Whether you're trying to lose fat, build muscle, or just feel stronger in your body, this episode is packed with honest, actionable advice you can actually use.
