In this fascinating episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal why willpower is not a fixed personality trait but a biological state shaped by your morning cortisol response, circadian rhythm, and light exposure — and how understanding this changes everything about your fasting consistency. They break down the science behind why so many fasters cruise through the day only to find themselves standing in the pantry at night, and why the fix starts in the first 60 minutes after waking. The hosts walk through practical morning anchors — consistent wake times, outdoor morning light, early low-intensity movement, delayed caffeine, and protein-forward earlier meals — that prime the brain's decision-making center to stay strong when ghrelin peaks and temptation hits later in the day. They also tackle the evening danger zone, explaining how blue light exposure quietly shifts your risk-reward thinking and erodes the prefrontal control you built all day, making light discipline and a closed kitchen ritual non-negotiable tools for fasting success. This week's challenge is simple: pick one morning lever and one evening guardrail, stack them consistently, and watch how much easier it becomes to close your fasting window and wake up with a win. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Still tired in midlife… even when you're trying to eat healthy? In this episode of the Hello Hormones series on Fit & Fueled by Faith, I'm sharing what I personally eat in midlife to support energy, hormones, strength, and overall wellness. Because what worked in our 20s and 30s often stops working in midlife and many women are left feeling exhausted, frustrated, and confused about what their body actually needs now. In this episode, we talk about: • Why nutrition changes in midlife • The importance of protein for women over 40 • Balancing blood sugar and energy • My pescatarian, Mediterranean-inspired approach • Simple ways to nourish your body without restriction This isn't about perfection. It's about learning to support your body with wisdom and grace.

In this episode, Mike is joined by Jillian Harbarcuk, owner of Fueled Health to make a major announcement about the future of POP. This is exciting news for anyone who is looking to improve their health, body composition, and overall fitness with a personalized, root-cause approach.

In this episode, Vanessa Spina interviews Dr. Hans H. Stein, Professor of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, about protein quality, amino acid digestibility, and why "grams of protein" on a label do not always reflect what the body can actually use.

Do you really need to go low carb and skip meals to finally see the scale move? On today's episode, I'm answering a question from a listener named Michelle who is questioning her approach to weight loss after watching family members lose weight incredibly fast on the carnivore diet while eating just one meal a day. When you're working hard to lose one pound a week and someone else is dropping ten… gosh it's hard not to wonder if you're missing something. In this episode, I break down what is really happening when the scale drops that quickly, why fast weight loss is not always what it seems, and whether low carb eating, the keto diet, and fasting are actually required to lose body fat. We'll talk about the carnivore diet, the truth about ketosis, and the biggest mistake women make when they assume faster weight loss automatically means better results.

What if the reason tracking macros isn't working anymore has nothing to do with your discipline? In this episode, I break down one of the most common frustrations I hear from women: "I used to track macros, lose weight, and see results. Now I do the exact same thing and nothing happens.".  I want to share the story of how I once believed macros were the magic solution to fat loss, only to realize they were never the answer. They were simply a tool. We'll talk about why there is no perfect macro split, how the body constantly adapts to what we do, and why staying on the same nutrition plan for months or years can actually become part of the problem. I explain how functional nutrition often involves strategically changing calories, carbohydrates, fats, and protein to stay ahead of those adaptations rather than fighting against them. You'll learn why there may be a time for low-carb eating, a time for higher calories, a time for lower protein, and a time for a more balanced approach. Most importantly, we'll discuss how understanding macros can still be incredibly valuable when they're used within the right context. Today, I personally track my macros, not to lose weight, but to make sure I'm eating enough and maintaining the right balance for my current season of life.  If you've been wondering why your old nutrition strategy isn't producing the same results anymore, this episode will help you understand what changed and how to start working with your body instead of against it.   Time Stamps:   (1:47) Life Updates (3:06) My Macro Tracking Journey (4:47) Why Macro Tracking Gets A Bad Rap (8:22) Recent Client Example (12:32) Where To Start --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Have you ever wondered why one trip, one bad week, or one schedule disruption can throw you off track for an entire month? You start strong, you're feeling great, and then... life happens. Suddenly you're back at square one, wondering what's wrong with you. Here's a little secret: nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, I'm sharing a story about a client who recently traveled out of the country, completely out of her routine, and bounced back in days instead of weeks. I asked her what was different this time, and her answer surprised me. We're talking all about consistency for moms today, and why it has way less to do with willpower than you've been told. If you've ever felt like you're the only one who can't seem to stick with anything, even when you do everything "right," this episode is for you. I'm also sharing a parenting story that has nothing to do with fitness on the surface, but it taught me more about consistency in a way I haven't thought about it before. Plus, I'll leave you with one simple action item you can try this week, no apps, no new programs, no Tupperware required. If you're tired of starting over and ready for something different, you're going to want to hear this one. -Rachel Next Steps: Free 100-Gram Protein Cheat Sheet  Book a Free Discovery Call to learn about the Fat Loss Formula Coaching Program

The diet world just picked another champion. This time it's intermittent fasting. The case for it is real, and so is the 38% dropout rate. This episode looks at what the data shows about both approaches, what the neuroscience says about where sustainable fat loss lives, and what question every protocol conversation is actually trying to ask. In This Episode: 1. The debate is a setup. Comparing protocols means staying inside the diet industry's frame. The tool isn't the problem. The relationship underneath it is. 2. Intermittent fasting works for one reason: total calorie reduction. Clinical trials confirm real results and a 38% dropout rate, higher than participants who cut calories with no time-based structure at all.3. The body reads a fasting window as a starvation signal. Cortisol rises. Ghrelin surges. When the eating window opens on a system flooded with hunger chemistry, control doesn't just get harder. Biology takes over. The body is running exactly the software it was designed to run. 4. Years of restriction damage the one skill mindful eating depends on. Interoception: the ability to feel hunger and fullness accurately. Every rule followed in place of an internal signal trains us further from our own bodies. Mindful eating's job is to recalibrate the compass that dieting broke. 5. The neuroscience is direct. Mindful eating doesn't manage cravings from above. It changes the wiring below. Neuroimaging shows it physically quiets the brain's reward pathway and strengthens the circuits where deliberate choice lives. The food noise gets quieter because the brain has changed its response to the signal. 6. Every conversation about fat loss eventually arrives at the same question. Not which protocol to follow. Who do you want to be in relationship with food? The thermostat is always an identity question. Mindful eating works at that level. Everything else reaches around it. Ready to go deeper? If this one landed, the next step isn't another protocol. It's a different target entirely. Escape the Willpower Trap is where we do this work, changing the relationship with food, not the meal schedule. The quiet mind is waiting. The door is open: https://news.weightlossmindset.co/subscribe

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon doesn't think we're over fat. We're under muscled. Skeletal muscle isn't just for lifting. It's your metabolic currency. Your body dispatches glucose through it, burns fat in it, and leans on it when illness or injury strike. The markers everyone defaults to, BMI and body fat percentage, are measuring the wrong thing entirely. More muscle doesn't automatically mean healthier muscle. Dr. Lyon explains the difference, and what actually matters.

Welcome back to our Summer Fat Loss Series, where I'm helping you get into the best shape this summer without giving up your social life or favorite foods. The final episode of this series is all about what you should actually be eating to lose fat and tone up. There's so much nutrition advice online telling women to focus on specific foods, supplements, hacks, and trends. But if you're not focusing on the things that actually drive fat loss and body recomposition, you likely won't see the results you're looking for. That's why in today's episode, I'm breaking down the three most important nutrition principles every woman should focus on if she wants to lose fat, build lean muscle, and transform her body this summer. We'll talk about the biggest mistake I see women make when trying to eat healthier, the nutrition targets that actually matter most, and how to simplify your approach so you can stop overthinking every food choice. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what to prioritize in your diet to support fat loss and body recomposition this summer. Most importantly, you'll walk away with a simpler, more realistic approach to eating that helps you get results without feeling restricted, overwhelmed, or obsessed with food.

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering some of the fitness questions you have sent in recently, and we are covering a lot of the things that tend to make women overthink their progress.We talk about protein and whether it's possible to eat too much, how to find a fat loss calorie goal that actually works for you, and what to do if tracking macros brings out your perfectionist side. I also break down whether you need special shoes for lifting, if compound lifts are enough to build muscle, and how I became more comfortable lifting heavy weights over time.We also get into deload weeks…what they are, when to use them, and why backing off can actually help you keep making progress. And of course, we talk about cravings, willpower, mindset, and why white-knuckling your way through fitness is not the goal.This episode is practical, honest, and full of reminders that fitness does not have to be so all-or-nothing. You do not need to be perfect with your macros, scared of eating more protein, or intimidated by the gym. You need a plan, realistic expectations, and the confidence to keep showing up.Episode Recap:Protein goals and whether you can eat too muchPerfectionism with macrosFinding your fat loss caloriesShoes for liftingCompound lifts vs. isolation movementsDeload weeksBuilding confidence with heavy weightsCravings, willpower, and mindsetLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

We'll cover how often you actually need to work out to see results, the biggest misconceptions women have about exercise and fat loss, and how to structure your workouts in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

If you've ever trained hard, eaten clean, and still felt bloated, tight, or disconnected from your own body, this episode is for you. CEO Amanda Tress sits down with Dr. Shalini Bhat, chiropractor, gut health expert, and founder of The Movement Boutique in Ontario, Canada, to unpack the surprising connection between your fascia, your gut, and why your glutes might be completely offline — no matter how many squats you do. Dr. Shalini shares how she grew up surrounded by whole-food, root-cause wellness — from her father's organic farm in India to her grandmother's herbal remedies — and how that foundation shaped her signature approach: healing guts and toning butts. You'll learn what fascia actually is, why a tight hip flexor could be the real reason your lower back aches and your glutes won't fire, and how something as simple as the way you breathe is either flattening or bloating your stomach. You'll learn: What fascia really is and why it's now recognized as an organ Why your glutes go "offline" and how to bring them back The S breath technique for deep core engagement and a flatter stomach Why snacking and eating too fast are quietly wrecking your gut health How the bottom of your foot connects to your hamstrings and what to do about it Whether you're a FASTer Way client chasing body composition results or a coach helping women heal from the inside out, this episode is a masterclass in how the body actually works — all connected, all fascial, all fixable.

Everyone wants to know how "bounce back" after having a baby. The truth is, that's not the goal. In this episode, I'm sharing my postpartum fitness plan and the approach I'll be taking during those first weeks and months after birth. Instead of jumping straight into workouts, fat loss, or trying to get my body back as quickly as possible, I'll be prioritizing recovery, sleep, healing, and listening to what my body actually needs. I'll walk you through what my first few weeks postpartum may look like, including why I plan to spend most of the first week resting, when I might begin incorporating light walks and mobility work, and how I'll use my body's feedback, not a rigid timeline, to guide the process. We'll also talk about why pelvic floor health is at the center of my recovery plan and why I believe every woman should consider working with a pelvic floor physical therapist before problems arise, not just after. I'll share why I won't be rushing back into intense cardio, despite the pressure many women feel to lose baby weight as quickly as possible. We'll also discuss the truth about waist trainers, why external support can actually delay core recovery, and what a healthier approach to rebuilding strength looks like. Most importantly, I'm talking about something I think every new mom struggles with: comparison. Because no two postpartum journeys are the same, and comparing your recovery, body, or timeline to someone else's is one of the fastest ways to create unnecessary stress and frustration. If you're pregnant, postpartum, or simply curious about a more sustainable approach to recovery after birth, this episode will give you an honest look at how I'm thinking about this next chapter and why slower may actually be the smarter path forward.   Time Stamps:   (2:11) My Postpartum Fitness Plan (3:22) The Mental Side (9:19) Getting Your Body “Back” (11:20) Comparison In Postpartum (13:32) Sharing The Postpartum Journey --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

What if the real reason you're struggling with belly fat, low energy, cravings, inflammation, and weight gain after 50 isn't a lack of willpower—but a metabolic problem hiding beneath the surface? In this episode of Fat Loss School, I'm bringing you another Book Report and breaking down one of the most important health books I've read: Why We Get Sick by Dr. Benjamin Bikman. Don't worry—I did the science reading so you don't have to! Dr. Bikman argues that insulin resistance is at the root of many of today's most common chronic health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's disease, infertility, and more. The good news? Insulin resistance is not a life sentence. In this episode, I'll translate the science into simple, practical takeaways specifically for women over 50 who want to lose fat, gain energy, preserve muscle, and improve their long-term health. In This Episode You'll Learn: ✔️ What insulin actually does in the body ✔️ What insulin resistance is and why it matters ✔️ Why belly fat and insulin resistance often go hand-in-hand ✔️ The surprising connection between insulin resistance and chronic disease ✔️ The simple lifestyle habits that help reverse insulin resistance ✔️ My biggest takeaways from Dr. Bikman's research If you're ready to improve insulin sensitivity, lose body fat, build lean muscle, and create healthy habits that actually fit real life, I'd love to coach you inside FASTer Way to Fat Loss® for women 50+.

In this episode the guys break down how to eat carbs for muscle gains and fat loss — why they're not essential but are beneficial, how to figure out if you do better higher carb or lower fat, timing carbs around workouts, choosing easy-digesting sources, and why drinking carbs is almost always a mistake. They also get into a deep dive on PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra/Cialis) and the emerging data showing 30–40% reduction in all-cause cardiovascular mortality, potential neuroprotective and anti-cancer effects, and why Sal thinks they'll be recommended to most men over 40 within a decade. Plus: side bends as a highly underrated QL exercise, the Guy Ritchie movie "In the Gray," Sal's son's gem hustle, Adam's commercial-grade mosquito killer, Google releasing 32 million lab-bred mosquitoes into California, pirates and their eye patches, cauliflower ear plastic surgery in Russia, and giant tree spiders in Malaysia. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Jesse from Florida on reverse dieting after a bad coach left her overtrained and underfed, Augie from Alabama on combining MAPS PPL with running for fall race prep, Kaylene from New York on sobriety from THC and getting comfortable bulking, and Vanessa from the UK on building her glutes while letting go of the step and scale obsession.

Welcome back to our Summer Fat Loss Series, where I'm helping you get into the best shape this summer without giving up your social life or favorite foods. Episode 4 is all about alcohol and happy hour because while there's nothing wrong with enjoying a cocktail on a patio or a margarita on vacation, alcohol can quickly become one of the biggest things holding you back from your fat loss goals if you're not mindful about it. In today's episode, I'm sharing five practical tips for navigating alcohol this summer if you want to lose fat while still enjoying an Aperol Spritz on a hot summer patio. We're talking about the simple rules I personally follow (when I'm not pregnant!), the drink choices that make the biggest difference from a calorie perspective, and how to decide when a drink is actually worth it versus when it's just adding calories without adding much enjoyment. By the end of this episode, you'll know how to enjoy the occasional cocktail without feeling like it's sabotaging your results. More importantly, you'll learn how to approach alcohol intentionally so you can make progress toward your goals while still enjoying summer to the fullest.
