She's not only preparing herself for another IRONMAN 70.3 finish but is also coaching two scholarship athletes, helping them train and participate in what could be a life-changing event. It's rare to have someone who's equally devoted to the sport and to guiding others, especially at such a significant local event.   We sit down with Jennifer to dive into what it takes to train for an Ironman and endurance races, and where to start if you are a beginner.

Staying lean isn't about overhauling your entire lifestyle overnight. it's about stacking small, sustainable habits that actually stick. In this episode, we dive into the everyday choices that make the biggest difference when it comes to feeling strong, energetic, and confident year-round. We start by talking about why highly satiating foods are your best friend (especially during those times when hunger seems dialed up) and how minimizing calorie-dense “extras” can keep you feeling satisfied without the crash. From there, we break down the power of a “something over nothing” mentality when it comes to resistance training because it's not about perfection, it's about consistency. You'll also hear why making physical activity a lifestyle is key. Omar shares how Spartan races with his family keep him motivated, I talk about my time riding horses, and we both agree that nothing beats a simple walk. We also unpack the sneaky calories that come from what we drink, why sleep is the real performance enhancer, and how patience and consistency are often the missing ingredients in most fitness journeys. Most importantly, we'll remind you not to obsess over the scale or occasional feelings of heaviness. Progress is much deeper than a number. And when it comes to food, just because it's free doesn't mean you have to eat it. The goal is to choose intentionally, not impulsively. If you've been searching for a realistic, non-extreme approach to staying lean, this episode will give you practical tools and a mindset shift that can last a lifetime. Time Stamps: (1:17) Omar's High and Low This Week(4:17) Ultramarathon Runner's Perspective(6:17) Fresh Spin On An Old Topic(7:08) Small Habits For Staying Lean(9:30) #1: Choose Highly Satiating Foods(13:27) #2: Resistance Train: Something Over Nothing Mentality(15:22) #3: Make Physical Activity A Lifestyle(17:45) #4: Don't Drink Our Calories(19:44) #5: Prioritize Sleep(20:28) #6: Practice Consistency and Patience(21:27) #7: Don't Obsess Over The Scale or Occasional Feelings of Heaviness(23:04) #8: Free Doesn't Mean You Need to Eat It---------------------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?

If you've ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren't random; they're your body's way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance.  Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we'll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on different schedules. If one department has a problem, the alarm goes off at that time. By tracking your wake-up patterns, you can start to see the clues your body is leaving. We'll dive into the most common causes, from blood sugar dips and cortisol spikes, to low progesterone, high histamine, and even liver overload. You'll hear simple analogies like your brain's “glass of wine” being empty without progesterone, or your liver as the night shift cleaner making noise when it's overloaded that make these complex concepts easy to understand. We'll also cover lifestyle factors like blue light, meal timing, hydration, and circadian rhythm, because sometimes the simplest tweaks make the biggest difference.  By the end, you'll know how to decode your body's signals, track what's really happening, and take small, sustainable steps toward better sleep. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. This episode will help you finally understand the messages and reclaim deep, restorative rest.  Time Stamps:  (1:25) Upcoming Retreat (3:22) Why Do I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night? (5:50) Timing Of When You're Waking Up At Night (8:47) 1 to 3 AM and The Liver (9:32) Dryer Lint Talk (11:09) Common Causes of Waking Up (15:17) Cortisol and Blood Sugar (18:05) Low Progesterone (23:54) Dehydration (26:50) Gut Imbalances (29:39) Lifestyle Factors (32:41) First Steps---------------------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?

Being obedient to Christ and going against some of natural human wants and needs can be difficult at times. Espeically, especially if you are on the right path with this and start feeling your worth and value through Christ and the enemy sees it, he knows? shewww girl we then got a target on our back for some stupid enemy schemes and mind games coming our way. Doing what's right isn't always butterflies and rainbows. Doing what's right doesn't necessarily always FEEL good. It isn't always convenient. Its not always comfortable. But it's always going to be used for HIS glory. He always has a plan for us. He always sees the beauty before we do in the outcomes. & that goes right along with our fitness journeys too! 

If I could go back and start my fitness journey all over again? I'd do a lot less spinning my wheels, and a lot more of what actually works.In this Q&A episode, I'm breaking down exactly what I'd do differently if I were starting from scratch today. No fake motivation. No shiny routines. Just the five shifts that would've saved me years of burnout, frustration, and wasted energy.We're talking about why lifting weights (intentionally, not endlessly) would be my day one move, why soreness and sweat mean less than you think, and how protein and walking changed everything for me, but not in the way Instagram makes it seem.I'm also getting into the habits I used to skip that now feel non-negotiable and why I wish I'd stopped treating under-eating like a flex.If you're in your start-over era, or just tired of doing the most and feeling the least, this one's for you.What's Discussed:  (00:00) If I could start my fitness journey over…(05:08) Why strength training would be my day one(08:03) The truth about soreness and sweat(13:56) How under-eating held me back(17:33) Walking for recovery, not just rings(20:11) The warm-up I used to skip (and now swear by)(24:14) You don't need more, you need the right thingsThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

Ever feel like your cravings (or impulses) have control over you?In this episode, we're breaking down a simple but powerful process to take back your power without relying on willpower alone. You'll learn how to pause in the moment, understand why the urge is there, and see it for what it really is (hint: you won't explode if you don't give in).  I'll walk you through how to write down the urge, your perceived reasons for acting on it, and then uncover the true cost of giving in. From there, we'll make a decision from a slower, clearer place rather than from that instant “must do it now” energy. I'll also share a personal example of how I've experienced this urge loop in my work life, and how simply planning when I'll handle something helps my brain relax. We'll talk about why saying “no” often makes the urge stronger at first and how to ride it like a wave instead of letting it sweep you away.  Think of it like handling an angry toddler's tantrum: it feels intense, but it passes.  By the end, you'll have a repeatable framework for handling cravings, emotional eating triggers, or even those distracting work pings that derail your focus. This is your guide to breaking the cycle and building self-trust one urge at a time. Time Stamps: (2:20) Guilt and Cravings (3:54) Imagine This Scenario (6:30) Urge on Answering A Message Example (11:50) Everything Is A Tradeoff (15:10) Building The Self Trust Muscle---------------------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?

I share my supplement thoughts post–birth control, why broad advice often backfires without proper bloodwork, and how our FLUSH protocol helps set a strong foundation for healing.  We also discuss what most women get wrong before coming to Vital Spark and whether a DUTCH test is worth it while still on hormonal contraception. From there, we get personal: what I would tell my past self, how we're thinking about family 20 years down the line, and even some of my non-profit aspirations for the future.  Finally, I break down the first steps to take when you're bloated, fatigued, and don't know where to start so you can stop spinning your wheels and start feeling like yourself again. This one is packed with both strategy and soul. Whether you're here for the hormone hacks, the mindset shifts, or just a little encouragement for your own journey, you'll leave with clarity and practical next steps to move forward with confidence. Time Stamps: (1:32) Curly or Straight Hair? (3:27) Top Supplements After Getting Off Birth Control (11:22) Bloodwork Over Broad Recommendations (12:50) FLUSH Protocol (16:21) What Most Women Are Doing Wrong Before Coming to Vital Spark (19:37) DUTCH Test on Birth Control? (22:50) What Vanessa Would Tell Her Past Self (26:28) 20 Years Later and Future Family (30:02) Non-Profit Future Aspirations (33:02) What To Prioritize When Bloating---------------------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?

This week, I chat with fitness coach Nolan Vannata about the growing health and obesity crisis in America. We explore how the modern food environment, from chemical-laced ultra-processed foods to fear-mongering around fruit, is fuelling confusion and poor health outcomes. Nolan breaks down key mindset shifts for long-term success, the common traps beginners fall into, and why so many people tie their identity to their diet.

Hey beautiful human, today we're talking about something I think a lot of women are feeling right now, even if they haven't quite put it into words yet: mindful movement. I want to explore what it can actually look like when we apply it to fitness. And why softness doesn't mean weakness—and how honoring your body doesn't mean giving up on your goals.   What I discuss:   Five ways to embrace softer, more intentional movement without losing progress A better understanding of what “softness” in fitness actually looks like Tips for balancing structure with grace, discipline with flexibility Permission to pursue your goals without hustle culture energy And ideas for building a routine that truly supports your whole self—mind, body, and heart   Also, if you loved this episode, you'll also love Episode 413: The Importance of a Rest Day: Don't Let Overexercising Ruin Your Progress.  If you want more from me, be sure to check out…  Follow me on Instagram: @juliealedbetter | @embraceyourreal | @movementwithjulie Movement With Julie | App: https://sale.movementwithjulie.com/ Macro Counting Made Simple Online Academy: https://www.macrocountingmadesimple.com/ Website: www.juliealedbetter.com

You've been doing “all the right things” for a few weeks. Eating better, moving your body but the scale hasn't budged. Sound familiar? That's not failure.  That's normal. In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable truth: healing and real transformation take time, often much longer than we want. You'll hear why quick fixes and crash diets set you up for disappointment, and why slow, steady progress is the only path to sustainable change.  We'll talk about prepping your body before weight loss even begins, what to expect when you start eating more, and why discomfort (yes, including hunger and resistance) is part of the journey. I also share what it took for me to transform over two years and why I still don't believe in a “finish line.”  If you're frustrated with your progress or tempted to give up after a few weeks, this episode will reframe everything. Healing is possible. It just doesn't happen overnight. Time Stamps: (1:17) A Little Sickness In The Pozos Household (3:42) My Healing Journey (5:20) Stock Market Analogy (11:47) The Continuous Process (16:17) Discomfort Is a Feeling (19:22) So Much To Learn Still (20:54) There's No Finish Line---------------------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?

Hey hey, beautiful human! If you've ever felt judged, misunderstood, or even a little bit discouraged by other people's opinions about your fitness goals… this episode is for you. We're diving into a mindset shift that's helped me so much, especially when people don't get why I pack my meals, prioritize my workouts, or count my macros. It's based on Mel Robbins' “Let Them” theory, and trust me, it's a total game-changer. What I discuss: Why you don't need to explain your fitness goals to anyone How to stay consistent when others around you aren't Why their judgment says more about them than it does about you Three mindset shifts to stay focused, confident, and committed This episode is your permission slip to stop seeking approval, protect your energy, and keep building the body you want, no matter what others say. Let them talk. You? You keep showing up. If you loved this episode, you'll also love Episode 523: Choosing Yourself: What It Really Means and Why It's Time to Start.

You'll learn how your gut bacteria influence your cravings, blood sugar, and even your metabolism through short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.  I'll explain why hidden gut inflammation can block fat loss and how slow digestion (aka not pooping daily) recirculates estrogen and toxins, stalling your progress. We'll also dive into how bad bacteria can steal essential nutrients you need for fat-burning, how gut health affects your thyroid function, and why your gut impacts not just your body, but your brain chemistry and motivation too.  Plus, I'll explain why detoxing estrogen properly is key to shedding stubborn fat and how even the “perfect” diet won't work if your gut can't break down food and eliminate waste. This episode will help you see why your gut is the foundation of sustainable weight loss and why it's not just about willpower or cutting calories.  If you're feeling stuck, testing your gut might be the missing link to get your body working with you again. Time Stamps: (2:52) Talking Gut Health (6:02) #1: You Can't Lose Weight in Survival Mode (8:22) #2: Your Gut Bugs Influence Your Cravings (13:08) #3: Gut Bacteria Talk to Your Metabolism (14:52) #4: Hidden inflammation = Blocked Fat Loss (17:12) #5: If You're Not Pooping Daily, Weight Loss Will Stall (19:47) #6: “Bad bugs” Steal Your Nutrients (21:32) #7: Your Gut Affects Your Thyroid (24:20) #8: Gut Health = Brain Chemistry = Motivation (27:22) #9: Detox Matters Especially For Estrogen (29:52) #10: Your Gut Makes or Breaks Your Ability to Respond to Nutrition---------------------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?

Jon's Fitness Journey - July Check-inIn this honest conversation, Jon and Will break down what it really takes to transform, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.Jon opens up about his journey over the past six months: the hard-earned muscle, the silent progress of visceral fat loss, and the surprising data from his latest DEXA scan. But this episode isn't about hitting numbers. It's about what those numbers reveal — and what they hide.Topics include:Why Jon's “heavier” now… but healthierThe critical difference between weight loss and fat lossHow body composition scans changed Jon's approach to fitnessThe role of discipline, identity, and emotional honesty in real transformationWhy fitness goals should be about freedom, not punishmentWhether you're trying to get lean, get healthy, or just get back in the fight — this episode is a reminder that the real journey starts when you stop chasing quick fixes… and start owning your story.

If your body feels like it's stuck in stress mode no matter how “healthy” you try to be, your mindset might be the missing piece.  In this episode, we're breaking down four common mental blocks that keep your hormones out of balance… and simple mindset shifts that can help you finally feel more at home in your body. We'll talk about how perfectionist thinking can actually keep your nervous system on edge and how focusing on small daily habits (à la James Clear's 1-degree plane shift) can create long-term change without burnout.Next up: guilt and shame. I'll share the stonecutter analogy that helps you swap shame for pride and consistency.We'll also explore how body frustration can morph into powerful gratitude when you zoom out including a powerful reframe I picked up from Alex Hormozi.And if you've ever felt like a single slip-up ruins your progress, you'll love the final mindset swap: learning to see those moments as tune-ups, not setbacks. Something I've had to lean into recently myself. These mindset upgrades aren't just motivational fluff. They lower stress, regulate your nervous system, and support better hormone balance over time.Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started, these small mental shifts can make a big physical difference! Time Stamps: (1:22) Excited For Festive Food(3:10) Stress Management and Healing Hormones(5:16) Instant Gratification(6:45) #1: Perfectionistic Tendencies(10:52) #2: Guilt and Shame(15:32) #3: Feeling Stress About Your Body(21:47) #4: Seeing Slip-Ups As Setbacks---------------------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?
