This week, we did something I've never talked about publicly before: a 72-hour water fast! But before you picture weight loss gimmicks or punishment, let's set the record straight: this was a functional health experiment rooted in curiosity, not restriction.  Inspired by Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz, I timed this fast with my Power Phase (Days 1–10 of my cycle) to align with rising estrogen and maximize the benefits. In this episode, I walk you through the “why” behind this advanced strategy—deep cellular cleanup, gut healing, immune support, and a major mental clarity reset. We'll unpack the science of what happens at different fasting milestones and why this isn't something I recommend as a starter strategy for clients. You'll also learn how women should approach fasting differently than men, especially in relation to their cycles and hormone resilience. I'll share how I prepped, what I experienced physically and emotionally, and what this fast revealed about my relationship with hunger, discipline, and intuition. Spoiler: this wasn't easy, but it was powerful. Whether or not a long fast is right for you, my goal is to encourage deeper body awareness and smarter strategies; not extremes. Tune in to hear what surprised me most, how this ties into hormone health, and why syncing with your cycle might be the missing piece.  If you've ever felt confused about fasting, this episode will help you reframe it entirely. DM me your questions or share this episode with a friend who needs a fresh take on fasting.  Time Stamps:  (1:12) All The Positive Emotions(3:04) Defining The 72 Hour Fast(7:30) Starting The Water Fast(9:23) Favorite and Least Favorite Parts(16:32) Why We Did This(25:54) Feeling The Detox(28:48) Using Black Coffee(33:42) Let Us Know If You Have Questions---------------------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 improving your gut health didn't require expensive supplements, fancy tests, or endless trial and error? In today's episode, we dive into the often-overlooked lifestyle foundations that can significantly improve digestion, reduce bloating, and help you finally feel good after meals without needing a single lab result. We start with meal hygiene: how you eat is just as important as what you eat. Digestion begins in the brain, and simple changes like slowing down, turning off distractions, and chewing thoroughly can kickstart your gut's natural processes. You'll learn how stress and multitasking at meals divert blood flow away from the gut and how to set the stage for digestion by being present, cooking your own food, and even doing a quick breathing exercise. Next, we cover meal timing, and how aligning your eating habits with your body's natural rhythms can support the "housekeeping" system of your gut. You'll learn how a consistent eating schedule and small shifts like starting your day with warm lemon water can make a big impact. We also tackle what to eat specifically for constipation and diarrhea. From fiber types and fluid intake to soothing herbal teas and smart food swaps, you'll walk away with real strategies that work. Plus, we share our go-to cheat sheets for stool consistency and explain when it is time to use supplements or run labs. Even if supplements become part of your long-term plan (like they are for some of our clients), these lifestyle shifts are the groundwork for sustainable gut health.  Listen in and take the first step toward better digestion naturally.  Time Stamps: (3:32) GI Issue Call Recently (6:56) The Three Big Pillars of Gut Health (7:19) How You Eat and Meal Hygiene (13:47) Duration of Eating and Slowing Down (16:52) Drinking Too Much Water During Meals? (18:02) Deep Breaths Before Eating (18:57) Lowering The Intensity of Exercise (20:03) Meal Timing (22:24) My Preferred Tea Blend (24:57) What To Eat (26:40) Working Through Constipation (31:06) One Supplement We'll Discuss (37:57) Reach Out If You're Interested In 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?

Is the "just be consistent" advice getting old? By now, you've heard this advice at least a million times—from entrepreneurs, athletes, experts, coaches, and even humble newsletter writers. And they're all absolutely right. Consistency is the difference maker. The one common thread behind every major success story. But here's the problem: No one ever tells you how to be consistent—and let's be honest, it's easier said than done. Life gets chaotic. Motivation fades. Discipline wavers. Consistency breaks. Fortunately, I've spent hundreds of hours thinking about this exact problem—and I've distilled that thinking into a short list of practical strategies to help anyone become more consistent. In this episode, we are going to cover 7 practical strategies for staying consistent that aren't just a pass/fail perspective and actually make sense for pursuing the goals we want in our lives. Time Stamps: (1:18) Mama Pozos in Town (2:38) Consistency and Shoutout to Sahil Bloom (3:33) Main Points Of The Article (5:52) #1: Every Day Is Easier Than Most Days (8:02) #2: Fire In The Act, Grace In The Amount (12:02) #3: Mornings Are Your Cheat Code (14:47) #4: Harness The Power of Peer Accountability (18:52) #5: Use Progressive Overload To Build The Muscle (22:22) #6: Never Try To Make Up For A Miss (25:34) #7: Focus On The Trend, Not The Position (29:43) Managing Your Imperfections---------------------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 does it take to transform from a late-night gamer fueled by fast food to one of the fittest members at a CrossFit gym? Cody Burch joins us to reveal his remarkable six-year journey that's about much more than physical transformation.Cody candidly shares how he went from playing World of Warcraft until dawn to becoming an elite CrossFitter, despite having zero athletic background. "I was already fat," he laughs, reflecting on his pre-fitness days. "The fuck's a dad bod? I'm not going to already live that life." This refreshing perspective drives his commitment to health even as life has evolved dramatically around him.The conversation explores how Cody has maintained his fitness through significant life transitions—marriage, fatherhood, and career changes. While many use these milestones as excuses to let their health slide, Cody doubled down on his commitment, recently completing a half marathon in 1:41 with minimal training. His secret? Consistency in CrossFit training that prepared him for challenges far beyond the gym walls.We dive deep into the mental aspects of training, including how Cody has shifted from high-volume "junk training" to more intentional, quality workouts. "I'm arguably the fittest, most well-rounded athlete and human I've ever been," he shares, despite training less than during his coaching days. This wisdom about recovery, sleep optimization, and the negative impacts of alcohol provides practical insights for listeners at any fitness level.The most powerful takeaway might be how fitness principles translate to success in other life areas. As Cody puts it, "Good things take time... to build something successful, it's not just going to happen randomly." His journey proves that consistency—showing up daily for just one hour—can transform not just your body, but your entire approach to life's challenges.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/

In this episode of The Dissidents Podcast, Jennifer Richmond and Nafees Alam dive into an engaging conversation on the intersections of fitness, mental health, faith, and societal challenges. Beginning with personal stories of their fitness journeys, they explore how physical well-being impacts mental clarity, self-awareness, and day-to-day productivity. Drawing on new scientific insights into gender-specific fitness practices, Jennifer reflects on her own realizations about training and physiology, while Nafees shares his perspective on how fitness builds resilience and fosters intellectual growth.The discussion expands to broader societal topics, including the role of biology in shaping conversations around gender, trans inclusion in sports, and the implications for fairness and personal identity. With compassion and curiosity, they navigate the complexities of these issues while offering potential solutions, such as the idea of separating sports leagues into "female" and "women's" categories. They also explore the critical role of diet and exercise in addressing mental health concerns, with a focus on long-term habits and scientific research.Through humor, humility, and thought-provoking dialogue, Jennifer and Nafees challenge listeners to embrace self-awareness, seek balance between individuality and inclusivity, and approach divisive topics with kindness and curiosity.

Let's get real - pregnancy, postpartum, and the beautiful chaos that is navigating your fitness journey through it all can be a LOT. It's been a minute since I've been pregnant (like 17 years), but I remember allll of the feelings and emotions that come with this life-altering season!I've also learned plenty since my pregnancies. I know that your movement and mindset during pregnancy and postpartum is super important, and you MUST give yourself permission to evolve.Pregnancy isn't a time for the ‘all-or-nothing' thinking - it's a time to shift your workouts, and honor your energy. Movement is still medicine, and taking care of your body and mind is NEVER selfish!Postpartum is a time for you to heal, nourish, and give yourself grace. It's NOT about ‘bouncing back', or forcing your body into extremes. You're not going backwards…you're building something brand NEW.You don't need to wish for your ‘pre-baby body'. Whatever chapter you're in, I hope you keep showing up, pivot with purpose when necessary, and trust that every season is shaping the strongest version of YOU yet!In this episode, we cover:How to approach movement during pregnancy & postpartumWhy your pregnancy shouldn't be an ‘all-or-nothing' seasonPrioritizing YOUR health & well-being during pregnancyThe power in realizing that YOU are your baby's home (and that means everything)Real talk on postpartum fitness + sustainable ways to rebuild your strengthEmbracing the version of you right NOW & letting her take the leadLinks/Resources:Ep. 166 | Rethinking Fitness: How Body Recomp Can Transform Your Fitness JourneyEp. 170 | Body Recomp: Key Mindset Shifts for Long-term ChangeJoin IT GIRL membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join 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!

From daily walk-in videos to clips of my workouts, I'm documenting my progress in a way that not only tracks physical change, but also reflects the work I've done around body image and self-confidence.I talk about how difficult it used to be to show my full body on camera, let alone share how I walk. I've been leaning into this discomfort and using content as a way to tell my story—not to fit in, but to stand out. I also get into something new I've been doing: writing messages on coffee cups as part of my “Caffeine with Compassion” project. What started as a deeply personal struggle with handwriting as a kid has turned into something I now proudly share.This episode is a reminder that the things we've hidden away can become the things that make us most powerful.

The social aspect of cutting back or eliminating alcohol can be really stressful and I've been there too… The inevitable questions you might face if you don't order alcohol in a friend group or turn down a drink your friend really wants you to try… we've been there. In today's episode, we're going to share 6 strategies that we actually got from Julie Helms, a communication and skills expert. These are awesome strategies for someone like me, an enneagram 9, who doesn't like to be direct and confrontational if I don't have to be. Your choices are your own, and you don't owe anyone an explanation.  And while setting strong verbal boundaries (like “I'm not drinking tonight”) *IS* an option, these non verbal strategies might help you navigate situations with more comfort and grace, while inviting less follow-up questions. From ordering a mocktail with confidence to "I'll start with water, thank you" and never ordering a drink to a drink getting mysteriously "lost", these ways have saved us in those times we were cutting back but didn't want to explain ourselves. Time Stamps: (1:32) Our Incredible Team (3:09) Your Relationship With Alcohol (4:51) Alcohol Can Be Adding Fuel To The Fire (11:22) Drinking in Social Settings (12:42) #1: Order A Mocktail With Confidence (15:45) #2: You Can Have The Drink Poured But Not Drink It (17:20) #3: I'll Start With Water Thanks (19:07) #4: Keep It Simple and Say No Thanks (20:15) #5: The Toasting Trick (22:57) #6: Drink Gets Lost Throughout The Night---------------------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?

Send us a textIn this  episode of The Strong(HER) Way, Alisha Carlson breaks down one of the biggest lies women have been sold by diet culture: that your weight defines your health, your progress, and your worth.If you've ever found yourself spiraling because the scale went up—or felt like you could only celebrate when it dropped—this conversation will shift everything.Alisha dives into the truth about body image, weight loss, and why the scale is a lagging metric that doesn't reflect your true health. You'll learn how to track real progress through non-diet health metrics like energy, mood, strength, and hormonal health—because fat loss doesn't always mean healing, and healing doesn't always show up on a scale.This is your invitation to redefine what it means to be healthy—from the inside out.

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Craig and I react to a viral Instagram reel where a guy quickly rattled off a list of things you supposedly don't need in your fitness journey. It was the classic quick-hit, no-context, bait-style content… so naturally, we had thoughts. We broke it down one by one—what we actually agree with and what we think is complete BS. Some of the points were solid, others were just flat-out misleading. Either way, it sparked a fun and informative conversation around what truly matters in your health and fitness journey. Whether you're new to the gym or deep into your fitness lifestyle, this episode will give you some clarity (and maybe a few laughs) on what's worth your time—and what's not.   Register For 30-Strong - Register Here Join The Collective - Join Here Interested in working with a coach?

Are you intrigued by this week's title? That title is called a hook. A hook is something that gets your attention because it opens a loop in your brain, and gets you to keep reading/watching/listening until that loop is closed. Why do certain reels on Instagram get you to pause and watch them through? Because there is text or video or something that hooks you in by opening that loop in your brain. This little-known psychological phenomenon is called the Zeigarnik effect, coined by Dr. Bluma Zeigarnik.  This is why every episode of a good show ends in a cliffhanger. (It's why I'm really angry with the author of the Fourth Wing series… leaving every book with a cliffhanger.) It's also the same reason why many high-performing women find themselves overwhelmed quickly when making changes in their health and fitness. These women are giving their all in every area, but just like your computer only has so much RAM and you can only have so many tabs open before it slows down, you can only do so many things before your executive function (the “management system” of your brain) gets taxed. Add in stress, poor sleep, anxiety (all common symptoms of hormone imbalances) and your executive function is even more limited. The Zeigarnik effect states ''Our minds quickly forget finished tasks. However, they are programmed to continually interrupt us with reminders of unfinished tasks.” In other words, the Zeigarnik effect causes you to have lingering thoughts about the to-do's you haven't done, the deliverables you have yet to finish because your brain is looking for closure. We can hack this effect (the same way I've hacked netflix by pausing episodes in the lull instead of finishing the episode) by reducing cognitive overload. So how do we do that when we have a million priorities? In this episode, I'm going to share with you 4 key ways and strategies to mitigate the Zeigarnik effect that is causing you a lot of overwhelm and stress when it comes to your health and fitness goals.

At one point I cried to my doctor because I was just so frustrated…. I thought I needed to eat less, be stricter, exercise harder but none of it was working. In fact, I found myself gaining weight, looking puffier, and feeling more exhausted the harder I tried. Does this sound familiar? "You're just being lazy. It's all in your head" is what I kept telling myself and that only made things worse mentally. It wasn't until I dug deeper into my hormone health and found the root cause I was able to start truly healing and getting back to myself. In this episode, I'm going to explain the four key changes that I implemented that made all the difference for me. We will cover why I backed off of my training, learned to nourish my adrenals with proper nutrition, cut back on caffeine which was incredibly hard at the time, and learned to rebalance my circadian rhythm.  Time Stamps: (0:25) Team Coming Into Town (1:32) The Adrenals (3:05) My Hormone Healing Journey (5:15) What To Look For With Adrenal Fatigue (9:15) Pulling Back Intensity (11:25) Nourishing Your Adrenals (14:28) Magnesium Rich Foods (16:18) Hydration and Electrolytes (19:12) Proper Supplementation (19:54) Cutting Back on Caffeine (21:15) Prioritizing Sleep (25:05) We Can't Work With Everyone---------------------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?
