Most women don't struggle with fat loss because they're doing something wrong. They struggle because they've been taught to judge progress using the wrong measurement. The scale reflects body weight, not body composition, and when you don't understand what drives fluctuations, it's easy to panic, overcorrect, and sabotage results.On this episode of THE CHASING CLARITY HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, we continue the conversation from Part 1 by breaking down why scale weight behaves differently in women, how the menstrual cycle influences day to day changes, and how to track progress accurately without letting a single number dictate your mindset or effort.If you've ever felt like you were doing everything right but the scale jumped up a few pounds overnight, this episode will bring clarity. Progress is never linear, and weight is only one small piece of a much larger picture.HERE IS WHAT WE COVER️HOW THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE IMPACTS SCALE FLUCTUATIONS️ WHY WOMEN SEE BIGGER DAY TO DAY SHIFTS COMPARED TO MEN️ HOW TO USE DAILY WEIGH INS AND 7 DAY AVERAGES TO TRACK TRENDS️WHY WEEKLY WEIGH INS CAN MISLEAD YOU️ THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT LOSS AND WATER WEIGHT️ HOW TO DESENSITIZE YOURSELF TO SCALE ANXIETY️ HOW TO TRACK PROGRESS BEYOND THE SCALE WITH PHOTOS, CLOTHING, PERFORMANCE AND BIOFEEDBACK️ WHY TRUE TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES MULTIPLE DATA POINTSIf you want to stop letting the scale control your emotions, your decisions, or your belief in yourself, this episode will teach you how to interpret the data correctly and stay consistent without second guessing every fluctuation.IF THIS EPISODE HELPED YOU, SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND WHO NEEDS IT.If you're ready for coaching that respects female physiology and builds results that last, apply for 1:1 coaching through the link in the show notes.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.com

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A life can pivot on a single “no.” For Vinod Chandel, repeated rejection at the police gate became the spark that turned a frail kid into a national bodybuilding champion and, eventually, one of India's most sought-after celebrity coaches. We unpack how he built a career on anatomy, humility, and relentless learning—then rebuilt it after a slip disc forced him to rethink strength from the spine out.We walk through the transformation from old-school, mirror-first training to a 360-degree method that blends mobility, yoga, calisthenics, kettlebells, and stick work. Vinod shares how balanced shoulder development demands understanding muscle heads and alignment, why cat-cow and hip control can unlock heavier squats, and how long days at desks or on sets age the body faster than birthdays. He opens up about pricing and negotiation, the realities of traveling with stars, and the principle that knowledge—not hype—earns trust and income.What stands out is the cultural fusion: Western exercise science sharpened his programming, while Indian warrior traditions—gada, mudgar, sword work—taught rotational strength, grip, and presence. That blend helps everyone from actors to IT pros move better, recover faster, and stay injury-resistant. For new trainers, Vinod's playbook is simple and demanding: train all kinds of bodies, repeat your own transformations, and cook your craft under real-world pressure.

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Craig and I dive into one of the most debated topics in the fitness world — protein. Is there really such a thing as too much protein? Are people in the fitness space chronically over-feeding themselves in the name of muscle gain? And more importantly, are they sacrificing other key nutrients just to hit massive protein goals? We break it all down — the pros, the cons, and the context that actually matters. You'll hear our personal opinions, what we've seen with clients, and what we believe is the sweet spot for optimal protein intake. If you've ever wondered whether you're overdoing it or under-fueling your body with protein, this episode will give you clarity and practical takeaways you can apply right away.
