Welcome to the eighth and final episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today, I sit down with Coach Rae to talk about something we don't see many functional health companies address: relationship with food. We dig into why diet culture and social media have made it so hard for women to feel at peace with food, from the Britney Spears waist era to today's constant stream of body trends. Coach Rae shares the signs she looks for when a client's relationship with food might need extra attention, from fear of carbs to being afraid to keep certain foods in the house. We talk about why functional health can't just be labs, meal plans, and supplements, and why the mindset work around food fear matters just as much as the physical protocols. Rae walks us through how she approaches clients with real GI symptoms who are afraid to eat, including how elimination diets can help separate true food sensitivities from fear driven reactions. She also opens up about her own twenty plus year journey with food and control, and why curiosity with yourself is often the starting point for change. We then talk through the personality patterns she sees most often, the anxious perfectionists who feel safest when they're in control of their food, and why that sense of control can actually make your nervous system more fragile over time. Rae reminds listeners that struggling with food isn't about a lack of discipline, and that healing is possible no matter how long you've felt stuck. This is a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build freedom and peace with food.

Fat Loss School - Weight loss, Wellness, and Mindset Lessons for Women Over 50
Macro tracking can feel confusing at first, but it doesn't have to be. In this FAT LOSS SCHOOL episode, I'm breaking down the basics of protein, carbohydrates, and fat—and explaining why tracking macros can be a more useful fat-loss tool than simply counting calories. You'll learn what macros are, why each one matters, how protein supports muscle preservation after 50, whether you should stay under your macro targets, how to handle protein supplements, fiber, restaurant meals, alcohol, and exercise, and why eating less and exercising more is not always the answer. I'll also explain why your macro targets should be customized to YOU rather than copied from a friend or pulled from a random online calculator. Inside the FASTer Way program, you receive customized macro targets, weekly meal plans and menus, strategically programmed workouts, and coaching to help you put it all together without having to figure it out on your own. If you're a woman over 50 who wants to lose fat, preserve muscle, improve body composition, and finally understand how to fuel your body, consider this your Macro Tracking 101 class. In this episode: What protein, carbs, and fats actually do Macros vs. calories for fat loss Why eating below your targets can backfire How much protein matters after 50 Whole foods vs. “if it fits your macros” Protein powders and supplements Fiber-rich foods Tracking macros while eating at restaurants Alcohol and fat-loss goals Why strength training and nutrition work together How customized macro targets make the process easier This is Part 1 of my Macro Mini-Series, so be sure to listen to the upcoming lessons on practical macro-tracking tips and carb cycling.

What if your low energy, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor recovery, mood changes, and stalled progress aren't simply signs that you need to work harder—but clues that your thyroid isn't functioning optimally? Dr. Amie Hornaman, author of The Thyroid Fix, joins us to explain why she considers the thyroid the body's "master gland" and why standard thyroid testing may not tell the entire story. They break down TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies; the difference between "normal" and optimal lab results; Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism; and when thyroid hormone replacement may be appropriate. Amie also explains how gluten, over-exercising, chronic under-eating, nutrient deficiencies and aggressive GLP-1 use may affect thyroid health and metabolism. Plus, she explains the importance of iodine, selenium, magnesium, protein and dietary fat, detoxification, and so much more!

Welcome to the seventh episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today I'm joined by Coach Lindsay, and we're getting real about what's actually not working in the functional health space, even when practitioners mean well. We break down five major red flags to watch for, starting with practitioners who don't address nutrition beyond a generic food list. We talk about why using supplements as a bandaid, without digging into the root cause, just becomes another quick fix that doesn't actually heal anything. Coach Lindsay shares her own health journey, including how infrequent check ins with her provider left her feeling stuck and unsure of her progress. We also get into why rigid diet plans can backfire by teaching your body to adapt rather than building real metabolic flexibility. And we can't talk about functional health without talking about training, so we cover why using the right training stimulus matters just as much as nutrition and supplements when it comes to hitting your goals. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why, and what a more complete approach to healing actually looks like. Lindsay brings so much heart and expertise to this conversation, and I know it's going to help so many of you see your own health journey differently.

Your app or online calculator is likely wrong about calories for fat loss.It can be off by a few hundred calories, and your wearable is even worse. We challenge typical advice by showing how inaccurate maintenance calorie estimates can derail your fat loss before it even starts. I share my 7-week runway that uses consistent tracking to measure your real energy needs so you can execute a calorie deficit with confidence instead of guesswork.

Welcome to the sixth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! In this Coach's Corner episode, I sit down with Coach Krista to talk about something so many moms carry silently: guilt. We dig into why women, especially moms, feel guilty spending time, money, and energy on their own health, even when their families would benefit most from them doing so. Krista shares her belief that if you teach the mom, you reach the entire family, and why understanding your own body is what equips you to help your kids, spouse, and even aging parents. We talk about how kids learn far more from what they see us do than from what we tell them to do, and why modeling healthy habits now shapes how our children will care for themselves as adults. Krista offers practical, tactical advice for having open conversations with your kids and your spouse about why you're prioritizing your health, so they can actually show up and support you instead of feeling confused or left out. We also get into how to talk to kids about supplements, measuring food, and tracking macros in a way that frames these as tools rather than sources of shame. Krista draws a helpful comparison to using a calculator or ruler until you build the intuition to not need them anymore. Finally, we touch on the almond mom conversation and why context and intent matter more than the behavior itself when it comes to raising kids with a healthy relationship to food. This episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's one of the most powerful things you can model for the people who love you.

Flexible dieting can seem overwhelming at first, but it doesn't have to be. In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Coach Sawyer and Giacomo break down a practical approach to getting started without obsessing over numbers or overhauling your entire diet overnight. They discuss how to build awareness of your current eating habits, establish realistic calorie and protein targets, and gradually develop a system that fits your lifestyle instead of fighting against it.The conversation also explores common beginner mistakes, including trying to change everything at once, chasing unnecessarily high protein intakes, and letting perfectionism derail progress. Sawyer and Giacomo explain how to navigate restaurants, travel, family gatherings, and unexpected life events while staying on track, emphasizing that consistency and curiosity are far more valuable than perfection.Whether you're completely new to tracking or looking to make your nutrition approach more sustainable, this episode offers practical strategies for making flexible dieting work in the real world.
Welcome to the fifth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! In this Coach's Corner episode, I sit down with Coach Soraya to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in wellness: detoxification. Soraya shares her own journey from years of over-exercising and chronic restriction to discovering that her body needed support, not more discipline, a shift that accelerated after becoming a mom. We break down what the lymphatic system actually does, why it doesn't have a built-in "pump" like the heart, and why simple daily habits like walking, deep breathing, and hydration matter more than expensive detox gadgets. We dig into common misconceptions, from detox teas to the "if you have a liver, you don't need a detox" myth, and talk about why foundational habits like sleep, nutrition, and stress management have to come first. Soraya introduces her "bucket" analogy for toxin load and the "clogged sink" visual for why adding more without addressing the drain doesn't work. We also walk through what a flush protocol actually involves, why clients often feel worse before they feel better, and how she coaches clients through that discomfort without white-knuckling the process. Finally, we cover simple, low-cost ways to support the lymphatic system daily, from dry brushing in the shower to gua sha and restorative movement. It's a candid, practical conversation about trusting your body instead of trying to out-supplement it.

Think you're eating "clean" but still exhausted, bloated, and stuck? In this episode, we break down protein, carbs, and fat — and why getting your macros right (not just "eating less") might be the missing piece. We are going back to basics on macronutrients — what they are, why your body needs all three, and how each one shows up in your hormones, energy, digestion, and mood. Together, we share personal stories from our bodybuilding and "if it fits your macros" days, break down real starting-point numbers for protein, fat, and carbs, and explain why hitting your macro targets with ultra-processed food still isn't the full picture. Stay tuned for our simple, no-scale-required plate method you can start using today! Key Takeaways: Protein, carbs, and fat each have a non-negotiable job (hormones, nervous system fuel, and hormone-building materials, respectively) — under-eating any one shows up as symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, or a stuck scale. Rough daily starting points: 0.8–1g protein per pound of ideal body weight, a minimum of 50g fat/day, and carbs filling in the rest (often 40–50% of calories for active women). Hitting your macros perfectly doesn't guarantee health — food quality matters just as much, since ultra-processed "macro-friendly" foods can still leave you missing fiber, micronutrients, and gut support.

Welcome to the fourth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Pregnancy and postpartum are often centered around the baby, but what about the mom? In this episode, I sit down with one of our functional health practitioners, Elizabeth, to talk about what actually happens to your metabolism, hormones, thyroid, and gut health after giving birth. We unpack why so many women feel dismissed when they're told their symptoms are "just part of postpartum," and why those changes deserve attention rather than acceptance. You'll learn how breastfeeding, recovery, and hormonal shifts can all influence metabolism, and why trying to "bounce back" too quickly can often work against your body instead of with it. We also discuss the critical role thyroid health and gut function play during the postpartum season, and how protecting both can make a meaningful difference in your energy, recovery, and long-term health. Elizabeth shares what an ideal progression through postpartum recovery can look like, from prioritizing rest to gradually rebuilding movement and strength without rushing the process. We also explain why foundational habits like sunshine, gentle movement, hydration, and nervous system support often matter more than extreme diet or exercise plans in those early months. Along the way, we walk through a real client lab review that highlights how antibiotics, birth control, and gut health can create a ripple effect on hormone balance after pregnancy. I f you've been waiting for the right time to prioritize your own health, this conversation is a reminder that supporting yourself is one of the best ways to support your family. Your body isn't failing you. It's adapting to one of the biggest physiological transitions it will ever experience. Whether you're currently postpartum, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to better understand how the female body recovers, this episode will help you approach the journey with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.

In this episode of Discovering Nutrition, Eliisa sits down with fitness coach, creator, and Bounce Forward co-founder Marlie Cohen to explore what sustainable health and fitness can look like for women navigating motherhood, busy schedules, changing bodies, and years of diet culture. As a mom of two, Marlie shares why she rejects the pressure to “bounce back” and instead helps women build strength, confidence, and habits that move them forward. Marlie shares her own journey with postpartum fitness, macro tracking, and rebuilding trust with food. Together, she and Eliisa discuss the all-or-nothing mindset, why so many women fear carbohydrates, and how tracking nutrition can create more awareness and freedom rather than restriction. They also explore why under-eating during the day can lead to cravings at night, how food noise impacts daily choices, and why consistency matters more than perfection. Whether you're trying to improve your relationship with food, build muscle, feel stronger, or create a routine that fits into real life, this episode offers an honest and practical look at macros, motherhood, strength training, and sustainable progress. Key Notes: Why Marlie created Bounce Forward and why she believes women don't need to “bounce back” after motherhood or major life changes. How the all-or-nothing mindset can keep people stuck in cycles of restriction, guilt, and starting over. Why tracking nutrition can create awareness, reduce food noise, and support more freedom around eating. How fear of carbohydrates, under-eating during the day, and cravings at night are often connected. Why strength training is so important for women, especially as they age, and how to start in a realistic way. How small habits like tracking protein, lifting weights, drinking water, and paying attention to how you feel can build lasting progress over time.
Welcome to the third episode of the Coach's Corner Series! We live in a culture that celebrates being busy, but very few people stop to ask what that constant pace is actually doing to their bodies. In this episode, I'm joined by Vital Spark Coach Mackenzie for an honest conversation about the connection between chronic stress, mindset, and physical health. We explore why stress isn't just emotional, it can influence digestion, hormones, inflammation, energy, and even your ability to reach your health goals. You'll hear why your body responds to a packed schedule the same way it responds to many other perceived threats, and how that keeps so many women stuck in a constant state of fight-or-flight. We also unpack why stress management doesn't have to mean hour-long meditation sessions or completely overhauling your routine. Instead, we share practical ways to regulate your nervous system in the middle of a busy day, from taking a few intentional breaths before meals to finding small moments of calm that fit into real life. We talk about how shifting from frantic energy to calm energy can completely change the way your body responds, even when your schedule doesn't slow down. Coach Mackenzie also shares how she coaches busy moms, healthcare professionals, and women with demanding careers to prioritize their health without adding more pressure to their plates. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion around gratitude and the powerful mindset shift from "I have to" toward "I get to." We also explore why approaching your health journey with curiosity instead of perfection creates far more sustainable results over time. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, constantly on the go, or wondering why your body isn't responding despite your best efforts, I think this episode will help you connect some important dots. My hope is that you'll walk away realizing that supporting your nervous system doesn't require perfection, it simply starts with creating a little more space for your body to feel safe.

We've spent this whole series on the physical side of weight loss resistance, but here's the truth: you are not just a physical body. You're mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical all at once, and if we only declog the physical layer, you end up right back in the same place. In this episode, I'm walking you through the two layers most people never address: the emotional weight loss resistance that keeps your body feeling unsafe, and the mental weight loss resistance that quietly convinces you it's not even possible anymore. By the end, you'll have one specific thing to do today to start proving to yourself that it is.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why emotions aren't problems or weaknesses — they're your body communicating exactly what it needsWhat an "emotional crutch" really is, why overworking counts, and why it's so hard to give upHow meeting an emotion the wrong way (eating instead of resting, a drink instead of crying) reads as a threat to your nervous system — and why an unsafe body holds onto fatWhy weight loss resistance isn't always about eating too much — sometimes it's not eating, skipped meals, and grabbing the easiest food to digestHow a chronically dysregulated nervous system can't tell the difference between a bear and a to-do list — so it holds on, conserves, and protectsThe mental side: how a chronic dieting history teaches your brain that belief itself is an "energy waste"Why your actions always prove your beliefs — and how the fawn response (overgiving, people-pleasing) becomes proof that "this isn't possible for me"The one thing that actually shifts mental resistance (hint: it's not toxic positivity or sticky notes) — real, undeniable evidence your body is already capable of changeThe one question to ask yourself today to move from defeat back into beliefTIMESTAMPS:00:00 We are more than physical — why this episode matters 01:05 The two layers: emotional and mental weight loss resistance 01:32 Emotions are communication, not weakness 02:20 What an emotional crutch is (and why overworking counts) 03:58 Why the crutch feels so good — and why it never resolves anything 04:30 How this connects to weight loss resistance and a body that doesn't feel safe 05:59 Meeting emotions the wrong way and the nervous system "mismatch" 06:47 When dysregulation is high, hunger cues and nutrition fall off the radar 09:11 Stress is stress is stress — why your body can't tell the difference 10:00 The second layer: mental weight loss resistance and losing belief 11:41 Why your brain decides belief is an "energy waste" 12:30 Your actions always prove your beliefs — and the fawn response 14:11 What actually shifts this: evidence, not affirmations 15:00 Everything your body is doing right now without you — proof it's capable16:19 From possible to inevitable 17:21 Your one action for today 18:51 How to get support: coaching consultation and the August nourishment cohortRESOURCES:

Tom Reilly, president of VMI Sports, returns for Episode #226 of the PricePlow Podcast, just five months after his debut on Episode #205. This time, Ben is joined by Spencer, PricePlow’s VP of Partnerships and Operations, who steps in for Mike and steers a big chunk of the conversation toward retail strategy. Tom walks through how VMI keeps winning grocery shelf space at Wegmans, Giant Eagle, and now Wakefern’s ShopRite banner, and why understanding vendor portals, credits, and shipping requirements matters as much as the formula itself. He also unveils VMI’s newest creatine lineup, teases an unnamed protein snack headed for shelves by late summer, and explains why the brand waited two years to find the right creatine gummy manufacturer. Along the way, Tom breaks down VMI’s GNC franchise partnerships, a new VP hire aimed at the beverage business, and the MAX Catalyst-powered formula behind KXR Stacked.

Check Out Sahil Bloom's Newsletter That Inspired This Episode What if having more choices is actually making you less satisfied with the life you're building? In this episode, we explore a fascinating psychological study from Harvard that challenges the common belief that keeping your options open always leads to better outcomes. You'll discover why our minds respond differently to permanent decisions versus reversible ones, and how that shapes our happiness, confidence, and commitment. We also examine how modern technology has created a world overflowing with options, from careers and relationships to health advice and personal growth. While endless possibilities can feel empowering, they can also leave us constantly wondering if something better is just around the corner. This episode introduces the idea of the "eject button mentality", the temptation to abandon meaningful pursuits the moment they become uncomfortable or uncertain. We discuss why the end of the honeymoon phase isn't necessarily a sign that you've chosen the wrong path, but often the point where real growth begins. You'll learn how to distinguish between healthy persistence and knowing when it's truly time to move on. Rather than making major decisions in moments of frustration, we'll explore the value of evaluating your circumstances with a clear and steady perspective. If you've ever questioned a relationship, career, business, or personal goal simply because the excitement faded, this conversation offers a fresh way to think about commitment.

What if the biggest thing holding back your gut health isn't the supplement you're missing but the habits you repeat every single day? In this episode, I'm breaking down the simple, foundational practices that support healthy digestion long before you ever consider probiotics, parasite cleanses, or specialized gut testing. We often get asked which supplements or lab tests someone should start with, but the truth is that most people haven't built the daily habits their digestive system needs to function well in the first place. I'll explain why digestion actually begins before your first bite of food and how stress, distractions, and eating on the go can interfere with your body's ability to properly break down and absorb nutrients. We also dive into why slowing down, chewing your food thoroughly, and creating a calm eating environment can dramatically improve bloating, gas, reflux, and other common digestive complaints. From there, we'll talk about why your gut thrives on consistency, how your circadian rhythm and migrating motor complex work together to keep your digestive system healthy, and why constant snacking may be working against you. I'll also share practical strategies to support your gut between meals through movement, hydration, stress management, sleep, and recovery. Finally, we'll discuss how nutrition should be tailored to the feedback your body is giving you, whether you're struggling with constipation, diarrhea, or other digestive symptoms. Think of these habits as the foundation of a house. Supplements and advanced testing have their place, but they're far more effective when they're built on top of healthy daily routines. If you've been searching for better digestion, less bloating, and a healthier gut, this episode will give you actionable steps you can start implementing today.

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.

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.

SummaryIn this Q&A episode, Chase and Chris answer some of the most common questions they hear. They talk about how to keep getting stronger in the gym, when to increase your weights, and why most people can lift more than they think. They also explain why calories matter most for fat loss, even if your macros are not perfect.The conversation covers whether loose skin can affect body measurements after weight loss and why progress should be measured in more than one way. Finally, they dive into food noise caused by growing up with food scarcity and share practical ways to build trust with your body, slow down your reactions around food, and create healthier habits over time.If you've ever struggled with confidence, progress, or your relationship with food, this episode is packed with helpful advice and encouragement.Chapters(00:00) The Woman Rowing Solo From California to Hawaii and Lessons on Resilience(05:45) How to Progressively Overload and Build Strength(14:45) Calories vs. Macros: What Matters Most for Fat Loss?(17:20) Can Loose Skin Affect Your Measurements?(23:20) How to Quiet Food Noise After Growing Up With Food ScarcitySUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective
Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
Okay, so real talk. I used to be the person who would get to dinner, open my logging app, and realize I had not tracked a single thing all day. Not breakfast, not lunch, not even that snack I definitely ate at 3pm. I would just close the app and tell myself I would do better tomorrow. And then tomorrow would come and the same thing would happen all over again. Macro tracking does not have to feel that way. I am a registered dietitian, a certified personal trainer, and a mom of five, and I have been consistently tracking my macros for years. These days it takes me about five minutes a day, and I want to show you exactly how I do it. Here is what I know after years of working with moms just like you: the problem is almost never motivation. It is the system. Or the lack of one. When I finally stopped logging at the end of the day and made a few key shifts to how I actually approach tracking, everything changed for me. In this episode, I am sharing the tips that made macro tracking for busy moms not just manageable, but actually fast and sustainable. These are the same strategies I use personally and teach inside my program. If you are tired of inconsistent data, missed meals, and feeling like you are starting over every single week, this one is going to be a game changer for you. I cannot wait to share this with you! -Rachel Next Steps: Meal Planning on Autopilot Starter Kit Book a Free Discovery Call to learn about the Fat Loss Formula Coaching Program Follow my Instagram @effectivefitnessforwomen
What if the amount of exercise you actually need for long-term health is far less than you've been led to believe? In this episode, I'm breaking down some fascinating claims from longevity expert Dr. Amy Killen that completely challenge the "more is better" approach many women have been taught when it comes to fitness. One statistic in particular caught my attention: her claim that women may achieve most of the longevity benefits of resistance training with surprisingly little weekly volume. We'll dive into what the research actually says about strength training, longevity, and mortality risk, including why multiple studies seem to show that the biggest health benefits occur at relatively modest amounts of resistance training. I'll also share why, in my own experience and in working with clients, two to three strength-training sessions per week seems to be the sweet spot for recovery, consistency, and long-term results. We'll talk about the trap of comparing yourself to genetic outliers, influencers, and fitness competitors whose training volumes often aren't realistic or necessary for the average woman. I'll also unpack the recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, why walking may be one of the most powerful longevity tools available, and my thoughts on where high-intensity exercise fits into the picture. Most importantly, I want to make the case that prioritizing health often leads to better physique outcomes over the long term than constantly chasing more workouts, more volume, and more intensity. We'll also discuss the real risks of overtraining, including hormone disruption, cycle irregularities, bone loss, and the cumulative stress excessive exercise can place on the body.

You'll learn how flexibility, simplified meals, and learning to navigate restaurants can support sustainable weight loss, reverse dieting, and long-term results without restriction.
Most women think nutrition comes down to two options: track every bite forever… or completely wing it. But that black-and-white thinking keeps a lot of people stuck.In this episode, I am talking about why sometimes, tracking macros can backfire. While it can be an incredibly useful tool, it is not required for success. What ultimately matters most is gaining food awareness. Ill be discussing how to build awareness around portions, hunger, meal structure, protein intake, consistency, and eating patterns without obsessing over numbers.If you've ever thought, “I'm tired of tracking, but I'm afraid I'll lose progress if I stop,” this conversation is for you.In this episode, I cover: Why macro tracking is a tool, not "THE" toolWhat food monitoring is and what it isntWhy food monitoring matters, but not in the "macro tracking" senseSigns your nutrition approach is creating more stress than supportSimple ways to build food awareness without tracking every gramHow to figure out which method of monitoring food is a good fit for youReady to go deeper?If you're a woman over 40 who feels like you're doing everything right, but your body still isn't responding the way it used to...this is exactly the work I do.My coaching is built around identifying what's keeping your body stuck, rebuilding the environment your hormones need to function, and creating a strategy you can actually execute long enough for it to work.You don't need more random inputs.You need a body that can respond to the right ones.CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!Join me on Instagram!

Emma tackles one of the most common pitfalls in macro tracking: using flexibility as an excuse to avoid structure. She opens by sharing how she once lived by "If It Fits Your Macros" - eating whatever she wanted as long as it hit her numbers — and why that approach eventually led to poor satiety, low energy, and even binge eating cycles.Flexible dieting is a powerful tool, but without structure (consistent meal timing. protein anchors. fiber, and planned treats), it becomes chaotic and unsustainable. Emma walks through the mistakes she and her clients commonly make — skipping breakfast, saving calories for night snacks, choosing calorie-dense low-volume foods - and explains how these behaviors, while technically "on plan," work against hunger, cravings, and consistency.She closes with a practical 6-step daily framework: anchor meals with protein, build for volume, plan fun foods intentionally, eat early enough in the day, repeat meals that work, and audit how your food makes you feel. The takeaway: structure isn't the opposite of food freedom - it's what makes food freedom sustainable.Apply for coaching Join the Monthly Membership Submit a question for the podcast HAPI supplementsThe EmPowered Community free Facebook group Follow Emma on InstagramFollow Emma on Facebook
Most women who struggle with binge eating never talk about it. I'm changing that today. In this episode, I get personal about my own journey with binge eating, tracing it back to my early twenties and walking through the slow, nonlinear process of working through it over the past decade. This is not a quick fix episode. There is no finish line moment, no single breakthrough that made it all click. What there is, is an honest look at what actually moved the needle over time. I break down the three things that made the biggest difference in my healing: releasing the good food and bad food rules that were quietly running the show, going through a functional reverse diet to address what was happening on a physiological level, and reframing the stories I was telling myself after a binge episode. I also dig into something that does not get talked about enough, which is how your body's overall toxic load and sensitivity to certain foods can actually reinforce disordered eating patterns without you even realizing it. If you have ever felt completely out of control around food, finished a vacation feeling more guilt than joy, or wondered if you will ever stop the restrict and binge cycle, this episode is for you. You are not broken, and you are not alone.

We start with a simple photo test that exposes a brutal truth about weight loss: most of us are not “bad at dieting,” we are bad at estimating what we eat, especially when food is made for us. That one skill gap can turn an intended deficit into a hidden surplus, and it is why clients can feel stuck, inflamed, and defeated while their log still looks “pretty good.” From there, we take a hard turn into the internet's favorite fuel: fear. We break down the viral strawberry scare, the language of “toxins” and “detox,” and why confident influencers with shaky credentials can out-share careful scientific explanations. We are not here to dunk on people; we are here to show how to evaluate claims, follow incentives, and keep nutrition education grounded in dose, context, and real-world behavior, especially for families trying to shop on a budget. Then we rebuild the fundamentals of nutrition coaching: the six essential nutrients, macros vs micros, and the fuel factors that make macro math simple (4 calories per gram for carbs and protein, 9 for fat, 7 for alcohol). We connect that math to digestion and metabolism, including how carbs relate to glycogen and water weight, why protein has a higher thermic effect of food, and how “all calories are equal” can be both true and incomplete. The deeper point is sustainability: vegan, carnivore, keto, or mixed diets can all work if they fit the person and produce a consistent, livable calorie deficit. If you want a smarter way to think about calories, macros, and misinformation without losing your mind, listen through and share it with someone who is tired of nutrition fearmongering.

In this episode of Empowered Radio, host Emma Montgomery revisits one of the most debated topics in nutrition: meal timing. Emma shares what she used to believe as a coach - that calories were the only thing that mattered - and how years of personal experience and working with clients changed her mind.She unpacks how meal timing affects hunger, cravings, binge eating patterns, sleep quality, scale fluctuations, and workout performance. This isn't about rigid meal schedules or debunking myths; it's about building eating patterns that actually support sustainable fat loss and a healthier relationship with food.Apply for coaching Join the Monthly Membership Submit a question for the podcast HAPI supplementsThe EmPowered Community free Facebook group Follow Emma on InstagramFollow Emma on Facebook
What if burning more calories had less to do with punishing workouts and more to do with how you live your everyday life? In this episode, we're breaking down 10 low-effort ways to support your metabolism without adding hours of cardio or exhausting yourself in the gym. Because the truth is, your metabolism is running 24/7 and small habits repeated consistently can have a much bigger impact than most people realize. We start with five hobbies that naturally increase calorie burn and improve metabolic health, including hiking, swimming, cycling, dancing, and even hobbies like knitting that help regulate stress and reduce mindless snacking. You'll learn why activities that support cortisol regulation, muscle activation, and nervous system balance can quietly improve fat loss and energy levels behind the scenes. Then we shift into five simple lifestyle strategies that can significantly change the way your body uses energy throughout the day. From walking after meals and increasing NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) to prioritizing sleep, hydration, and even small micro-movements, this episode explains how metabolism is influenced by far more than workouts alone. We also break down the science in a way that actually makes sense covering blood sugar regulation, insulin, cortisol, thermogenesis, and why sleep may be one of the most underrated fat-loss tools available. Most importantly, this conversation reframes the idea that improving your metabolism has to mean doing more. Sometimes it's about working with your body instead of constantly fighting it. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by all-or-nothing fitness advice, this episode will help you see that sustainable progress often comes from the simplest shifts. Your metabolism doesn't just respond to exercise. It responds to your environment, your habits, your stress levels, and the way you move through everyday life.

We start the podcast with a little diet talk - macros, proteins, fats and leaning to eat right. The Wedding Wednesday bleed into a podcast conversation and horizontal parenting.
In this episode, Kim answers a question about meal plans, calories, and macros — and tackles one of the biggest problems women face during fat loss journeys: overthinking everything. She explains why obsessing over tiny macro differences creates unnecessary stress, how food substitutions actually work, and why consistency matters far more than perfection. Kim also breaks down the relationship between calories, protein, carbs, and fat during a shred, and explains why the body responds best to consistency over time. Inside this episode: • Do calories matter more than macros? • Why small food swaps won't ruin your progress • How to substitute foods correctly in meal plans • The danger of becoming obsessive with tracking • Why consistency drives fat loss results • The real purpose of gradually lowering calories This episode is essential listening for anyone who feels overwhelmed trying to “do everything perfectly.” ✨ Follow Kim Constable online for more real talk and daily motivation:
In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the full arc of my health journey, from my days as a Division I equestrian athlete at UGA to the years of frustration, confusion, and rock bottom moments that ultimately led me to functional health. I open up about how the pressure to maintain a certain body composition as a college athlete first pushed me toward disordered eating habits, setting the stage for years of weight loss resistance. After graduating and moving to Atlanta, I threw myself into CrossFit, convinced that more intensity was the answer, only to find myself getting puffier, more inflamed, and increasingly exhausted. Despite working out harder than ever, I wasn't seeing results, and my body was sending signals I didn't yet know how to read. Chronic digestive issues, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and social anxiety began compounding on top of each other, leaving me feeling like I might be making it all up. A series of dismissive doctor's appointments left me feeling invalidated and completely stuck, including one where I was simply told to eat less and exercise more. Coming off birth control without proper hormonal support triggered a new wave of symptoms, including severe acne and irregular cycles, adding yet another layer to an already overwhelming season. I describe the emotional toll of watching life move forward, friends getting married and starting families, while I felt too depleted and self-conscious to fully show up. It wasn't until I discovered functional health and began running comprehensive labs that I finally got the validation I had been desperate for. Something was genuinely wrong, and it wasn't in my head. I then invested deeply, financially and personally, in learning everything I could about the connection between hormones, gut health, metabolism, and the immune system. That journey ultimately led to a 40-pound transformation, not through restriction and overtraining, but by working out less, eating more, and addressing the true root causes. Those hard-won lessons became the foundation for the one-stop functional health program I built for my clients. Now pregnant with my daughter, I reflect on how healing my own body is something I'll be able to pass on in ways I never imagined. If any part of my story sounds familiar, I want you to know: you are not alone, and there is a path to the other side.

The best athletes in the world aren't consistent because their lives are calm. They're consistent because they've learned how to get back on track, fast. In this episode, we're breaking down the one trait that actually separates the ultra consistent from everyone else, and it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline. We're diving into the real reason you keep falling off your health routines, and why it might not be a character flaw at all. If you've ever missed a workout, overeaten on the weekend, or abandoned a protocol early and then spiraled into shame, this episode is for you. We unpack the surprising research behind the famous marshmallow test and what it actually reveals about trust, environment, and follow-through. You'll learn why your metabolism, hormones, and stress response may be working against your best intentions and what to do about it. We talk about what a real "way back" looks like when life gets busy, chaotic, or emotionally draining. Forget waiting until Monday; we're giving you practical resets you can use at your very next meal, workout, or hard moment. We also tackle the fine line between releasing shame and staying accountable, because both matter. You'll walk away with a handful of powerful questions to ask yourself when things fall apart, so you can turn setbacks into information instead of evidence against yourself. This episode will challenge the way you define consistency and replace perfection with something far more sustainable. If you're ready to stop starting over and start returning, this one's for you.

Macros explained, finally in a way that actually makes sense. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down everything you need to know about macronutrients: what they are, why they matter more than just counting calories, how to calculate your targets, and how to adjust them based on your goals and how your body feels. Whether you're trying to lose fat, build muscle, or just finally understand what everyone is talking about when they say 'hit your macros,' this episode covers it all. They also share the wild frontier story about hunters who starved to death eating nothing but rabbits, and why that story changes how you think about fat forever. Free Resource
