In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Matt Berthot, an incredible voice coach and passionate communicator who's helping people all over the world find clarity, confidence, and authenticity in how they show up and speak. Whether you're on stage, in a boardroom, recording content, or simply trying to speak your truth in everyday life—this episode is for you. Matt's journey started in the classroom as a high school choir teacher, but he quickly realized his mission was bigger than teaching music—it was helping people unlock their true voice. We explore how he made the transition into coaching speakers, artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday leaders, and why your voice is one of the most underutilized tools for personal and professional transformation. In our conversation, Matt opens up about the emotional and spiritual side of voice work—how speaking with power often requires us to do the inner work first. We talk about how vulnerability and storytelling aren't just buzzwords—they're essential for building connection, credibility, and real impact. Matt also shares how he's currently pushing himself through the 365 Hard challenge—not just to build discipline, but to bring deeper alignment between his mind, body, and message. We touch on the tools he's using, like MyFitnessPal and ChatGPT, and how even that journey ties back to voice: being in tune with who you are, and how you show up.

Try MacroFactor for free with code WITSANDWEIGHTS.--Meticulously tracking your food but still not seeing results? You're not alone—and it's probably not your fault. Most calorie tracking and food logging apps are fundamentally flawed, using static formulas that never adjust to your body's changing metabolism. When you sign up for MyFitnessPal, Lose It, or Chronometer, they calculate your calorie needs once and never revisit them, despite the fact that your metabolism constantly adapts to what you eat, how much you weigh, your activity levels, sleep quality, and stress.This episode exposes why traditional tracking apps fail to deliver sustainable results and introduces the missing element: the feedback loop between what you eat and how your body responds. They are "dumb" apps, not "smart" apps.Your metabolism isn't a fixed furnace burning the same amount of fuel day after day—it's a dynamic system that becomes more efficient during calorie restriction and changes as you lose or gain weight.So use the right tool for the job if you want to lose fat and gain muscle!Main Takeaways:Traditional apps like MyFitnessPal, LoseIt, and Cronometer rely on static formulas that don't adapt to your body's changing metabolismYour metabolism constantly shifts due to weight changes, activity levels, stress, sleep, and metabolic adaptationFood tracking itself is valuable for awareness, but without a feedback loop that dynamically adjusts your targets, you'll eventually hit plateausDynamic TDEE calculation analyzes the relationship between your actual calorie intake and weight changes to provide personalized recommendationsA "smart" tracking system becomes more accurate over time as it learns about your unique metabolismEpisode Resources:Try MacroFactor for free with code WITSANDWEIGHTS.Watch my MacroFactor setup tutorialTimestamps: 0:00 - Why most calorie tracking apps are failing you 3:05 - The problem with static TDEE calculations 6:18 - How your metabolism actually adapts over time 11:07 - Specific limitations of popular tracking apps 14:46 - Why you need dynamic "smart" TDEE calculation 21:14 - Implementing an effective tracking strategy 25:19 - How proper tracking changes your behavior 27:29 - Recap and recommendationsSupport the show

Something's not right in the world of location data.In January, a location data broker named Gravy Analytics was hacked, with the alleged cybercriminal behind the attack posting an enormous amount of data online as proof. Though relatively unknown to most of the public, Gravy Analytics is big in the world of location data collection, and, according to an enforcement action from the US Federal Trade Commission last year, the company claimed to “collect, process, and curate more than 17 billion signals from around a billion mobile devices daily.”Those many billions of signals, because of the hack, were now on display for security researchers, journalists, and curious onlookers to peruse, and when they did, they found something interesting. Listed amongst the breached location data were occasional references to thousands of popular mobile apps, including Tinder, Grindr, Candy Crush, My Fitness Pal, Tumblr, and more.The implication, though unproven, was obvious: The mobile apps were named with specific lines of breached data because those apps were the source of that breached data. And, considering how readily location data is traded directly from mobile apps to data brokers to advertisers, this wasn't too unusual a suggestion.Today, nearly every free mobile app makes money through ads. But ad purchasing and selling online is far more sophisticated than it used to be for newspapers and television programs. While companies still want to place their ads in front of demographics they believe will have the highest chance of making a purchase—think wealth planning ads inside the Wall Street Journal or toy commercials during cartoons—most of the process now happens through pieces of software that can place bids at data “auctions.” In short, mobile apps sometimes collect data about their users, including their location, device type, and even battery level. The apps then bring that data to an advertising auction, and separate companies “bid” on the ability to send their ads to, say, iPhone users in a certain time zone or Android users who speak a certain language.This process happens every single day, countless times every hour, but in the case of the Gravy Analytics breach, some of the apps referenced in the data expressed that, one, they'd never heard of Gravy Analytics, and two, no advertiser had the right to collect their users' location data.In speaking to 404 Media, a representative from Tinder said:“We have no relationship with Gravy Analytics and have no evidence that this data was obtained from the Tinder app.”A representative for Grindr echoed the sentiment:“Grindr has never worked with or provided data to Gravy Analytics. We do not share data with data aggregators or brokers and have not shared geolocation with ad partners for many years.”And a representative for a Muslim prayer app, Muslim Pro, said much of the same:“Yes, we display ads through several ad networks to support the free version of the app. However, as mentioned above, we do not authorize these networks to collect location data of our users.”What all of this suggested was that some other mechanism was allowing for users of these apps to have their locations leaked and collected online.And to try to prove that, one independent researcher conducted an experiment: Could he find himself in his own potentially leaked data?Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with independent research Tim Shott about his investigation into leaked location data. In his experiment, Shott installed two mobile games that were referenced in the breach, an old game called Stack, and a more current game...

Today, I'm sharing a mind-blowing idea that changed how I tackle goals — like losing weight for good. When I was struggling to lose weight, I'd always focus on outcomes, like dropping pounds on the scale, but I really struggled with consistency. I've since learned that one of the most powerful tools you can have in your lifelong weight loss toolbox is changing your identity. In other words, I had to take an inside-out approach by thinking of myself differently. I had to think and eat like a 'naturally thin' person by focusing on who I'm becoming, not what I'm doing. In today's episode, I break down the three different layers to this process. The deepest one — identity — is where your permanent weight loss happens. Instead of ‘I want to lose weight,' I wanted to become the kind of person who didn't use food as an emotional crutch on a hard day. Every small step, like eating well, proves it to me. Tiny actions, like waiting until I'm hungry to eat, helped me rewrite how I see myself. It wasn't an instant change, obviously, but I was able to be consistent. I decided who I wanted to be and practiced mirroring that behavior daily. Want to learn how to THINK and EAT like a 'naturally thin' person? It's about adopting their inner psychology and eating habits, not just hitting a number in My Fitness Pal. Check out this episode for the full scoop — I can't wait to tell you about this life-changing strategy!

One of my all-time favorite topics to dive in and educate on is…MACROS!I've talked about macros many times in previous episodes (check some out linked below), but my goal for today's episode is to break them down super simply, and with a bit of a fresh perspective.Macros (short for macronutrients) are the biggest piece of the puzzle; they've transformed sooo much for me over the years, and really changed the game for me on my fitness journey! As I'm working with many new clients right now, I'm continually reminded of how women don't really understand what macros are, or even how their bodies work. Macros are not just some ‘fad diet' or ‘quick fix' - they're made up of proteins, carbs, and fats, so they're in literally EVERYTHING you eat. If you're consuming food, you're consuming macros!Counting and tracking your macros is very similar to budgeting your money. Just like you track, save, and spend your money, you've got to know what YOUR specific body needs in terms of macros. When you start counting and tracking your macros, that's when you truly start to understand what macros are, and how they work for you (not against you).If you're stuck in a ‘diet' mentality and think you can only reach your goals by doing low carb or low fat diets forever, this episode is for YOU!I want to help you go forward, and be empowered to make macros work for you and YOUR life, for the long-term. I'm proof that it's possible, and I would love to help you get there, too!!In this episode, we cover:Realizing that you're already consuming macros in everything you eat + why this is NOT a ‘diet'Why macros = energyMacro counting vs. macro tracking + why macros are like moneyHow to adjust your macros ‘target' based on your goals (fat loss, muscle gain, etc.)Why it's essential to be consuming ‘enough' proteins, fats AND carbs + getting specific data on YOUR bodyLearning to *truly* understand macros and break free from fad dietsLinks/Resources:Ep. 132 | Simplifying Macros: Why Flexibility is More Important than PerfectionEp. 91 | Real Talk: Understanding and Tracking Macros is Essential for Long Term SuccessEp. 6 | 3 Reasons Why Tracking Macros Will Help You Reach Your Health and Fitness GoalsFood tracking apps: MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, MyNetDiaryJoin 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!

One thing you probably know about me by now is that I'm always trying to improve. I'm always working towards new goals, new levels and being better than I was yesterday. Certain areas of my life are much easier to work on than others, but overall, I'm constantly striving to be the next best version of myself. To do that, it requires building habits and routines that support my growth and development. It also requires letting go of habits and routines that no longer serve me. I spend a lot of time at the end of the year reflecting on things that work and don't work in my life, money and business. In this episode, I'm sharing the habits I plan to implement as quickly as possible to help me step into the next best version of me. Here's a glance at this episode: [02:00] Raya vows to be proactive when expanding her knowledge. She plans on reading physical books, listening to audiobooks and taking online classes. [05:50] Raya shares what she recently learned from the book Think and Grow Rich – that having knowledge is irrelevant if that knowledge is never used. [08:41] Tracking macros in My Fitness Pal is a high priority for Raya in 2025, even though it sounds intimidating. [12:53] Raya wants to initiate virtual coffee chats with guests from the City Girl Savings podcast, this can help expand her network. [16:22] Let's vow to do more of what makes us happy. As cheesy as it sounds, doing more of what makes you happy is a lifelong pursuit. Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode? Are you a fan of the City Girl Savings podcast?

Success doesn't come from what you do occasionally, but from what you do consistently. In this episode, I discuss effective strategies for setting and achieving healthy weight loss goals. I break down the SMART goal framework, explaining how to create goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. I emphasize the importance of avoiding vague resolutions and instead setting clear, realistic objectives like losing a specific number of pounds within a defined period. I also cover ways to track progress without becoming obsessed, such as using apps like MyFitnessPal, taking body measurements, and monitoring non-scale victories. Additionally, I highlight the importance of mindset, self-compassion, and avoiding social media comparisons while staying consistent and celebrating small achievements along the way. Ready to crush your health goals? Listen now and start making lasting changes!

Investing in health can lead to a more vibrant, enjoyable retirement. In this episode, I share the personal health investments I've made, like sleep tracking and working with a health coach, each designed to enhance well-being and longevity. Prioritizing health alongside wealth allows us to fully embrace retirement. I detail four key health tools, each with its own costs and benefits. From the Whoop Strap for monitoring sleep quality to MyFitnessPal for tracking nutrition, these tools help create a healthier lifestyle. My biggest investment was a full-body MRI, providing peace of mind and preventive insights—sometimes, the best financial choice is a health choice. To finish, Brett and I answer a listener's question on Roth conversions, covering the best timing to optimize tax efficiency and avoid penalties.

Today, I explore the pros and cons of calorie counting and intuitive eating. Everything you've learned in your years of dieting isn't trash. And everything promoted by the intuitive eating community also isn't a dumpster fire. The problem with both of these methodologies is when they're taken to extremes, soo why not try something in the middle? Something that's actually doable and doesn't bring you so much frustration that you quit every other day? Maybe a detailed step-by-step process that DOESN'T require calorie counting, but DOES involve tracking and being accountable to your eating behavior? And instead of beating yourself up when you're unable to execute your plan to perfection, you take the time to evaluate what happened through reflective journaling so you can practice better the next day? If you're ready to quiet the food noise and crank the dial up on consistent weight loss without updating My Fitness Pal before every meal, we've got you covered!

In this episode of Shift with CJ, host CJ engages in an insightful conversation with Dr. Azri Zakariya, a prominent voice in the health and fitness industry. Dr. Zakariya discusses key strategies for sustainable weight loss, the importance of balanced nutrition, and how to overcome common hurdles like cravings and misinformation.Key Takeaways:1. Calories In vs. Calories Out: Dr. Zakariya emphasizes that the fundamental principle behind weight loss is creating a calorie deficit—burning more calories than consumed. This is a scientific fact, and no diet or exercise regimen can bypass this basic rule.2. Sustainability is Key: Many people fall into the trap of extreme diets or workout programs that aren't sustainable. Dr. Zakariya explains that consistent weight management requires lifestyle changes that can be maintained in the long term.3. The Role of Nutrition: While exercise is important, nutrition plays a larger role in fat loss. Even without intense exercise, a person can lose weight by adhering to a calorie deficit and eating nutrient-dense foods. Proteins and fiber-rich foods should be prioritized to enhance satiety and prevent cravings.4. Cravings and Binge Eating: Dr. Zakariya recommends focusing on adequate sleep and a well-structured eating plan during the day to combat night-time cravings. He suggests intermittent fasting, frontloading protein, and fiber-rich foods as strategies to feel fuller and avoid binge eating.5. Misinformation on Social Media: There's a lot of confusion caused by misleading fitness advice on social media. Dr. Zakariya warns against blindly following fad diets or influencers without understanding the science behind effective weight loss and muscle gain.5 Practical Steps You Can Start Today:1. Track Your Calories: Use an app like MyFitnessPal to get an accurate picture of your daily caloric intake. Combine this with tracking your morning weight to find your maintenance level and adjust your calories accordingly.2. Improve Your Sleep: Poor sleep affects hunger hormones, increasing cravings. Ensure you're getting sufficient, quality sleep to help with weight management and control over cravings.3. Prioritize Protein and Fiber: Make sure your diet includes plenty of lean protein and high-fiber foods, which will help you stay full longer and prevent late-night cravings or overeating.4. Stay Consistent, Not Extreme: Instead of adopting extreme diets, aim for gradual, sustainable changes that you can maintain in the long term. Avoid overly restrictive diets that lead to binge-eating cycles.5. Avoid Misinformation: Focus on scientifically backed approaches, especially when it comes to nutrition and exercise. Be cautious of social media influencers who push fads without real evidence.Dr. Zakariya's advice provides a balanced approach to weight loss and fitness, focusing on long-term sustainability, proper nutrition, and mindfulness around common challenges like cravings and misinformation. Implementing these strategies can lead to healthier, more consistent progress in fitness and well-being.---Dr. Azri Zakariya's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/azri.zakariya/

New health, nutrition and weight loss trends are popping up daily on social media. Many of these fly-by-night trends are simply that, but a new study focusing on the platform TikTok found that these trends may have more of a hold on people than once thought. To expose the inaccurate information being extracted from TikTok, MyFitnessPal, the #1 nutrition and food tracking app, partnered with Dublin City University on a two-part research project called “Health and Nutrition Inaccuracies on TikTok”. Part 1 looked at social media influencers and Part 2 looked at Gen Z TikTok users. Study findings ranged from determining that only about 2% of content being classified as accurate to Gen Z users trusting influencers more if they claim to be qualified dietitians. Tune in to this episode to learn about: · how and where Americans are getting their health information has changed · improving our digital literacy is necessary to make better choices · MyFitnessPal's ‘Nutrition IQ' surveys' key themes and concerning statistics · the Dublin City University 2-part research study · why the study focused on TikTok vs other platforms · preliminary findings from the 2-part study · what the “2% accuracy” finding really means · the positive finding about Gen Z's trust in registered dietitians over unqualified influencers · the importance of licensed professionals helping to champion scientific truth across social media · the mere exposure effect, parasocial effect, and rules of persuasion · how to identify warning signs when scrolling on social media · how RDNs can stay on top of trends and leverage them to create compelling content that is evidence-based · a helpful infographic on ‘How to Spot Questionable Nutrition Tips on Social Media' · if it's ‘safe' to be on TikTok · resources for the public and health professionals Full shownotes, transcript and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/271
