Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In today's solo episode, I dive into Why Performance + Inputs Matter More Than The Scale (Performance Recomp Method Now Open)I share why obsessing over every calorie or daily scale change keeps you spinning your wheels, and what to focus on instead: performance in the gym, recovery, fueling properly, managing stress, and consistency with movement. These are the inputs that actually drive long-term results, not micromanaging numbers that fluctuate day to day.If you've been stuck despite training hard or dieting strictly, this episode is for you!Let's talk about:IntroductionAdding protein too early in the dayUnderfueling & poor training performanceInputs that actually drive progressPerformance Recomp Method Enrollment AnnouncementFollow me on Instagram for more information and education: @jeffhoehn_FREE 30 Min Strategy Call: HEREBody Recomp Checklist 2.0 HERENutrition Periodization Masterclass: HEREHow You Can Work With Me?: HERECoaching application: HEREBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: HERE
On today's episode, I sit down with Jenna who is a busy physician assistant that found herself stuck after gaining weight after getting married and her honeymoon phase. Between 10-hour shifts, long commutes, and social events, Jenna wondered if it was even possible to feel good in her body again without dieting rules taking over her life. What changed everything? Learning how to fuel her metabolism strategically while still making room for real life. In just 6 months, Jenna has lost 22 pounds (and counting) inside our program — all while traveling, enjoying date nights, and keeping up with her demanding work schedule. In this episode, Jenna opens up about: ✔️ The reality of weight gain after big life transitions (and why intuitive eating wasn't enough for her ultimate fat loss goals) ✔️ The simple nutrition shifts that actually sped up her results without cutting out her favorite foods ✔️ How she fits exercise and meal prep into 10-hour workdays without stress ✔️ The mindset shifts that helped her enjoy pizza, cocktails, and even eating out on vacations while still losing weight If you've ever wondered how to balance fat loss with a career, marriage, social life, and a busy work schedule, Jenna's story will show you it's 100% possible. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes:

Perimenopausal weight loss may seem daunting to some. We hear so much more about perimenopausal weight gain and weight loss resistance. If you've learned diets don't work the hard way, you'll identify with my guest. What you may not realize is why the diet isn't working. A whole food, healthy diet will often work for most. But it won't work if that isn't the problem. My guest in this episode overcame a stressful corporate existence, and thanks in part to the pandemic, was able to leave that and 80 lbs behind. Here is how she achieved her 80lb perimenopausal weight loss in this episode.

Feeling like your body's working against you in your 40s? You're eating clean, working out harder than ever, and yet… the weight just won't budge. Your energy's low, sleep is off, and your doctor says it's “just hormones” or “normal aging.” But here's the truth: You're not broken—and you don't have to accept that answer. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really happening in perimenopause, why so many women feel dismissed by traditional advice, and how foundational strategies like strength training, blood sugar balance, and stress recovery can completely change the game. You'll learn: Why “eat less and move more” doesn't work in perimenopause. What your OB-GYN may not be trained to address. The 3 key levers that actually support your hormones: muscle, metabolism, and nervous system care
