Is wellness the new purity ring? In part 2 of Gender War Games, host Cristen Conger and trainer Cadence Dubus breaks down how body control, aesthetic discipline, and "clean" femininity are being sold as self-care—while reinforcing the same old patriarchal power structures. From the rise of Ozempic and disordered wellness trends to body shame masquerading as moral virtue, what happens when femininity and fitness become political battlegrounds where women are expected to be skinny, soft, and silent?(00:00) Your Body Is a Battleground (00:52) The New Right's Body Ideals(01:23) The Wellness Grind(03:16) Functional Strength > Weight-Loss Goals(05:48) Women's Fitness Mirage(11:13) The Ozempic Effect(15:18) America's Health Hierarchy(17:28) Politicized Exercise(21:15) Class, Wealth and Commodified Wellness(28:29) What's a Body to Do?For ad-free bonus episodes and uncut guest interviews, visit patreon.com/unladylikemedia.

Dr. Pallin emphasizes why focusing on metabolic health, body composition, and sustainability is far more important than the number on the scale.Personal UpdateDr. Pallin reflects on her experience guiding patients through long-term weight management. She shares how setting realistic expectations from day one helps individuals avoid frustration and embrace their progress. She also highlights why metabolic adaptation plays a crucial role in maintaining results and why many patients need to shift their mindset around goal-setting.Episode BreakdownIntroduction to the EpisodeOverview of Dr. Diana Pallin's expertise in obesity medicineWhy long-term weight loss success depends on realistic expectationsThree Common Weight Loss ScenariosUnrealistic Goals & The Expectation GapWhy many patients aim for goals that medical management alone cannot achieveHow metabolic adaptation limits extreme weight loss through medical treatmentThe importance of a sustainable, stepwise approach to weight lossReaching a Goal But Wanting MoreThe psychological struggle of “never feeling like you've arrived”How metabolic health improves beyond just weight lossStrategies to help patients accept and celebrate their progressSurpassing Expectations & The Rare “Unicorn” CasesWhen patients exceed their own expectations through metabolic healingThe importance of focusing on body composition rather than weight aloneWhy strength training, protein intake, and sustainable habits are keyUnderstanding Body Composition & Setting Realistic GoalsThe difference between weight, muscle mass, and body fat percentageWhy the “I, C, and D” body composition models help set expectationsThe importance of body recomposition over extreme weight lossMetabolic Adaptation & The Role of MedicationWhy long-term maintenance is about more than just losing weightHow GLP-1 medications impact metabolic adaptationThe balance between medical intervention, nutrition, and lifestyle changesKey TakeawaysWeight loss goals should be based on body composition, not just weightMetabolic adaptation affects long-term success and sustainabilityMany patients set unrealistic goals—focusing on overall health leads to better outcomesThe journey doesn't stop at weight loss—it evolves into lifelong maintenanceTimestamps00:00:00 - Introduction and Dr. Pallin's background00:04:15 - The three common weight loss scenarios00:12:30 - The impact of unrealistic goals on success00:19:45 - Understanding body composition and metabolic health00:26:30 - How medications help with long-term weight management00:32:15 - Key takeaways and next episode previewDr. Ali's 48-CMENutrition Training Program is enrolling now!

Whenever you're going after your specific goals, you have two paths or approaches that you can take. One is low-stress, leads to progress, and will be so much more rewarding and fun. The other seems right, but it's actually a stressful, all-or-nothing, race to some imaginary finish line that you've created in your head. The question is - which approach are you unknowingly taking? If you're taking the wrong approach, then achieving your goals becomes unnecessarily hard. If you're taking the better approach, you'll not only achieve your goals, but change your life in the process. In this episode, I explain these two “paths” and help you figure out which one you've been doing. Plus, I give specific next steps to help you identify and overcome the roadblock between you and your goals.

Have you ever wondered - what do I really hope to gain from losing? Do I just want to lose weight?? Or is there more to it than that?There are 6 distinctly different categories of physical improvement. There definitely can be crossover with these, but make no mistake, they are different. In today's episode, I will explain these 6 categories, so that you can better understand exactly what it is you hope to gain from losing weight. Because . . . The real secret to true weight loss success that will make you amazingly happy is … knowing what you really want. A lot of people THINK they know, but they end up burnt out or disappointed - EVEN IF they achieved great results. This is also a big reason that some people repeatedly struggle to lose weight or just gain it right back. It's because, even though they don't realize it, just losing weight is not what they really want. They want something more. Or maybe they want something quite different, beyond just losing weight. It's time to find clarity. It's time for you to determine what you REALLY want to gain from losing weight.

Podcast Summary: Mindset Shifts for Weight Loss Goals Over 40 In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams dives into the critical mindset shifts needed for achieving weight loss goals, especially for those over 40. Drawing from his personal journey, Brad reflects on his challenges with fasting, maintaining a caloric deficit, and balancing his fitness goals with an active social life. Lessons from Fasting and Weight Loss Fasting has been a core part of Brad's approach, including intermittent fasting and occasional longer fasts. As his body fat decreased, fasting became more difficult, leading to irritability, fatigue, and diminished energy from ketosis. Brad emphasizes the importance of proper hydration, electrolytes (like Himalayan sea salt), and knowing personal limits. Mindset Strategies for Success Staying mentally engaged during fasting is crucial to avoid fixating on food. Brad highlights the value of working on time-intensive projects, like his new online school program, as a productive distraction. For those balancing work and fasting, finding tasks that keep you focused can be a game-changer. The Importance of Accountability Accountability is key for overcoming plateaus or staying consistent. This could mean joining groups, finding a fitness buddy, or hiring a coach. Brad encourages listeners to leverage resources like Facebook groups, podcasts, or microlearning to stay motivated. Action Plan for Success Write down your goals, current actions, and future steps in a journal. Create a realistic timeline and commit to daily actions that align with your goals. Cultivate a "no-quit" mindset—visualize your success as inevitable and take consistent action to make it happen. Brad wraps up by urging listeners to prioritize accountability and mindset as the foundation for lasting fitness results. He invites his audience to join his Facebook group for more resources and updates on his upcoming school program. Takeaway: A strong mindset and proactive strategies are essential for achieving weight loss goals over 40. Stay focused, stay accountable, and take action today.

Podcast Summary: Reaching the Finish Line of Your Weight Loss Goal In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams focuses on how to hit those final weight loss milestones, whether that's reaching single-digit body fat, a target weight, or both, all while maintaining a social life. Brad shares his personal goal of hitting 190 pounds by New Year's Eve and provides actionable tips and strategies for anyone looking to finish strong before the year ends. Strength Training Tweaks: Stick to effective three-day-a-week workouts (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). Push each rep to failure using a "time under tension" approach for maximum impact. Add movement or cardio every day, even on weight training days, to increase calorie burn. Recovery Enhancements: Incorporate cold plunges before workouts (e.g., 4-minute plunges in 50°F water) to reduce soreness, improve joint health, and possibly boost testosterone. Fine-Tuning Nutrition: Use tools like Chronometer and Whoop to track deficiencies and caloric burn. Address nutritional gaps with whole foods first (e.g., carrots for Vitamin A) and supplements when necessary (e.g., psyllium husk for fiber). Modify eating patterns for off-days to "shock" the body, such as eating earlier in the day to prevent metabolic adaptation. Stress and Recovery Management: Monitor stress levels using fitness trackers and implement diaphragmatic breathing post-workout to promote recovery. Identify and mitigate unexpected stressors (e.g., disrupted sleep or daily routines) to optimize overall health. Accountability and Community: Brad invites listeners to join his fitness journey through his Facebook group, fostering a sense of community and mutual motivation. This episode is packed with practical advice for anyone striving to achieve their weight loss goals without sacrificing their lifestyle. Brad's commitment to testing these strategies himself ensures the recommendations are effective, safe, and approachable.
