How Body Recomp Works For Regular People Jul 13, 2026

Show notes

#76: The fitness and nutrition content you see online might be real, but it’s not real FOR YOU. Liz and Jamie get into some of the most important stuff you need to know before you recomp, like why 3% better every year (not Hyrox Marathon and 9% body fat by summer) is the unsexy math that actually works, and why “accountability” is NOT the same thing as support. Plus, why “recomp” doesn't have to be your full-time job!

Show notes

#75: The kids are paying attention. So how do we handle it? Liz shares the moment that brought up all the feelings and memories, and she & Jamie tackle the surprisingly tricky question of how (and whether, and when) to talk to our kids about weight, food, and our own body recomposition journeys.

Want to Balance Your Hormones? Listen to This. Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

#74: Dr. Alana Manson, PhD, is a neuroscientist/fertility scientist “hybrid” here to tell us that to truly balance and regulate our hormones, we’ve got to start where nobody else is looking: in the brain, where the “hormone hierarchy” begins.

This conversation is going to change the way you think about your hormones, your fertility, perimenopause, and beyond!.

Don't miss: the toothpick method, the physiologic sigh, and one gadget that actually makes sense to spend your money on.

About Our Guest: Dr. Alana is a PhD scientist and published researcher whose expertise at the intersection of fertility science, neuroscience, and the reproductive microbiome gives her a unique perspective on hormone health that conventional training just doesn’t offer. She works with women with unexplained infertility and those with diagnoses like PCOS/PMOS, low progesterone, luteal phase defect, and beyond.

Every Recomp Plan Is Missing This Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

#73: Body Recomp Series! Liz and Jamie get into the ACTUAL thing that's standing between you and the results you want (and no, it's not your macros). They unpack why “doing it harder” backfires every time, why the negative self-talk spiral keeps you stuck, and how being settled in your body is what finally lets you make changes from solid ground instead of panic. It’s the work nobody wants to do, but that comes for all of us eventually.

Plus: the all-in vs. all-or-nothing difference, why you're actually a creature of rhythm (not "muscle confusion"), and why questioning your “diet identity” might be the thing that actually frees you.

Q&A: I Went Off The (Body Recomp) Rails. How Do I Fix It? Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

#72: Body Recomp Series! Liz and Jamie tackle a listener question that landed at the perfect time: what do you actually do when you've gone completely off the rails for a week? They get into why the real skill isn't staying perfectly on plan when life gets chaotic, and expose the real sh!t-stirrer: the all-or-nothing mindset that turns one missed workout into a long-term catastrophe.

Plus: why committing to less actually beats overachieving, and the sneaky truth about your “vacation self.”

It Was Never About Willpower Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

#70: BODY RECOMP SERIES! If you've ever blamed your willpower for falling off a plan (or falling in to a full box of Cheddar Bunnies), this one's for you! Liz dismantles one of the biggest lies in the health and fitness world: that your results come down to willpower or discipline. The truth? It was never about willpower at all.

Let's unpack what willpower actually is, why every plan you've tried secretly depended on it (which is why they were doomed from the start), and even where GLP-1 medications like Ozempic fit into the picture. You'll walk away understanding what questions your body is ACTUALLY asking…and how to answer them to get what you want.

Show notes

#69: NEW BODY RECOMP SERIES #3! GLP and weight loss peptide prep: ever heard of it? Liz and Jamie talk about where weight loss drugs actually fit into long-term recomp, why the prep work AND the post-GLP work matter way more than people think, and the skills you need whether or not you ever touch a GLP.

Plus: the fear of your own hunger coming back, why "microdosing for all eternity" isn't a plan, Liz's 4/10 framework for the nervous system, and the mindset work everyone wants to skip.
