Today we sit down with two esteemed guests AJ Richards and Brooke Ence to discuss agriculture, food supply chain, and their company - Feed the People By the People. AJ (Founder and CEO) and Brooke (Co-Founder and Vice President) are dedicated to ensuring food security for you and your loved ones. Their platform is similar to what Airbnb did for short-term rentals but with a unique twist. Instead of locals listing rooms or homes, they will be posting the food they are raising!
Both AJ and Brooke strongly believe that connecting consumers directly with the ranchers and then “stepping out of the way” is the key to securing our nation's food supply. Feed the People By the People is dedicated to empowering farmers and ranchers across the country and cutting out middlemen to enable direct sales to customers.

In today’s episode, we discuss whether you should cut weight, maintain weight, or gain weight and how to best set yourself up for success going down any of those paths by aligning it with the seasons of the year. Dieting is already an uphill battle as it is, so it may not make sense to be in a fat loss phase in the summer when you have more social events and travel going on. Whereas it may be easier to focus on maintaining your weight or improving skills like intuitive and mindful eating during the summer, winter could be a great time to consider bulking, building muscle, or increasing strength.
Josh and Chris share their personal preferences and approaches while providing lots of insight to help you decide when in the year it’s best to focus on fat loss, maintaining, or gaining depending on your individual goals and the mindset you're in to make it successful.

She shares her story of transitioning from a career in the wine industry to a CrossFit athlete, coach, and gym owner to a nutrition coach at WAG.

In today’s episode, we discuss the importance of having support through your nutrition journey by building a support system within your inner circle. We explain the reasoning for speaking your goals and desires out loud, being open to learning whatever is necessary to reach your goals, setting boundaries with friends and family, recruiting help to stick to your guns in social situations, and posting about your progress online. All of these can foster turning friends and family into pillars of support instead of being roadblocks. We hope these tips are helpful!

Coach Mitch joins us to discuss strategies for successfully managing your nutrition without weighing and tracking your macros. The truth is, it takes time, practice, and effort to truly understand how to listen to your body and know what works for you in order to eat intuitively. It’s our job as nutrition coaches to provide our clients with a framework or “blueprint” that will help them learn how to listen to their bodies to tune into what is “intuitive” for them. We hope these tips and strategies help you achieve your goals and lead to true nutritional freedom!

Let’s talk about eating intuitively.
Maybe you’ve been tracking your food for a while and you’re curious about shifting to a more intuitive way of eating.
Maybe your lifestyle no longer supports precise weighing and tracking.
Maybe you want to get more in touch with your body and trust its signals rather than relying on external measures of success (like hitting your macros and your body weight on the scale).
This kind of shift can feel a little scary. You may have questions like:
“Will I lose all the progress I made while I was tracking food?”
“Can I really trust myself and my body without monitoring my intake?”
“Where does the scale come into play? Should I weigh myself and use that as a marker of progress?”
In our latest episode of the WAG podcast, Adee answers these questions and many more during a live coaching session with former WAG member Klaudia Rossol.
Klaudia spent several months strictly weighing and tracking her food. Since then, she has shifted to intuitive eating. She has come to Adee with concerns about whether intuitive eating is right for her and whether she’s doing it correctly.
If you are curious about intuitive eating and how to trust your body’s signals, you’ll love this episode!

Through many of our nutrition journeys, our focus is on decreasing calories and losing fat. But what happens when you hit a plateau and are already on low calories or when you reach your goals and are happy with your body composition? This is when reverse dieting comes into play.
Reverse dieting is training your body to eat more while maintaining your weight, sounds pretty awesome right?
In this episode, Adee and Micheal go over the reasons reverse dieting can be beneficial, who it’s for, how it works, and what steps you can take. So, if you have plateaued or reached your goals you’ll definitely want to listen in!

Have you ever felt like you were working so hard with your nutrition but not making any progress? Adee and Micheal just may have a solution for you. In this episode, they talk about how when it comes to nutrition, your Swiss Army Knife is the ability to weigh, track and measure your food and hit a certain set of macros.
While strict tracking doesn't have to be forever, learning how to do so for a period of time can help you understand the specific balance of foods your body needs to reach your goals.
And once you nail being strict for a while, it’s much easier to be more lenient with your tracking later on. Listen in as they go through Adee’s personal experience with tracking, what you can learn from it, how to get started and resources to swap to intuitive eating.

Can you really lose weight while eating more? In some cases, yes.
While it’s easy to believe that eating less will help you lose weight, Adee and Michael use this week’s WAG podcast to break down how this might actually work against you. With the science of metabolic adaptation to back them up, they explain how your body actually responds to eating too little.
By the end of the episode, you’ll be able to recognize different scenarios where eating too little becomes an issue and will walk away equipped with four new action steps to take when this occurs.

In this week’s WAG Podcast, Renee Mahail joins Adee for a live coaching call to talk about her past attempts at macro-tracking, the pressure to be perfect, and how you can be in love with your current body and still want change.
As an officer in the US Army, Renee is used to living an active lifestyle but admits she feels her nutrition is holding her back from her goals to be leaner. If you’ve ever struggled with the idea that you have to be perfect in your nutrition approach or wondered how WAG’s “flexible coaching” approach could help you achieve your goals, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the WAG Podcast, WAG coach Brittany Werner joins Michael in a unique conversation about her life and experience living overseas, working in nutrition with children and bariatric clients, finding her home with WAG and now working mostly with working moms.
As a mother of three, Brittany found her passion in working with other moms. She talks about the lessons she’s learned from these momma clients and her understanding that when you’re a caregiver you're giving everything to your kids. This has taught her that if you pull back a little and give a little more to yourself then you can give more to everyone.
Brittany has had an incredibly interesting journey, giving her a unique perspective on different nutrition situations.

Let’s talk about accountability.
We all know it’s a powerful tool. It can come in many forms: a coach, a group, a mentor, an accountabili-buddy.
At WAG, we have a “nutrition pyramid”, and the bottom of the pyramid (i.e. the most important part) is consistency. Accountability is critical in helping us remain consistent. If we know we have to check in with someone on a regular basis, our focus and performance will improve.
In our latest episode of the podcast, Adee and Michael explain why accountability is so critical for achieving your goals (including the psychology behind it). They also outline action steps you can take today to find sources of accountability.

“You'll never sleep again.”
“Breastfeeding is so hard.”
“You’ll never have time for yourself again.”
“You’re going to feel an instant connection with your baby.”
These are just a few of the things other parents started telling Adee and Michael as soon as they found out they were expecting.
But, rather than accepting them as they heard them, they chose to take an approach more suitable to their style and look into ways to make these parenting challenges, well, a little less challenging.
Starting off with their baby in the NICU and the challenges of postpartum feelings weren’t easy. But, together, Adee and Michael found what worked for them and they’re sharing the lessons they learned in this week’s episode. From breastfeeding and sleep to when to let people come visit the baby (and how to let people help), you’ll gain a lot from this episode!

From mindset and diet to how to search for answers, these new parents cover many topics on pregnancy and preparation for labor!

Our latest episode is a recording of a live coaching call Adee had with Kalea Leverette.
Kalea is an actor, singer, dancer and has a background in pageants. Over the years, she’s followed some very restrictive fitness and nutrition regimens.
For example, she’d cut out entire food groups (mainly, carbs) and exercise for multiple hours per day. She paid for personal trainers who gave her lists of foods she could (and could not) eat.
Kalea plans to move to New York City to perform on broadway. She knows her body needs to be strong and fit to handle three-hour-long performances eight or more times per week.
So, she reached out to Adee seeking strategies for remaining disciplined in situations outside her control as well as ways to enjoy healthy eating.
Kalea and Adee have a powerful conversation about topics including:

Not only does Adee use this strategy herself, she also teaches it to all of her clients (including elite athletes like Brooke Wells).

This episode is the first in a series where Michael Cazayoux interviews WAG staff members and coaches.
In this episode, he interviews Taylor Lumpp, our Head of Operations and one of our original coaches. She’s a 64 kg Olympic weightlifter, a multi-time national medalist, and she even won the Arnold Classic this year.
Professionally, Taylor was an FBI agent for 4 years, starting at age 19 (you won’t want to miss hearing about this part of her story!).

Anyone who does shift work (especially overnight shifts!) knows it’s tough to stick to a nutrition program.
Your schedule is constantly changing, your colleagues want to order fast food, and you’re barely getting enough sleep!
In our latest episode of the podcast, you’ll meet Heather. She works three consecutive overnight shifts (while attending nursing school). She’s reached out to Adee for help: she wants to stick to her nutrition plan (including tracking her macros), but it’s extremely challenging with her schedule.
On this live coaching call, Adee helps Heather see that it’s critical to adjust your expectations for nutrition depending on your situation and circumstances. It may not make sense for Heather to eat the same way on days she works compared to days off.
Adee also helps Heather ensure she’s got an optimal sleep routine — essential for anyone doing shift work!

Do you tend to put others’ needs before your own? Do you feel resentful when everyone has been taken care of — except you?
If so, you’ll relate to the latest episode of the WAG podcast
Meet Josh. He’s 29 years old and a soon-to-be first-time dad. Josh applied to be coached live by Adee Cazayoux. This podcast is a recording of their conversation.
Even since COVID emerged, Josh has struggled to be intentional and thoughtful with his nutrition and fitness habits.
And here’s something important to note about him: upon taking the Enneagram personality test, Josh discovered he was a “Two”, which is called “The Helper”.
Josh realized that the description of “The Helper” fits him perfectly: Helpers are selfless, caring humans who put everyone else’s needs before their own. The danger, however, is that Helpers’ own needs will end up last on the list.
This can lead to resentment, disappointment and burnout. Helpers also struggle to set boundaries to protect their own health and wellbeing.
Adee and Josh talk about the reality that, if we set boundaries properly, chances are high that we’ll hurt some feelings. However, the base of our health & wellness “pyramid” must be taking care of ourselves first.
When we feel good about ourselves, it’s easier to set healthy boundaries and have difficult conversations.

Today we’re talking about relationships. More specifically, we’re talking about a helpful tool Adee and Michael have been using to stay connected and maintain a healthy, strong relationship.
The Rule of 3 exercise comes from authors and relationship experts Gay and Katie Hendricks. It’s a series of four questions to be answered with your partner. Each person answers all four questions fully (in a journal), and then you share the answers with each other.
This exercise (which is all about owning what you could be doing to strengthen your relationship and better support your partner) requires a bit of vulnerability. It will ask you to recognize where you could be contributing to some of the conflicts or issues within your relationship.
But ultimately, we know you’ll find this exercise to be empowering and helpful for deepening your connection with your partner.
Try out the exercise and let us know on social media what you think!

This is another special live coaching call where Adee has a conversation with someone who has been experiencing obstacles in their nutrition.
Sonya Chamberlain is 41 years old and owns her own midwifery business. She’s also a competitive CrossFit Master’s athlete and a CrossFit coach.
Sonya has the goal of improving her performance and optimizing her body composition for CrossFit, but she feels unsure about the best nutrition plan for her. She’s picked up plenty of nutrition information from various experts, but no plan has ever felt quite right for her specific, individual needs.
She has come to Adee seeking guidance, and they have a conversation about the power of trusting your own intuition around nutrition. Just because different experts offer a wide variety of (sometimes conflicting!) advice doesn’t mean you have to follow any of it. As Adee explains, it’s okay to trust yourself, try different methods, and make adjustments along the way.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed with nutrition information and unsure what’s best for your specific goals, you’ll love this episode!

Have you ever reached a point in your health & fitness journey where you felt like giving up?
Maybe you felt overwhelmed with nutrition program options and couldn’t determine which one was right for you.
Maybe you tried six different workout programs but couldn’t tell if any of them were actually helping you achieve your body composition goals.
Maybe you got so frustrated with all of this, you wanted to quit entirely!
If you’ve felt this way, you’ll relate to our guest on today’s podcast, Rebecca Rodriguez. She’s tried weighing and tracking her food—but it left her feeling frustrated and restricted. She wondered whether this meant all hope was lost and that she’d never achieve her body composition goals.
Rebecca applied to be coached live by Adee Cazayoux, and this is a recording of their conversation. If you’ve ever felt hopeless or lost around which nutrition program is best for you (and how to stick to it), you’ll love this episode!

In today’s episode, host Michael Cazayoux interviews Ivette Carcas, the Training Director for Working Against Gravity.
Ivette joined WAG as a client in 2014 and began working with Adee as her coach (Adee is still her coach to this day!).
Before that, Ivette trained as a ballet dancer for 27 years (she’s since switched to flamenco). She worked as an architect and has her first Master’s degree in architecture. She’s also a competitive Olympic weightlifter.
For years, Ivette sought a way to work in the nutrition world. So, when Adee offered her a job with WAG, Ivette jumped at the chance.
Since then, Ivette has become WAG’s top coach. She’s in charge of the creation and operation of our WAG Coach Certification.
In this interview, Michael and Ivette talk about the WAG Certification, including how it offers students something that no other nutrition certification offers: digital mentorship.
Certification students get hands-on feedback and support during their completion of the certification and also after graduation. Listen in to hear Ivette outline the most important skills required to be an excellent nutrition coach.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have had to adjust to working from home. It’s very different from working in an in-person, office type of setting.
While working from home, it’s essential to remain productive and focused. But—what if your kids are there? What if your spouse is there? All the chores you could be doing are there, too. There are many opportunities for you to be less productive due to the lack of boundaries between work and home.
At the same time, if you can learn how to be productive while working from home, it provides massive flexibility in time and location—you can work from anywhere with WiFi! Additionally, as more businesses move online, it’s wise to be prepared for this trend to continue.
In this episode of the podcast, Adee and Michael share tips and advice for successfully working from home (including what hasn’t worked well!). They’ll teach you how to create a healthy balance between work and the rest of your life while working from home.

Have you heard about the difference between moderators and abstainers? This is important information to know about yourself when it comes to following any nutrition program.
Put simply, moderators find that occasional indulgence strengthens their commitment to stay on track. Meanwhile, abstainers have trouble stopping eating something once they’ve started–so they do better staying away completely.
There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way–it’s just a matter of knowing which strategy works better for you.
In this episode of the podcast, Adee and Michael explain exactly how to determine which category you fit into. They also offer practical tips for how to use this information to follow through with your nutrition goals. They also discuss what to do if you live with someone in the opposite category of yours.
