516. Muscle Building Mistakes Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

Most women focus on losing fat/weight, when gaining muscle is just as important. There are many mistakes and misconceptions when building lean muscle and we are talking about them on this episode!

514. Does Healing Take 6 Months? Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Let's talk about the timeline for regulating hormones, losing weight, and healing your symptoms. I run both 12 week and 6 month programs and it's important to discuss expectations for results during these parameters. We are so comfortable with the fact that a broken bone may take months to heal, but expect our hormones and weight to respond differently! Most women experience immediate positive changes, but a complete transformation takes more time AND there are often ups and downs along the way. In this episode I share more about what to expect during a health transformation and where to get started!

513. How Do You Distract Yourself? Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

Let's talk about distractions... distractions from our goals and progress. Digging into distractions, coping mechanisms and barriers is the key to creating habits for long term success without getting derailed. Hormone balance, weight loss, muscle growth - all of it takes consistency and distractions often get in the way. In order to get something you've never had, you have to get something you've never done.

512. Are You Wired But Tired? Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

Many women experience feeling wired but tired at the same time - exhausted, yet you can't relax or rest. This is often related to cortisol and other hormone issues, so it's a bigger deal than just feeling tired. In this episode, we will dive into the hormones at play, why this happens and ways to find consistent energy and hormone balance.

511. PCOS Types & Testing Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

Polycystic ovary syndrome impacts many women but there are variations of how this manifests in the body. I had horrific ovarian cysts myself, so it was a big motivation to heal my body from the inside out! Many practitioners don't know how to deal with PCOS and often tell women to go on medication or hormones or "just lose weight." In this episode, I discuss PCOS types and how to test for them!

510. Why Protein Is So Important Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

We are talking about protein again?! YES. Protein is one of the big keys to restoring energy, hormone balance, muscle gain and fat loss. Most women that I work with are not eating enough protein, especially after dieting or calorie restriction. Keep in mind that everyone's protein needs are different! In this episode, I cover a few stories of women who increased their protein and saw amazing results.

509. Am I In Perimenopause? Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

When looking at hormones, perimenopause or menopause symptoms can be confusing! Some women lose their period/cycle and assume they are perimenopausal, when really a number of things can play into this. Genetic and health factors also play a big role, and some women CAN go into menopause in their late 30's/early 40's. This episode dives into all things menopause and how to determine what's going on with your hormones!

508. Flexible Nutrition For Your Hormones Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

One of the biggest lies told to women is that restricting calories and eating the same amount every single day will make them skinny. Not only does this NOT work, it causes many women to gain weight, lose muscle, binge eat and put stress on their hormones! In this episode, I want to highlight why low calorie and inflexible nutrition doesn't work for women and how you can eat FOR your hormones and feel your best.
