#274 - Building muscle, losing body fat and improving her digestion with Lauren Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

This week I interviewed one of our amazing clients from the UK. Lauren shares her transformative journey with us, from feeling stuck in a cycle of restrictive diets and crappy training programs to embracing a lifestyle that has her eating more, training smartly, and seeing remarkable changes. Despite her love for food and skepticism about the program, Lauren went all in, tackling bloating issues, and learning the importance of balanced nutrition and resistance training for sustainable weight loss.

Lauren achieved an incredible loss of nearly 17 inches off her body measurements while gaining lean muscle mass, showcasing the power of focusing on body composition rather than just weight loss. The program has taught her the significance of macronutrients and the value of strength training, especially for women in their 40s.

Lauren highlights how the program has allowed her to enjoy a wide array of foods without feeling deprived, improving her bloating significantly with simple, yet effective dietary tweaks like the famous carrot salad. One of Lauren’s favorite aspects of the program is its family-friendly approach to meals, debunking the myth that healthy eating requires separate meals from the family.

Initially daunted by the gym and mastering the nutrition aspect, Lauren now finds joy in her workouts and is mastering her meal plans, demonstrating that with the right support and commitment, overcoming personal hurdles is entirely possible.

For anyone sitting on the fence about joining the program, Lauren’s message is clear: go for it! The supportive community, expert coaching, and practical, non-restrictive approach to nutrition and exercise have made a significant impact on her life.

#272 - Fasting like a girl with Kate Deering Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of fasting, specifically discussing the book "Fast Like a Girl" by Dr. Mindy Pelz. We explore the science (and the myths) behind fasting, particularly for women. Is fasting the magic bullet for health and weight loss as it's often portrayed?

Kate and I dissect key points from Dr. Mindy's book, challenging popular beliefs about fasting, insulin resistance, and the supposed benefits of a ketogenic diet. We address the crucial role of glycogen, the misunderstood purpose of insulin, and how our bodies truly process and store sugar and fat.

We understand fasting is a hot topic, and it's crucial to navigate this space with accurate information. This episode is packed with eye-opening insights that challenge mainstream narratives about dieting and fasting.

So, if you're curious about how fasting affects your metabolism, or if you're considering incorporating it into your health regimen, this episode is a must-listen!

Join us for this engaging conversation, and let's bust some myths together! Remember, knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health.
