#237 - Losing 10kgs, fixing her bloating, migraines and getting her energy back with Maree Johns Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

Many women don’t talk about their disordered eating past. But I’m beginning to believe that it’s more common than we might think… For instance, Maree - one of our gorgeous clients - started restricting her food and throwing up when she was in her teens, keeping it a secret for a really long time.

However, she’s come a long way since then! She's lost 10kgs, improved her digestive issues, energy, cycle issues and confidence!

In our latest episode, Maree talks about her incredible transformation and how her life has changed since joining our program 16 weeks ago.

Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.

#236 - The importance of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K with Margaret Barry Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

Have you been caught in the trap of eating strictly chicken and veggies for lunch and dinner? Are you confused about what “nutrient-dense foods” even are?

This podcast episode is for you! We have Margaret Barry back on the podcast talking about everything fat-soluble vitamins related.

I remember when I was “eating clean” (back in my dieting days), I ate so many salad, nuts, seeds, egg whites, grains, and protein powder, and cut out sugar, dairy and most carbs thinking I was doing the right thing. But surprise… The fitness industry led us astray again!
