#77 - There's more to healing than a pro-metabolic diet with Kate Deering Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

In this podcast, Kate and I get deep and personal. We share aspects of our stories and how emotional stress and our thoughts have affected health.

A lot of women think if they get their training and nutrition down pat, everything will be great.....and yes it's a great start and definitely foundational when it comes to healing but there is more to health than just the physical.

So, if you’re doing everything right but things aren’t falling into place like you thought, give this episode a listen.

You aren’t alone. We all struggle, we experience shame, and beat ourselves up from time to time.

The truth is there is ALWAYS going to be stress in your life, and finding ways to build our resilience and navigate through it is so important for obtaining health, happiness, and balance.

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.

#76 - Update to falling pregnant at 40 with Kitty Blomfield Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

This is the first solo podcast I’ve ever done!

I wanted to do this to provide a quick update on my falling pregnant at 40 journey. I’ve had so many people ask me how it’s going and to share more about it so I thought I’d hop on and update everyone.

The 18 months have been one of self-discovery, to say the least.

When I set my sights on something, I’m all in, and trying to fall pregnant was no different....which in this case was to my detriment.

This is one of the most raw and vulnerable podcasts I've ever recorded.

I share everything from my anxiety, to sleepless nights, to feeling like a complete failure.

#75 - Constipation is a metabolic issue with Emma Sgourakis Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

It’s probably best if you aren’t eating for this one. So, put your fork down and get ready to find out how you can improve the all-too-common problem of constipation and start pooing regularly.

Prior to meeting Emma, I actually wouldn’t go to the bathroom for 2-3 days at a time. I just thought this was normal (it’s not), and I see so many women having the same issue. But really, there’s nothing more satisfying than a good poo! You just feel lighter and less weighed down. There are also a heap of reasons why it’s important to go regularly.

In this episode, we talk about:

➡️ How constipation is linked to low metabolic function

➡️Why it’s important to have one or more bowel movements per day

➡️What happens when you don’t go

➡️Why common recommendations to improve constipation don’t actually fix the root cause

➡️Tips for improving digestion and eliminating constipation

➡️What foods you should reduce

➡️The importance of movement and sun for regular bowel movements

➡️The special foods that can remove excess estrogen and endotoxins from the intestines and act like a scrubbing brush

➡️Stress and how it affects your bowel movements and digestion

➡️Using magnesium and cascara for constipation

#74 - Losing 14kgs & beating Hashimotos with Margie and Sarah Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

Many women who struggle with autoimmune conditions make things worse by doing all the crazy diets as they try to lose weight and feel better. This is why I wanted to have Margie (a long-time client turned big sister in the WinAtLife program) and her niece, Sarah, on the podcast.

Both Margie and Sarah have autoimmune conditions. Margie has spondylosis arthritis, and Sarah has Hashimotos. Yet, they’ve both managed to put their autoimmune conditions into remission.

Looking at Margie, you would have no idea she is 56 years old. She has amazing skin, great hair, and looks incredible (which she attributes to all the liver, collagen, oysters, and other great food she’s been eating). Sarah is a 36-year-old, single mum, who is studying part-time, and so far, has lost 14 kgs in our program. What these two women have achieved is so amazing, so I wanted to get them on here and share their incredible stories in hopes to inspire others to do the same.

In this episode, we chat about:

➡️Margie and Sarah’s individual journeys

➡️What they eat on a day to day basis

➡️How many calories they are eating day to day (the answer might surprise you)

➡️The changes they have made and how they have shifted their mindset to play the long game

➡️How tracking their food has been key in their success

➡️How they train and the type of cardio they do daily

➡️Advice for women just starting this journey

➡️And tips for women who are struggling with being consistent.

#73 - Misconceptions surrounding Peri-menopause and Menopause and what your doctor didn't tell you with Kate Deering Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

Our friend Kate Deering, the author of Heal Your Metabolism and just all round awesome human, is back! If you haven’t read her book How to heal your metabolism I highly recommend it.

We attract women of all ages into our Winatlife program but a large chunk of them are in their 40's and 50's and many of them suffer from perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.

Things like hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness and weight gain.

Through diet and lifestyle changes we've not only helped them improve all their symptoms but also lose weight.

They didn't have to cut sugar, carbs, dairy or do a tonne of cardio to get these results.

Kate is almost 50 years old, and I turned 40 in January this year. So, we decided to sit down and talk about what is actually happening in the body during this time, the misconceptions surrounding it, what your doctor didn't tell you and how to support the body during this time of life.

In this episode, we discuss:

➡️What is perimenopause? What is menopause?

➡️Symptoms of perimenopause and menopause (and what is actually going on)

➡️What hormones increase/decrease under stress

➡️How certain diets, over-exercising, and more cause stress

➡️The estrogen misconception

➡️Hormone replacement therapy

➡️The importance of progesterone

➡️What should women in perimenopause and menopause do to support their bodies

➡️Foods that are beneficial for women during this time

➡️Why gradual changes are key

➡️How and why strength training is beneficial during perimenopause and menopause

➡️Being realistic when it comes to the time it takes to improve symptoms

➡️And more!

#72 - Debunking Common Preconception and Pregnancy Myths with Loren & Brit Nov 10, 2021

Show notes

A few months ago I sat down with Loren and Brit creators of Conscious conception - the ultimate guide to prepping for pregnancy.

I’ve actually had a lot of messages asking me about whether I'm still trying to conceive so I I’m planning to sit down and record a solo podcast in the next few weeks with an big update. It's been a very interesting 12 months, it’s been super challenging and it's probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

So if you’ve been wondering where I'm at look out for that podcast I’ll release it in the next few weeks.

When Brit and Loren released their course I was lucky enough to be one of a handful of people to go through it before it before it was released and I was so impressed.

I often get asked questions about what to eat and how to train not only while preparing for pregnancy but also while pregnant so I thought it would be a great opportunity to get them on to discuss preparing for pregnancy and to debunk some common pregnancy and preconception myths.

I’ve actually had Loren on the podcast to talk about anemia and iron overload so if you haven't listened to that one I highly recommend you do. Brit was actually pregnant during the recording of this podcast and she's now had a beautiful girl named Maya rose.

In this episode, we chat about:

➡️The correlation between health, nutrition, and milk production

➡️Your thyroid hormone levels and the neurodevelopment of your baby

➡️Why the preconception period is so important for pregnancy and after pregnancy

➡️Why pregnancy is stressful on the body

➡️The vitamin A and pregnancy myth

➡️The best multivitamin for women before, during and after pregnancy

➡️What should you know about folic acid and pregnancy

➡️Precautions you may want to take with some foods when pregnant

➡️Does fertility drop with age

➡️Body fat guidelines for fertility

➡️Training and lifting during pregnancy and

➡️What is a reasonable timeframe to lose the baby weight

#71 - Are you a woman killing herself to have it all? with Jim Bostock Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

We met Jim 7 years ago when Craig had a shoulder issue no one could fix.

I remember it got so bad he stopped all upper body training for months. He saw numerous physios and specialists and no one could give him an answer or provide any relief from the pain.

A friend referred us to Jim and within 3 visits Craig was pain free and back training.

Jim is a physio by trade but has developed a nerve lock release therapy to treat pain. He's worked with numerous high profile athletes and celebrities not only in Australia but around the globe.

We’ve sent 100's of people to Jim over the last 7 years, including my own mother and brother in law.

I’ve done a podcast with Jim previously and when I went out to our audience asking who they wanted me to interview, Jim was on the list.

Through his work he gets to talk with women who often share how unhappy they are in their relationships, career and life and struggle to do it all, especially when they have kids.

So we thought we’d get together and talk about relationships, communication and why women are killing themselves to have it all.

Specifically we talk about:

➡️How to communicate in a relationship so each person is satisfied

➡️The overlapping of masculine and feminine roles today and how this can increase stress

➡️How sacrifices may need to be made to truly be happy

➡️Finding a balance between work and kids

➡️How to put your ego aside for honest and truthful communication

#70 - Healing pounds: Are they necessary and how much is too much? with Libby Wescombe and Craig McDonald Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

One thing I love about the pro-metabolic community is that I’ve made so many new friends.

Everyone is just so friendly and supportive, probably because they eat carbs and sugar 🤣

I’ve actually got this great chat group going in Whatsapp with @libbywescombe, @amykatebowe and @leilalutz.

I've had all of them on the podcast so if you haven't listened to their episodes I recommend you do.

They’re not only super knowledgeable but just awesome women.

We pretty much chat daily and I often hear Libby and Craig have little rants about the same things which makes me laugh 🤣

But in all seriousness I love how passionate and knowledgeable they are about all things training and body composition change.

One thing I hear both of them talk about quite a lot is all the women that come into their programs who have gained a lot of weight after transitioning to a pro-metabolic diet because they believe they need healing pounds.

So I thought I ‘d get them on to talk about healing pounds and more specifically:

➡️What are healing pounds?

➡️When are they necessary?

➡️When are they unnecessary and how can you limit fat gain when shifting to a pro-metabolic diet

➡️Why eating more isn’t always the answer

➡️Why tracking your food intake is so important if you want to limit fat gain

➡️How to shift your mindset around food tracking if you find it restrictive or can’t be consistent

➡️They type of training you should be focusing on if you want to limit fat gain

➡️The misconception that women will look too muscular with weight training

➡️One of the biggest reasons women aren’t making progress in the gym

➡️Why standardising reps is important

➡️How walking/aerobic activity helps recovery and the type of cardio every woman should be doing daily

➡️Why it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach and where many women go wrong when shifting to a pro-metabolic diet

So if you’re a woman who’s struggled with fat gain when moving to a pro-metabolic diet you’ll love this episode.

#69 - Plant based diets: Are they the healthy choice or just a front for disordered eating with Chlo Catherine Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

Chlo is a Dynamic Eating Psychology Coach and Therapeutic Nutrition Counselor. She has an inspiring story and comes from a pretty intense vegan and disordered eating background. She spent 11 years battling her body suffering from orthorexia, anorexia, amenorrhea and exercise addiction.

Once she found pro-metabolic eating and added animal products back into her diet she got her period back, restored her metabolism and transformed her relationship with food.

Today, Chlo lives on this huge property in California with her family. They make their own jam and have their own beehives and chickens.

She’s super passionate about helping women heal their relationship with food and their bodies, restore their metabolisms, break free from restrictive diets and get their periods back.

I get a lot of questions from women about going vegan or plant based so I thought I'd get Chlo on the show to discuss the downfalls of these diets and why they really aren't that healthy.

In this episode, we chat about:

➡️The nutritional deficiencies that are most common with plant based diets and the nutrients that are only found in animal products

➡️Why animal foods are superior when it comes to protein

➡️The dangerous idea that what you eat makes you a good or bad person

➡️How we’ve accidentally started equating low calories to meaning “healthy”

➡️Why nuts aren’t the best in large amounts

➡️If you can’t tolerate something like dairy you need to ask yourself why your body can’t digest it and fix the root cause and,

➡️Why being flexible with your food is important

#68 - Finding Fulfilment with Vic Hoskin and Nicole Wagner Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

8 years ago I worked on a mine site for a large blue chip mining company. It was a FIFO role where I only worked 5 months of the year, I was paid well and I had amazing benefits.

BUT I wasn't happy, I didn't feel fulfilled and I knew I needed to leave but I felt trapped because I was paid so well and I was scared to start again.

Then I met Craig and found we had a shared love for training and nutrition PLUS he was also unhappy in his job.

So after 6 months together we decided to buy into a failing gym and leave our current jobs.

Some people thought I was crazy 🤣

Things didn't work out with our business partner so we bought her out and I remember lying in bed one night thinking what the Fk have I done 🤣

In the last 8 years we’ve lost money and made many mistakes, but we came out the other side, we put the work in, and today, we have the privilege of being able to do what we’re passionate about.

I love helping other women, and I can truly say that our company and our work bring me so much fulfillment in my life. Yes it's stressful at times and of course it has it's ups and downs but I wouldn't change a thing.

Have you ever felt unfulfilled in your work? In life?

I know many women feel the same so I thought I'd bring on Vic my Ops Mgr and Nicole our Savvi leader to share their stories and talk about finding the courage to make that change and find fulfillment in work and life.

In this episode, we discuss:

➡️Work-life balance and being a working mum

➡️Vic and Nicole’s inspiring stories

➡️How good things can come from making big changes

➡️How you have to make short-term sacrifices for long-term gains

➡️Why you need to take responsibility for the choices you make

➡️And more!
