#65 - How do I lose body fat & get that 'toned' look? with Craig McDonald Sep 22, 2021

Show notes

But Kitty I don't want to look muscular I just want to tone up.

I've had quite a lot of women message me in the last few weeks saying they don't want to lift weights and become to muscular they just want to lose weight and tone up so wouldn't it be better to do pilates, yoga, classes, bootcamps and run??

I went into a store at ferry road a few months ago and the lady said to me "oh you have such a wonderful figure what do you do? running and yoga?"

I get it I used to think the same thing. I spent so many years doing HIIT, bootcamps, running for miles, classes and circuit type workouts trying to lose weight and 'tone up'.

So I thought I'd sit down with @iamcraigmcdonald and discuss exactly what you need to do to lose body fat and 'tone up' in a healthy and sustainable way, what we cover:

👉What does toned actually mean?

👉The difference between weight loss, fat loss and body recomposition

👉How do you build muscle

👉The number one reason most women are not making progress in the gym (getting stronger & building muscle)

👉Why weight isn't always a great indicator of progress

👉How do you know if you're ready for a fat loss phase?

👉What biofeedback and health markers should you be looking at before starting a fat loss phase?

👉Why is reverse dieting important after a fat loss phase?

👉What if I've just had a baby and I'm breast feeding should I do a fat loss phase?

👉What about cardio?

#64 - Getting Back to Basics and Listening to Your Body with Amy Bowe Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

When I first found pro-metabolic eating I had become so out of tune with my body. I wasn't hungry in the morning, so I would skip breakfast. When I was hungry I was scared to eat because I thought I would gain weight. I trained regardless of how I was feeling because again, I thought if I didn't train and do cardio every day I would gain weight.

For 17 years of my life when it came to food I always thought that less was better and when it came to training I always thought that more was better 🤣 and if you've followed me for a while you'll know that it set me up with irregular and painful cycles, poor sleep, digestive issues, my hair was falling out and was obsessed with how I looked, what I weighed plus I was a chronic binge eater. T

hank goodness I found @thenutritioncoach and Ray's work and @iamcraigmcdonald taught me how to strength train.

As I started implementing what I learnt from Emma and Craig I finally got in tune with my body. I learnt how to trust it and listen to what it was telling me. I became better at auto-regulating, eating when I was hungry, pushing hard in training when I felt good and taking rest days when I needed them.

But how do you actually listen to your body and get to a place where you can trust it and auto-regulate? This is exactly what Amy and I discuss in this episode.

Specifically, we chat about:

➡️What does “listening to your body” mean?

➡️How to check in with your body and re-create this connection

➡️Why you need to understand basic science and info about the metabolism

➡️How consistency plays a part and how you can start being consistent

➡️How to plan your training and eating according to how you feel

➡️Why tracking helps during the early stages of re-creating this connection

➡️And more!

#63 - From Paleo, carnivore, fasting & plant based to Pro-Metabolic Eating with Sam Dancer Sep 08, 2021

Show notes

A few months ago I finally connected to this awesome jacked beast Sam Dancer. Sam is a high level CrossFit athlete and just all round awesome guy. Whenever I think of CrossFit, I can’t help but think of paleo 😂 Coincidentally, Sam has actually done paleo, along with carnivore-based eating, plant-based eating, intermittent fasting, and more. Luckily though, he found the light!

So, I thought it’d be really interesting to sit down and chat about his experience with these crazy diets and how that impacted his training and life, as well as how pro-metabolic eating has changed his life.

In this episode, we talk about:

➡️Changes in his energy levels and mood during his extreme dieting days and how it affected his training

➡️What medications he was prescribed during this time for thyroid issues and more

➡️How going pro-metabolic improved his training and performance

➡️Tips on how to transition from paleo to pro-metabolic eating

➡️What are the things you can measure to determine if pro-metabolic eating is working for your body or not

➡️And more!

#61 - The real cause of insulin resistance and diabetes with Georgi Dinkov Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

Many of you who follow me will already know Georgi but for those who don't he is an IT professional by day and researcher by night focusing on biochemistry and physiology. He is also the founder of http://www.idealabsdc.com/ and has an amazing range of pro-metabolic supplements.

If you've followed me for a while you'll know I've cycled through nearly every diet out there. For 17 years of my life I tried to cut all sugar from my diet including fruit and juice. I get so many comments on my posts saying “sugar causes diabetes” and “sugar causes insulin resistance.”

So I thought I'd sit down with Georgi and address some of these misconceptions.

In this episode, we discuss:

➡️What is insulin resistance

➡️What actually causes insulin resistance and diabetes (hint it's not sugar)

➡️The role chronic stress has in diabetes and insulin resistance

➡️What happens when you go low calorie and/or low carb

➡️What dietary changes can a diabetic or someone who suffers from insulin resistance make to improve their condition

➡️Glycine’s relationship with insulin

➡️The supplements Georgi recommends to help improve insulin resistance

➡️And more!

#60 - The voice in our head and how to harness it with Ethan Kross Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

How many times has the voice in your head led you down a rabbit hole of negative self talk?

"I’m not good enough"

“I’m not smart enough”

"I can't do this"

"I’ll fail"

“I’m fat"

“I hate my body”

I've definitely had times where I've doubted myself, times when the negative voices have crept in and taken over my thoughts.

These silent conversations are so powerful. They affect our mood, how we feel about ourselves, they can stop us from taking action and they can affect our health.

One of my favourite books on how to harness these inner voices is called Chatter, written by acclaimed psychologist Ethan Cross. I loved it so much I thought I'd get him on the show to talk more about these inner voices and share some of the tools you can use to harness them so you can be happier, healthier and more productive.

More specifically we discussed:

➡️What is “Chatter”?

➡️Managing “Chatter”

➡️Rituals to manage those voices

➡️Success and mindset

➡️Using language to change your mindset

➡️How it takes practice to overcome that negative self-talk

➡️Controlling a thought vs dealing with thoughts that pop up in your head

➡️And more!

Her husband has also been on the journey with her and lost 25kgs...without eating 1200 calories, cutting sugar, carbs or doing a tonne of cardio.

➡️Her history with endometriosis, PCOS, and extreme dieting

➡️The shame she felt and a lot of women might also feel around binge eating

➡️How empowering strength training is and the role it played in her journey

#57 - Why it matters what you put on your skin with Emma Sgourakis Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

Emma and I have known each other and worked together for years now. I met her around the same time I met my partner, Craig.

A few years ago I messaged Emma saying I was thinking about doing skincare (we’d had so many discussions about how there just weren’t any good brands or lotions without nasties or PUFA's in them). Emma asked me if I wanted a business partner and the rest is history. It's been a long road with the skincare. We've been at it for nearly two years now!! We ended up changing formulators in the end so we could get the product just right.

It was worth the wait because we have the final samples and it should be coming out in the next few months. We’re on the homestretch now, and we are so excited to release these products (finally!!). We have also started formulating makeup. A foundation, lip/cheek tint and bonzer. They will be free from iron oxide, silicones, PUFA, titanium dioxide, aluminium and mineral oil...the first of their kind in the market.

With that on the horizon, Emma and I decided to sit down and discuss skincare. We talk about:

➡️What you need to know about the skin

➡️What happens when you place these chemicals/endocrine disruptors on your skin

➡️What happens when you put PUFA's on your skin

➡️Why many of the skin products labelled “anti-aging” are doing the complete opposite

➡️How the skin looks after itself and skincare should be about supporting it

➡️What products we use around the house and on our skin currently
