In this short episode I share their real discoveries and why tracking might be the most useful thing you've never tried. Enjoy the show!

#166 | FAQs Nutrition & Weight Loss

Spring is here, which means a lot of midlife women are thinking about losing a few pounds before bikini season. In this Q&A I answer four of the most common weight loss questions I get from midlife women:  1. I've started eating more protein and lifting weights, but my weight is going UP. What's going on? 2. I'm eating clean. Why am I not losing weight? 3. How do I track meals like stews and soups when every serving has a different mix of ingredients? 4. How do I choose a good protein powder, and how do I tell if it's actually high in protein? Enjoy the show!

#164: Will You Look Like Me If You Do My Program?

Someone commented on my latest reel: "Show me your legs. I want to know if your program is going to get my legs in shape too." That one comment opened up something I've been wanting to talk about for a long time. Because fitness influencers everywhere are using their bodies as "proof" that their programs work. The implied promise is: 'Do this workout, look like me.' And most of them will never pull back the curtain on what's actually going on behind the scenes. In this episode, I'm getting completely honest about what you can actually expect. I talk about the role of genetics, fat distribution, what those before-and-after photos aren't showing you, and why comparing your results to anyone else's is a trap. I'm also sharing the honest truth about my own results and why my upper body is outpacing my legs. If you've ever looked at a fit woman online and wondered, "Could I look like her?", this one is for you. Enjoy the show!
