Feeling overwhelmed by all the food rules out there? Low carb, high protein, no sugar, “clean eating” (whatever that is). It’s a LOT. In this episode, we’re breaking it all down and having a chat about how to make food choices that actually feel good in your body, support your biking and weight loss goals, and don’t make you miserable in the process.

You’ll learn why labeling food as “good” or “bad” doesn’t work, how to stop giving food all the power, and simple ways to test and figure out what works for you.

Yes—there’s room for veggies and Doritos in your meal plan. And no, you don’t have to (nor SHOULD you) give up carbs to ride your bike or lose weight.

If you’ve been struggling to eat “right,” this episode will help you breathe a little easier, find what feels good, and enjoy food again without the guilt.

Trying to lose weight and get stronger on the bike? Feeling overwhelmed by everything you “should” be doing — like riding more, eating better, strength training, and somehow managing the rest of your life, too?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make on your biking and weight loss journey: prioritizing what is most important to YOU. You’ll hear how I personally used this strategy to drop 50 pounds, and why picking a single priority (and giving yourself permission to shift it) is the key to long-term success.

Whether your top focus right now is weight loss, riding more, or just surviving a busier season, this episode will help you get clear on what matters most.

Tune in to learn…

• Why trying to do everything at once can lead you to getting overwhelmed and give up on your goals
• The truth about how your priorities shift through different seasons of life (and why this is totally OK!)
• How to block out the noise and focus on what you want most
• Why clarity brings progress

In this episode of the Biking Wellness Podcast, Stacy dives into what it means to have a healthy, intentional relationship with the scale while trying to lose weight riding your bike.

• Why BMI is outdated and flawed
• And how to track progress in way more meaningful ways

Tired of calorie counting, food tracking, and all the complicated rules that make weight loss feel like a second job? In this episode of the Biking Wellness Podcast, I’m breaking down why meal planning (not dieting!) is the key to losing weight while biking—and actually enjoying the process.

When I lost 50 pounds riding my bike, I didn’t count a single calorie or track a single macro. Instead, I made a simple, doable food plan each day of foods I actually like.

What we discuss in this episode:

• Why calorie counting is exhausting—and teaches you to ignore your hunger
• How a simple daily plan removes the guesswork
• The key to avoiding emotional eating and late-night pantry raids
• How planning helps you learn what works (and what doesn’t)
• Why a quick plan helps you let go of all or nothing thinking

Whether you're just getting back on the bike or looking for a sustainable way to feel better in your body, this episode will show you how to make food work for you—not against you.

There are SO many reasons why you might not have been riding your bike in a while. Maybe you took some time off the bike or you only ride indoors during the winter months.

Or, perhaps you had an injury that sidelined you for a bit, and couldn’t ride on doctors orders. Perhaps you haven’t felt like it, or you have been moving your body in a different way.

OR, it could be that you just don’t have a bike to ride right now and haven’t ridden since you were a kid! I know that was me for a while too! 

Whatever reason, sometimes you just need to find your way back on the bike. In this episode of the Biking Wellness Podcast we are going to talk all about what you need to do to prepare your mind and body to get back on the bike.
