Wits & Weights | Fat Loss, Nutrition, & Strength Training for Lifters

Ep 79: How to SOLVE the Fat Loss Puzzle (Hormones, Gut Health, & Stress) with Allie Cass


Listen Later

Today I have a very special guest with me. Her name is Allie Cass, and she is a former bodybuilding pro turned functional health and fitness coach who helps stressed-out women optimize their metabolism, up-level their mindset, and shift from surviving to thriving. Allie will share her unique perspectives on health and fitness, the importance of the mind-body connection in overcoming health challenges, and how to up-level your mindset to achieve your goals.

You'll learn about the fat-loss conundrum—where hormones, gut health, and stress intersect—and practical strategies for optimizing these. We will explore topics like body positivity, self-improvement, and self-love.

Allie is the founder of Allie Cass Health and the Metabolic Makeover, an online immersion program that teaches women how to reclaim their health, heal their metabolism, ditch self-sabotage, and create a life of strength and vitality. She’s an advocate for self-love, becoming your best self through mind-body health, and living a life fully alive!
