Today I’m joined by certified coach Allie Janszen and she helps us unlock the keys to effective fat loss by understanding the powerful role hormones play in our fitness journeys. 

We dive deep into Allie's personal story of shedding 80 pounds over 11 months, where she discovered the magic of nutrition, macro balancing, and personalized workout routines. Her journey serves as a testament to the incredible results achievable when prioritizing healing over hustle.

Allie and I explore insulin's dual role as a blood sugar regulator and fat storage hormone, and discuss Allie's personal battle with insulin resistance linked to PCOS. We also discuss cortisol's influence on energy and stress management, especially crucial for women balancing family responsibilities during perimenopause. With practical tips for balancing blood sugar and insulin, and managing cortisol levels, you will learn how strategic meal timing and lifestyle adjustments can optimize your health.

In this episode, I recount the harrowing experience where I found myself hanging by my hair while zip-lining, realizing my hair had become tangled in the equipment. Luckily thanks to my Faster Way workouts I was able to hang onto the line and avoid causing myself more injury.

I also share some cutting-edge biohacking methods to combat fatigue and inflammation that I am trying. From the importance of hydration and sleep to the intriguing use of a PEMF mat for enhanced recovery, this episode offers practical insights for anyone dealing with injuries or seeking to boost their energy levels.

Join us for a whirlwind journey as we navigate the challenges and unexpected turns of facing two major hurricanes while managing the Faster Way to Fat Loss headquarters in Tampa Bay, Florida. 

Alongside my husband Brandon, we recount the initial encounter with Hurricane Helene, which took us by surprise during a conference in Dallas. Despite early assurances from local meteorologists that Tampa Bay was not in the storm's path, Helene shifted course, leading to a mandatory evacuation order that caught many off guard. 

We explore the critical importance of preparation and community support during crises, whether facing a natural disaster or a personal health challenge. By drawing parallels between hurricane preparedness and health readiness, we emphasize the power of proactive measures in building resilience for future challenges. R
