  • Episode 609 - The Hidden Triggers Behind Hormonal Imbalance & Inflammation with Dr. Nibber

    In this insightful episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, we sit down with the brilliant Dr. Nibber, ND and expert in functional and integrative medicine, to dive into two of the most common (and misunderstood) root causes in women’s health: hormonal imbalance and chronic inflammation.

    From fatigue and mood swings to stubborn weight and brain fog—Dr. Nibber helps connect the dots on why these symptoms are so common, and what we can do to address them holistically.

    In this episode, we explore:

    ✔️ The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of hormone imbalance

    ✔️ What inflammation actually is—and how it silently disrupts your entire system

    ✔️ How lifestyle, nutrition, gut health, and stress all play a role

    ✔️ Why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed

    ✔️ What every coach needs to know to support clients through perimenopause and beyond

    ✔️ Dr. Nibber’s go-to wellness tips and protocols for restoring balance

    Whether you're struggling with symptoms yourself or you’re a coach working with clients, this episode will shift how you approach women’s health—and empower you with knowledge that goes deeper than quick fixes or trendy wellness advice.

  • Episode 607 - My Predictions: The Future of Coaching in a World of AI & Weight Loss Meds

    Will AI and weight loss meds replace coaches — or make us more essential than ever?

    In this episode, I’m sharing my predictions for the future of coaching in a world where artificial intelligence can generate instant meal plans and prescriptions can shrink appetites overnight. Spoiler: the role of the coach is about to evolve in powerful ways.

    Here’s what we’ll explore:

    • Why having all the answers isn’t enough anymore (and the hidden thing clients are really paying for).

    • What weight loss meds can’t fix — and the surprising gap only coaches can fill.

    • The unexpected shift that’s turning coaches into something far more powerful than “instructors.”

    • Why the next wave of coaching success will depend less on flashy marketing… and more on something clients are starting to demand.


    The truth? AI and medications may change the game — but they’ll never replace the transformation only a skilled coach can deliver.

    If you’ve ever wondered what it will really take to stay relevant (and in demand) in this new era of coaching, this episode will open your eyes.

  • Episode 603 - The Holistic Nutrition Coaching Kickstart

    Most coaches think they just need to know nutrition to help clients lose weight. Tell them what to eat, and they'll get results, right?

    But here's what really happens: some clients lose weight then gain it back, others nod and smile on calls then disappear, and you're left feeling like you're piecing things together without a clear system.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to kickstart your holistic nutrition coaching results and revenue.

    You'll discover:

    ✅ Why having nutrition knowledge isn't enough (and what's actually missing)

    ✅ The #1 reason clients don't follow through with their plans

    ✅ My Body → Brain → Business framework that transforms how you coach

    ✅ How to shift from giving information to coaching transformation

    ✅ Why diets fail (hint: it's not lack of willpower)

    ✅ The secret to building a coaching business that creates both impact AND income

    This episode is perfect for you if:

    • You're passionate about health but unsure how to coach nutrition confidently
    • Your clients struggle to stick with their plans long-term
    • You want to add nutrition coaching to your business but don't know where to start
    • You're tired of feeling like you're piecing things together without a clear system

    Whether you're brand new to coaching or you've been at this for years, this framework will change everything about how you approach nutrition and weight loss with your clients.

    Ready to go deeper? Join me for the Holistic Nutrition Coaching 3-Day Bootcamp (August 26-28) where I'll teach you exactly HOW to use this method with your clients — plus give you all the tools, scripts, and confidence you need to start getting results immediately.

    Let's turn your passion into a method that actually works!

  • Episode 602 - What We Discovered When Our Goals Stopped Working (FIT CHICKS Academy Confession)

    You've got goals. Business goals, client goals, revenue goals. So why does it still feel like something's missing? What if the burnout plaguing health coaches isn't about marketing strategies—but about losing sight of why you started helping people transform their lives?

    In this brutally honest conversation, Amanda and Laura pull back the curtain on what's really been going on at FIT CHICKS Academy. We had crystal-clear goals, strategy, systems, success—but we'd lost the vision that made our coaching transformational in the first place.

    You'll hear the uncomfortable moment we realized our goals were driving us toward someone else's definition of success, and the radical shift we're making to get back to what actually creates lasting change.

    Most importantly, we share exactly how to reconnect with your authentic vision as a health coach—the one that will fuel your goals and make you unstoppable. This isn't about surface-level "why" exercises. This is about tapping into the vision that transforms exhausting hustle into effortless momentum.

    If you're crushing your goals but feeling empty, this conversation will show you what's been missing all along.

    The bottom line: Goals tell you what to do. Vision tells you why it matters. And without that why, you're just spinning your wheels.
