March 15 5 Things Every Woman Over 35 Should Be Tracking to Improve Body Composition, Energy, and Recovery
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the key things I recommend tracking for anyone who wants to improve their body composition, hormonal health, recovery, and overall performance.
Tracking the right data allows you to identify patterns in your nutrition, training, and recovery so you can make informed adjustments without feeling like you constantly have to start over.
Instead of guessing or reacting emotionally to changes in your body, you’ll learn how to use simple metrics to better understand what your body needs and how to create sustainable progress over time.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by what to track—or worried about becoming obsessive with data—this episode will help you focus on the metrics that actually matter.

March 02Fasting for Fat Loss After 35: Smart Strategy or Stress Stacking?
Is fasting actually helping your hormones and recovery - or quietly making things worse?
In this episode, I break down the science behind fasting, autophagy, and inflammation for women 35+ who train hard.
You’ll learn:
What autophagy really is (and what actually triggers it)
Why calorie restriction — not just skipping meals — drives most of the research
How fasting impacts cortisol and recovery in high-intensity training
The difference between correlation and causation in inflammation claims
When fasting can be strategic - and when it becomes under-fueling
If you’re a female CrossFitter over 35 trying to lose fat, support hormone balance, and improve recovery, this episode will help you understand whether fasting fits your lifestyle ... or if better fueling and stress management will get you further.

Because for most active women, the solution isn’t more restriction ... it’s smarter structure.

February 16The real reason you are struggling to stay consistent with your fat loss plan
If you feel like you keep starting over, this episode is for you. Most high-achieving women assume the problem is discipline.
So they try harder. Push more. Tighten the plan. Start again. But the truth?
You don’t lack discipline.You lack clarity, predictability, and strategy.
And without those three things, even the most driven women end up:
following feelings instead of facts
jumping between plans
comparing themselves to everyone else
working incredibly hard… with little progress to show for it
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:
Why “just try harder” keeps failing women
The biggest mindset shift between chasing fat loss and living lean
Why fat loss should be a temporary phase — not a lifestyle
How to build a plan that actually creates consistency, confidence, and results
Because your body is forever. Fat loss is just a phase.
And when you finally understand that…everything changes.
If you’re ready to stop starting over and start building a clear path forward, this episode will show you where to begin.

February 09 What Most Women Get Wrong About Calories
In today’s episode, we’re talking about one of the most confusing topics in nutrition: calories.
If you feel like:
Online calculators never feel accurate
You’re “supposed” to be eating a certain number
You compare your intake to other women’s what-I-eat-in-a-day videos
And you still aren’t seeing results…
This episode is for you.
Because the biggest mistake most women make with calories isn’t choosing the wrong number - it’s looking for external validation instead of learning their body’s internal needs.
We’ll talk about:
Why calorie calculators fail so many active women
How comparison to other people’s intake creates fear of under- or overeating
Why macros and calories are individual, not universal
And how to actually find the intake that works for your metabolism, digestion, and lifestyle
You don’t need another formula.
You need to learn how to work with your body instead of against it.

February 03Stop chasing fat loss and learn how to live lean
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the biggest mindset shift that needs to happen if you want to feel confident in your body without the constant obsession around food — or avoiding dealing with it altogether.
We’re talking about the difference between chasing fat loss and learning how to live lean — and why staying stuck in dieting mode is often the very thing holding women back from real, sustainable body composition change.
This episode is for you if:
you train consistently but still feel stuck
food feels mentally exhausting
you’re tired of swinging between restriction and “I’ll deal with it later”
you want results without living your life around dieting

I’ll walk you through:
why fat loss should be a short phase — not a lifestyle
what “living lean” actually looks like
why under-eating has likely become your norm
and how to start building a strategy that supports your body, training, and real life

January 13CrossFit & Hormones After 35: When Training Helps… and When It Hurts
CrossFit & Hormones After 35: When Training Helps… and When It Hurts
If you’re a female CrossFitter over 35 who trains hard but feels more inflamed, tired, or stuck than you used to, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we break down how CrossFit impacts female hormones after 35 — including cortisol, insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones — and why training stress, volume, and under-fueling can stall fat loss and recovery.
We also debunk the myth that carbs spike insulin, cortisol, and inflammation, and explain why strategic fueling is essential for performance, hormone balance, and sustainable fat loss.
You’ll learn:
Which hormones are impacted by CrossFit training
When CrossFit supports hormone health — and when it backfires
Why intensity, volume, and recovery matter more after 35
How under-eating and low-carb dieting increase stress and inflammation
How to fuel CrossFit workouts to support hormones and fat loss
If you’re ready to stop guessing and learn how to personalize your macros for CrossFit, hormones, and body composition, join my upcoming workshop.
