Book a FREE 15-minute Rapid Nutrition Assessment, designed to fine-tune your strategy, identify your #1 roadblock, and give you a personalized 3-step action plan in a fast-paced 15 minutes.

Are you training hard and tracking macros but still not seeing the results you want? Do you wonder if your body is just “different” or if you’re missing a key piece of the puzzle?

I talk with my client Cassandra, who successfully lost fat and built muscle at the same time after years of slow weight gain—all while eating plenty of carbs. 

You’ll discover the exact system we used to help her break through plateaus, achieve sustainable fat loss, and develop a balanced approach to nutrition without extreme restrictions.

Today, you’ll learn all about:
02:52 - Why "doing everything right" wasn't working
04:44 - Small but critical nutrition mistakes
07:05 - Starting with a maintenance phase
11:11 - Simple lifestyle tweaks that helped
11:59 - Meal timing strategies
13:41 - The impact of walking and daily movement
14:55 - Coaching and accountability
17:29 - Cassandra’s results
22:51 - Overcoming food fears
28:55 - Mindset shift about weight trends
31:42 - From fat loss to muscle building
38:01 - Outro
