Our DLDNation client Kenzie has such a unique story since being with us since early 2020, we had to have her on the show. Kenzie originally came to us to lose weight but, after a few months, GAINED so much more than she anticipated. We talk about what she's navigated since being a client, how she prioritized her mental and emotional health, and so much more!

One of the most frequent questions we receive at DLDNation is, "what is a reverse diet?" Our society and culture has conditioned us to always be in a traditional "diet" and cutting calories to lose weight.

Chronic dieting for months and even years can lead to a concept called metabolic adaptation aka your body gets used to those lower calories. A host of negative side effects can come from metabolic adaptation and along with stalling weight loss, fatigue and decreased hormonal health can set in. How do we solve this?

This is where reverse dieting comes in! I have with me DLDNation Coach Raisa on the show to discuss what a reverse diet is, results we've seen with clients who go through a reverse, what the process looks like, and so much more!

I couldn't be prouder of my guest today as we've worked together in a life coaching capacity most of this year and I've seen her blossom into a full fledged leader in her company and leader in her life as well. In short, she's made the damn thing happen this year!

Alex Long is the head assistant coach and registered dietitian at Vanessa G Fitness and Nutrition, dog mom to Emmie, Denver resident, and fan of EDM (we already love her right?). That's just a short list of who she really is.

We talk about how we met, the big leap she took at the beginning of this year to foster her leadership and personal development growth, the importance of having a team surround you in your personal and professional development journey, and much more!

Our guest and DLDNation client has been through the ringer when it comes to personal obstacles in her life battling cancer that spread seemingly out of nowhere but thankfully is cancer free now for 16 years and is thriving now that she found a community like us.

She tried everything her friends, co-workers, and family recommended (does this sound familiar?) and then she found us. We were able to show Lupe what it's like to have the life she wants with her health, nutrition, and body without scarifying her favorite foods AND she gets to get carbs again and a lot of them! Join us as we talk about her experience, what comes easy now, how she approaches a cut phase with excitement, and more!

You're in for a love-fest and tear jerker in today's episode as we have two amazing DLDNation clients AND two of our rockstar DLDNation coaches on the call too (plus yours truly) on a new Shots to the Dome record 5 guest podcast to talk about Courtney and Kurt's journey!

Courtney admits she had initial skepticism when first joining as we first started her on a reverse dieting protocol to heal the years of chronic dieting she endured. She trusted the process though and ABSOLUTELY LOVES the body she is in now and guess what… the scale hasn't moved much. Transformation photos speak for themselves though and now her husband Kurt joined the team as well as they set the example for their family and two boys.
