January 28, 2026 Ep 144 | Realistic Timeline Expectations for Fat Loss & Body Recomposition
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by how long weight loss or body recomposition is taking—or wondered if you’re doing something wrong—this episode is for you. We’re unpacking why realistic expectations matter, why quick fat loss often leads to long term setbacks, and what most people misunderstand about sustainable fitness and nutrition. Consistent progress starts with realistic expectations.

January 21, 2026 Ep 143 | The Last 5 Pounds: When Fat Loss Efforts Stop Paying Off (Law of Diminishing Returns)
Why does fat loss feel harder the leaner you get? In this episode, we break down the law of diminishing returns in body recomposition, explaining why chasing the last 5 pounds or final 1–2% body fat often leads to burnout, food obsession, and stalled results. You’ll learn when pushing harder in training and nutrition actually backfires, how to shift toward performance and health-based goals, and how to decide if your current fat loss effort is truly worth the cost. A must-listen for women focused on sustainable fat loss, metabolism health, and long-term results without sacrificing food freedom.

January 14, 2026 Ep 142 | Alternatives To Tracking Macros While Still Getting Results
Tracking macros isn’t the only way to lose fat, build muscle, and see real body recomposition.

We’ll talk about ways to simplify your eating so you can maintain (or change) your physique with way less mental load. If you want structure and food freedom, this episode is for you.

January 07, 2026 Ep 141 | SkinnyTok Is Back – and It’s Wrecking Women’s Metabolism
The “SkinnyTok” trend is everywhere again—but this time it’s sneakier, louder, and more damaging than ever. In this episode, we break down why the obsession with being smaller is harming women’s hormones, metabolism, and long-term body recomposition goals. We’ll talk about how diet culture rebranded itself on social media, why it pulls smart, motivated women back into restriction, and what actually leads to a strong, lean, healthy body instead.

December 31, 2025 Ep 140 | Is Your Mouth Blocking Your Fat Loss? The Oral Health–Autoimmune Connection w/ Dr. Toni Engram
What if your stalled fat loss, inflammation, or autoimmune symptoms had less to do with your macros—and more to do with your mouth? In this episode, I’m joined by biological dentist and integrative health coach Dr. Toni Engram to unpack the powerful (and overlooked) connection between oral health, gut function, immune response, and whole-body inflammation. We dive into biological dentistry, root canals, dental materials, fluoride, mouthwash, and how oral dysfunction can quietly sabotage recovery, sleep, and body recomposition.

Cheat meals often do more harm than good—fueling the binge-restrict cycle, creating guilt, and stalling your progress.

December 03, 2025 Ep 136 | Heavy vs. Light Weights for Muscle Growth: The Rep Range That Actually Builds Muscle
In today’s episode, I break down a brand new 2025 study that challenges one of the most common gym debates: do you need heavy weights to build muscle or can lighter weights work just as well? The answer might actually give you more freedom in your training than you think. We’ll cover high-load and low-load training, what this means for strength gains, and how busy women can use this research to train smarter. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re using the right weight or rep range, this episode will give you the science-backed confidence to crush your workouts.

In this episode, I sit down with Coach Kailey, a former D1 athlete turned mom who found herself battling mystery symptoms before finally uncovering Hashimoto’s and SIBO.
