In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something we don’t talk about enough in the health and fitness space: changing your mind.

After years as a full-time coach - and working with thousands of clients through training, nutrition, labs, hormones, and gut health - there are several beliefs I once held strongly that I no longer stand behind. Not because I was careless or uninformed… but because experience taught me better.

In this episode, I walk through:

• What I got wrong about cardio, walking and overall activity
• Why gut health needs to be personalized
• How my views on hormones and HRT have changed
• Why eating 6x a day is not "necessary" for fat loss
• Why sleep matters a lot... alot more than you think
• and why humility and adaptability are essential for real health

This conversation isn’t about regret - it’s about growth. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting advice, burned out from doing “everything right,” or wondered why what used to work no longer does, this episode is for you.

Because real health isn’t about defending old beliefs, it’s about being willing to learn, adjust, and do better.

If you've ever struggled with fat loss (and let's face it, most of us have) it could be that you are following the wrong rules. 

In this episode, I’m sharing the real rules of fat loss, 10 principles most people skip while chasing trends, quick fixes, and “what worked for her” on Instagram. 

We’ll cover what actually drives sustainable results: consistent fundamentals, realistic timelines, and data-driven decision making -not perfection, punishment, or white-knuckling.

We’ll also get honest about why many women reach the end of a diet and still feel underwhelmed with their physique, and why the answer is often muscle, not more restriction. 

I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts that keep people consistent: building confidence through action, treating dieting like skill development, and dropping the self-hate that quietly fuels burnout and rebound.

This episode is a reset button for anyone tired of starting over, and ready to build fat loss results that actually last.

In today's episode, I sit down with Gray Gaines Achilles to discuss muscle and female metabolic health. Gray has been a certified personal trainer since 2019 and has since dedicated her career to helping individuals build confidence, strength, and a deeper appreciation for movement. She is the co-founder of PHNM Brand Fitness & Nutrition, where she works with clients to create sustainable habits and long-term health. 

Today, Gray and I unpack why building and maintaining muscle is one of the most powerful (and most overlooked) strategies for female metabolic health. We talk about muscle as far more than aesthetics — it’s a key driver of insulin sensitivity, glucose regulation, hormonal resilience, metabolic rate, and longevity, especially as women move through perimenopause and menopause.

You’ll hear us break down the mental, emotional and physical benefits of strength training, and why building muscle can be beneficial beyond just aesthetics alone.

We also get practical: how to train for hypertrophy without living in the gym, how to think about other forms of exercise, and what it looks like to pursue strength with wisdom (not punishment). If you’ve ever felt like your body is “changing” and you don’t know why, this conversation will give you clarity and a new path forward.

So many women are led to believe their body is broken when weight loss, hormones, digestion, or energy feel increasingly “complicated.” When the usual strategies stop working, the narrative quickly shifts to dysfunction, failure, or the idea that something about their body in particular, must be "broken" or "defective". But more often than not, the body isn’t malfunctioning - it’s adapting.

This episode explores the difference between the broken body narrative and the reality of adaptive biology. Symptoms are not random or rebellious; they are intelligent responses to cumulative stress, restriction, under-recovery, and years of pressure placed on the system. When we ignore that context and attempt to override the body with more control or more force (onslaughts of hacks, protocols, peptides, supplements, etc) we often create even more resistance.

By reframing health through the lens of adaptation rather than failure, we can begin to approach healing with strategy and wisdom instead of urgency. This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing band aids and start rooting out solutions, through understanding your body’s signals. Because meaningful, sustainable change doesn’t come from fighting your biology, but from working with it.

As the New Year approaches, many men and women double down on goals, only to find themselves stuck in the same cycle of frustration, inconsistency, and self-blame.

In this episode, we’re talking about the real reasons weight loss keeps stalling that have nothing to do with willpower or hormones, and everything to do with mindset patterns running quietly in the background.

I’m breaking down 10 common mindset struggles that sabotage weight loss, especially for women over 40, including:

• Perfectionism
• All or nothing thinking
• Why waiting for motivation is a losing strategy
• Why obsessing with the scale can create inconsistency in your actions
• How impatience with the process is keeping you stuck
• And why chasing quick fixes will never ever yield the results you're after

More importantly, I’ll show you how to recognize these patterns in your own behavior and give you practical, questions for self reflection you can begin to break free from them, without extreme rules, burnout, or another January reset that doesn’t stick.

If you’re ready to approach weight loss in the New Year with clarity, consistency, and confidence, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Jeffrey Su, owner of First Call Out Fitness and one of the most respected voices in the functional health coaching space. 

Jeff has been in this field long enough to see trends come and go, and he brings a refreshingly honest, experience-driven perspective on what truly matters when it comes to health and healing.

In our conversation, we unpack how his own views on functional health have evolved, how he defines it today, and the biggest misconceptions circulating on social media. 

Jeff breaks down what root-cause healing actually is (not the flashy version people talk about online) and what clients should really be looking for when choosing a coach.

We also dive into the pillars that matter most: nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement. Jeff shares his number one tip for each, along with what he’s most excited about in the functional health space. If you’re wanting clarity in a very noisy wellness landscape, this episode will give you exactly that.

The messy middle is that maddening stretch of the journey where your body hasn’t quite caught up to your effort. You’re showing up, you’re doing the work, yet the scale is stubborn, your energy is unpredictable, and every part of you wonders, “Is this even working?”

This is the part most people never talk about—the plateaus, the doubt, the second-guessing, the temptation to throw in the towel. But this season right here? This is the refining fire. This is where real transformation is forged. The women who stay consistent through the messy middle are the ones who actually cross the finish line.

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the truth about the messy middle—and why it matters far more than you think.

We’ll cover:

• What the messy middle actually is
• Why it’s a non-negotiable part of every transformation
• The most common sticking points in your health and fitness journey
• The danger of quitting right before the breakthrough
• How to reconnect with your “why” when motivation fades
• Why you need to simplify instead of overcomplicate
• How to get curious, not judgmental, about your habits
• The power of support, accountability, and honest feedback
• Why you should adjust the strategy—not the goal

If you’re in that uncomfortable in-between where nothing feels like it’s working… this episode is your reminder that you’re not stuck—you’re being shaped.
