  • Macros 101 with Kristine Peacock

    In this episode, I'm thrilled to take things "internal" and introduce you to one of my incredible team members, Kristine Peacock. Kristine is not only our Synced online fitness studio manager and head macro coach, but she's also a true cheerleader for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and body composition changes. Today we're talking about all things macros!

    Key Takeaways:

    • Real change takes time—commit to a year, but know that true transformation is a multi-year journey.

    • Simplicity and consistency in both movement and nutrition are more powerful than chasing the next quick fix.

    • Tracking your food, workouts, and even symptoms can empower you to make informed decisions and see real progress.

    • It's never too late to start, and you're never "too busy" or "too far gone" to make meaningful changes.

    Let's dive in!

  • The Connection Between your Health and Wealth with Co-Host Chris Borsellino

    In this extra special episode, not only are we releasing it on Christmas (Merry Christmas if you're listening today!), but I'm joined by my husband, Chris, for a heartfelt and practical conversation about health, wealth, and everything in between.

    After 30 years together (yes, since high school!) and over 20 years of marriage, Chris and I have learned a lot about building a life, a family, and several businesses together. In this episode, we open up about our journey – the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons learned – especially when it comes to money, mindset, and financial health.

    Chris shares his expertise as a financial broker, and we both get real about the mindset shifts that helped us move from financial stress to confidence. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an employee, or somewhere in between, there's something here for you.

    Key Topics:

    • Why health and wealth are so deeply connected, and how stress about money can impact your wellbeing (and vice versa)

    • Our personal story: from being stuck in the "hamster wheel" to building multiple businesses and getting out of debt

    • The importance of financial literacy, especially for women and entrepreneurs

    • How we teach our kids about money, investing, and setting up for the future (even if you feel like you started late)

    • The real deal on banks, RRSPs, TFSAs, insurance, and why having the right accountant can change everything

    • How to spot "money leaks" in your life and business, and simple steps to plug them

    • Why your financial plan should be as unique as you are – and how to start building one, no matter where you're at

    Chapters:

    • 1:50 - Our Story: 30 Years Together

    • 3:36 - Health & Wealth: The Connection

    • 11:20 - Breaking the Hamster Wheel

    • 12:14 - Financial Foundations & Money Leaks

    • 15:38 - Long-Term Goals & Retirement Reality

    • 27:03 - Investing Early & Teaching Our Kids

    • 35:43 - Tax Strategies & Business Structure

    • 49:50 - Building a Personalized Financial Plan

  • Belly Fat, Inflammation and What's Driving Both

    In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most requested topics: why so many women struggle with weight gain, hormonal shifts, and belly fat—especially as we move through our 40s, 50s, and beyond.

    Key Topics:

    • The real reasons behind changes in body composition and why "just doing more cardio" or "eating less" isn't the answer.

    • The importance of building muscle, not just losing weight, for a tighter midsection and overall health.

    • How lifestyle changes, hormonal fluctuations, and even being more sedentary than we realize can impact our results.

    • Why advanced training strategies and a focus on progressive overload are key for women who are already fit but not seeing the results they want.

    • The role of cortisol, stress, and recovery—including how to implement a "cortisol reset" and why rest days and nutrient timing matter.

    • Practical tips for structuring your training, dialing in your nutrition (yes, you probably need more carbs!), and staying consistent for long-term results.

    • My personal journey with body composition, muscle building, and the lessons I've learned through perimenopause and beyond.

    In this episode, I'm sharing the real truth about building muscle, repairing your metabolism, and thriving in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. Whether you're just starting to shift your mindset in your mid-30s or you're looking to feel your best in your 60s and 70s, I've packed this episode with practical advice and myth-busting insights from my own journey and years of working with women.

    • How chronic stress, under-eating, and overtraining can sabotage your health

    • Why consistency matters more than intensity in your workouts and nutrition

    • My non-negotiable foundations for metabolic health: blood sugar regulation, sleep, and recovery

    • How I structure my meals for energy, hormone balance, and muscle building

    • The roles of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats in a woman's diet (and why carbs are not the enemy!)

    • The truth about training over 40: progressive overload, intentional rest, and listening to your body's signals

    • Red flags I look for that tell me it's time to make a change in my health routine

  • How I Reversed My Hair Loss At 42

    In this episode, I share my personal journey with hair loss, especially as I entered my 40s and began experiencing perimenopause. I discuss how hair loss became a powerful messenger about my overall health, not just a cosmetic concern.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • The critical role of estrogen and progesterone in hair growth and how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause impact hair cycles.

    • My own experience with increased hair shedding, stress, and the realization that hair health reflects deeper systemic issues.

    • The importance of looking beyond surface solutions (like shampoos or supplements) and investigating root causes such as stress, thyroid function, mineral balance, and gut health.

    • The impact of chronic stress on nutrient depletion, thyroid health, and hair loss.

    • Why comprehensive testing (bloodwork, mineral analysis, gut health) can provide valuable insights.

    • The dangers of toxic hair and personal care products, and how to make safer choices.

    • Nutrition and lifestyle changes that made a difference for me: increasing protein and healthy carbs, using minerals and adaptogens, prioritizing rest, and reducing intense exercise during certain cycle phases.

    • Practical tips: scalp massage with oils, red light therapy, regular trims, and being gentle with hair care routines.

    • Encouragement for listeners: hair loss is not about vanity, but vitality. Don't give up—focus on restoring balance and supporting your body from within.
