Think eating less and training more is the only way to lose weight? Spoiler: That’s exactly why you’re stuck. Let’s break it down in this episode.

I sat down with Emmalee—holistic health practitioner, former nurse, and all-around badass—to talk about how so many women are stuck in survival mode, under-eating, over-stressed, and under-muscled.  

Emmalee’s story is incredible—she was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, put on meds that made her feel even worse, and was told there was nothing she could do. Instead of accepting that, she walked out of her doctor’s office and started healing herself through nutrition, strength training, and a pro-metabolic approach.  

We dive deep into:  

🔥 Why so many women are afraid to eat more (and why that’s the biggest mistake keeping them stuck)  

🔥 The myth that lifting weights will make you bulky (spoiler: it’s actually your best tool for fat loss & longevity) 

🔥 Why building muscle is the missing piece for women who feel ‘skinny fat’ and struggle with body composition  

🔥 How data-driven coaching helps women overcome the fear of carbs, gain strength, and finally see results  

🔥 Why so many women feel exhausted and out of control—and how to start feeling strong, energised, and in charge of your body again 

This episode is for every woman who’s tired of dieting, tired of feeling weak, and ready to finally train, eat, and live in a way that actually works long-term.

Most women in their 40's think they need to drastically cut calories, cut carbs, and do more HIIT classes and cardio to lose weight… but this is exactly what’s keeping you stuck.

If you’ve been restricting food, feeling exhausted, and still not seeing results, it’s time to change the approach.

Because the key to breaking free from restrictive diets and actually losing weight for good comes down to two things:

🔥 Fuelling your metabolism with the right food & macros (instead of starving yourself)

🔥 Building muscle so your body burns fat effortlessly (instead of spinning your wheels with cardio)

When you nourish your body instead of punishing it, everything changes:

💥 You lose weight without cutting carbs or fasting

💥 You balance your hormones naturally (no more crazy mood swings or bloating)

💥 You reshape your body and feel stronger than ever

💥 You finally stop obsessing over food & restriction

Craig and I are breaking it ALL down in today’s episode—so you can stop feeling stuck and start getting real, lasting results.

Imagine being in your late 20s, exhausted, bloated, and constantly searching for the answer to your health struggles—only to be told that your body was shutting down.

That was Carrie.

At just 16 years old, she was diagnosed with PCOS, prediabetes, and severe digestive issues. Doctors warned her she might never have kids. She cycled through restrictive diets, supplements, and endless protocols—but nothing worked.

She tried paleo, extreme blood sugar control, and supplement stacks that cost thousands of dollars, yet she still felt like crap. She was constantly bloated, exhausted, and battling sugar crashes so intense that even a sweet potato would wipe her out.

Her breaking point? Postpartum. After years of trying everything, she was still stuck, overweight, and overwhelmed with three kids under five. That’s when she found our program—and everything changed.

We focused on nourishing her body, supporting her metabolism and building muscle.

✅ We set her up with the right macros and calories—no more under-eating, no more extreme restrictions.

✅ She started strength training to build muscle.

✅ We optimised her nutrition with pro-metabolic foods—real food, no diet BS, no unnecessary supplements.

✅ We focused on managing stress and improving recovery so her body could actually burn fat and feel good.

✅ She had accountability and guidance every step of the way so she never had to second-guess what she was doing.

The Results?

➡️ She lost 20lbs and completely changed her body composition with simple, sustainable strength training.

➡️ Her cycles went from 30-45 days (sometimes non-existent) to a regular 28-30 days with NO painful symptoms.

➡️ Her digestion healed—she went from taking 8 digestive enzymes per meal to ZERO.

➡️ Her energy skyrocketed—no more crashing, no more living off caffeine just to get through the day.

➡️ She feels STRONG, confident, and actually enjoys her body instead of battling it.

For the first time in her life, she’s not stressing about food, weight, or whether she’s doing enough.

Ever feel like no matter what you do, the weight just won’t budge? 😩 You’re eating “clean,” working out, and trying to do all the right things—but your body just isn’t responding the way it used to.

Did you know your thyroid plays a massive role in metabolism, fat loss, and overall energy, and if it’s not working optimally, neither will your results.

In this episode, I sit down with Kate Deering to break down:

🔥 How stress, under-eating, and overtraining can slow down your thyroid (even if your labs look “normal”)

🔥 Why low-carb, keto, and fasting can wreck your metabolism (and how to reverse the damage)

🔥 The common signs of a sluggish thyroid (fatigue, cold hands/feet, bloating, weight gain)

🔥 How perimenopause and hormonal shifts impact thyroid function—and what you can do about it (the good news is with diet and lifestyle changes you can improve things)

🔥 The must-have nutrients for supporting thyroid health (so your body actually burns fat efficiently)

If you’ve been struggling with stubborn weight gain, low energy, or feeling "off" in perimenopause, this episode is a must-listen!

OR you've been training for a while but you don't look like you lift? You're putting in all the effort and just not getting results.

In this episode, Craig & I break down exactly how to build and structure an effective strength training program for weight loss in perimenopause.

We cover how many days you should train, how much volume you actually need, why intensity matters, and how to structure your workouts for the best results.

I’ve been trying to get Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy on the podcast since last year—and after moving countries twice (and totally butchering her name 🤣 as us Aussies do), we finally made it happen.  

It was worth the wait!

Dr. Connealy is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to treating cancer, hormonal imbalances, and chronic illness with a root cause approach. 

She doesn’t just throw meds at symptoms—she looks at what’s actually driving disease and helps people heal from the inside out.  

This episode hit extra close to home for me because my sister recently went through breast cancer. And honestly, I wish more people had access to the kind of information Dr. Connealy shares, because it’s not just for people with cancer—it’s for everyone.  

🔥 In this episode, we dive into:  

✔️ How the way you’ve lived your life up until now affects your health  

✔️ Why real food—organ meats, dairy, fruit, root vegetables—is one of the keys to healing and thriving  

✔️ The biggest lies we’ve been told about birth control, HRT, and cancer treatment  

✔️ Why we need to stop fearing the sun and start getting daily exposure  

✔️ How modern living—EMFs, pollution, and toxic chemicals—are affecting our health and what we can do about it  

✔️ The real reason so many women struggle in perimenopause and menopause  

It’s a wake-up call and an empowering message rolled into one. You are not broken. You don’t need a magic pill. But you do need to take radical responsibility for your health.  

This episode is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on the podcast—so go listen, share it with every woman you know, and let’s take our health back.

You've Lost Weight… But Why Don’t You Look the Way You Want? 🤔

And now you’re stuck eating low calories just to maintain your new weight…

So many women come to us frustrated. 

They've done the restrictive diet and they’ve hit their “goal weight,” but their body still doesn’t look the way they imagined and they have to eat a lot less to maintain this new body weight. 

Here’s why: losing weight and changing your body composition are NOT the same thing.

If you want to look strong and toned (and be able to eat more food) — not just smaller — you need to focus on body recomposition (gaining muscle and losing body fat, not just weight loss). 

That’s exactly what we break down in our latest podcast episode.

✅ Why hitting a goal weight doesn’t guarantee the body you want

✅ How to figure out the right body fat percentage for YOUR ideal look

✅ Why building muscle should be a long-term goal (and how to do it)

✅ The power of tracking progress beyond just the scale

✅ What realistic muscle gain looks like for women over 40

✅ Why having more muscle means you can eat more 

✅ The health benefits of having more muscle as you age 

This episode is a must-listen if you’re stuck in the cycle of dieting but not seeing the body transformation you want.

A little while ago, Kelly (@TheDetoxedLife) joined our program and her results have been incredible. 

🙌 She’s down 10 lbs, building strength every week, and loving how she’s balancing muscle-building and macros while managing life with two kids.

When I saw Kelly’s profile, I knew I had to get her on the podcast as we have many women in our program who have kids with gut health issues and she’s a nutritionist specialising in kids' gut health. 

Kelly’s journey started with her own struggles—IBS, endometriosis, infertility, and toxic dieting. After discovering pro-metabolic eating, she healed her gut and found balance. Her son, Arlen, was her inspiration to help kids heal. At just 7, he struggled with stomach aches, low weight, and leaky gut. 

Through targeted testing and protocols, Kelly helped him heal completely. He’s now thriving—no more stomach issues or picky eating!

She also talked about how toxins in everyday products (fake tans, perfumes, and beauty creams) contribute to hormone disruption, cycle issues, and even infertility. This is one reason @thenutritioncoach and I created @saturee_official_ skincare. It's free from PUFA's and toxic ingredients.

Kelly’s journey reminds us that it’s not about perfection—it’s about starting where you’re at, building habits step by step, and showing up consistently. Whether it’s training three days a week, dialling in your nutrition, or finding time for self-care, progress happens when you commit.

If you’re a mom struggling with your own health or looking for solutions for your kids, Kelly’s story is a must-hear.

This week I sat down with Craig to talk about carbs and sugar—the real deal behind your energy, mood, and results. 

For years, I was stuck in the "anti-carb" "anti-sugar" mindset. 

I cut out sugar, avoided fruit, and thought I was doing everything right... except for the weekend binges on Ben & Jerry's and corn chips. 🤣 Sound familiar? 

The problem wasn’t carbs—it was the restrictive cycle I was trapped in.

In this week's podcast, we dive deep into how carbohydrates are actually your body's preferred energy source. 

We unpack why cutting them isn’t the answer when it comes to sustainable weight loss, how they can support your metabolism, and why they’re essential for building muscle and achieving a strong, toned body. 

Plus, we share the key to eating carbs while reaching your goals—and yes, it involves eating the foods you love without guilt.

Are you tired of feeling like the diet and fitness world has left you confused, stressed, and stuck in endless cycles? 

This week, I sat down with Vahdaneh, the incredible mind behind @TheEdgeContent on Instagram, and we dove deep into a topic that resonates with so many of us: finding *true regeneration* through nourishment, stress reduction, and tuning into your body.  

Vahdaneh shares her inspiring journey—from years of restrictive diets, overtraining, and burnout to discovering Ray Peat’s work and completely transforming her health and life. She talks about:  

✨ How moving to the countryside (and getting chickens 🐔) helped her reduce stress and improve sleep.  

✨ Why healing your metabolism isn’t just about food—it’s also about managing your environment and emotional stress.  

✨ Her top staples for long-term health, including calcium, gelatin, and the power of sugar (yes, sugar!).  

✨ Embracing aging naturally and how nourishing your body can leave you looking and feeling younger.  

We also chat about our shared love for carbs, potatoes, and ice cream 🍦 and why ditching food guilt can lead to freedom and balance. 

Plus, Vahdaneh shares her tips on listening to your intuition and finding what works *for you* without getting lost in the noise of social media or diet trends.  

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or unsure about what’s truly healthy, this episode is packed with wisdom, relatable stories, and practical advice to help you simplify your approach and feel amazing in your body.
