If you're over 40 and struggling to lose weight, it's time to stop with the HIIT classes and endless hours of cardio!

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.

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 Craig and I just dropped our first podcast of 2025, and it’s packed with reflections, laughs, and actionable insights to kickstart your year.

2024 was a rollercoaster for us— we moved country twice 🤣, big business changes, personal challenges, and even adopting two adorable rescue dogs in Thailand Suri and Mali - I just love them so much already🐾. Through it all, one thing became clear: growth comes from embracing the process, even when it’s tough.

In this episode, we dive into:

✨ The different phases of body transformation—fat loss, body recomposition, and muscle building—and why understanding which phase is right for you is key to success.

✨ Why body recomposition (gaining muscle while losing fat) is ideal for most women starting out.

✨ The benefits of focusing on muscle building and improving your metabolism, especially if you’ve been chronically dieting or have hit a plateau.

✨ Why setting clear, realistic body composition goals is a game-changer.

✨ How strength training and proper nutrition can completely transform your physique (and your mindset!).

✨ Practical advice for embracing consistent, imperfect action to create lasting results.

Not sure which phase you should be focusing on? We break it all down, so you can confidently map out your goals and understand how to get there step by step.

You *can* rebuild your metabolism, transform your body, and get stronger at any age. ✨  

When Sue joined our program, she had a simple goal:  

To feel better in her body and regain her health. 🎯  

Sue is a 62-year-old mom of three, living with Hashimoto's and navigating the challenges of an underactive thyroid. She’d tried everything—fasting, restrictive diets, even intense calorie deficits—but nothing worked long-term.  

What set her apart? Her determination.  

Sue didn’t just think about change—she invested in herself and took ACTION.  

👉 She tracked her food and fuelled her body with real, nutrient-dense pro-metabolic food - no cutting carbs or sugar.  

👉 She learned how to lift weights, dialled in her execution and got strong. She maintained her lifts while in the deficit.

👉 She stayed consistent with her training and nutrition, even when life got busy.  

The results?  

💃 18kg down and 14% body fat lost.

💃 Feeling stronger, energised, and healthier than ever.  

💃 Gaining confidence and the ability to tackle everyday life with ease.  

Sue is now in a reverse dieting phase, focusing on building her strength and pushing her performances in the gym. 💪✨

We’ve increased her to 1,912 calories, and her weight is holding steady at around 63kgs and 18% body fat. The goal? To keep pushing up her calories and build muscle while maintaining her body fat around 18%. 

Sue’s story proves that it’s *never* too late to transform your health and body.

On the latest episode I sat down with my dear friend and co-founder of Saturee, Emma Sgourakis (aka The Nutrition Coach), to discuss our game-changing Bioenergetic Methylene Blue Serum. This incredible serum is packed with powerhouse ingredients like methylene blue, vitamin C, and niacinamide, and it's been years in the making.  

We shared the behind-the-scenes journey of creating this serum—from convincing formulators to take a chance on methylene blue to ensuring every single ingredient is of the highest quality. It hasn’t been easy (at all), but seeing the results makes every challenge worth it.  

✨ So, what makes this serum so amazing?  

- It’s *anti-aging* magic: reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and even age spots.  

- Improves skin elasticity, tone, and hydration.  

- Protects against environmental stress and inflammation.  

- Even works wonders on older skin, reversing visible signs of aging.  

We’re thrilled about the feedback from our trial users—reduced eye bags, plumper, more hydrated skin, and vibrant complexions in just 30 days! One of the testers, Donna, said: "Thank you for making me feel beautiful again.*  

If you’re tired of wasting money on products with bold claims but no results, this serum is a must-try. We’ve poured our hearts into creating something safe, nourishing, and truly effective—not just for your skin but for your confidence.

Dairy is often misunderstood, with so much conflicting advice out there. But if you’ve been told to avoid dairy, or you’ve struggled with digestive issues, this episode of the Weight Loss for Women Podcast: Empowering Health, Strength, and Nourishment is a must-listen!

I sat down with food writer, chef, and farmer Matthew Evans to talk all things dairy—its nutritional power, cultural significance, and why it’s one of the most misunderstood foods today.

Here are some of the key insights:

💡 Dairy’s Nutritional Superpowers: Did you know it’s nearly impossible to match dairy’s calcium bioavailability with plant-based alternatives? You’d need 22 glasses of soy milk to match the calcium in ONE glass of real milk!

💡 The Digestive Issue Myth: Many people aren’t truly lactose intolerant. Often, a stressed digestive system or low metabolic health is the real culprit. With proper healing, many of our clients find they can reintroduce dairy and enjoy it again.

💡 Better Than Plant Milks: Plant-based “milks” are ultra-processed and lack the nutrients found in real dairy. While oat or almond milk might make your coffee look creamier, they don’t even come close nutritionally.

Matthew and I also talked about how misconceptions around dairy have led to women missing out on its incredible benefits, like calcium for strong bones, high-quality protein, and other bioavailable nutrients essential for optimal health.

If you’re a lover of real milk, ice cream, cheese (hello, Gouda and feta! 😍), or just want to learn how to enjoy dairy again, this episode is packed with actionable tips and fascinating facts!
