Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

Once you get the basics down, adding scientifically-proven wellness tools, like red light, can further your health journey.

I use red light to wind down and found it really helped with scarring and recovery after having my implants removed. Craig and I both have the red light face mask as well, and we’ve noticed a difference in our skin (and it’s just so relaxing).

So! Let’s dig into everything about red light. We welcome Bryan Thomas back on the podcast to shine the light on this wellness tool.

Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.

If you’ve experienced persistent digestive issues, you can likely relate to Madison. In our latest podcast episode, Madison, who is 30 years old, single, and has no kids, describes her journey of overcoming gut problems.

From the vegan diet to the carnivore diet, Madison had been cycling through restrictive diets for years, trying to find the diet that solved her gut issues. From 2020 to 2022, due to stress and more, Madison gained 50 lbs and knew she needed more help.

After being in our program for a year, Madison has seen incredible changes, specifically in her body composition (even losing 40 lbs!). She says she’s more confident and worries less about food than before, now knowing she has a plan and food ready to eat.

Have you listened to our new podcast episode with @thedannyroddyweblog? We talk about everything toxic diet culture.

Finding Dr Ray Peat's work has been a game-changer for me. I’m no longer afraid of food, and I now understand how to properly nourish my body. Before, I would never have eaten sugar or carbs and feel I’ve gained so much food freedom. 

So, let’s talk about the problems with diet culture and how this way of life is vastly different from all the diet fads and quick-fixes out there.

Our podcast guests always have the best way of clarifying common myths and misconceptions! And @dr.alexorton is no exception.

We chatted about what detoxification actually means (Hint: It’s not drinking juice all day or doing crazy sh*t like taking herbal laxatives). Surprisingly (or potentially unsurprisingly), giving your body enough energy is essential for detoxification! Dr Alex Orton and I discuss all of this and more in our latest episode.

If you’re a busy mum who is struggling to prioritise your health and body goals, @nyssa_bovenkamp and I have a few simple and easy tips for you!

Nyssa is one of our amazing coaches; We were friends before she worked with us, and I’ve known her for ages. Nyssa has overcome a lot of adversaries to get to where she is now. I just admire her so much.

But since I can’t truly understand what it’s like to be a mum, I wanted to get Nyssa on here to address how she does it and what has worked for her. We’ve worked with thousands of mums, and a lot of the time, it comes down to controlling what you can control and making imperfect action. Failure is normal. Not making progress is normal. What really matters is consistency, so how can you do this? Give our latest podcast episode with Nyssa a listen!

Patrick is the author of The Oxygen Advantage. I’ve been reading his book (highly recommend!), and since I’ve found breathwork to really help my anxiety and stress, I thought we could help even more people by having Patrick come on and really foster a better understanding of the breath and breathwork.

A surprising 75% of the anxiety population has breathing pattern disorders. Yet, we can self-regulate our stress and anxiety through our breath. So, if you’re stressed or anxious, this podcast is for you!

A year ago, Emily was a completely different person.

Suffering from an autoimmune condition, acne, anxiety, digestive issues, fatigue, anxiety, hair falling out, and more, Emily had tried everything. It wasn’t until she started using Saturee supplementation and making nutrition and lifestyle changes that things began to drastically change.

Today, Emily IS an entirely new person. She’s a mum and lives on a farm, but she’s overcome so much. If you struggled with health issues during and after pregnancy, you might be able to relate to her story.
