In this week's episode, I'm snorkelling through a few things I'm watching and enjoying, I'll be sharing my thoughts on a viral clip featuring Oprah and a panel discussing weight loss, calories, and obesity. Additionally, I'll touch on the Andrew Huberman article and the backlash it's stirred up. And of course, I'll be answering some listener questions!
1. Best way to get back to maintenance calories after being in a deficit for 10 months and losing close to 40lbs?
2. Any options for high protein breakfast, it’s my biggest struggle!
3. How do you approach fat loss when you know your genetics are working against you? Just accept that it’ll be harder? Assume I’ll be eating poverty calories all my life?
4. Can you turn body fat into muscle without a calorie deficit?

In this week's episode I'm talking about the differences between self-care and self-indulgence, how I find it hard to rest without feeling like it's self-indulgence. I talk about a conversation I had with a client where she asked, "how come they can eat so much more than me and look so fit?" I also share my thoughts on the LIB finale, Instacart, Marry, F*ck, Kill: Pancakes, Waffles, and French Toast, and I play a clip from a very popular podcast (Your Mom's House) and talk through my answer to their hard-hitting question.

For this week's episode, I've reached out to my internet friend, Natalie, for her thoughts, opinions, and predictions for LIB. I'll also be sharing my own thoughts and feelings about the show thus far. Plus, I'll chat about a few things I've been loving lately, and answering your HOT FIRE questions from IG:
Q: favourite meals/snacks/desserts for cutting phase?
Q: DO you ever use THC?
Q: What are you most looking forward to?
Q: How can I tell if I should increase my weights at the gym…I want to keep progressing but don’t want to increase when I shouldn’t.
Q: I used a TDEE calculator, what are your thoughts on it? It calculated my maintenance calories, but honestly I feel so full I can’t hardly hit calorie count. Mostly focusing on protein, right now at 125g.
Q: How to stop overeating desserts and treats?
Q: If you’ve been in a fat loss phase and reach your goal weight, do you switch to maintenance calories and continue to train in the same manner? Is there such a thing as maintenance for muscle development.
Q: Any recipe or meal prep guides that you can suggest?

In this week's episode, I'm talking about practical vs optimal health practices, an unfiltered Love is Blind recap, recapping parents weekend, and answering your HOT FIRE questions from Instagram:⬇️
Q: Can you go into a deep dive on Zone 2 Cardio for a total newb who wants to incorporate cardio for health but is really nervous about losing strength?Q: I absolutely hate Glute bridges and hip thrusts, are they an absolute to build a booty? Am I able to swap them out and still build? If so, what would be some great swaps?
Q: Collagen seems to work for my hair and nails, but I’ve heard it’s not a complete protein. Can I count it at all towards my daily protein goal?
Q: It seems like you don’t eat a lot of carbs with your meals, do you eat Keto or just lower carb and higher fat?
Q: 6 weeks into a cut with custom macro count, down 5lbs with fluctuations along the way. Feel like this is slow progress, keep going or lower calories? I’m getting above 8k steps about 5 days a week.
Q: How much alcohol do you personally drink? What is a reasonable amount when trying to healthy, like per week or month?
Q: How do you support clients with fat loss when they don’t want to track?
