If you've ever wondered about what truly matters in weight loss and women's health, this episode is a goldmine. I'm back with an incredible guest, Allie Kass, a former bodybuilder turned functional health and fitness coach.

Allie is passionate about helping stressed-out women optimize their metabolism, up-level their mindset, and shift from surviving to thriving. After losing her mom to cancer, she dedicated her life to helping women lead long, healthy lives full of vitality.

In this episode, we dive deep into topics like hormones, gut health, and the major role emotions and beliefs play in our overall well-being. Allie talks about her experiences with extreme dietary approaches during her bodybuilding days and how her views have evolved since then.

She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, listening to your body, and doing what truly supports your health instead of just focusing on calorie counting and dietary restrictions. We also discuss practical strategies for managing stress, tuning into your body, and building healthy habits that reduce inflammation in the body and foster true wellness.

So make sure you tune in to learn from Allie's extraordinary insights and advice, and let's take another step closer to living our healthiest, happiest lives!

If you’re in the cycle of stress and burnout and searching for answers is leaving your nervous system even more on edge, this episode is for you. Stress and burnout are so common in our society, but the key to getting healthy again is getting to the root cause of it and retraining our nervous system to not be so on edge all the time.

If you’ve been struggling with weight loss, especially if you’re over 40 or approaching that age, you’re not alone. In today's episode, I'm joined by the amazing Louise Digby, a BANT registered nutritional therapist and weight loss expert. Louise is here to help me debunk some common metabolic myths about weight loss and dieting that are commonly seen all over the internet.

We dive into how hormonal changes — particularly with estrogen and progesterone — impact weight and metabolism and discuss practical ways to repair and support your body during these transitions. We also take a closer look at the underestimated role of toxic load and how that can disrupt both your hormones and your weight loss efforts.

Louise emphasizes the importance of eating whole, unprocessed foods, strength training, and hydration. Plus, we unravel why focusing on foundational health can combat issues far more effectively than restrictive dieting.

To all the women feeling overwhelmed by this journey, Louise reassures us that you don’t have to tackle everything at once — small, mindful changes can make a huge difference. Tune in, and let's turn your hormones into your metabolic superpowers!
