Fit Womens Weekly Podcast

If you ask Stacy, she'll tell you that I've been a blessing to her. That's not true. The moment I became her trainer, I was the one blessed. So much to learn from this woman and so much inspiration. After several tours through Iraq as a combat photographer, Stacy was forced to leave the military after sustaining severe injuries from a bomb. Her life changed, her lifestyle changed and her mind and...

Hello friends! In this week's episode, Ashley and I hit on quite a few topics... the biggest being: Is it possible to gain muscle without fat? And if so, how?  What kind of workouts should you do? What should your nutrition look like to fuel a body to gain a few healthy pounds of muscle and strength. As someone who has gained 15 pounds, you can imagine I have a few things to say about this one. Oh...

6 week nutrition challenges are popping up all over the place, and recently Ashley (@AshleyDrummonds) and I received the question... "Why does this particular meal challenge have my friends eating nothing but tilapia and asparagus?"  Our thoughts on this rigid meal plan plus catching up on our life happenings, workouts, books and more. Listen in and let us know what you think about 6 week challeng...

Macros, intermittent fasting, paleo, Whole30, keto... it's as if we need a plan to survive and eat. The other day I was telling Dan that I was going to start IF (intermittent fasting) with Alex to which he responded with... "Why do women need a plan for eating!? Why can't you just eat good food, leave out the sugar and just eat when you're hungry?" The man has a point. For so long, I've been track...

Girls Gone Wod with Joy and Claire is one of my favorite podcast. It's two friends sitting together and talking about life, food, fitness and everything else in between. But recently Joy has been having a lot of deep chats about body image, what's positive and what's negative and how women are bringing one another down on social media by showing off their bodies instead of physical strengths. As s...

We've heard stories about the women who lost their periods due to high intensity exercise, so they cut back for a bit, ate more and voila... period returns. (Listen to Ep 111 for Tina Muir's story). But that's not always the case. What happens when you cut back on exercise, relax more with food, and nothing happens? No period, no hormonal changes... just frustration and more waiting. That's what's...

Ashley (AshleyDrummonds.com) is back with me to discuss an issue that seems to be popping up everywhere: under eating.

In the current trend of Macros, undereating and overeating are getting lots of attention. Recently, we've heard u...

We all can agree on two things: 1). Social media is an important part of our society 2).

Because I love this lady and her passion to build confidence for other women, Ashley Drummonds a...
