Is Cortisol Really the Enemy? The Truth About HIIT & Hormones | E142 14.07.2025

You’ve heard the claims: “Cortisol is making you store belly fat.” “HIIT is destroying your hormones.” “Walking and Pilates is better than HIIT and heavy lifting.” But are these messages really helping women? Or is it making them unnecessarily  fearful? In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about cortisol, high-intensity training, and chronic stress. I cover: Why cortisol is getting a bad r...

How (& Why) To Stop Drinking Alcohol | E141 07.07.2025

In this episode, I’m talking all things alcohol - from my fun times with drink, to why I slowly decided to stop drinking altogether. There was no dramatic pledge or New Years resolution.

Is Creatine For Women? | E140 23.06.2025

A marketing campaign I saw last week ruffled my feathers. A supplement brand is releasing a new collection of creatine products “designed for women”. They hide under the guise of educating women and making it “for them”. But to me, it looks a bit more like PINK TAX. In this episode I'm spilling the tea on why I had an issue with the campaign, and what my personal recommendations are for women...

Preventing Muscle Loss On Holiday | E137 02.06.2025

It's the time of year where many of you will be jetting off for a well-deserved break to soak up some sunshine or explore a new city. But with that might be coming a little bit of concern around what will happen to your body when you can't hit the gym or track your macros as you might usually do at home... Today I'm giving you all my best advice for how to avoid losing muscle whilst...

Does The Scale Dictate Your Mood? | E136 26.05.2025

Relationship status with the scale: it's complicated. Today we're unpacking why so many women have their self-worth and success governed by a random number that nobody else knows. We'll first be talking about where the obsession with weight comes from and why it's seen as a metric of success. Before going on to explore the MANY other factors that can impact your body weight tha...

My Best Advice For New Runners | E135 19.05.2025

I've gone from a self-proclaimed running hater to completing my first marathon over the past few years. I remember the way sense of achievement I got after my first 10k (and I also remember how much my joints were screaming at me and how exhausted I felt for the rest of the day). I've also been navigating the balance between running and training in the gym because I've worked too ha...

Everything I’d Do If I Wanted To Lose Weight Fast For Summer | E134 12.05.2025

Not long ago it felt like we had HEAPS of time until summer. Holidays felt like a distant prospect and our puffer coats and scarves kept us feeling comfortable. All of a sudden, here we are in mid-May and those summer plans are suddenly a reality and you're starting to get concerned... Before you buy a "fat burner" supplement from TikTok shop or order a 14-day juice cleanse from Ama...

How To Prevent "Self-Sabotage" | E132 21.04.2025

Why is it that we always mess things up and end up in "screw-it" mode when we start seeing results?! You'd think seeing changes in your body and feeling more confident would be motivating, but some people find it actually makes them take their foot off the gas... A voice in the back of their mind starts saying: "Treat yourself this weekend, you deserve it" "Having a f...

Get Lean Whilst Eating Your Favourite Foods? | E131 14.04.2025

"Get your dream body with zero restrictions😍" It's a really nice sentiment. Much better than the toxic diet culture messaging of the past. But is it really true? Can you get lean and transform the way you look without giving up any of your favourite foods? Let's talk about it. You know I'm not here to bullshit you or sell you a dream, so in today's episode I'll...

How To Avoid "Redundant" Exercises | E130 07.04.2025

When I first started lifting, I thought a good workout was simply a group of good exercises. Unfortunately, there’s a bit more to it than that… See you could write a session made up of GREAT glute exercises but it could still be a “bad” overall workout. In today’s podcast episode I explain exactly what to look out for in your workouts that might suggest you’re doing “redundant” exercises so you do...

4-Weeks Out From My First Marathon! [Update!] | E129 31.03.2025

Shit is getting real. I’m officially 1 month out from my very first marathon😅 When I signed up last year, it felt like such a distant prospect. Something that was a problem for future-me. Well, here’s future me dealing with the decision that version of me made. In all seriousness, I’m kind of looking forward to it. I’ve worked bloody hard and I *think* I can do the distance at this point. The que...

The Rise Of SkinnyTok | E128 24.03.2025

Thinness is back. I mean, it never really left, but over the past 5ish years it was re-packaged as "wellness". The body positivity movement grew, even to an extent that wanting to change your body was a bit taboo.  But this year, from the celebs at the award shows to the influencers on our feeds, we're seeing bodies get smaller again. It's the desirable thing. The fashion. In t...

How I Eat Out Multiple Times Per Week & Stay On Track | E127 17.03.2025

In the past, going out to eat would really stress me out. How will I know my macros if I can't track? What if I go over my calories for the day? In my mind, eating out = off track.  Often I'd end up over-eating when I got home because I thought the day was already ruined. Years down the line I now have a much broader perspective of the impact (or lack of) a few meals out each week. I als...

"Holding onto fat" because you're not eating enough? | E126 10.03.2025

“Your calories are too low so your body is holding on to fat” “Reverse diet to lose fat on higher calories” “Your metabolism has been damaged by your low calorie diet” If you follow any fitness content online I'm sure you've heard it all before. Some people *do* start losing fat when they increase their calorie intake, but not for the reason some of these coaches like to make out... Toda...

Are All Calories Made Equal? | E125 03.03.2025

Clean eating vs IIFYM Whole foods vs Ultra-processed foods Good/healthy foods vs Bad/unhealthy foods If calories are the same, does it  actually matter what we eat? In today's episode I discuss how much you should be worried about processed foods, whether a whole-foods diet is best for everyone and if fat loss is impacted by the food choices you make. If you're finding your nutrition str...

In the final live coaching call of Project Cut I'm answering members' questions about their return to maintenance once the program is over so they can maintain their fat loss for the long run.

Build Muscle From Home! | E124 17.02.2025

Here’s how it often goes for people who train from home: They follow YouTube videos or workouts on an app and see really good results. They get fitter, lose weight, but after a while, those results start to slow down and they enter a bit of a plateau… Their physique isn’t really changing, they’ve not yet reached that sculpted, muscular look they’ve been aiming for, and they’re wondering why their...
