Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

I came across Peta years ago when we were both in Isagenix.  We then crossed paths again when she started using Saturée skincare and I sent her some of our new Methlyne Blue serum to try.  She even did a block of coaching with Nyssa in our 16 week WinAtLife Accelerator program because she wanted a challenge.   I just love her and her perspective on things so I invited her to come onto the podcast...

Most women think perimenopause just happened to them. It didn't. Your 30s were the set up. The skipped meals, the 12-hour days, the normalised stress, the sleep you pushed through. Your body was compensating the whole time. Perimenopause just removed the buffer. The good news is you didn't break anything. You depleted your resources. And you can absolutely build them back. I did a deep div...

Katie came on the podcast this week and said something I haven't stopped thinking about. "If you think investing in your health is expensive, get cancer. When you're lying in a hospital bed, you don't care about money. You would pay anything." She's 42. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2024. Medically induced coma. 10 weeks in hospital. Learned to walk and write he...

Part 2 is here and this one might be the most important podcast I've ever put out. If you missed Part 1, go back and listen to POD390 first. This episode picks up where we left off and goes deep on the hormonal side of things. @ash.healthcoach, @nyssa_bovenkamp and @natashabwellness and I cover  → Why HRT is not fixing the root cause  → What's actually happening with estrogen and progester...

Three of our NuStrength Aussie coaches. One unfiltered conversation. Zero holding back. In Part 1 of this two-part series, @ash.healthcoach, @nyssa_bovenkamp and @natashabwellness break down what it actually takes to transform your body after 40, the stuff most coaches won't tell you. We're talking:  → Why your metabolism is more under-active than you think  → The difference between weight...

Bethany was a nurse doing a PhD, competing in triathlons every fortnight, surviving on 4–6 antihistamines a day, and terrified to eat a sweet potato. She thought she was doing everything right. She wasn't. And honestly? It's not her fault. No one teaches women this stuff. Bethany is 36, lives on an acreage in Australia, and has been in our programme for just over 13 months.  In this episod...

The sun has been demonised for decades. Slip, slop, slap. Cover up. Wear SPF. Avoid UV at all costs. And yet… skin cancers are still rising. People who've never been in the sun are getting them on the bottoms of their feet, on their backs, in places that see zero sunlight.  My own family who've avoided the sun their whole lives have all had skin cancers removed. My brother, who never got s...

She joined our team as a coach. But first? She had a tumour removed. Lost circulation in her arm. Was diagnosed with autoimmune disease. Bled through her period so badly she thought something was seriously wrong. And spent years being dismissed. Meet Natasha NuStrength's newest coach, nutritionist, and the woman who has genuinely been through it. 🙌 In this episode we cover: Why she weighed 55...

The hormone therapy conversation is getting LOUDER, but is it getting more honest? 🤔 I sat down with my brilliant friend Anne Marie McQueen, founder of Hot Flash Inc and we went there. Like, really went there. We talked about:  → The estrogen narrative that's being pushed (and who's profiting from it)  → Why hot flashes might not be a hormone problem at all  → The foods that were wrecking...

A few weeks ago I sat down with Kathleen Stewart and we talked for 3 hours straight. It was so good I split it into three separate 60 minute episodes. This is Part 3 the final one and honestly it might be my favourite. In Part 1 we went deep on Ben's cancer recovery and the full holistic protocol. In Part 2 Kathleen and I got into tracking, training, Ozempic and why most women aren't getti...

A few weeks ago I sat down with Kathleen Stewart and we talked for 3 hours straight. It was so good I split it into three separate 60 minute episodes. This is Part 2. In Part 1 we went deep on my brother Ben's cancer recovery, the full holistic protocol, why eating enough was non-negotiable, and the emotional root cause that drove every bad habit. If you missed it, I would highly recommend lis...

A few weeks ago I sat down with Kathleen Stewart and we talked for 3 hours straight. I loved it so much I couldn't bring myself to cut it down so I've split it into three separate 60 minute episodes instead. In Part 1 we dive deep into something really personal to me. My brother was told he had 14 months to live. That only 15% of people with this type of cancer survive beyond 5 years. Stag...

Meet Leanne. 48 years old, working full time, living in the NT and quietly transforming her health in a way that left her doctor shaking her head. She’s now  ✅ Lost 16.3kg   ✅ Gained muscle ✅ Lost 69cm off her body  ✅ Reduced body fat by 11.2%  ✅ Got her blood sugar, cholesterol, liver AND vitamin D all back in normal range And she did it eating 2,000 calories a day. Including pasta. Risotto....

18 months from now you could be the woman who meal preps without thinking, eats delicious carbs and more food without guilt, feels good in her body, loves her training and how strong she is, and never dreads Monday morning again.  OR you could still be starting over every week. 😅 The difference? This conversation. Aram and I went full no-BS on what actually creates a lasting transformation and it...

I’m honestly so excited about this episode 🥹 We’ve known Kate Deering since we opened the gym back in 2015, and she’s had such a huge influence on the way we think about metabolism, hormones, and women’s health. We’ve worked with her on and off over the years, learned so much from her, and she’s just one of those people who really understands how the body works. So this conversation felt really s...

For 12 years Rochelle slowly gained weight and felt completely stuck. She knew she wasn’t feeling her best, but there was a deeper problem beneath the surface. In her twenties she had struggled with anorexia and bulimia. So every time she thought about losing weight, it brought up the fear of going back to that place again. She didn’t want to punish her body. She didn’t want to obsess over food. A...

So many women come to me saying: “My libido is gone.” “I’m just tired all the time.” “Maybe it’s just my age.” And yes… hormones matter. Stress matters. Under-eating matters. This is what I help women optimise and improve in my program. But after working with thousands of women, I can tell you this: It’s not low estrogen. Desire doesn’t disappear overnight. It slowly shuts down when a woman feels:...

You’re not angry. You’re afraid. Afraid you’re not enough. Afraid you’ll lose everything. Afraid you can’t trust him. Afraid you can’t trust yourself. And so you control. You push. You overwork. You overthink. You “fix.” I did it in my marriage. I did it in my business. I even did it with my body. What I didn’t realise was this: My fear was louder than my love. In this episode with Greta we talk a...

Most women are not failing because they are lazy. They are failing because they do not have a clear method… and they do not have accountability. In this episode Craig flips the script and interviews me on the two biggest reasons women stay stuck with their fat loss and health goals. We break down: • Why cycling through keto, fasting and low calorie plans keeps you spinning your wheels • Why “doing...

There are transformations that change your body, and then there are transformations that change your life. Today’s podcast episode is one of those stories. Jen came into our world five years ago wanting a training program. What she actually found was herself. Yes, her body changed, dramatically. She recomped, built muscle, lost body fat, healed her digestion, lost pain, and learned how to fuel her...

I recorded one of the most heartfelt podcast episodes I have ever done with my beautiful friend Dee. Dee helps homeless dogs here in Thailand, and I honestly do not know anyone who gives more of themselves than she does. She moved here after losing her parents, feeling broken, and somehow found healing through saving the dogs that nobody else would save. The abandoned pier dogs The sick puppies Th...

Loved this podcast with Paul so much.  I went for over 2 hours so I split it into 2 parts....this is part 2. Before you listen to this Make sure you’ve listened to Part 1 first. Part 1 explains Why muscle growth actually happens Part 2 explains Why fat loss gets confusing once you start lifting In this episode Paul and I unpack 👉 When body recomp works and when it doesn’t 👉 Why dieting too hard...

You’ve been doing the work in the gym But your body hasn’t changed And you’re starting to wonder if  • It’s your hormones  • Your age  • Your genetics  • Or your metabolism It’s not In this podcast episode Paul Carter and I break down  👉Why most women aren’t building muscle, even when they train consistently. We talk about  • The only real driver of muscle growth  • Why strength matters more than...

There is one number that has controlled women for decades. And it is not just sabotaging their body composition. It is sabotaging their peace. In this episode Craig and I started talking about scale weight. But what unfolded was something much deeper than numbers, fat loss, or progress photos. Yes, we unpack why obsessing over body weight alone keeps women stuck. Why you can lose fat, gain muscle,...

Most women struggle with sustainable weight loss because: They're under eating and then binge eating. They're under muscled. And wildly inconsistent or keep chasing quick fixes that always end the same way! You cannot out hack biology. You cannot out cardio a slow metabolism and inconsistent nutrition. And you cannot get A+ results from C+ actions. The hard truth Muscle, carbs and consiste...
