Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

We have one of our awesome clients, Amanda Batchelor, on the podcast this time around! Amanda is 49 years old, has two jobs, and two teenage kids. When she first joined the program, she was doing a lot of stuff. She was into Crossfit, doing strict keto, fasting, and previously did triathlons. But all of this led to Amanda ending up in a bad emotional state and hormonal issues. Today, Amanda is wal...

Prior to meeting Craig I used to train to burn as many calories as possible! I did so many classes, HIIT and long runs. When I met Craig he said to me you need to stop destroying the body you have with cardio and restrictive diets and build the body you want with real food and strength training. I learned about the benefit of lifting weights and getting stronger for body composition change: more m...

We get lots of questions from women trying to get healthy and achieve their body goals. If you haven’t seen Part 1 of this Q&A, go back and give that one a listen first. This is Part 2. In this episode, Craig and I answer questions about: ➡️Loose skin after losing weight ➡️Breastfeeding, nutrition, and training ➡️Healthy weight loss per week ➡️Nutrition and training for the morbidly obese ➡️Ou...

We welcome back Kate on the podcast for the millionth time! We joke this should be the Kitty and Kate Show. This time we talk about menopause and common questions that come up with it. Kate has a really good way of taking complex subjects and making them easy to understand so I thought this was a good one to dig into together. In this episode, Kate and I chat about: ➡️What is menopause? ➡️Perimeno...

We get so many questions about training and nutrition, so I decided to do a Q&A with Craig to answer a bunch of these common questions (and this is only part 1!). In this episode, Craig and I answer questions about: ➡️What counts for daily steps ➡️Fat consumption and how much you need ➡️Chickpea pasta is it ok to eat every day? ➡️Reverse carb cycling do you recommend this? ➡️Protein intake wha...

Kathleen is one of our lovely coaches! If you’ve listened to the podcast before, you’ll know I’ve been interviewing our coaching roaster so you can get to know them more. Kathleen is our coach based in the United States. She lives near New York and the beach! She is also one of our coaches that doesn’t have kids. Kathleen is our youngest coach at 29 but is very intelligent, and she gets amazing re...

I talk with a lot of women, and often hear, “One thing I’m really nervous about is going to the gym.” And I get it. You go into the weight room, and all the big boys are there. It’s intimidating. When I first started training, I was nervous too! But once I got my technique down and started hitting some PBs, I felt more confident, and it was so motivating. So, in this episode, Craig and I discuss:...

We had Brandon on the podcast discussing the benefits of NEAT previously, so if you haven’t listened to that one, go back and give it a listen! Daily movement is such a good tool for fat loss and overall better health. So many women come to us after doing crazy restrictive diets, binging on food, and drinking alcohol. They often complain of poor sleep, menopause issues, and low metabolic function....

Lou has been in our coaching program for over 2.5 years. She has kids, works full-time, and is really busy, but we’ve had her on the podcast before to talk about tips and tricks to make tracking your food simple with a family, so go check out that one if you haven’t already! I wanted to get Lou back on the podcast to talk about her incredible journey. When she first started with us, she had terrib...

Meg is back on the podcast. We’ve had her on here twice already, and I just love Meg. She works with women to restore their metabolic health, hormones, and digestion. I love that Meg looks at the system as a whole and doesn’t just treat the symptoms of her clients. So, with that in mind, in this episode, Meg and I chat about: ➡️Why it isn’t great to eat nuts and seeds in large amounts ➡️How digest...

After specific requests for this one, Craig (my other half) is back. We have worked with so many women who wonder why they don’t see results quicker. Usually, this comes down to not following the plan and not trusting the process or practicing patience. Change takes time. This is something many of us tend to forget. Most of the women I talk to have been dieting for 10,20 or even 30 years, that&#39...

Anna is 27 years old, has a three-year-old son, and lives in Missouri. I admire mums so much; it’s such hard work at times! Anna has had an incredible transformation in our program after joining about 20 weeks ago. I love to get women on here to share their stories to motivate others to stop doing quick-fix diets and eat some real food! So, in this episode, Anna and I chat about: ➡️Annas dieting h...

I’m joined by my co-host and co-founder, Craig (also my partner in crime, business, and life!). We did a really simple episode for women who are new to following us and don’t know where to start. What we find is that a lot of women can easily become overwhelmed, so let’s break this all down! In this episode, Craig and I discuss: ➡️Why it's important to eat regular well balanced meals ➡️The imp...

Kate Deering (author of How to Heal Your Metabolism) is back on the podcast! In this episode, we dig into the essential differences between a healing, healthy, and fat-loss phases of pro-metabolic nutrition. The recommendations for these three phases are very different and each individual may require a different approach. So, Kate and I get into it a bit more and chat about: ➡️The restrict-binge c...

At 31 going on 32 and with two young children, Hannah has had an incredible journey. She also has the most amazing red hair. It’s so beautiful! Hannah’s story begins when she had her first child in 2019, then experienced a horrible injury, and couldn’t walk for 3 months! She tried to regain strength and mobility but then got pregnant again. Throughout her second pregnancy, she had hip pain, and kn...

Libby has been on the podcast a few times before. I would definitely recommend going back and listening to those episodes (and go follow her on Instagram!). She’s smart, hot as Fk 🤣 and a perfect example of how you can look great naked and be healthy. Plus she's super knowledgeable on all things muscle, recovery, and HRV...just love her. In this episode, Libby and I discuss: ➡️Why thinking of...

Craig, my cofounder of Nustrength and cohost, and I are back! In this episode, we are digging into everything about sleep and offering up tips to get a good night's sleep. So many women that come into our program struggle with it. When I was on those bloody restrictive diets, I also struggled with sleep. Then, over the past two years, when we were trying to conceive, I had so much trouble slee...

We have so many amazing coaches and friends as part of our company and mission, so I wanted to do a coaches series where we talk to our coaches and hear their stories. Mel is an amazing coach and friend. I’ve known her almost as long as I’ve known Craig. She has such an incredible and inspiring story. Mel has also had heaps of success with so many women who have had a lot of weight to lose. Mel ha...

I get a lot of questions from women asking, “Kitty, will I have to track strictly forever? What happens when you get to a place where you’re happy with your body weight and body composition?” So, in this episode, Craig and I discuss: ➡️The times when you need to be precise with tracking and the times when you don't ➡️How long to fat loss phases typically last ➡️Maintenance calories and what th...

We had Ash and Sarah on the podcast a while back, so it was about time we had a catch-up! They now have a new course, a regenerative farm, and a wedding barn. These girls have been busy. It’s amazing what they are doing with their regenerative farm. If you don’t already follow them, definitely do! In this episode, Ashley, Sarah, and I chat about: ➡️Their healing journey ➡️The importance of animal...

If you’ve lost your way and feel like you're off track then this episode is for you. I always get asked by women how to get back on track so we thought we'd make a podcast episode for you. In this episode, Craig and I discuss: ➡️Why it's important not beating yourself up when mistakes happen ➡️How to move forward and focus forward not backwards ➡️What is the first thing you should focu...

This is the third time we’ve had Anna on the podcast! Anna has had the most incredible physical, emotional, and mental transformation over the last four years in our program. She started when she was 40, and she’s 44 years old now. Throughout the last four years, she’s been through a divorce, moved house 8 times and became a single mum with 4 kids. But she always perseveres! I think Anna’s journey...

I used to train under-fueled and undernourished. I’d drink black coffee in the morning, then go and train fasted. This is a bad strategy if you want to optimise your body composition. After meeting Craig, I realised when I actually ate before training, my performance was so much better. So, I wanted to discuss the importance of pre-workout, intra-workout and post-workout nutrition. In this episode...

The world’s strongest bodybuilder is back! We got so much great feedback from our first podcast with big Stan that I thought I’d get him back on to discuss losing weight in a healthy and sustainable way. Stan is the creator of The Vertical Diet, which is a similar nutrition approach that we recommend in our program. He is a wealth of knowledge and just an all round good guy! In this episode, Stan...

Craig and I wanted to record a really practical episode about food prep, so here it is! Most of the women in our program who have success, do food prep week-in and week-out. It just makes things super easy! So, in this episode, Craig and I discuss: ➡️How to food prep successfully ➡️What we do for food prep ➡️How to manage food prep with a family ➡️Examples of meals and snacks that are easy to prep...
