Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

Chlo is a Dynamic Eating Psychology Coach and Therapeutic Nutrition Counselor. She has an inspiring story and comes from a pretty intense vegan and disordered eating background. She spent 11 years battling her body suffering from orthorexia, anorexia, amenorrhea and exercise addiction. Once she found pro-metabolic eating and added animal products back into her diet she got her period back, restore...

8 years ago I worked on a mine site for a large blue chip mining company. It was a FIFO role where I only worked 5 months of the year, I was paid well and I had amazing benefits. BUT I wasn't happy, I didn't feel fulfilled and I knew I needed to leave but I felt trapped because I was paid so well and I was scared to start again. Then I met Craig and found we had a shared love for training...

Noelle is a wonderful fellow pro-metabolic community member (I think she’s just gorgeous too on the inside and out!). I get a lot of questions from women around how to nourish themselves postpartum and when should they be focusing on fat loss? Noelle is super knowledgeable on all things fertility, pregnancy, & postpartum. She's also overcome a lot on her own health journey including PCOS a...

But Kitty I don't want to look muscular I just want to tone up. I've had quite a lot of women message me in the last few weeks saying they don't want to lift weights and become to muscular they just want to lose weight and tone up so wouldn't it be better to do pilates, yoga, classes, bootcamps and run?? I went into a store at ferry road a few months ago and the lady said to me &#3...

When I first found pro-metabolic eating I had become so out of tune with my body. I wasn't hungry in the morning, so I would skip breakfast. When I was hungry I was scared to eat because I thought I would gain weight. I trained regardless of how I was feeling because again, I thought if I didn't train and do cardio every day I would gain weight. For 17 years of my life when it came to food...

A few months ago I finally connected to this awesome jacked beast Sam Dancer. Sam is a high level CrossFit athlete and just all round awesome guy. Whenever I think of CrossFit, I can’t help but think of paleo 😂 Coincidentally, Sam has actually done paleo, along with carnivore-based eating, plant-based eating, intermittent fasting, and more. Luckily though, he found the light! So, I thought it’d b...

In this episode I sit down with Jess Ash Wellness, Leila Lutz, Libby Wescombe, Amy Bowe, Meg Langston, Loren De La Cruz and Adina Rubin to discuss how women should be training to support their metabolism and hormones and reach their goals. In this episode we cover: 👉 What does a healthy women with a healthy metabolism look like? 👉 Should I train fasted? 👉 How can I tell if I am recovering from...

He is also the founder of http://www.idealabsdc.com/ and has an amazing range of pro-metabolic supplements.

How many times has the voice in your head led you down a rabbit hole of negative self talk? "I’m not good enough" “I’m not smart enough” "I can't do this" "I’ll fail" “I’m fat" “I hate my body” I've definitely had times where I've doubted myself, times when the negative voices have crept in and taken over my thoughts. These silent conversations are so powerf...

Rebecca is part of our Break Free Basics program, and she has such an inspiring and amazing story. Not only has she lost 30kgs but she's also improved her PCOS and endometriosis symptoms. Her husband has also been on the journey with her and lost 25kgs...without eating 1200 calories, cutting sugar, carbs or doing a tonne of cardio. I wanted to interview Rebecca because so many women think that...

Balancing your blood sugar is a key foundation of a healthy metabolism and balanced hormones. So we thought we’d get together and talk more about what it actually means to balance your blood sugar as well as: ➡️What happens to your body when you go many hours or days without eating enough ➡️Myths surrounding carbs, fats, and blood sugar ➡️How blood sugar is regulated ➡️Protein and blood sugar regu...

Emma and I have known each other and worked together for years now. I met her around the same time I met my partner, Craig. A few years ago I messaged Emma saying I was thinking about doing skincare (we’d had so many discussions about how there just weren’t any good brands or lotions without nasties or PUFA's in them). Emma asked me if I wanted a business partner and the rest is history. It&#3...

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know Matt. We just had a bit of a catch up. He’s recently got engaged, bought a place on the lake - it’s completely off the grid! He’s been busy, but it was so nice to sit down and chat about his Mitolife product, Dissolve-it-all. I started taking Dissolve-it-all after I got my breast implants taken out in December 2020 to help with the scarring. To be hon...

So I know I talk about women a lot...because I am one 🤣 and our program is specifically for women. I remember when I first met Craig, at the same time I met my now business partner Emma Sgourakis. I was like a rat up a drain pipe 🤣 and quickly converted Craig to pro-metabolic eating. In fact when Craig and I opened our gym in 2015 we worked with both men and women for 3 years. Craig has a handfu...

I was so excited to have Lisa on the podcast! I'm a huge fan of her book The 5th Vital Sign. If you’re a woman and you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend you read it. Prior to finding Dr Ray Peat's work, Emma Sgourakis (my now business partner) and Craig I suffered with painful and irregular periods, PMS, I had a miscarriage, a D&C, polyps as well pre-cancerous cells removed fr...

We’ve had Dr. Peat on the podcast before, and it actually ended up being our most downloaded WinAtLife podcast. So, we brought him back again to discuss vitamin D, calcium and mineral metabolism.  There’s so much good information in this one! Dr. Peat offers up a lot of clarity when it comes to the great vitamin D debate. So, should you supplement vitamin D? Should you not? What else should you kn...

I feel Keith Littlewood needs no introduction! He’s been on our podcast plenty of times. He’s just a wealth of information, so we decided to sit down and talk about why some of these so called health foods like raw green veggies, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils may not be so super for our health after all! I remember back in my crazy diet days I cut all sugar, fruit and dairy from my diet and had g...

I want to start this by saying this is by no means about criticising women with cellulite. The reason I did this podcast with Len is because I get so many questions from women - How do I get rid of cellulite?? Len is one of the women in our Winatlife program, she's in her 50's and has two kids. She is just so funny and gorgeous. She always keeps it real and post's the funniest videos i...

I’ve got a ton of questions from women about progesterone, so Kate and I decided to sit down and cover it all. In this podcast episode, we talk about: 👉Repercussions of not having a menstrual cycle 👉Why having a real period and ovulating is important 👉Importance of progesterone throughout the body 👉Protective functions of progesterone 👉The temperature, ovulation, and progesterone connection...

I get a lot of questions from women asking me if I want to lose weight and tone up how many days should I be training and should I be doing cardio? So I decided to sit down with Craig (my partner in business and in life), fondly known as Coach Sausage in our program. One night on a round table I called him sausage and the name has stuck with him ever since. 🤣 Prior to meeting Craig I was stuck on...

Anna is 33 years old, lives in the US, is married, and, like me, has her fur babies! And her story is so fascinating! I’m sure many women can relate. She spent a large majority of her life spinning her wheels in the wrong directions. Diagnosed with PCOS when she was younger, she was told all the garbage advice like to cut dairy and eat more leafy greens. Anna says that her health journey even star...

It was so great to have Kori and Fallon on the podcast. They are both such beautiful and inspiring women who also preach the same message!! A few weeks ago the three of us sat down and discussed the unrealistic expectations the fitness/diet industry sets around weight and body fat for women. We talk about: ➡️Restrictive dieting and why it always leads to binge eating ➡️Our experiences with disorde...

If you've followed me for a while you'll know I did every protocol of fasting for 12 months and I felt great in the beginning (because I was running off stress hormones) but after a while I developed painful and irregular periods, my sleep suffered, I was tired and my hair was falling out. I know so many other women who have gone down the same path so I thought I would catch up with friend...

Do you find it hard to say no to a simple request? One of the biggest things I see in our Winatlife program is women's inability to say NO. Women are conditioned from birth to say yes to please others. If this is something you struggle with you are not alone. Many women feel they can't put their energy, time and bodies first. When you say yes to things you don’t have time to do, what you d...

If you have endometriosis, chronic thrush or metabolic issues give this one a listen! Lou has been in our WinAtLife program for about 18 months now. She is 45 years old, works full-time, and has two kids and her partner also has two kids. Lou has suffered for a long time with endometriosis. Prior to joining the program she had 5 surgeries as well as an ablation which of course did not fix her issu...
