Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

I found Emma and Ray Peat’s work after my divorce. It changed my life completely! Today, I’m so passionate about sharing it with women (I’m always sending people to their articles - such good info!). In this podcast episode, we asked Dr Ray Peat a ton of questions! We chat about: ➡️PUFAs and the beginnings of the ‘health’ myth surrounding them ➡️PUFAs vs other fats ➡️How PUFAs impact your metaboli...

I’ve never really had a burning desire to have children either has Craig. With everything happening in the world this last year, I just started to think what more there was to life. I imagined making another human with Craig and this is gonna sound cheesy but I love him so much 🤣. At first, Craig wanted to keep this to just us. I’m a bit of an over sharer and I’m very transparent but this was som...

A few weeks ago Craig and I caught up with Amy Bowe to talk about what it actually takes to transform your body in a healthy and sustainable way. Amy has been coaching for 12 years. She also has a dietetics degree, which she actually says was more clinical than her approach to food today. We both love Amy! She is actually located in Vancouver but is from Australia. She was an Olympic lifter, has a...

Kate’s been getting a little hate on some of her posts lately. And I get it too! There are always going to be people that disagree with you and that's ok but sometimes, when something challenges a person’s belief system, people can get a bit nasty… But we know that this is often not the entire story each and every time, so we decided to have a chat about this whole ‘cancel culture.’ When it co...

Last week I caught up with Kate Deering, Matt Blackburn, Danny Roddy and Georgi Dinkov to chat about vitamin D supplementation. In this podcast we will address both sides of the supplemental Vitamin D debate. A few notes for the listening audience. Vitamin D and its metabolites have many names, through out this interview it is good to know which ones are being discussed. 👉Cholecalciferol/ supplem...

About 6 months after I first met Craig, he had a bad shoulder injury. He went to about 5 different people - even got a cortisone shot. Eventually, a friend referred us to Jim. Jim is a nerve-lock specialist and both Craig and I just love him. After 3 visits with Jim, Craig’s shoulder was back to normal and he could return to training. Since then, we’ve sent hundreds of people to Jim. He’s just so...

Are you a woman who puts in so much effort in at the gym but your body just isn't changing? Well, that used to be me. I trained 6-7 days per week and I really thought I knew what I was doing! But my body certainly didn't look like it does now. That all changed when I met Craig. I get this question all the time from women "how should I train to achieve a toned and athletic body" So...

A few weeks ago I caught up with my friend Leila Luiz to record this podcast episode. I just love Leila, she is warm and open and we just clicked. The first time we went to record this we actually chatted for 1.5 hours and had to reschedule. Like me, she loves a good chinwag 😂 Leila is a Heath and Performance Coach of 18 years, riding the uncomfortable journey of healing and putting weight loss l...

In this episode, we chat about everything gelatin, including: ➡️The benefits of including more gelatin and hydrolyzed collagen in your diet ➡️Why it’s not just another form of protein ➡️Where gelatin comes from ➡️Different f...

Mel reminds me a bit of Samantha from Sex & The City. She just owns her sexuality and is very confident and open about it. We are actually really good friends and we talk about sex a lot. We always joke that she’s a bit like a guy in regards to sex 😂 She and Craig are much more open about it than I am (I’m getting better at this though!). But I really do admire how confident Mel is in her own...

Craig and I had half of the Strong Sisters, Ash Armstrong, on the show the other day! I love these girls. They're just so real and so genuine!

This one is full of over-shares and realness😂 We talk about: ➡️Their exp...

Keith Littlewood, also known as Tommo, has a Masters in Endocrinology, is an expert in all things to do with the endocrine system and hormones, and he’s also about to embark on his Ph. D. I thought it’d be fun to sit down and pick Keith’s brain about estrogen and the misconceptions associated with it, and he didn’t disappoint. There is so much goodness in this next episode! We chat about: ➡️ What...

Today I’m sitting down with our friend and author Hedley Derenzie. Hedley is the writer and author of six books, including her latest, Itsy & Bitsy: Two Little Boobs Who Dream Of Making It Big - a children’s-stylebook for adults inspired by a breast augmentation and then explant six months later.  I've had Hedley on the podcast before to talk about self-worth. If you’re a woman who struggl...

I remember when I got lip fillers, it was back when we still had our gym. Jake asked me what I did to my lips😂 It just looked so awful. I never did it again after that. I then did Botox for 18 months. I felt the pressure of being on social media and so many of the women look so perfect, I wanted to look better. After 18 months, I decided I wasn’t going to do it again. I realised it just wasn’t in...

I get this question all the time: ‘How do avoid pregnancy if I'm not on hormonal birth control?’ I often joke and say just do anal it's the only safe way.....KIDDING!!! 😂 We encourage women to avoid hormonal birth control, such as the pill as it shuts down ovulation and thins the uterine wall. This isn't great news for your metabolism because you're not ovulating and when you'...

Jane Davidson is such an inspiration! She's been in our Winatlife program for almost 2 years and her rheumatoid arthritis is now in remission. But she’s also struggled with her body image her entire life.  I know so many women in our audience struggle with similar issues, so I decided to sit down with Jane and talk about how she’s come to accept her body and love herself. We chat about: ➡️Her...

I actually trained with Thomas twice a week for 12 months, and I enjoyed it so much! He’s such an expert when it comes to powerlifting. We also sold our NuStrength gym to Thomas and we were so happy it found a good home!! One of the things I love about Thomas is he is so passionate about his craft and he has a methodology that just works. I saw so many improvements with my squat and deadlift techn...

If you’re new here or to the pro-metabolic lifestyle, you're going to love this recent chat I had with Matt Blackburn on the dangers of polyunsaturated fats. It can help clear a few things up and help you understand why we tend to avoid and limit PUFAs (including what foods they’re found in!). It’s surprising how much the fitness and health industry demonizes sugar but very rarely mentions how...

What really causes PCOS & Endometriosis & how you can improve them by eating sugar, carbs, and dairy with Tommo Littlewood. With PCOS and endometriosis, many women are met with ‘go on the pill’ as a one-stop solution to their problems. In this podcast episode, Tommo challenges conventional recommendations. Do you really need to go on the pill? What is really going on? He reveals: ➡️ How th...

In our program, WinAtLife, we are all about training and nutrition. But I think there is so much more to it. Many women come into this program - their journey - (me too) with insecurities, fears, and feelings about yourself. And I think when you finally start training and eating right, you become brave enough to face those things and tackle them head-on. Low self-worth is something I had for so lo...
