Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

Are you being told your only solution is more estrogen? If you’re in your 40s or 50s, chances are you’ve started experiencing symptoms like: 🔥 Hot flashes 😵‍💫 Brain fog 💤 Poor sleep 💥 Mood swings 💪 Weight gain (especially around the midsection) And what do most doctors say? You’re low in estrogen just take HRT. But what if that’s not the root cause?  What if it’s not just about low hormones,...

Irene came to us at 44, a chef, yoga instructor, business owner, and completely overwhelmed. ✔️ She moved her body constantly between the kitchen and yoga, she wasn’t sedentary and felt like she was eating healthy But here’s what was really going on behind the scenes: ❌ She couldn’t stop gaining weight ❌ Her body felt soft, inflamed, and unfamiliar ❌ Her IUD masked her cycle but the rage, hot f...

You’re doing all the “right” things... Eating clean. Exercising regularly. Skipping sugar. Still gaining weight. Still exhausted. Still bloated. 🙃 Sound familiar? Or you’ve tried every diet and now you’re completely confused about what to eat to lose fat, build muscle, and balance your hormones. If you’re over 40 and feel like your body is fighting against you… this post (and the podcast behind i...

She was 49, freezing all the time, gaining weight, and feeling totally defeated. After trying everything from keto and veganism to hormone clinics and Weight Watchers Amanda was told her body was just getting older… and was prescribed thyroid meds and testosterone pellets. But nothing changed. She didn’t feel better. She didn’t lose weight. She just felt stuck. Then she found us through one of Dan...

There was a time I didn’t trust myself.   A time I constantly doubted my decisions.   A time I gave away my power to anyone I thought was “smarter” than me. And honestly, it nearly broke me. After years of trying to prove I was enough by building a business, running on fear, outsourcing my voice, and chasing endless growth, I hit the wall.   Business breakdowns, relationship strain, an identity cr...

She was 25, inflamed, exhausted, and ready to give up… Vivian had tried it all, carnivore, fasting, 24-hour fasts, cutting carbs hoping it would finally “fix” her body. But nothing worked. Her weight kept climbing. Her periods were painful. Her skin broke out in hormonal acne. And every day at work as a nurse felt like survival. Then she got diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and things hit a whole new lo...

We’re back on the mic! 🎙️ It’s been a minute since we dropped a podcast... and not because we were sipping cocktails on the beach in Thailand (I wish 🤪).  We’ve been balls deep in finishing the last bit of development for our app (so stoked it's finished and it's fucking amazing we've been getting so much great feedback from clients as well as amazing results), supporting our 28 Day C...

When Marcelle found us, she was 48 and stuck in a cycle of overtraining, under-eating, and constant pain. She’d cut carbs. Cut sugar. Lived on almond milk, broccoli, tuna, and green smoothies. Trained 6 days a week, often fasted. Barely slept. Binge ate on weekends. And was told by doctors to “just accept” her endometriosis and adenomyosis symptoms. 💭 She was eating 1200 calories 💭 Doing HIIT, b...

Thinking about HRT? Before you jump on the hormone train, especially if you’re in your 40s or 50s, PLEASE listen to this episode first. I recorded this with Jay Feldman (@jfwellness), and it’s hands down one of the most important convos I’ve had around perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy. Here’s what we cover (that most doctors aren’t telling you): ⚠️ Why it’s progesterone, not estrogen,...

I used to think I had a “broken metabolism”...   Turns out, I just didn’t understand what metabolism actually was. For years I was tired, cold, bloated, and stuck in a cycle of clean eating, crazy HIIT classes, excessive cardio, and constant restriction then binge eating.   I thought I was doing everything “right” but my body felt like it was working against me. Then I discovered a totally differe...

Struggling with perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms? Hot flashes. Mood swings. Weight gain. Insomnia. Low libido. You’ve probably been told, “It’s just low estrogen.” And the fix? HRT.. But what if the problem isn’t low estrogen? What if the real issue is that your metabolism and thyroid needs support — thanks to years of under eating either intentionally through restrictive dieting or unintenti...

When Isha found us, she was 41, a busy working mum, and completely burnt out from trying to “fix” her body. She was doing everything she thought she was supposed to—fasted HIIT 5–6 days a week, barely eating, and constantly chasing results that never came. Despite her efforts, she felt exhausted, anxious, and stuck in a body she didn’t recognise. Her PMS was debilitating, she couldn’t sleep, her t...

When Magdalena joined us, she thought she just needed to lose 3 kilos. She was already active, loved running, and doing her best to eat “healthy.” But the fat wasn’t budging, and her body composition didn’t reflect the effort she was putting in. Like many women over 40, she started to believe: “Maybe this is just what my body looks like now.” “Maybe I need to run more and eat less.” “The gym isn’t...

For years, women have been told that creatine is just for bodybuilders. But the reality? It’s one of the most well-researched and effective supplements for muscle growth, metabolism, energy, and even hormonal balance. In my latest podcast with Craig, we break down: 🔥 Why all women should take creatine—not just those looking to build muscle. ⚡ How it fuels your metabolism by improving ATP product...

Think eating less and training more is the only way to lose weight? Spoiler: That’s exactly why you’re stuck. Let’s break it down in this episode. I sat down with Emmalee—holistic health practitioner, former nurse, and all-around badass—to talk about how so many women are stuck in survival mode, under-eating, over-stressed, and under-muscled.   Emmalee’s story is incredible—she was diagnosed with...

Most women in their 40's think they need to drastically cut calories, cut carbs, and do more HIIT classes and cardio to lose weight… but this is exactly what’s keeping you stuck. If you’ve been restricting food, feeling exhausted, and still not seeing results, it’s time to change the approach. Because the key to breaking free from restrictive diets and actually losing weight for good comes dow...

Imagine being in your late 20s, exhausted, bloated, and constantly searching for the answer to your health struggles—only to be told that your body was shutting down. That was Carrie. At just 16 years old, she was diagnosed with PCOS, prediabetes, and severe digestive issues. Doctors warned her she might never have kids. She cycled through restrictive diets, supplements, and endless protocols—but...

Ever feel like no matter what you do, the weight just won’t budge? 😩 You’re eating “clean,” working out, and trying to do all the right things—but your body just isn’t responding the way it used to. Did you know your thyroid plays a massive role in metabolism, fat loss, and overall energy, and if it’s not working optimally, neither will your results. In this episode, I sit down with Kate Deering...

If you're over 40 and struggling to lose weight, it's time to stop with the HIIT classes and endless hours of cardio!  You probably know that you need to strength train but you're not sure where to start.. OR you've been training for a while but you don't look like you lift? You're putting in all the effort and just not getting results. In this episode, Craig & I break...

I’ve been trying to get Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy on the podcast since last year—and after moving countries twice (and totally butchering her name 🤣 as us Aussies do), we finally made it happen.   It was worth the wait! Dr. Connealy is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to treating cancer, hormonal imbalances, and chronic illness with a root cause approach.  She doesn’t just throw meds at symptom...

You've Lost Weight… But Why Don’t You Look the Way You Want? 🤔 And now you’re stuck eating low calories just to maintain your new weight… So many women come to us frustrated.  They've done the restrictive diet and they’ve hit their “goal weight,” but their body still doesn’t look the way they imagined and they have to eat a lot less to maintain this new body weight.  Here’s why: losing we...

A little while ago, Kelly (@TheDetoxedLife) joined our program and her results have been incredible.  🙌 She’s down 10 lbs, building strength every week, and loving how she’s balancing muscle-building and macros while managing life with two kids. When I saw Kelly’s profile, I knew I had to get her on the podcast as we have many women in our program who have kids with gut health issues and she’s a...

This week I sat down with Craig to talk about carbs and sugar—the real deal behind your energy, mood, and results.  For years, I was stuck in the "anti-carb" "anti-sugar" mindset.  I cut out sugar, avoided fruit, and thought I was doing everything right... except for the weekend binges on Ben & Jerry's and corn chips. 🤣 Sound familiar?  The problem wasn’t carbs—it was the...

Are you tired of feeling like the diet and fitness world has left you confused, stressed, and stuck in endless cycles?  This week, I sat down with Vahdaneh, the incredible mind behind @TheEdgeContent on Instagram, and we dove deep into a topic that resonates with so many of us: finding *true regeneration* through nourishment, stress reduction, and tuning into your body.   Vahdaneh shares her inspi...
