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 herself properly. She weighs almost the same as when she started but looks like a completely different woman. But that is not the result that matters most.

The real result is that she stopped trying to shrink herself to feel worthy. She stopped chasing leanness as a stand in for happiness. She built strength in her body and then found the courage to rebuild her life. She left a marriage that no longer fit who she was becoming. She stayed consistent even when everything around her was falling apart. She learned how to nourish herself physically and emotionally. She softened. Opened. Let herse...

I recorded one of the most heartfelt podcast episodes I have ever done with my beautiful friend Dee.

Dee helps run @samui_street_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

The injured ones

The ones dumped, forgotten, and left behind.

She shows up every single day.

Over 200 dogs are being fed, treated, sheltered, and loved because of this small team.

This conversation made me cry, and it will make you see animal rescue in a completely different way.

She even got me to rescue three from the pier: Mali, Suri and Kia (@iamcraigmcdonald has put a limit of 3 🤣)

If you have ever loved a dog, please listen.

And if this moves you at all, please share it.

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 to early backfires

👉 Protein myths keeping women stuck

👉 Why carbs improve training and body composition

👉 Cardio and recovery lies that need to die

This is the episode that connects the dots

🔥 Between strength

🔥 Muscle

🔥 Fat loss

🔥 And long term results

If you’ve ever thought

“I train hard but I still don’t look how I want”

This one is for you.

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 volume

 • Why chasing burn and sweat keeps you stuck

 • And why “just showing up” is still beneficial but what you really need to be doing consistently to make progress 

This episode was so long we had to split it into two parts

Watch out for part 2 next week!

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, get stronger, look better, and still feel like you have failed.

Why the scale obsession often punishes the very progress you are trying to create.

But underneath all of that

Fear of not being enough.

Fear of losing control.

Fear of slowing down.

Fear of trusting the process instead of forcing outcomes.

We talk openly about clients who did everything “right”.

Lost body fat.

Gained lean mass.

Dropped inches.

Improved sleep, energy, strength, confidence.

And still felt disappointed because she didn't reach her 'goal' weight.

How many times has that been you?

I share how fe...

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 consistency changes everything.

More muscle means

You burn more calories just doing life

You tolerate more carbs

Your hormones stabilise

Fat loss stops feeling like a fight

And yet most women are still being told to eat cut carbs, do more HIIT classes, and try harder.

Last week I caught up with our good mate Mike Petersen (owner of MPT and the Rebuild Method for men)and and we recorded a super honest podcast about:

👉Why compliance beats motivation

👉Why strength training matters if you want sustainable fat loss

👉Why most people quit right before it works

👉And the identity shift that actua...

Most women think their symptoms are a hormone problem.

But so often it is a nourishment problem.

Renata came into our programme exhausted, wired, forgetting things, peeing all night and convinced that menopause had suddenly hit her like a truck.

But when we looked closer it was years of low calories, stress, constant dieting and chasing super lean that pushed her body past its threshold.

So instead of cutting more food we increased it.

Instead of adding more training we got her training smarter so she was actually building muscle just four days per week.

Instead of obsessing over the scales she learned to support her metabolism.

And the result was wild.

She now sits at 17% body fat and eats 250+ grams of carbs a day.

She sleeps through the night.

She lifts heavier than she has in years.

She feels calm, grounded and actually enjoys food again.

This is the power of eating enough to support your body rather than fighting it every day.

Of training effectively to build muscl...

Most women think they just need more motivation.

But the truth is your body can not heal in a mind that is constantly attacking itself.

This week’s episode with NuStrength Coach Jen Ismar is a powerful reminder that healing does not start with the perfect meal plan or the perfect training plan.

It starts with the stories you tell yourself.

It starts with identity.

It starts with choosing a new internal reality so your body finally feels safe enough to change.

Jen shares her journey through emotional stress, hormone chaos, digestive issues and the moment everything shifted once she began healing her mind, not just her body.

This conversation will hit home for so many women who feel stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated that they “know what to do” but still can not follow through.

If you want to understand why

you self sabotage

you struggle with consistency

you keep repeating the same patterns

and how to finally step into the woman you want to become

you will love this one.

The FDA recently asked drug companies to remove the black box warnings from estrogen therapy..

and the internet exploded.

Suddenly everyone is saying

“Estrogen will protect your brain”

“Estrogen prevents dementia”

“Estrogen saves your heart”

“Every woman should be on it”

But when you actually look at the research...

the story is very different.

In the latest episode with Kate Deering and we unpack

👉 Why observational studies make estrogen look safer than it is

👉 What randomised controlled trials show about dementia

👉 Why the heart health claims fall apart when you look at absolute risk

👉 The truth about estrogen and bone density

👉 Why symptom relief gets mistaken for disease prevention

👉 The real risks no one is talking about

👉 What actually drives hot flashes and how to fix them without jumping straight to hormones

Women deserve the full picture not fear based messaging.

If you want to understand the FDA decision and what the evidence really says, this episode wil...

A lot of women are confused about peptides and GLP-1 meds right now and for good reason.

There is hype everywhere, fear everywhere and almost no grounded, evidence based guidance from someone credible.

This episode brings clarity. 

Dr Dwayne N Jackson has a PhD in Neuromuscular Physiology and has done extensive academic research on peptides, metabolism and hormonal regulation. I spent over 2 hours chatting with him and absolutely loved this conversation. We went deep on GLP-1 meds and so much more. I have no doubt you will love him as much as I did.

He breaks things down in a way that finally makes sense for real women living real lives.

Inside the episode we talk about

• What peptides actually are

• Why so many women are wasting money on unsafe grey market products

• What BPC 157 can realistically support and what it cannot

• Why GLP meds help with appetite but do not fix metabolic damage

• The risks of using GLPs when you are already under-eating

• Why women in perimeno...
