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 different way of looking at health, hormones, and fat loss… 

And everything changed.

In this new podcast episode, I sat down with my friend @katedeeringfitness author of How to Heal Your Metabolism, to talk about the REAL reason so many women feel exhausted, inflamed, and frustrated.

We covered:

→ What metabolism really is (and what it’s not)  

→ How under-nourishment, overtraining and stress cause hormonal chaos 

→ Why your symptoms (like hot flushes, fatigue, and stubborn fat) aren’t “just aging”  

→ The healing power of fruit, dairy, sugar + salt (yep, we said it)  

→ And how to fin...

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 unintentionally, stress, and a body that’s been in survival mode for decades?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the amazing Kitty Martone and we go deep on:

💥 Why just adding estrogen can actually make things worse

💥 The misunderstood role of progesterone (and how Kitty once used 800mg+ a day 😳)

💥 How stress, blood sugar crashes, and nutrient deficiencies trigger your worst symptoms

💥 And why supporting your metabolism is the real key to hormonal balance

If you’ve ever been told “just take estrogen” — or if you’re taking HRT and still feeling like shit — this one is for you.

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 thyroid was struggling, and her doctor had started talking about perimenopause. Even after discovering the pro-metabolic approach, she swung too far the other way—overeating, gaining weight, and reaching her highest body fat at 35%.

That’s when she found us. And everything changed.

We helped Isha set clear calorie and macro targets, simplified her meals with real food—like juice, fruit, sourdough, and easy-to-digest proteins—and taught her how to train for body recomposition, not just burn calories. We supported her sleep, her mindset, and her recovery so she could see results without bur...

She thought she just needed to lose 3 kilos.

✅ She was already active  

✅ Loved running  

✅ Trying to eat “healthy”  

But the fat wasn’t budging.

In fact… her body composition wasn’t where she wanted it to be.

And like many women, she thought:

❌ “Maybe this is just what my body is going to look like after 40.”  

❌ “Maybe I just need to run more and eat less.”  

❌ “The gym isn’t for me—it’s intimidating and boring.”

Here’s what actually happened when joined the program:

1️⃣ She focused on building muscle first  

When Magdalena joined us, her body fat was sitting around 35%. She didn’t look overweight, but she had very little muscle. With the right plan, she slowly built strength and confidence in the gym—despite being a total beginner.

And the best part? She fell in love with it.  

4 sessions a week. Real, measurable progress. Strong AF.

2️⃣ She started fuelling her body like it deserved  

Before, she was under-eating. Struggling to hit protein. Obsessed with the scal...

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 production and supporting thyroid function.

💪 The truth about weight gain on creatine—spoiler: it’s lean muscle, not fat!

🧠 The cognitive benefits—better focus, memory, and mental clarity.

🥩 Why diet alone isn’t enough—you’d need to eat 3kg of red meat a day to get the same benefits!

We also discuss Creatine+, Craig’s unique blend that combines Creapure® creatine monohydrate, betaine, and choline for even better hydration, energy, and performance.

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 lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, put on meds that made her feel even worse, and was told there was nothing she could do. Instead of accepting that, she walked out of her doctor’s office and started healing herself through nutrition, strength training, and a pro-metabolic approach.  

We dive deep into:  

🔥 Why so many women are afraid to eat more (and why that’s the biggest mistake keeping them stuck)  

🔥 The myth that lifting weights will make you bulky (spoiler: it’s actually your best tool for fat loss & longevity) 

🔥 Why building muscle is the missing piece for women who feel ‘skinn...

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 down to two things:

🔥 Fuelling your metabolism with the right food & macros (instead of starving yourself)

🔥 Building muscle so your body burns fat effortlessly (instead of spinning your wheels with cardio)

When you nourish your body instead of punishing it, everything changes:

💥 You lose weight without cutting carbs or fasting

💥 You balance your hormones naturally (no more crazy mood swings or bloating)

💥 You reshape your body and feel stronger than ever

💥 You finally stop obsessing over food & restriction

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 nothing worked.

She tried paleo, extreme blood sugar control, and supplement stacks that cost thousands of dollars, yet she still felt like crap. She was constantly bloated, exhausted, and battling sugar crashes so intense that even a sweet potato would wipe her out.

Her breaking point? Postpartum. After years of trying everything, she was still stuck, overweight, and overwhelmed with three kids under five. That’s when she found our program—and everything changed.

We focused on nourishing her body, supporting her metabolism and building muscle.

✅ We set her up with the right macros an...

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 to break down:

🔥 How stress, under-eating, and overtraining can slow down your thyroid (even if your labs look “normal”)

🔥 Why low-carb, keto, and fasting can wreck your metabolism (and how to reverse the damage)

🔥 The common signs of a sluggish thyroid (fatigue, cold hands/feet, bloating, weight gain)

🔥 How perimenopause and hormonal shifts impact thyroid function—and what you can do about it (the good news is with diet and lifestyle changes you can improve things)

🔥 The must-have nutrients for supporting thyroid health (so your body actually burns fat efficiently)

If you’ve been st...

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 down exactly how to build and structure an effective strength training program for weight loss in perimenopause.

We cover how many days you should train, how much volume you actually need, why intensity matters, and how to structure your workouts for the best results.
