#74: Losing 14kgs & beating Hashimotos with Margie & Sarah

Uncategorized Nov 26, 2021

Many women who struggle with autoimmune conditions make things worse by doing all the crazy diets as they try to lose weight and feel better. This is why I wanted to have Margie (a long-time client turned big sister in the WinAtLife program) and her niece, Sarah, on the podcast.

Both Margie and Sarah have autoimmune conditions. Margie has spondylosis arthritis, and Sarah has Hashimotos. Yet, they’ve both managed to put their autoimmune conditions into remission.

Looking at Margie, you would have no idea she is 56 years old. She has amazing skin, great hair, and looks incredible (which she attributes to all the liver, collagen, oysters, and other great food she’s been eating). Sarah is a 36-year-old, single mum, who is studying part-time, and so far, has lost 14 kgs in our program. What these two women have achieved is so amazing, so I wanted to get them on here and share their incredible stories in hopes to inspire others to do the same.

In this episode, we chat about:

#73: Misconceptions surrounding peri-menopause and menopause and what your doctor didn't tell you with Kate Deering

Uncategorized Nov 20, 2021

Our friend Kate Deering, the author of Heal Your Metabolism and just all round awesome human, is back! If you haven’t read her book How to heal your metabolism I highly recommend it.

We attract women of all ages into our Winatlife program but a large chunk of them are in their 40's and 50's and many of them suffer from perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.

Things like hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness and weight gain.

Through diet and lifestyle changes we've not only helped them improve all their symptoms but also lose weight.

They didn't have to cut sugar, carbs, dairy or do a tonne of cardio to get these results.

Kate is almost 50 years old, and I turned 40 in January this year. So, we decided to sit down and talk about what is actually happening in the body during this time, the misconceptions surrounding it, what your doctor didn't tell you and how to support the body during this time of life.

In this episode, we discus...

#72: Debunking common preconception and pregnancy myths with Loren & Brit

Uncategorized Nov 18, 2021

A few months ago I sat down with Loren and Brit creators of Conscious conception - the ultimate guide to prepping for pregnancy.

I’ve actually had a lot of messages asking me about whether I'm still trying to conceive so I I’m planning to sit down and record a solo podcast in the next few weeks with an big update. It's been a very interesting 12 months, it’s been super challenging and it's probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

So if you’ve been wondering where I'm at look out for that podcast I’ll release it in the next few weeks.

When Brit and Loren released their course I was lucky enough to be one of a handful of people to go through it before it before it was released and I was so impressed.

I often get asked questions about what to eat and how to train not only while preparing for pregnancy but also while pregnant so I thought it would be a great opportunity to get them on to discuss preparing for pregnancy and to debunk some common pregnancy...

#70: Healing pounds: Are they necessary and how much is too much? with Libby Wescombe and Craig McDonald

Uncategorized Oct 31, 2021

One thing I love about the pro-metabolic community is that I’ve made so many new friends.

Everyone is just so friendly and supportive, probably because they eat carbs and sugar 🤣

I’ve actually got this great chat group going in Whatsapp with @libbywescombe, @amykatebowe and @leilalutz.

I've had all of them on the podcast so if you haven't listened to their episodes I recommend you do.

They’re not only super knowledgeable but just awesome women.

We pretty much chat daily and I often hear Libby and Craig have little rants about the same things which makes me laugh 🤣

But in all seriousness I love how passionate and knowledgeable they are about all things training and body composition change.

One thing I hear both of them talk about quite a lot is all the women that come into their programs who have gained a lot of weight after transitioning to a pro-metabolic diet because they believe they need healing pounds.

So I thought I ‘d get them on to talk ...

#69: Plant based diets: Are they the healthy choice or just a front for disordered eating with Chlo Catherine

Uncategorized Oct 20, 2021

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, restored her metabolism and transformed her relationship with food.

Today, Chlo lives on this huge property in California with her family. They make their own jam and have their own beehives and chickens.

She’s super passionate about helping women heal their relationship with food and their bodies, restore their metabolisms, break free from restrictive diets and get their periods back.

I get a lot of questions from women about going vegan or plant based so I thought I'd get Chlo on the show to discuss the downfalls of these diets and why they really aren't that healthy.

#68: Finding fulfillment with Vic Hoskin and Nicole Wagner

Uncategorized Oct 13, 2021

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 and nutrition PLUS he was also unhappy in his job.

So after 6 months together we decided to buy into a failing gym and leave our current jobs.

Some people thought I was crazy 🤣

Things didn't work out with our business partner so we bought her out and I remember lying in bed one night thinking what the Fk have I done 🤣

In the last 8 years we’ve lost money and made many mistakes, but we came out the other side, we put the work in, and today, we have the privilege of being able to do what we’re passionate about.

I love helping other women, and I can truly say that our ...

Uncategorized Sep 28, 2021

I get lots of questions about gut health and SIBO, so I thought it’d be fun to sit down with Kourtney (who is gorgeous inside and out!) to discuss it all.

Kourtney works in the pro-metabolic community as a functional nutritional practitioner.

She helps women with health struggles (PCOS, thyroid conditions, IBS, migraines, acne, ADD, infertility, and beyond) heal through nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes.

#65: How do I lose body fat & get that 'toned' look? with Craig McDonald

Uncategorized Sep 22, 2021

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 "oh you have such a wonderful figure what do you do? running and yoga?"

I get it I used to think the same thing. I spent so many years doing HIIT, bootcamps, running for miles, classes and circuit type workouts trying to lose weight and 'tone up'.

So I thought I'd sit down with @iamcraigmcdonald and discuss exactly what you need to do to lose body fat and 'tone up' in a healthy and sustainable way, what we cover:

👉What does toned actually mean?

👉The difference between weight loss, fat loss and body recomposition

👉How do you build muscle

👉The number one reason most women a...
