#41: What it takes to transform your body in a healthy and sustainable way with Amy Bowe & Craig McDonald

Uncategorized Mar 24, 2021

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 an amazing physique, and is an awesome person. Today, she also helps women get stronger, fuel their metabolism, and break-free from restrictive diets (similar to what we do!).

We all decided this was a good opportunity to sit down and talk about women’s expectations, what they want to achieve versus what it actually takes, and roadblocks that come up, as well as how you can try to close those gaps.

We chat about:

➡️Diet culture

➡️ The type of training that will support your metabolism and build muscle and why this is important when it comes to a healthy and sus...

#40: Cancel culture with Kate Deering

Uncategorized Mar 20, 2021

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 comes down to it, we are all just doing our best with the information we currently have. Kate and I dive deeper into this whole topic:

We talk about:

➡️ Realising that there isn’t ONE truth out there and that there are many different perspectives

➡️ A lot of different avenues can make you a healthier human being so blocking one perspective from your circle may not be the best idea

➡️ Different mindsets, such as being tired, hungry, or even drunk, can play a role in people’s reactions

➡️ You don’t have to respect another’s opinion but you have to allow people to ha...

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.

#38: Disordered eating with Meg Langston

Uncategorized Mar 04, 2021

I just love Meg Langston! I have such a girl crush on her. She has amazing energy, and is so open, authentic, and kind. If you don’t already follow her on Instagram, go follow her!! She shares so much great info within the pro-metabolic community.

Meg is a Nutritional Therapist. She works with women to improve their health via nutrition. Meg and I both come from similar disordered eating backgrounds. We’ve both tried all the restrictive diets, attempting to control our weight and also thinking we were doing things right. Oh, how far we’ve come!!

#37: How emotions and trauma manifest as pain in the body with Jim Bostock

Uncategorized Feb 28, 2021

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 amazing and has such a special gift. If you have pain, get on his website and get to Brisbane and see him!! We’ve had people with 10 years of neck pain that Jim has helped in just a few visits. It’s just incredible.

So, I thought it was only fitting to sit down and have a chat with Jim about pain and how it manifests within the body. We talk about:

➡️ How stress, emotions and trauma can manifest as pain in the body

➡️ How pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong

➡️ Pain is a good indicator of how your subconscious body is doing

➡️ Ho...

#36: The number one reason you're not seeing results in the gym with Craig McDonald

Uncategorized Feb 24, 2021

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 I decided to sit down with Craig and talk about the training methodology he used to transform my body and 1000's of other women's bodies in the Winatlife Program.

Craig is known as ‘the sausage’ amongst the women in our program, a nickname he picked up after I called him sausage on a live one night 😂 I’m ‘the fog horn’ - the more vocal of us two. But Craig is the other half of our company and he really is the one that saved me from myself and hours of cardio I was doing.

One of the first dates we had was in the gym. I remember he asked me to show him a deadlift and he ended u...

#35: The uncomfortable journey of healing, gaining 30kgs and putting weight loss last with Leila Lutz

Uncategorized Feb 16, 2021

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 last. She talks about her struggles as someone who has always been fit and energetic to struggling to work, mother and live.

She talks about her struggle with Hashimoto's and the confronting journey of what it’s like to be overweight as a health and fitness professional and accepting that 30kgs of weight gain is part of the healing journey and healing her metabolism. She also talks about doing the inner work and how it's one of the key foundations to loving your body.

Leila has a story that I'm sure so many women can relate to.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as m...

#32: Finding your confidence in the bedroom with Melissa Collins

Uncategorized Jan 08, 2021

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 skin, and I think a lot of women can learn from her. Sex is such an important part of a healthy relationship and feeling connected with your partner.

Often when women join our programs they don't have a sex drive which has caused issues in their relationship. Once they improve their metabolism their sex drive comes back, but often they still feel disconnected from their partner and are not sure how to reignite that fire again.

So, if this is something that’s been concerning you and your relationship, I definitely recommend listening to this one! We talk about:
