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 ...

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.

⁣⁣Like a lot of women, she suffered from many health issues including PCOS, hypothyroidism, chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, food allergies and anxiety.

At her lowest point, she was introduced to functional lab testing, nutrition, and targeted supplementation and hasn't looked back.

In this episode we talk about the connection between and unsupported metabolism and SIBO / Gut health, specifically we discuss:

➡️What is SIBO

➡️How chronic stress impacts the gut

➡️Tr...

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...

For 17 years of my life when it came to food I always thought that less was better and when it came to training I always thought that more was better 🤣 and if you've followed me for a while you'll know that it set me up with irregular and painful cycles, poor sleep, digestive issues, my hair was falling out and was obsessed with how I looked, what I weighed plus I was a chronic binge eater.

Thank goodness I found @thenutritioncoach and Ray's work and @iamcraigmcdonald taught me how to strength train.

As I started implementing what I learnt from Emma and Craig I finally got in tune with my body. I learnt how to trust it and liste...

So, I thought it’d be really interesting to sit down and chat about his experience with these crazy diets and how that impacted his training and life, as well as how pro-metabolic eating has changed his life.

In this episode, we talk about:

➡️Changes in his energy levels and mood during his extreme dieting days and how it affected his training

➡️What medications he was prescribed during this time for thyroid issues and more

➡️How going pro-metabolic improved his training and performance

➡️Tips on how to transition from paleo to pro-metabolic eating

➡️What are the things you can ...

In this episode we cover:

👉 What does a healthy women with a healthy metabolism look like?

👉 Should I train fasted?

👉 How can I tell if I am recovering from my training?

👉 How should I train if I want to lose weight/body fat? Should I be prioritising strength training or cardio?

👉 Why strength training is beneficial for women and how do you actually build muscle?

👉 What are the different types of cardio and when are they appropriate?

👉 Is being fit with a low resting pulse a sign of good health?

👉 If I have low thyroid, PCOS, low temps and pulses, hormonal imbalances, poor sleep, I'm super stressed, I have Hashimoto's or any other autoimmune condition how should I be training?

👉 What if I have exerci...

If you've followed me for a while you'll know I've cycled through nearly every diet out there. For 17 years of my life I tried to cut all sugar from my diet including fruit and juice. I get so many comments on my posts saying “sugar causes diabetes” and “sugar causes insulin resistance.”

So I thought I'd sit down with Georgi and address some of these misconceptions.

In this episode, we discuss:

➡️What is insulin resistance

➡️What actually causes insulin resistance and diabetes (hint it's not sugar)

➡️The role chronic stress has in diabetes and insulin resistance

➡️What happens when you go low calorie and/or low carb

➡️What dietary changes can a diabetic or someone who su...

"I’m not good enough"

“I’m not smart enough”

"I can't do this"

"I’ll fail"

“I’m fat"

“I hate my body”

I've definitely had times where I've doubted myself, times when the negative voices have crept in and taken over my thoughts.

These silent conversations are so powerful. They affect our mood, how we feel about ourselves, they can stop us from taking action and they can affect our health.

One of my favourite books on how to harness these inner voices is called Chatter, written by acclaimed psychologist Ethan Cross. I loved it so much I thought I'd get him on the show to talk more about these inner voices and share some of the tools you can use to harness them so you can be happier, healthier and more productive.

More specifically we discussed:

➡️What is “Chatter”?

➡️Managing “Chatter”

➡️Rituals to manage those voices

➡️Success...

I wanted to interview Rebecca because so many women think that when it comes to losing weight and getting healthy they need to drastically cut calories, sugar, dairy and carbs and do a tonne of cardio, especially if they have PCOS or endometriosis. In this episode Rebecca shares:

➡️The shame she felt and a lot of women might also feel around binge eating

➡️How empowering strength training is and the role it played in her journey

➡️The improvements she's seen in her menstrual cycle
