  • 207 - Why Simple Isn't Easy (And Why You Keep Getting In Your Own Way)
    In today’s episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood truths in health and fitness: just because something is simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy. From the basics of nutrition and movement to the mental game of consistency, we unpack why people struggle with doing the boring basic things and keep abandoning their goals for the smallest inconvenience - and what to do about it.We also dive into the power of saying no, the guilt that shows up when you start prioritizing yourself, and how training for life (not just a finish line) demands a different kind of mindset. If you’ve ever said “I’ll get back on track Monday,” or felt like a goal wasn’t “serious enough” to commit to, this one’s for you.Key Takeaways:Why nutrition and fitness are simple in theory but hard in real lifeHow people sabotage their own progress by expecting perfectionThe real reason you keep saying yes when you should be saying noWhy you don’t need a race or event to train like your goals matterHow to stay consistent even when life gets messy (because it always will)Don’t forget to rate, review, and share if this hit home.Thank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

  • 206 - Your Kids Are Watching: Body Image, Motherhood & the BS We Carry With Nathalia Melo
    In this raw and revealing episode, we sit down with IFBB Bikini Olympia champion Nathalia Melo, who takes us behind the curtain of bodybuilding, body image, and motherhood. From hiding her body three months before winning the Olympia to rebuilding her relationship with food, fitness, and herself after two kids, Nathalia opens up about the very real struggles behind the "perfect" body.We talk about:How toxic behaviors get glamorized in the fitness industryThe ripple effect of body image on kids — even when we think they aren’t watchingResentment, routines, and why self-care is non-negotiableThe lies we tell ourselves (and others) about hormones, fat loss, and motivationHow Nathalia’s mindset shifted when motherhood entered the pictureIf you’ve ever felt like you’re failing because you can’t do it all - this one’s for you.Key Takeaways:Winning doesn’t fix body image. Even at her physical peak, Nathalia struggled with shame and insecurity.Behavior speaks louder than words. Kids pick up on how we treat our bodies — even when we’re not talking about it.Extremes don’t work long-term. Whether it's competing or crash dieting, unsustainable methods erode confidence over time.Resentment grows in silence. Sacrificing yourself endlessly leads to burnout — and bitterness toward the ones you love.Motherhood is a mindset shift. Fitness after kids isn't about bouncing back — it's about redefining what matters.Listen Now If You:Feel stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle with your body or dietWant to raise kids without passing on your body image baggageAre tired of the toxic positivity that tells you to “just be grateful”Need permission to put yourself first, without guiltThank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

  • 205 - The Boring Basics That Actually Work for Fat Loss
    Fat loss - when done right, it's boring! That's exactly what we're talking about this week - the boring basics from fat loss plateaus to pizza trade-offs, we break down the boring basics most people skip, and why that’s exactly where you need to focus. We talk about macros, periodizing calorie deficits, emotional eating, volume vs. satisfaction, and the importance of performance-based goals.We also dive into a powerful (and disturbing) conversation about a viral interview where an 11-year-old was prescribed Wegovy - and why this signals a dangerous generational cycle of diet culture repeating itself yet again. Expect unfiltered takes, zero fluff, and practical mindset shifts you can use now - no fancy weight loss supplements or cortisol morning routines needed.Topics Covered:Why long, aimless calorie deficits backfireThe difference between volume eating and just “eating more”The mental side of food boredom and emotional hungerWhen macros help and when they become a distractionWhy your goal shouldn't just be fat lossWhy it’s time to stop outsourcing your decisions to influencersShoutouts:Beth’s 5K a Day for Sobriety (starting Aug 1)Amy crushing it with our Patreon workoutsFit Fat Strong July Book Club: The Mountain Is YouThank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!
