When she was in her teens, She used to read her Dad’s Muscle & Fitness magazines and attempt to lift weights and work out in their unfinished basement with a weight bench and some dumbbells. Her mom would take her to Jazzercise classes with her. She struggled with her weight, but it was during those early years that she caught the fitness bug.Before she was a fitness competitor, she played field hockey all through high school and college. While in college, she became a certified aerobics instructor (back when they called it “aerobics” and leotards and leg warmers were all the rage). She also received her personal trainer certification. She taught everything from step aerobics to kickboxing (who remembers Billy Blanks’ Tae Bo style?). Then she started running…she ran 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, some sprint triathlons, two marathons (NYC and Philly), a Warrior Dash and a Tough Mudder.But she wanted more. In the late 90’s she discovered fitness competitions (think bodybuilding meets beauty pageant), which involved a fitness routine and posing routine. She took gymnastics lessons as a 25-year-old with a class full of 9-year-old's. It was not her cup of tea. Fast forward to 2012 when she discovered a trainer who was also an IFBB figure pro who was willing to prep her for her first figure competition.

In this episode, Tina speaks with Natalie Newhart, Mindset Coach & Former Pro CrossFit Athlete and BodyBuilder, about why so many women over 35 struggle with losing weight. Natalie shares how a lack of self-love is the root of all weight, food, and health issues, how humanity has been intensely conditioned to not love ourselves and shares a methodical training of self-love.Natalie discusses: - Getting to the point of absolute pain.- What happens when we drain our energy.- The importance of feeling good now.- How to choose to feel good now.- The importance of having a mindset plan.- The vision of a fit body.- What is conscious fitness? - And moreConnect with Tina Haupert:https://carrotsncake.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/carrotsncake/About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N’ Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

Doctors told her she needed to find a way to not stress if she wanted to gain her health and wellbeing back.The traditional stress-management approach of walk more, meditate, and take naps failed to create any change, and didn’t serve her body goals either.It wasn’t until she started to do the internal work on herself did she start to see the changes she was looking for.For the last 6 years, she’s dedicated herself to mastering her body and mind. She’s trained with some of the world’s best psychologists, neurologists, female fat loss physicians, and even Shaolin monks!She’s spent the last 15 years helping thousands of women bring an end to their obsessive dieting mindset, compulsive eating behaviors, and neurotic exercise habits by addressing the deep psychological relationship with food and fitness.Unlike most fitness professionals, she understands that perpetual dieting and forced exercise is a personal issue that goes FAR beyond food, weight, and body goals.Natalie’s coaching takes an untraditional approach to regaining control with food, rediscovering a love for movement and retraining the way we think about weight loss.Natalie’s coaching is for those women who are done with being entertained by traditional diet strategies and is serious about making a REAL change - from the inside out. They don’t just want another short term fix- they want to MASTER their relationship with food and exercise.
In this episode, I dive into a topic that affects many women: perimenopause and weight gain.Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading to menopause, can bring about various changes in a woman's body, including shifts in weight. Here are four ways perimenopause can contribute to weight gain:Hormonal fluctuations: During perimenopause, hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, can fluctuate significantly. These hormonal changes can impact metabolism and lead to weight gain, especially around the abdomen.Slowing metabolism: As women age, their metabolism tends to slow down naturally. However, during perimenopause, this slowdown can become more pronounced. A slower metabolism means the body burns fewer calories, making it easier to gain weight.Muscle loss: Perimenopause can also result in muscle loss or a decrease in muscle mass. Since muscles are metabolically active tissues, having less muscle can further contribute to a slower metabolism and increased weight gain.Insulin resistance: Some women may experience insulin resistance during perimenopause. Insulin is a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. When the body becomes resistant to insulin, it can lead to weight gain, particularly around the midsection.While weight gain during perimenopause is common, it's important to remember that it's not inevitable. By understanding these factors, you can take proactive steps to manage your weight and maintain overall health.If you're navigating perimenopause and struggling with weight gain, we invite you to apply for our 1:1 coaching and functional testing program via this link: https://forms.gle/JT74yhBgxQZRQvgZARemember, you're not alone, and there is always hope for achieving optimal health and balance.

Why skipping breakfast is preventing you from gaining muscle...You are always burning some level of carbs, fat, and protein throughout the day. Ideally, though, you want to utilize primarily carbohydrates because it’s going to help preserve your muscle mass. When your body doesn’t have enough carbohydrates and it’s out of glycogen stores (glucose/sugar is your body’s main/favorite source of energy), it will break down muscle as fuel. (Your body can’t regulate blood sugar with fat; it needs sugar.)In order to produce carbohydrates (or glucose), amino acids that are stored in muscle are broken down through a process called ‘gluconeogenesis.’ Your body literally breaks down muscle to create fuel! I actually see this all the time with women who are under-eating or following a low-carb diet.Their body is basically learning to break down muscle in order to help regulate their blood sugar because they’re not fueling their bodies properly. These are the women who, even if they’re weight training, don’t ever make any gains. It’s a circular process where they build a little muscle, break it down, build a little more, break it down, etc. Sometimes, you even see them get flabbier as they train because they just keep putting more and more stress upon their system because their body has to constantly utilize its own resources to try to regulate itself. Oof. Simply consuming enough carbohydrates can help you build and maintain muscle!And, of course, you need muscle to help support a higher metabolic rate. If you want to burn more calories and have a better metabolism, you need lots of muscle! I also noticed that I can lift heavier and perform better at the gym when I consume enough carbs and calories overall.HOW TO TRY FASTING WHILE SUPPORTING YOUR HORMONES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCkqb7z_YzU&t=345sINTERMITTENT FASTING CHEAT SHEET: https://carrots-n-cake.mykajabi.com/intermittent-fasting-hormonal-health-cheat-sheetMY FITNESS PROGRAMS:https://programs.carrotsncake.com/fitnessDISCLAIMER: The content contained herein is provided for informational and/or entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, I share some solutions for how to exercise with adrenal fatigue. Perfect world: You would only walk for fitness, but I get it... cutting back is HARD, so I share how I was able to find balance with exercise and healing. Listen to my story here in EP122: The overtraining episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep122-the-overtraining-episode/id1539296304?i=1000556196408Weekly exercise routine for adrenal fatigue:▪️3 full-body strength workouts (30 minutes) on non-consecutive days▪️2 walks (20-30 minutes, intervals: 30 seconds brisk pace, 2 minutes easy pace)▪️2 rest days (might include easy walking or yoga)Why this approach works:The strength training component is foundational and will help you increase lean muscle mass, which also aids in blood sugar stability because your muscles use glucose for fuel. The ‘cardio’ component is long enough to help you burn fat, but without causing the adrenals to become overstimulated. When you’re recovering from adrenal fatigue, anything longer than 20-30 minutes can be stressful and cause cortisol levels to rise, so be sure to hold yourself accountable to this limit even if you’re used to pushing yourself longer and harder. Timing: Since women with adrenal fatigue tend to have irregular cortisol spikes, like right before bed or, worse, in the middle of the night, morning workouts can help regulate your daily cortisol pattern. Cortisol is supposed to be its highest first thing in the morning, so you want to work with that! In fact, waking up with energy and motivation to exercise will be a sign that your adrenals are on their way to healing!One final thought: Exercise should make you feel ENERGIZED, not drained. If you feel exhausted after your workouts or unmotivated to do them all together, your exercise routine is probably not ‘working’ for you.

This episode is all about how I made peace with overtraining and the steps I took to overcome the 'need' to exercise. I also share some common overtraining symptoms and answer some FAQs from Instagram.
Overtraining is definitely a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I fell into the overtraining trap for MANY years and ignored the symptoms until my health (and body composition) really started to suffer. I was literally forced to cut back on exercise and make changes, and I don't want other women to experience the same struggles, which is why I am so passionate about sharing this information now.
Nowadays, my workouts are short and sweet and done with moderate intensity. I feel a whole lot better and my body composition has improved dramatically! I've built muscle and lost fat by doing LESS!
There is life after overtraining. When you commit to dropping the 'more is better' mantra and adopting balance, you will not only feel better, but with the right exercise regimen, will look better too.
Get results in just 20 minutes, 4 days per week!
My new fitness program, SweatMadeSimple, is an intermediate-to-advanced dumbbell program, composed of workouts that are 20 minutes or less, designed to increase strength, definition, and lean lines. I designed this program for women, who think they might be overtraining and for busy women, who want to look like they actually work out, but don’t have a ton of time to exercise!
Out of every program I’ve ever created, SweatMadeSimple is the closest thing to how I personally train most of the time, and I seriously cannot wait for you to get your hands on it!!

Theodora recently completed her masters in clinical psychology and plans to purse a career as a therapist.

I used to get so angry and frustrated when people told me that I needed to 'manage my stress.' Like, what did that mean exactly? How the heck could I manage stress when I had so much on my plate? It all seemed super overwhelming, and I honestly didn't see a way out of the stress-filled life that I was currently living.
It wasn't until my health got so, so, so bad that I was literally forced to make changes. It was such a low point in my life, I don't want anyone to experience a similar health scare, so I decided to share some of the things I actually did to get a better handle of the stress in my life.
I share more than 20 different ideas (some big, some small) as well as plenty of mindset and behaviors shifts that eventually made the difference.
As I always say... it's never one thing, so hopefully this episode gives you some ideas for working towards a better balance with the stress in your life. And remember to give yourself time, patience, and grace with the process. It doesn't happen overnight, but it WILL happen. Hang in there!

Have you been experiencing any of the following…
- Dizziness
- Weight gain
- Low blood pressure
- Allergies
- Poor recovery from workouts
- Salt cravings
- Depression or anxiety
- Exercise intolerance
- Sleep issues
- Poor memory or brain fog
- Low energy/fatigue
- Low libido
- Pain and inflammation
-
Frequent illness If so, you could be suffering from Low Cortisol. Cortisol is a naturally-occurring steroid hormone that helps regulate body processes such as your metabolism and your immune response. Having a proper cortisol level is essential for weight and stress management and for your overall good health. When your brain is not telling your adrenals (technically, your brain and HPA-Axis) to produce enough cortisol to support your body systems, you start to experience some of these symptoms. Here are some possible reasons you may be have Low Cortisol levels:
-
Chronic stress
- Excessive exercise and endurance training
- Low-fat or low-carb diets, under-eating in general
- Head trauma
- Cortisol suppressing meds like corticosteroids, antidepressants, or opiates
-
Addison’s disease Some of the best ways to manage Low Cortisol is to avoid habits and activities that cause the problem in the first place. Avoid the following:
-
Over-exercising
- Low-carb/Low-fat diets
- Skipping meals or Intermittent Fasting
-
Inflammatory foods, alcohol, and caffeine What to do:
-
Sleep and rest
- Eat enough
- Reduce high-intensity exercise
- Replenish lost minerals, specifically vitamin C sodium, potassium, magnesium
Unsure if you have Low Cortisol and want to learn more?

One of the biggest mistakes I see when women are trying to lose weight is hopping from diet to diet to diet. They cut their calories super low and stop seeing progress... because depriving your body of calories is veryyyy stressful on the body.
You need to earn the right to diet.
In fact, most of your life should be spent in maintenance and a cut should only happen about once or twice per year.
But when it's time to cut and your body (and overall health) is ready to cut, here are some factors to consider for your cut length:
8-WEEK CUT:
You have trouble with consistency You hate restriction You have a deadline/event/vacation coming up You don’t like tracking your food You don’t like cardio You tend to be ‘all or nothing’ with your approach and mindset You don’t mind changing your life temporarily to get results Your life isn’t crazy-busy You don’t have much weight to lose You just finished a bulk phase You spent a decent amount of time in maintenance You tend to be someone who quits and loses motivation
16-WEEK CUT:
You don’t want a diet to interfere with your life too much You don’t want a cut to affect your social life (i.e. upcoming girls’ weekend, your birthday) You enjoy tracking your food, meal prep, etc. You like the accountability and structure of tracking your food, having a plan, etc. You want to be able to make tweaks to your cut Your calories are high and you have plenty of room to cut You don’t like to be hungry/you don’t like restriction Your life is fairly busy and you know you can’t give 100% effort all the time You want the cut to be easy You have a significant amount of weight to lose You understand that the slower you lose, the easier it is to maintain

Can you relate to eating 1,200 – 1,400 calories and NOT seeing results?
If so, please know that you are not alone. We see it often with the women who come to us for nutrition coaching.
Eating below your energy needs is so common among women (thanks, diet culture) and oftentimes it prevents them from getting the results they want. In fact, chronically under-eating can lead to hormone imbalance, metabolism issues, and thyroid problems, all of which can actually cause weight gain.
When Renee came to me, she was under-eating and struggling to change her body composition. She was also dealing with thyroid issues and awful periods.
“I remember I was eating 1,200 calories…1,200 to 1,400 calories was my jam, and I thought I was doing everything right, but my hormones were jacked up.”
Changing your physique, metabolism, and overall health takes time, and Renee was patient with the process.
We worked together for an entire year, but as you'll hear in this episode, directly from Renee, it was worth it and even 'life-changing' with regard to how she now approaches her health and physique goals.
Responsibly changing your body composition takes time and patience, and the biggest mistake I see women make when trying to lose weight is embarking on diet after diet, which stresses out the body, lowers your metabolism, and leads to frustration.
Instead of working against your metabolism and doing further damage to your health (or, worse, gaining more weight), working with a coach (like me!) and committing to the process can finally get you the sustainable results you want once and for all!

Welcome to another episode of the Carrots ‘N’ Cake Podcast. A common conundrum we hear when working with clients is the challenge of how to deal with sugar cravings. Sugar cravings are super common and something most of us have experienced. Want to understand the why and learn what you can do to conquer them, listen in!
First, I revisit my personal story in dealing with my sweet tooth. I share: - I was eating little real food and in between meals, I ate cookies, muffins, & chocolate. - 80% of my diet was sugar and carbs with only 20% being healthy, real food. - I was in a counting calories mindset vs quality of food approach. - I felt out of control around food. I couldn’t stop eating plates of cookies and whole batches of muffins. - I woke up craving sugar and even binged on it. - I was training for a marathon and not properly fueling myself.
Next up, I dive into why sugar is addictive. The highlights include: - When we consume sugar, we get a natural elevation in our neurotransmitters, aka it makes us feel. - It triggers dopamine, which is the reward center of our brain. - It also impacts serotonin, which makes us feel good.
But this boost in all those feel good hormones is short-lived. It quickly dissipates and leaves us with less than desirable consequences, such as: - Excess sugar can cause inflammation in the body. - It is a stressor on the body.
There are general 3 common themes that I see with clients when it comes to sugar cravings: - Eating the wrong foods/not a great macro balance: Not enough protein and fiber, tons of carbs. Blood sugar rollercoaster. Highs and lows, hypoglycemia reaction. - HPA-axis dysfunction aka adrenal fatigue: We are burned out, stressed, doing too much, exhausted, tired and wired, fueled by a sugar (and caffeine addiction), makes us crave more. - Emotional component of sugar: Eating for comfort & to relieve stress.
You’ve probably heard the usual tactics suggested to combat sugar cravings: - Drink more water - Brush your teeth - Get tempting foods out of the house
The goal? To create awareness around what’s going on.
The strategies I share to eliminate sugar cravings include: - Developing mindfulness around what is going on in life. - Eat enough quality food! - Sleep! So important for regulating cravings. - Reduce stress wherever possible. - Stay hydrated!
I hope you enjoy this episode and find these tips and tricks helpful to stop feeling like a slave to your sugar cravings. Need more? Download this awesome 7-Day Sugar-Free Meal Plan: https://carrotsncake.ck.page/040a0c9502

Welcome back to another episode of the Carrots 'N' Cake podcast. I am so excited to share today's episode which is all about my favorite topic, hormones! I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Greg Brannon, who shared a wealth of knowledge that I know you'll love.
Dr. Greg Brannon founded Optimal Bio in 2012 and now acts as the medical director for Optimal Bio in North Carolina and works as an OB/GYN. During his 30-year career as an OB/GYN in the Raleigh area, Dr. Brannon became interested in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy methods around 2006. Upon seeing the success that many of his friends had experienced with BHRT, he performed his own research, concluded that it was viable and effective, and started the therapy on himself.
He was inspired by the improvements he saw in himself, and thus Optimal Bio was born. Since officially launching in 2012, the team at Optimal Bio has treated thousands of patients, both men and women, ages 18 to 86 and the results have been astounding. Dr. Brannon personally attends to patients in each of his four locations to provide the best possible care. He has been featured on many podcasts and is the author of The Hormone Handbook and loves to share the ways hormonal balance can improve people's lives and wellbeing.
We cover an array of topics, including: - How exercise can help with hormone levels. - Which foods can affect hormone levels. - What in our everyday lives and environment affects hormone levels. - How age affects our hormone levels, are they safe, side effects
You can find even more in Dr. Brannon's Book, Back to the Basics: Life Revitalization Through Bio-identical Hormones: https://rstyle.me/+dUF0b4JzddsYWVnKX6v6JA Save 5% on Berkey Water Filter: https://www.berkeyfilters.com/?a_aid=5ab92decb4f05&a_bid=2c56f797

Welcome back to another new episode of the Carrots 'N' Cake Podcast! In this week's episode, I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with fellow entrepreneur, Amanda Gilman, on all things business.
Amanda Gilman is the founder of AMG Snacks, which she launched in 2019. After spending years making her own snacks, she was inspired to share these delicious eats with others. Over the years, she created her own flavors through recipe experimentation and sharing with family and friends.
Prior to AMG Snacks, Amanda was a Managing Director in the Balance Sheet Analysis and Strategy group at a NY-based investment bank, where she worked with financial institutions in the areas of balance sheet management. Between long days at the office and traveling to clients, Amanda needed easily accessible, on-the-go snacks. Most “healthy” snack options turned out to have processed ingredients or a texture that was too tough for her “TMJ” syndrome (a jaw disorder that causes pain or discomfort when irritated). When she could not find exactly what she was looking for she turned to her studio apartment kitchen in New York City and made her own snacks.
Amanda’s energy bite snacks are made with a short list of high quality, all-natural ingredients. These bitesize snacks are packed with essential nutrients needed to fuel our bodies: healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Amanda became excited about the potential idea of creating a business around an organic idea. She started researching one item a day to figure out what it would take to start a business. After 6 months of research, Amanda took the leap to pursue AMG Snacks full time and launched the business in December of 2019 through online sales and began to hit the ground to get into retail locations.
Amanda and I dive into: - How she got her business off the ground. Aka it seems like a lot to take on as one person (sales, production, marketing, accounting, operations, logistics)? - How she managed as the business grew? - How did the pandemic impacted her business and plan? - What's her favorite thing about being an entrepreneur? - What does the process look like to get into retail locations? - What advice would she give to someone who is sitting at a job they don't like with an idea they want to pursue?
You can find Amanda (and her amazing snacks!) on IG @amgsnacks or www.amgsnacks.com.

In this episode I dive into the 5 things I wish I knew sooner about hormones. Newsflash! Hormonal imbalance isn’t the problem. It’s the result of an underlying issue. And you’ve got to find that underlying issue to repair the imbalance properly. Hormonal imbalance is NOT normal. Not at 20, not at 30, not even at 40 or 50. It’s not a ‘getting older’ thing. Don’t let your doctor tell you otherwise. The Pill is not the solution. Sure, there are supplements you can take to improve your hormonal balance, but the Pill is NOT the end all be all solution. I might 'regulate' your symptoms for a period of time, but you're also shutting off your natural hormones, which can lead to more issues in the future. What you eat (or don’t eat) matters. A diet high in processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, sugar and low in the micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals found in fresh fruit and veggies can throw your body out of whack and cause your hormones to go wonky. Managing stress is KEY. Once stress is managed all these great things can happen: better blood sugar balance, loss of body fat and stubborn belly fat, reduced cellulite, better muscle mass, reduced cravings, and better sleep. If 19 year old me had known all these things, I can’t even imagine how differently things would have gone. However, now that I know better, I do better, and I teach my clients to do the same. Think you’re struggling with a hormonal imbalance? My team can help you get to the root cause and help create a solution to improve your situation. Our in-depth hormone testing and includes specific strategies personalized for your needs and geared to get you the best results possible.

EP102: Excess estrogen might be preventing you from losing weight
Are you struggling with excess estrogen?
‘Estrogen Dominance’ is a type of hormonal imbalance where the body has too much estrogen in relation to progesterone.
Here are some symptoms of Estrogen Dominance:
Irregular periods Heavy periods Cramping Weight gain, especially in mid-section, hips, and thighs Insomnia Sore, painful breasts Acne Depression, irritability, anxiety, fatigue Thyroid issues Low libido (low sex drive) Fibroids or endometriosis
Does this sound like you? If so, you are not alone. In fact, Estrogen Dominance is one of the most common issues I see with the women we work with. It's also a main reason for fat loss resistance.
In this episode, I share how and why estrogen can become out of balance and what exactly to do about it. I make specific recommendations related to nutrition and what to eat, lifestyle habits, and possible supplementation. (Be sure to talk with your doctor first before implementing any of these suggestions.) PS, you can get the Hormonal Health Meal Plan FREE here: https://carrotsncake.ck.page/c3539295e9
A Dutch Test is a great way to test for Estrogen Dominance (and other hormonal imbalances) and our team of coaches can help you create a personalized protocol. Once we receive your results, we then begin a ‘food as medicine’ style protocol to help you rebalance your hormones in the easiest, most natural way possible.
Inside our 1:1 coaching program, not only will you learn exactly what ‘shape’ your hormones are in using our comprehensive testing, but you’ll also gain useful insight and guidance around your food and exercise choices under the direct guidance of a highly skilled coach.
You don’t have to struggle to feel your best.
Let our team of coaches help!

In this episode, I share how I was able to transition my online presence from a healthy living blogger to functional nutrition (FDN-P) entrepreneur. It definitely wasn't easy, and I struggled for years before hiring a business coach. At times, I felt defeated, frustrated, and confused. I was constantly second-guessing what I was doing and not getting the results that I wanted.
Accountability and clarity from my coach and mastermind community were the key factors in helping me transition Carrots 'N' Cake to what it is today. I couldn't have done it without a coach and supportive community.
Clearly, I do well with external accountability… having a deadline from my business coach, being accountable to the women in my mastermind…
I still have to show up and do the work, yes, but it’s much easier for me to NOT give up when I know I have someone checking in with me.
For me it’s not necessarily about the education or resources; it’s more about the accountability, support, guidance, and clarity that my coaches provide.
There is SO much nutrition and fitness information out there. To the point where it’s easy to get paralyzed and not do ANYTHING, which makes things even more challenging when “life happens”.
Having a support system in place is key to pulling many of us back on track, especially when you have a case of the “fuck its.”
Belonging to a group with similar goals is a great strategy to help you stick with your healthy living goals. Your environment and the people who you surround yourself with matter a LOT.
Right now, enrollment is open for the Carrot 'N' Cake Lifestyle Membership.
The Carrots ‘N’ Cake Lifestyle Membership is ideal for you if you know what to do but you would like to have a plan and expert-level support for when your motivation wanes and it feels all too tempting to give up on your goals.
Enroll now and get TWO (!!!) of my signature programs completely FREE!!! Choose from:

Cassy Joy Garcia, a New York Times bestselling author of Cook Once Dinner Fix, Cook Once Eat All Week, and Fed and Fit as well as the creative force behind the popular food blog Fed + Fit. Eager to share her healthy living secrets with the world, she started Fed + Fit in 2011. Since then, she became a holistic nutrition consultant and transitioned her personal blog into a tremendously supportive and nimble online wellness editorial, backed by a small but mighty team of writers, researchers, and editors. After realizing that her own struggles to get a healthy homemade dinner on the table overlapped with the same struggles experienced by her readers, she decided that there must be a better way. The Cook Once method was born and it has revolutionized how people cook. She lives in San Antonio, TX with her husband and two children.
Cassy and I cover a wide range of topics, including lots of questions from you! We kicked off our conversation by chatting about Cassy’s latest cookbook, Cook Once Dinner Fix. Cassy shares her inspiration for writing it, all things meal prep, what to do with leftovers, working with special dietary needs, and much more!
Next up, we dived into a bit more of a personal discussion on family, business, and trying to “do it all”. Cassy is such a joy to speak with and I hope you love our conversation.
You can connect with Cassy @fedandfit on IG or at fedandfit.com. Don’t forget to grab Cassy’s wonderful cookbooks, links below.

I’ve received a number of questions about the parasite protocol that I’m currently implementing, so I wanted to share some Cliff’s Notes about it. I’m still learning about parasites and figuring it all out, but this episode covers my personal experience as well as possible symptoms related to parasites and how to determine if a protocol is right for you.
I’m following the CellCore protocol and using their products. It starts with a Foundational Protocol to open up detox pathways and then moves onto supporting gut and immune function as well as systemic detox using binders and other products to address lingering toxins. I’m currently in Phase 3, which is building momentum for a deeper detox in the future. Again, I’m not an expert in parasite protocols, but I hope this information helps anyone dealing with chronic illness to continue their journey to better health.

One of the biggest mistakes I see when women try to lose weight is not eating enough. They often eat below their Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which is why they continue to struggle.
So, how do you figure out how much to consume? Well, it comes down to self-experimentation, which, of course, sounds vague, so in this episode, I share the exact process that we use with our clients to help them nail down their ideal macro ratio. I also highlight a number of data points to measure progress outside of the scale to help you understand if your macros are 'working' or not.
Need some additional guidance or want to take your nutrition to the next level? I have 3 MORE resources for you!

Are you managing stress well? Are you sleeping 8+ hours per night? Are you eating a balance of protein, carbs, fat, and fiber at every meal? Are you doing too much cardio? Do you have nutrient deficiencies from the Pill and/or pregnancy? Do you have hormonal imbalance?

Consistency is BY FAR the most important aspect of getting and maintaining your results. It's often overlooked when it comes to body composition change, but it's what REALLY matters. Let's just say, without consistency, you’re not getting sustainable and long-lasting results!
The goal is to create consistency with the least amount of resistance. Tune in to learn HOW exactly you can make this happen!

Do you love your hormones? If not, you should. And here’s why… Because your body is just as fine-tuned (if not more!) than your car... And if you want your car to work right, you service it and take care of it... Same goes for your hormones. If you want your hormones to be balanced, happy, and healthy, you’ve got to treat them well. You’ve got to love on them a little bit. In this episode, I chat about 6 ways to love your hormones and how to actually implement new changes into your lifestyle and habits. Loving your hormones, the way you love your partner, child(ren), parents, friends, etc., is important. No relationship can bloom without care. As cheesy as it might sound, same goes for the relationship with your hormones. Most women do NOT focus on this essential relationship and end up running their hormones into the ground. It isn’t until they’ve hit rock-bottom that they finally start doing something about it - myself included! Incorporate these things into your daily practices and show your hormones a little love before they start feeling neglected and begin acting out.

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.”
In this episode, I chat about why you need to have a “diet” plan and why having clarity in what you are doing is so important for adherence and actually getting results. By not planning and not knowing how to make adjustments, you are likely hindering (maybe even preventing) progress.

Do you suspect that your hormones are preventing you from losing weight? If so, you might be onto something... Your hormones play quite a big role in weight loss (or lack thereof)! In this episode, I discuss 4 major hormonal issues that I see again and again with my female clients: 🔹High Cortisol - Often caused by stress and correlates with blood sugar dysregulation. High cortisol can resolve by reducing stress and prioritizing macro-friendly (balanced) meals. Managing stress is easier said that done: Delegate, say no, ask for help, plan for self-care activities you enjoy. 🔹Estrogen Dominance – Once again, a result of high stress as well as wonky liver and gut function. Excess caffeine, alcohol, sugar, exposure to toxins and processed foods also don't help. Getting enough sleep as well as eating cruciferous veggies and proper supplementation can help balance you out. 🔹Low Thyroid – Frequently overlooked by most General Practitioners as it is not typically checked unless they run a full panel. Your thyroid health is key to a well-functioning metabolism and fat loss. Ask your doctor for a full panel and if they won’t do it, contact me! 🔹Insulin Resistance – Caused by poor diet, hormonal imbalances, lack of exercise, and high stress. I often see insulin resistance go hand-in-hand with stubborn belly fat. Get proper hormonal testing and balance your nutrition with protein, fat, and low glycemic carbs. Intermittent Fasting may help in certain situations as well. Inside the Master Your Metabolism Mentorship, you'll learn how your symptoms can help you identify potential hormonal imbalance and what to do about it. You'll also learn how your nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle choices can boost (or hinder) your results. The goal is to work WITH your hormones, not against them! Doors are now open through Sunday, 9/26, but space is limited. This is an exclusive, small group mentorship for women looking to begin a massive transformation of their nutrition, training, and physique!!

In this episode, I chat about how to optimize your nutrition to best fuel your workouts in the different phases of your cycle.
As a woman, your body goes through significant changes each and every month. Those changes can influence many things including how well you metabolize food, how well you sleep, how much patience you have with your kids, and how effective your exercise routine is. In fact, because the changes are so significant, I often recommend that my 1:1 clients not only track their cycle, but also alter their nutrition and exercise routine based on the phase of cycle they’re currently on. During the follicular phase, which begins on the first day of menstruation and ends with ovulation, your estrogen levels are higher which means you have a higher carb tolerance. Now is the perfect time to up your carbs a bit and balance yourself out with HIIT, running, and strength training workouts. During the luteal phase, which begins during ovulation and ends on the first day of your period, it’s important that you support your progesterone balance. During this time, your carb tolerance is lower so monitoring your carb intake and keeping your exercise moderate with yoga, barre, and walking is key. By monitoring your cycle and its phases, then eating and exercising according to your body’s specific needs, you will have better hormonal balance leading to improved long-term results. Do you change what you eat depending on your cycle and/or type of workout you are doing? P.S. Want to learn more? Registration for my cycle syncing masterclass is now OPEN!

In this episode of the Carrots 'N' Cake Podcast, I talk all about cycle syncing and how it has changed my training and physique. I've learned how to prioritize my workouts to build lean muscle and burn fat depending on where I am in my menstrual cycle, and now I'm sharing that information with YOU!
Intuitively, most women know what our bodies need, but we choose to ignore them, which is sometimes why we don't see the results we want.
Syncing your menstrual cycle to your workouts takes the frustration, stress, and mental debate about what and how much exercise to do.

Do you need more willpower to get to your goals or is that BS?
Alternate title: How do you eat 3 bites of ice cream?
In this episode, I share my 4 pillar approach to developing more willpower. Well, technically, setting yourself up for success instead of solely relying on willpower. I share actionable steps you can take to balance your nutrition (and blood sugar) and how to feel more in control of your emotions (and cravings).

In this episode, I share everything you need to know about the DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones), including:
-
How the Dutch Test is different from other hormone tests (i.e. blood, saliva)
-
What information the Dutch provides and how it’s different from a single blood draw at your doctor's office
-
Why knowing your hormone levels AND what those hormones are doing in the body are extremely helpful to naturally improving hormonal imbalance
-
Why hormonal imbalance makes it so much harder to lose weight

Applications are now open for 1:1 coaching and hormone testing!!
In this episode, I share why I absolutely hate what diet trends, diet culture, and the constant push to lose weight has done to women in this country. It seems that everywhere you look, there is some new program, plan, or product designed to help you ‘finally get rid of those unwanted pounds’. And, as soon as some celebrity endorses it on the ‘gram, they fly off the shelves quicker than they can be stocked. Sure, the program, plan, or product works for a while. Many women are floored when they see that they too have lost 15 pounds in just 5 days and so the buzz grows and grows! But you and I both know that’s not sustainable, right? You and I both know that you can’t drink green juices, cut out all carbs, or eat less than 1200 calories a day forever, right? And when these women fall off the wagon (a sad inevitability) and start gaining the weight back (plus some extra) they feel like they’ve failed. But again, you and I know they haven’t. The diet failed. Not the woman. Trendy diets…
🔹Don’t take hormonal fluctuations into consideration 🔹Don’t address the caloric need changes you have throughout your cycle 🔹Don’t take advantage of the higher fat burn that takes place during the first half of your cycle 🔹Don’t address (and often create!) hormonal imbalances that make it harder to lose fat
If you're ready to stop the diet rollercoaster or you're completely frustrating with not getting results despite doing "everything right," our 1:1 coaching program might just be for you!

Are you eating enough?
Would it surprise you to know that most women are not eating enough?
Blame it on Diet Culture and the repeated messages that we need to eat low-carb, low-calorie everything to stay in shape.
As a result, most women habitually UNDEReat.
Maybe you’re one of them!
How do you know if you’re eating enough?
1️⃣You feel satisfied for 3-4 hours after meals
2️⃣You don’t crave sugar immediately after a meal
3️⃣You feel satiated, content, and happy, but not sluggish
4️⃣You’re able to recover after your workouts/aren’t insanely sore
5️⃣You don’t constantly think about food
If you cannot say ‘Yes’ to each of these 5 points, there’s a good chance you’re actually undereating.
So, tell me, are you eating enough?
If not, let our team of coaches help you determine what you should be eating for your body type, activity level, and goals.
The amount of food you can eat while still moving towards your goals may surprise you!

Walking away from tracking macros can be a scary endeavor, especially if you've tracked for awhile. For some women, macro tracking becomes second nature, which is great because they've become so comfortable with the tool. But, at the end of the day, the ultimate goal of macros is NOT for you to track them forever. I mean, do you want to be someone's Grandma and STILL track macros?!
It might sound daunting to stop tracking and move more towards intuitive eating, so I've shared a number of tips, tricks, and mindset shift to help you make the transition.

https://carrotsncake.lpages.co/birthday-sale/ LETTER TO MY 21 YEAR OLD SELF
Dear Tina, You’re pretty damn amazing, you know that? Of course, you don’t know that yet… because if you did, if you had even the slightest inkling of the incredible woman you will become, you’d stop treating your body like shit. Period. Listen, you’re brilliant, funny, beautiful, and healthy. And I want you to stay the exact same way. You do not have to do what others are doing just to fit in. You do not have to follow every diet trend or spend hours on the treadmill because you think it’ll keep you in shape. It won’t. Not in the long run. Right now, you have the power to make some pretty important decisions - decisions that will impact you for the rest of your life. And I really want you to make the right ones. Here are some things I want you to consider doing right now: Be kind to yourself (you're wayyyy too hard on yourself) Quit binge drinking Stop taking hormonal birth control Prioritize SLEEP (no one should function on 5 hours or less) Slow the F down It's okay to rest It's okay if you can't do it all More (work, exercise, etc.) is not always better You are worthy (no matter how much you achieve or don't achieve) These are all things I know will help you feel better as you get older. Trust me on this one. XO, Tina

The one thing that is true when it comes to fat loss is that you need to create a calorie deficit. You can do this through diet and/or exercise, but it's not the ONLY consideration for a success cut. A cut shouldn’t be incredibly challenging or totally miserable (you don’t need to suffer!), but it's also not going to be easy either. You gotta put in the effort if you want to see results!
Listen for a variety of strategic tips and tricks to make your next cut so much easier!
- Ask yourself: Is it a good time to cut?
- You’ve done some sort of strength training
- You spent 4-6 months at maintenance
- Your cut has an end date
- Don’t exclude your favorite foods.
- Drink half your weight in water each day.
- Consume high-volume foods.
- Don’t take a drastic calorie deficit at first
- Don't be lazy
- Meal prep
- Consume protein with all meals
- Prioritize sleep
- Try intermittent fasting
- Take measurements and progress photos I hope you find these tips helpful to your fat loss journey!

“Will I gain weight on a reverse diet?” This is the #1 question I receive from nutrition clients as well as prospective clients and followers on Instagram. And it's a valid concern because diet culture continuously tells us to "eat less, exercise more." But if you're not getting the results you want, it's time to try something new.
In this episode, you'll learn how reverse dieting results in different effects for different people. It often depends on your specific goals, the rate of the reverse, your dieting history, current physical situation (like body weight, hormonal health, and other related stats), your mindset, and your patience.
Remember: The goal of a reverse diet is not to lose weight. Instead, the goal is to increase calories, repair the metabolism, build muscle, and set you up for success when you decide to cut.

If you’ve been dieting for what seems like forever, whether it's for a special event or to hit your goal weight, it might be time for a break. I mean, dieting is exhausting, isn’t it? But, how do you take a diet break without piling on all the pounds you just lost? Try a reverse diet!
In this episode, learn what a reverse diet is all about and grab my free resource (linked below) to assess if you are a good candidate for one.

Reverse dieting is a great option for all kinds of people. From competitive fitness athletes to everyday women with a goal, reverse dieting is beneficial for body, mind, and soul. If you’ve been in a caloric deficit for a while, are starting to feel frustrated with the restriction, or are seeing a plateau in your results, a reverse diet might be the thing you need to shake things up!

If you struggle with consistency, maybe your definition of consistency looks too much like perfection. That’s it.
But really, look at what your ‘consistency’ looks like. Is it exercising for exactly 60 minutes a day, 5 times a week, rain, shine, and everything in between? Or is it simply moving your body on a regular basis? And being okay with 20 minutes when you can't get in your normal workout? Is it hitting 1500 calories each and every day, never more, no matter what? Or is it monitoring your portions, eating healthy foods most of the time, and listening to your body? You see, consistency only works when it’s something you can actually do for the long-term. If you’re giving up as soon as you make one ‘bad’ decision because you’re no longer ‘perfect’, we have a problem. Putting harsh restrictions on yourself, especially ones that keep you from friends and family or make you feel lousy all the time then kicking yourself when you ‘slip-up’, is not the kind of consistency that gets you results. All that gets you is frustrated, lonely, miserable, or even worse, injured.
Tune it for tips to shift your mindset and ways to look at things differently to help you get consistent and progress toward your goals!

One of the most common questions that I get from nutrition clients is “how do I get more protein into my diet?” Consuming enough protein is so important – it keeps you satisfied, your blood sugar more steady, cravings at bay, and helps you better recover from your workouts. Clients are often looking for tips on how to include more protein in their meals and snacks, so I discuss exactly what I do and share my formula for hitting my protein each and everyday.
For YOU, I created a special resource to help you easily plan your protein intake in order to hit your goal. This free resource includes a protein-focused grocery planner, macro cheat sheet, protein recommendations, meal targets, and more!

Camille Martin is a registered dietitian, health blogger, and senior technical editor for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She is also a former chronic dieter who wasted nearly 25 years of her life on a diet. When she finally quit dieting and started setting and achieving more meaningful goals, she lost weight without trying. She also made powerful connections between women’s obsession to lose weight and the cultural conditioning that keeps them locked in a prison of silence, shame, and limitation. In her book, Love To Lose: Love Your Life and Watch the Weight Lose Itself, she uses what she learned on her own weight-loss journey to help other women stop wasting their lives on a diet, embrace everything about themselves, achieve what they’re truly capable of -- and lose weight in the process. She received a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Georgia and a Bachelor of Science in nutrition from Georgia State University. She is a vegetarian, marathon runner, and avid reader who loves to travel. She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her two daughters and their rescue dogs.

IBD folks, before you bite my head off, hear me out... This was a HARD lesson for me to learn... and, boy, I wanted it to be the food so, so, sooooo badly. If I could control the food, I'd heal myself. But I've learned that diet alone will not get me into remission. I’ve tried a variety of elimination and support diets in an effort to heal my ulcerative colitis. Some of those have included:
▪️Paleo ▪️AIP ▪️SCD ▪️IBD-AID ▪️Low-FODMAP ▪️Elemental And while it feels good to have some semblance of ‘control’ over my intake, on their own, these diets did not solve the problem and never once put me in remission from my symptoms. Not even close. I wish it was that simple! For sure, diets can help and what you eat IS important to your health. But if you are in a full-blown flare where inflammation is out of control (in my case, going to the bathroom with bloody diarrhea 30+ times per day), food alone typically cannot lower inflammation to a point where the body can truly heal itself. It takes more than that. You need to: 1️⃣Get the inflammation under control (i.e. Prednisone) 2️⃣Nourish the microbiome with proper nutritious foods 3️⃣Repair the gut barrier It’s a multi-step process that requires time, energy, effort, and a lot of patience. Plus, lots of trial and error. What works for me, may or may not work in the same way for you. I'm sharing this because it took me YEARS to accept that diet alone wouldn't put me into remission. For me, remission took a biologic drug, supplements, more sleep, less stress, patience, grace, @themindfulnutrivore, @ibd.coach, and the sheer will to get better and never give up. By taking a multi-step, multi-layered approach to your health, you will be more likely to find something that works for you.
It's never ONE thing.

Let’s talk about all things low progesterone! Progesterone is a naturally-produced, steroid hormone that stimulates the uterus to prepare for pregnancy. Having ‘normal’ levels of progesterone is important for women of all ages because in addition to being necessary for healthy pregnancy it also aids in keeping the entire body functioning in a healthy and balanced way. Progesterone is the happy and calm hormone! Some of the symptoms of low progesterone include: hot flashes irregular cycles weight gain hypothyroidism insomnia headaches/migraines depression sugar cravings low libido The reasons you may have low progesterone include: low-fat diet/being too low in body fat chronic stress nutrient deficiencies poor diet certain medications lack of ovulation What to do if you think you have low progesterone: identify and address sources of stress eat healthy fats avoid caffeine, alcohol, and refined sugar avoid over-exercising If you think you may have low progesterone, there’s a test for that! We love the Dutch Test. Dutch stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. Our team of CNC coaches can help you determine if you have low progesterone (or any other hormonal imbalance). Don't let wonky hormones interfere with your health, happiness, or long-term goals!

Sharing some strategies and mindset shits for when you know 'what to do' but you're not doing it.
Save 10% on Kohv sunglasses with code carrotsncake
Sometimes you know exactly what to do… you’re just not doing it.
Let’s be real. Likely, you know what you need to do to get to your goals. If you want a degree, you’ve got to enroll in school, go to class, study, and do homework.
If you want to build a business or career, you’ve got to show up, focus, and work hard.
If you want a meaningful relationship, you’ve got to be patient, listen, and give of yourself when you can. Same thing goes for health and weight loss. You know exactly what you need to do... it’s really a matter of asking yourself, are you actually doing it? And doing it consistently? If when you look at it, it seems like maybe you’ve fallen off track, don’t worry. That’s totally normal and it happens to everyone. Don’t waste time beating yourself up about it. Instead, think about these three things: 1. Leave the perfectionist mentality behind. It’s not all or nothing. That is so damaging to your progress! Setbacks are part of the journey so it’s crazy to think you’ll never ever slip up! What matters most is how you respond and move forward from those setbacks. 2. Remember how good it felt to be ‘on track’ and be intentional to take good care of yourself. Making good food choices, exercising, getting compliments from friends and family, hitting PRs in the gym, buying a smaller size… you were THERE! You were doing the things and seeing progress. Remember how it felt and think of getting back to that feeling as your well-deserved and 100% necessary self-care! 3. Act in alignment of who you want to be. What would the person you want to be do in your situation? Choose a throw-together meal at home versus getting takeout? Squeeze in a workout at lunch? Do things in alignment with WHO you want to be. Eat in alignment, exercise, rest, etc. Are your actions helping you become the person you want to be and will those actions help you reach your goals? If not, change something! I bet if you really take a step back, you’ll see that you know what to do. You’ve done it before. You’ve just got to tap back into that feeling again and simply do it.

Does any of this sound familiar?
▪️You’re constantly craving coffee or sweets ▪️You wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back to sleep ▪️You’re often exhausted by mid-afternoon ▪️You can’t miss a meal without getting hungry or shaky ▪️You have a little extra weight around your midsection you just can’t seem to shake If so, you could have a blood sugar regulation issue. But don’t worry, lots of women do and, surprise, it’s easily fixed! Firstly, our glucose response is very sensitive and can be impacted by many things like inadequate sleep, dehydration, not eating well, excess stress, etc. If you’ve noticed any of the symptoms above, before running to a doctor, I suggest trying a few simple things to turn it around naturally: 1️⃣Eat your bigger meals during daytime hours. Your glucose response is tied to your circadian rhythm so, if your body thinks it’s time to rest, it will. And your glucose response will too, causing excess sugar to build up. 2️⃣Reduce stress. When you’re stressed, your liver pushes out more and more glucose as a way to combat that stress. This can cause blood sugar to become unbalanced. 3️⃣Eat breakfast, then proceed to eat smaller, more frequent meals (every 2-3 hours) to prevent the major sugar crash that often happens when you eat a lot of food at one time. 4️⃣Make sure you’re getting protein, fat, and carbs in every meal and always pair a piece of fruit with a protein to help your body process the fruit sugar more effectively. 5️⃣Stay away from processed sugars and limit your alcohol intake. Our team of expert coaches knows all about blood sugar and how to help you balance it. If you’re unsure whether or not you have a blood sugar regulation or not, or if you know you do but don’t know how to balance yourself out, let us help!

I kicked off the week with an old school iced coffee date! I actually had nothing specific planned, but then ended up going into detail about what's on the agenda for business in the coming months. And, as expected, there are some fun tangents and random "behind the scenes" info throughout the episode. Enjoy!!

So, you want to get rid of belly fat, build lean muscle, and look toned?
Lift weights.
Seriously.
Lifting weights helps you build muscle mass which means reduced body fat.
It might seem like you should be doing cardio (running, cycling, getting in ALL the steps) but really, what you need to do is lift weights and do some strength training.
Strength training changes your body composition, boosts your metabolism, and encourages muscle growth. Plus, when you have higher muscle mass, you have a higher base metabolic rate, which means you burn more calories throughout the day, even when you’re at rest. Torching calories when you’re binging on Netflix or cuddling with your kids? Perfection!
And don’t worry about getting ‘too big’. Honestly, the only way you’ll get ‘too big’ is by taking copious amounts of synthetic steroids, which you’re probably not going to do.
My new fitness program StrongMadeSimple 2.0 (SMS) is designed to increase muscle mass and reduce body fat so you look like you actually go to the gym… even if you’re just doing these workouts in your living room!
StrongMadeSimple 2.0 is a comprehensive, dumbbell-based fitness solution that provides you with a faster and more effective way to exercise at the gym or in the comfort of your own home. It's perfect for keeping you motivated and consistent with your workouts while also getting you the physique results you want!
Additionally, what you eat is just as important as how you train. With the SMS 2.0 Nutrition Companion Guide, you will receive guidance with how to plan and periodize your nutrition as well as recommendations for what to eat. Fueling your body properly and consuming enough calories is key to building lean muscle and changing your body composition for the better.
Both of these resources are available for a limited time!

The 3 biggest mistakes women make with exercise: 1. Too much cardio (not enough strength training). Cardio is great for heart health, and I definitely recommend keeping some level of cardiovascular movement in your weekly fitness regimen. However, focusing on cardio (spending hours upon hours every single week running on the treadmill, spinning, or hashing it out on the elliptical) can damage your hormones and slow down your metabolism. 2. Not eating enough to fuel muscle development and activity. Keeping a low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie diet may sound like the right thing to do if you want to lose weight but that’s not always (read: usually never) the case. If you’re not eating enough food, you’re ultimately causing your metabolism to adapt and slow down (in order to keep you alive) and can result in stalled weight loss or damaged hormones. 3. Not having a plan (doing random movements and random workouts will get you random results). If you’re looking to get a specific result, for example, lose 10 pounds, gain some nicely cut arms and perhaps create a flatter belly, you’ve got to eat the foods and do the exercises that will get you the results you’re looking for. Haphazard exercise does not equal a toned and fit physique. My new strength-training program, StrongMadeSimple 2.0, is exactly what you need to get the body composition you want. No hours-long cardio sessions, no rabbit food diets, no aimless wandering in the gym. This intermediate-advanced, dumbbell-only training program has 12 workouts, 45 minutes each, broken-down into 3 phases designed specifically to increase strength, definition, and lean lines. StrongMadeSimple 2.0 is available right now for a limited time!

In this episode, I share a personal story as well as some advice for making strength training more fun!
Ok, strength training can be boring. There, I said it. If you find it monotonous, it’s time to think about things differently. Does this sound familiar? When you first started strength training, your goals was to get into strength training… learn how to do, feel confident in your abilities, and see results. You’ve likely achieved those goals, so that’s probably why it doesn’t seem as exciting now, which means it’s time to set a NEW GOAL. It’s actually pretty simple… The best way to keep your workouts interesting is to have a clear, focused objective every single time you’re ready to workout. Yep, that’s it. Focus on what you’re going to accomplish and make it happen. A fitness program is key to having a plan and achieving your objective for the day. Strength training is the most effective form of exercise if you’re looking to lose weight and improve your body composition. So, if you want to get results, you’ve got to train. Why not make it less boring? StrongMadeSimple 2.0 is my 12-week total body strength solution for building muscle and burning fat… and it’s available TODAY, but only for a limited time.

In this episode, I share my current nutrition and fitness "framework." I put framework in quotes because it is not a strict/black and white approach and changes from day-to-day depending on how I feel, my schedule, etc. But I thought sharing this information might be helpful to others, so I wanted a way to summarize what I'm doing now since I'm feeling so good! I hope my story gives you some ideas for your own diet and lifestyle goals.

How much is too much exercise? Some symptoms of overtraining are obvious, others not so much. Many women (myself included) mistake overtraining symptoms as a result of other things or ignore them all together thinking it's "normal." The most common symptoms of overtraining include: ▪️insomnia ▪️fatigue ▪️headaches ▪️weight gain, especially around midsection ▪️moodiness or irritability ▪️change in the menstrual cycle ▪️hair loss ▪️numbness or tingling in the hands or feet ▪️increase in perceived difficulty of workouts ▪️reduced motivation ▪️repeated injuries, body aches, and pains If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms and exercise regularly without many rest days, it’s possible that you’re experiencing overtraining syndrome. In this episode, I share my experience with overtraining and how I reversed it and moved on from it. For me, it came down to assessing my current workout (and nutrition) routine as well as taking a honest look at my lifestyle and eliminating as much stress as possible.

Tough love pep talk:
You want to lose weight, but are you willing to do what’s needed to lose weight? Really, are you? It’s time for a little tough love. If you’re not willing to… Track Macros Meal Prep Get Sleep Drink Water Lift Weights Work on Your MINDSET Do you really, truly want results? I ask because amazing results do not come from average effort. You have to put in the work to see the results. It’s that simple. If you want an incredible and radically different outcome, you’ve got to do something incredibly and radically different. ▪️You’re going to have to monitor your intake. ▪️You’re going to have to exercise. ▪️You’re going to have to plan, prepare, and put in the work. If you want to lose weight, you have to do what it takes to lose weight. You can’t just wish for it, you can’t just envision it, you can’t just hope for it. You have to work for it. That’s it. You have to work. No more excuses, no more beating around the bush. Make a decision and do what it takes.

Ten reasons you’re not losing weight: ▪️You’re stressed ▪️You’re not getting enough sleep ▪️You’ve been on a diet forever ▪️You don’t spend long enough in maintenance ▪️You’re not getting enough movement during the day ▪️You’re overtraining ▪️You’re only doing cardio ▪️Your hormones/thyroid/gut health are out of whack ▪️You’re eating too much processed food ▪️You’re estimating how much you’re eating Lots of factors influence weight loss… and they’re usually not the ones you think about! If you’ve been dieting for too long, your metabolism may be damaged, meaning weight loss is near-impossible.
If you’re not getting enough sleep, your cortisol is likely very high, which impacts your hormones and slows your metabolism to a crawl. If you’re over-training you could be putting too much stress on your system which forces the body to ‘hold on’ to the fuel you give it, again, stalling loss. If you’re not tracking your intake, you’re likely eating more than you think you are, therefore undoing any perceived caloric deficit you thought you had. So, stop dieting, get sleep, quit overtraining, and start tracking. Let’s get you back on track and back to losing weight.

If you haven’t lost weight on the scale, but your measurements are down, then what you’re doing IS working! Let me be frank. The scale is a ridiculous way to measure success. Yes, it can help you monitor progress. But it’s just one of many tracking tools and it’s certainly not the best tool available. Oftentimes, fat loss happens, and body composition changes, but the scale stays the exact same. It actually happens with A LOT of our clients. The scale may not move, but their jeans are getting baggy, their waistline is becoming more defined, and their overall physique is tightening up. If you’re waking up in the morning, getting on the scale, seeing the same numbers day after day BUT you’re also noticing your clothes feeling looser or catching glimpses of abs or arm muscles you didn’t see before, what you’re doing IS working. I recommend using multiple methods to track physical progress such as:
▪️Taking measurements ▪️Progress pictures ▪️Biofeedback ▪️Using a specific set of clothes as a guideline ▪️Looking at yourself naked
Then the scale. Because the scale cannot show you overall health improvements, fat-to-muscle gains, or physique changes. It will only show you a number. And you’re SO MUCH MORE than a number.

Should you use the scale? This one is tricky. While I believe the scale can be a great tool for monitoring progress and daily weight fluctuations, it’s really important to remember that the scale is just a tool. Meaning, use it, but don’t abuse it. Or better yet, don’t let it abuse you. If the scale triggers you, makes you think negative thoughts about yourself, lowers your self-confidence, or causes you to obsess over everything you eat and every movement you make, then it’s probably not a great idea for you to use on a regular basis. However, if you know that it doesn’t represent your self-worth and that the numbers will fluctuate day to day, then it can be very useful in helping you stay on track to your goals and maintain your results once you get there. Your relationship with the scale can change over the years too. In my 20s and even early 30s, I tied myself worth to the weight on the scale. I felt like if the number wasn’t low enough, I wasn’t good enough and it really messed with my head. It wasn't until I found CrossFit that I finally made peace with the scale. CrossFit focuses on progress INSIDE of the gym... lifting heavier, moving faster, and becoming an athlete. While doing CrossFit, I consistently saw the number on the scale increase, but my body composition changed for the better... and I loved it! I gained about 10 pounds on the scale, but my clothes fit better, I saw definition in my arms and abs, and I had so much confidence that the number on the scale didn't matter one bit! Long story short, the scale is an excellent tool for tracking data and measuring progress. But it is only a tool and it is only ONE of many different tools you can use. If it doesn’t feel good to you, skip it!

Sara McGlothlin is a holistic nutritionist, health writer, wellness entrepreneur and yoga/fitness teacher based in Richmond, VA. For years she has been coaching clients on the importance of holistic health and nutrition. Her practice is inspired by her passion of educating others how to live healthier lives. She understands that when it comes to health, there is no “one-size-fits-all;” therefore, she uses an individual, informative and supportive approach to help guide clients to achieve their goals and make sustainable changes. In her practice, she primarily focuses on areas such as weight loss, emotional eating, food intolerances, digestive issues, and increasing feelings of energy and overall well being.
In early January 2019, after publishing her first cookbook, she and her husband Alex launched their natural foods company, Gratisfied, fueled by their desire to make more of an impactful change in the packaged food space. Gratisfied is founded on the mission that there can be a world where nutrition and convenience co-exist. In June of 2020, Sara created her online magazine Healthified to be a space to share and educate across holistic health topics.
Before obtaining her certification as a holistic nutrition consultant, she worked in sales and marketing in both the banking and natural foods industries. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Economics, and received her Masters in Elementary Education from Mary Baldwin College.

When a diet doesn’t work, we blame ourselves. It’s so common in women, and I see it all the time. Women believe THEY are the problem when they don’t get the results they want. They think they just need more willpower, more consistency, and wake up at 4:00 AM to exercise. This approach (and mindset) is detrimental to progress, and it turns out that your diet is ACTUALLY the problem - not you!

I’m sure you’ve heard all kinds of tips for staying consistent during the holidays… ok, maybe you’ve even heard the same ones over and over again (I can relate!)... yet they do nothing for your progress.
Over the years, I’ve learned that shifting your MINDSET about diet and lifestyle is the biggest dial-mover when it comes to getting results and maintaining your sanity, which is why I devoted an entire episode to how to make the most of your mindset during the holidays.
In this episode, I chat about:
How a small mindset shift can make your willpower stronger How to set yourself up for success How to prioritize what’s most important this season How to feel confident moving into the new year

Did Entyvio cause my cough? Was it a candida overgrowth? Would I need to take an inhaler forever? Why couldn’t my doctors figure out what was wrong? Answers to these questions as well as the protocol I used to get rid of it are covered in this episode.

Our already picky eater went through a phase not too long ago where he really wasn’t eating anything. Quinn would go multiple days in a row where he would barely eat anything at all. Mal and I started to get nervous because Quinn was losing weight, and he started to eat fewer and fewer foods. So we reached out to Kacie Barnes, MCN, RDN (Mama Knows Nutrition) for help. Her ideas and advice were so amazing, I just had to share it with other parents who might be struggling as well.
