    #325 - What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About Cancer, Hormones & Healing with Dr Leigh Erin Connealy

    I’ve been trying to get Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy on the podcast since last year—and after moving countries twice (and totally butchering her name 🤣 as us Aussies do), we finally made it happen.   It was worth the wait! Dr. Connealy is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to treating cancer, hormonal imbalances, and chronic illness with a root cause approach.  She doesn’t just throw meds at symptoms—she looks at what’s actually driving disease and helps people heal from the inside out.   This episode hit extra close to home for me because my sister recently went through breast cancer. And honestly, I wish more people had access to the kind of information Dr. Connealy shares, because it’s not just for people with cancer—it’s for everyone.   🔥 In this episode, we dive into:   ✔️ How the way you’ve lived your life up until now affects your health   ✔️ Why real food—organ meats, dairy, fruit, root vegetables—is one of the keys to healing and thriving   ✔️ The biggest lies we’ve been told about birth control, HRT, and cancer treatment   ✔️ Why we need to stop fearing the sun and start getting daily exposure   ✔️ How modern living—EMFs, pollution, and toxic chemicals—are affecting our health and what we can do about it   ✔️ The real reason so many women struggle in perimenopause and menopause   It’s a wake-up call and an empowering message rolled into one. You are not broken. You don’t need a magic pill. But you do need to take radical responsibility for your health.   This episode is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on the podcast—so go listen, share it with every woman you know, and let’s take our health back.   RESOURCES + LINKS Rebuild Your Metabolism Method: 28 Day Challenge Learn more about our Winatlife Coaching options Saturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.

    #324 - I've reached my goal weight but don't look toned: here's why with Craig McDonald

    You've Lost Weight… But Why Don’t You Look the Way You Want? 🤔 And now you’re stuck eating low calories just to maintain your new weight… So many women come to us frustrated.  They've done the restrictive diet and they’ve hit their “goal weight,” but their body still doesn’t look the way they imagined and they have to eat a lot less to maintain this new body weight.  Here’s why: losing weight and changing your body composition are NOT the same thing. If you want to look strong and toned (and be able to eat more food) — not just smaller — you need to focus on body recomposition (gaining muscle and losing body fat, not just weight loss).  That’s exactly what we break down in our latest podcast episode. ✅ Why hitting a goal weight doesn’t guarantee the body you want ✅ How to figure out the right body fat percentage for YOUR ideal look ✅ Why building muscle should be a long-term goal (and how to do it) ✅ The power of tracking progress beyond just the scale ✅ What realistic muscle gain looks like for women over 40 ✅ Why having more muscle means you can eat more  ✅ The health benefits of having more muscle as you age  This episode is a must-listen if you’re stuck in the cycle of dieting but not seeing the body transformation you want.  RESOURCES + LINKS Rebuild Your Metabolism Method: 28 Day Challenge Learn more about our Winatlife Coaching options Saturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.

    #323 - Low tox living and kids gut health with Kelly Carpenter

    A little while ago, Kelly (@TheDetoxedLife) joined our program and her results have been incredible.  🙌 She’s down 10 lbs, building strength every week, and loving how she’s balancing muscle-building and macros while managing life with two kids. When I saw Kelly’s profile, I knew I had to get her on the podcast as we have many women in our program who have kids with gut health issues and she’s a nutritionist specialising in kids' gut health.  Kelly’s journey started with her own struggles—IBS, endometriosis, infertility, and toxic dieting. After discovering pro-metabolic eating, she healed her gut and found balance. Her son, Arlen, was her inspiration to help kids heal. At just 7, he struggled with stomach aches, low weight, and leaky gut.  Through targeted testing and protocols, Kelly helped him heal completely. He’s now thriving—no more stomach issues or picky eating! She also talked about how toxins in everyday products (fake tans, perfumes, and beauty creams) contribute to hormone disruption, cycle issues, and even infertility. This is one reason @thenutritioncoach and I created @saturee_official_ skincare. It's free from PUFA's and toxic ingredients. Kelly’s journey reminds us that it’s not about perfection—it’s about starting where you’re at, building habits step by step, and showing up consistently. Whether it’s training three days a week, dialling in your nutrition, or finding time for self-care, progress happens when you commit. If you’re a mom struggling with your own health or looking for solutions for your kids, Kelly’s story is a must-hear.  RESOURCES + LINKS Rebuild Your Metabolism Method: 28 Day Challenge Learn more about our Winatlife Coaching options Saturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.

    #322 - How to use carbs to lose weight & improve your metabolism with Craig McDonald

    This week I sat down with Craig to talk about carbs and sugar—the real deal behind your energy, mood, and results.  For years, I was stuck in the "anti-carb" "anti-sugar" mindset.  I cut out sugar, avoided fruit, and thought I was doing everything right... except for the weekend binges on Ben & Jerry's and corn chips. 🤣 Sound familiar?  The problem wasn’t carbs—it was the restrictive cycle I was trapped in. In this week's podcast, we dive deep into how carbohydrates are actually your body's preferred energy source.  We unpack why cutting them isn’t the answer when it comes to sustainable weight loss, how they can support your metabolism, and why they’re essential for building muscle and achieving a strong, toned body.  Plus, we share the key to eating carbs while reaching your goals—and yes, it involves eating the foods you love without guilt.

    #320 - Get Clear on Your Goals: How Phases and Progression Transform Your Body and Health with Craig McDonald

    Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 Craig and I just dropped our first podcast of 2025, and it’s packed with reflections, laughs, and actionable insights to kickstart your year. 2024 was a rollercoaster for us— we moved country twice 🤣, big business changes, personal challenges, and even adopting two adorable rescue dogs in Thailand Suri and Mali - I just love them so much already🐾. Through it all, one thing became clear: growth comes from embracing the process, even when it’s tough. In this episode, we dive into: ✨ The different phases of body transformation—fat loss, body recomposition, and muscle building—and why understanding which phase is right for you is key to success. ✨ Why body recomposition (gaining muscle while losing fat) is ideal for most women starting out. ✨ The benefits of focusing on muscle building and improving your metabolism, especially if you’ve been chronically dieting or have hit a plateau. ✨ Why setting clear, realistic body composition goals is a game-changer. ✨ How strength training and proper nutrition can completely transform your physique (and your mindset!). ✨ Practical advice for embracing consistent, imperfect action to create lasting results. Not sure which phase you should be focusing on? We break it all down, so you can confidently map out your goals and understand how to get there step by step.
