    EP185: Organ Meats & Ancestral Nutrition For Women

    Organ meats and ancestral nutrition aren’t a trend.. They’re a return to how the human body was designed to be nourished! And organ supplements are one way to reintroduce the highly bioavailable, tissue-specific nutrients that most of us lack. In this episode, I unpack the common dismissal of women’s health concerns in modern medicine, simply because their blood work falls within "normal ranges", or they appear “healthy”. We talk about how symptoms like painful periods, irregular cycles, weight gain, mood instability, fatigue, and low libido have become so normalized they’re brushed off as stress, age, or “just hormones", rather than addressing potential underlying nutrient depletion that organ-based nutrition can help support. I explain why hormones don’t work in isolation, why nutrient density in food matters more than most people realize, and why standard labs only show a piece of what’s actually happening inside the body. This episode also dives into the underrepresentation of women (specifically post-menopause) in medical research, how that impacts treatment, and why nutrition deserves far more respect in modern health conversations. I also share my personal experience with cycle irregularity, Primal Queen Supplements, and why organ-based nutrition is part of my own routine. Key Topics: The ancestral concept of “like supports like” with organ-specific nutritionModern diets lack the enzymes, cofactors, and bioavailable micronutrients organs providePainful periods, cycle irregularity, mood instability, fatigue, weight gain, and low libidoHow “normal” blood work can still coexist with very devastating symptomsEstrogen metabolism, liver function, mitochondrial health, and nervous system overloadThe underrepresentation of women in clinical research and its consequencesWhy most organ supplements stop at liver, heart, and kidneyWhy I like Primal Queen Supplements: inclusion of female reproductive organsProper supplement sourcing, third-part testing, digestion, and individualized contextWhy supplements can never replace food, training, recovery, and lifestyle Key Links: 📱 Christina's Instagram  💪 Cut & Conquer Instagram 📝 Coaching Application 🌍 Free FB Community 🧠 Free “Skool” Fitness Material Want to try Female-Focused Beef Organ Supplements? 👑 Get 25% OFF Primal Queen No discount code needed, simply use the link above. 🌶️ Healthy Devil Seasoning [DISCOUNT CODE: BEYONDTHEBODY10] Episodes Mentioned: EP:157 Nutrition for Healthy Hormones & Weight Loss EP:160 Food, Fat Loss, & Muscle Growth Hosted on Acast.

    EP184: Exposing the Patterns Keeping Us Stuck - Part 2

    In Part 2 of this series, we move beyond awareness and into pattern recognition: how your unconscious is running the show, even when you think you’re making aligned decisions. Because whatever is unacknowledged inside of you, will express itself outside of you. This episode builds directly on Part 1, where we explored how fear-based scripts were formed before you had the awareness to question them. Now, we unpack the idea of “as above, so below” and how unacknowledged beliefs inevitably show up as habits, behaviors, and repeated life situations. I share personal examples from my own life and patterns I see with fitness clients at Cut & Conquer, especially around binge eating, discipline, and self-sabotage. This episode introduces three core energetic signatures that commonly keep people stuck, not as labels, but as lenses for understanding behavior without self-judgment. The goal isn’t to fix yourself, but to see clearly enough to choose differently. Topics Discussed: How unconscious fear-based agreements still run your behavior, even during “self-improvement”“As above, so below”: How internal beliefs create external patternsOver-correction as protection: hyper-independence, perfectionism, and controlWhy binge eating, sabotage, and “lack of discipline” are signals, not flawsThe 3 energetic signatures that commonly run people’s lives:- The Defensive Self (Armored One archetype) - The Unrealized Self (Eternal Girl archetype) - The Dissociated Self (Unseen One archetype) How attachment styles and nervous system responses shape fitness, relationships, and consistencyProjection, judgment, and why what triggers you isn’t actually about other peopleUsing awareness and metacognition to interrupt patterns before they repeatEnvy vs jealousy: different wounds, different stories, different survival strategies Key Links: 📱 Christina's Instagram  💪 Cut & Conquer Instagram 📝 Coaching Application 🌍 Free FB Community 🧠 Free “Skool” Fitness Material Episode Sponsors: 🌶️ Healthy Devil Seasoning [DISCOUNT CODE: BEYONDTHEBODY10] 💊 BulkBully Supplements [DISCOUNT CODE: BEYONDTHEBODY15] Hosted on Acast.

    EP183: Releasing Self-Judgement: The Illusion of Perfection - Part 1

    Christina examines perfection culture and how systems, conditioned responses, and inherited beliefs teach us to self-abandon in order to feel accepted, worthy, or safe. She explores how these patterns shape our emotional responses, fuel people-pleasing, and keep us chasing approval at the expense of our authenticity. The conversation highlights the role of ego, self-reflection, and the courage it takes to question beliefs you didn’t consciously choose. In part 1 of this 2 part series, Christina invites listeners to challenge long-held assumptions, reconnect with their inner truth, and explore authenticity not as an image… but as a path back to self-trust and personal freedom. Topics Discussed: The illusion of perfection and why it disconnects us from ourselvesHow meaning gets attached to flaws, mistakes, and identityPeople-pleasing as a response to rejection and emotional safetyHow our emotional reactions are shaped by internalized beliefsWhy guilt and shame show up when we challenge old beliefsThe freedom that comes from questioning assumptionsAuthenticity as a path to personal freedom This is part one of a two-part series.  Part Two: “Exposing the Patterns That Keep Us Stuck” will release next week — where we go even deeper into identifying and breaking the loops that keep you trapped in perfection, self-judgment, and emotional reactivity.

    EP182: WTF is Reality Anyways?

    Christina dives into the intricate relationship between consciousness and reality, urging listeners to question societal norms and the systems that shape our lives. She explores the impact of these systems on health, the nature of consciousness, and the role of language in shaping identity.  Christina emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in navigating the medical system and challenges the conventional education system's approach to individuality. Highlighting how institutions like schools, government, Big Food, and Big Pharma profit from our disconnection and compliance. She also breaks down different worldviews, how labels become self-fulfilling spells, and why your fitness, body image, and health are the gateway to deeper awakening. The conversation culminates in a discussion about co-creation and personal evolution, encouraging listeners to question everything—starting with their own beliefs. Topics Discussed:The difference between consciousness and “objective” reality — and why our understanding of both may be incompleteHow systems and institutions profit from you staying disconnected, unhealthy, and compliantWhy most people never realize they’re running unconscious scripts that shape their emotions, choices, and opportunitiesThe materialist model vs. alternative views of consciousness — including the idea that the brain may receive rather than produce awarenessPlacebo, nocebo, and how beliefs can literally create physical responses in the bodyHow language and labels become identity cages and self-fulfilling propheciesThe limitations of a pill-for-everything medical culture: stabilization of symptoms vs. holistic healingHow the education system trains compliance over curiosity and self-trustWhy body image, health, and fitness are foundational for deeper self-growthThe tension between social media algorithms and authentic expressionPulling apart cultural conditioning around marriage, “doctors know best,” and “school is everything”What it really means to question your beliefs and choose evolution instead of staying “safe” in old identities If you’ve been searching for something deeper, this episode hands you a key. What you choose to unlock from here is yours to discover. Listen with curiosity — and be willing to rethink everything you thought you knew.

    EP181: My Top 5 Weight Loss Tips From 8 Years of Coaching

    After 8+ years of coaching weight loss transformations, I am bringing you my ULTIMATE TOP 5 TIPS. If you’ve been chasing “weight loss” for years and still feel stuck, listen to this before you start another program. This is NOT your typical “eat more protein and walk 10K steps” weight loss advice... We talk about why fat loss and weight loss are not the same thing, and why your results will always mirror the level of self-respect and self-trust you bring into the process. I explain why refusing to take nutrition seriously can keep you stuck for YEARS — no matter how hard you workout — and why quality, strategic weight training matters far more than chasing soreness or calorie burn. You’ll learn how to treat cardio like a strategic tool, not a punishment, and how to anchor your progress in structure instead of relying on “motivation”. I also bring some tough-love around sacrifice, repetition, and belief-shifts. We unpack what it actually looks like to weigh your food, say “no,” cut back on takeout and alcohol, bring your meals to events, and embrace a season of “boring” structure; so you can finally stop chasing the same weight loss goal year after year, and step into your era of health, consistency, and self-respect. Topics Discussed: The link between self-trust and keeping promises to yourselfSetting boundaries with coworkers, friends, family, and “fitness shamers”Form, control, tempo, and time under tension in your workoutsThe mistake of trying to build muscle and lose fat with the same approachCutting back takeout, alcohol, restaurant food, and grazingStructure and repetition as the real drivers of transformationHow shift work, PCOS, menopause, parenting, etc. affect your journeyReframing carbs, restriction, and the idea that dieting has to suckLetting go of old identities and patterns so you’re not repeating the same loopsCreating your life from self-respect and self-trust instead of shame and scarcity This episode marks the end of an era for Beyond the Body, and next week we begin a new chapter with the show rebrand. Thank you to all my listeners for the support over the last 4+ years! Episodes Mentioned: How to Master Your Meal Prep How Many Calories Should You Be Eating?

    EP179: Yearly Reflections & Key Lessons for Growth

    Every December at Cut & Conquer we sit down and reflect on the year. What worked, what didn’t, what lessons we learned, and the beliefs we had to outgrow. Bella joins me to unpack the year in regards to personal development, fitness, relationships, coaching, and real life. We uphold tradition by picking our 2026 “word of the year,” and get real about our own strengths, weak spots, and growth strategies. 2025 truly surprised me in ways I didn’t expect. I questioned rules I’d lived by for years, leaned into vulnerability, and found progress in places I used to fear. If you’re tired of the “new year, same noise,” this is the episode that gives you real-life stories with depth, anchors, and a clearer lens for your own future. Topics Discussed: Our “word of the year” for 2026Why I replaced resolutions with a single word five years ago — and never looked back2025’s biggest lessons, favorite memories, and proudest accomplishmentsQuestioning rules and social norms we take for grantedCuriosity over judgment + conflict without egoStrengths that emerged and weak spots that surfacedWhat made progress in fitness feel easierThe meaning we attach to emotions and how that affects behavior No matter what time of year you decide to tune in, If you’re looking for practical takeaways with real depth, you’ll get both.
