    370 // Perimenopause Nutrition and Training: What Women Need to Know

    In this episode of the Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast, Nicole talks with fitness coach, author, and podcast host Lindsey Mathews about what perimenopause actually is, the signs women may notice as they enter this season, and how shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can affect the way women feel and respond to diet and exercise. Lindsey explains why she considers strength training a form of “midlife medicine,” how nutrition and recovery may need to evolve during the menopausal transition, and which popular perimenopause trends and fear-based messages women can safely ignore. If you’re navigating perimenopause - or simply want a more evidence-based, sustainable approach to strength, nutrition, and health in midlife - this conversation is for you. Learn more from Lindsey through her podcast, Nourish and Strengthen with Trainer Lindsey, and her book, Perimenopause Fitness and Nutrition For Dummies.

    369 // How to Lose Body Fat Without Reliving 2003 Diet Culture

    In this episode, Nicole talks about why today’s body and weight-loss landscape feels eerily familiar to Millennial women who grew up in 90s and early-2000s diet culture; and why old beliefs about food, weight, discipline, and thinness can start feeling louder when everyone around you suddenly seems to be getting smaller. Nicole breaks down how you can be “done with dieting” and still mentally follow the rules you learned from Weight Watchers, Atkins, SlimFast, The Biggest Loser, and the rest of the diet culture that raised us. She also explores the important difference between wanting to lose body fat and feeling like you need to become as small as possible to be successful, disciplined, or worthy. Throughout this episode you’ll learn what sustainable, health-promoting fat loss can look like; including creating a manageable calorie deficit, protecting muscle and strength, eating enough to support your body, maintaining flexibility around food, and building habits that can survive your actual life. Nicole also introduces The Rewrite, her approach to identifying the old diet-culture rules still influencing your choices and replacing them with evidence-based nutrition skills so you can finally create fat loss you can confidently maintain.  Apply for 1:1 Nutrition Coaching: https://nutritioncoachingwithnicole.com/1-on-1-coaching Check your HSA/FSA Eligibility:   https://app.truemed.com/qualify/tm_qual_q0c29x5n9v

    368 // When Skinny Isn’t Healthy: The Cost of Chasing Your Smallest Body

    In this episode, Nicole unpacks the difference between pursuing thinness at all costs and pursuing fat loss in a way that actually supports your health. She shares her own experience of being at her smallest - and simultaneously her least healthy - as years of restriction and over-exercise cost her energy, strength, her menstrual cycle, bone health, and a healthy relationship with food. Nicole also explores where our obsession with thinness comes from, how 90s and early-2000s diet culture taught women to equate smaller bodies with health, discipline, and worth, and how weight stigma and fear of gaining weight continue to influence the way women eat and care for their bodies today. Throughout this episode you’ll learn how to tell the difference between weight loss at all costs and health-promoting, sustainable fat loss - including why muscle, strength, nutrition, menstrual health, energy, flexibility around food, and your ability to maintain your habits matter more than getting the number on the scale as low as possible. Because weight loss tells you your body got lighter, but it doesn’t tell you what you lost to get there.

    367 // 7 Diet Culture Rules You’re Still Subscribing To Without Realizing It

    If you grew up in the ’90s or early 2000s, there’s a good chance some of the diet rules you learned back then are still influencing the way you eat, exercise, and think about weight loss today. In this episode, Nicole breaks down seven common diet-culture beliefs Millennial women may still be subscribing to without realizing it - from believing eating less is always better, to treating the scale like a report card, “saving” calories, earning food with exercise, and assuming struggle means you need more discipline. You’ll also learn the evidence-based rewrite for each rule, why knowing better doesn’t always mean you can immediately do better, and how old diet-culture conditioning can sabotage sustainable fat loss.

Throughout this conversation you'll learn what research says about self-compassion, acceptance, weight stigma, and behavior change, plus how the diet-culture messages Millennial women learned in the ’90s and early 2000s continue to influence food choices, exercise, body image, and expectations today.

    In this episode of Health, Wellth & Wisdom, host and head coach, Nicole Hagen shares a conversation originally recorded for fellow nutrition coach Lisa Franz’s podcast, Nutrition Coaching & Life. Throughout the conversation you’ll hear about Nicole’s journey from restrictive eating and calorie-focused exercise to strength training, flexible consistency, and her healthiest relationship with food yet.  You’ll also learn about:  why hyper-independent women struggle with sustainable weight loss,  how perfectionism fuels all-or-nothing thinking,  why the scale is only one measure of progress,  what healthy habits can look like while raising two toddlers why “good enough” meals and workouts still count why sustainable progress is less about discipline and more about learning how to adapt when life doesn’t go according to plan If you’ve ever thought you should be able to manage your nutrition and weight-loss goals on your own, or felt like a workout or meal didn’t count because it wasn’t ideal, this conversation is for you.
