    #397 - You're Not a Unicorn, You're Just Under-Resourced with Leila Lutz

    Part two with @leilalutz. If you missed part part comment POD396 and I’ll DM you the link to listen to part 1. This one goes somewhere different. We get into why perimenopause has become the industry's new favourite thing to sell you.  Why "you're not a unicorn, you're just under-resourced" might be the most useful sentence in this whole conversation.  Why insulin resistance almost never means your hormones are just failing you out of nowhere, it means chronic stress has cortisol and adrenaline running the show, blocking insulin from doing its job. Why muscle matters so much, because it acts like a sink for glucose and improves your insulin sensitivity.  And then we get real.  Leila told me she had to make an actual appointment with herself to go to the gym because somewhere along the way she'd decided she didn't deserve to. If you've ever felt guilty for resting, for eating, for taking up space, this one's for you. comment POD397 and i'll send you the link to part 2.

    #396 - Why Her Bloods Were 'Fine' and Her Thyroid Was Screaming with Leila Lutz

    My friend Leila never called herself an athlete. Never called it exercise. She just called it "clean living." It was slowly wrecking her thyroid. She's been a nutrition coach and personal trainer for 25 years. Had Hashimoto's her whole adult life. Trained clients all day, every day. Carried her own gym gear in and out of her car between sessions, then trained herself on top of that. One day she logged her food out of curiosity and found she'd eaten 1500 calories of fat in a single day. Looked at it, thought "that can't be right," and moved on with her life. We sat down and went right through her actual food and training history from back then. What was really happening in her body while she believed she was doing everything right. Why the number on the scale lied to her for years. Why a doctor once held her pulse and told her "your thyroid is screaming for help, you need to put weight on" and she said no, I'm fine, my bloods are fine. This one's a big episode so we've split it into two parts, this is part 1.

    #395 - The nuanced truth about intuitive eating vs structure with Peta Kelly

    A few weeks ago, I interviewed @petajean on the podcast.  I just love her and her perspective. We yapped for so bloody long that I split it into two, so this is part two of the episode. Something came up at the end of this podcast with Peta that I think a lot of women need to hear. Someone in my community had bought her book and left a comment saying, doesn't Peta believe in just eating intuitively? Isn't that what she teaches? Why would she join a structured programme? I love this question because it gets to the heart of something we get wrong about intuitive eating all the time. Intuitive eating is the goal. Genuinely. Once you understand your body, once you have built the foundation of knowing what you actually need, you should be eating in a way that feels natural and effortless. But you can not intuitively eat if you have no idea what your body needs.  And a lot of women who think they are eating intuitively are just undereating and calling it intuition. Peta joined our program because she wanted specific results. She wanted to get stronger. She wanted accountability. She wanted someone to see things she could not see herself. And she is honest enough to admit that there is nothing wrong with that. Structure is not the enemy of freedom. Done right, it is how you get there. She also said something I think about a lot, that it is okay to want to be leaner, stronger, more toned.  You are allowed to want that. You are allowed to work for it. It does not make you vain or disordered or not aligned with body positivity. It just has to come from love, not punishment. This is part 2, if you haven’t listened to part 1 go back and listen to it first.

    #394 - The counterintuitive truth about health obsession with Peta Kelly

    I came across Peta years ago when we were both in Isagenix.  We then crossed paths again when she started using Saturée skincare and I sent her some of our new Methlyne Blue serum to try.  She even did a block of coaching with Nyssa in our 16 week WinAtLife Accelerator program because she wanted a challenge.   I just love her and her perspective on things so I invited her to come onto the podcast for a chin wag! I've been sitting with something she said in this week's podcast and I can't get it out of my head. She talked about having all the gear. The sauna. The biomat. The oxygen machine that was still sitting in the box she never opened. The whole house water filter. Years of studying health science and metabolism. And she was more anxious, more controlled, and less free than she'd ever been. It wasn't until she spent time in Italy watching the nonnas just eat, no protocols, no biohacking, no stress about it, that she realised something had quietly gone wrong. The more you learn, the more you believe you need a perfect regime to be okay and before you know it, the obsession with optimising your health is actually the thing making you sick. Not in your body. In your head.  In how small your life has become. "you go from seeking health to become more free, to using health to be more controlled." I see this with some of the women who come to work with us. Doing everything right on paper. Eating well, supplementing, sleeping okay and still not feeling great When we dig in, what we find isn't a missing supplement. It's that they're running at 150% with no joy. No rest. No alignment. Relationships that drain them. A life they're not enjoying. Joy is pro-metabolic. Alignment is pro-metabolic. Your relationships, your creativity, whether you feel safe in your life, all of it affects your metabolism. Peta said something I want every woman listening to actually hear: What you believe about your body matters more than what you eat. We yapped for so long I split it into two episodes. This is part 1.

    #393 - You didn't fall into the perimenopause hole. You built up to it with Kitty Martone

    Most women think perimenopause just happened to them. It didn't. Your 30s were the set up. The skipped meals, the 12-hour days, the normalised stress, the sleep you pushed through. Your body was compensating the whole time. Perimenopause just removed the buffer. The good news is you didn't break anything. You depleted your resources. And you can absolutely build them back. I did a deep dive on this with my friend Kitty Martone @healthygutgirlofficial on episode 393 of the podcast. She is one of the sharpest minds on progesterone and hormonal health, and we got into exactly why the foundations have to come first before anything else will work. We also talked about her incredible new book, Balance Matters: Rethinking Estrogen, Reclaiming Progesterone, Restoring Hormonal Stability.

    #392 - From Leukaemia to Stronger Than Ever: One Woman's Comeback at 42 with Katie

    Katie came on the podcast this week and said something I haven't stopped thinking about. "If you think investing in your health is expensive, get cancer. When you're lying in a hospital bed, you don't care about money. You would pay anything." She's 42. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2024. Medically induced coma. 10 weeks in hospital. Learned to walk and write her name again from scratch. The chemo put her into menopause at 39. Overnight. She came out the other side completely hormonally wrecked and like so many of you, found herself drowning in conflicting information about what to do with her body. What moved the needle wasn't restriction. Wasn't fasting. Wasn't the 1500 calories and six days of training she used to do. It was eating more. More carbs specifically. Lifting three days a week. And having someone help her drown out the noise. Today she's stronger than before cancer. Better body composition. Blood work improving every check.
