    How You Could Be Losing Fat Even If the Scale Is Going Up | Ep 266

    Grab my FREE "DIET BREAK" Blueprint for a step by step guide to using diet breaks to speed up fat loss -> https://ithrivenutrition.myflodesk.com/diet-break-blueprint What if the scale is staying the same, or even going up, but you’re still losing body fat? In this episode, I break down the surprising difference between how much energy is stored in muscle versus fat, why rapid weight loss isn’t always a good sign, and how lifting weights and eating enough protein can completely change what you see on the scale. If you’ve been making progress but feeling frustrated by the number, this episode may change how you look at it.

    At 48 Years Old, She’s Now Leaner & Stronger Than She Was in College | Ep 265

    After years of trying extreme diets, endless cardio, and doing everything she thought she was “supposed” to do, Allison was frustrated, uncomfortable in her clothes, and starting to wonder if gaining weight and feeling worse was simply part of getting older. In this episode, Allison shares what finally changed after she stopped trying to figure everything out alone. We talk about losing 20 pounds, building more muscle than she had even in high school, navigating perimenopause, and learning to trust progress even when the scale moves painfully slowly. We also get into why her approach has felt surprisingly manageable—three lifting sessions per week, a step goal, more food than she expected, and planned breaks from dieting. Allison opens up about the mental side of the process, why progress pictures helped her stop obsessing over the scale, and how having a coach in her corner kept her from giving up when she couldn’t see the bigger picture herself. This is a really honest conversation about patience, strength, sustainable fat loss, and realizing that getting older doesn’t mean you have to settle for feeling unlike yourself.

    How Meredith Lost 40 Pounds Postpartum & Is Now Thriving 7 Months Pregnant With Coaching | Ep 260

    In this episode, I sit down with my client Meredith to talk about her journey through coaching over the past year and a half. She joined a few months postpartum, lost 40 pounds, and then, about nine months into coaching, found out she was pregnant. Instead of putting healthy habits on hold, we shifted our focus and spent the next seven months supporting a healthy pregnancy, appropriate weight gain, and helping her feel her best every step of the way. We talk about what changed compared to her first pregnancy, the habits that made the biggest difference, and why taking care of your health before and during pregnancy can have such a huge impact. Whether you're postpartum, trying to lose weight, pregnant, or just looking for a realistic approach to building healthy habits, I think you'll get a lot out of Meredith's story.

    3 Fat Loss Lessons YOU Can Learn From My Upcoming Hernia Surgery | Ep 259

    In today's episode, I'm sharing three lessons I've learned over the past couple of weeks after finding out I have an inguinal hernia and preparing for surgery. This experience has definitely changed the way I've been thinking about health and fitness, and honestly, I think these lessons apply to all of us—whether you're trying to lose weight, build muscle, or just take better care of yourself. I talk about: Why taking care of your body now matters more than you realize.How quickly you realize what a gift it is to move your body when that ability is suddenly limited.Why it's so important to keep showing up, even when progress isn't guaranteed or you're simply trying to maintain what you've built. If you've ever felt frustrated that your progress has slowed, life has thrown you a curveball, or you've been struggling to stay motivated, I think this conversation will give you a different perspective. I hope these lessons encourage you to appreciate what your body can do today and remind you that sometimes the biggest wins come from simply continuing to show up.
