    Real Talk About Midlife with Marcella Hill

    In this episode, I’m talking with Marcella Hill about the stuff a lot of women are dealing with… but way too many of us are still whispering about: perimenopause, libido, mood, hormones, and what actually helps. Marcella shares her personal story—how low libido and mental health struggles became a wake-up call, and how hormone therapy ended up being a turning point. We get into the stigma (why women are taught to keep this quiet), what it looks like to find a provider who takes you seriously, and how social media can mess with your perception of your body and what “normal” is supposed to feel like. We also talk about the Balance docu-series and why education matters so much when it comes to hormone therapy—because the misinformation is loud, and it keeps women stuck. If you’ve ever thought, “Something feels off… but I don’t know what to do next,” this episode is for you. Marcella’s message is simple: trust your instincts, advocate for yourself, and don’t put your well-being last.

    What I've Changed My Mind About in My 10 Years As a Nutrition Coach

    After nearly a decade of coaching, Kylie Larson has changed her mind about a lot—and in this episode, she explains why. She unpacks how her views on nutrition, cardio, maintenance, and fat loss have evolved, and why personalized approaches matter more than ever, especially in midlife. This episode explores training intensity, adapting to life’s curveballs, and the often-overlooked power of maintenance and reverse dieting. Kylie also speaks to the importance of community, support, and trusting your lived experience—because growth isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing better.

    The BEST Way to Start 2026

She explores why big, rigid goals often backfire and why simplicity, sustainability, and self-honesty matter more than motivation ever will. This conversation is about adjusting expectations, building habits you can actually keep, and letting progress be imperfect (and still powerful). If you’re tired of doing the most and ready to do what actually works—with more compassion and a lot less pressure—this episode is for you.

    2025 Reflections & Lessons

    Six years into this podcast and if I’ve learned anything, it’s this: you don’t wait until you feel ready — you start, you stumble, you cringe a little… and you keep going anyway. This year handed me some lessons I did not ask for. It stretched me, stripped me, shook things loose, and forced me to grow in ways I probably would’ve avoided if given the choice. I had to let go of what wasn’t working — in my business, in my habits, in my own mind — so I could make space for what’s next. I also had to change how I coach. Not because the old way was wrong, but because we’ve evolved. You’ve evolved. I’ve evolved. And supporting women in midlife means adapting right along with you. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the bright spots, the breakthroughs, and the “okay… I guess this is where we are now” moments. Life, business, hormones — everything is always shifting. But so are we. Here’s to new beginnings, cleaner slates, softer landings, and the community that makes all of this feel a little less lonely. Give it a listen and let me know what your biggest bright spot of the year has been.

    Midlife Isn’t the Problem—Missing Information Is with Laini Gray

    In this episode of Far From Perfect, I sit down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Lainey Gray to talk about something so many women feel but can’t quite name: midlife isn’t the problem—the lack of information is. Lainey shares her journey from personal trainer to functional nutrition expert and breaks down why understanding your hormones, stress load, and nutritional needs is the key to finally feeling like yourself again. We dive into the power of comprehensive testing, simple lifestyle shifts that actually matter, the role HRT can play, and why advocating for your own health is non-negotiable in perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling dismissed…If you’ve ever been told “that’s just aging”…If you’ve ever thought, “something feels off, but I can’t get answers”… This conversation will feel like a giant exhale. Midlife doesn’t have to feel confusing, chaotic, or out of control. Once you have the right information, you can rebuild your energy, your joy, and your confidence—one empowered decision at a time.

Krista shares why working with a professional matters and offers simple, effective ways to start resetting your system. This one’s a must-listen if you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of restriction, frustration, and gut issues.

    Why I Started Tracking My Macros Again

    In this episode, I share why I decided to start logging my food again after a long stretch in maintenance. Not from a place of restriction — but awareness. I talk about noticing shifts in my training motivation, how consistent eating affects my energy levels, and why tracking macros is less about perfection and more about curiosity. I also touch on the role of self-monitoring, small healthy habits, and even how sleep and “fun” fit into the bigger wellness picture. If you’ve been feeling a little off or wondering where your energy’s going, try logging your food for a few days — you might be surprised by what you learn. And if you need a little guidance, I’m here to help.

    When To Call It Quits On Fat Loss

    In this episode, I break down one of the trickiest parts of a fat loss phase—knowing when it’s time to call it. We talk about how to use biofeedback (energy, hunger, mood, sleep, and life stress) to guide your decisions instead of just relying on the scale. I also share why shifting goals means your nutrition needs to shift, too—and how consistency with tracking helps you see the full picture. If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I keep going or move into maintenance?”—this episode’s for you. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Fat Loss Phases 01:28 Understanding When to End a Fat Loss Phase 03:21 Biofeedback: Key Indicators for Ending a Phase 07:09 The Role of Hunger and Energy Levels 12:20 Life Circumstances and Their Impact on Fat Loss 16:11 Changing Goals and Their Nutritional Needs 18:33 Consistency and Macro Tracking
