    #147 - 50+ Lbs Down In Menopause With Hashimoto’s - Elaine’s Story

    Welcome back to the Tandem Talk Show with Coach G — in this inspiring episode we welcome returning guest Elaine (previously featured on episode 138) to share the next chapter of her transformation. Elaine candidly walks through the major obstacles she faced before joining Tandem, including surgical menopause, a Hashimoto’s thyroid diagnosis, vitamin deficiencies, and a severe car accident that left her in a wheelchair for 10 weeks. Despite these hurdles, she describes how she lost over 50 pounds through Tandem’s coaching and structured programming. Coach G and Elaine discuss the phases of the program she completed — fat loss phases and the Metabolic Reset Phase (MRP) — and how MRP helped reignite her metabolism, increase calories strategically, build muscle, reduce hunger, and make the weight sustainable. Elaine credits Coach Gus for rebuilding her confidence and making exercise enjoyable, and she describes how movement, strength training, and better nutrition reshaped her body and life. The conversation covers practical changes that produced results: simple, trackable daily goals (calories, protein, water, steps), accessible workouts (starting from home and progressing to the gym), meal strategies and prep, and the mental shift from “living to eat” to “eating to live.” Elaine also reflects on the unexpected social and emotional benefits — new friendships, increased energy, improved cardiovascular fitness, and even signing up for a 10K. This episode offers encouragement and clear takeaways for listeners, especially women navigating menopause or thyroid issues who feel weight loss is impossible. Elaine emphasizes readiness, self-investment, following a coach, and small consistent steps. Coach G closes by inviting listeners to reach out to learn more about Tandem’s Metabolic Reset Program; you can contact Garrett at garrett@tandemnutrition.com for a free call to discuss goals and whether the program could be a fit.

    #146 - How Kathy Lost 30 lbs. While Still Eating Out and Without Stepping Foot in a Gym

    Join Coach g on the Tandem Talk Show as he interviews Kathy Baber, a solo-living nonprofit professional who lost over 30 pounds and six pant sizes through Tandem's Metabolic Reset Program. Kathy shares how she balanced real life — frequent dining out, a busy travel schedule, and holidays — with a sustainable plan that didn’t require a gym membership or extreme restriction. Topics covered include the role of accountability and coaching (Coach Lisa), practical tools Kathy used (Fitbit, food scale, walking pad, dumbbells), and how the Tandem app helped her track macros, calories, water, and particularly sodium — a key insight that reduced water retention and accelerated progress. Kathy also explains how she adapted meal plans, enjoyed favorites like protein-powered pancakes, and used the app to pre-log and balance indulgences like wine or treats around social events. The episode highlights the coaching support Kathy received (twice-weekly check-ins and restaurant-specific guidance), the non-cookie-cutter nature of the program, and the mental and emotional benefits of her transformation — from improved confidence and headshots to potential health improvements like lower cholesterol. Kathy offers advice for listeners on approaching the program with an open mind, asking questions, and using the app community for ongoing support. Expect practical tips for tracking while eating out, strategies for maintaining social life and progress through holidays, and inspiring evidence that steady, measured changes plus accountability can deliver big results without giving up the foods you love or living in a gym.
