    Why You’re Not Losing Weight: Thyroid, Weight Loss Resistance & What Actually Works (Coaches Chat Ep. 1)

    What happens when two nutrition coaches sit down with no real agenda and start talking about what they’re actually seeing with their clients? Welcome to the first Coaches Chat. In this episode, I’m joined by Coach Gretchen for an honest conversation about some of the biggest challenges we’re seeing right now with women’s health and weight loss, from sluggish thyroid function and frustrating weight loss resistance to the behavioral patterns that can quietly keep someone stuck. We start by digging into thyroid health, including some of the symptoms that make us want to take a closer look at a client’s labs, why a basic thyroid panel may not always give you the full picture, and our experiences working with women who seem to be doing everything “right” but still aren’t seeing their body respond the way they expect. From there, we talk about why I’ve been experimenting more with carb cycling and lower-carb days for certain weight-loss-resistant clients, why I completely changed my opinion on giving clients meal plans, and why sometimes simplifying someone’s nutrition is far more valuable than giving them more information This episode is especially for you if you feel like you’re already doing a lot of the “right” things but your body still isn’t responding. Resources & Next Steps If you’re feeling stuck and want help applying these concepts to your real life, I currently have limited spots open for one-on-one nutrition and fitness coaching. You can apply for a no-pressure nutrition and fitness consult using the link below. This call is simply a chance for us to talk through your goals, your challenges, and whether coaching would actually make sense for you. http://builtbybalancefitness.com/book-a-call Follow Coach Gretchen @root.cause.care on Instagram Follow me on Instagram @builtbybalance_iman and email your feedback to iman@builtbybalancefitness.com

    Stop Trying to Motivate Yourself. Do this Instead.

    In this short, off-the-cuff episode, I’m sharing the story of one of our clients, “Amanda,” who had been making incredible progress before several stressful life changes completely knocked her out of her routine. When she found herself so overwhelmed that she couldn’t get herself to do anything, we stopped worrying about finding motivation and focused on something much more useful.

    Why You Keep Starting Over With Weight Loss (Even Though You Know What to Do)

    You know protein matters. You know you should strength train, walk more, eat mostly whole foods, and stay consistent. So why do you keep finding yourself saying, “Okay, Monday I’m getting serious again”? In this episode, I’m breaking down why knowing what to do isn’t always enough, and why constantly starting over may actually be the thing keeping you stuck.

    How Your Relationship Impacts Your Weight Loss Journey with Tara Gogolinski, LMFT

    In this episode, I’m joined by Tara Gogolinski, a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience working with couples. We’re talking about something that comes up constantly with women on a health journey: how your relationship, home life, communication patterns, and ability to ask for support can directly impact your ability to take care of yourself. If you feel like the default parent, the default planner, the default person responsible for everything at home, this conversation will hit home. Tara explains how those patterns develop, why resentment builds, how to communicate your needs more effectively, and why emotional safety matters so much in a healthy relationship. We also talk about what it looks like to ask your partner for support when you want to invest in your health, why so many women struggle to give themselves permission to take up space, and how improving your physical health can shift how you show up in your relationship.

    8 “Healthy” Habits Slowing Down Your Weight Loss

    You’re working out. You’re eating healthy. You’re trying to make the right choices. So why isn’t the scale moving? In this episode of The Mindset Diet, I break down eight “healthy” habits that may look good on paper but could actually be slowing down your weight loss progress. From under-eating protein to relying on supplements, overdoing cardio-style workouts, cutting carbs, and walking into the week without a food plan, this episode will help you spot the hidden gaps in your routine and understand what to do instead. This episode is especially for the woman who feels like she is doing everything right but still not seeing results. Work with us: Inside the Built By Balance program, we do not just ask, “Are you eating healthy?” or “Are you working out?” We look at the full picture: your protein, calories, meal structure, workouts, stress, sleep, recovery, hormones, lifestyle, and the specific constraints that may be keeping your body from responding. You do not need another random diet, free workout plan, or trendy recipe. You need clarity on what is actually holding you back and a plan to fix it.

    The Harsh Reason Why You’re Not at Your Goal

    In this episode, I am giving some tough love around a pattern I see all the time: women who say they want to lose weight, improve their metabolism, and finally feel good in their bodies, but when they are told they may need to eat more, train differently, manage stress, sleep more, or stop pushing harder, they resist it. They keep doing a slightly modified version of what has already kept them stuck, then wonder why nothing changes. I also break down the psychology behind this resistance, including confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and cognitive dissonance, and I share a personal example of how I once ignored advice from my own coach because it challenged the way I saw myself. Ready for support? If you are afraid to take the right next step because it feels counterintuitive or scary, that is exactly what coaching is for. I currently have one spot open on my one-on-one roster.

    You're Probably Not Lifting Heavy Enough

    In this episode of The Mindset Diet, I’m talking about one of the biggest mistakes I see women making with their workouts: lifting weights that are too light to actually create change. After chatting with women who requested my free 3-day strength training program, I noticed a common pattern. Many women are working out from home, but only have access to very light dumbbells, like 5-pound weights or hand weights. While that can be a fine starting point if you’re brand new to lifting, it usually isn’t enough long-term if your goal is to build muscle, tone up, improve your metabolism, and support fat loss. This episode is a short, off-the-cuff conversation about what it actually takes to send your body a strong enough muscle-building signal and why that matters whether your goal is fat loss, toning, metabolism, bone health, or feeling stronger in your body.  Resources & Next Steps If you’re feeling stuck and want help applying these concepts to your real life, I currently have limited spots open for one-on-one nutrition and fitness coaching.
