    How to Fix Your Metabolism, Period Recovery, Muscle Gains & Metabolic Health

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into how eating more can be the secret to increasing metabolism, restoring your period, and building lean muscle—even if that feels counterintuitive at first. I’m answering some of your most thoughtful Instagram questions about period recovery timelines, calorie increases, navigating running during recovery, trusting your hunger, and what to do if you’re still feeling low energy even on higher calories. And in this week’s “What Would Marie Do?” segment, I’m breaking down a listener’s case study on muscle growth—what might be missing even if you’re training consistently and eating protein.   🚨 Program & Challenge Now Live! 🌟 Reset. Fuel & Thrive — My New Coaching Program Is Officially LIVE! I’ve launched a new 12-week nutrition coaching program to help you support your training with proper fuel, energy, and a metabolism that works with you, not against you.💛 It’s perfect if you’ve been training consistently but not seeing the changes you want — in strength, energy, or body composition. It’s especially for you if you feel stuck or like your progress isn’t reflecting your effort. 🌟 This is a limited, small group of women — so you'll get real support, attention, and accountability throughout. → You can still join the waitlist to be first in line for the next round: https://the-art-of-health.de/reset-fuel-thrive/   🎉 Pilates x Strength Challenge — Happening Now (April 25) on YouTube!

    How my client get from 1000 cal no period to 2500 cal and a regular cycle without gaining weight

    In this episode, I sit down with my client, Agnes, to talk about her incredible transformation from struggling with restrictive eating to finally feeling confident, fueled, and free around food. Agnes opens up about her past experiences with dieting, the challenges she faced with food anxiety and body image, and how she was able to shift her mindset, restore her energy, and improve her performance in training.   💬 We discuss: ✔️ How restriction and under-eating led to frustration and low energy ✔️ The turning point that made her realize she needed a new approach ✔️ What changes helped her regain food freedom while still progressing toward her goals ✔️ How fueling properly transformed her body, mindset, and training performance ✔️ Her advice for women struggling with food guilt, low energy, or missing periods This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt trapped in restrictive habits, worried about eating more, or struggled to balance nutrition with performance and well-being.   ✨ Join the Waitlist for My Upcoming Coaching Program! 🚀 If you resonated with this conversation and want support in your own journey, I’m opening a brand-new coaching program soon!
