    Ep 127- What a Day: A Bad Car Day, My Body, My Mindset, and What I'm Grateful For

    Send us Fan Mail Kat shares a “bad car day” that upended her carefully planned schedule when her car wouldn’t start after she dropped off her son’s baritone sax at school, causing hours of delays, rescheduled appointments, and missed client sessions. She explains how stress pushed her nervous system into fight-or-flight, shutting down hunger and digestion, and how relief and safety flipped her back into rest-and-digest, triggering sudden, intense hunger and irritability that spilled onto her husband when he arrived to help. She also unpacks the mental exhaustion of losing control, warns against all-or-nothing thinking that turns one derailed day into a lost week, and highlights practical responses: eat and rest to recover, control what you can, and adapt. Key takeaways include that “not hungry” can be stress, hunger can look like irritability or brain fog, eating on a rhythm helps, and gratitude can coexist with frustration.

    Ep 126: [BEST OF] The Messy Middle: Why Progress isn't pretty (and why that's the point)

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever started over on the same goal so many times you've lost count? Same commitment, same strong start, and then life happens. Motivation disappears, and the goal quietly gets shelved until Monday. That space between starting and arriving? That's not failure. That's the work. In this episode, Kat breaks down what she calls the messy middle, why it's so uncomfortable, why our culture of instant results is making it worse, and four honest, practical ways to get through it. No gadgets. No optimization hacks. Just the things that hold you when motivation doesn't show up. ☎️ Book a Fit Call: Let's Chat!  Resources mentioned Atomic Habits by James Clear — jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsKatFit Strength Online Coaching — kat.fitKatFit on Instagram — @KatFitStrength☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?

    Ep 125- Eat More, Build Muscle: A Sports Dietitian's Guide to Perimenopause Nutrition, Protein & GLP-1s

    Send us Fan Mail Kat welcomes Kristin Arnold, a board-certified sports dietician, cycling coach, and retired pro athlete, to discuss how women’s fueling needs and recovery shift in midlife and how to move past restriction-based diet culture. Kristin emphasizes noticing guilt/shame thought patterns, seeking credible evidence-based guidance, and balancing nourishment, performance, and pleasure with an “All Foods Fit” approach. They cover common midlife pitfalls like cutting calories due to body recomposition, how low energy availability can worsen sleep and stall training progress, and practical signs of under-fueling such as waking hungry at night, poor recovery, and plateaus. Kristin explains nutrient-dense vs energy-dense foods, recommends periodic tracking “check-ins” (including Cronometer), and shares strategies for GLP-1 users to protect lean mass by prioritizing protein, timing, and individualized meal structure. She highlights protein targets, habit stacking, and small, sustainable meal-prep changes.

    Ep 124- Midlife Stress: Science, Strategies, Thrive

    Send us Fan Mail Kat, host of MilesFromHerView, explains why stress often feels more intense after 40 and how it affects workouts, sleep, mood, and recovery. She breaks down the HPA axis and cortisol, clarifying that stress can help in short bursts but becomes harmful when chronically elevated. She notes that fluctuating and declining estrogen and progesterone in midlife can heighten the stress response. She describes common signs such as irritability, “tired but wired” nights, brain fog, cravings, belly fat, and slower recovery, and shares client examples in which adjusting workout timing, reducing high-intensity training, adding strength and recovery, and incorporating calming bedtime routines improved energy and mood. Kat offers practical, science-backed strategies, including active and passive recovery, consistent sleep and fueling, boundaries, small habit changes, mindfulness practices like box breathing and mindful walking, naming self-talk, and watching for red flags that may warrant rest, a reset, or professional support. 00:00 Why Stress Hits Harder 00:37 Show Welcome and Context 03:08 Midlife Stress Science 05:12 Hormones and Cortisol 07:12 Client Case Studies 09:27 Adjust Training and Recovery 09:38 Coaching Invite Break 10:21 Recovery Basics That Work 11:52 Small Habits and Routines 15:09 Mindfulness and Self Talk 17:05 Red Flags and Reset 18:27 Big Picture Takeaways 19:16 Wrap Up and Subscribe ☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?
