Welcome to The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast — the show where sweat, sarcasm, and science collide. I’m Lindsey Petrangelo, APRN, CPT, and founder of InspireWellnessCo — a nurse practitioner with a passion for movement, gut health, hormones, and calling out the wellness industry’s bullshit (with humor, obviously). This podcast is for those who are sick of quick fixes, sick of confusion, and ready to finally understand their bodies. You’ll get the real talk about health, fitness, gut stuff, hormones, mindset, and all the “taboo” topics no one else wants to say out loud — delivered with equal parts evidence and inappropriateness. Whether we’re talking about poop, protein, or perimenopause, nothing’s off-limits here.  Expect stories, sarcasm, and strategies you can actually use to feel strong, confident, and human again — because being healthy doesn’t have to be boring, complicated, or perfect. Grab your coffee, crank the volume, and let’s make getting healthy fun again.

    🎙️ Results Without Hating Your Life

    🎙️ Results Without Hating Your LifeWhy waiting keeps you stuck — and why now actually works If getting healthy feels miserable, exhausting, or like a full-time job… this episode is for you. In this episode of The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast, Lindsey breaks down why so many well-intentioned health plans fail — not because you lack discipline, but because they require suffering to succeed. This conversation is about doing things differently.  About building consistency without punishment.  About getting results that actually last — without hating your life in the process. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to focus on your health, this episode will gently (but firmly) explain why waiting is keeping you stuck — and how starting imperfectly creates real momentum. 💥 Topics Covered: Why “waiting for the right time” backfiresThe psychology behind lasting changeWhy restriction, perfection, and all-or-nothing thinking failWhat actually works for real-life, busy humansHow structure builds freedom (not rigidity)What happens inside the 90-Day Vitality BlueprintClient proof: keeping wine + chocolate while losing inchesCommon fears: time, travel, motivation, past failuresWhy repeatable habits matter more than motivation🧠 The Takeaway: You don’t need more discipline.  You need a system your body can trust. Results come from consistency — not punishment. ☕ Coffee & Chaos Tip of the Week: Stop waiting for the version of you who has it all together. She doesn’t exist. Progress starts when you show up as you are.

    🎙️Don’t Waste the Damn Day Health, time, and why someday is not a strategy

    🎙️ Don’t Waste the Damn DayHealth, time, and the people who quietly change us #️⃣ #PregenzerStrong Some weeks don’t ask for productivity.  They ask for reflection. In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode of The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast, Lindsey steps away from macros and meal plans to talk about something bigger: time, presence, and living with intention. Inspired by the people who shape us simply by how they show up, this episode is a reminder that health isn’t just about living longer — it’s about living fully. About not postponing your goals, your joy, or your well-being for a “someday” that isn’t guaranteed. This is an episode about legacy without labels, loss without explanation, and strength that has nothing to do with muscle — and everything to do with character. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to take care of yourself, to pursue what matters, or to stop treating your life like a dress rehearsal… this one will hit you right in the chest. 💥 Topics Covered: The people who change us without ever tryingWhy presence matters more than perfectionHealth as a way to honor your time — not control your bodyThe danger of postponing goals and self-careWhy “I’ll do it later” is a lie we tell ourselvesWhat real strength actually looks likeHow to live more intentionally — starting nowThe meaning behind #PregenzerStrong🧠 The Takeaway: Your days matter.  Your health matters.  And how you show up — even in ordinary moments — has more impact than you realize. Don’t wait for someday.  Don’t waste the damn day. ☕ Coffee & Chaos Tip of the Week: Live with intention, not urgency. Take care of your body. Show up fully. And honor the time you’ve been given. #️⃣ #PregenzerStrong Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @inspirewellnessco 🌐 Visit my website: https://www.inspirewellnessco.mykajabi.com 💻 Ready to take the next step? ➡️ https://calendly.com/lindsey_inspirewellnessco/20min 📰 Want the inside scoop? ✨ Join my newsletter — You Might Wanna Know This ➡️ https://inspirewellnessco.mykajabi.com/pl/2148705216 Grab your coffee, laugh a little, and remember — kale can still kiss your ass. 💪 Stay strong, sweaty, and slightly inappropriate. ✨ Subscribe for weekly doses of sweat, sarcasm, and science.

    🎙️ New Year Energy Without New Year Bullsh*t

    🎙️ Episode: New Year Energy Without New Year Bullsh*tWhy you don’t need a reset — you need a system your body actually trusts If you’re heading into January thinking “I’ll just start over” — this episode is your permission slip to stop blowing everything up and start doing this differently. In this honest, slightly inappropriate, science-meets-real-life episode of The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast, Lindsey breaks down why January motivation fails, why perfection backfires, and what your body is actually responding to when progress feels hard. This episode goes beyond food and workouts and into something most people never talk about: body trust. Why your body resists change. Why restriction creates rebellion. Why your habits on hard days matter more than your motivated ones. If you’ve ever felt like your body is “working against you,” this episode will flip that belief on its head. 👉 Listen if: You’re tired of “starting over” every JanuaryYou eat well but still feel stuckYou spiral after imperfect daysYou want results without hating your lifeYou’re ready for a smarter, calmer approach to health💥 Topics Covered: Why “starting over” keeps you stuckThe 3-Point “I’m Not Starting Over” Plate (protein + fiber + color)Why perfection creates binge-restrict cyclesHow under-eating + stress confuse your bodyReal client proof: wine stayed, inches leftWhy clean eating isn’t workingThe weekend “leak” no one plans forThe missing piece no one teaches: body trust and nervous system safetyHow your habits on hard days shape your results🧠 The Big Takeaway: Your body doesn’t respond to promises or motivation — it responds to patterns.  Consistency builds trust.  Trust creates change. ☕ Coffee & Chaos Tip of the Week: You don’t need a reset. You need a repeatable system. Stop abandoning yourself when things aren’t perfect — that’s where real progress is built.
