    How to get a bigger butt and a smaller waist

    Can you build a bigger butt and a smaller waist? It’s a question I get all the time, because the hourglass is the shape so many of you are after. The short answer is yes, it’s possible, with a few caveats. Some of it you have a lot of control over, and some of it you don’t. In this episode I walk through both. I also cover the biggest mistake I see women make when they go after this shape, and I give you a clear plan for working toward it. What you’ll learn What’s set by your anatomy and what muscle can actually changeThe biggest mistake I see: piling on glute volume while eating too littleWhy being sore all the time isn’t proof you’re building muscleHow I structure training volume inside Stuck to Sculpted Why you can’t expect fast fat loss while eating enough to build muscle, and why that doesn’t mean you’ll stay stuckHow clients lose inches off their waist while eating moreWho might benefit from a slight surplus, and what to expect if you try oneHow long muscle takes to build The three-part plan: how to eat, how to train glutes and shoulders, and how to progressWhy you should stop prioritizing fat loss, and when a moderate deficit comes in ➡️ To learn about working with me, check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching. 📲 Follow me on Instagram.

    The fitness and nutrition trends I think are BS and why

    Today I’m pulling out my BS radar. Always a fun time. There is always a new trend, a new fad, a new “thing” — and most of them have just enough truth behind them to be convincing. That’s actually what makes them such effective marketing. A small, real kernel of truth gets amplified into a universal prescription, stripped of all nuance, and sold to women who are desperate for results. In this episode I’m calling out eight specific fitness and nutrition trends I don’t believe in — why they have the traction they do, what the research actually says, and what I’d suggest instead. I’m also sharing some personal accountability here, because some of these are things I’ve tried myself and had to change my mind on. What you’ll learn Why intermittent fasting “works” for weight loss — and why that has nothing to do with the fasting itselfWhy any diet that eliminates an entire food group produces results for the same reason every other diet does — and what it costs you in the processProxy tracking systems that overcomplicate calories and macros and simply get things wrong Why gluten and dairy elimination is mostly unnecessary for most women — and how to tell if you actually need itCarb cycling: who it’s actually designed for, why it’s not the average woman, and what consistency beats every timeThe fitness devices and accessories category: weighted vests, vibration plates, continuous glucose monitors — what the evidence actually supports and what’s just noveltyPerimenopause and cortisol supplements: the grain of truth, the massive overreach in marketing, and what the real solution to chronic stress actually looks likeGLP-1s and microdosing: not an anti-medication stance — but an honest conversation about what happens when you come off them and why the mental struggle is realAI-generated workout and nutrition plans: why AI is fundamentally biased toward you, the hypertrophy-to-cardio experiment I personally ran, and what a good coach does that AI simply cannot ➡️ To learn about working with me, check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching. 📲 Follow me on Instagram.

    The truth about perimenopause and fat loss

    Perimenopause is everywhere right now — in your Instagram feed, in supplement ads, in wellness content, in the mainstream media. And the message being marketed to women in their 40s is essentially this: your body is changing, the things that used to work don’t anymore, and you need special products and special protocols to navigate it. But actually, a lot of that is b******t. And in this episode I’m calling it out. This isn’t an episode that dismisses what’s real about perimenopause — the hormonal changes are real, and they do affect the environment in which you’re trying to lose fat and build muscle. But the fundamentals haven’t changed. And today I’m breaking down exactly what is and isn’t different, why women don’t need a specialized peri supplement stack or a specialized peri workout plan, and what actually works for body recomposition in this phase of life. What you’ll learn What perimenopause actually is — and why it’s not one universal experience Why estrogen doesn’t just steadily decline — and why the unpredictability of the early stages is what drives a lot of the symptoms women experienceWhat progesterone does and why its earlier decline matters for sleep, anxiety, and water retentionWhy not everything a woman experiences after 40 is perimenopause — and the lifestyle factors that are often the real culpritHow the perimenopausal environment affects cortisol regulation — and why this matters more than most fitness content acknowledgesWhy under-eating in perimenopause tends to make things worse, not better — and why aggressive restriction is especially counterproductive in this phaseWhat actually works: the specific approach to training, nutrition, and recovery I recommend — and why it’s not as complicated as the industry wants you to believeThe honest conversation about HIIT, alcohol, and sleep that most coaches skipWhy you don’t need a special perimenopause supplement, workout plan, or nutrition protocol — and how to spot the marketing designed to make you think you do ➡️ To learn about working with me, check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching. 📲 Follow me on Instagram.

    Enrollment for Stuck to Sculpted is open now. Apply at kassiebethfitness.com/coaching. Every year, the holidays go one of two ways. You either white-knuckle it through — staying in a deficit, saying no to everything, feeling guilty every time you slip — and still end up off track by Thanksgiving. Or you check out entirely because it's "that time of year" and January feels like a fresh start. What if there was a third option? One where you actually enjoyed the season, didn't feel guilty once, and came out the other side in a better position than when you started? That's exactly what I cover in this episode. October through December is my favorite season in Stuck to Sculpted — and in this episode I explain why, and how you can use the next three months as a building and priming phase that sets your body up for real, effective fat loss in 2027. What you'll learn How to use this season as a "priming phase" and what that actually involves How to treat Q4 as an intentional, strategic phase in your overall plan Why the holiday season is the best time to focus on building, and the worst time for a deficit (usually) Enrollment for Stuck to Sculpted is open now. Q4 is the best time to start — because this is almost certainly the phase your body needs first anyway.

    Doing more is costing you the body you want

    Please don't tune out when I say this, but a lot of you are doing too much. And it's actually costing you the body you want. Today's episode is about recovery — specifically, why the "more is more" approach that most women have been following since their twenties is working directly against them, especially as their hormones start to shift. The truth is that at some point, adding more workouts, more cardio, more steps, and more intensity stops producing additional results and starts taking them away. And learning to recognize that point — and pull back before you cross it — is one of the most important things you can do for your body composition right now. This is the episode that sounds counterintuitive and might just be exactly what you need to hear. What you'll learn Why my minimalist approach to my home, my business, and my life directly shaped my approach to fitness The point of diminishing returns in fitness: where adding more stops producing benefit and starts subtracting from your resultsWhy your body doesn't change during your workout — it changes after — and what that means for how often you should actually be trainingWhat a real rest day looks like Why advanced women fall into the trap of thinking they need more complicated, varied, or intense workouts to keep seeing results The sleep conversation and how to handle the early morning workouts How to keep your routine for your mental health without overdoing your training Why working for two competing goals makes recovery harder Why under-fueling on top of over-training creates a compounding stress effect that is working against you in every possible wayWhy this all becomes even more critical in perimenopause — and what changes about how your body handles stress, cortisol, and recovery as your hormones shift ➡️ To learn about working with me, check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching. 📲 Follow me on Instagram.

    Eight mistakes that are keeping your fat loss phase from working

    Women go into a calorie deficit and feel miserable. They don't see the results they expected — or they see no results at all. They either give up or white-knuckle through it and still end up frustrated and stuck. And most of the time, it's not that they're not trying hard enough. It's that they're making one or more of the mistakes I'm covering today. This episode is for you if you've ever attempted a fat loss phase and wondered why it didn't work the way it was supposed to, or if you're planning a fat loss phase in the future and want to make sure it's successful. I'm walking through the eight most common mistakes I see — from my own experience coaching real women through this. What you'll learn Why going into a deficit before your body is actually ready is the most common and most damaging mistake — and the TDEE calculator test you can do right now to find out if this is youWhy a deficit without a planned end date almost always ends in adaptation, adherence breakdown, or both — and what a properly time-bound fat loss phase actually looks likeWhy moderate is almost always better than aggressive when it comes to your calorie deficit — and the specific range I use with my clients.Why precision matters more in a fat loss phase than in any other phase — and the tracking habits that are quietly closing your energy gap without you realizing itThe carb-slashing mistake that produces fast scale results and slower actual fat loss — and what I do with macros instead when transitioning from maintenance into a deficitWhy a deficit is supposed to feel uncomfortable — and the practical strategies that make the discomfort manageable without abandoning the planWhy increasing your training volume during a fat loss phase is working against you — and what recovery actually requires when you're under-fueledThe GLP-1 culture problem: why the expectation of rapid weight loss is costing women the body they actually want ➡️ To learn about working with me, check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching. 📲 Follow me on Instagram.

    What does your body need next to actually start seeing results?

    You're lifting. You're tracking. You're getting your steps and hitting your protein. You're doing all the things. So why isn't your body changing the way you expected? Here's what I think is actually going on — and it might not be what you think. The problem isn't your consistency. For most of you, your consistency is actually better than you realize. The problem is your strategy. And more specifically: not having one that's actually designed for what your body needs right now. In this episode I'm breaking down why doing the right things and doing things right are two completely different things — and why the stitched-together "Frankenstein plan" most women are working off of is keeping them stuck no matter how hard they try. Free live training — register now If this episode felt like I was talking directly to you, I'm hosting a free live training called How to Finally Look Like You Work Out — specifically about the different phases your body actually needs to lose fat, build muscle, and get that visible definition, especially after 35.

    Supplements: What's worth it, what's just hype, and what to stop wasting money on

    Cortisol support. Hormone balance. Metabolism support. Debloat. Menopause belly. Natural GLP-1 support. Fat burners. Gut reset. Sound familiar? If you spend any time in the health and fitness space on social media, you are being sold something constantly — and the marketing has gotten very good at making you feel like you're one purchase away from fixing the thing that's been holding you back. This episode is my honest, no-BS breakdown of supplements specifically through the lens of body composition: is this [insert product] actually going to help you build muscle, lose fat, or meaningfully improve your body composition? I cover what's worth it, what's genuinely overhyped, and the filter I run every supplement through before spending a dollar on it. Note: nothing in this episode is medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional before adding supplements, especially if you take medications or have underlying health conditions. What you'll learn Why no supplement can compensate for not doing the foundational work, and the specific pattern I see with with women who are spending money on products before ever executing the basicsWhy the more complicated a supplement company makes the problem sound, the more likely you are to hand over your moneyProtein powder: what makes whey a complete protein, and what to look for in a plant-based optionCreatine monohydrate: the most well-researched performance supplement that exists — what it actually does, why women should stop being afraid of it, and the bloating question answered directlyPre-workout: what the performance effect is actually coming from, the timing issue that matters more than most women realize, and why more stimulant is not automatically betterAmino acids (BCAAs and EAAs): the honest answer on whether you actually need themVitamin D: the association vs. causation lesson that explains how one legitimate finding gets twisted into a fat-loss claimBerberine and the "natural GLP-1" trend: what the research actually shows, why calling it "nature's Ozempic" is one of the most irresponsible claims in the supplement space, and who it might actually be appropriate forFat burners and metabolism boosters: the full honest breakdown — including my direct take on where that money would be better spentCortisol support, debloat, hormone balance, and perimenopause blends: the marketing pattern behind all of these products, and the most important distinction — a supplement helping a symptom is not the same as a supplement causing fat lossThe five-question supplement filter I run before buying anything — including the one question that will save you more money than anything else in the episode ➡️ To learn about working with me, check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching. 📲 Follow me on Instagram.
