    Episode 103: Can you trust the calories on your watch?

    In this chat, I talk about smart devices—things like fitness trackers, Fitbits, Garmins, and my personal fave, the Apple Watch—and how they measure calorie burn and energy expenditure.  Spoiler: they’re not super accurate when it comes to calorie tracking. I break down why that is, and more importantly, how you can still use the data in a helpful way without getting too caught up in the exact numbers.  It’s all about understanding the limits of the tech while still making the most of what it can do for your health and fitness goals.

    Episode 102: Will creatine make you bald?

    I get asked about this all the time—does creatine cause hair loss? So I thought I’d clear the air. There’s one study people always point to where they saw an increase in DHT levels (a hormone linked to hair loss) in guys taking creatine. But here’s the thing—just because something is statistically significant doesn’t mean it actually makes a difference in the real world. That’s a super important distinction. Also, a lot of the fear around this comes from seeing bodybuilders who take creatine and also happen to lose their hair. But they’re often using a lot of other stuff too, which muddies the waters completely. Bottom line? There’s no solid evidence that creatine causes hair loss. I wouldn’t avoid it just because of that one shaky link.

    Episode 101: Do you need a preworkout?

    In this episode, I’m diving into the world of pre-workout supplements—because let’s be honest, it’s a jungle out there. I break down what’s actually in them (caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine), what those ingredients really do, and how much you actually need.  I also chat through who might benefit from a pre-workout, and who probably doesn’t need to spend the money.  Spoiler alert: it’s not essential for everyone.  And like always, I remind you that no supplement can outdo solid nutrition. Pre-workouts can be helpful, sure—but they’re not magic.  So if you’re gonna use them, use them smart.

    Episode 100: How Much Protein is Too Much?

    In this episode, I chat about the difference between getting enough protein and getting the right amount for you.  I break down why those standard government guidelines around protein might keep you out of deficiency, sure—but they’re not necessarily helping you feel your best, especially if your goals include things like holding onto muscle, managing your appetite, or just having more energy day-to-day. I also touch on how your ideal protein intake depends on your body and your goals—it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all thing. And while I’m all for people getting enough protein, I also think we need to chill out a bit with the obsession over it.  Not every snack needs to be packed with protein powder.  So in short: more protein might help, but it’s all about balance.

    Episode 99: Are Fake Meats Healthy?

    In this conversation, I dive into the whole fake meat thing—what’s actually in them, how they stack up nutritionally, and why some of the hype (both good and bad) doesn’t always hold up.  A lot of people assume fake meats are automatically healthier than the real deal, but it’s not that simple.  I talk through the differences between products, what to look out for on the label, and some of the sneaky stuff no one really talks about.

    Episode 98: Food Wastage & Weight Loss

    In this chat, I talk about how food waste can actually mess with your weight loss goals.  You know those times you finish your kids’ meals or eat the scraps left on the table? Yeah, that stuff adds up and can totally slow down your progress.  I get it—it feels wasteful to throw food out. But here’s the thing: eating extra calories your body doesn’t need is just as wasteful, if not more.

    Episode 97: A Better Way to Lose Weight

    In this episode, I talk about a different way to approach weight loss—by breaking it up into manageable phases.  I explain why having clear targets and deadlines can actually boost motivation and help you stay on track.  And instead of pushing non-stop, I’m a big fan of taking breaks and practicing maintenance along the way.  Time Stamps: 00:00 Rethinking Weight Loss Goals 02:53 The Importance of Defined Targets 06:08 Breaking Up the Weight Loss Journey Click me for show notes!

    Episode 96: Hunger & Weight Loss

    In this chat, I’m diving into the messy, often confusing world of hunger—especially when you’re trying to lose weight.  I talk about how hunger is totally normal during a diet and why it’s so important to actually understand it, not just try to ignore or fight it.  I share some down-to-earth strategies to manage hunger, from tweaking meal timing and what’s on your plate, to looking at how things like poor sleep or your menstrual cycle can mess with your hunger levels.
