    Pregnancy Diaries Part I – Nutrition & Supplements | Ep 162

    Everyone told me pregnancy meant wild cravings, constant nausea, and eating for two. Spoiler: almost none of that happened for me. In Part I of my Pregnancy Diaries, Yannick and I get honest about what my nutrition actually looked like, trimester by trimester, why I tracked, and the supplement stack I built six months before we even started trying. IN THIS EPISODE WE CHAT: What my first trimester actually looked like (and the one craving that caught me off guard)The "crazy cravings" story everyone repeats, and why I think it's coming from your feed, not your bodyHow I got through pregnancy with nausea only twice, and the small morning habit behind itThe uncomfortable truth about tracking during pregnancy (no, it's not about staying lean)Why I ignored the standard "just eat 500 more calories" advice, and what I trusted insteadThe multivitamin red flag hiding in most prenatals that I refuse to touchThe prep work I started 6 months before trying that changed the whole experience READY TO GO ALL IN AND BECOME YOUR STRONGEST, FITTEST, AND HOTTEST SELF? 🔥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Apply for Private 1-1 Female Physique Coaching →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Fully personalized training & nutrition, check-ins & weekly data reviews, video form feedback, and direct private coach access.

    If Eating Carbs Makes You Gain Weight, This One’s For You | Ep 161

    This week we're pulling apart why so many women gain weight the moment they add carbs back, what's actually water and glycogen (not fat), and the genuinely mind-boggling reason your beliefs about carbs might be changing how your body physically responds to them. If you've been scared of rice, this one's for you. IN THIS EPISODE WE CHAT: Why you can't touch your carbs without looking at the rest of your macros first (the step almost everyone skips)The three things that can happen when you add carbs back, and why only one of them is actually a problemThe "puffy and fluffy" feeling explained: what that water is really doing, and why it's making you look tighter, not softerWhy the scale creeping up for three to five days is completely normal, and the exact moment most women panic and undo all their progressThe study where people were lied to about their carbs, and how their blood sugar responded worse anyway (yes, from belief alone)The uncomfortable truth about how a decade of "carbs are bad" self-talk can quietly make you less carb tolerantThe client who swore she felt puffier after carbs, while her weight and biofeedback said the exact opposite READY TO GO ALL IN AND BECOME YOUR STRONGEST, FITTEST, AND HOTTEST SELF? 🔥 ⁠Apply for Private 1-1 Female Physique Coaching →⁠ Fully personalized training & nutrition, check-ins & weekly data reviews, video form feedback, and direct private coach access.

    How Leslie Tripled Her Carbs in 5 Months Without Gaining a Pound

    In this episode, I share a never before seen interview with Strong Babes Club member, Leslie. She went from fearing a single berry to eating hundreds more calories a day and barely moving the scale. It's the story of what happens when you stop starving yourself and start trusting the process. IN THIS EPISODE WE CHAT: The keto rabbit hole that took Leslie from feeling great to eating cans of tuna for lunch (and why she couldn't climb back out on her own)What happened when she added 700 calories a day back in, and the number on the scale that genuinely shocked herWhy she hadn't let herself eat a single berry in two years, and what her body did once she finally didThe one tool that turned "eat more carbs" from terrifying into a plan she could actually followThe "is this just vanity?" question she keeps wrestling with about wanting her best physique ever, and the answer that set her free READY TO GO ALL IN AND BECOME YOUR STRONGEST, FITTEST, AND HOTTEST SELF? 🔥 Apply for Private 1-1 Female Physique Coaching → Fully personalized training & nutrition, check-ins & weekly data reviews, video form feedback, and direct private coach access.

    Why The Weight On The Scale DOES Matter | Ep 169

    Two simple ways to get started below👇🏼 ⁠⁠⁠Build Your Personalized Nutrition Structure→ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Join the Waitlist for our next Sculpt Challenge→ "The weight on the scale doesn't matter to me." We hear it on almost every call now, usually in the same breath as a goal that absolutely requires it. This week we're pulling apart where that line came from, why the coaches repeating it can't tell you what number to shoot for, and what your smart scale is actually measuring. If you've been chasing recomp for two years with nothing to show, this one's for you. IN THIS EPISODE WE CHAT: Where "it's not about the number on the scale" actually came from (spoiler: it was a marketing decision, not a scientific one)What women do in the three seconds after they say a goal weightWhy "but I've gained so much muscle" is almost never true, and the maths that proves itWhat your smart scale is reporting, and why it belongs in the binThe four strength numbers that separate women who look like they lift from women who just trainWhy the strongest women we work with look leaner at a higher body weight than everyone elseThe fastest way to overcome the baggage that comes with stepping on the scale (and it isn't exposure therapy)

    5 Carb Mistakes Keeping You Soft (We See in Almost Every Woman) | Ep 168

    Two simple ways to get started below👇🏼 ⁠⁠Build Your Personalized Nutrition Structure→ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Join the Waitlist for our next Sculpt Challenge→ ⁠ You added carbs back in like everyone told you to, and somehow you feel softer, puffier, and more confused than before. Here's the uncomfortable truth: being pro carb doesn't mean anything goes. In this episode we're pulling apart the five carb mistakes we see in almost every woman who comes to us stuck, and why every single one of them is quietly keeping you from the definition you're chasing. WE CHAT: The carb source most women overdo the second they stop fearing carbs, and how it quietly changes your skin, your tightness, and the number on the scaleWhy the "yummy" foods you've been calling carbs are secretly fat bombs sitting at 25 to 30 grams of fat per 100gThe reason training hard five times a week still won't let you tolerate carbs if one specific number is too lowWhy obsessing over blood work, Dutch tests and CGM data feels productive but is actually keeping you softWhat Dragana spent years doing that she now spots instantly in women who message her stuckThe recovery mistake killing your gains more than anything else, and why 7 to 8 hours might not be enough for youThe bonus mistake that makes dialling in your carbs nearly impossible if you're only loosely tracking one macro

    The Exact Strategy To Tolerate More Carbs Again | Ep 167

    Two simple ways to get started below👇🏼 ⁠Build Your Personalized Nutrition Structure→ ⁠ ⁠Join the Waitlist for our next Sculpt Challenge→ You finally made peace with carbs and started eating more of them. Then the scale crept up, you felt puffy and tired, and you quietly cut them back out again. That backfire loop is exactly what we're breaking in this episode. We're handing you the three-part strategy to tolerate more carbs again, so your body actually uses them as fuel instead of storing them. IN THIS EPISODE WE CHAT: Why eating fewer carbs left me MORE puffy and inflamed, not less (my keto experiment went the opposite way to what everyone promised)The daily movement habit that decides whether your body uses carbs as fuel or stores them, and why a couch potato can't tolerate them no matter how "clean" she eatsThe 321 method, a stupidly simple weekly training structure that quietly builds a bigger tank for carbsWhat "nutrient partitioning" actually means, and why taking the long way to the bathroom matters more than you'd thinkThe meal timing switch that lets you eat the same carbs and tolerate them far better, usually within a week or twoThe dinner carb mistake almost every woman makes (and the simple swap that fixes it)How one client went from 80g to over 200g of carbs a day without gaining a single pound

    Cutting Carbs Is Making You Tired, Crave Sugar, and Your PMS Worse | Ep 166

    We’re pulling apart the low carb lie, where it actually came from, and why so many of the symptoms women pin on their hormones, their age, or their PCOS are often coming from the plate instead. If you've been cutting carbs and feeling worse, this one's for you. IN THIS EPISODE WE CHAT: The cyclical marketing trick that's repackaged the exact same low carb diet every decade since the 70s, under a shiny new name each timeWhy most women losing weight on keto are dropping it for a completely different reason than the one they've been soldThe "master fat storage hormone" myth that's been used to scare you off carbs, and what's actually happening in your body insteadDragana's lowest point: cold hands, a foggy brain that couldn't do simple maths, and the puffy, square body composition she has almost no photos ofThe green week "detox" that made Dragana quit her coach and runThe constant low-level scanning for a snack you'll recognize the second you hear it, and the three stress hormones quietly drive itWhy your PMS, cravings, sleep, and mood might shift faster from one change on your plate than from the fortune you're spending on supplements READY TO GO ALL IN AND BECOME YOUR STRONGEST, FITTEST, AND HOTTEST SELF? 🔥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Apply for Private 1-1 Female Physique Coaching →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Fully personalized training & nutrition, check-ins & weekly data reviews, video form feedback, and direct private coach access.
