    Your Results Reflect Your Habits, Not Your Intentions

    In this episode, we talk about why you need to stop trying to skip steps in the body transformation process and start building the foundation for lasting results. We also discuss why staying physically capable as you age matters far more than aesthetics alone, how your daily behaviors shape the person you become, and why breaking old patterns requires you to take ownership of your identity. If you want lasting results, you have to stop looking for ways around the process and start learning how to work through it. We talk about: -you can’t change what you refuse to acknowledge -staying physically capable in your older years -busting the “getting bulky” myth -metabolic stagnation -the roll of protein and fiber -owning your new identity -having an objective point of view Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:55 you have to be in a calorie deficit 5:36 the importance of strength training 8:00 staying consistent for the long haul 12:50 how ofter should you work out? 18:04 you’re a consequence of your behaviors over time 21:25 avoiding unwanted influence and judgement 25:55 breaking the cycle CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Hosted on Acast.

    How to Stay on Track When Life Is Uncertain

    In this episode, we talk about owning your results and how to stay committed to your goals when life feels uncertain. We break down the truth about calorie deficits, why successful fat loss requires more than eating less, and how to recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We also explore the psychology behind lasting change, the importance of setting boundaries, and what it really means to practice self-love. Because building a strong body and a life you're proud of requires an investment of time, a willingness to challenge yourself, and the confidence to keep moving forward even when your circumstances aren't perfect. We talk about: -what to expect with fat loss -the truth about calorie deficits -Minnesota starvation experiment -losing muscle tissue -tracking your macros -paying with time -skipping breakfast -challenging yourself to be your best -walking through life with confidence Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 6:56 calorie deficits that are successful 12:55 eating as much as possible and still losing weight 19:53 what to do when you “get off track” 23:00 you have to earn a strong body 26:35 real change happens with psychology 32:18 examine your eating patterns 37:45 setting boundaries 44:00 true self-love 47:16 regaining your time CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Hosted on Acast.

    How to Stop Losing and Regaining the Same Weight

    In this episode, we take a deep dive into the four-phase approach to body transformation and why women over 40 may benefit from thinking beyond a single, continuous fat-loss phase. If you’ve spent years losing weight, regaining it, and starting over, the answer may not be another diet or a more aggressive plan. We break down why approaching transformation in phases can make the process simpler, more sustainable, and more adaptable to real life. We also discuss why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck, how muscle loss can become a concern with weight-loss interventions, why fasting isn't always the answer, and why the ultimate goal should be to develop the skills and confidence to maintain your results without constantly needing another plan. We talk about: -simplicity equals success -why fasting usually fails -muscle loss with GLP-1s -you train people how to treat you -all-or-nothing is causing you to fail -life doesn’t care about your plans Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 5:55 why phases are better 12:48 the 2-week fall of pattern 16:02 starting with fat loss 22:40 setting and holding boundaries 24:30 getting as strong as humanly possible 32:04 good enough is actually good enough 36:46 weigh maintenance versus weight loss 40:46 mobility and hip fractures 48:48 your goal is to not need us CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Hosted on Acast.

    What Gets Your Attention Gets Your Life

    In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to be successful with a body transformation, and why your attention may be one of your most valuable resources. Instead of trying to overhaul your entire life at once, we break down why adding one commitment at a time, mastering it, and then building from there can create lasting change. We also talk about habit stacking, learning through application, solving obstacles as they come up, and recognizing where your attention is being pulled. Ultimately, transformation isn't about finding the perfect circumstances. It's about learning to take responsibility for your choices, asking for help when you need it, and intentionally deciding what deserves your attention. We talk about: -habit stacking actually works -adding one commitment and mastering it -pay attention to what gets your attention -asking for help and setting boundaries -your circumstances don’t change your responsibilities  Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 3:00 being successful with a new habit 11:58 implementing one strategy at a time 21:15 solving new obstacles as you go 28:45 learning is application  31:21 who is a good fit with our program  37:36 knowing where your attention should go CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Hosted on Acast.

    We Answer Your Questions BMI, Supplements, Protein, HRT & More

    In this episode, we’re sharing a live Q&A where we cover a little bit of everything, from health versus aesthetics and whether BMI is actually useful, to supplements, protein, HRT, alcohol, and building muscle. We dig into some of the questions that come up all the time, including whether you can lose weight too quickly, how to break through a plateau, whether one meal a day makes sense, and what actually matters when it comes to metabolic health. We also talk about exercising through injuries, finding movement you genuinely enjoy, progressing with a home gym, and why strength training deserves a place in your long-term health strategy. As always, we’re less interested in quick answers and more interested in understanding the context behind the question and what actually moves the needle. We talk about: -is BMI actually BS? -going off plan over the weekend -setting a protein goal -eating before bed -HRT in perimenopause -loosing weight too fast -is one meal a day a good strategy? Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 2:00 is BM actually BS? 5:30 is NMN worth taking? 7:45 nutritional requirements after bariatric surgery 13:22 strength training versus cardio 16:40 finding exercise you enjoy 20:05 breaking through plateaus 27:35 working through injuries 30:06 alcohol and body transformation 35:55 building muscle at maintenance calories 40:46 metabolic age and visceral fat 47:46 tracking zero sugar drinks 51:45 progressing with a home gym CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Hosted on Acast.

    Social Media is Manipulating You

    In this episode, we riff on some of the biggest ideas shaping the way we think, behave, and make decisions, and see where the conversation takes us. We dig into the manipulative side of social media, how constant exposure to other people's opinions can lower our standards, and why it's important to understand why you believe what you believe. We also explore the real-life consequences of spending too much time online, why you can't win an argument with the internet, and the idea that you ultimately get what you choose. This is a conversation about becoming more intentional with what you consume, what you pursue, and who you're becoming in the process. We talk about: -the manipulative aspect of social media -lowering the bar -knowing why you believe what you believe -real life consequences of social media -you get what you choose Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 3:00 how social media shapes your thoughts 10:45 you can’t win an internet argument 14:45 bots on social media 17:15 understanding what you find fulfilling 23:10 research on lottery winners & cancer survivors 26:40 becoming through achieving CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Hosted on Acast.
