The Kate Hamilton Podcast

Kate Hamilton

Conversations on health, business and becoming. This podcast mirrors my own personal growth. Fitness changed my life. It taught me discipline, helped me believe in myself, and quietly opened the door to the most exciting journey of personal development I never knew I was on. I'm still deeply passionate about health and fitness — that part of me isn't going anywhere. But it's time to bring my love of business, personal development, and the inner work of becoming to the forefront. Because the truth is, they were never separate. The woman who shows up for her training is the same woman who builds the business, leads the family, and learns to come home to herself. Each week, I'll share solo episodes drawn from my qualifications, my coaching experience, and my own lived journey — alongside conversations with guests who've shaped how I think, train, work, and live. This is a space for the woman who's done chasing the next version of herself and ready to start connecting with who she already is. Stop chasing. Start connecting. New episodes weekly. Hosted by Kate Hamilton — former primary school teacher, mother of three, fitness & nutrition coach, health coach, business queen and founder of NourisHer and LeadHer. Subscribe so you don't miss a new episode. And if today's conversation landed, come find me on Instagram @katehamiltonhealth — I'd love to hear what resonated.

    #168 - Why I Renamed the Show — And My Journey from Teacher to NourisHer and LeadHer

    After 167 episodes, the Kate Hamilton Health Podcast has a new name — and in this solo episode, I'm telling you exactly why. This isn't just a rebrand. My world has expanded into personal development, business, and leadership, and I want this podcast to reflect that. So welcome to The Kate Hamilton Podcast. I also go right back to the beginning — the full story from qualifying as a primary school teacher in 2007, discovering fitness, finding clarity during COVID, completing my Precision Nutrition qualification, and eventually resigning my permanent teaching post to go all in on what is now NourisHer Coaching. I get into what actually moved the needle, and I introduce LeadHer — my business mentorship for women. Anti-hustle, application-only, and built for women who are ready to build something sustainable and profitable. This is a longer one, but I hope it gives you the full picture of where I've been, where I am, and where we're both headed.

    #167 - Why Eating Fat Won't Make You Fat: Healthy Fats, Hormones, and the Truth About Omega-3s

    Fat got demonised by diet culture for decades, and so many of us still carry that fear around — but eating fat won't make you fat. In this episode, I'm clearing up one of the biggest myths going and showing you why fat is an essential part of eating well, not the enemy. I get into why fat actually matters for sustainable fat loss, steady energy, and balanced hormones — and why going too low-fat can leave you tired, hungry, and dealing with hormonal symptoms you might not have connected to your plate. I'll walk you through the different types of fat (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6, saturated, and trans), and the six jobs your body relies on healthy fats to do, from absorbing your fat-soluble vitamins to building your hormones. Then we get practical: the fats worth prioritising (olive oil, avocado, oily fish, nuts, and seeds), how to fix your omega-3 to omega-6 balance, where saturated fat fits in, the trans fats to leave on the shelf, and roughly how much fat to aim for in a day. I've popped in some real meal examples too, so you can see exactly what this looks like on a plate. If you've been quietly afraid of fat, this one's for you. There is no wagon — just real food doing real work in your body. 00:00 Fat Myth Debunked 01:30 Why Fat Is Essential 02:20 What Fats Are Made Of 03:36 Six Jobs of Fat 07:24 Fats Keep You Full 09:23 Healthy Fats List 12:07 Omega Ratio Fix 16:37 Saturated Fat Guidelines 21:20 Trans Fats to Avoid 24:06 50g Fat Day Example 25:17 Key Takeaways Recap 26:48 Wrap Up and Coaching Links & Resources: Apply for LeadHer business mentorship here Learn more about NourisHer coaching here Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #166 - Sleep: The Foundation Habit Nobody Wants to Prioritise (But Should)

    Sleep is the habit most people know is important — but very few actually do anything about it. In this episode, I'm breaking down why your sleep is the foundation of fat loss, mood, willpower, and long-term health, and giving you a simple action plan you can start tonight.

    #165 - The Truth About Carbs: Fuel, Fibre & How to Choose Better

    Carbs have had a seriously bad press — but the science tells a very different story. In this episode, I'm cutting through the noise and giving you the real facts about carbohydrates, why your body needs them, and how to choose the ones that actually work for you. I cover why carbs don't cause fat gain, why rapid weight loss on low-carb diets is mostly water (not fat), and why when calories and protein are matched, there's no meaningful fat-loss advantage to cutting carbs. I also break down the three types of carbs — sugars, starches, and fibre — explain why fruit sugar is nothing like sweets sugar, and get into why fibre is honestly one of the most underrated tools for your health. We're talking gut microbiome, blood sugar, satiety, heart health, and digestion. I'll give you the targets to aim for and how to build up gradually without the bloat. And we finish with simple, practical swaps — what to prioritise, what to limit, and how an 80/20 approach makes this genuinely sustainable. No fear, no restriction. Just the facts.

    #164 - Win the Weekend: My 15 Tips to Stop Undoing Your Hard Work in Two Days

    If your Saturday and Sunday keep undoing the hard work you've put in Monday to Friday, this episode is for you. I'm re-recording my "Winning the Weekend" episode because so much has changed — particularly with AI — and I wanted to share a fresher, more practical perspective. Studies show people consume around 500 extra calories per day at the weekend — roughly 1,000 extra calories that can quietly bring you out of a deficit, leaving you feeling like you're trying so hard and getting nowhere. The good news? Winning the weekend doesn't mean restriction or skipping social occasions — just a little forward planning so you can actually relax and enjoy yourself. In this episode, I share my updated 15 practical tips for winning the weekend without sacrificing your social life — from banking calories and using AI to eat out with confidence, to drinking strategies, prep tips, and the one question to ask before every decision. Winning the weekend isn't about being perfect — it's about having a plan, being consistent, and enjoying your life without undoing your progress. 00:00 — Welcome & why winning the weekend matters 02:37 — Planning equals power 03:28 — Tip 1: Think weekly, not daily 07:34 — Tip 2: Plan ahead and do it now 08:32 — Tip 3: Pre-log the night before 11:09 — Tip 4: Check the menu in advance 12:21 — Tip 5: Use AI to guesstimate calories 15:24 — Tip 6: Dessert hack & the "safety Freddo" 17:42 — Tip 7: Plan and track your drinks 19:03 — Tip 8: Prep food for the day after 19:49 — Tip 9: Don't be an ostrich — track it 22:07 — Tip 10: Keep normal habits up to your occasion 23:29 — Tip 11: Bring prepped food on busy days 27:02 — Tip 12: Boost your steps and NEAT 28:08 — Tip 13: Weekly journaling and reflection 29:50 — Tip 14: Drop the guilt, choose intentionally 31:16 — Tip 15: The danger is in the dose 33:13 — Recap & final thoughts Links & Resources: Learn more about KHH coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #163 - Protein 101: How Much You Actually Need, Where to Get It & the Myths to Ignore

    If there's one nutrient I wish every woman I coach would pay more attention to, it's protein. Most of you aren't getting nearly enough — and it shows up as constant hunger, energy dips, cravings, poor recovery, and stalled progress. In this episode, I break protein down properly — no fluff, just what you need to know. We cover why protein is a game-changer for women, especially in midlife: satiety, muscle building and preservation (huge if you're in a deficit or on a GLP-1), bone health, steadier blood sugar, and easier long-term weight maintenance. I'll explain how much you actually need, why 1.6 g/kg is where the real benefits kick in, and how to spread it across your meals using my go-to palm-portion method. We also get into the best sources, my honest take on powders, bars, and all the "high protein" marketing, plus timing and whether you can have too much. Grab a cuppa and settle in. 00:00 Protein Episode Kickoff 00:49 Why Most Eat Too Little 02:20 Protein Benefits Breakdown 03:25 Muscle Loss And Aging 06:35 Metabolism And Heart Health 08:27 Fat Loss Study Proof 11:41 Daily Protein Targets 14:17 Hand Portion Shortcut 16:15 Best Protein Food Sources 22:40 Supplements And Powders 24:44 Animal Vs Plant Facts 25:30 Balanced Diet Philosophy 26:32 Plant Based Protein Basics 28:29 Vegetarian Meal Strategy 29:30 Protein Product Marketing 31:08 Skip Protein Snacks 32:13 Protein Bars And Treats 35:58 How Much Is Too Much 37:51 Digestive And Energy Risks 41:24 Protein Timing And Meals 45:40 Recap And Next Steps Links & Resources: Learn more about KHH coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #162 - How to Set Goals That Actually Stick: Dream Big, Start Small and Stay Consistent

    If you've ever set a goal and wondered why it didn't stick — or felt guilty for wanting more when you're trying to be present and grateful — this episode is for you. I'm diving into why goals matter, how to make them feel truly yours, and the exact process I use to reverse engineer a big vision into the daily habits that actually move you forward. We also talk about one of my favourite mindset shifts: the gap versus the gain. Instead of measuring how far you have to go, we start measuring how far you've already come — and it changes everything. In this episode: Why goals matter for direction, purpose and progress How to tie your goals to a "why" that genuinely motivates you The night-driving metaphor — and why detours don't mean failure How to reverse engineer your vision into yearly goals, monthly targets and daily habits The gap versus the gain mindset shift How to keep your goals visible and front of mind every day00:00 Welcome and Take Two 00:23 Why Goals Matter 02:51 Make Goals Truly Yours 05:53 The Road Trip Metaphor 09:07 How Goals Evolve 11:50 Reverse Engineer Your Vision 15:17 Realistic Targets, Not Pressure 20:03 Growth Zone, Not Overwhelm 21:37 Stop Overthinking, Start Doing 22:45 Gap Versus Gain Mindset 26:59 Make Goals Visible Daily 29:17 Journal Summary and Next Steps 30:44 Wrap Up and Coaching Invite Links & Resources: Learn more about KHH coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #161 - Discover Your Why: The Mindset Secret Behind Lasting Health and Habit Change

    Can I be honest with you? Most of us already know what we should be doing. The information isn't the problem. So why is it still so hard? That's what I'm digging into this week — and I think it's one of the most important conversations we can have on your health journey. Sustainable change isn't about finding the perfect plan. It's about mindset. Because no matter how good your programme is, motivation will dip, life will get in the way, and ordinary Tuesday evenings will test you. That's where most people fall down — not because they're lazy, but because they haven't got a strong enough anchor. That anchor is your why. In this episode, I walk you through four strategies to uncover yours, guide you through the Five Whys journaling exercise with a worked example, and share the research behind why a values-rooted why beats motivation every single time. This one is close to my heart. I hope it lands for you 💜 In this episode: 00:00 Welcome and Topic 00:42 Why Mindset Drives Lasting Change 02:31 Why Diets and Plans Keep Failing 04:25 The Power of a Strong Why 08:28 Motivation vs. Your Why 10:06 Journaling to Discover Your Why 11:03 Four Strategies to Uncover Your Why 13:46 The Five Whys Exercise 15:41 How to Live Your Why Every Day 17:22 Allowing Your Why to Evolve 19:24 The Science Behind Purpose 21:12 Wrap Up and Next StepsLinks & Resources: Learn more about KHH coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.
