    Fat Loss with Hormone Issues: Alysa's Journey

    What happens when you're doing all the things you're supposed to do to lose fat, but your body doesn't seem to be responding the way you expect? In this episode, I'm turning the microphone over to my wife and fellow Beyond The Weights coach, Alysa, to talk about her personal experience navigating fat loss alongside hormonal challenges. We're diving into the frustrations, lessons, and realities of pursuing body composition goals when hormones are part of the equation. From understanding how hormonal health can influence energy, hunger, recovery, and fat loss to learning when to adjust your approach rather than simply pushing harder. As coaches, we spend so much time helping other women navigate these challenges. But this conversation is an opportunity to share what that experience looks like from the other side. Because sometimes the answer isn't eating less, training harder, or being more disciplined. It's learning how to work WITH your body instead of constantly fighting against it. Find Alysa Here

    Our Anti-"Settling Down" Marriage: our evolution as a couple

    What does it really take to build a marriage where two people can continue to grow, evolve, and become more of themselves without growing apart? In celebration of our anniversary, I'm sitting down with my wife, Alysa, for an honest conversation about our marriage. Where we started, who we've become, the challenges we've navigated, and the ways our relationship has evolved alongside us. We're talking about why so many couples fall into complacency, what it means to continue choosing yourself AND your partner, and why we believe a thriving marriage requires intention, curiosity, and a willingness to grow. At the heart of this conversation is one of my deepest beliefs: Love is both a feeling and a choice. And the purest kind of love offers both safety AND freedom. This isn't about having a perfect marriage. It's about creating a relationship that continues to feel alive, even as the people within it change.

    What is Somatic Healing?

    You've probably heard the term somatic healing everywhere lately. But what does it actually mean, and how can it help you? In this episode, we're going beyond the buzzwords to explore what somatic healing really is, how trauma and chronic stress influence the nervous system, and why understanding your patterns intellectually doesn't always mean your body has caught up. I'm sharing what led me to become an Integrative Somatic Practitioner, what somatic work looks like in practice, and how it can help bridge the gap between what you logically know and what you physically experience. We'll also explore why somatic healing can be a powerful complement to talk therapy and mindset work, especially when you've spent years trying to think your way out of patterns that your body continues to repeat. Because healing isn't just about changing how you think. It's also about changing how you experience yourself and the world around you.

    The Lost Art of Going DEEP

    Welcome Back to Beyond The Weights We're living in a world where we know a little bit about everything, but understand almost nothing deeply. We've become conditioned to instant gratification, constant stimulation, bite-sized information, and the endless pursuit of what's NEXT. But what is that costing us? In this episode, I'm welcoming you back to Beyond The Weights, sharing a little about where I've been, how I've evolved, and why I'm craving something MORE from the conversations we're having. We're exploring the lost art of going deep, the difference between consuming information and actually embodying it, and why real transformation requires presence, curiosity, and a willingness to STAY. This is the beginning of a new chapter. One for women who want to go deeper into their health, relationships, bodies, minds, and the experience of being fully ALIVE. Less surface level. More depth. More connection. More LIFE. Welcome back. 🫶🏼 Connect with me on IG: instagram.com/joelleyreyes

    I went on a sensual embodiment retreat

    This episode is a raw, behind-the-scenes reflection on my experience at the Wild Worship retreat… a space where women came together to reconnect with their bodies, their truth, and their fullest expression. I share what I walked into, what unfolded throughout the experience, and the moments that cracked me open the most. From somatic release and nervous system work to sisterhood, sensuality, and the reclamation of pleasure, this conversation is about what happens when you stop performing and start feeling. If you’ve been craving deeper connection, more aliveness, and a sense of coming home to yourself, this episode will meet you there.

    How Stress Impacts Your Hormones

    Today we’re breaking down what stress actually does inside your body — beyond the feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, or pressure. Stress isn’t just a mood. It’s a biochemical cascade that changes your hormones, metabolism, energy, digestion, sleep, and ultimately… how your body responds. We’ll cover: • What allostatic load really means • Why “modern living” keeps your stress baseline high • How the HPA-axis (brain → hormones → adrenals) actually works • Cortisol's ripple effect on your thyroid, sex hormones, metabolism & blood sugar • Why symptoms like fatigue, cravings, PMS, weight plateaus, and anxiety are biological — not personal failures • The difference between feeling stressed vs. being physiologically stressed • How to get your body out of survival mode so it can thrive again If you’ve ever felt inflamed, exhausted, puffy, wired-but-tired, low-libido, or like your body just doesn’t “respond” the way it used to… this one’s for you. Your body isn’t broken — it’s protecting you. Let’s teach it safety again. Ready to rebuild resilience & metabolism from the inside out? APPLY FOR COACHING
