    Ep 114- [BEST OF] Boost Your Metabolism: The Role of Muscle in Women's Health After 30

    Send us Fan Mail Kat, host of MilesFromHerView powered by KatFit Strength, explains why muscle is essential for metabolism and overall health for women in their thirties, forties, and beyond. She links age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) to a slowing metabolism, noting that after 30, women may lose about 3–8% of muscle per decade and that declining estrogen can accelerate loss during perimenopause and menopause. Kat explains how muscle increases resting metabolic rate, improves insulin sensitivity, supports hormonal balance, and helps preserve bone density, thereby reducing osteoporosis risk. She emphasizes strength training—ideally 2–3 full-body sessions weekly using compound movements and progressive overload—along with recovery, sleep, and adequate protein intake. She encourages consistency while acknowledging busy seasons like early motherhood. 00:00 Metabolism and Muscle 00:30 Show Intro and Host 02:15 Why This Matters Now 04:37 Muscle as Metabolic Organ 07:31 Hormones and Aging Shifts 10:35 Real Life in Your 30s ☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?

    EP 113- How to Actually Build Muscle After 35: Failure, Volume, and Why More Isn't Always Better

    Send us Fan Mail Kat, host of MilesFromHerView (powered by KatFit Strength), breaks down hypertrophy (muscle growth) and explains what truly matters for building and maintaining muscle as women age, especially during perimenopause and menopause, when estrogen declines and muscle loss accelerates. She covers three common topics: training to failure, training volume, and heavy loads. Kat defines true failure and recommends training close to failure (leaving 1–2 reps in reserve/RPE 8–9) on big compound lifts, saving true failure for lower-risk accessory work. She warns against “trash volume,” noting that newer research shows similar hypertrophy with fewer sets, and suggests 12–20 challenging sets per muscle group per week for most people. Finally, she encourages progressive overload and heavier loads (safely progressed with good form), emphasizing muscle as “metabolic currency” that supports joints, bone density, and independence. ☎️ Book a Call with Kat 💪 Train with Kat 00:00 Training Questions Answered 00:55 Podcast Welcome 02:23 What Is Hypertrophy 02:41 Why Muscle Matters 04:24 Training Near Failure 07:28 Avoiding Trash Volume 08:09 How Much Volume Works 10:32 When To Lift Heavy 12:16 Progressive Overload Safely 13:52 Three Key Takeaways 15:00 Coaching Invitation 15:43 Final Outro ☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?

    Ep 112: Women's Healthcare Advocacy: How to Get Answers When the System Lets You Down

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Lizzy, a board-certified internal medicine and sports medicine physician and founder of Active Health DPC in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, joins Kat to discuss why many women feel dismissed in healthcare and how to advocate for themselves in appointments. They cover how biased and rushed visits can lead to women’s symptoms being minimized, and why self-advocacy means clearly communicating needs until you feel heard and understand the plan. Dr. Lizzy shares practical ways to prepare: bring a symptom timeline, describe the impact on daily life, list what you’ve tried, set the agenda early, ask clarifying questions, repeat the plan back, and understand testing logistics and follow-ups. They also discuss when to seek second opinions, how “sick visits” can apply to new symptoms (not just infections), and how to evaluate online health advice by checking credentials and being wary of sales-driven messaging.  Get in touch with Dr. Lizzy:  🌎 https://activehealthdpc.org/ 📲 Instagram/Facebook: @Active Health DPC 00:00 Feeling Dismissed 00:21 Meet Dr. Lizzy 02:47 Why Women Hold Back 04:25 How Far To Push 08:00 Prep For Appointments 12:11 Clarify The Plan 15:13 Second Opinions Support 15:50 Preventive Vs Sick Visits 21:57 Google Vs Doctor Advice 25:39 Cortisol And Normal Labs 33:29 Finding Real Experts 37:48 Supplements And Simplicity 39:36 Key Takeaway And Wrap ☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?

    Ep 111- Stay In It: Training Through the Summer Chaos

    Send us Fan Mail Kat introduces MilesFromHerView and explains how changes to the summer schedule and travel can disrupt fitness routines. She argues that true consistency isn’t about rigidly completing every planned session but about staying “in relationship” with training by keeping the thread even when workouts are modified, shorter, or chaotic. She shares her own unstructured “re-entry” after completing an FKT on the 230-mile Pennsylvania Appalachian Trail (34,000+ feet of climbing) in 98 hours and 41 minutes, noting that recovery and maintenance can feel wrong even when they’re the right approach. Kat reframes the “gray area” as where real development happens and offers four planning questions for the next 6–8 weeks: assess real availability, define what you’re training for, choose what you want to do this summer, and create a backup “good enough” plan so you can adapt without guilt. 00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 00:51 Summer Schedule Shifts 01:43 Redefining Consistency 04:43 Kat’s Post FKT Reentry 06:58 Summer Can Derail Plans 08:09 Plans That Bend 09:00 Four Questions Framework 09:44 Question One Availability 10:10 Question Two Training Goal 11:40 Question Three Summer Movement 13:02 Question Four Backup Plan 14:16 You’re Not Off Track 14:50 Share and Work With Me 15:21 Outro and Subscribe ☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?

    107: Unseen Work, Unrealized Power: The Boundaries You Never Knew You Needed

    Send us Fan Mail Kat welcomes Ayla, a psychotherapist and family coach who specializes in boundaries, burnout, over-functioning, and generational trauma. They discuss why high-achieving women and moms often feel drained as they handle logistics, emotions, and goals. Ayla explains over-functioning as doing for others what they can do themselves, such as taking on extra chores, speaking for others, or jumping into conflicts. She notes that supportive partnerships can still feel unbalanced due to invisible labor and cultural expectations. Using Bowen family systems theory, she describes how stress creates cycles of over- and under-functioning, sharing an example involving a “Fair Play” household task card game that caused resentment. Ayla emphasizes that boundaries are non-punitive limits protecting relationships and reducing resentment, highlighting the importance of clear communication, natural consequences, creative compromises, and modeling boundaries for children.
