    58. Why Women Stay Stuck Underfueling - Reverse Dieting 101

    This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, exhausted, or like nothing is working no matter how little they eat. Kelsey breaks down what reverse dieting actually is, why so many women are unknowingly under-fueling, and how that’s holding them back from seeing real progress. We talk about the mental side of it too—the fear of eating more, the “less is better” mindset, and why that way of thinking can actually be the thing keeping you stuck. You’ll learn how reverse dieting helps rebuild your metabolism, improve energy, regulate hormones, and change your body composition in a way that actually lasts. We also get into what this process actually looks like—how to start, what to expect, and common mistakes like increasing calories too fast or relying only on the scale instead of real progress markers. This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a strategic process that requires patience, trust, and learning to work with your body instead of against it. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your progress, scared to eat more, or stuck in the cycle of constantly cutting… this episode will change the way you think about it. @kelseylensman @xpandyourlimits xpandyourlimit.com

    55. My Next Competition Is...

    Growth doesn’t always look like chasing the next big goal. Sometimes, it looks like slowing down. In this episode, Kelsey pulls back the curtain and shares the behind-the-scenes shift happening in her life and training this year. After years of high-intensity competitions, national campaigns, a 100-mile race, and pushing her body to extreme limits, unexpected lab results became a wake-up call. Instead of setting another finish line, she chose something harder: foundations. Kelsey shares her new training structure, nutrition priorities, recovery non-negotiables, Sabbath rhythm, and the mindset shift from proving to prioritizing. This episode is about being fit in all areas — physically, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Because sometimes the strongest thing you can do… is stop chasing and start stewarding. @xpandyourlimits @kelseylensman xpandyourlimit.com

    53. Strength Training or Pilates?

    Strength isn’t about fitting into a category — it’s about building a body that carries you for life. In this episode, Kelsey shares how getting snowed in pushed her to try Pilates for the first time and sparked a bigger conversation around women’s training. She breaks down why strength training is foundational for muscle preservation, bone density, metabolic health, and confidence — especially as we age — and how Pilates, mobility work, and impact training complement that foundation. @kelseylensman@xpandyourlimitsxpandyourlimit.com

    52. Committed vs. Contingent
