Six months of 2026 are behind you, but here’s the good news: you still have six months to create incredible change. In this episode of Fat Loss School, we’re treating July like a mid-year report card—not to judge yourself, but to assess what’s working, make adjustments, and finish the year stronger than ever. If you’ve been waiting for the ”perfect time” to start, this is your reminder that you don’t need a new year or even a new month. You just need a fresh decision. Plus, with Independence Day around the corner, it’s time to declare your freedom from diet culture and embrace a sustainable approach to fat loss that actually lasts. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why July is the perfect time for a mid-year health reset How to stop letting the first six months define the next six Why busy schedules don’t have to derail your progress How Amy stays consistent through travel, vacations, and family events What it means to declare your independence from starvation diets, punishing workouts, and all-or-nothing thinking Practical strategies for navigating holiday weekends without guilt The core habits that make the biggest difference after 50: Intermittent fasting Strength training Walking Drinking more water Choosing mostly whole foods Prioritizing sleep and recovery Why summer’s longer days, fresh produce, and outdoor opportunities can actually make healthy living easier How starting now can lead to significant fat loss and improved health before Christmas and 2027 Ready for Your Next Semester?

Today I’m joined by Theresa Emanuel, the host of Faith Food Fellowship podcast, and we’re talking about something that goes way beyond just food and fitness. Because if you’ve ever felt like your habits are off, your routines are cluttered, your mind feels noisy… and no matter how many times you try to “get back on track,” something just isn’t clicking—this conversation is for you. Theresa has created something really special called Spring Clean With God: Clear the Clutter from your Heart, Home, Habits, Health, and Head, and I love the way it takes a step back and looks at the whole picture. (It’s happening March 24-26 and it’s free!) Not just what you’re eating or how you’re working out—but what’s going on in your heart, your head, your home… and how all of that connects to your health. And honestly? This is the piece a lot of women are missing. So today we’re diving into what it really means to “clear the clutter,” why it matters more than you think, and how this kind of reset can make everything else feel a whole lot more doable.

Today we are talking about a topic that is everywhere right now—GLP-1 medications for weight loss. You’ve probably heard about them from friends, your doctor, social media, or the news. And for many women, these medications are becoming one possible tool in their health journey. But here’s the key question I wanted to explore today: What happens when you combine GLP-1 medications with the foundational habits that actually support long-term health and fat loss? Because one thing I always teach here in Fat Loss School is that no tool replaces the fundamentals—things like prioritizing protein, eating mostly whole foods, strength training, managing stress, and creating sustainable habits. So instead of just talking about GLP-1s, I thought it would be much more helpful to talk with women who are actually navigating this in real life. Today I’m joined by two of my FASTer Way clients, Liese Tavaglione and Robyn Neft, who are both using GLP-1 medications as one tool in their journey while also following the FASTer Way strategies like a protein-first approach to eating and consistent strength training. They’re generously sharing their honest experiences—what led them to consider this option, what they’ve learned along the way, and how focusing on foundational habits has helped them do this in a healthy and sustainable way. If you’ve been curious about GLP-1s, considering them yourself, or simply wondering how they fit into a bigger health picture, this conversation will give you a balanced, real-life perspective.
