| 10/14/26 | How To Get Lean Without More Cardio: 10 Things I’d Do Differently | If I had to lose fat, build muscle and start from zero again, these are the 10 things I'd do. I spent years yo-yo dieting, doing random workouts and weighing myself twice a day, and none of it worked until I changed the way I approached it. This is everything I wish I'd known at the start. We cover why discipline beats motivation, prioritizing whole foods without being restrictive, strength training four days a week, progressive overload, tracking macros for the first three months, building a small deficit instead of slashing calories, keeping carbs in, throwing the scale away, changing your environment, and why six months is the number that actually matters.

| 10/7/26 | Dr. Clay Moss: The GLP-1 Mistake Making Women Look Worse | Most women are told their bloodwork is normal while they still feel exhausted, foggy and stuck. Dr. Clay Moss breaks down what a standard panel checks, what it misses, and the labs to ask for instead.

We also cover hormone replacement therapy and the study that scared a generation of women away from it, what perimenopause really looks like, GLP-1s and who they help, creatine and vitamin D, why DEXA beats BMI, intermittent fasting for women, and why strength training is the one thing he would never give up.

| 9/30/26 | How To Detox Your Kitchen: Hormones, Plastics & Forever Chemicals w/ Jordan Nathan (Caraway Founder) | The average person consumes about a credit card's worth of plastic every week, and PFAS forever chemicals are now in roughly 97% of people's blood. I sat down with Jordan, the founder of Caraway, to talk about what's actually in your nonstick cookware, why Teflon was originally created for the atomic bomb, and how to tell in five seconds whether the pan in your kitchen is coated in it.

| 9/23/26 | Our Wedding Q&A: Body Prep, The Cost & What I'd Change | We're finally answering every question you sent us about our wedding. Ian and I sat down to go through the whole day, from the venue in Chattanooga and the three dress changes, to the kids' recorded voice notes that played as they walked down the aisle, the tattoo artist we had at the reception, and the cinnamon roll cake we poured icing over instead of cutting. We're also getting into the practical stuff you asked for most. How I prepped my body in the weeks leading up, what we splurged on and where we saved, what our wedding actually cost, and the one thing I'd do differently if I could go back. Plus why I did my own makeup, where my veil is from, and the five hour nail saga the day before we left.

| 9/19/26 | How To Get Sunkissed, Glowy Skin WITHOUT Looking Cakey | My Wedding Makeup | I booked the hair stylist, the makeup artist and the trial in Atlanta, and then I looked in the mirror and it just didn't feel like me. So I decided to do my own wedding makeup. This is the exact sun kissed, feminine, bronzed bridal look I landed on after multiple trials. I'm taking you through every step, from skin prep and eyeshadow placement to sculpting with blush, setting it so it doesn't sink into fine lines, individual lashes, and the lip combo I found after about ten tries. Whether you're a bride, going to an event, or you just want your everyday makeup a little more glam, this one's for you.

| 9/16/26 | Dr. Sasha Hamdani: Why Disciplined Women Fall Apart (It's Not Anxiety, It's ADHD) | I was diagnosed with ADHD at seven and spent the next twenty years on medication before taking myself off everything in 2021. For most of that time I thought ADHD just meant I couldn't focus. Nobody ever told me the part actually running my life was emotional regulation. Dr. Sasha Hamdani is a psychiatrist and ADHD specialist who has ADHD herself. She explains why ADHD is a regulation disorder rather than an attention disorder, why the diagnostic criteria were built by studying hyperactive little boys and how that leaves women misdiagnosed with anxiety and depression, and what is happening in your amygdala when one small criticism floods you for hours. We get into rejection sensitivity, procrastination, perfectionism, sleep, caffeine and ADHD medication, and I share for the first time that my six-year-old son was just diagnosed.

| 6/3/26 | The Fertility Crisis Nobody's Talking About (And How to Fix It) ft. WeNatal | Sperm counts have dropped 60% in 60 years and if nothing changes, they could reach zero by 2045. Yet we still only talk about women when it comes to fertility. In this episode, I sit down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Rahim, the founders of WeNatal, to have the conversation the fertility world keeps skipping.

| 5/27/26 | What It Actually Takes to Become a Navy SEAL | This one's for the military families, the military spouses, and anyone who has ever wondered what it actually takes to become, and stay, a Navy SEAL. In honor of Memorial Day, Ian is in the hot seat. Sam kicks things off sharing her own mini Navy SEAL experience at a PLT summit in Montauk -45- degree water, burpees in the sand, and a whole new level of respect for the man she's marrying. Then Ian takes over, and the conversation goes deep. They get into why Ian became a SEAL in the first place (hint: it wasn't for the reasons you'd expect), what it felt like to watch 220 men enter BUD/S training and finish with only 36, and how much of making it as a SEAL is truly mental versus physical. Ian opens up about the emotional disconnect that comes with returning home from deployment, the toll it took on his marriage, and why deployment often felt more like an escape than a hardship. He also talks about the identity crisis that hits when you leave the teams, why no civilian job can fill that void and what it means to repurpose yourself after the most elite career in the world. They also get into raising kids with military values, what Ian wants to pass down and what he doesn't, and the jaw-dropping story of how Ian and Sam's dad unknowingly crossed paths on a mission in Africa years before Ian and Sam ever met. If you've ever wanted to get inside the mind of a SEAL, this is the episode. _____ Sam's LINKS: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7 day trial* https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide: https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs: https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs Follow Sam: Insta: @samcfit_ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine _____ Thank you to our sponsors!

| 5/20/26 | Healing PCOS From the Root with Mila Magnani, Founder of Milamend | What if every symptom you've been dismissed for actually had an answer? Mila Magnani spent over a decade being told her acne, facial hair, irregular cycles, and fatigue were just genetics, just stress, just part of being a woman. It wasn't until her body completely broke down during COVID that she finally got real answers, and decided to find her own solution. In this episode, Mila takes us all the way back to age 11, where her symptoms first started, through years of birth control, spironolactone, an IUD, a PCOS diagnosis, hypothyroidism, iron deficiency, and a tick-borne red meat allergy she didn't even know she had. She shares the exact root cause approach that healed her, what labs every woman with PCOS should be running, and how she turned her healing journey into Milamend, a clinically-backed supplement brand built by a woman who actually lived it. We also get into why most PCOS supplements are formulated by men, the truth about maltodextrin hiding in "clean" products, why bio-individuality matters more than any protocol, and the massive clinical trial Milamend is funding right now. If you've been doing everything right and still don't feel like yourself, this one is for you. _____ Milamend is a supplement company that specializes in Hormone Balance Supplements for PCOS Management. With only 16 ingredients, Milamend was created by a woman who found a supplement stack that finally helped her PCOS symptoms and turned it into a solution all women can try.

| 5/13/26 | Q&A: Healing My Gut, Staying Lean, Blood Work and Our Wedding | What if the thing you've been dealing with for years could be fixed in 12 weeks? In this Q&A episode, Ian and I are back answering your questions with zero prep and zero filter. I'm sharing my full update on the 12-week gut healing protocol I did with practitioner Amy Williams, what we found in my bloodwork, and what it actually felt like to cut caffeine, strip back to whole foods, and rebuild from the inside out. I lost 4 to 5 pounds of pure inflammation, my painful bloating episodes are completely gone, and I genuinely feel like a different person. We also get into managing food noise and cravings, my current macros, how to stay lean while lifting heavy without bulking, and the blood work markers every woman should be checking if she's always tired and running on empty. Ian and I talk about how we balance training with kids, how we make it work as a couple who spends every waking hour together, and what I'd tell anyone feeling defeated in their relationship right now. Plus our full running shoe breakdown, top home gym equipment picks, and yes, a full wedding update. We saw the venue, survived the catering tasting, and we are four months out. It's all coming together.

| 5/6/26 | The Truth About PCOS & Hypothyroidism: How I Lost 40 Pounds Eating MORE | ft. Micaela Riley | In this episode, I sit down with Micaela Riley, a functional nutritionist and women's health specialist who transformed her own life after years of struggling with PCOS, Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, SIBO, and leaky gut. Her story starts at 14 years old when a quick doctor's appointment led to birth control, weight gain, hair loss, exhaustion, and a decade of being told she just wasn't working out enough or eating little enough. What followed was years of over exercising, under eating, and chasing answers that traditional medicine couldn't provide. We dive deep into what actually worked: reverse dieting, eating more instead of less, cutting back on cardio, prioritizing strength training and walking, and addressing root causes through functional lab testing. Micaela shares how she lost 40 pounds over five years by doing the opposite of what doctors told her, got her period back after losing it for six years, and finally healed her gut and balanced her hormones without birth control or restrictive dieting. This conversation gets real about the five things she would never do again: over exercising, fasting without proper nutrition, taking random supplements without lab work, neglecting sleep, and ignoring blood sugar balance. We talk about the power of eating a high protein breakfast, why intermittent fasting isn't for everyone, how continuous glucose monitors can change your approach to food, and why lifting weights is one of the most powerful tools for insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. We also get into peptides, GLP-1s, the fab five supplements everyone should consider, sleep hygiene, and why so many women are stuck in cycles of restriction and inflammation. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still struggling with weight, energy, hormones, or gut issues, this episode will shift the way you think about your health.
