The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast

We're officially diving deeper into lean build season, because eating more food alone isn't going to build the body you want! If you're increasing your calories, but your training isn't giving your body a reason to change, you're not actually setting yourself up to build muscle. In today’s episode, I'm talking about how to execute a lean build AND how your training needs to support it. You need a few things in place to do this well: consistent resistance training, progressive overlo...

We are officially moving into BUILD season (which I’m pumped about)! But…maybe the thought of intentionally eating more, watching the scale potentially go up, and NOT trying to get smaller makes you uncomfortable. If you can relate, you’re not alone, but it’s something we need to talk about more. If you want more muscle, shape, strength, and that “toned” look everyone is chasing, you can't spend your entire fitness journey in a calorie deficit! In today’s episode, I'm breaking down what...

Feeling like you want to build your home gym? Well…you do NOT need a garage full of brand new equipment, or every shiny fitness gadget social media tells you to buy. You definitely don't need to believe the BS that says you can only build muscle or progressively overload in a gym, either. You can totally build an amazing body from home - you just need the right equipment that you’ll actually use! In today’s episode, I'm breaking down the five things I would prioritize if I were buil...

If you've ever felt like food is constantly on your mind, you're NOT alone. Food noise is definitely a buzzword these days - it’s literally EVERYWHERE. It’s also one of the most overlooked parts of a health journey! Food noise can feel overwhelming. I’ve had my own experience with food noise, from restrictive dieting and all-or-nothing thinking, to finally understanding how nutrition can set me free (instead of hold me back). Ultimately, food isn't supposed to control your thoughts, moo...

In this episode, I’m joined by obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Hannah Ryles to talk about exercise, fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. We cover how the right kind of movement can support fertility, hormonal balance, and metabolic health, as well as when exercise can become too much stress on the body. We also talk about what types of workouts are safe while trying to conceive, how to train during each trimester, and what advice around pregnancy fitness is outdated or overly fear-b...

Most women think they need to lose weight to change their body… but what they actually want is body recomposition. In this episode of the Gym Confidence Series, we’re breaking down what body recomp actually means, why strength training changes your shape, and why the “toned” look so many women want actually comes from building muscle - not starving yourself or doing endless cardio. I also talk about the difference between fat loss and muscle building, why the scale is not the full picture...

Walking into the gym can feel intimidating when you don’t know what anything does. Between the machines, dumbbells, barbells, cable stations and cardio equipment… it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before you even start. A lot of women avoid the gym completely - not because they aren’t capable - but because they feel like everyone else knows something they don’t. In this episode of the Gym Confidence Series, we’re breaking down the basics of gym equipment in a way that actually makes sense. I’m ...

I am so excited to feature one one of my Unf*ck Your Fitness clients, Julie, to talk about her fitness journey over the last three years! Julie came to me feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, underfed, and stuck. She had recently changed jobs, was navigating a new ulcerative colitis diagnosis, had gained weight, and knew she wanted to feel like herself again…but she had no idea where to start. We talk about what it felt like for her to learn macros, reverse diet, start strength training, and ...

In this episode, I’m joined by Liz Plosser to talk about essential amino acids, creatine, protein, aging, and why muscle matters so much for women. We break down the difference between protein powder, creatine, and EAAs, talk about why recovery and muscle preservation become even more important as we age, and get into the bigger picture of supporting your body well in every season. This conversation is educational, but also really empowering. We talk about the pivot that happens as women ge...
