Ep. 199 What Is Insulin Resistance And How Do You...

Vanessa G Fitcast ·

2024/11/25

Optimizing insulin and blood sugar is really the hidden gem for a lot of people’s hormone healing and weight loss journeys. After consuming food, especially carbs, blood sugar levels rise. The pancreas detects this increase and releases insulin. Insulin facilitates the update of glucose by cells, promoting conversion into energy or storage as glycogen in the liver and muscles. In periods of low blood sugar (fasting, between meals, or during physical activity), the pancreas releases glucagon to

Ep. 198 Here's Why Your Weight REALLY Isn't Moving

Vanessa G Fitcast ·

2024/11/18

The REAL reason your weight isn't moving might surprise you... And that reason has to do with how you are measuring your weight in the first place: the scale. Most women will randomly step on the scale one day to see where they are at, or they weigh in at the doctors office. They’re shocked to see a number higher than they expected or heavier than they've ever been before. They decide to go on a diet, or to start exercising more and eating healthier. They continue to step on the scale each morning

2024/11/11

Trying to lose fat with a slow metabolism is just a waste of time... Let me explain. Your metabolism can be changed. Genetics play a role, but not as much as people think. “Weight struggles run in my family” 73.6% of American adults aged 20 and older are considered overweight or obese, with around 40.3% classified as obese. Only about 100 years ago, only 3-5% of Americans were overweight. Obesity was extremely rare then. Our genetics as a species didn’t suddenly change causing everyone to feel like

It's spooky season and we have a great topic for this week's podcast! One of my biggest pet peeves is fear mongering and I always hated people fear mongering around toxins specifically because truthfully, I find it all very overwhelming. But I also recognize that knowledge is power, and my learning more about toxins, what they are, how they actually impact your body from a science perspective, and things you can do about it. We can better support our health and our body composition goals! In this

An open letter to anyone feeling like life is working against them... It’s okay to not know the answer to the question around what will make you feel better, and it’s okay to feel sad about that. We are so glad you are taking the space to process these feelings and you have come seeking advice because sometimes we need others to reflect different thought options and viewpoints to help us break out of our own thought patterns. We are not our thoughts, we are the creator of the thoughts. We are not

There are ways to induce fat loss without tracking calories or macros... I do still believe that tracking calories and/or macros is a great way to lose fat because it will teach you lifelong tools that help you maintain the fat loss… It's the best way to learn proper portion sizes, make sure you’re consistently eating in a calorie deficit to lose body fat, but also making sure you’re not undereating and slowing down your metabolism. However, it can be really difficult for people who are dieting on

Vulnerability moment: I don’t like talking about this because I get in my head thinking that sharing about my mental health struggles discredits me as a coach, but I know that more people struggle with anxiety or depression and feel alone and in the dark about it than not, and I hope that these tips are helpful for those of you, and also gives an example of how you can have these tendencies but that doesn’t mean that it’s your identity, and you can still achieve everything you want to achieve

Summer can be a more lenient time when it comes to our health and nutrition habits (I find myself ordering out more and going out to restaurants more too) but as the kids go back to school and you're settling into a new routine, if you want to make your health a priority, it starts with momentum.

There's a large psychological mistake that isn't your fault that many women struggle with when it comes to getting to their goal weight. The number 1 mistake is you’re probably making is having unrealistic expectations⁣.⁣Losing body fat takes longer than you want⁣ and you didn’t gain fat in a month so don’t expect it to fall off⁣ in a month (honesty is the best policy here).

The health and fitness market is littered with detox teas and different ways that supposedly will detox your body.

Eating in a calorie deficit will allow you to lose weight but there's a caveat... If the body were as simple as most make it out to be on social media, eating little calories would result in weight loss every time right? The body is smarter than this and its primary job is keeping us alive. This is where our hormones come into play and why weight loss is more complicated than most people think especially SUSTAINED weight loss.
