For a lot of us, exercise in our 20s and 30s had one main goal: get smaller.Burn more calories. Lose more weight. Fit into the smaller size. But somewhere in our 40s, the goal starts to change. We're a little less worried about what everyone else thinks of our bodies, and a little more interested in whether we'll still be able to get ourselves up off the floor when we're 70. In this episode of Weight Loss with a Side of Grace, we're talking about what happens when strength starts to matter more

Why do I feel hungry all the time? I used to wonder that too, until I went 72 hours without food and hunger taught me a lesson I didn’t expect.Years ago, before I learned to listen to my body, I used intermittent fasting to manage my weight. The first time I fasted, I did it on purpose. I’d just come off night shift at Arnott’s, the cookie company, during a new product launch, and I decided to see how long I could go. I flew back to Sydney and made it 24 hours without food. I remember marvelling

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Nourished Connections, I’m talking about one of the most important skills we can help our kids develop: learning how to think about their thoughts. As our children get older, we cannot protect them from every disappointment, awkward moment, mistake, rejection, or hard season. But we can teach them how to recognize the stories they are telling themselves, question unhelpful thoughts, build real confidence, and become more resilient when life does not go the ...

The #1 symptom with IBD is fatigue and while some acceptance is important - there are also so many nutrition connections with fatigue that we don't want to completely ignore it either. The most common nutrition related fatigue reasons we see: 💜Not enough intake overall 💜Low diversity & antioxidants 💜Inadequate fluids or electrolytes 💜Nutrient deficiencies like vitamin D, iron, B12, folate etc 💜Nutrient deficiencies treated when low but not retested 💜Hard workouts without adequate

Regenerative grazers share an innovative mindset, but their specific solutions depend on their unique land, climate, and goals. In this episode, Peter interviews Daniel and Jenna Magalsky, creators of the Tire Winder fencing system. After returning to Daniel’s family farm in eastern Montana, the couple sought a profitable, resilient approach suited for dryland farming. Dealing with thin soils, scarce water, weeds, and a fraction of the acreage of neighboring farms, they chose regenerative ...

Being told you're pre-diabetic, often by text, with a link to a leaflet and no real conversation, can leave you standing in the kitchen googling the worst version of every fact at midnight. This episode is the steadying hand nobody handed you at the surgery.A pre-diabetes result is an early flag, not a life sentence, and it's one of the most responsive moments there is to do something with. But you have to know what to ask. In this episode I walk you through exactly how to prepare for your next GP

A seasonal look at why nutrition is about more than individual vitamins and minerals. This episode explores the wider nutritional terrain, including variety, seasonal foods, plant diversity, and the nutrients that become particularly relevant as autumn progresses. It also considers how vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc and selenium can contribute to normal function as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Working from home sounds like it should make it easier to stay active. No commute, more flexibility, and technically you could work out whenever you want.But you can also sit down at your desk, spend four to six hours on Zoom calls, work on your computer the rest of the day, and somehow end up completely exhausted with barely 2,000 steps. 😂In this episode, I’m sharing what I actually do to build more movement into my own work-from-home days, without turning my entire day into an elaborate wellness

Hair thinning. Rising blood sugar. Thyroid issues. Perimenopause symptoms.What if they’re more connected than you realize? 👀One of the things I want women to understand is that your symptoms don’t happen in isolation. Your digestion, blood sugar, thyroid, and hormones are constantly influencing one another.In this episode, I’m breaking down:🌿 Why I look at gut health when symptoms seem completely unrelated to digestion🩸 How blood sugar regulation can impact your thyroid and hormones💇‍♀️ What

Can you build muscle and lose fat after 50 at the same time? Yes, but the timeline matters more than most people realize.In this episode of the Four Pillar Fitness Insights Podcast, I break down what realistic progress can look like after 50, including when strength gains may show up, how long noticeable muscle growth can take, and why fat loss and hypertrophy don’t always happen at the same pace.We also talk about body recomposition, muscle memory, protein, calorie intake, alcohol, recovery, and

Losing 90 pounds is one challenge. Learning how to live at that new weight is another. In this episode, Annika talks with Dr. Albert Takem about what changed after the weight came off — and why maintaining her progress has required a different mindset than simply watching the number on the scale go down. She explains how she learned not to panic when her weight fluctuates, how she stopped equating “full” with “stuffed,” and why she no longer feels obligated to finish everything on her plate...

Have you ever felt like you have to get everything right before you can finally feel successful?You eat healthy. You work out. You drink your water. You make good choices. You're “on track.” And then…you have dessert. Or you miss a workout. Or you have a stressful day and find yourself eating in a way you didn't plan to. And suddenly, that little voice starts talking: “Well, I blew it.” “I need to get back on track.” “I'll start again Monday.” But what if the problem isn't that you need more

Is the scale helping you measure progress—or stealing your joy?In this short Friday Extra Credit episode of FAT LOSS SCHOOL, Amy explains why weight loss and fat loss are NOT the same thing, especially for women over 50. The number on the scale includes much more than body fat, and normal changes in water, glycogen, digestion, food intake, workouts and other factors can cause daily weight fluctuations. Meanwhile, a woman can lose fat, gain muscle, become smaller and stronger—and weigh exactly the

Every year it is the same story. You get to January, you go to button your favorite jeans, and they just do not button the way they used to. And you stand there thinking, wait, how? I did not do anything that different. Here is what I need you to know. You are not imagining it, and it is not your willpower. There is a real reason women gain weight every single fall, it starts quietly right about now, and almost nobody sees it coming until the damage is already done. And no, it is not the one ...

Metformin has been a first-line diabetes medication for decades, but lately it's become known for two other things: as an off-label add-on for weight loss, and as a buzzy "longevity drug." Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down how she actually uses metformin in her practice as an adjunct for patients with prediabetes who are plateauing on GLP-1 medications, what the real weight loss data shows (and doesn't), the safety profile you should know about, and whether or not the popular longevity claims are r...

That daily loop of “great after breakfast” to “what is wrong with me at 3 p.m.” isn’t a willpower issue. I’m talking about blood sugar as an energy and cravings issue, even if you’ve never once worried about diabetes. When glucose swings hard, it can show up as afternoon crashes, after-dinner sweets cravings, feeling shaky when meals run late, or relying on coffee to hold everything together. I keep the science simple: blood sugar is glucose in your bloodstream, and insulin helps move it int...
