290. Q&A: Dieting, ADHD Meds & Muscle Loss: What You Really Need to Know
In today’s solo episode, I’m answering a powerful question from listener Stephanie about a challenge many women face on their fitness journey: what to do when medication suppresses your appetite and you’re not eating enough — especially when you’re trying to maintain or build muscle. Whether you're taking ADHD medication, weight loss meds, or anything else that impacts your hunger cues… Navigating nutrition can get tricky. And while eating less might seem like a fast track to fat loss, undereating can actually slow your metabolism and lead to unwanted muscle loss. In this episode, I’m breaking down realistic, doable strategies to help you get enough nutrition even on low-appetite days. You’ll learn how to fuel your body in a way that supports your muscle and aesthetic goals, keeps your metabolism up, and works with your medication — not against your progress. If muscle tone, strength, and a healthy metabolism are on your goal list, this is one you don’t want to miss.

289. Stop Sabotaging Your Weight Loss: Focus on FACTS, Not FEELINGS!
In today’s solo episode, I’m diving into something every woman on a weight loss journey has faced: the emotional rollercoaster that can sabotage your progress. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right — tracking, moving, hitting your goals — but the scale just won’t budge… you’re not alone. That frustration and self-doubt is real, and it can be the very thing that leads you to give up too soon. But here’s the truth: the difference between women who hit their weight loss goals and those who stay stuck isn’t just about the plan they follow — it’s about mindset. This episode is all about how to spot and stop self-sabotage in its tracks. I’m sharing much needed real talk and practical tools to help you shift from emotional reactions to data-driven decisions, so you can stay focused, consistent, and in control of your progress — no matter what the scale says. Let’s stop letting feelings make the final call. Hit play and take back your power. Doors open soon!
