Fit in Real Life – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Social media is FULL of the latest fitness hacks, challenges, and quick-fix solutions.

One minute you're told you need to lift heavy like a powerlifter, and the next you’re wondering if dry brushing your thighs will magically burn off that last bit of fat (spoiler: it won’t).

It’s hard not to get swept up in all the promises of "rapid results" or "the one thing you need" for fat loss, strength, or wellness.

But how do you know what advice is worth following—and what might just leave you sore, confused, and still craving cookies?

In the latest episode of the Fit in Real Life podcast, I'm diving headfirst into the chaotic world of 2024 fitness trends to figure out which ones deserve a spot in your routine—and which ones should stay in your feed.

From lifting heavy weights to the endless list of wellness “hacks” that sound more like part-time jobs, I’ll give you the lowdown on what’s backed by science, and what’s backed by... well, nothing.

Press play to get the tools you need to make smarter choices. Listen wherever you listen to podcasts (and if its in your Infared sauna... no judgment!).

Are you tired of feeling stuck when it comes to your health and fitness goals? Do you ever wonder "why is it so hard to change when I know I need to?".

It's probably because you're asking yourself the WRONG questions—and those questions could be the very thing keeping you from making real progress.

In the latest episode of Fit in Real Life, I dive into the surprising power of the questions we ask ourselves every day. 

Whether you’re trying to lose weight, build strength, or simply take better care of yourself, the way you talk to yourself matters.

In this episode, I’ll show you how to flip the script with a few simple mindset shifts. We’ll go over some common (but unhelpful) questions that so many of us ask and explore better ways to reframe them so you can actually move forward.

If you’re ready to break out of your old patterns and create lasting change, this episode is for you.

Take a listen!

I'm glad you're here.

Over 300 episodes ago (episode 103), I recorded a podcast called The Diet "Rules" that are Actually Worth Following. 

It was one of my most popular podcasts, and this week I'm doing an updated version.

My goal is to simplify nutrition. To throw out the dogmatic cult like approach and start to explore what works for you, while allowing some flexibility so that you can still make progress while enjoying life.

There’s no doubt, nutrition matters. What you put into your body will affect how you feel, how your body looks and how your body functions. One of the question I get asked ALL the time is “what should I eat?”.

If you rely on Dr. Google for your answer, you’ll find a spectrum of answers, from Atkins to the Zone Diet (and everything in between), all backed by hundreds of success stories and before and after pictures.

They all work… For somebody. And they all work, usually for at least 4-6 weeks.

We keep searching for the ‘best diet’ or diet hack that will easily help us shed pounds, have more energy, or reach any other goal we desire.

But the truth is, there is no “best diet”. There’s only the best diet for YOU. And I believe that’s one that you can stick to. 

However, there are a few basic rules that are ACTUALLY worth following.

And that's exactly what I share on this week's podcast.

Weight loss might be a high priority for you, but it's not for your body. Your body's first priority is survival. And if you are chronically stressed, your body will prioritize stress management (survival) over your metabolism. 

But stress isn't just work deadlines, a tight budget and rush hour traffic. There are many other stressors that you might not even be aware of, and yet they are impacting how you feel (and yes, your ability to lose weight) every single day.

Press play and join me for a bit of science, strategies and mindset shifts to manage stress and live a vibrant life.

The two questions I get asked the most often are:
"How do I get motivated?" and 
"How do I get more consistent?"

If you're like most people, you feel inspired, motivated, and enthusiastic when you start a project or program. But over time, that motivation wanes. 

You feel less excited to close the kitchen after dinner.
You feel less enthusiastic about drinking sparkling water instead of wine. 
You feel less motivated to get up before sunrise to go to the gym.

In the past, you've given up. You slipped back into old habits and patterns. 

This time, let's do something different. Take a listen to this episode for a new perspective on enthusiasm.

Instead of learning tools and mindset strategies to overcome sugar cravings, wouldn't it be better if you didn't have them in  the first place?

I USED to think overcoming sugar cravings was just about mindset; and while I still think mindset is important, it's not everything. There's a lot we can DO to minimize cravings, so that we don't need to practice our mindset ninjas skills every night when the oreos call.

And that's exactly what we're going to do in this podcast.

Friend, I don't know about you, but I often need to hear things more than once before they sink in. I need to REMIND myself of helpful tools and mindset shifts often.

I can listen to a podcast or read a book and feel motivated and inspired, and then go take action. But then, as the days and weeks pass, I can find myself drifting into unhelpful thoughts and old patterns.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone 🙋‍♀️

But with every reminder, the tools and mindset shifts borrow a little deeper into my being, until eventually, it's just who I am. 

Let this week's podcast to a timely reminder for you (and me) on four important tools and mindset shifts to get you the body and life you want, and deserve.

I'm really glad you're here!

Chances are, if you're reading this or listening to this podcast, you want to lose weight without the diet obsession. You want to get to your happy, healthy weight and STAY there. You want to get consistent and stay consistent. You don't want to think about food all the time.

I hear you. What you want IS possible, but the path to get there is not a straight line.

It can be messy, it can feel uncomfortable, and some of the steps to get there might not lead to weight loss. In fact, some even might have you gaining some weight. 

I recorded this podcast to remind you that we are playing the LONG game. I also share something that I've never shared on the podcast before. 

I'm glad you're here. I'm on this journey with you. 

Press play and let's really talk about what this journey actually looks like.

Menopause is NOT just about your hormones.

Yes, you read that right!

While hormones might be the first thing you think of when you think of menopause, if you want to thrive in perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, there are many other factors you must consider.

If you want to feel good at this stage of your life (and I don't know who wouldn't!) you're going to love my interview with Jennifer Harrington.

Jennifer (Jenn) Harrington is a Naturopath who specializes in naturally supporting women transitioning into menopause. She is the Clinical Director of Menopause Natural Solutions and author of "From Invisible to Invincible, the natural menopause revolution.

We get a bit sciencey, but I firmly believe that the more you understand WHY the habits that Jenn recommends are important, you'll be more inclined to do them. I also believe that when you understand a bit about how your body works, you'll be able to ask better questions and have a more active role alongside your healthcare practitioner.

Join our conversation to learn

✔️ The other factors you'll want to consider in this stage of your life
✔️ Simple strategies to minimize hot flushes
✔️ Strategies on how to get started preparing for menopause

Can food freedom and weight loss goals co-exist?

Can you love your body and still want to lose weight?

Can you have discipline without rigidity?

In a world of polarized views, it's easy to fall into the trap of black and white thinking, and to end up confused and stuck in a pattern or all-or-nothing actions.

If you want to find that middle ground of consistency and sustainability, WHILE getting results and loving the journey, you're going to want to listen to my conversation with Jess Brown.

We cover:

💕Why it can be so hard to just listen to your body and start intuitive eating when you're breaking the diet cycle
💕The difference between discipline and obsession
💕How to determine if your diet is right for YOU
💕The impact your gut has on emotional and stress eating

Jessika Brown is a mom, wife, boss and is super passionate about health.

As a Registered Dietitian (RD) she has been working in the health industry for the last 13 years. Jess runs a medical nutrition therapy clinic and is an adjunct professor for nutrition at the University of New Mexico. She has certifications in Eating Disorders (CEDRD) and Sports Dietetics (CSSD). Jess has been trained as a Certified Wellness Coach and American Council on Exercise Group Fitness Instructor. Her passion project is hosting the Fuel Her Awesome Podcast.

One of her passions is public speaking and she has done so in several settings including speaking at corporate events, the New Mexico Dietetic Association Annual Conference, and TedxABQ Main Event. Check out her TEDx talk- “A Healthy Cause to Find a Healthy You.”

Spending so much time in the world of nutrition, mixed with a history of an eating disorder and the reality of being a mama to the stereotypical “mac and cheese and chicken nugget” kids – Jess has grown into a relationship with food and her body that is somewhere between intention and grace, discipline with sprinkles of flexibility. When she is not working you will likely find her somewhere in the mountains with her family and a cup of coffee in hand.
