What happens after losing 65 lbs with Kendal Bezecny03 févr. 202600:26:43

Today I’m joined by Kendal, one of our coaches at The Nourished Path. We’re going to explore what a real 10 year weight loss journey can look like, with all the ups and downs that that entails.

In this conversation, Kendal shares:

  • How her gut and Crohn’s disease shaped her relationship with food

  • Why losing 65 pounds quickly didn’t prepare her for navigating “normal life”

  • What happened when she regained 20 pounds, and how maintenance changed everything

  • The mental load of being a coach while going through IVF and hormone chaos

  • Why some seasons of life simply aren’t compatible with fat loss

We also dig into the three phases of a fat loss journey—fat loss, rebuilding, and maintenance—and why maintenance is the unsung hero of long-term success.

Progress isn’t linear, life is messy, and sometimes maintaining (or simply not sliding as far as you once would have) is the win.

Why Eating Less and Training Harder Slows Weight Loss20 janv. 202600:20:14

Eat less, move more, lose weight. On paper, it’s simple and tidy. In real life, your body get a vote.

I see the same two strategies over and over that feel smart but quietly derail progress: cutting calories as low as possible and piling on more workouts. Both look disciplined. Both often backfire.

Weight loss stalls. Hunger spikes. Energy tanks. Motivation fades. Instead of blaming willpower, let's slow things down and look at what the body is actually responding to, and why moderation tends to outperform extremes over time.

Realistic weight loss goals in a fake world01 janv. 202600:24:06

Let’s be so for real about weight loss goals for a minute.

Magazines still promise “10 pounds in a weekend,” influencers are crash-dieting before vacations, and meanwhile you’re just trying to figure out:

  • What’s actually realistic for my body?

  • How long is this going to take?

  • And how do I know if I’m even making progress?

Let’s dig into how to set weight loss goals that are both ambitious and realistic. The kind that work with real life, not against it. Kids, travel, PMS, late-night cereal cravings… all of it.

2025 Wrapped: Behind the Scenes at The Nourished Path16 déc. 202500:21:57

December tends to slow things down just enough to notice what usually gets missed. I went behind the scenes of the podcast, client work, and the business as a whole, expecting a few straightforward patterns. But, as always, reality isn’t that simple!


I share what I noticed about which podcast episodes performed best, where new clients actually came from, and what really predicts success in nutrition coaching. I also talk through why ads didn’t work for me, why referrals continue to matter most, and how weight loss medications like Ozempic are changing the landscape of nutrition coaching going into 2026.

People Pleasing and the Holidays with Katie McKenna LMHC02 déc. 202500:34:16

The holidays are officially… a lot. There’s the food, obviously. But there’s also the family dynamics, the travel, the “just have another slice!” comments, and that sneaky pull to keep everyone else happy while quietly abandoning what you actually want and need.

In this episode, I’m joined by licensed mental health therapist Katie McKenna, a licensed mental health therapist (LMHC) and certified nutritionist who specializes in eating disorders, anxiety, and chronic illness. Together, we dig into the emotional side of holiday eating and the practical strategies you can use so you don’t roll into January feeling like a hungover Pinterest board.

We talk about how to prepare for events ahead of time, how to spot when eating is “not about the eating,” and how people pleasing around food is often really self-abandonment in disguise. You’ll hear ideas for starting non-food traditions (crafts, walks, projects), ways to handle comments about what’s on your plate, and how to deal with food gifts and leftovers without turning into a human trash can.

Motion Is Medicine: Fixing Inflammation Through Circulation with Adam Hewitt18 nov. 202500:27:17

Have you been feeling sore lately, or just a little “off” in your body? It might not be your workouts or your age…it could be your circulation.

Meet Adam Hewitt, one of fewer than ten practitioners in the world trained in Sennin-So Shiatsu, a 650-year-old Japanese healing art focused on restoring circulation and balance through precise touch and pressure (think acupuncture without needles).

We talk about how inflammation really works, why poor blood flow can leave you feeling sore and slow, and simple ways to get things moving.


Find Adam at his website here for more about Sennin-So Shiatsu. He has an office in Kirkland Washington, and I highly recommend a visit! He also holds regular workshops for massage therapists and other body work practitioners.

How Heather Stopped Making Excuses (and You Can Too)04 nov. 202500:33:19

Heather Stevenson shares how she stopped making excuses and took back control of her health.

After years of putting herself last with caring for family, running multiple businesses, and dealing with several serious health issues, Heather decided she was done making excuses. She stopped numbing with food and alcohol, and rebuilt her confidence one small choice at a time.

We dig into the mindset shifts that helped her lose nearly 50 pounds, quit drinking, and finally feel strong again. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or “too far gone,” Heather’s story is proof that you can always start again, and it’s never too late to own your path.

And, of course, shoutout to Heather’s coach Trisha! If you’d like to get support on your weight loss journey, learn about The Nourished Path here.

Fuel and Recovery for Hyrox, Marathon, or Race Day with Dr Sean Roberts23 sept. 202500:36:10

Signed up for the hyrox in December? Or maybe you’ve got a marathon, triathlon, or other race circled on the calendar? Let’s talk about how your nutrition and recovery should change along with your training!

I’m joined by Sean Roberts, Chiropractor and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist in Woodinville, Washington. Sean is not only a chiropractor, but also an avid F45 member and has completed many events over the years. He’s been seeing an increase in the number of injuries leading up to competition day in his patients, and hopefully we can help shed some light on how you might need to change your life so you stay healthy!

What HYROX actually is: 1 km runs paired with functional workout stations (sled pushes, farmer carries, wall balls, etc.), repeated eight times. Even if you’re not doing HYROX, these tips apply to other events like marathons, obstacle races, or any big fitness goal where your body is being pushed hard.

Topics Covered:

  • Changing your movements to avoid injury

  • The role of protein and carbs in your workouts

  • Timing your nutrition around your training

  • Hydration & electrolytes

  • Race-day nutrition.

  • Changing your goals: weight loss vs. performance

  • Recovery strategies: sleep, rest days, and active recovery that actually helps.

Finance and Food: Your Health 401k with Clint Campbell, CFP11 sept. 202500:34:46

Today we’re covering two “taboo” subjects: Nutrition and Finance. Amazingly though, there are SO many similarities between the two, and I’ve found that sometimes thinking about a topic from a different angle can help us understand it in a different way.

I’m joined by my husband, Clint Campbell, who is a financial advisor and head of Soundview Financial Group with offices in Washington, Maine and Montana. He’s also a CFP, fiduciary, and has been named Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors in 2023, 2024, and 2025!

Clint has lost 70 lbs himself (I helped him with the last 20) and has a unique perspective on how similar financial advising and nutrition coaching are.

Supplements Unpacked: What’s Worth It and What’s Not with Trisha Caton, RD20 août 202500:32:02

Supplements can be helpful, but only if you’ve got the basics covered first. In this episode, fellow Registered Dietitian and Nourished Path coach Trisha joins me in breaking down some of the most common questions we get about vitamins, minerals, and trendy powders. From CoQ10 and creatine to magnesium and iron, we dig into what’s worth considering, what’s overhyped, and what to skip altogether.


You’ll hear us share real client stories (like the one spending $300 a month on pills before we cut it down to just a few essentials), practical supplement tips, and why food should always come first.


What we cover in this episode:

  • Why supplements should supplement, not replace, healthy habits

  • CoQ10 for heart health: what the research really says

  • The handful of basics we actually recommend (multivitamin, vitamin D, calcium, iron, magnesium)

  • When creatine makes sense and how to take it

  • Common pitfalls with supplements (duplication, poor absorption, or marketing hype)

  • Food-based ways to boost iron and vitamin C for better absorption

  • Signs you might be overdoing it with certain vitamins (like B6)

  • How to think critically about supplement marketing claims

By the end, you’ll have a clear framework for deciding what’s actually worth your money—and when you’d be better off buying vegetables instead.

The Perfectionist Trap: Eating, Control, and Burnout with Katie McKenna LMHC15 juil. 202500:30:08

If you’ve ever said, “I’m either all in or completely off the rails,” this episode is for you.

Today, I’m joined by Katie McKenna, a licensed mental health therapist (LMHC) and certified nutritionist who specializes in eating disorders, anxiety, and chronic illness.

We’re digging into perfectionism and the all-or-nothing mindset—how it shows up around food, how it sabotages progress, and why being “imperfect” might be exactly what you need.

Topics Covered:

  • What perfectionism actually looks like in day-to-day eating

  • Why black-and-white thinking leads to burnout (and bingeing)

  • The myth of needing to “get it right” 100% of the time

  • How to pause and reflect without shame

  • Why the middle path is harder—but also way more sustainable

Katie and I come at this from two different angles, from my perspective as a dietitian, her's as a therapist. You’ll hear how those perspectives blend together to help clients navigate change in a real, doable way.

Do You Really Need Electrolytes, or is it Just Marketing?01 juil. 202500:20:01

Electrolyte drinks like LMNT, Liquid IV, Nuun, Ultima and more are everywhere!


But is it all just marketing hype? Are electrolytes something you actually should be supplementing with? In my opinion - maybe. It depends on your exercise, the time of year, and more.


Topics covered:

  • What electrolytes are.
  • How you can get each of the electrolytes.
  • Do you need to supplement?
  • What you should look for in a supplement.
  • How to get electrolytes from food.



Tired of “Eating Clean” and then Going Off the Rails? Let’s Talk Balance17 juin 202500:23:10

Ah, balance. That magical word we all say we want—until we realize we have no idea what it actually means.


Is it eating grilled chicken and broccoli five days a week so you can go wild on a cheeseboard and wine on Saturday night? (Spoiler: that’s not it.)


In this episode, I break down what real-life balance looks like—from what’s on your plate to how your meals are spaced throughout the day so you’re not eating a pile of gummy bears at 9pm.


Topics Discussed:

  • How to build a balanced meal

  • Why sauce counts (and why I’ll never touch your coffee order, promise)

  • The sneaky way “just a little” sugar adds up across the day

  • Why your weekends might be sabotaging your progress

  • How to prep for busy seasons so you’re not living off cold string cheese and regret


Balance isn’t perfection. It’s not eating perfectly Monday–Friday and then letting chaos reign. It’s structure and flexibility. And in this episode, we’ll help you find your version.

How to Eat Better While Camping with Coach Trisha03 juin 202500:27:49

I’ll be honest: camping is not my thing. But I know a lot of you love it, and when it comes to staying on track with nutrition while you’re out in the woods, it can feel like a bit of a mess. That’s why I brought in Coach Trisha, who does camp and has figured out how to keep meals balanced (and still fun).


We talked all things car camping - from what to pack in your cooler (yes, you might want two!) to how to prep simple meals like skillet dinners, breakfast egg scrambles, and even walking tacos. We talk about the "all weekend snack-fest" trap, prepping ahead for post-camping Mondays, and how to think through food choices so you can enjoy that s’more and feel good in your body.


And if you’re doing more hiking than camping, don’t miss our previous episode that dives into food and fuel for the trails!


Topics Discussed:

  • Car camping basics

  • Easy meal ideas

  • Snack and protein tips for the outdoors

  • How to avoid grazing all day

  • Post-camping recovery

  • Fitting in fun foods like s’mores

  • Alcohol, hydration, and food safety

Hiking Podcast

How to Fuel for your Hike While Losing Weight with Trisha Caton RD20 mai 202500:28:10

If you’ve ever hit the trail with good intentions and come back wondering why am I so hungry for three days straight? — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by Coach Trisha (fellow hiking buddy and nutrition nerd), and we’re talking all about how to fuel your hike without overdoing it. Because yes, hiking is great exercise... but that doesn’t mean it earns you an all-you-can-eat burger and fries plus a beer at the bottom.

We’ll walk you through what to eat before, during, and after your hike—especially if you’re trying to lose weight or just stay on track with your goals. From car snacks and salty Rice Krispies to sneaky electrolytes and why your protein bar might be working against you, we’ve got your back.

We also get real about what hiking actually burns (spoiler: probably not 2,000 calories) and how to keep the “I earned this” mentality from undoing your progress.

Whether you’re new to hiking or a seasoned trail pro, you’ll leave this episode with tips you can actually use on your next outdoor adventure.

Topics Discussed:

  • Fueling before your hike

  • What to eat while hiking

  • How many calories you're actually burning on a hike

  • Hydration

  • Overeating after your hike is over

Is Intermittent Fasting a Good Idea? with guest Trisha, RD25 mars 202500:25:52

Could skipping breakfast actually be the secret to sustainable weight loss? Or is it just a fad? This episode throws the limelight on the popular dietary practice - intermittent fasting.

I'm not eating much but still can't lose weight?? What gives??11 mars 202500:28:07

Why is it that we can feel like we're not eating very much, but can't seem to lose weight, or maybe have even been gaining a few pounds?

If you're asking yourself this question - you're not alone! I hope that today's episode can shine a bit of light on this phenomenon and help you understand "calories in vs calories out", why sometimes we can be eating more than we think, and ideas for what to do next.

I feel like I could probably talk more about this topic, so if you'd like to hear more send me a message with your question and I might do a part 2 on this in the future!

When a Registered Dietitian Needs a Coach with guest Olivia Holloman RDN25 févr. 202500:31:39

What's a Registered Dietitian? And why do some Registered Dietitians seem to not know anything about how to help you lose weight?

Today's special guest Olivia is a double feature - she's both one of our clients at The Nourished Path, and also a Registered Dietitian herself.

Even with all of her knowledge, she felt stuck when it came to losing weight herself. She worked out at Orange Theory multiple days a week, and in theory knew what she should be doing but was having a hard time putting that knowledge into action!

But with coach Trisha's support, the last 8 months Olivia has lost 30 lbs, and 5 inches off her waist. 

We will also talk about the difference between a Registered Dietitian and a nutritionist, common misconceptions about our field, and why it's important to know a Registered Dietitian's specialty before working with them

Are your workouts increasing your cortisol levels?14 janv. 202500:21:36

We talk about:

Amber has made incredible progress—losing 30 pounds and three dress sizes—all while managing rheumatoid arthritis and reducing inflammation.

Her journey is truly inspiring, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

  • Why previous approaches didn’t work: Amber shares her experience with a registered dietitian who gave her generic advice that didn’t address her specific needs.

  • Coach Kendal's support: From tackling inflammation through nutrition to focusing on adding nutrients rather than restricting food.

  • Practical anti-inflammatory strategies: The role of high-protein options like lactose-free cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, and avoiding triggers like fried foods, sugar, and dairy.

  • Mindset shifts for success: Why focusing on what you can add to your diet (like fruits, veggies, and protein) is more sustainable than a restrictive approach.

  • Gym recovery improvements: Amber explains how reducing inflammation and improving nutrition helped her recover faster from strength training.

When Weight Loss Isn’t Linear: Ripal's Inspiring Journey12 nov. 202400:35:16

Let's explore Ripal's transformative two-year journey to losing almost 60 pounds—double her original goal! Ripal's story is an incredible example of resilience and persistence, especially after trying multiple weight loss programs like Weight Watchers, Stronger U, and Noom without success.

Ripal's journey took some unexpected turns - and with the help of the fantastic coach Trisha she uncovered a medical condition (PCOS) that was standing in her way. This experience highlights how important it is to advocate for yourself when you feel something is off, even when it’s easy to get written off—especially as women.

We also talk about the value of building solid nutritional habits, focusing on protein, and getting personalized coaching to fit busy lifestyles. Ripal learned to navigate life as a vegetarian and working in a high-stress hospital environment.

Hydrate to be Great!30 sept. 202400:16:21

The best detox you can do for your body is to drink enough water.

Navigating Perfectionism in Eating with guest Shane Rogers17 sept. 202400:31:55

You can’t always be perfect in your eating. It’s not possible.

First of all - there is no “perfect” way to eat. If you go on the internet for 5 minutes you’ll see people who say you should eat oats, and then people who say they are bad for you. Drink water, but not too much. Sugar is bad, but not if its in fruit, but wait even then yes don’t eat it.

You can’t win. So many people say “why even try??”. You throw up your hands and give up.

That’s what Shane struggled with. I’m so excited to have him on the podcast today to share his story - he lost 30 lbs with the guidance and support of coach Trisha. And he did while being told to actually eat more carbs! He got stronger in his Tonal workouts at home, even while he was losing bodyfat.

Menopause Couldn't Stop Debbie! 20 août 202400:33:12

Get ready to be inspired! Debbie is a straight shooter - and she was tired of letting menopause call the shots.


The methods that used to work just weren't cutting it anymore, and Debbie was tired of spinning her wheels. And that's in a literal sense - her peloton and crossfit workouts were great but it wasn't helping her make the progress she needed.


She tried working with another nutrition coach, but they didn't really know how to help her because she also had a digestive condition (Crohn's Disease). They kept trying to fit her into a meal plan that just wasn't going to work for her.


But coach Kendal has been a total GAME CHANGER for Debbie! She's lost 30 lbs in the last 7 months, and 7.5 inches off her waist (3 dress sizes!)


Debbie is proof that menopause or a medical condition doesn't make it impossible to lose weight. She just needed the right guidance.


Check out Debbie's progress here, and see our reviews on what its like to have the support of a personal online nutrition coach to meet your weight loss goals!

How to Rock a Vegetarian Indian Diet for Weight Loss with Janani Kumar25 juin 202400:33:17

If you’re a vegetarian, or follow an Indian diet (or both) and struggling to incorporate enough protein into your diet or wondering how to make your traditional meals work for your nutrition and health goals, this episode is for you!

This episode is packed with practical tips and delicious ideas for anyone trying to balance their cultural diet with their fitness goals. Janani’s story is a testament to the fact that you don’t have to give up your favorite foods to be healthy – it’s all about making smart choices and adjustments.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Personalized Nutrition is Key: Despite working out consistently at Orangetheory, she wasn't seeing the changes she wanted. The missing piece? Nutrition that made sense for her life! That’s when she found us at The Nourished Path and started working with the amazing coach Trisha.

  2. Small Tweaks, Big Changes: From reducing sugar in her chai to switching to non-fat Greek yogurt, Janani shows how minor adjustments can significantly impact your diet. It’s all about those little changes – like swapping paneer for tofu or choosing low-fat dairy options – that can help you hit your protein goals without sacrificing taste.

  3. Importance of Portion Control: One major revelation for Janani was understanding serving sizes and reading nutrition labels. This helped her avoid those sneaky calorie traps, like thinking a bag of chips was a single serving when it was actually meant for four!

  4. Protein-Packed Recipes: Janani shares ideas like her post-workout Greek yogurt smoothie with Vega protein and fruits. Yum! She also loves making dosa with a protein twist, like adding tofu, and incorporating high-protein snacks like dry roasted edamame.

  5. Mindful Eating: Janani’s journey highlights the importance of mindful eating. By planning her meals and snacks, she ensured she was getting enough protein while still enjoying her favorite foods. Plus, she found that balancing her macros made her workouts more effective.

  6. Stay Hydrated: Another game-changer for Janani was increasing her water intake. She uses a motivational water bottle with time markers to keep her on track. Hydration is often overlooked, but it's crucial for overall health and weight loss.

What's Actually Important for Fat Loss? Introducing the Nutrition Pyramid (not the one you are thinking of)09 avr. 202400:23:06

Today's podcast episode is all about cutting through the noise and getting down to the nitty-gritty of what really matters when it comes to your nutrition game. There's a lot of overwhelming information out there, so we're going to dial it back into the most important stuff.

We're diving into the key insights from the nutrition pyramid, a concept crafted by the renowned Eric Helms.

Picture this: a pyramid with the most crucial factors at the bottom, supporting the less significant ones at the top. At the base of our pyramid is energy balance—calories in versus calories out. Yep, that's the golden rule. No matter how many vitamins and minerals you're packing in, if you're overdoing it on the calorie front, you won't see the results you're after.

Next up, we've got macronutrients—carbs, protein, and fat. These bad boys make up your calories, so they're pretty darn important. But hey, don't start playing math games with your protein shake. Your body's got this covered.

Then there's micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals that keep your body ticking like a well-oiled machine. Think of them as your food quality checkpoints. You can't skimp on the good stuff and expect to thrive.

Now, let's talk timing. Meal timing and frequency are like the cherries on top of your nutritional sundae. Sure, they can make a difference, but only if you've nailed the basics first.

And finally, we've got supplements. While they can be a nice little boost, they're not miracle workers.

So there you have it! Focus on the fundamentals, and you'll be well on your way to crushing your nutrition goals.
