Frequency: 1 episode/8d. Total Eps: 191
Alicia (health coach, massage therapist, pilates instructor, meat head-hippie) explores a wide range of topics related to women's health, intuitive eating, exercise, life after sport, CrossFit, relationships, mindset, and a whole lot of random, yet seemingly important topics that distracts Alicia in her day to day life. Wellness with Alicia covers these topics in a thoughtful, exploratory, and sometimes comedic format. ie. owning and running a business, finding peace with food and exercise, her current favourite things, and why she can't start her day without a good cup of coffee. Whether it's deep diving into: Body Goals, Fitness Culture, Fat Loss, Health, Food Freedom, Pop Culture, the Dogma of Diet Culture and the Anti-Diet Movement, her love-hate relationship for social media, why she's not sure about having kids and moving to the suburbs, or talking about the ups and downs of starting and running a business as a solopreneur. Alicia aims to talk about heavy topics, light topics, share her own lived experiences, while acknowledging that as someone in her mid 30's, she has a lot to share (so many thoughts, so little time) and a lot to learn! Beyond these topics, Alicia is also a Registered Massage Therapist, Pilates instructor, and has her own online Health Coaching business (Wellness with Alicia) helping women build their physiques without extremes. You can expect Alicia to share her honest struggles as a mid-30-something living in Vancouver, and topics that are taking up way too much brain space. Alicia hopes to bring something a little different to the health and fitness spaces. By speaking about these topics in a unique, conversational, and sometimes humorous way, she hopes to offer up value, provide some education, and perhaps a different point of view.

top 3 body recomposition mistakes (and how to fix them!)
Season 4 · Episode 184
lundi 24 février 2025 • Duration 56:00
Got a question? Send me a text! :)
In this episode, I’m recapping my recent trip to Mexico City, sharing my first impressions of LIB pod-dates, and then diving into the top three mistakes I see women make when trying to lose fat and gain muscle:
- Relying too much on exercise to lose weight – Over-exercising can mess with your hormones, which impacts hunger, stress, fat loss, and muscle growth.
- Focusing only on food quality and ignoring quantity – Yes, nutrient-dense foods matter, but calories still count.
- Underestimating the impact of sleep on body composition – Poor sleep throws off hunger signals, recovery, and muscle growth, making progress way harder.

girls' trip recap, LIB, and listener Q&A: from CrossFit to lifting, moderating treats, & fibre overload
Season 4 · Episode 174
mercredi 23 octobre 2024 • Duration 52:37
Got a question? Send me a text! :)
In this week's episode, I'm sharing a recap of my girls' trip to Arizona and my quick take on Love is Blind season 7. I'm also diving into airplane etiquette, offering some group travel tips, and answering listener questions.
Q: What was the biggest change you noticed in your physique when you transitioned from CrossFit to focusing more on lifting? Why do you think that change happened, and what do you attribute it to?!
Q: Can you eat too much fibre?
Q: Can you explain what RIR (Reps in Reserve) means and how it connects to progressive overload and hypertrophy?
Q: In addition to carbs, fats, salt, amount of food, etc. Does lifting or working out have an effect on weight fluctuations too? I noticed during my deload week I dropped about 3lb while maintaining all other things like calorie intake, walking, sleep, etc.
Q: How do I still include my favourite treats without going overboard? I find myself mindlessly eating certain foods, usually when I’m stressed or really hungry. But I don’t want to cut them out completely. How do I eat them in moderation?

why I left the hardcore anti-diet spaces, wedding planner, Love is Blind, and more!
Season 3 · Episode 81
samedi 5 novembre 2022 • Duration 47:25
Got a question? Send me a text! :)
This week, I'm talking about the similarities I started noticing in the online anti-diet and pro-diet spaces, and why I was feeling equally jaded by both ends of the spectrum. This ultimately led me to find my own voice and framework for how I want to hold space for my 1:1 clients without pushing my own opinions, biases, and agendas on to them. This space allows for whatever goals and desires you have when it comes to fitness, nutrition, and your body. I think something like this is severely lacking in the health and fitness spaces. Because I do believe you can create a solid relationship with food and fitness, AND have physique goals.
I'm also talking about my first call with our wedding planner, Love is Blind, and other random bits and pieces. Thanks for being here!
