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,...

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...

info_outlineOn today’s episode I am joined by my former client Karlee who’s been able to lose 26 pounds and counting from our work together inside 90 Day Fit Babe Body coaching.
While many women procrastinate on starting their fitness journey because they are afraid it will be restrictive and force them to eat foods they hate – Karlee’s journey has been the exact opposite. As someone who can be somewhat of a picky eater alongside gluten and dairy free, today’s episode highlights how Karlee has been able to lose a significant amount of weight without dreading her diet.
We sit down and discuss how she overcame the dreaded yo-yo dieting cycle she used to struggle with, her secrets to tracking calories and macros that have helped her lose 26 pounds alongside how she’s found the sweet spot in her dieting approach to see results week after week without sacrificing the foods she loves.
