35. How to Lose Fat, Build Muscle, and Feel Strong Again with Loren Mattingly

Welcome back to the Gurl Gone Green Podcast. Today's episode is such a good one, especially if you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or burnt out by fitness and dieting. For years, I thought eating less and doing more cardio was the answer. I didn't understand why I felt puffy, tired, inflamed, or why my body wasn't responding the way I wanted it to- especially as I got older and after having kids. In this episode, I'm sitting down with my Faster Way coach Loren Mattingly to talk about what actually works for real-life women: fueling your body with enough protein, lifting weights, training smarter, not harder and why under-eating can actually work against you. We're breaking down fat loss, muscle building, metabolism, and how to approach fitness in a way that supports your hormones, your energy, and your lifestyle, without extremes or perfection. If you're ready to feel strong, confident, and energized again, this conversation is for you. Let's get into it.
