In this episode, Zane Griggs and I unpack a conversation grounded in both lived experience and years of hands-on coaching.We share our journeys of living and coaching a low-carb lifestyle for years, including approaches like keto and carnivore. At one point, we fully believed this was the optimal path for health, fat loss, and metabolic healing because for a period of time, it did work.But over time, things started to shift.We open up about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) negative effects we began experiencing ourselves and what we started noticing in our clients. From hormonal imbalances and energy crashes to digestive issues and increased stress on the body, we break down how these approaches can eventually backfire when used long-term or without proper context.This episode is not about bashing low-carb approaches, it’s about bringing nuance, awareness, and honesty to the conversation.We walk you through what led both of us to transition away from restrictive low-carb protocols and toward a more balanced, whole foods-based approach that includes healthy carbohydrates. We talk about how this shift supported better energy, improved digestion, hormonal balance, and overall sustainability- not just for us, but for the people we coach.You’ll also hear how we guided that transition both personally and with clients, without fear, without extremes, and without undoing progress.If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of restriction, or you’re questioning whether your current approach is truly serving your body long-term, this episode will give you a new lens to look through.Where to find us:Zane Griggs- Instagram: @zanegriggsfitness Meghann Hempel- Instagram: @Meghann.AliceIf this episode resonated with you, be sure to share it with someone who needs to hear it and tag us so we can connect with you.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with my friend Sean, a former firefighter and first responder from California, to have an honest conversation about life after service—and the realities many don’t see behind the uniform.Sean and I share a unique connection: we both faced the life-altering experience of having to medically retire earlier than expected. In this episode, we open up about what that transition really looks like—mentally, emotionally, and physically—and how it forces you to redefine your identity and purpose.Sean courageously shares his story of serving on the front lines, the cumulative trauma he experienced, and how it ultimately led to a diagnosis of PTSD. We dive into the silent battles that so many first responders face, often behind closed doors, and the stigma that can prevent people from seeking help.This conversation is not just about struggle, it’s about awareness, healing, and hope.What We Cover in This Episode:⬇️•Sean’s journey as a firefighter and first responder in California•The reality of cumulative trauma and how PTSD develops over time•Breaking the stigma around mental health in the first responder community•Practical tools and methods to support healing from PTSDIf you’re struggling, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it in silence.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with my client Benson to share his incredible health transformation journey. Benson didn’t just lose weight — he completely changed the trajectory of his life.After struggling with sugar addiction, weight gain, and Type 2 diabetes, Benson reached a turning point. His biggest motivation wasn’t appearance… it was his family. He wanted to be present, healthy, and able to live a long, full life free from modern-day chronic disease.Through consistent lifestyle changes, healing his relationship with food, and focusing on sustainable habits, Benson has:• Lost over 115 pounds• Reversed his Type 2 diabetes• Reduced and eliminated multiple medications• Broken free from sugar addiction• Improved his overall physical, mental, and emotional healthIn this conversation, Benson shares what life looked like before making changes, the challenges he faced while overcoming sugar addiction, and the mindset shifts that helped him stay committed to long-term health.

In today’s episode, I’m giving you a tough-love reminder that so many people need to hear: If the scale messes with your head… put it away. Especially if you’re in early food sobriety, food addiction recovery, or ANY kind of eating disorder healing.Because here’s the truth: The scale can sabotage your progress faster than anything else. One number can send you spiraling, trigger old behaviors, or make you feel like everything you’re doing “isn’t working”even when your body is healing.If you’re focusing on your health, cleaning up your habits, staying free from destructive patterns, and creating a new way of living…The LAST thing you need is a number dictating your worth, your mood, or your direction.This is your reminder: You are NOT defined by a number. Your’re healing, your habits, and your freedom matter WAY more.Make sure to follow the show and leave a review!

In this episode, I’m getting real about something that changed the entire trajectory of my life: learning how to face fear instead of letting it run my life.Most people see confidence as something you’re born with. I wasn’t.For the majority of my life, I struggled deeply with self-doubt, fear of failure, fear of being seen, fear of judgment, fear of almost everything. Eventually, I hit a point where I was just sick and tired of living that way. Sick of playing small. Sick of letting fear decide my future.So I made a decision, I started facing every single fear, one by one, even when it was uncomfortable, messy, and terrifying.That’s when everything changed.In this episode, we talk about:•Why fear isn’t a stop sign, it’s a signal•How confidence is built•Why failure is not failure at all, but redirection, feedback, and wisdom•How consistently challenging your fears makes you unstoppable•What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready and take action anywayConfidence isn’t something you find, it’s something you build through action.If you’re tired of holding yourself back, repeating the same cycles, or watching life pass you by because of fear… this episode is for you.Ready to take the next step?

In today’s episode, I open up about two of my biggest nightmares, the moments that felt like my world was falling apart… only to become the very things that shaped me, redirected me, and blessed me in ways I never expected.We all face seasons that feel impossible. Seasons where we’re on our knees wondering, “Why me?”But in those moments, we have a choice: We can play the victim, or we can choose to rise.This episode is a reminder that the hardest seasons are often the most important ones. They stretch us, refine us, and force us to grow in ways comfort never could, and when everything feels like it’s falling apart, there’s a good chance it’s actually God piecing your life back together in a new, better way.I share how those “nightmares” in my own life became my greatest blessings and how yours can, too.

You have to MOVE. You have to step, act, decide, and show up even when it feels uncomfortable, even when it feels scary, and even when you’re walking through a season you don’t understand yet.I share how grateful I am for where my life is now, and how none of it happened by chance. It happened because I got tired of staying stuck and finally chose action over excuses.We also talk about the hard truth nobody likes to say out loud: Sometimes, you have to go through hell to get to the other side. Sometimes you have to lose things, outgrow people, or walk through seasons that feel brutal… just to arrive at the life that was meant for you all along.This episode is your quick jolt of motivation, a reminder that your future doesn’t change until you do.

In today’s episode, Meghann sits down with Coach Mary Roberts for a raw, honest conversation about what the early stages of food sobriety really look like — and why support isn’t just helpful… it’s essential.So many people think early sobriety is the first 30 or 60 days, but the truth is, early food sobriety is anywhere from 6 to 18 months. This is the phase where your brain, body, emotions, and identity are still rewiring, and it’s also the phase where most people either thrive… or slip right back into old patterns.Together, Meghann and Mary unpack:⬇️Why “willpower” is not enough🛑The dangers of going it alone🛑How community accelerates healing🛑Why accountability is highest-value during months 0–24 months 🛑How support helps you navigate triggers, danger zones, stress, loneliness, and identity shifts🛑What real transformation looks like when you have the right people in your cornerThis episode is for anyone who’s tired of starting over, tired of feeling alone, and finally ready to understand why long-term support is the most powerful tool for lasting food freedom.Where to Find Coach Mary RobertsInstagram: @coachmaryrobertsWebsite: https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.comWhere to Find MeghannInstagram: @Meghann.AliceWebsite: www.brainbodyandbeyondllc.comIf you like the show, please make sure to subscribe and leave a review!

In this episode, I open up about why I made the decision to step away from keto and carnivore — and how that choice completely transformed my health, my mindset, and my relationship with food.For years, I believed that strict food rules were the only way to maintain freedom from food addiction. But what I eventually realized was that my body was suffering. My energy was crashing, my hormones were off, and deep down, I knew I wasn’t thriving — I was just surviving.Facing my fears around Whole Food carbs was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. As someone who’s struggled with food addiction and disordered eating for most of my life, reintroducing carbs felt terrifying. But the truth is — it wasn’t Whole Foods that were the problem… it was processed foods.Freedom from food addiction isn’t about cutting out entire food groups forever. It’s about learning to trust yourself again, to nourish your body with real, Whole Foods, and to finally live in alignment with what your body truly needs to thrive.If you’re ready to find that level of freedom — the kind where food no longer controls you — you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and I can help you get there too.💬 Connect with me on Instagram @Meghann.Alice🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share the show if this message resonated with you.

In this episode, I open up about the big shift I’ve made in my own nutrition journey, bringing whole food carbs back into my diet while still remaining extremely low-carb.For years, keto and carnivore served a massive purpose in my recovery from food addiction, disordered eating, and even other health challenges. Those approaches gave me the structure and healing I needed during a critical time in my life.But as I’ve stepped into training harder and focusing on my athletic performance and energy, I realized something needed to change. Staying low-carb works for me, but now I also make room for strategic whole food carbs to support recovery, performance, and sustainable energy.The truth is—there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to nutrition. It’s about individuality, listening to your body, and honoring your specific needs in each season of life. It’s time to break free from the stigma and dogma around diet labels and lean into what actually works for you.If this episode resonated with you, make sure to like and follow the show so you don’t miss future conversations.

In this episode, I open up about why I do what I do and how my business first came into fruition. What started as coaching around sugar addiction quickly became so much more, both for myself and my clients.I share how what seemed like a simple focus on food actually unlocked deeper layers of transformation. As clients began breaking free from sugar and food addiction, they started experiencing freedom in other areas of life. Health, mindset, confidence, relationships, and their overall vision for the future.That realization sparked a shift in my coaching: this isn’t just about food anymore. It’s about full life transformation. It’s about helping people rise to new levels, get unstuck, and start creating a life they’re absolutely obsessed with living.If you’re ready to stop settling and start experiencing real change from the inside out, this episode is for you.If today’s episode resonated with you and you’re ready to step into your next level, I’d love to connect.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why you won’t see me posting every single thing I eat on Instagram.Here’s the truth: when it comes to food and health, comparison is everywhere. The moment I share a meal, people start wondering if that’s exactly what my clients are eating, too. And that’s where confusion sets in.The reality? Every single client I work with gets an individualized approach—because there’s no one-size-fits-all plan, especially when it comes to food addiction and long-term health.Just because something works for me doesn’t mean it will work for you. What I eat is based on my own needs, my own health history, and the season of life I’m in right now.I don’t put labels on my way of eating—no “keto,” “carnivore,” or “low-carb” boxes. I simply eat what makes me feel my best, focusing on real, whole foods from the earth.I do share in this episode what my current diet looks like, but remember—your path should be yours. My job as a coach is to help you find the way of eating that works best for your body, your goals, and your life.If you’re ready to work together and create your own personalized plan for lasting health and food freedom, reach out!📲 Find me on social media:Instagram: @Meghann.AliceFacebook: Meghann Hempel

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the often overlooked reality of living with invisible injuries and illnesses — and the mental and emotional battle that comes with it. It can feel incredibly discouraging and frustrating when you don’t know how to fully trust your body. Some days, simple movements feel harder. Some days, it feels like your body is working against you. But here’s the truth: that doesn’t mean you should stop pursuing a health journey.In fact, it means you should pursue it even harder — with more intention, compassion, and adaptability.We can’t always control the setbacks, but we can control our mindset, the foods we fuel our body with, and the choices we make daily. Nutrition becomes even more important when movement isn’t always possible. Even on the hard days, we can show up with grace, patience, and self-love.I also touch on why you can never judge a book by its cover. So many people you see every day may look fine on the outside, but inside, they’re fighting battles you can’t see. Invisible struggles are real — and it’s time we start acknowledging them, and learning how to support ourselves and others through them.This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence, adaptation, and giving yourself permission to keep showing up, no matter what the day looks like.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get emphasized enough: the critical importance of prioritizing your health as a first responder — especially if you’re a woman working in a male-dominated field like the fire service.Let’s be real: biologically, women aren’t as naturally strong as men — that’s not opinion, that’s science. If you want to take your career seriously and truly protect the lives you’re responsible for, you must be intentional about your fitness. Endurance, strength training, and resilience are non-negotiables. You need to be able to physically keep up — and sometimes, work even harder — to meet the demands of the job.As first responders, you are walking and talking examples of health — or at least, you should be. Yet too many are not. And here’s the reality:•Sleepless nights•High stress•Constant fight-or-flight states•Repeated exposure to toxinsAll of these factors are working against you and your health every single day. If you are not operating at your best mentally, physically, and emotionally, how can you show up and perform your job at its best? Other people’s lives depend on you — but so does yours.It’s time to stop putting your health on the back burner. It’s time to prioritize you. Because when you take care of your health, you’re not just prolonging your career — you’re saving lives, starting with your own.

In this short and sweet, powerful and personal episode, I dive deep into the truth about confidence and it’s probably not what you’ve been told.Confidence isn’t something we’re born with. It’s something we build. I open up about my own story, growing up with deep insecurities and absolutely no confidence. For years, I doubted myself, shrunk myself, and stayed in the shadows.But here’s what changed everything… I started doing the hard things. I showed up when it felt impossible. I followed through on my promises to myself. I did what scared me the most.And brick by brick, I built the unshakable confidence I have today.
