The Body Lab

The Body Lab is a weekly podcast by Ashley Pardo, MLA, FNTP, and CPT. Ashley discusses approachable and evidence-based strategies for fat loss, strength training, metabolism, and muscle building - not just for your body, but for your brain. The Body Lab is different because Ashley talks about what actually helps us keep the weight off for life: behavior change, habits, eating psychology, nervous system regulation, relationships, and mental health, all through the lens of the neurodivergent and highly sensitive woman.

    281 | Finally Overcoming The Perfectionism Trap

    Perfectionism isn’t a high standard—it’s a survival mechanism designed to protect your nervous system from the anxiety of a chaotic environment or an unrealistic expectations trap.In this episode, I break down why your brain forces you into a "perfectionist freeze" or procrastination loop when your workload feels too heavy, and how to break it instantly using flexible, moving dials rather than all-or-nothing switches. If you are tired of white-knuckling your days and actually get consistent, listen in.--Apply for Ashley's Signature 1:1 Program, The Body LabApply for Ashley's Business Coaching Mentorship, SparkFollow Ashley on InstagramFollow Ashley on TikTokJoin Ashley's YouTube ChannelJoin Ashley's NewsletterAshley's Website

    277 | Underrated Nutrition Game Changer - Learning Presence as a Skill

    You know what to eat. It's just hard to do it consistently, and when this is happening, the problem isn't willpower - it's presence.Presence is the skill of being WITH yourself (your thoughts, emotions, urges) without immediately reacting. It's what lets you feel the urge to binge and NOT automatically overeat or leave your body.In this episode, I share how I developed presence as a skill after 20+ years of binge-eating, tangible tactics you can practice today, and why this is the missing piece that makes everything else work, even though it's a struggleee to practice!If you've tried restriction, tracking, meal plans, and intuitive eating - and you STILL can't get results, this episode is for you.Topics covered:What presence actually isMy personal story of developing this skillTangible tactics to build presence starting todayWhy all your strategies fail without this foundationHow long it takes to develop (and what the process looks like)--Apply for Ashley's Signature 1:1 Program, The Body LabApply for Ashley's Business Coaching Mentorship, SparkFollow Ashley on InstagramFollow Ashley on TikTokJoin Ashley's YouTube ChannelJoin Ashley's NewsletterAshley's Website

    276 | Neurodivergent Nutrition: What Your Brain Actually Needs

    You know what to eat, you just can't stay consistent.You've tried meal plans, macro tracking, intuitive eating... and nothing sticks. I promise there's nothing wrong with you - you're just not wired like that.Traditional nutrition plans require strong executive function, sustained self-motivation, delayed gratification, and impulse control. If you're neurodivergent or highly sensitive, your brain literally doesn't work that way. But there IS an approach that does.In this episode, I share my multi-year struggle with rigid macro coaching and what finally worked instead.I cover:The specific neurodivergent struggles that sabotage nutrition plansWhy "just be consistent" doesn't work for your brainWhat to do instead (frameworks, not rigidity)How I help neurodivergent women in Body LabIf you're exhausted from trying plans that don't work for your brain, tune in for actionable steps that you can implement immediately.--Apply for Ashley's Signature 1:1 Program, The Body LabApply for Ashley's Business Coaching Mentorship, SparkFollow Ashley on InstagramFollow Ashley on TikTokJoin Ashley's YouTube ChannelJoin Ashley's NewsletterAshley's Website
