If you're still walking into the gym just focusing on weight loss, you need to listen to this. Your metabolism isn't broken. You don't need to keep cutting calories. And you don't need to start training for a marathon. You need to focus on building muscle. In this episode, I'm breaking down the...

If you're anything like me, you spent years thinking you need to do more to get more. I've finally learnt the truth. Doing more can be just as detrimental as not doing anything. It's all about finding the sweet spot that works for you. This applies to both training and your results in the gym…

EP #9 - Skinnytok, body positivity and other concerns in the health & fitness industry
Fitness industry fads are often just that - fads. They come, and more often than not, they go again.

"What do you eat?" "What are your macros?" "How many times a week do you train?" Chances are, if you've ever wanted to lose weight or change your body composition, you've asked someone these questions. I get asked them all the time. But if I'm being honest - the answer to these questions won't…

EP #6 - Your ideal life won’t become a reality until you make it one
We can all wish for a different life - but what does it actually take to make it a reality? For some of us, we want to make big changes. For others, it's small tweaks. But in most cases, we wait until something changes in order to start living the life that aligns to the reality we want to…

EP #5 - My honest opinion on the role of a PT for women
Not every PT is the same. But honestly, I think the role of a PT is so much more than exercise prescription, programming & accountability. Being a PT and women's health & fitness coach is a role I don't take lightly - we have the future of someone's health in our hands and the way we support...

EP #2 - Why shrinking ourselves is costing us more than just our health
Skinnytok is trending. There has been a shift back to glorifying ultra lean bodies again. I thought this fad died in the 90s, but like flares and low rise jeans, it's making a comeback - and unlike your favourite fashion trends...it's not for the best. So - I'm here to talk about why this focus…
