  • In this episode, I sit down with Jen, a mother of three and grandmother of three from New Jersey, to share her incredible transformation journey inside the Fit & Free Academy.

     

    For years, Jen was running over 10 miles every day, eating the bare minimum, yet despite all her efforts, she was exhausted, struggling to play with her granddaughter, and overwhelmed with food anxiety.

     

    Jen opens up about:

     â€˘ How she was stuck in a cycle of restriction, overexercising, and obsessing over the scale.

     â€˘ The fear of weight gain that consumed her daily thoughts and how she finally overcame it.

     â€˘ How she regained her health, improved her body composition, and found food freedom.

     

    Now, Jen feels stronger, healthier, and more confident than ever. Her husband can’t stop telling her how amazing she looks, and she’s finally living her life without fear of food or exercise.

     

    This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of “more, more, more” and are ready to break free and achieve balance in your nutrition, exercise, and mindset.

    You bet I am! I’m absolutely OBSESSED with Christmas—everything from decorating the tree to, of course enjoying the food! 🎄✨ But it wasn’t always like that for me. Years ago, the holidays were a source of anxiety and stress for me when it came to food and calories.

  • I’m on such a high after an amazing conversation with my long-term client, Liz. Her story is SO inspiring, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. Liz was once just like many of you, struggling with her body image, and trapped in binge-restrict cycles. But her journey shows what’s possible when you start focusing on the right things.

     

    In this episode, we’ll dive into:

     

    - How she went from lacking confidence to being completely leaned out, free from binge-restrict cycles, and empowered in her body.

    - How she overcame her fear of food, ditched the swollen lower belly, and embraced intuitive eating.

    - The powerful mindset transformation that allowed Liz to value herself, trust her body, and take control of her own nutrition & exercise strategy.

    - The incredible shift that gave Liz the confidence to train for a half marathon and believe in her ability to achieve whatever she sets her mind to.

     

    Liz’s story is a testament to the power of valuing yourself and trusting your journey. If you’ve ever felt stuck, struggling with confidence, or chasing an idea of perfection, this episode is for you. I really hope this inspires you to take the action YOU need to create the change YOU want in your life.

  • In this episode I'm interviewing my amazing client, Claudia, who just completed her first 12 weeks inside the Fit & Free Academy. Claudia’s story is truly inspirational, and I’m so grateful she decided to share it.

     

    We dive deep into Claudia’s starting point: her struggles with under eating and over exercising—how she found herself trapped in a cycle of extremely low calories and daily workouts that consumed her life. She talks about her experience with extreme 400-500 calorie diets, as well as pushing herself with daily cardio and steps, and having little to nothing to show for it in terms of physique results.

     

    Then, we talk about where she's at right now, and how she's not only seeing ACTUAL toning results 🍑🍑, but doing it with a new-found sense of freedom and balance.

     

    I hope Claudia’s journey shows you that with the right mindset, exercise, and nutrition strategy, it’s totally possible for you to break free and achieve your goals in a sustainable, healthy way. ❤️

  • When it comes to over-eating on the weekend, there are 2 types of patterns:

     

    ⠞Pattern 1 goes a little something like this:

    You’ve been hardcore dieting all week, restricting calories, and eating “clean” foods. By the time the weekend hits, you think, “I’ve been so good, I deserve a treat.” But all of a sudden that treat turns into an explosion of so many calories. The guilt sets in, and you feel like you’ve ruined your progress. You tell yourself you need to be even stricter next week, maybe add in some extra cardio to undo the “damage.”

     

    Or maybe you’re just craving the foods you’ve deprived yourself of all week. A doughnut turns into three, and before you know it, you’ve hit the “fuck it” button, deciding to go all-out the entire weekend and start fresh on Monday.

     

    ⠞ The other one goes a little like this:

    You’re CONSTANTLY restricting because you’re terrified of eating too much and undoing your progress. But every time you go out—whether it’s a social event, a movie, or a family dinner—you lose control. You overeat, feel extreme guilt, beat yourself up for days, and then go back to hardcore restriction.

     

    The emotional toll this cycle takes is immense. It robs you of happiness, affects your relationships, and changes how you show up in all areas of your life—whether in your career, at home, with your kids, or with your partner. ❤️

     

    That’s why this episode is all about helping you break free from these destructive patterns. We’ll explore why it’s happening, so you can finally understand why you’re stuck in this cycle and how to stop it.

     

    If you’ve ever felt trapped by overeating and the guilt that follows, this episode is for you. 🔥

  • From the age of 16 to 26, food controlled my life. People admired my discipline, my dedication to the gym, and my ability to say no to high calorie “bad” foods. But the truth was, it wasn’t about health or discipline for me—it was about self-loathing and control. Food noise consumed me, and I know I’m not alone in this struggle.

     

    That’s why in this episode, we dive deep into the concept of *food noise*—that constant mental chatter about food, calories, and meal planning that can dominate your thoughts and interfere with your daily life.

     

    If you’ve ever found yourself lying in bed at night obsessing over calories, or if social events make you anxious because they don’t fit into your plan, and could therefore undo your progress, then I am talking to YOU ❤️.

     

    We’re going to cover the signs of food noise, such as:

    - Constantly worrying about food choices and feeling guilty about eating higher-calorie foods.

    - Beating yourself up for going over your calorie limit or avoiding foods because you can’t track them.

    - Being stuck in a cycle of overeating and under-eating.

     

    This episode uncovers:
    1. Why you might be experiencing food noise and how it developed.

    2. Why food noise is bad, and how it slows or even completely STOPS you from achieving body composition goals.

    3. Practical steps to silence the food noise and get back control over your life.

    4. Why it’s important to address the issue ASAP due to the long term health and mental wellbeing implications.

  • To my ladies who are still under the impression that eating more carbs is going to make them gain weight, and that they can’t achieve their dream body if they’re eating carbs…

     

    I GET IT. We see it all over social media: people saying

    “don’t eat this food”,

    “don’t eat that food”,

    “cut out carbs”,

    “do keto”

    “do paleo”…

     

    so it’s SO HARD to know what to believe, and especially if you’re not happy with your body, it’s easy to latch on to these things because they give us that little shred of hope that this could FINALLY be the thing that is going to get you to where you want to be…

     

    …but I almost GUARANTEE that if you’re doing this you’re probably also struggling with

     

    😩 Binge restrict cycles

    🥱 Low energy

    🩸 Not having your period

    📉 Not progressing in the gym…

     

    …and overall not happy with your body composition. 🫠

     

    Until you start eating carbs and actually fuelling your body correctly you’re NEVER going to see the results you want in your body, and in this episode I’m going to explain why, and how you can start including them on a daily basis, so that you can start reaching your body composition goals with EASE ✨

  • It’s crazy to me that so many women STILL think that they need to always eat in a calorie deficit, or eat really low calories, or cut out certain foods to cut their cals really low or cut out certain foods to see results in their body.

     

    As an example - one of the questions I get asked MOST as a nutritionist is “Should I be eating this food?” Or “Is this a good food, or a bad food?”

     

    It’s wild to me to how much influence diet culture still has on us today… and unfortunately it is this belief and mentality that is holding SO many women back from actually reaching their body composition goals… So do YOU have too many rules & restrictions around food? And could THAT be the thing holding you back from reaching your body composition goals?

     

    Today I take you through 4 really solid signs this is happening to you, and if you’re experiencing any of these, it’s probably a red flag you have too many restrictions in your diet and THAT’s the thing you need to look at. Not the exercise, not a different diet or meal plan, but actually your mindset that you need to work on to be successful.

  • This episode is for ALL the people in your life you hold dear to your heart. Your parents, your partner, your friends, and your CHILDREN.

     

    I struggled with my calorie and body obsession for a good 26 years of my life, and since my fiancé Niels and I have been together for 10 years, he’s pretty much seen it all! The good, the bad, and the F%^&ing UGLY.

     

    There were times where the way I treated Niels wasn’t fair at all. I was an irritable, moody bitch at times! I was cold, I was ANGRY. I know I didn’t mean any of it, and all of it had to do with the mental battle that was going on inside my head when it came to food and my body, but I still did that.

     

    That’s why this episode I'm bringing on Niels! I’ve written out a list of questions and Niels has NO IDEA what I’m going to ask him, so this interview is going to be raw, and from the heart. It’s going to be Niels’ point of view, to show you what it was REALLY like dating a person who had such low self-worth, self-esteem, and a poor relationship with food, and what it was REALLY like being married to this cold moody bitch 🙋‍♀️👈…

     

    ...AND to normalise that there’s a story behind everyone, and NO-ONE’S life is made up of just a constant social media highlight reel. 

     

    My hope is that this episode opens your eyes and shows you that fixing your constant thoughts about calories IS about you, but it’s also about ALL THE PEOPLE around you that you love, and the impact you have on them! It’s not fair on them, and it’s time to clean this S#$% up.

     

    Let me know if you like it, and I’ll bring him back on!

  • Bit of a podcast hiatus, but I’m back! ✌🏽 This episode is about chocolate!…

     

    Kidding obviously… I do love chocolate, but this episode is more about why cutting out the foods you love is the WORST way to get the body you want. It’s a cautionary tale about what happens when I cut out the food I love - CHOCOLATE, to show anyone that is currently going down that road why it’s actually not going to help you with your body composition goals at all.

     

    In this episode I want to take you back in time to tell you about my own experience when I was in my dieting and restricted era. You might look at me nowadays and think that I’ve got it all together when it comes to eating food guilt and shame free, confident in the gym and stuff, but I definitely didn’t used to be that way.

     

    I used to be TERRIFIED of eating more food. I had the WORST relationship with food, and a lot of the things I was doing I didn’t even realise were cockblocking me from actually achieving my body composition goals.

     

    I thought I had to cut out all of these foods like carbs, that I had to eat clean, and wasn’t allowed to have a milky coffee if I wanted to get the body I wanted. I thought it was my lack of willpower and discipline that kept me from reaching the body I wanted. What I didn’t realise is I was missing vital pieces in the puzzle and THAT was the real reason why I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted in my body.

     

    SO this is why I wanted to tell you about my dieting era, with all of the rules and restrictions, so that anyone that currently has ANY rules and restrictions in their diet realises they need to change their strategy because it is INEFFECTIVE.

  • What you’re doing might not actually be in alignment with what you want your body to look like… and that’s what today’s episode is all about. The 3 BIGGEST mistakes I see when people are trying to achieve a toned physique.

     

    So if you want to look freakin’ FIT AF, you want to build muscle, and get lean, but all the things you’re doing is driving you crazy, and you’re seeing seeing no results, especially for the amount of effort you’re putting in, and if you want toned glutes, a snatched waist, a firm lean body, and to do all of that without calorie counting so that you can actually see real sustainable change in your body, then this episode is for you.

     

     

    When people don’t look like they work out, they’ll typically focus on lowering their calories, and doing more exercise, but it doesn’t work, and they get confused as to why.

     

    They often think they need to lower their calories even MORE, but this completely destroys their relationship with food, and they start questioning everything they put in their mouth.

     

    “Am I eating too much?” “Will eating this make me gain fat?” etc...

     

    If you’re here you might be

    📉avoiding family dinners

    📉so food focused and fixated on calories

    📉unable to enjoy times with friends…

     

    …because if you don’t, you’re probably worried you might undo your progress, and you are scared you might gain weight, especially after all the hard work you put in to try to get to where you are now with your body.

  • What if a calorie deficit WASN’T the fastest way to reaching your body goals?

     

    What if all this time you’ve been focusing on trying to eat low calories, and burn calories with your exercise, when that’s actually taking you FURTHER AWAY from your goals?! 😱 For some people, that is absolutely a reality!

     

    So if you’re someone who’s thinking about food all the freaking time, then you’ve probably been:

    🥬tracking every single calorie you eat, down to the last lettuce leaf,

    🥬and the second you can’t track the calories (for example when you eat out) you either won’t eat it at all, OR you’ll eat it anyways, and then beat yourself up for it.

     

    You might even be making up rules and restrictions about when you should and shouldn’t eat, like:

    📉“I’ve had such a big breakfast, I should have a small lunch”

    📉“I’ve already had a piece of bread for breakfast, so I can’t have any for lunch”

    📉“I’ve already eaten too much today”

     

    And you’re probably even comparing your food to other people’s saying things to yourself like:

    😱“OMG how can I eat so much more than those people? I must be over-eating”

     

    If you’re doing 1 or more of these things I’ll bet you’re still not happy with your body composition, despite your best efforts!

     

    That’s why in this episode, we’re breaking down 8 signs you actually need to stop eating in a calorie deficit if you want to reach your body goals.

  • There’s a HUGE misconception out there that I’ve been seeing all over my TikTok comments, and that’s that people think that:

     

    “If you just lose weight, you’re gonna get a toned body”

     

    I want to challenge that challenge that, because I did that! I lost 10kg and I was still not happy with my body because I STILL didn’t look TONED.

     

    And I know this is not everyone’s goal, but for the girls want a perky butt, beautiful toned arms, and a snatched waist, you do need to be doing the right exercise and eating in the right way to achieve that.

     

    If you just want to lose a bit of weight, feel good, and have more energy, that’s a COMPLETELY different conversation…

     

    …but if you’re in the other boat like ME and you want your body to look a certain way, then your exercise, nutrition & mindset need to be in alignment with that.

     

    If you’re

    💪Showing up consistently exercising 5x a week and eating under 1400 calories

    💪Hitting step count, always closing rings on your watch

    💪Eat really well eat healthy, and always stick to your calorie targets

    🫠yet you don’t look toned/ your body doesn’t reflect the effort you’re putting in

     

    If you’re already showing up, wouldn’t you want a method that ACTUALLY works? Because for a lot of people that’s all it comes down to in the end. So in this episode, I’m going to show you how to ACTUALLY go from skinny fat to toned, and finally be freakin’ confident in your body SUSTAINABLY, ie. FOR LIFE, instead of for a couple of weeks.

  • When people don't see results with their bodies, typically the FIRST conclusion they jump to is that their NUTRITION is the problem. This might be true in some cases, but in A LOT of cases, it's actually their exercise. 

     

    Specifically, how they STRUCTURE their exercise. And look, if you're just trying to move your body to get the health benefits of exercise, and you don't have a body goal, then this episode is NOT for you...but if you want a perky butt, a snatched waist, and toned arms, and you're:

     

    showing up almost DAILY with your exercise and nutrition,

    thinking the more exercise you do, the faster you'll reach your goals,

    focused on getting sweaty fat burning workouts, and burning as many calories as you can

    feeling guilty when you have a rest day,

     

    yet you DON'T look like you work out, this episode is going to help you figure out whether your exercise is the problem, AND going to give you tangible tips you can implement that will allow you to get the most out of your exercise routine so that you ACTUALLY see results towards your toning goals 😎.
