226 - New Year, New Goal?

Happy New Year, Nerdles! This week we are catching up and celebrating the fact that we made it through the holidays and are ready to tackle another year!

We aren't big fans of new years resolutions - most people fail resolutions. But we are BIG fans of goal setting and make small changes in your life - and that's exactly what this episode is all about!

Change can feel overwhelming, especially right now when everyone is posting vision boards and talking about all of the great things they're going to do this year. Forget that - it's fluff. We are doubling down on healthy habits and behavior change this year, and invite you to come along and enjoy the ride with us.

Whatever you do - do it with INTENTION!

225 - Getting Through The Holidays

The holidays are here. Many people are simply trying to get by without losing their cool right now - and that's ok!

This week we have an open discussion about where we are in this season of life, men being able to help menopausal women, unregulated supplements and weight loss drugs, and more.

Sit back, grab a coffee or your favorite emotional support beverage, and relax for a bit. You've worked hard all year. You deserve it.

224 - The Ultra Marathon Episode

We can do hard things! Over the past few months, Beth and Matt have been talking about Matt's 50k training - and now the hard work has paid off as Matt completed his first ultra marathon.

This week we are talking about his experience, lessons learned, the resiliency needed for accomplishing something like this, and taking it one step at a time.

No matter how big your goal may be - you accomplish it by doing one thing: keeping your head down and never stopping.

223 - Can We Talk About People's Bodies?

**Warning** This episode contains talk about mental health, eating disorders, and body image.**

Hey Nerdles! There has been a huge fuss lately about a certain movie (ahem..Wicked) and the bodies of its stars. Instead of focusing on the movie and the messages within, we are once again talking about the bodies of women. In this episode, we discuss whether it's OK to talk about people's bodies or not, and how to talk about the bigger issues at hand.

We can all agree that society has unrealistic beauty standards for women. But has that beauty standard gone too far and what can we do to shift the narrative? Tune in to find out.

222 - 'Tis The Season Of Pivoting

'Tis the season! The holiday season is in full effect, with Thanksgiving being less a week away (for our American friends). This week we talk about pivoting and managing your fitness with a busy schedule!

Doctors appointments, school recitals, work commitments, managing a social life, even your own romantic relationship - there are so many events competing for your time, but what about your fitness? You deserve to be a priority, too - self care is not selfish, self care is self preservation!

We also talk about Beth's strength training journey and the progress she's making, as well as Matt's plantar fasciitis flare up and how he's handling his recovery while preparing for his 50k race in December.

221 - The Holidays Are Here. Don't Freak Out!

It's that time of year again - the holidays are upon us! Are you surprised? Well, you shouldn't be - they happy every year at the same time!

This week we talk about the holiday season and how it should be treated just like any other day - because if you need to have special rules, restrictions, and routines for the holiday, that suggest that the lifestyle you are living is too rigid and doesn't allow the flexibility you need to get through the holidays without losing your shit!

220 - Everything Doesn't Need To Be A Diet

Happy Friday Nerdles! This week we talk about dietizing everything in your life - from your morning coffee and protein shake, to low fat & low calorie hacks, to low cottage everything - diet culture is once again ramping up with the holiday season in full effect.

One thing no one talks about when swapping out their foods with food that tastes like cardboard is the enjoyment factor - and food is meant to be enjoyed! Not only that, but when you enjoy the food you eat - you are more likely to stick with your plan. It's OK to eat real food!

Do you get a good nights sleep? Sleep is a foundational part of our health and fitness - how our sleep goes, so often goes our health. This week, we spend some time talking about the importance of sleep and how it impacts all aspects of your life - from your mood and recovery, to weight loss, to your hunger - if your sleep hygiene is poor, you are much more likely to struggle!

218 - 10k Steps A Day Isn't Enough (If That's All You're Doing)

10k Steps. Often see as the gold standard for weight loss and fitness goals, but there's a caveat: Where your steps come from, matters. Many people have active jobs such as nurses, teachers, or manufacturing jobs - and that's great, but it doesn't replace the need to still do intentional cardio and strength training. This week, we dive into why!

We also dive into a question Beth received about "only" losing a half of a pound every week and why it's your mindset and expectations that are needing to change, not the scale.

217 - Is Peanut Butter A Protein Source?

Hello Nerdles! Welcome back! This week, Team Nerdle talks strength training - more specifically, how Beth and Matt are both progressing with their strength training. We dive into Matt's running progress as well before having a friendly debate about whether or not peanut butter is a protein source.

This is a controversial topic in the fitness industry and highlights a bigger issue: The rigid rules and black or white thinking that the fitness industry still struggles with.

We discuss the pro's and con's of peanut butter and various other protein sources and provide nuance to the discussion - something that is missing in this industry! Whether you believe peanut butter is a protein source or not, this conversation is sure to get you thinking.

We also discuss the new Consumer Reports findings about protein supplements and lead content and talk about the bigger issue here: the lack of regulation on the supplement industry.

216 - Fitness Doesn’t Have a Look (and Why Body Shaming Needs to Go Away)

Your body doesn’t have to look a certain way to be fit. In this episode, Matt and Beth call out body shaming in fitness culture and discuss how fitness doesn't have a 'look'.

The reality is - you can be healthy in a larger body. You can be healthy in a smaller body. You also be unhealthy in both a larger and smaller body - the way you look doesn't determine your health and it certainly doesn't determine your fitness and knowledge.

Learn how to separate health from appearance, redefine what being “fit” really means, and protect your mental peace from toxic expectations and body shaming placed on us by the fitness industry and society in general.

215 - Cardio Mistakes To Avoid

We're back! This week we are continuing our conversation from last week's episode about strength training mistakes - we're talking cardio!


Before we get to that topic, we caught up with each others fitness and training progress, social media rants, and Beth addressed a message she received that was accusing her of taking a GLP-1, so Beth lets us know what she thinks about that!


Some of the cardio mistakes discussed:

  • Not doing enough cardio
  • Mixing cardio during strength training
  • Not pushing yourself - but also not pushing yourself too hard
  • Using cardio to burn/earn calories


And more - so be give this one a listen and send us a message with your questions and thoughts on this episode!

214 - Strength Training Mistakes To Avoid

Whatsup Nerdles! This week we had a great conversation full of solid information. We caught up with Beth and her reverse diet, Matt and his 50k training, the dangers of women running alone, parenting, and more!

After catching up with each other we dive into a question from one of our Patreon members about rest times between sets, and if its ok to do cardio in between sets. This led us to discussing some of the most common mistakes we see people making when it comes to strength training, and the principles of progressive overload.

Some of the mistakes we discussed:

  • Not resting between sets
  • Not following a plan
  • Training to failure
  • Not pushing yourself hard enough
  • Needing to feel sore
  • And more!

213 - Stop Letting Fitness Limit Your Life

Peanut butter isn’t protein, “fitness to say yes” is the goal, and post-goal blues are real! This week we unpack why awareness beats labels, how to be movable enough to say yes to hikes, runs, and life, and Matt’s 25K fueling lessons (Tailwind + gels, RIP socks).

Plus: leptin myths, gym TVs blasting news, craving real community again, the cookie-jar mindset for doing hard sh*t, and why GLP-1 hype (and MLM “drops”) can be misguided.

212- How To Get Rid Of 'Meno Belly'

Meno belly. Cortisol face. These are terms used to target menopausal women by influencers and grifters online. Not only are they completely bogus terms but they aren't endearing, either.

In this episode we dive into world of meno belly - what it is, what causes it, and how you can get rid of (hint: you don't need any supplements, detox teas, or coupon codes for a GLP-1).

We dig into:

    • What causes 'menu belly' and how you can take back control
    • Beth's reverse diet and her previous meno belly experience
    • Matt's powerlifting story and endurance training
    • Long term goals and focusing on the process, not the outcome

    211 - Ozempic for Everyone? The Problem With Targeting Young Women

    GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are being marketed everywhere - but who’s really being targeted and who's benefitting? Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on how these drugs are promoted to the two most vulnerable groups when it comes to disordered eating: young women and menopausal women.

    We dig into:

    • Why eating disorders are already surging in teens and women in their 20s.

    • How menopause creates a “second wave” of vulnerability and disordered eating

    • The role influencers and social media play in normalizing prescriptions as lifestyle upgrades and why affiliate marketing makes this dangerous.

    Then, we pivot gears to talk about the changing seasons of life. Summer is ending, kids are back to school, and routines are shifting. This doesn’t mean starting over - it means adapting your habits to the new season.

    Whether you’re concerned about the rise of diet culture and influencers profiting from your health and insecurities or you just need help navigating your own health pivot as seasons change, this episode cuts through the crap and helps you keep moving forward.

    209 - Q&A: Hiking, Breakfast, Toned Arms & Coaching Truths

    We’re live from Maine, celebrating Beth’s 10 years of sobriety with a week of hiking, including the infamous Mount Katahdin. Joined by Amy Rudolph from Team BFF, this episode is part celebration, part Q&A, and part hot topics roundtable. From food noise and dieting seasons, to the shocking reality of The Biggest Loser documentary, to the exploding lawsuits over Ozempic, we dig into the messiness of health, fitness, and diet culture.

    We also field community questions about hiking safety, breakfast importance, weightlifting after 50, balancing running with strength training, and the hardest part about being a coach.

    What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • - Behind the scenes of our upcoming Katahdin hike & why doing hard things matters.

    - Food noise: why it shows up, what it means, and how to manage it.

  • - The Biggest Loser Netflix doc: the truth about extreme dieting and lasting metabolic damage.

  • - The $2B Ozempic lawsuit & the dangers of off-label prescribing.

  • - Q&A highlights:

    • Rescue options on tough hikes

    • Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?

    • Where to start with lifting in your 50s

    • Why chasing “toned arms” is about more than arm workouts

    • Marathon training vs. strength training - what takes priority?
    • How to handle outdated family diet advice without losing your sanity

    • The most mentally taxing part of being a coach

    208 - The Brain’s Comfort Scripts & How to Beat Them

    Ever notice how your brain gets real creative when it’s trying to talk you out of doing something hard? Today, we get real about two big hurdles in chasing lofty goals - the isolation that comes with intense focus (whether it’s fat loss, marathon training, or photo prep) and the mental tricks your brain plays to keep you “safe” and comfortable.

    We cover:

    • Why big goals can feel lonely (and how to know if your isolation is real or self-created)

    • The “comfort scripts” your brain runs - like The Negotiator, The Martyr Move, and The Future You Promise

    • How to spot the difference between giving yourself grace and just giving yourself a free pass

    • Strategies for keeping commitments to yourself when life gets messy

    • Why a strong community can be the antidote to isolation

    • Personal stories from the marathon trail, photo prep grind, and the mental gymnastics of getting out the door for a workout

    Quote of the Episode:


    "Grace without growth is bullsht." - Matt

    207 - Why Simple Isn't Easy (And Why You Keep Getting In Your Own Way)

    In today’s episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood truths in health and fitness: just because something is simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy. From the basics of nutrition and movement to the mental game of consistency, we unpack why people struggle with doing the boring basic things and keep abandoning their goals for the smallest inconvenience - and what to do about it.

    We also dive into the power of saying no, the guilt that shows up when you start prioritizing yourself, and how training for life (not just a finish line) demands a different kind of mindset. If you’ve ever said “I’ll get back on track Monday,” or felt like a goal wasn’t “serious enough” to commit to, this one’s for you.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why nutrition and fitness are simple in theory but hard in real life
    • How people sabotage their own progress by expecting perfection

    • The real reason you keep saying yes when you should be saying no

    • Why you don’t need a race or event to train like your goals matter

    • How to stay consistent even when life gets messy (because it always will)
