Ep 141 | SkinnyTok Is Back – and It’s Wrecking Women’s Metabolism

The “SkinnyTok” trend is everywhere again—but this time it’s sneakier, louder, and more damaging than ever. In this episode, we break down why the obsession with being smaller is harming women’s hormones, metabolism, and long-term body recomposition goals. We’ll talk about how diet culture rebranded itself on social media, why it pulls smart, motivated women back into restriction, and what actually leads to a strong, lean, healthy body instead.

Ep 140 | Is Your Mouth Blocking Your Fat Loss? The Oral Health–Autoimmune Connection w/ Dr. Toni Engram

What if your stalled fat loss, inflammation, or autoimmune symptoms had less to do with your macros—and more to do with your mouth? In this episode, I’m joined by biological dentist and integrative health coach Dr. Toni Engram to unpack the powerful (and overlooked) connection between oral health, gut function, immune response, and whole-body inflammation. We dive into biological dentistry, root canals, dental materials, fluoride, mouthwash, and how oral dysfunction can quietly sabotage recovery, sleep, and body recomposition.

Cheat meals often do more harm than good—fueling the binge-restrict cycle, creating guilt, and stalling your progress.

Ep 136 | Heavy vs. Light Weights for Muscle Growth: The Rep Range That Actually Builds Muscle

In today’s episode, I break down a brand new 2025 study that challenges one of the most common gym debates: do you need heavy weights to build muscle or can lighter weights work just as well? The answer might actually give you more freedom in your training than you think. We’ll cover high-load and low-load training, what this means for strength gains, and how busy women can use this research to train smarter. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re using the right weight or rep range, this episode will give you the science-backed confidence to crush your workouts.
