  • Cutting carbs is wrecking your energy and your results
    May 4 2025

    Today, we’re diving into a topic that so many of you have struggled with… cutting carbs in an attempt to lose weight. 🙋🏻‍♀️ (Yep, I had both my hands up too!)

    For years, we’ve been told that carbs are the enemy… that if we just cut out bread, pasta, or rice, the weight would magically fall off. And while you might see the scale drop at first, what you don’t see is the toll it takes: the cravings, the fatigue, the frustration, and eventually... the weight regain.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down:

    • Why cutting carbs can wreck your energy, metabolism, and hormones (especially if you’re 35+).
    • The truth about "quick weight loss" (hint: it’s mostly water weight at first!).
    • How low-carb diets can actually stall your fat loss and lead to binge eating cycles.
    • Why carbs are NOT the enemy — they are your secret weapon when eaten the right way!
    • The best types of carbs to include for sustainable weight loss, steady energy, better workouts, and a happier, more vibrant YOU.

    If you’ve ever felt tired, cranky, and frustrated after trying to go low-carb, this episode will feel like a big warm hug and a reality check all rolled into one.

    You can eat carbs, feel amazing in your body, and lose weight… sustainably and without the endless cycle of restriction and regain. I’ll show you how inside today’s episode.

    Apr 27 2025

    If you’re constantly feeling stressed, waking up tired (even after a full night of sleep), and the scale just won’t budge no matter how “healthy” you’re eating or how often you’re moving your body… this episode is a must-listen.

    Today, I’m walking you through my personal, non-negotiable morning routine that helps lower cortisol, balance hormones, and support fat loss… without spending two hours at the gym or doing anything drastic. This routine takes me around 8 minutes and has been a game-changer for both me and my clients.

    Here’s what we cover in this episode: ✨ What cortisol is and why high levels make fat loss so hard

    ✨ How a simple morning routine can support your metabolism and hormones

    ✨ The exact 3 steps I follow every single morning (and teach my clients too!)

    ✨ Why I ditched the 5AM workouts and what I do instead

    ✨ Gentle ways to support your body in just a few minutes a day

    This is a practical episode that’ll help you create more calm in your mornings, boost your energy, and finally start seeing the fat loss results you’ve been craving… without going to extremes.

    Whether you're a business owner, a working mum, or just navigating the chaos of life, you can support your body in a simple, effective way that fits your busy lifestyle.

  • The problem with intermittent fasting
    Apr 20 2025

    In today’s episode, I’m diving into something a little different… my honest opinion on intermittent fasting.

    Now before we get into it, let me be clear: if you’re currently doing intermittent fasting and it’s working for you, amazing! This episode isn’t about telling you what to stop doing. It’s here to give you clarity and a perspective that isn’t always talked about… especially if you’re a busy high-achieving woman over 35 juggling all the things.

    I get questions daily like “Angela, what do you think of XYZ diet?”... and intermittent fasting is a big one. So I decided to break it all down right here on the podcast.

    You’ll learn:

    ✨ Why intermittent fasting may not be the best fit for you… especially if your days are jam-packed and you’re already under a lot of stress.

    ✨ How eating by the clock instead of tuning into your body’s hunger cues can disconnect you from your body and lead to binge eating.

    ✨ The hormonal impact of fasting on women over 35 (yes, it can backfire).

    ✨ Why skipping breakfast may feel “good” at first but often leads to overeating and cravings at night.

    ✨ The truth about calorie deficits and why fasting doesn’t magically guarantee weight loss.

    I’m also sharing my personal experience with intermittent fasting… what it did to me, why I walked away from it, and the long-term damage it can do if it’s not the right fit for your body and lifestyle.

    Because here’s the thing: sustainable weight loss isn’t about rules, restrictions, or rigid windows of time. It’s about tuning into your body, nourishing it well, and creating habits that last.

    If you’ve ever skipped meals and found yourself raiding the fridge late at night… this episode is for you.

    You’ll walk away with clarity and a deeper understanding of how to support your body without adding more stress, more rules, or more restriction to your already full plate.
