I’m sharing the top 3 tips from my Bloated AF workshop that women are already using to feel lighter and less bloated, fast.

If you’re in menopause and constantly dealing with that “ugh, nothing fits” belly bloat, this episode is for you.

We’ll cover:
✔️ Why chewing your food (like, really chewing) can reduce bloating
✔️ The truth about high-fiber “keto” and “net carb” wraps
✔️ Why artificial sweeteners, gum, and added fiber might be wrecking your gut
✔️ A simple way to calculate the real calories in these “low carb” products

Sometimes it’s not about eating less, it’s about eating smarter.

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact 3 things that helped me lose 7.5 pounds in 3 weeks, and what my clients like Angie and Jennifer did to drop 6.5 pounds in just 14 days. These principles are non-negotiable if you're doing a rapid fat loss protocol and want results fast.

We’re talking about:

• Why pre-logging your meals is critical
• The power of repeating the same 2–3 meals
• Why eating out is a fat loss killer (during this phase!)

This isn’t a lifestyle approach, it’s a short, focused sprint designed for fat loss. If you’re ready to stop dabbling and actually see the scale move, this episode is for you.

Today I'm joined by our amazing client Jennifer, who just wrapped up a two-week rapid fat loss phase, and dropped 6.5 pounds, 4.5 inches and 2% body fat without misery, starvation, or cardio.

We dive into:
– why we decided it was time for a more aggressive approach
– how she used ChatGPT and MyFitnessPal to plan meals
– what her daily eating looked like as a picky eater
– how she managed hunger, workouts
– how her mindset and confidence shift
– and the exact weight drops she tracked over the 14 days

This approach has been a huge success for our clients. This is highly effective when it’s the right time and the foundation is set, it works! Big thanks to Jennifer for sharing her story!

If you're ready to drop some weight and body fat before summer, book a quick call with me, let's see if you'd be a good fit!

We’ll talk about:

• what chronic undereating does to your hormones, energy, and muscle
• how to calculate your real maintenance calories
• why protein and strength training are essential in menopause

Traveling while bloated is the worst—and if you're in menopause, it hits even harder. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with bloating on the road (Mexico and Sedona included), what triggers it for me (looking at you, black pepper), and what actually works to prevent and relieve it.

We’re talking:

• What causes bloating during travel
• My go-to supplements and what flopped
• Why stress, cabin pressure, and food intolerances all play a role
• The difference between occasional bloating and the kind that lingers
• What to do when you’re bloated right now (yes, I even share my "fart walks" 🫣)

👉 Want to feel 5 lbs lighter in just 3 days?

No replay, no fluff—just real relief.

Welcome back! After a whirlwind April full of travel, from Cabo to Las Vegas to a spiritual retreat in Sedona, I’m diving headfirst into something I’ve never done before: getting photo shoot ready in just 8 weeks using the aggressive fat loss protocol I coach on… but this time, I’m the client.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to get photo shoot lean in your late 50s. I’m sharing my starting stats, strategy, refeeds, what the prep phase looked like, how it feels being in a steep deficit, and the honest ups and downs of this extreme but calculated approach.

If you’ve ever been curious about aggressive fat loss, body recomposition, or what’s truly required to reveal serious definition at our age, this one’s for you.
