In this episode of the Muscles and Mindset Revolution Podcast, Coach Anne Jones breaks down a frustrating but common reality: you’re eating clean, maybe even working out… and still gaining weight in your 30s or 40s.

Anne reveals what’s actually slowing your metabolism (spoiler: it’s not age), and the three most common mistakes healthy women make that unintentionally lead to fat gain, muscle loss, and burnout.

You’ll learn:

• Why muscle loss—not age—is the hidden driver behind weight gain
• How undereating and overdoing cardio backfire after 30
• What to do instead to stop the gain—and finally feel like yourself again
• How real clients reversed midlife weight gain without tracking, restricting, or burning out

If you’ve gained 10–15 lb despite doing everything “right,” this episode is your wake-up call and your next step.

💥 Anne’s private 1:1 coaching project is now accepting applications specifically from six women who have gained 5-10 lb in the past few years despite 'eating clean.' DM the word ENOUGH on Instagram @annejonesfit or click here to apply.

Mastering Intuitive Eating: Balancing Intention and Freedom for Lasting Results

In this episode of the Muscles & Mindset Revolution podcast, certified fitness and life coach Anne Jones breaks down what intuitive eating actually looks like—especially for high-achieving women who still want to lose weight, build strength, and feel confident in their skin.

Anne tackles common misconceptions, including the idea that intuitive eating means “eat whatever, whenever.” She explains why true food freedom doesn’t mean giving up your goals—and how intentional choices, mindful planning, and a flexible framework can help you get real results without obsession or restriction.

Listeners will learn how Anne’s 10-step Muscles & Mindset Nutrition Method blends evidence-based nutrition, mindset coaching, and intuitive principles to help women stop overthinking food and finally feel in control.

Topics covered include:

• The real definition of intuitive eating (and how it’s often misunderstood)
• Why tracking “works”—but why it’s not a long-term solution
• How to build a balanced plate without counting every bite
• The role of mindfulness, hunger cues, and self-trust in sustainable fat loss
• What it looks like to eat with both intention and freedom

🎯 Whether you want to lose fat, improve digestion, or feel better in your body without obsessing, this episode will help you understand how to finally make peace with food—without giving up on results.

In this raw, unscripted episode of The Muscles & Mindset Revolution Podcast, we explore the life-changing impact of being honest with your yeses and nos.

I share personal stories—from soul-sister friendships to coaching conversations—that reveal how direct communication and clear boundaries create deep trust in your relationships. Whether it’s your partner, your team, your parents, or your best friend, knowing when to say “no” (without guilt) and “yes” (with full alignment) is one of the most powerful self-leadership skills you can build.

You’ll learn how to:

• Use honesty as a trust-building tool (not a conflict starter)
• Let go of emotional gymnastics and people-pleasing
• Recognize how saying “yes” when you mean “no” dilutes your identity
• Navigate the discomfort when others don’t like your boundaries
• Prioritize ease, peace, and real connection—without losing yourself

If you’ve ever felt like a “puddle of yes,” this episode is your reminder that protecting your peace is never selfish—it’s sacred.

You do not need a new workout every week to get stronger, leaner, or more confident in your body. I used to believe that too—and I was so wrong.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest myths in fitness: that you need to constantly switch things up to see results. Nope. What you really need is consistency and progressive overload—aka doing the same movements and getting a little bit better every time.

I’ll share:

• Why repeating your workouts is one of the smartest things you can do for fat loss and strength
• What “progressive overload” actually means and how to use it (even if you’re a beginner)
• The top 4 reasons repeating workouts gets you better results, faster
• Why your workouts don’t need to be entertaining—they need to be effective

If you’ve ever felt stuck doing random workouts and wondering why your body isn’t changing—this one’s for you.

💪 Want a plan that takes out the guesswork and actually works?

Apply for Muscles & Mindset—my signature program for women 30+ who are done with the quick fixes and ready for real, lasting change. Or hop on the waitlist for Summer60, our 60-day fitness + accountability kickstart.

Until next time—lift heavy, repeat your workouts, and keep showing up. You’ve got this.
