We all know the scale doesn’t tell the full story, so why are we still chasing a shrinking number instead of a stronger body? In today’s episode, we’re talking all about body recomposition: the science (and art) of losing fat while building lean muscle.

We’re joined by Dr. Nastasia Irons, ND, a naturopathic doctor with a passion for women’s health, hormonal balance, and fitness. With over a decade of clinical experience and a background as a competitive dancer and spin instructor, Dr. Irons brings both expert insight and real-life relatability to the conversation. She’s all about helping women feel strong, energized, and confident in their bodies, at any age.

We cover everything you need to know to start your body recomposition journey, including:

What to eat to support fat loss and muscle gain
How to lift heavy (without getting “bulky”)
The role of carbs and protein
Whether fasted workouts are worth it
Which supplements can actually help
How to actually measure progress
Why strength training is non-negotiable if you want to feel and look your best
