If you don't follow Leo, follow him....he post's the funniest things. His posts are super entertaining and educational.Leo is a trainer in LA, and I love his content so much that I thought it’d be fun to talk about dairy with him and all the misconceptions around it. Back in the day, I thought I was being healthy by cutting dairy from my diet....I also went through a stage where I made my own almond milk 🤣 what a bloody ball ache that was!In this episode, Leo and I discuss:➡️How dairy became so demonised➡️Why is dairy good for us➡️Why oat and almond milk aren’t good substitutes for dairy➡️How almond milk is actually bad for the environment➡️Lactose intolerance➡️Why you need to start slowly if you haven’t consumed dairy for whileAnd more!Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

In this podcast, we’re talking about booze! If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I used to drink a lot, I was a loose cannon 🤣 For a long time I used it to have fun and as a coping mechanism.I still love alcohol but I don't love how excessive drinking makes me feel.I don’t drink much anymore. I just can’t handle the hangover and lack of sleep. I’ll have a few cocktails when we go out with friends or over holidays, but no more crazy binges!So, the question: Can you drink alcohol and reach your body goals and health? Technically, yes BUT… (listen to this podcast episode to find out more!)In this episode, Craig and I discuss:➡️The effects of alcohol on the body➡️The link between alcohol and estrogen➡️How alcohol interferes with sleep➡️How to track alcohol along with tracking your food➡️What’s in alcohol?➡️How drinking impacts fat loss and trainingHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

A lot of our clients ask us how to approach their training and nutrition while on holidays. I used to be in this mentality where I would restrict leading up to a holiday, then I would use the holiday as a binge, free-for-all. I’d drink a heap of alcohol every day and eat sh*t food. Then, after my holidays, I’d go right back to the restrictive diet.I don’t do that anymore, and I definitely didn’t do that on Craig and I’s most recent holiday, so we thought this would be a good one to hop on and discuss! In this episode, we chat about:➡️What we tell our clients to do when on holidays when it comes to nutrition and training➡️What happens if you go off track on holidays➡️How much damage can you actually do➡️What we did during our recent holiday➡️Training on holidays➡️What to do when you get backAnd more!Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

Craig, my other half and co-founder of NuStrength, and I jumped on for a quick episode to chat about getting back to training after being sick.We’ve noticed so many women have been sick lately, and have had to take time off from training. It can be really tempting to try to jump right back into your training afterward to make up for lost time. But this can actually be detrimental to your overall progress.While you want to rest and recover from your sickness, you also want to slowly build back up again. Craig talks about how exactly to do this and how to ease back into your regular training regime (and more!).So, if you’re heading back into the gym after getting sick, this one is for you.Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
