I’ve had a few other guests on the podcast talking about the menstrual cycle and how it’s the fifth vital sign, as well as the impact oral contraception can have on the female body. I used to take the pill because it was easy and I didn’t want to fall pregnant. Today, I (and many other women in our program) use the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM).FAM is amazing. It helps you get in tune with your body and cycle, and you can use it to prevent pregnancy. Nina is a FAM and hormone coach. In a previous life, she was a middle school choir teacher, she has an amazing voice I made her sing on the podcast 🤣In this episode, Nina and I chat about:➡️Nina’s health journey➡️What is the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM)➡️What is the issue with hormonal birth control?➡️The issue with progestin (the synthetic version of progesterone)➡️The effects of IUDs➡️How do you do FAM➡️What ovulation looks like and why it's important➡️How your cervix changes throughout your cycle➡️When is your fertile window➡️How your body temperature fluctuates throughout your cycle➡️Books and apps for FAMHappy 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 women are tied to the scales, and I get it. I one was too. Yet, the truth is that throughout this process, the scales go up and down as you lose body fat. Unfortunately, we are so conditioned to see it drop quickly and every day, but this isn’t sustainable or entirely accurate.Weight can fluctuate day to day even if you are 100% consistent with your food and training. So, Craig and I thought it was a good idea to jump on and go over why it’s important to measure weight loss over weeks and months, not days.Once you get rid of that obsession with the scale and look at it as another data point, you get so much more freedom and actually start getting the results you want. In this episode, Craig and I discuss:➡️Why weight fluctuates day to day even if you're 100% consistent with your nutrition, training and movement➡️How weight changes throughout your cycle➡️How stress impacts the scale➡️What sustainable weight loss actually is➡️Why body measurements matter not just scale weight➡️Why starving yourself isn’t the answer to losing body fat➡️Why you should be looking at your weight loss over weeks/months not days/weeks➡️Why it's important to weigh daily under the same conditions and average that number at the end of the weekHappy 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.

Tania is in her early 50's and is married with two kids.Before she came into our program, she was running on the treadmill - sometimes twice daily - and eating broccoli, seeds, and all kinds of stuff she thought she had to in order to feel good and lose weight. She had thyroid issues, menopausal symptoms and just couldn't lose weight without starving herself.She has a really cool story and I think a lot of women can relate to it.In this episode, Tania and I chat about:➡️The diets and exercises Tania tried before our program➡️How Tania lost 100 cm and eliminated her menopausal symptoms➡️What health issues she was having before the program➡️How she avoided thyroid surgery➡️What she’s enjoyed the most about the program➡️How many calories she’s consuming daily➡️How this new way of eating has fit with her family➡️What she eats on a daily basis➡️Her advice to women debating whether or not they should try our programHappy 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.

My co-founder of NuStrength, Craig Mcdonald, and I are back!If you haven’t listened to our previous podcast where Craig talks about the different nutrition phases we take our clients through, why we have phases and when they are appropriate, I recommend going back and giving that one a listen first.I think fat loss phases are so misunderstood and women often think they have to drastically cut calories. So, I wanted to chat with Craig to help you understand it better and how to structure it to make it easier.In this episode, we discuss;➡️What a fat loss phase is and how long they should typically go for➡️Getting the most out of your foods and macros and why there are certain foods we recommend during a fat loss phase➡️Where to get started➡️How to structure your diet in a fat loss phase and why this is important➡️Metabolic adaptation during a fat loss phase➡️The role strength training plays in maintaining muscle during a fat loss phase➡️Why walking and NEAT is important in a fat loss phase➡️How to make this process easier and more enjoyableHappy 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.

Just about every week I get at least 2-3 DM's from women like this:"Hi Kitty I've been dieting for years and have been following you and others in the community and I've been implementing some of the principles eating more carbs, dairy etc but I've gained so much weight, it's not working what should I do?"The first thing I ask them is have they been tracking their food?Just about everyone says they haven't been tracking their food or they have been loosely tracking their food.So we thought we'd record a quick podcast on this topic.In this episode, we chat about:➡️The importance of tracking and planning your food➡️Why someone gains weight➡️When weight/fat gain is needed and when it's not➡️How to minimise fat gain➡️How the balance of protein, fat, and carbs is critical➡️The hard truth about why you may not be seeing the results you want➡️Why being consistent is essential➡️How muscle mass plays a part➡️How time mattersHappy 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.
