#83 - Manufactured Multivitamins vs real food with Emma Sgourakis

Do you take a multi?I used to take one every day.That was until I found pro-metabolic eating and realised that a multivitamin wasn't doing anything food couldn't do AND some of the synthetic nutrients I was consuming may have been causing me more harm than good.I feel like they are core to mainstream nutrition and are pushed hard as an insurance policy to get extra nutrients into a shitty diet.When you eat real food you're not consuming single nutrients but rather a range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and cofactors that work synergistically to allow for optimal use by the body.In this episode I catch up with Nutritionist Emma Sgourakis to talk about why getting nutrients from whole food is a much better option than taking a daily multivitamin.We cover:👉 Two true superfoods that we like to call "nature's multivitamins" ways you can prepare them and other options if you just can't get them or don't like the taste👉 Some of the dangers in taking synthetic vitamins, minerals and trace minerals and how some can deplete the body of other nutrients👉 The vitamins, minerals and trace minerals you need and what foods you can find them inHappy 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.

#82 - The ups and downs of healing with Kori and Fallon

One of the things I love about Kori and Fallon is how authentic and open they both are. I had them on the podcast last year and got such great feedback I thought I'd get them on again.Kori had a baby recently named Story, and Fallon has been busy working on her recipe book which has now been released and is called the Batch Cookbook. I have it and can confirm the recipes are amazing, highly recommend purchasing.I think a lot of coaches feel they can't share certain challenges or failures they experience on their journey because they feel like the should have it all together AND I think a lot of women put so much pressure on themselves to be perfect or to have achieved certain goals in certain time frames that they lose sight of the bigger picture.In this episode Kori and Fallon open up about the struggles and challenges they've had on their healing journeys and how it hasn't been linear.We discuss:➡️How healing isn’t just about food but your lifestyle as well➡️How it’s okay to feel sad, angry, or frustrated sometimes➡️Why stressing about achieving your goals doesn’t help➡️Why you shouldn’t get hyper-focused on being perfect➡️The power of your mind when it comes to your health➡️How emotions can coexist➡️Focusing on what you do have and not what you don’t➡️Accepting and loving yourself while wanting to changeHappy 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.

#80 - EFT Tapping with Greta Zukoff

A lot of women come into our program and get results, then there are other women that really struggle. Even though they have the knowledge and support they still struggle to be consistent. They self-sabotage and have a hard time overcoming their own internal stories and dialogue.If you listened to the podcast I did updating everyone on my TTC journey I talked about how EFT really helped me with my anxiety and the feelings that were coming up for me. Greta is an EFT tapping practitioner and a client in one of our programs. One day she messaged me and said "Kitty now you can tell me to fuck off 🤣 but I really think EFT tapping could help you".I think a lot of women 'stuff' feelings or have trauma in their past that they haven't worked through or processed which can affect their ability to be consistent and make lasting change.It really helped me so I thought I'd get Greta on the podcast to talk more about EFT In this episode, we discuss:➡️What is EFT tapping?➡️How EFT tapping works➡️Who can benefit from EFT➡️How emotional experiences as children shape us as adults➡️Why EFT tapping addresses self-sabotaging and limiting beliefs➡️What to expect at an EFT tapping sessionHappy 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.

#79 - The scary truth about Hormonal Contraception with Amanda Montalvo

I get so many questions from women doing our program and challenges about taking hormonal birth control, including the pill, IUD, depo shot, and more.I actually took the pill for many years. I didn’t understand why it was so important to ovulate and have a period. The doctor never warned me, and I didn’t do any research on it back then. I just thought it was convenient to not have a period, and at the time, I didn’t want to fall pregnant.So I thought I'd get Amanda on the podcast to talk about how birth control interferes with your hormones and why having a healthy ovulatory cycle is so important for all women even if you don't want to fall pregnant.In this episode, we discuss:➡️How the menstrual cycle works➡️Why ovulation (and progesterone) is so important➡️How birth control suppresses ovulation➡️How the menstrual cycle offers insights into your overall health➡️What happens when you stop taking the pill➡️How a woman becomes estrogen dominant➡️How stress impacts the menstrual cycle and ovulation➡️The effects of alcohol on the menstrual cycle➡️How IUDs interfere with your hormones➡️Symptoms from birth control and synthetic hormones➡️Why it takes time to get your hormones back on track after birth control (and how much time it typically takes)➡️How you can support your body when coming off of birth controlHappy 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.

#78 - From Paleo & 1200 calories to Pro-metabolic eating with Trish Del Girolamo

Are you a woman who's used to living off low calorie and low carb diets to control your weight?Have you thought about dipping your toes in pro-metabolic eating but feel scared to increase your calories and start eating carbs and dairy again?Are you sick of punishing yourself with grueling cardio and training sessions 6-7 days per week to maintain your weight?If this is you then I’m sure you can relate to Trish's story.Trish is 52, married with one daughter and lives in Melbourne. She’s done almost everything from 500-calorie and 1200-calorie diets and Jenny Craig to avoiding carbs altogether and going full Paleo for two years in an effort to improve her health.When she first started pro-metabolic eating she struggled to introduce carbs and dairy and was terrified of gaining weight if she increased her calories.In this podcast she shares her journey including how she successfully introduced carbs and dairy back into her diet, how she trains, the cardio she does, her mindset struggles, how long it's actually taken her to reach her goals and finally how she succeeded and now eats 2000 calories per day and is fitting back into her size 8 clothes.Trish even says herself, “I probably would’ve crashed and burned.” Yet, now she loves herself, has newfound confidence, and says there is no looking back!For women debating finally letting go of restrictive diets and punishing cardio, Trish says “This is a better way of life. This is the right way of life. This is the way we should all be living and eating.”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.

#77 - There's more to healing than a pro-metabolic diet with Kate Deering

In this podcast, Kate and I get deep and personal. We share aspects of our stories and how emotional stress and our thoughts have affected health. A lot of women think if they get their training and nutrition down pat, everything will be great.....and yes it's a great start and definitely foundational when it comes to healing but there is more to health than just the physical.So, if you’re doing everything right but things aren’t falling into place like you thought, give this episode a listen. You aren’t alone. We all struggle, we experience shame, and beat ourselves up from time to time. The truth is there is ALWAYS going to be stress in your life, and finding ways to build our resilience and navigate through it is so important for obtaining health, happiness, and balance.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.

#75 - Constipation is a metabolic issue with Emma Sgourakis

It’s probably best if you aren’t eating for this one. So, put your fork down and get ready to find out how you can improve the all-too-common problem of constipation and start pooing regularly.Prior to meeting Emma, I actually wouldn’t go to the bathroom for 2-3 days at a time. I just thought this was normal (it’s not), and I see so many women having the same issue. But really, there’s nothing more satisfying than a good poo! You just feel lighter and less weighed down. There are also a heap of reasons why it’s important to go regularly.In this episode, we talk about:➡️ How constipation is linked to low metabolic function➡️Why it’s important to have one or more bowel movements per day➡️What happens when you don’t go➡️Why common recommendations to improve constipation don’t actually fix the root cause➡️Tips for improving digestion and eliminating constipation➡️What foods you should reduce➡️The importance of movement and sun for regular bowel movements➡️The special foods that can remove excess estrogen and endotoxins from the intestines and act like a scrubbing brush➡️Stress and how it affects your bowel movements and digestion➡️Using magnesium and cascara for constipationHappy 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.

#74 - Losing 14kgs & beating Hashimotos with Margie and Sarah

Many women who struggle with autoimmune conditions make things worse by doing all the crazy diets as they try to lose weight and feel better. This is why I wanted to have Margie (a long-time client turned big sister in the WinAtLife program) and her niece, Sarah, on the podcast.Both Margie and Sarah have autoimmune conditions. Margie has spondylosis arthritis, and Sarah has Hashimotos. Yet, they’ve both managed to put their autoimmune conditions into remission.Looking at Margie, you would have no idea she is 56 years old. She has amazing skin, great hair, and looks incredible (which she attributes to all the liver, collagen, oysters, and other great food she’s been eating). Sarah is a 36-year-old, single mum, who is studying part-time, and so far, has lost 14 kgs in our program. What these two women have achieved is so amazing, so I wanted to get them on here and share their incredible stories in hopes to inspire others to do the same.In this episode, we chat about:➡️Margie and Sarah’s individual journeys➡️What they eat on a day to day basis➡️How many calories they are eating day to day (the answer might surprise you)➡️The changes they have made and how they have shifted their mindset to play the long game➡️How tracking their food has been key in their success➡️How they train and the type of cardio they do daily➡️Advice for women just starting this journey➡️And tips for women who are struggling with being consistent.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.
