Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

I’ve never really had a burning desire to have children either has Craig.With everything happening in the world this last year, I just started to think what more there was to life. I imagined making another human with Craig and this is gonna sound cheesy but I love him so much 🤣.At first, Craig wanted to keep this to just us. I’m a bit of an over sharer and I’m very transparent but this was something we initially decided to just keep to ourselves. After we went to the fertility specialist late last year, I asked his permission to share more about this, so with his blessing, I’ve been opening up more about our journey.With all of this going on and me opening up more to everyone about this, I decided to sit down with Emma Sgourakis - The Nutrition Coach, friend and business partner to chat about pregnancy preparation/pregnancy and mainstream advice vs a pro-metabolic approach.We discuss:➡️What you can do for your body when trying to have a baby and what I've been doing➡️How to prepare the body for pregnancy - how to stay well nourished and why being well fuelled is so important➡️What is the root cause of symptoms like morning sickness➡️Finding balance with stress➡️Weight gain➡️Folate and prenatal vitamins - do you actually need them?➡️Should you be eating raw foods?➡️Liver and oysters - and why I will continue to eat these when I'm pregnant➡️Coffee and pregnancy - Emma actually started drinking coffee when she fell pregnant and drank it right through her pregnancy➡️And more!LINKSOn coffee: In animal experiments that have been used to argue that pregnant women shouldn’t drink coffee, large doses of caffeine given to pregnant animals retarded the growth of the fetuses. But simply giving more sucrose prevented the growth retardation. Since caffeine tends to correct some of the metabolic problems that could interfere with pregnancy, it is possible that rationally constructed experiments could show benefits to the fetus from the mother’s use of coffee, for example by lowering bilirubin and serotonin, preventing hypoglycemia, increasing uterine perfusion and progesterone synthesis, synergizing with thyroid and cortisol to promote lung maturation, and providing additional nutrients.From: http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/caffeine.shtmlRay to me, regarding safety of Vitamin A during pregnancy 8/6/14: and the myth of vitamin a toxicity …I think having liver once a week is helpful for most nutrients, including vitamin A. A vitamin E supplement, preventing harmful oxidation of vitamins, helps to prevent a vitamin A deficiency, and is protective against extreme excesses of vitamin A.In the 1970s, when drug companies were developing synthetic versions of vitamin A for treating acne, they planted stories explaining the need for such drugs, based on the purportedly extreme toxicity of natural vitamin A. The toxic amounts of natural vitamin A are thousands of times larger than the nutritional amounts, but therapeutic doses of the synthetics are teratogenic. Their publicity machine is so powerful that physicians and nutritionists are still showing its toxic effects.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.

A few weeks ago Craig and I caught up with Amy Bowe to talk about what it actually takes to transform your body in a healthy and sustainable way. Amy has been coaching for 12 years. She also has a dietetics degree, which she actually says was more clinical than her approach to food today. We both love Amy!She is actually located in Vancouver but is from Australia. She was an Olympic lifter, has an amazing physique, and is an awesome person. Today, she also helps women get stronger, fuel their metabolism, and break-free from restrictive diets (similar to what we do!).We all decided this was a good opportunity to sit down and talk about women’s expectations, what they want to achieve versus what it actually takes, and roadblocks that come up, as well as how you can try to close those gaps.We chat about:➡️Diet culture➡️ The type of training that will support your metabolism and build muscle and why this is important when it comes to a healthy and sustainable body transformation➡️Why your body composition can’t be your only ‘why’➡️Asking the right questions and focusing on what is relevant➡️Why getting your technique down and taking your time is so important when it comes to strength training➡️Tracking your food and how that relates to your relationship with food, when and why it’s important➡️And 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.

Kate’s been getting a little hate on some of her posts lately. And I get it too!There are always going to be people that disagree with you and that's ok but sometimes, when something challenges a person’s belief system, people can get a bit nasty… But we know that this is often not the entire story each and every time, so we decided to have a chat about this whole ‘cancel culture.’When it comes down to it, we are all just doing our best with the information we currently have. Kate and I dive deeper into this whole topic:We talk about:➡️ Realising that there isn’t ONE truth out there and that there are many different perspectives➡️ A lot of different avenues can make you a healthier human being so blocking one perspective from your circle may not be the best idea➡️ Different mindsets, such as being tired, hungry, or even drunk, can play a role in people’s reactions➡️ You don’t have to respect another’s opinion but you have to allow people to have a different opinion➡️ How attacking people never helps➡️ You don’t know what you don’t know➡️ How dieting and stress can play a huge partHappy 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.

Last week I caught up with Kate Deering, Matt Blackburn, Danny Roddy and Georgi Dinkov to chat about vitamin D supplementation.In this podcast we will address both sides of the supplemental Vitamin D debate.A few notes for the listening audience.Vitamin D and its metabolites have many names, through out this interview it is good to know which ones are being discussed.👉Cholecalciferol/ supplemental D3 is obtained by food, supplement and produced by body via sunlight👉Ergocalciferol is D2, not produced in the human body, but is created by exposing certain plant-derived materials to ultraviolet light.👉Calcidiol / ""Stored"" D / 25OHD/ 25-hydroxyvitamin D👉Calcitriol/ ""activated"" D / 1,25DIn this podcast we discuss👉What is vitamin D? 👉The rat poison -Cholecalciferol connection. Should we be worried?👉Is low vitamin D the symptom of poor health or the cause?👉Why you do NOT want high levels of 1,25 (active) Vitamin D.👉Parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25OHD, Calcium and 1,25 vitamin D connection👉Does 25OHD actually have ""active"" properties? 👉Can taking supplemental vitamin D affect 1,25 D's levels?👉The vitamin D -Corona Virus connection👉Does Supplemental D deplete the body of nutrients?👉What tests should you take to find out if you are ""low"" in Vitamin D👉Who, if anyone, should take supplemental D👉What is the best way to take supplemental D👉Should we be concerned with supplemental D in our food?👉What are the optimal Vitamin D levels?RESOURCES + LINKSRebuild Your Metabolism Method: 28 Day ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on Spotifyhttps://www.mitolife.co/Use discount code KITTY15 to get 15% off productshttp://www.idealabsdc.com/Purchase Kates book use discount code: VITD10 to get 10% offhttps://nustrength.myshopify.com/products/how-to-heal-your-metabolism-by-kate-deeringFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldKate Deering @katedeeringfitnessDanny Roddy @thedannyroddyweblogMatt Blackburn @mattblackburnAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

About 6 months after I first met Craig, he had a bad shoulder injury. He went to about 5 different people - even got a cortisone shot. Eventually, a friend referred us to Jim.Jim is a nerve-lock specialist and both Craig and I just love him. After 3 visits with Jim, Craig’s shoulder was back to normal and he could return to training.Since then, we’ve sent hundreds of people to Jim. He’s just so amazing and has such a special gift. If you have pain, get on his website and get to Brisbane and see him!! We’ve had people with 10 years of neck pain that Jim has helped in just a few visits. It’s just incredible.So, I thought it was only fitting to sit down and have a chat with Jim about pain and how it manifests within the body. We talk about:➡️ How stress, emotions and trauma can manifest as pain in the body➡️ How pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong➡️ Pain is a good indicator of how your subconscious body is doing➡️ How society plays a role when it comes to pain and the body➡️ And so much 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.

Are you a woman who puts in so much effort in at the gym but your body just isn't changing?Well, that used to be me. I trained 6-7 days per week and I really thought I knew what I was doing! But my body certainly didn't look like it does now. That all changed when I met Craig.I get this question all the time from women "how should I train to achieve a toned and athletic body"So I decided to sit down with Craig and talk about the training methodology he used to transform my body and 1000's of other women's bodies in the Winatlife Program.Craig is known as ‘the sausage’ amongst the women in our program, a nickname he picked up after I called him sausage on a live one night 😂 I’m ‘the fog horn’ - the more vocal of us two. But Craig is the other half of our company and he really is the one that saved me from myself and hours of cardio I was doing.One of the first dates we had was in the gym. I remember he asked me to show him a deadlift and he ended up just telling me to put the bar down 😂 I really thought I was ‘training’ but I didn’t really know what I was doing and I NEVER tracked my progress. I didn't really understand what strong meant or how to extract a maximum performance.In this podcast episode, Craig and I chat about:➡️Advice for women with hormonal issues who want to train➡️Where we start with women entering our training program, beginners and advanced lifters➡️The mental hurdles involved when you start strength training➡️Why training more should never be the goal➡️What you should be measuring➡️Where a lot of women go wrong➡️The best exercises and why➡️And more!Training and progress don’t have to be overcomplicated!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.

A few weeks ago I caught up with my friend Leila Luiz to record this podcast episode. I just love Leila, she is warm and open and we just clicked. The first time we went to record this we actually chatted for 1.5 hours and had to reschedule.Like me, she loves a good chinwag 😂Leila is a Heath and Performance Coach of 18 years, riding the uncomfortable journey of healing and putting weight loss last. She talks about her struggles as someone who has always been fit and energetic to struggling to work, mother and live.She talks about her struggle with Hashimoto's and the confronting journey of what it’s like to be overweight as a health and fitness professional and accepting that 30kgs of weight gain is part of the healing journey and healing her metabolism. She also talks about doing the inner work and how it's one of the key foundations to loving your body.Leila has a story that I'm sure so many women can relate to.I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.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.
