#28 - Botox & Fake Boobs: the good, the bad and the ugly with Kate Deering

I remember when I got lip fillers, it was back when we still had our gym. Jake asked me what I did to my lips😂 It just looked so awful. I never did it again after that.I then did Botox for 18 months. I felt the pressure of being on social media and so many of the women look so perfect, I wanted to look better.After 18 months, I decided I wasn’t going to do it again. I realised it just wasn’t in line with my values or beliefs. Here I was encouraging other women to accept their bodies, eliminating nasties in the food I ate, beginning to create a no-nasties skincare line with my good friend @thenutritioncoach, and meanwhile, I was injecting my body with Botox. It didn’t make sense to me.And it’s not that I don't think it’s okay for others to do it if it makes them feel good. It just didn’t feel right for me anymore.This is also why I’m getting my implants taken out. For the first time in many years, I’m going fully natural. I’m even growing out my grey hairs (I recently just cut it super short to try and hurry it up, I actually bleached it too much trying to get to grey 😂). I’m excited and nervous but mostly excited because I feel I’m finally going to be presenting my full and authentic self, something that is so important to me. I just didn’t want to lie to myself anymore.In this podcast episode, Kate Deering and I discuss everything from fake boobs to Botox, and our personal experiences with them.We talk about:➡️Kate’s scary Botox experience and the dangers of botox no one talks about➡️How health experts are also imperfect beings and still struggle with parts of themselves➡️Why you should embrace your authentic self➡️How many layers there are to healing and improving your life➡️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.

#27 - Understanding your menstrual cycle & natural contraception with Jessie Brebner

I get this question all the time: ‘How do avoid pregnancy if I'm not on hormonal birth control?’ I often joke and say just do anal it's the only safe way.....KIDDING!!! 😂We encourage women to avoid hormonal birth control, such as the pill as it shuts down ovulation and thins the uterine wall. This isn't great news for your metabolism because you're not ovulating and when you're not ovulating you're not making progesterone. Progesterone is amazing! Its pro-thyroid, it balances estrogen and it helps you sleep.So when women come off their hormonal contraception I always get asked what other birth control options are out there.Many women don’t fully understand the menstrual cycle and its importance in the female body (I didn’t for a long time either). But knowing how your cycle works and tracking it can help you determine how your metabolic function and health is doing.The menstrual cycle is like your monthly report card and because it's not essential to your survival its often the first thing to show signs of stress like under-eating, overtraining and life stressors. There have been many times on my journey when my cycle has completely stopped for periods of 6 months and the rest of the time it was painful and irregular and I had all the crazy PMS symptoms.In this podcast, Jessie and I talk about:➡️ How the menstrual cycle works and what a healthy cycle looks like➡️ What not having your period truly means➡️ Why ovulation is so important➡️ Tracking your cycle with specific apps➡️ How you can use the symptothermal method to avoid pregnancy→ And so much more!So many nuggets in this one ladies!! And the good news is with the right diet and lifestyle changes you to can experience regular and pain-free periods.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.

#25 - Why strength training is so beneficial for women with Thomas Lilley

I actually trained with Thomas twice a week for 12 months, and I enjoyed it so much! He’s such an expert when it comes to powerlifting. We also sold our NuStrength gym to Thomas and we were so happy it found a good home!!One of the things I love about Thomas is he is so passionate about his craft and he has a methodology that just works. I saw so many improvements with my squat and deadlift technique while working with him.In this podcast episode, we sat down and had a little chat about:➡️Sustainable transformation and why getting stronger is part of that➡️Why technique is so important➡️Misconceptions about lifting weights (including the idea that it will make you ‘bulky’)➡️Why it’s not easy to get ‘big’ or to ‘bulk’ up➡️Why eating enough is so important for building muscle➡️The greatness of the squat➡️ And more!Lifting is such an empowering feeling! I bloody love it.

#24 - The scary truth about polyunsaturated fats (PUFA’s) with Matt Blackburn

#22 - Finding Your Self-Worth with Hedley Derenzie

In our program, WinAtLife, we are all about training and nutrition. But I think there is so much more to it.Many women come into this program - their journey - (me too) with insecurities, fears, and feelings about yourself.And I think when you finally start training and eating right, you become brave enough to face those things and tackle them head-on.Low self-worth is something I had for so long. I’d seek attention from men and I’d drink. It manifests differently for different people, and in this podcast, Hedley and I dig into it and how we’ve both struggled with it. We chat about:➡️How self-worth doesn’t come from the outside world but it has to come from you.➡️How self-worth may start with feeling good and healthy.➡️How we often project our insecurities onto other people and the world.➡️How we’ve both navigated through low self-worth and relationships.➡️Hedley’s books and experiences involving self-worth.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.

#21 - How Joanne beat her thyroid issues, fixed her hormonal issues & is down 5kgs all while giving up the grog!

Are you wondering whether you should or shouldn’t give up alcohol during this process? If this sounds like you or you’re curious about giving up alcohol, you need to listen to this one!Joanne went through a very similar and very relatable journey involving alcohol. She’s coming up on two years in our program, but it took her about 11 months to really get her shit together.In this podcast episode, we talk all about her journey and challenges. For most women, it’s not the easiest of processes (changing your habits and trying something new is NEVER easy or comfortable), but once you come out on the other side, it’s so bloody worth it.Joanne and I chat about:➡️Her history with booze➡️ Her history involving thyroid issues➡️ Why she really couldn’t give up booze at fist➡️ Why she eventually decided to try not drinking➡️ What she noticed when she eliminated alcohol from the equation➡️ The advice she would give to others in similar situations➡️ And so much more!Joanne’s journey is so inspiring. I really encourage you to listen to this - especially if you’re a big boozer (I used to be too and it was a really hard hurdle to get over).And ladies, giving up booze doesn’t mean it’s forever. It’s about giving your thyroid and liver the support they need and allowing your metabolism to heal. Once you allow that to happen, the occasional drink is okay!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.
