Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

In this week's podcast, Craig and I reflect on a whirlwind year of growth, moving to Dubai, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way—both personally and in business. We’ve also got some exciting news to share about our next big move to Thailand!But more importantly, we dive into why so many women struggle to get lasting results with diet and training. The truth is, most women over 40 have been stuck in the low-carb, sugar-free, and HIIT class-heavy mindset for years, and it’s wreaking havoc on their hormones and bodies.That’s where our method—and our app—make all the difference. We help you eat more of the right foods, train smarter (not harder), and track what truly matters for your body. It’s not about starving yourself or endless HIIT classes; it’s about building strength, boosting metabolism, and getting sustainable, healthy results.If you’ve been feeling stuck, our process will help you unlock food freedom and finally see progress in a way that works for your body!RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I just had an incredible conversation with Michael on the podcast, and I think it’s something that will really resonate with so many of you. Michael dives deep into the reasons we often sabotage ourselves—whether it's skipping meal prep, drinking every weekend, or simply being our own worst critics. It’s those little behaviours we know we shouldn’t be doing, but we can’t quite figure out why we keep doing them.We talked about how to break the cycle of self-criticism and really understand why we behave the way we do. It’s all about identifying the deeper beliefs that hold us back—like feeling “not good enough”—and learning how to rewrite that story so you can finally start making the changes you want to see.If you’ve ever felt stuck in this kind of loop, like you know what you should be doing but can't seem to stay consistent, this episode is a must-listen. Trust me, you’ll walk away with some real insights on how to stop self-sabotaging and start making progress toward your goals.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 SpotifySave 33% on your first month with this link: https://community.thewholepersonproject.com/invitation?code=2EC3FJFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldMichael Rizk @thewholepersonprojectAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I recently had an incredible chat on the podcast with one of our amazing clients, Mel, who shared her inspiring transformation story that I think so many of you will relate to. If you've ever struggled with yo-yo dieting, food restriction, or felt like you’ve tried everything and still aren’t seeing results, you’re going to want to tune in to this one.Mel’s journey started just like so many women out there – battling body image issues since childhood, jumping from one restrictive diet to another (Keto, anyone?), and feeling completely lost, exhausted, and miserable. She even reached a point where she didn’t want to leave the house. Sound familiar?What changed for her? Joining our program, which taught her how to eat in a way that actually fuels her body, enjoy food again (yes, she’s now loving carbs like orange juice and rice pudding!), and embrace strength training. She stopped obsessing over the scale and started focusing on building muscle, and guess what? She’s now 9kg down, 17.5% body fat, and feeling stronger and more confident than ever before. 🙌Here are a few gems from Mel’s story that we talked about on the podcast:👉How she finally found food freedom and stopped the binge-restrict cycle for good.👉Why learning to eat more (yes, MORE) has been the key to her fat loss and muscle-building success.👉How our program helped her fix her relationship with food and her body, ditch the guilt, and stop being controlled by the scale.👉The incredible improvements in her energy, mood, and even her hair and skin!If you’ve been trying to starve yourself skinny, or can’t seem to break the cycle of bingeing and restricting, this episode is for you. Mel’s experience shows what’s possible when you stop focusing on the 👉number on the scale and start fuelling your body to feel strong, energised, and empowered!RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Nicole's story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of taking control of your health, no matter where you start.Nicole is 51, a single mom of three, and currently working on her PhD—she’s always been someone who juggles a lot. When we first met years ago, she was struggling with perimenopausal symptoms, stress, and the aftermath of an abusive relationship. Like so many women, she had tried everything to lose weight in the past, from extreme calorie restriction to excessive cardio. But it wasn’t until she found us that things really started to change for her.Over the last 18 months, Nicole has lost 30 kilos (about 66 pounds) again, and she’s done it while learning to truly understand her body. She talked about how she’s shifted her mindset from obsessing over weight loss to focusing on building muscle and improving her overall health. Nicole’s now at a place where she’s tracking her progress without letting the data control her emotionally, and she’s feeling stronger and more empowered than ever.One of the things that really stood out in our conversation was how strength training has been the most effective therapy for her. It’s not just about the physical changes, but the confidence and joy that comes with being strong and capable. She’s now doing things she couldn’t have imagined a year ago, like solo camping and just enjoying life more fully.Nicole’s advice to other women? Look beyond the quick fix. Focus on long-term health goals and find a “why” that’s bigger than just how you look. It’s about being active, healthy, and enjoying life for many years to come.I hope Nicole’s journey inspires you to keep going, even when it feels tough. Remember, this is a lifestyle change, not a race.
