Description
Liv Aligned Podcast is a holistic wellness podcast rooted in real life.
From nourishing food and low-tox living to parenting, community, and intentional health. This is a space for slowing down, tuning in, and "living aligned"
Formerly What the F…45!, the show has grown beyond workouts into a fuller picture of what it means to be well especially with a young family.
The What the F…45! podcast was rooted in fitness, strength, and our life owning F45 Hamilton Downtown. As our family, values, and health journey have grown, so has the podcast.
Liv Aligned is a natural next chapter for me (Amanda).
It is still grounded in nutrition and wellness, but with more space for real life, family, and holistic living! Hope you enjoy!
Here's what to expect:
- raw and honest conversations (not wellness perfection)
- practical nutrition and lifestyle tools for metabolic health and longevity
- grounded parenting and family life reflections
- local wellness voices and community stories
- encouragement to live well in a sustainable and realistic way
About Amanda :
I’ve been a certified holistic nutritionist since 2014 and have continued stacking certifications ever since. I specialize in everything from show-ready bodybuilding prep (I've competed too and won Novice Bikini in 2019) to integrative health, where I work with functional medicine labs like HTMA ( heavy metals), OAT (organic acids), hormone panels, omega fatty acids, and food sensitivity testing.
Movement is a huge part of my life, and I’m certified in Yoga, Acro Yoga, Pilates, Personal Training, and Fascial Stretch Therapy, so I take a full-body, whole-life approach to health. When I’m not coaching or with my family, you’ll usually find me cooking from scratch, baking sourdough, or making chocolate chip cookies. I truly believe food is medicine, and that slowing down to cook and eat real food together is one of the best ways to connect and feel our best.

Ian has been a member of ours for 8 months and joined post lockdown number 1. Since then he has been on an unstoppable mission and has lost 45lbs and dropped 18% body fat! He's been serious about his movement at F45 and beyond the gym adding lots of walks and tracking his TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). He's also taken his nutrition seriously by tracking macros and working with Coach Andy for added guidance and accountability. This has ensured that he has not lost any muscle during thi...

As our lives shifted, so did the conversations. Now, Liv Aligned explores: holistic nutritionsimple, nourishing recipeslow-tox and conscious livingmotherhood, fatherhood, and family rhythmswellness tips t...
Andy and Jb give you very interesting and positive perspective on the novel corona virus - one that the media rarely shares with you. They follow this up with the best way to prevent and/or get over ANY sickness quickly. From supplements, to optimized sleep and recovery, to training. Not so surprisingly - what makes you resilient against viruses also makes you resilient against any chronic illness. When we focus on "the fire and not just the smoke" we get to the root cause of ill...
In this episode, we’re diving into our journey with different styles of therapy — from individual work to sessions we’ve done together and how each has shaped our relationship in unexpectedly positive, more accepting ways. We’re definitely not claiming perfection (in fact, we had a small tiff the day before recording this). That little friction actually became the inspiration for this conversation. It gave us the opportunity to sit down, revisit it openly, and talk things through without emot...
In this episode we dig into Justin's Experience with Whole Body MRI in Mississauga, ON.

In this episode, we focus on longevity in regards to training and recovery. In training, It's so important to consider our future selves/bodies. Recovery is often forgotten or only used when we are injured which is definitely NOT a longevity strategy. So we find ourselves reminding members (and sometimes ourselves) about the long game! *We recoded this on Feb 1st then misplaced our adapter cable to upload! hahaha BUT we finally got it up!

A question (or really, a statement) we hear ALL the time. "I think I need to do a bulk". This sparked the podcast topic today to inform members on what that really means and if you're actually ready for such an endeavour. Following that we tell you how to cut PROPERLY and slowly after the potential BULK phase. This is a MUCH longer process than you may imagine. The dedication to diet and increasing training volume and intensity are not trivial. Listen in and learn how, why and when we recomme...
