Description

If you've tried all the fad diets and are sick and tired of not achieving your health and fitness goals long-term, you've come to the right place! Welcome to the Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast with me, Kristy Castillo. I'm here to help you break the annoying diet cycle, gain confidence, and reach your health and fitness goals. 

This podcast will show you how to be proud of the body you have, build the body you want, and enjoy the process along the way. I'll cover topics like how to get the most from your workouts, the importance of feeding your body what it needs, and key mindset shifts that will empower you. I've broken through the BS surrounding diet culture and built my dream body, all while being a busy wife, Mom and business owner, and I know you can too!

One of my all-time favorite topics to dive in and educate on is…MACROS!I’ve talked about macros many times in previous episodes (check some out linked below), but my goal for today’s episode is to break them down super simply, and with a bit of a fresh perspective.Macros (short for macronutrients) are the biggest piece of the puzzle; they’ve transformed sooo much for me over the years, and really changed the game for me on my fitness journey! As I’m working with many new clients right no...
Since we’re a couple of weeks into the new year, I want to dive into a topic that I believe will really resonate with you - especially if you’re just starting your fitness journey!I’m 15 years into my fitness journey; what I’m doing now looks pretty different compared to what I was doing at the beginning. I’ve learned a lot along the way, so I want to share the steps I would take if I was starting my fitness journey in 2025.One of the MOST crucial pieces to set you up for success is building ...
Happy New Year!! I wanted to kick off the first episode of 2025 in true Kristy Castillo fashion with some #realtalk (I know those are your favorite).I recently posted a question on my Instagram stories about what’s *really* holding you back from having the body you want. I received sooo many amazing responses, and I wanted to share several of those in today’s episode (thank you for taking the time to answer if you did)!As I read through your responses, it became crystal clear to me that we AL...
I can’t believe it, but…we’ve made it to the last episode of 2024!As we gear up for 2025, you may be tempted to set a ton of New Year’s resolutions. I used to do this too; I would write my resolutions down, lose the paper I wrote them on, and totally forget about them all together!Instead of going the whole ‘traditional resolutions’ route, I want to encourage you to do something a little different. When you’re thinking about the year ahead, I want you to find clarity on your ‘focus’, and get ...
I don’t know about you, but this time of year has me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and definitely TIRED. I’m often asked about navigating fatigue on your fitness journey. I’m feeling pretty damn fatigued myself right now, so I thought it was fitting to dive into this topic for today’s episode!For some reason, we beat ourselves up when we feel so tired, and we think something is *wrong* with us if we don’t feel great every.single.day. As human beings, we have SO much happening both withi...
Today’s episode is covering a topic that is pretty widespread, and affects all of us in some way or another: self-sabotage. Self-sabotage is complicated, and it can manifest in countless ways - the root of where it stems from within each of us is different, too. From our fitness goals to our personal ambitions, self-sabotage can rear its ugly head and realllly hinder us from making the progress we want to in our lives. Even though it’s a bit conflicting, self-sabotage can be both in...
When it comes to our health and fitness, we tend to make it sooo damn complicated. This isn’t necessarily our fault. We are constantly bombarded with information from coaches and influencers on social media, to health and wellness companies trying to sell us the ‘next best thing’. It’s exhausting, overwhelming, and honestly..I’m OVER IT!I’ve been on my fitness journey for over 16 years now, and I’ve learned how powerful REPETITION is.No, it’s not the *sexiest* topic, or super exciting. I...
It’s that time of year again - the holidays are upon us!I know this time of year is hectic; the holidays are fun, but also suuuper busy, stressful, and can feel really hard.You can think of today’s episode as your ‘holiday survival guide’ in regards to your fitness journey. I know you’ll be hearing plenty of tips and tricks on how to navigate the holidays without gaining weight or getting ‘off track’. You may also hear that it’s okay to just say f*ck it, and start over in January.Well..I’m no...

Today’s episode is covering a couple of different topics that are important to me, especially as I’m currently navigating perimenopause!I feel like I’m in the ‘thick of it’ with perimenopause, and am really struggling with certain changes. Lately, I just don’t recognize my body. Sure, my body *looks* fine, and it could all just be in my head. But..I feel like my muscle is leaving my body, deteriorating, and things are changing in ways I wasn’t quite prepared for.I’ve learned that being proact...
When you think about rewarding yourself on your fitness journey…what comes to mind?Maybe you’re excited to go out and celebrate at your favorite restaurant with your family and friends, or..maybe you’re excited simply because you’re noticing beneficial changes happening within you. Regardless of how you like to reward yourself when you reach a new goal or milestone on your fitness journey, there’s not a ‘wrong’ way to do so!This is a topic that’s come up recently with several of my clients, s...
There’s a topic I’ve been dying to dive into on the podcast. I’ve been feeling especially frustrated about it lately (and I’m betting you can relate), so I knew it was time to bring it here!I want to share my thoughts on the harsh effects of social media on your fitness journey.

I’m very excited to be BACK with my amazing guest, Erin Burns, for today’s part 2 episode!If you haven’t listened to part 1 from last week, make sure you do that first, and then come back to this one.In today’s conversation, Erin and I discuss how thoughts like shame and guilt can get you stuck in a vicious cycle of ‘suck’, and how anxiety comes into play. Years ago, anxiety wasn’t something that people typically dealt with, but now...it’s everywhere! Getting to the ‘root’ of your anxiet...
I’m beyond excited to welcome my very first GUEST, Erin Burns, onto the podcast today!I’ve contemplated whether or not to have guests on my podcast, because I always want to make sure you’re getting the best information and value possible.

I’m excited to talk with you all about how I set up my own personal training programming in today’s episode!There are plenty of ways to set up your workouts each week, and there’s really no right or wrong answer in regards to how they should be. I’ve had quite the journey with my workouts over the years. From being an avid runner to doing only Beachbody workouts, to then finding weightlifting and falling in love with that, I’ve tried a little bit of everything!I’ve grown to love workouts that...

Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, an injury that’s resulting in surgery, mental health issues, or something else, we all face struggles that require us to change and pivot.It’s totally okay to take some time off and/or adjust when you’re experiencing a major lif...
I’m digging into one of my favorite topics today - MACROS! I looove the world of macronutrients (aka macros), but I’ve found this is something that gets very overcomplicated for people as they’re navigating their fitness journeys. There is no shortage of information about macros today, but even if you feel like you understand macros fairly well, that doesn’t mean you know how to make them work for you. I freaking LOVE the flexibility and freedom that macros have brought me; that’s w...
I’m super excited to be chatting with you, all about the Oura Ring today!I’ve been using my Oura Ring for almost a year now, and I’ve gotten quite a few questions about what I think of it. Honestly..it’s been a game-changer for my overall health, and it’s a seriously great product!

Today’s episode topic may be a bit of a ‘buzzkill’, but..we’re going there anyway!An ongoing challenge that many of us face (it comes up ALL.THE.TIME. with my clients), is staying on track on the weekends. There’s a variety of reasons why people tend to fall ‘off track’ regularly on the weekends, but this episode isn’t going to be filled with a bunch of corny ‘tips’, because this isn't a 'one-size-fits-all'. I recently went out of town over the weekend and had a blast, but I didn’t go ‘b...
One of my favorite things to talk about is habits. They are so, SO important when it comes to unf*cking your fitness, and honestly..I want you to be obsessed with your habits! When I say ‘obsessed’, I don’t mean that in a super unhealthy way of course. But..I DO want you to be obsessed with the habits you’re creating and implementing, instead of being obsessed with the outcome (yes, there’s a difference)! Your habits should be a priority, and something to honor and protect, no matter wha...
