Dairy is often misunderstood, with so much conflicting advice out there. But if you’ve been told to avoid dairy, or you’ve struggled with digestive issues, this episode of the Weight Loss for Women Podcast: Empowering Health, Strength, and Nourishment is a must-listen!I sat down with food writer, chef, and farmer Matthew Evans to talk all things dairy—its nutritional power, cultural significance, and why it’s one of the most misunderstood foods today.Here are some of the key insights:💡 Dairy’s Nutritional Superpowers: Did you know it’s nearly impossible to match dairy’s calcium bioavailability with plant-based alternatives? You’d need 22 glasses of soy milk to match the calcium in ONE glass of real milk!💡 The Digestive Issue Myth: Many people aren’t truly lactose intolerant. Often, a stressed digestive system or low metabolic health is the real culprit. With proper healing, many of our clients find they can reintroduce dairy and enjoy it again.💡 Better Than Plant Milks: Plant-based “milks” are ultra-processed and lack the nutrients found in real dairy. While oat or almond milk might make your coffee look creamier, they don’t even come close nutritionally.Matthew and I also talked about how misconceptions around dairy have led to women missing out on its incredible benefits, like calcium for strong bones, high-quality protein, and other bioavailable nutrients essential for optimal health.If you’re a lover of real milk, ice cream, cheese (hello, Gouda and feta! 😍), or just want to learn how to enjoy dairy again, this episode is packed with actionable tips and fascinating facts!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 SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
🌟 "This program saved my life." 🌟Meet Deb, a 54-year-old single mom of three, who just a year and a half ago felt stuck, frustrated, and unsure of how to move forward. Like many women, she had tried every diet—Zone, South Beach, Weight Watchers, Noom—only to find herself back at square one, scared of food (even rice!) and with no lasting results.In 2022, after a meniscus tear left her immobile, Deb hit a low point. Her energy was gone, sleep was disrupted, digestion was off, and she felt defeated. But she made a decision: she wasn’t going down without a fight.That’s when she found our podcast, joined the program, and everything changed. Here’s what Deb’s achieved since:✨ From 38% to 21% body fat (a total loss of 17%!)✨ 76 cm lost overall and confidence to wear anything she wants✨ Clearer skin, better digestion, and full nights of restful sleep✨ A completely transformed mindset—no fear of regaining weight because she now has the tools for lifeWhat stood out most to Deb wasn’t just the physical transformation—it was the support and guidance she received from her coach, Kathleen:💬 “For 30 years, I tried to figure it out on my own and failed. This program gave me a plan, the tools, and someone I could trust every step of the way.”Deb’s story is a testament to what’s possible when you let go of quick fixes and commit to sustainable change.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 SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

This podcast was a raw, deep dive into the complexities of life, relationships, and self-discovery.Last year Craig and I went through an incredibly hard time in our relationship. During this time we worked with Max and Greta who helped us navigate the challenges we faced.This episode wasn’t just about the usual fitness or nutrition tips but about understanding the layers within ourselves and our relationships.We delved into the concept of masculine and feminine energies and how they shape our experiences and dynamics with others. Both Greta and Max shared powerful insights on childhood wounds, and it made me think about how much of what we experience as adults—our pain, our fears, our triggers—roots back to unresolved pieces of our past.One thing I learnt last year was that every relationship, romantic or otherwise, can act as a mirror. Max explained how, through his own marriage, he’s found ways to lean into that vulnerability, allowing space for true healing and connection. It’s not easy, especially when we’ve spent years building walls or staying in control to protect ourselves. One of the many things I took away from their coaching, is that a conscious relationship is a gift—a chance to truly see and be seen, to create a connection that’s deep, real, and sustainable.To those of you exploring these parts of yourselves, you’re not alone. If this resonates, join us in this episode—it’s worth every minute.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 SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldMax Trombly @maxtromblyGreta Zukoff @gretazukoffAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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 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.

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 + 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 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.
