07 Feb 2022A 3 day and 4 day Training Program for Women00:07:45

Let's get into the differences between a three-day week and a four-day-a-week program and then I'll go into the 5-day a week program as well at the end. First off,  the workout that you can stick to is the one that's going to be the most effective. If you only have 3 days a week to commit that is perfectly fine, if you have 4 days a week to commit that is awesome as well but if you consistently miss one of those days in a 4 week upper/lower split and you're only getting in 3 days a week then that would be a disadvantage.

This podcast will tell you exactly how I program a 3 day and 4 day a week workout.

27 Feb 2022Gut Health: 4 Ways to Support a Healthy Gut00:03:55

Our gut health has implications beyond healthy digestion; the state of our gut health can also regulate our mood, immune response and predisposition to weight gain.  The gut relies on just the right balance of different bacteria to digest our food and to prevent infection and inflammation.   The integrity of our gut lining can become compromised if it’s constantly being exposed to irritants through diet and environment.  The western diet is associated with dysbiosis, this is a disruption in the gut bacterial profile.  In other words, the bad bacteria outnumber the good.  

How Can You Support Your Gut?
There are a few ways to improve gut health like exercise, stress management, and a healthy diet centered on protein, healthy fat and healthy carbohydrates in the form of fruits, vegetables and grains.

06 Mar 2022Skinny Fat-What is it and How to Fix It00:03:31

Skinny fat refers to someone who has too little muscle mass and too much body fat. 

People who are skinny fat often look normal or even skinny when wearing clothes, but look soft, weak, and flabby underneath.

You can become skinny fat by making diet and training mistakes. Severely restricting your calories, under eating protein, not lifting weights or not lifting weights properly, or doing too much cardio.

13 Mar 2022Cortisol and Stress00:04:48

I’m sure you’re not surprised to hear that stress  has a huge impact on your hormones, your body, and your overall health. Stress has very real, physical effects on your body, and that’s because of the hormone cortisol.

Your body is releasing cortisol too frequently and that impacts everything in your body.

27 Mar 2022Is Your Diet and Exercise Program Helping You or Hurting You?00:04:09

When we think of stress we think of things that make a stressed like emails from our boss or family crisis or even somebody just cutting us off in the road but stress comes in many different forms. 

Having too many calories or even not enough calories is a stress on the body. Your body prefers maintenance calories it doesn't always want to be in a deficit and it doesn't always want extra calories these both add stress to the body. 

Just like with calories you can you can exercise too much or too little. Working out 5 to 7 days a week and not taking rest days is a huge stress on the body. Again your body needs those rest days to recover from the stress of the workouts that you're putting them through.

My 6 week program Jump Start, is a nutrition and exercise reboot. I will set your calories and macros for you, whether  you are undereating or overeating and you will get a 3 day a week full body workout program that can be done at home or in the gym. I offer this program 4 x a year, we start 4/4

The parasympathetic system controls your rest, relax, and digest response. When the parasympathetic system is dominant, your breathing slows, your heart rate drops, your blood pressure lowers, and your body is brought back into a calm and healing state.

10 Jul 2022Why Protein is Important, Especially For Women Over 4000:07:28

Being a woman in midlife means you’re way more likely to be losing muscle than gaining it. As we get older we don’t have the same level of muscle protein synthesis that we once did. 

We actually require more protein, especially during menopause, where we have a decline in estrogen, increase in cortisol, and decrease in growth hormone and testosterone, accelerating muscle loss. Since most women don’t have a lot of muscle mass to start with, it’s critical at this time to ensure more than just “adequate” amounts of protein. 

For more ideas on how to get in protein, join my free 5 day challenge. I will be popping in the group all week going live with tips and answering questions. Be sure to join me live on Tuesday as I give a quick tour of my pantry and fridge, showing you how I get in 40-50 grams of protein at each meal! I’ll post the link to join but you can go to my website at http://katalystfitness.net

17 Jul 2022Do You Need To Track Macros to Lose Weight?00:06:27

Do you have to track macros to lose weight?  No, but if you want to see results then  the fastest way to get there would be to track your macros. This is what we have our clients do at Katalyst Fitness.  You may not want to hear this but honestly having this inconvenience for a few months is way more easier than the inconvenience of spinning your wheels month after month and not getting anywhere, maybe losing the same pounds over and over or even worse being stuck or gaining weight. Tracking macros to lose weight is the fastest way to get really dialed in on what is happening with your nutrition,  what you’re eating, and where your calories are coming from.

06 Aug 2022Overcoming Cravings for women in menopause. 4 reasons why you have those late night munchies.00:06:00

Craving Foods at Night?

Here are 4 reasons why you just can't stop eating those late night snacks.

1. You're not eating enough during the day.

This one is very common. Grabbing a coffee for breakfast and then having a salad or something light for lunch, maybe a light snack before dinner, and then a "healthy" dinner, staying away from carbs.

Most women need around 2000 calorie to maintain their weight, when the body doesn't get the calories it needs, it will elevate the hunger hormone ghrelin. This is typically at night as the mind/body senses the balance in calories it needs and what it's been given so far, enter cravings!

2. You're not eating full meals.

Always grazing and not eating full meals will lead to cravings. If you eat a regular meal you will feel full and satisfied, constantly snacking but never getting in enough calories will set you up for those cravings later. Take the time to eat a full meal at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

3. You're overly restricting yourself.

When you eliminate foods that you love you're setting yourself up for craving that food. Telling yourself that you won't have pizza or sweets for any length of time rarely works, it actually backfires as now your mind can only think of what it's not getting and will prompt those cravings. Have you ever told your kid not to touch a hot stove only to see them have an uncontrollable urge to do it?

4. You're not eating enough protein.

Protein is king when it comes to killing cravings, it will help keep you full and satiated for hours. To find out how many calories and protein you should be getting a day, use this online calorie calculator: https://plan.katalystfitness.net

If you struggle with cravings at night, I recommend you try the free 5 day Menopot Meltdown Challenge, you can start any time. I have had so many women say that this has helped them eliminate those late night snacking binges!

07 Aug 2022Weight Training for Women in menopause. If you're not working your muscles, you're losing them!00:08:37

Weight training for women in menopause
Why it’s important, what to do and the 4 mistakes you may be making
Why is strength trining so important for women in menopause? As we age we lose muscle, this process starts around the age of 40 so if you're not actively building muscle you are losing it. This will slow down your metabolism and lead to having more fat on your body even though your eating the same and doing the same activity
What to do
Lift 3-5 times a week, whatever you have time for the program you can stick to will be the one that’s most effective.
Aim for no more than 45 min. When in menopause we want to focus on building the muscle, the most effective time frame in my opinion is 45 minutes, I don’t think anything good happens after 45 minutes if you are working out hard enough.
The 4 mistakes you may be making
1.Not lifting heavy enough
2.Not lifting with intention just going through the motions
3.Doing cardio between sets and not resting
4. Changing up your workouts all the time
I will link the video to a 3 day and 4 day program that I do I hope this helps! Please subscribe and share this with a friend if you found this helpful.

21 Aug 2022The Benefits of Weight Training in Menopause and How To Get Started00:06:02

The benefits of weight training for menopausal women. 

As you may know, going through menopause is no picnic. Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings can make life pretty miserable. That coupled with the altered shape that happens to our bodies can make for a frustrating phase in a woman’s life. However, there is one silver lining to this hormonal storm: weight training can help to alleviate some of the symptoms of menopause. 

Regular resistance training can help to reduce hot flashes and night sweats by regulating body temperature. In addition, weight lifting can help to improve mood by releasing endorphins, which have an antidepressant effect. Also, regular weight-bearing exercise helps to maintain bone density, which is important for preventing osteoporosis. 

By working specific muscle groups, weight training can help to tone and sculpt the arms, shoulders, and legs.

Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Warmup
2. Exercise Selection
3. Training effectively and safely
4. Allowing for rest and recovery
5. Fuel Properly

28 Aug 2022New month, new Goals, I love a September Reboot!00:06:11

Link with more info on Jump Start https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/jumpstart

New month new goals. I love September for goal setting. After the summer where I lack any real structure, I actually look forward to creating more of a structured routine. So what's needed? Well, you need A plan! One that is simple that you can put into action right away so this won't be just another month where things get added onto your already existing pile.

One way to set realistic goals is to embrace the chaos that life throws your way, or simply accepting the fact that you can't control everything. It’s never going to be the perfect time to start something and it’s never going to go perfectly as planned. From there, it's easier to focus on what's important for you and work towards achievable goals.

For example, if you want to lose weight, don't focus on depriving yourself of all your favorite foods. Instead, try incorporating more protein into your everyday routine until it becomes second nature. If you’re trying to tone up, don’t focus on how many days a week you will exercise with a crazy cardio routine that’s going to have you spending hours in the gym. Instead, think what are the most effective exercises in the least amount I can do that will yield the most results?

11 Sep 2022Kathleen Trotter: Author of Finding your Fit and Your Fittest Future Self00:35:46
This week I talked to  fitness expert, personal trainer, life coach, and author KATHLEEN TROTTER. For decades, the conventional wisdom has been that if you don't work out, it's because you're not motivated or disciplined enough. That fallacy has become a significant obstacle for people who may need a more innovative and personal approach to fitness and health. 

   Kathleen’s unique approach to fitness and coaching—namely, that a person’s mindset and      mental health is just as critical to their overall health as the number of hours they spend at the gym—sets her apart from many of her peers. Her commitment to improving the overall wellbeing of her clients rather than just helping them hit a number on the scale comes from a place of knowing what it’s like to hate your body, as she grew up overeating, sneaking junk food and using every excuse she could think of to get out of gym class until, years later, Kathleen become her own health hero.

23 Oct 2022How Tammy Plett lost 8 lbs and 13" in 3 months at 59 years young!00:21:21

How Tammy Plett lost over 8 lbs and 13.3" in 3 months AFTER menopause at 59 years young with the 90 day Menopot Meltdown Method! 

And you can too, no matter what your age is! 

Tammy started with Katalyst Fitness and Nutrition and Coach Lori Longo in May after having just been transitioned out of her job.

She realized that this was the perfect time to work on herself.

To stop the process of gaining a few pounds each year. She wanted to feel good in her skin again, confident and be happy with the process.

Everything she tried had not given her enough success to continue, causing her to lose motivation, become more depressed about it and spiral even further down. She used to be a highly motivated person and she wanted that back again.

I knew she was on the right path, she just needed to make a few tweaks to her nutrition and training, she trusted me when I said it could absolutely be done and she went all in!

Coach Lori's guidance and Tammy's positive outlook and mental state has helped her push through her fat loss journey.  She said she wanted to “Learn how to take care of myself for the rest of my days on earth.”

She said "I fit into clothes I have not worn in over 3 years. My tankini swim suit was very tight on my belly in March and very uncomfortable. I had to put it away and get out my smaller one cause that one became too loose! Feel better, more confident in my skin. Much stronger with the strength training and my body feels it."

She also mentioned that this was very easy to do and a sustainable approach to weight loss. She never felt hungry or deprived, if there was something she wanted, she had it!

30 Oct 2022Shawn Needham, a compounding pharmacist and health advocate on HRT for women00:35:47

Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Shawn Needham, a compounding pharmacist and owner of Moses Lake Pharmacy in Washington. He is very knowledgeable about hormones and we discussed HRT and testosterone for women in menopause.

Shawn and his wife Janet, (also a pharmacist) own Moses Lake Professional Pharmacy, which is a specialized compounding pharmacy creating customized solutions to health problems that drug companies cannot solve.  The pharmacy educates and empowers patients to take charge of their own health and has done so for over 20 years.  To help do this the pharmacy does not bill any insurance so they can offer better pricing and service to the individual client. Shawn is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor for University of Washington School of Pharmacy, and teaches the Advanced Compounding Course. He has spoken on topics across the nation from hormone replacement, innovative pain therapies, and marketing a pharmacy. Shawn has a passion for helping patients achieve optimum health via hormone balancing and nutrition. He loves to spend time with family, snowboarding, hiking and mountain biking. Shawn is also an Amazon best selling author with Sickened How the Government Ruined Healthcare and How to Fix it. Shawn and Janet host an ever growing podcast, Health Solutions with Shawn and Janet Needham where Team Needham discusses everything healthcare.

For our clients success we use phases throughout their journey.  An important tool that we use is a diet break. This is to eliminate diet fatigue, the stress from dieting itself, bringing back hormones and the metabolism and enables us to work around special events or holidays as well.

11 Dec 2022What I wish women knew about losing weight in menopause00:08:21

Most women think they have to slash calories and do cardio to lose weight in menopause. I talk to women every single day  who are eating 1200 calories,, cutting out carbs and working out 5-6 days a week…⁣

⁣Then they have the expectation that when they step on that scale, it is going to be down several pounds.

When this doesn’t happen, it sends them into a spiral, thinking they are stuck and they will never get the results they want. ⁣

So now you think Why bother? You throw in the towel, order a pizza and binge Netflix for a few days.

⁣Does this sound like you? Maybe I’ve even talked to you this week or last month or sometime in the past.

Here’s the thing, there’s more to losing weight than the calories in/calories out model that so many women believe to be true and  here are several factors that you might not be considering

-under eating⁣

-over exercising⁣

-not sleeping enough

-always under chronic stress 

-high estrogen/low testosterone⁣

-poor digestion ⁣

-unrealistic expectations

Just to name a few!

18 Dec 2022How I lost Weight in Menopause00:09:20

Recently someone commented on a post asking me how I lost weight in menopause. It's been awhile since I told my story but before I tell you how I lost my weight in menopause I think it's only fair to tell you what I was dealing with in peri menopause and what brought me to finally losing that weight.

I was in my late forties around 47. I've always been on a diet literally since I've had kids, so, no stranger to dieting. But I was just getting fatter and fatter each year and it was getting harder and harder to lose weight each time and it was coming back on so fast. I was also struggling with digestion issues, some big-time food intolerances, which I got tested for. I had zero sex drive and I had no energy, I was so frustrated! I was working out sometimes two times a day, I was a spin instructor (this was all before covid) I was teaching five to six classes a week and I was embarrassed to walk into the studio. I didn't look the part at all. Here I am, an instructor, and I'm just getting fatter and fatter and I was trying so hard.

In all honesty I was a classic binge and restrict model and really stuck in that cycle. I was very strict with my calories, eating 1200 calories because I thought that’s what you had to do to lose weight. So eating 1200 calories Monday through Thursday ish and then by Friday let loose of the reins. I was definitely binging on wine, cosmopolitan's and all the foods that I wasn't letting myself have during the week. Obviously that was part of the problem but I was also in the mindset that I can exercise all those calories away and so I was so frustrated with why am I gaining all this weight even though I'm doing all this exercise? Yeah, I’m eating a bit extra on the weekends but it shouldn't be that bad and I just stayed stuck in this loop for so long. Just feeling like s*** every single Monday and saying this week is going to be better and it was just exhausting and draining. I had no energy and I’m  just watching my belly get bigger and bigger. I was also suffering with hair loss as well and I knew it was time to address this issue. I said to myself,I'm going to be 50 and that's when menopause is going to hit and I’m really going to be screwed. I had no idea (seven years ago nobody was talking about menopause) and I just thought when you turn 50 that's when you're going to get this menopause belly and I realized I needed help. That's when I reached out to my coach.

That’s a little of my backstory, let's get to the good stuff, how did I lose my weight in menopause?

25 Dec 2022Hormones, Metabolism and Weight Loss in Menopause00:08:16

We will all experience the hormonal fluctuations as we transition through menopause, your lifestyle, nutrition and exercise will influence your hormones, negatively or positively. I was doing what I thought you were supposed to do, eat less and exercise more, fasting, eating very low calories during the week and doing a ton of cardio. Once I turned that around I was able to finally lose weight and feel so much better by supporting my hormones and metabolism.

Check out this weeks episode on the changes YOU can make to support your hormones and metabolism as you go through menopause.

01 Jan 2023Why I'm doing dry January (no alcohol this month!)00:11:22

Why I’m doing dry January this month! Earlier this month I came across an article by  Dr. Brooke Kalanick, I'll link it in the show notes and shared it with my clients as well. It really got me to thinking more seriously about the effect alcohol has on my body, especially as I’m going through menopause. 

I have to be honest, the past few months have been a struggle for me energy wise. I’ve recently been diagnosed with hypothyroid and also have very low testosterone and am taking a low dose of Armour for my thyroid as well as testosterone gel. I know that this has all been brought on by stress. I’ve had a lot of shit go down in the last few months.  

I always tell our clients, stress is a killer and I have NOT taken the steps needed to destress that I should have and here we are. So, with that, I knew one of the first steps was no alcohol for me but I also know me and knew I wouldn’t be able to do that over the holidays which has lead me to dry January. 

Will I go longer than 30 days? Honestly, I think I have to for my health. There are days I get out of bed and have zero energy, my workouts are lacking  and I just don’t have the drive, This isn’t because I had an extra glass of wine the night before, this fatigue is something completely different. The thyroid combined with the low test and the extra stress have taken a toll.

I’m not doing this for weight loss, I still stand firmly behind the idea that you can have alcohol and still lose weight but in doing the math I’m going to be saving roughly 2000-3500 calories a week!  

For me it’s about health, owning my shit, becoming a better business woman, showing up for myself and taking responsibility for my actions. Maybe this will inspire you to do the same and rethink your relationship with alcohol.

15 Jan 2023Dr. Michael Green the CMO of byWinona, online HRT for women in menopause.00:30:23

Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michael Green, OB/GYN  from byWinona 

The goal at Winona is to empower women to make the second half of life better than the first by providing telehealth services and prescribing our personalized bioidentical treatments to women on their menopause journey.

When should you start HRT?

What symptoms to look for?

What can you expect?

Is it hormones or lifestyle?

Women’s Health initiative 1991-1998 

Why blood work is not needed for HRT Blood pressure analogy 

Why you shouldn’t rely on birth control for menopause

Winona is a new company - we launched in April of 2021. I am really excited to be able to help in this endeavor. The prescribing and management of HRT doesn't require labs or even a physical exam. Best practice is to treat based on symptoms, which makes it ideal for this environment. Patient safety is my primary concern, and I can say that the rest of our team feels the same way. Winona helps bring symptom relief in a safe and convenient way to patients that are in need of help.

19 Feb 2023Weight loss vs Fat Loss, what's the difference?00:08:46

In today's episode, we're talking about the differences between weight loss and fat loss. Many of you may not realize that  "weight loss" and "fat loss"  are not  the same thing.

I know it’s hard to focus on health when all you want to do is lose weight in menopause, however, if we can focus on this while losing fat at the same time your results are going to be so much different than the last diet or diets that you have done in the past where you’ve lost the weight and then gained it right back.

-The cascade effect of stress and sleep on hormones and how that effects us in menopause
-Insulin resistance and the effect on weight gain in menopause

12 Mar 2023Steven Kotler on Peak Performance and Aging00:43:57

Enjoy this conversation with bestselling author Steven Kotler. Steven is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He is one of the world’s leading experts on human performance. Steven is the author of eleven bestsellers including The Art of Impossible, The Future is Faster Than You Think, Stealing Fire, The Rise of Superman, Bold and Abundance. His work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes, and has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Wall Street Journal, TIME, and the Harvard Business Review. He has explored how new technologies, neuroscience and psychology can expand our capabilities both physically and mentally. In this episode, we will dive into his new book Gnar Country which comes out Feb.28th and why Steven believes performance optimization is so important and get an inside look at his research. 

Over the past decade, there have been breakthroughs in a dozen different fields that have started to paint a whole new picture of aging. The research shows that we can sustain peak performance much later in life than anyone thought possible.

In GNAR COUNTRY, Steven shares these findings, and then dares to test them on his own body. 

Kotler challenges many of the most established myths about aging. His evidence-based arguments include: 

Aging is not only a physical process. In fact, studies have found that the right mindset toward aging can add extra seven-and-a-half years to our lives. 

The idea that all of our physical skills and mental abilities decline over time and there is nothing we can do to stop the slide is completely false. Most mental and physical skills turn out to be use-it-or-lose-it skills and if we never stop using them, if we train them properly, we can preserve and even extend what we have until very late in life. 

We are also starting to know a great deal about lifelong health and well-being. Research into exceptionally long-lived “Blue Zone” communities around the world reveal five keys to a long, happy life:

  • Move around a lot
  • De-stress regularly
  • Have robust social ties
  • Eat mostly plants and not too much of anything
  • Try to live with passion, purpose, and regular access to flow*

09 Apr 2023Always on a diet but not seeing progress? Here's why!00:14:08

Are you Stuck in a cycle of always dieting, but never getting the results you want? Not looking toned with more definition and just holding on to stubborn belly fat? Then this weeks podcast is for you!

The average woman diets twice a year, some start in their teens, others start in their 20’s. These are full on attempts at trying to lose weight followed by periods of gaining it back, eating very little to reach their goal and then going back to what they were doing before, this is also coupled with a typical week of eating very little, followed by a weekend of binging.

Repeating this cycle over and over is one of major reasons for disordered eating behaviors, hormone imbalances, not being able to lose weight and seeing belly fat come seemingly out of nowhere. We see very little progress when we attempt to diet because we are always on a diet! 
We are often thinking too short-term, just trying to lose weight, not willing to play the long game.

Being successful with fat loss (losing the jiggly stuff rather than just losing weight on the scale) depends on much more than just your current diet…

23 Apr 2023Not Losing Weight in a Deficit? Why You Can't Trust Restaurant Menus.00:07:26

 You can't trust what you see on restaurant menus. Have you ever been out to eat and ordered something you believed to be healthy, only to find out later that it's loaded with calories? Well, you're not alone.

It's no secret that nutrition facts on restaurant menus can be deceiving. In fact, a recent study found that many restaurants underestimate the calorie count of dishes by as much as 40 percent. That salad you thought was only 300 calories? Think again! 

So, what's the deal with all these misleading menu options? You can’t really hang your hat on those numbers. And also, there’s no way that 2 people are going to serve the meal the same way and most cooks in the kitchen aren’t going to serve it the way it was prepared for the nutritionist that calculated the calories. Heaping portions of rice or pasta, dishes drowning in sauce or salads dripping in dressing, there’s no way to control that. But if you're not seeing the results on the scale that you were hoping for, it's time to take a closer look at what you're really eating.

I Started a cut in May and failed miserably Here’s why I probably shouldn’t have started a cut in the first place and why now I’m in a better place.

Being in the right place mentally and physically is the key to an effective fat loss phase. If you can’t commit to making the sacrifices needed to lose fat like tracking your macros, prioritizing protein, getting in your workouts and steps, prioritizing sleep and stress management, then you’re probably not ready for a fat loss phase and that’s okay! I hate that expression, well you don’t want it bad enough because honestly I think women do want it bad enough, they’re just not ready for it emotionally or physically.

 So often I hear, I don’t have time to meal prep, I can’t eat that much protein, I don’t have time to workout. Or, I do good all week, it’s the weekends that are my downfall. Well, I hate to be harsh but you have to figure that shit out!

28 May 2023Alison Jones, down 30 lbs and 33.5 inches, hear how she did it!00:39:00

A client update on Alison Jones. Alison has been working with us at Katalyst Fitness and Nutrition and Coach Lori Longo since August 2022. Hear how she's been successful in her weight loss journey. 

She'll give you the low down on how she's changing her lifestyle for good and setting goals to reach even bigger success. Hear about her experience working with us at Katalyst Fitness and Nutrition!

During her journey, Alison had set a goal of losing weight and feeling comfortable in a bathing suit by Summer 2023. That's only the beginning. She has also been learning how to maintain her weight once she reaches her goal and has built healthy habits for a long-term lifestyle change.

She started tracking her nutrition/macros in My Fitness Pal, created some go-to meals to help her hit her goals each day, and slowly increased her weight training,  going from 3 days a week to 4 days a week with an at home workout plan I created for her. She is very consistent and almost always hits her targets, whether it's with the workouts or her nutrition, to ensure she is setting herself up for success.

So far, Alison has seen promising results with her journey. She's already lost 30 pounds and 33.5 inches and is feeling more confident and energized than ever before. I couldn't be more proud of Alison and her accomplishments so far!

If YOU want to get results like Alison, hop on a no-cost no-obligation call with me to talk about what your future can look like with us at Katalyst Fitness and Nutrition.

04 Jun 2023Victoria Pawelczyk: From Extreme Restriction and Stuck to Liberated and Losing 9 lbs and 12 inches in 9 Weeks00:45:26

Victoria's transformation with Katalyst Fitness and Nutrition is nothing short of amazing! Years of restrictive diets, culminating in the past 3 years of extreme intermittent fasting and a strict keto diet, and working out 5-6 days a week with minimal results, she decided enough was enough. 

We brought her on with Coach Lori Longo, and by reducing exercise intensity and increasing carbohydrate intake, Victoria was able to lose 9 pounds and 12 inches in just 9 weeks. Along with the physical changes she has also grown immensely with her mindset, adopting this lifestlye, embracing food freedom and letting go of the paralyzing and crippling thoughts around the scale and food. 

This is a testament to the power of a balanced approach to nutrition and fitness. Congratulations, Victoria!

09 Jul 2023Are YOU the Reason You Can't lose Weight?00:14:18

Are YOU the reason you can't lose weight?

There's 3 things that can get in your way:

Knowledge: Is it hormones, genetics or age? These will have an influence on weight loss but you need to educate yourself on why, lack of knowledge is what's getting in your way here. 

Time: No time to meal prep, can't get to the gym? We spend 18 hours doing menial tasks each week, really it's a matter of time management.

Money: Limiting beliefs around money. I can't afford a coach. Can you afford to not make a change? If you stay the same, what is the cost of staying stuck? Are you getting passed over for promotions or not being seen or heard? If my car breaks down I'm hiring a mechanic, not going onto YouTube to fix the problem to save some money.

16 Jul 2023William Grazione: Navigating Metabolic Adaptation in Menopause00:53:19

On this episode of Mastering Menopause, I’m joined by William Grazione, also known as the Educated Dieter. We discuss the specific challenges women face during menopause and the importance of educating women on what happens to their bodies during this transition. We also address adipose weight gain and offer advice on how to address it.


William emphasizes the need for women to prepare themselves in their early forties for the menopause transition. He advises against dramatic underfeeding and chronically exercising, which can negatively affect hormones in the long term. Instead, he suggests focusing on building muscle and optimizing hormones and the metabolism.


William stresses the importance of lifting weights and getting as strong as possible, as it becomes harder to build muscle as women age due to anabolic resistance. This episode highlights the adverse effects of chronic dieting, such as down regulatory side effects of the thyroid and loss of muscle mass, which can slow down metabolism. Listen for more valuable insights and practical tips for women going through menopause to improve their health and well-being.

23 Jul 2023Menopause, Exercise and Cardiometabolic Health00:09:12

Menopause and the cardiometabolic changes that occur and how we can improve our health with regular physical exercise. I’m citing an article that I found titled The cardiometabolic benefits of exercise in postmenopausal women written by Steven G. Chrysant MD, PhD

Link to full article is here.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/jch.13968


  • Menopause and the decrease in estrogen levels is associated with significant cardiometabolic changes.
  • Cardiometabolic changes include weight gain, abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, T2Diabetes, elevated triglycerides and elevated glucose levels, and obesity-related hypertension. This can lead to an increased risk of a heart attack, stroke and diabetes
  • It has been shown that Sedentary menopausal women are at risk of bone and muscle mass loss leading to osteoporosis and sarcopenia.
  • While Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is beneficial, not everyone is a suitable candidate. 
  • Regular Physical exercise has been shown to have positive cardio metabolic effects on women in menopause, decreasing blood pressure, improving lipid levels, decreasing hypertension, lowering weight and abdominal fat and managing blood sugar.

06 Aug 2023Macros and Menopause Master Class: How to leverage macros in menopause00:46:59

This week I did a master class on macros and menopause, and I thought I would share it with you!

During this interactive Zoom meeting Kathy discussed various topics related to macros and their role in optimizing nutrition during menopause. She explained that macros are the different components of calories, including fats, carbs, and proteins. Tracking macros helps understand where calories come from and how to balance them effectively for a healthy diet.

Balancing macronutrients, especially protein, carbs, and fats, is essential for maintaining weight and muscle mass. Kathy emphasized that protein is satiating, helps build muscle, and is not stored as fat, while carbs provide energy and fiber.

I discussed the significance of including carbohydrates, fats, and protein in their diets for overall energy, digestion, brain function, and body composition. I stressed the need to fill these "containers" with appropriate macros without drastically eliminating any specific nutrient group.

I talked about the breakdown of calories and grams for a balanced diet. We also touched upon the role of probiotics and the importance of tracking protein intake for optimal nutrition and digestion.

I discussed the connection between balanced macros, nutrition, and key aspects of well-being such as sleep, energy, mood, and libido during menopause. We also calculated Sue's personalized macros using this calculator https://plan.katalystfitness.net tailoring her nutrition to improve her overall health.

27 Aug 2023Dr. Anshul Gupta: 3 Steps to Reverse Hashimoto's: Lose Weight, End Fatigue and Reduce Brain Fog00:39:24

In today's episode, we have a special guest, Dr. Anshul Gupta, a Board-Certified Family Medicine Physician with advanced certification in Functional Medicine. Dr. Gupta has helped thousands of patients reverse their health issues using functional medicine concepts. He is also the best-selling author of "Reversing Hashimoto's: A 3-Step Process for Losing Weight, Ending Fatigue, and Reducing Brain Fog." His book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and reversing Hashimoto's disease, offering practical strategies and evidence-based approaches to help patients achieve optimal wellness.

During the interview, Dr. Gupta explains that Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and an under active thyroid. He was inspired to write "Reversing Hashimoto's" to empower individuals to take control of their health and provide them with effective strategies to reverse this condition


Common symptoms of Hashimoto's disease include fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, depression, constipation, and cold intolerance. However, symptoms can vary from person to person.


Dr. Gupta highlights that an integrative medicine approach to treating Hashimoto's disease differs from conventional medicine by addressing root causes and imbalances. Integrative medicine focuses on nutrition, lifestyle modifications, stress management, and targeted supplementation, rather than solely relying on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.


Diet and lifestyle modifications play a crucial role in reversing Hashimoto's disease. Patients should follow an anti-inflammatory diet, eliminating potential triggers like gluten and dairy. They should also prioritize stress management, quality sleep, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight.


Supplements and natural therapies can complement treatment for Hashimoto's disease. Dr. Gupta recommends specific supplements like selenium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and herbs like ashwagandha. However, it is important to work with a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

10 Sep 2023Catherine Staffieri RD/N Nutrition Manager at Nutrisense: Tracking glucose levels to monitor health in menopause.00:30:46

On this episode I'm joined by Catherine Staffieri. We discuss blood glucose and the impact on your health, especially during menopause. Using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) you can see the impact that your diet and training has on your blood glucose and Catherine discusses why it can be  helpful to know that information.

Catherine is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist currently working as a Nutrition Manager at Nutrisense, one of the fastest growing healthtech start-ups aimed to help anyone discover and reach their health potential. 

She holds a Masters in Nutrition Education from Columbia University and completed her undergrad work at the University of Pennsylvania.  Catherine’s philosophy is that you’re never too old to make changes in your life to better your mind, your body and your well being.

Catherine focuses on the value of monitoring health metrics such as blood glucose levels. Small lifestyle modifications can lead to notable health improvements. Particular emphasis is placed on the usefulness of tracking blood glucose for women, particularly, those in the stages of menopause.

October is menopause awareness month. This episode is to celebrate the fact that there are now more conversations about menopause, it's no longer a taboo subject.

In this episode I talk about the basics and what you can do to help YOURSELF as you are going through the stages of menopause.

Listen to podcasts, read a few books, find a doctor that understands.

Too many women are waging war with their own bodies, making matters worse.  I'm here to help you as much as I can by giving you simple solutions to address your unique symptoms, most of those symptoms can, and must, be addressed through lifestyle changes.

29 Oct 2023Self Compassion: How to Improve Your Mental Health and Wellbeing in Menopause00:06:05

Today, we're going to be diving into mindset and something that has helped me a ton.  We're going to be talking about self compassion. And that is definitely something that is easier said than done for women. We tend to be really hard on ourselves and very self-critical, but it is actually a life changer and can significantly improve your wellbeing during menopause and I've seen that firsthand and it's affects personally and also while guiding our clients as well.

Navigating menopause, it's not just about hot flashes and mood swings. It's also about using your emotional strength in this hugely transformative phase  of your life. That's where self compassion comes into play. I believe it is super important for not just our mental health, but also our just general wellbeing.

04 Nov 2023It's my Birthday Week! Recap of being 55, what this last year looked like for me.00:09:49

It's Scorpio season! With my birthday coming up this week I sat and reflected on everything that has happened to me this past year, personally and business wise. It's been a year! 

I don't usually make a big deal out of my birthday but, you can bet, with my birthday being on a Wednesday, I will take advantage of the weekend before! We are going to Vegas on Sunday, going to my favorite restaurant, Javiers and staying the night at Aria. I also have Van der Pumps in Paris on the list.  Since moving from the East Coast, I haven't been to Trader Joe's so that is on the list too!

12 Nov 2023Can't lose weight in menopause? Maybe it's your thyroid, here's what to look for.00:11:51

It's very common for women to experience thyroid issues when we are transitioning through the stages of menopause. This is largely due to stress. As our hormones change we are in a stressed state, add to that dieting and lifestyle practices and that's a recipe for issues with the thyroid! In this episode I talk about what to look for and what I experienced personally. 

Common symptoms are:
Fatigue 
Hair loss, 
Cold hands and feet and 
Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
Here is what to test for and the optimal ranges:

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): The ideal range for TSH is typically between 0.5 and 2.5 milli-international units per liter (mIU/L), but this can vary slightly depending on the lab. However, many experts believe that for optimal thyroid function, TSH should be closer to the lower end of this range. Everyone's optimal will vary a bit.

Total T4 (Thyroxine): The optimal range for total T4 usually falls between 6.0 and 11.9 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL).

Free T4: 1.4 to 1.8 (ng/dL).

Free T3 (Triiodothyronine): Free T3 should ideally fall within the range of 3.4 to 4.4 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).

Reverse T3: An optimal reverse T3 level is generally considered to be less than 15 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL).

26 Nov 2023Client Transformation: How Angie went from stuck and gaining weight to losing 14 lbs and 14.5 inches in 12 weeks!00:25:45

𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐞'𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 😍  𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟒 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟏𝟒.𝟓 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥 so far 𝐢𝐧 𝟑 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬.

Angie sought our help out of frustration. She was working out hard at the gym, eating around 1500 calories on average and just not seeing results. She wanted to see the muscle she was working so hard to build but the fat just wouldn't go away. 😩

Angie went from eating 1500 calories and not seeing any results in spite of working out HARD in the gym to eating MORE and gaining muscle while losing weight and inches! Her confidence has skyrocketed and she’s feeling amazing. 🥳

Implementing the Mastering Menopause Method, we started Angie in the first phase, 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞, showing her that by eating more we could revive her metabolism and have her thriving off those calories, dropping fat and preparing her body for a deficit to promote weight loss.

Her weight fluctuated by 3 pounds in the 2 months we had her at 2300 calories but her inches went down steadily. This is fat loss and body recomp. 👊

Many women find themselves in the same position that Angie was. By restricting calories and under fueling Angie's metabolism was slowed way down. This leads to frustration and multiple attempts at diets that end up failing. 🤦‍♀️

A lot of women end up under eating, never getting results. Once we were able to increase her metabolism by adjusting her macros to include more calories and leveraging protein, Angie was able to finally start seeing the fat decrease as she was increasing muscle gains. Just 2 weeks ago she hit a deadlift PR of 315! 💪🏻 

Angie was absolutely committed to trusting the process, found new recipes and carved out time each day/week to meal prep, showing up for herself and inspiring others. 

If you’re ready get started and to crush your goals BEFORE2024 send me a message on Facebook or Instagram, commenting “Angie” and I’ll send you details.

10 Dec 20235 simple ways that you can lose weight this month without counting calories!00:06:21

Looking to shed some weight this month without the stress of counting calories? Here are five practical strategies:


Prioritize Protein: Aim for three protein-rich meals daily. Protein not only provides essential nutrients but also suppresses your appetite, helping you avoid calorie-laden snacks.

Home-cooked Meals: Try to eat at home from Monday through Friday, reserving high-calorie meals for weekends. Remember, restaurant meals often have hidden calories, so reducing your dining out frequency can significantly impact your weight loss journey.


Boost Your Veggie Intake: Incorporate a large salad or triple portion of vegetables into your daily diet. This simple step will increase your nutrient and fiber intake, promoting gut health and managing calorie consumption without the need for meticulous counting.


Daily Walks: Commit to a 30-minute walk every day. Not only is walking excellent for maintaining energy balance and aiding digestion, but it's also a fantastic way to prevent weight gain. Feel free to split your walks into shorter sessions if that suits you better.


Mind Your Alcohol: Alcohol packs a hefty calorie punch. Try limiting your intake to two drinks and reducing the number of days you drink. If this seems challenging, consider reassessing your relationship with alcohol. Perhaps join me for a dry January?

I hope these tips empower you on your weight loss journey. Stay tuned for next week, where I'll share valuable advice on avoiding and managing bloating from holiday foods.

17 Dec 2023How to avoid the bloat from holiday foods.00:08:09

Holiday foods can often lead to bloating, leaving us feeling uncomfortable and lethargic. Here's how you can both manage and prevent this issue:

Move More: A mini trampoline or dancing to your favorite music can help stimulate digestion. If you prefer walking, add a bit of hip wiggle for extra effect.

Yoga Poses: Knees-to-chest, happy baby, and spinal twist are three yoga poses that can help release gas and reduce bloating. Check out my Instagram or TikTok for a de-bloat flow.

Bloating-Reducing Foods: Opt for pineapples, papayas, cucumbers, fermented foods, and ginger. Avoid gas-causing foods like broccoli and cabbage.

Digestive Enzymes: If you're prone to bloating, consider having a digestive enzyme on hand.

Preventing Bloating:


Stay Hydrated: Amid the holiday hustle, don't forget to drink water. Proper hydration aids digestion and helps prevent bloating.

Daily Activity: Incorporate daily movement into your routine. Whether it's a brisk post-dinner walk or a midday yoga session, any activity can aid digestion and reduce bloating.

Recognize Your Triggers: Some foods might cause bloating more than others. Be mindful of these triggers and consume them in moderation.


Probiotics and Fermented Foods: Foods like kimchi and pickled veggies can promote gut health, aiding digestion and preventing bloating.

If you find these tips helpful, please consider leaving a 5-star review. This helps me reach more women like you! Stay tuned for next week when I'll share insights about client transformation journeys, common weight loss mistakes, and how to maintain your weight loss.

24 Dec 2023How we use a 3 phase approach for successful weight/fat loss.00:13:07

The true transformation in a weight loss journey is the mindset shift rather than just physical changes.

Katalyst Fitness uses three phases in a transformation process: the primer phase,  accelerated fat loss phase, and maintenance phase.

Spending time in maintenance is crucial for successful weight loss as it revives the metabolism and teaches proper habits for lasting change.

In a deficit there may be setbacks such as hitting a plateau or going on vacation. This is where adherence to protocols like protein intake, hydration, and sleep become important instead of just dropping calories further.

Taking planned breaks is also beneficial for avoiding diet fatigue.

Finding true maintenance calories can take 2-4 weeks but once established, it becomes the new normal for daily meals without strict tracking necessary.

A realistic expectation for weight loss is 0.5-1 pound per week on average with consistency being key for continued results.

To start off 2024 on a healthy note, reserve a spot now for one-on-one coaching  by booking a call with us (link below) or filling out the application https://go.katalystfitness.net/mmmapplication to see if we'd be a good fit to work together with Katalyst Fitness starting January 1st or whenever you're ready.

31 Dec 2023How to Rock Your Weight Loss Journey in 202400:13:06

Happy New Year!

Instead of preparing to throw everything out of your pantry and embark on an ambitious workout routine, you can do this instead to rock your weight loss journey in 2024. 

First of all, I would reflect on your health Journey so far and assess what worked and what didn't work. 

What are your goals? When we set goals we want to make sure that those are achievable goals and then reverse engineer how you're going to make that happen.   

Is it that you want to lose 10 pounds by Spring that's realistic but if you’re looking to lose 10 pounds by your February cruise that’s not realistic. 

Sure you can do it with an extreme diet but it will come back and then some.  
Aren’t you tired of yoyo dieting? Gaining and losing the same weight over and over?

In this episode I will show you how to rock your weight loss journey in 2024, lose weight once and for all, without embarking on a super aggressive diet or workout routine.

07 Jan 2024Susan Salenger Author Of Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System00:31:54

Susan Salenger discusses her book Sidelined:How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System which is about empowering women's healthcare advocacy.

Motivation for writing Sidelined and advocating for women's health

Susan detailed her own unnecessary surgery experience and subsequent research revelations about women's health inequalities that inspired her to write Sidelined. She aims to inform women directly on their rights and resources.

Common reasons women don't question doctors 

Susan's interviews found women prioritize others' needs above their own health due to busyness. They hesitate to question doctors or seek second opinions to avoid conflict. This passive approach risks health consequences from unaddressed misdiagnoses.

Importance of getting second opinions and understanding diagnoses

Given diseases' symptom mimicry, second opinions are important checks, especially for serious treatments. Women should clarify diagnoses by researching definitions and asking what else it could indicate. Doctors see expectations not full pictures.

Tips for taking control of your health and doctor visits 

Women should prepare prioritized symptom lists and record visits. They should clarify diagnoses, treatments, and further questions for the doctor. Bringing advocates and repeating back discussions ensures understanding in the rushed system.

Vitality and exercise in the 80s, genetics, and medical gaslighting 

Susan attributes her energy to exercise, genetics and purposeful work. She discussed ageism in medicine like her mother's misdiagnosed drug reaction. Her next book addresses gaslighting women's physical symptoms as "all in their heads".
