A few weeks ago I had Mike Fave on the podcast. Mike is an independent researcher with a wealth of knowledge on diet and metabolic health. I first met him on a podcast with Danny Roddy and Jay Feldman and just thought he was a great guy 👏

In this podcast we dive deep into a topic that's often misunderstood: sugar, juice and fruit. Many women in our program come from restrictive dieting backgrounds, cutting out sugar completely, fearing it like it's the devil. They even equate a glass of orange juice to a can of soft drinks.

Mike helps us break down these misconceptions.

He shares his journey through various diets, from bodybuilding to keto, and how he now focuses on reading research directly. His experience as a nurse, especially during COVID, and his work in health consulting gives him a unique perspective.

We discuss how sugar, particularly fructose, has been unfairly demonised. Mike explains that sugar is a vital fuel source, and the real issue lies in what sugar is often packaged with in processed foods. We also touch on how many women develop a fear-based mentality around food, leading to unhealthy cycles of restriction and bingeing.

Mike provides practical advice for those transitioning from low-carb diets. He suggests slowly lowering fat intake while increasing carbs from whole food sources, like fruits and some starches, before introducing more rapidly digesting carbs like juice.

This episode is packed with insights on how to nourish your body properly, find food freedom, and enjoy delicious, balanced meals without fear. If you're ready to transform your relationship with food and embrace a healthier, happier lifestyle, this episode is for you.

Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.

#328 - From Exhausted & Stuck to Losing 20lbs, Strong & Thriving: How Carrie Transformed Her Body & Health with Carrie Beiler 39:21

منذ يومين39:21

39:21

Imagine being in your late 20s, exhausted, bloated, and constantly searching for the answer to your health struggles—only to be told that your body was shutting down. That was Carrie. At just 16 years old, she was diagnosed with PCOS, prediabetes, and severe digestive issues. Doctors warned her she might never have kids. She cycled through restrictive diets, supplements, and endless protocols—but nothing worked. She tried paleo, extreme blood sugar control, and supplement stacks that cost thousands of dollars, yet she still felt like crap. She was constantly bloated, exhausted, and battling sugar crashes so intense that even a sweet potato would wipe her out. Her breaking point? Postpartum. After years of trying everything, she was still stuck, overweight, and overwhelmed with three kids under five. That’s when she found our program—and everything changed. We focused on nourishing her body, supporting her metabolism and building muscle. ✅ We set her up with the right macros and calories—no more under-eating, no more extreme restrictions. ✅ She started strength training to build muscle. ✅ We optimised her nutrition with pro-metabolic foods—real food, no diet BS, no unnecessary supplements. ✅ We focused on managing stress and improving recovery so her body could actually burn fat and feel good. ✅ She had accountability and guidance every step of the way so she never had to second-guess what she was doing. The Results? ➡️ She lost 20lbs and completely changed her body composition with simple, sustainable strength training. ➡️ Her cycles went from 30-45 days (sometimes non-existent) to a regular 28-30 days with NO painful symptoms. ➡️ Her digestion healed—she went from taking 8 digestive enzymes per meal to ZERO. ➡️ Her energy skyrocketed—no more crashing, no more living off caffeine just to get through the day. ➡️ She feels STRONG, confident, and actually enjoys her body instead of battling it. For the first time in her life, she’s not stressing about food, weight, or whether she’s doing enough.

#325 - What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About Cancer, Hormones & Healing with Dr Leigh Erin Connealy 1:08:30

منذ 23 يومًا1:08:30

1:08:30

I’ve been trying to get Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy on the podcast since last year—and after moving countries twice (and totally butchering her name 🤣 as us Aussies do), we finally made it happen. It was worth the wait! Dr. Connealy is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to treating cancer, hormonal imbalances, and chronic illness with a root cause approach. She doesn’t just throw meds at symptoms—she looks at what’s actually driving disease and helps people heal from the inside out. This episode hit extra close to home for me because my sister recently went through breast cancer. And honestly, I wish more people had access to the kind of information Dr. Connealy shares, because it’s not just for people with cancer—it’s for everyone. 🔥 In this episode, we dive into: ✔️ How the way you’ve lived your life up until now affects your health ✔️ Why real food—organ meats, dairy, fruit, root vegetables—is one of the keys to healing and thriving ✔️ The biggest lies we’ve been told about birth control, HRT, and cancer treatment ✔️ Why we need to stop fearing the sun and start getting daily exposure ✔️ How modern living—EMFs, pollution, and toxic chemicals—are affecting our health and what we can do about it ✔️ The real reason so many women struggle in perimenopause and menopause It’s a wake-up call and an empowering message rolled into one. You are not broken. You don’t need a magic pill. But you do need to take radical responsibility for your health. This episode is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on the podcast—so go listen, share it with every woman you know, and let’s take our health back.

#324 - I've reached my goal weight but don't look toned: here's why with Craig McDonald 52:39

منذ 4 weeks52:39

52:39

You've Lost Weight… But Why Don’t You Look the Way You Want? 🤔 And now you’re stuck eating low calories just to maintain your new weight… So many women come to us frustrated. They've done the restrictive diet and they’ve hit their “goal weight,” but their body still doesn’t look the way they imagined and they have to eat a lot less to maintain this new body weight. Here’s why: losing weight and changing your body composition are NOT the same thing. If you want to look strong and toned (and be able to eat more food) — not just smaller — you need to focus on body recomposition (gaining muscle and losing body fat, not just weight loss). That’s exactly what we break down in our latest podcast episode. ✅ Why hitting a goal weight doesn’t guarantee the body you want ✅ How to figure out the right body fat percentage for YOUR ideal look ✅ Why building muscle should be a long-term goal (and how to do it) ✅ The power of tracking progress beyond just the scale ✅ What realistic muscle gain looks like for women over 40 ✅ Why having more muscle means you can eat more ✅ The health benefits of having more muscle as you age This episode is a must-listen if you’re stuck in the cycle of dieting but not seeing the body transformation you want.

#323 - Low tox living and kids gut health with Kelly Carpenter 36:47

منذ 5 weeks36:47

36:47

A little while ago, Kelly (@TheDetoxedLife) joined our program and her results have been incredible. 🙌 She’s down 10 lbs, building strength every week, and loving how she’s balancing muscle-building and macros while managing life with two kids. When I saw Kelly’s profile, I knew I had to get her on the podcast as we have many women in our program who have kids with gut health issues and she’s a nutritionist specialising in kids' gut health. Kelly’s journey started with her own struggles—IBS, endometriosis, infertility, and toxic dieting. After discovering pro-metabolic eating, she healed her gut and found balance. Her son, Arlen, was her inspiration to help kids heal. At just 7, he struggled with stomach aches, low weight, and leaky gut. Through targeted testing and protocols, Kelly helped him heal completely. He’s now thriving—no more stomach issues or picky eating! She also talked about how toxins in everyday products (fake tans, perfumes, and beauty creams) contribute to hormone disruption, cycle issues, and even infertility. This is one reason @thenutritioncoach and I created @saturee_official_ skincare. It's free from PUFA's and toxic ingredients. Kelly’s journey reminds us that it’s not about perfection—it’s about starting where you’re at, building habits step by step, and showing up consistently. Whether it’s training three days a week, dialling in your nutrition, or finding time for self-care, progress happens when you commit. If you’re a mom struggling with your own health or looking for solutions for your kids, Kelly’s story is a must-hear.

#322 - How to use carbs to lose weight & improve your metabolism with Craig McDonald 36:26

منذ 6 weeks36:26

36:26

This week I sat down with Craig to talk about carbs and sugar—the real deal behind your energy, mood, and results. For years, I was stuck in the "anti-carb" "anti-sugar" mindset. I cut out sugar, avoided fruit, and thought I was doing everything right... except for the weekend binges on Ben & Jerry's and corn chips. 🤣 Sound familiar? The problem wasn’t carbs—it was the restrictive cycle I was trapped in. In this week's podcast, we dive deep into how carbohydrates are actually your body's preferred energy source. We unpack why cutting them isn’t the answer when it comes to sustainable weight loss, how they can support your metabolism, and why they’re essential for building muscle and achieving a strong, toned body. Plus, we share the key to eating carbs while reaching your goals—and yes, it involves eating the foods you love without guilt.

We also chat about our shared love for carbs, potatoes, and ice cream 🍦 and why ditching food guilt can lead to freedom and balance. Plus, Vahdaneh shares her tips on listening to your intuition and finding what works *for you* without getting lost in the noise of social media or diet trends.

#320 - Get Clear on Your Goals: How Phases and Progression Transform Your Body and Health with Craig McDonald 57:23

منذ 8 weeks57:23

57:23

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 Craig and I just dropped our first podcast of 2025, and it’s packed with reflections, laughs, and actionable insights to kickstart your year. 2024 was a rollercoaster for us— we moved country twice 🤣, big business changes, personal challenges, and even adopting two adorable rescue dogs in Thailand Suri and Mali - I just love them so much already🐾. Through it all, one thing became clear: growth comes from embracing the process, even when it’s tough. In this episode, we dive into: ✨ The different phases of body transformation—fat loss, body recomposition, and muscle building—and why understanding which phase is right for you is key to success. ✨ Why body recomposition (gaining muscle while losing fat) is ideal for most women starting out. ✨ The benefits of focusing on muscle building and improving your metabolism, especially if you’ve been chronically dieting or have hit a plateau. ✨ Why setting clear, realistic body composition goals is a game-changer. ✨ How strength training and proper nutrition can completely transform your physique (and your mindset!). ✨ Practical advice for embracing consistent, imperfect action to create lasting results. Not sure which phase you should be focusing on? We break it all down, so you can confidently map out your goals and understand how to get there step by step.

You *can* rebuild your metabolism, transform your body, and get stronger at any age. ✨ When Sue joined our program, she had a simple goal: To feel better in her body and regain her health. 🎯 Sue is a 62-year-old mom of three, living with Hashimoto's and navigating the challenges of an underactive thyroid. She’d tried everything—fasting, restrictive diets, even intense calorie deficits—but nothing worked long-term. What set her apart? Her determination. Sue didn’t just think about change—she invested in herself and took ACTION. 👉 She tracked her food and fuelled her body with real, nutrient-dense pro-metabolic food - no cutting carbs or sugar. 👉 She learned how to lift weights, dialled in her execution and got strong. She maintained her lifts while in the deficit. 👉 She stayed consistent with her training and nutrition, even when life got busy. The results? 💃 18kg down and 14% body fat lost. 💃 Feeling stronger, energised, and healthier than ever. 💃 Gaining confidence and the ability to tackle everyday life with ease.

On the latest episode I sat down with my dear friend and co-founder of Saturee, Emma Sgourakis (aka The Nutrition Coach), to discuss our game-changing Bioenergetic Methylene Blue Serum. This incredible serum is packed with powerhouse ingredients like methylene blue, vitamin C, and niacinamide, and it's been years in the making. We shared the behind-the-scenes journey of creating this serum—from convincing formulators to take a chance on methylene blue to ensuring every single ingredient is of the highest quality. It hasn’t been easy (at all), but seeing the results makes every challenge worth it. ✨ So, what makes this serum so amazing? - It’s *anti-aging* magic: reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and even age spots. - Improves skin elasticity, tone, and hydration. - Protects against environmental stress and inflammation. - Even works wonders on older skin, reversing visible signs of aging. We’re thrilled about the feedback from our trial users—reduced eye bags, plumper, more hydrated skin, and vibrant complexions in just 30 days! One of the testers, Donna, said: "Thank you for making me feel beautiful again.* If you’re tired of wasting money on products with bold claims but no results, this serum is a must-try.

#317 - The truth about Dairy with Matthew Evans 45:36

منذ 11 weeks45:36

45:36

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!

#316 - Losing 17% Body Fat and Transforming Her Health: Deb’s Inspiring Journey at 54 16:53

منذ 12 weeks16:53

16:53

🌟 "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 life What 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.

I sat down with Dr. Jerilynn Prior, a leading endocrinologist with over 45 years of experience in women’s reproductive health, to bust the myths and reveal the truth about hormone balance during perimenopause. Dr. Prior shares groundbreaking insights into why high estrogen—not low—is often the culprit behind so many frustrating symptoms. We also dive deep into the life-changing benefits of natural bioidentical progesterone and why it’s often the missing piece for so many women. 🌸 🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why mainstream medicine often misdiagnoses perimenopause symptoms. ✅ How progesterone can alleviate night sweats, improve sleep, and reduce stress. ✅ Why lifestyle changes like eating enough, balancing blood sugar, and lowering stress are critical for hormone health. This is an episode every woman over 40 needs to hear! 🧠💡 RESOURCES + LINKS Rebuild Your Metabolism Method: 28 Day Challenge Learn more about our Winatlife Coaching options Saturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.

Ready to change your body composition and get stronger? In our latest podcast episode, Craig and I dive deep into the power of strength training and why it’s the ultimate game-changer for women looking to transform their bodies in their 40s and 50s. We talked about why lifting heavy (remember heavy is relative to the individual) and focusing on good technique are key to seeing real results – and it’s not about being "genetically gifted." It’s about showing up, pushing your limits, and consistently progressing. 💥 Listen in to learn why you can reach those strength goals you thought were impossible and how it can change not just how you look but how you feel.

#313 - How to unfuck your relationship and life with Max Trombly and Greta Zukoff 1:33:03

منذ 16 weeks1:33:03

1:33:03

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.

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.

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.

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.

#307 - From Restriction to Freedom: Mel’s Journey to Food Freedom, Strength, and Confidence 21:13

منذ 22 weeks21:13

21:13

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!

#303 - The journey to losing 30kgs and optimal health with Nicole Liddell 23:07

منذ 26 weeks23:07

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.
