Irene came to us at 44, a chef, yoga instructor, business owner, and completely overwhelmed.✔️ She moved her body constantly between the kitchen and yoga, she wasn’t sedentary and felt like she was eating healthyBut here’s what was really going on behind the scenes:❌ She couldn’t stop gaining weight❌ Her body felt soft, inflamed, and unfamiliar❌ Her IUD masked her cycle but the rage, hot flashes, and exhaustion were driving her mad!She told me:“I felt like I was outside of my own body. I couldn’t stop the anger. I was bleeding for months. I didn’t even know when I was cycling anymore. I just wanted my boys to still like me, and my husband to still want to be around me.”And the worst part? Every doctor told her she was “fine.” That there was “nothing we can do.”She saw a photo of herself and thought, “I can’t live like this anymore.”That’s when she found us.Here’s what we did using the RYM Method:1️⃣ We set calorie and macro targets tailored to her goals to make sure she was eating enough to fuel her body and support her hormones. We also added in pro-metabolic, nutrient-dense foods like bioavailable animal proteins, eggs, dairy, fruit, fresh juice, root veggies, saturated fats, liver, seafood, and salt2️⃣ We removed the guesswork and built a home training program tailored to her schedule as a busy mum and entrepreneur3️⃣ We focused on building muscle (not burning calories), with progressive overload, form checks, and training videos she could follow from home4️⃣ We helped her transition off the IUD and support her hormones naturally, no more bleeding for months, no more rage outbursts, no more hot flashesThe result?🔥 10% ⬇️ body fat🔥 7 lbs muscle gained🔥 Regular cycles (for the first time in years)🔥 No more rage, hot flashes, or “out-of-body” anxiety🔥 A stronger, more confident bodyAnd she did it all without cutting carbs, sugar, or dairy.This is what happens when you stop chasing quick fixes…And start working with your body especially in perimenopause.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.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.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

She was 49, freezing all the time, gaining weight, and feeling totally defeated.After trying everything from keto and veganism to hormone clinics and Weight Watchers Amanda was told her body was just getting older… and was prescribed thyroid meds and testosterone pellets.But nothing changed.She didn’t feel better. She didn’t lose weight.She just felt stuck.Then she found us through one of Dan Markham’s posts (@cowseatgrass) and a podcast I’d done.She followed the breadcrumbs and landed in our world.She was drawn to the strength training, the metabolic focus, and the no-BS approach to food.And she was ready for something real.Fast forward 9 months later… and here’s what’s happened 👇– She dropped 8.5% body fat– Gained visible muscle and definition– Went from 28% to 19.5% body fat– Came off thyroid medication completely– Eliminated dense, fibrotic breast tissue (no longer flagged as high risk)– Is training just 3x/week for 45 minutes– Eats more food than ever including sugar, salt, dairy, sourdough, and ice cream– Feels confident, energised, and STRONG at 50She didn’t do it with HIIT classes, restriction, or hormone patches.She did it by focusing on food quality, smart strength training, and learning to fuel her body instead of punishing it.And she’s not just leaner, she’s healthier.Her body works for her now.This episode will give you so much hope if you’ve been stuck in the cycle of dieting, low energy, and hormonal chaos.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.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.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

We’re back on the mic! 🎙️It’s been a minute since we dropped a podcast... and not because we were sipping cocktails on the beach in Thailand (I wish 🤪). We’ve been balls deep in finishing the last bit of development for our app (so stoked it's finished and it's fucking amazing we've been getting so much great feedback from clients as well as amazing results), supporting our 28 Day Challenge ladies, and coaching the hell out of our 1-on-1 and group clients. Because at the end of the day our clients always come first.But I finally dragged Craig into another episode (after about 5 false starts and several swears 😂) because this convo is just too important to put off any longer.If you're:→ Doing everything “right” and still not losing weight→ Seeing no change on the scale and ready to give up→ Thinking your metabolism is broken→ Confused about why your body won’t change or what the hell you should be doing to see results...You need to hear this episode.We dive into:✅ Why the scale is NOT the best measure of progress✅ How to tell if you're actually losing fat or gaining muscle✅ The mindset shift you NEED to make to stop sabotaging yourself✅ What data to track if you want sustainable results after 40✅ Why you're probably under-muscled (and what to do about it)This one’s real, raw, and filled with lightbulb moments 💡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.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.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

When Marcelle found us, she was 48 and stuck in a cycle of overtraining, under-eating, and constant pain.She’d cut carbs. Cut sugar. Lived on almond milk, broccoli, tuna, and green smoothies.Trained 6 days a week, often fasted.Barely slept. Binge ate on weekends.And was told by doctors to “just accept” her endometriosis and adenomyosis symptoms.💭 She was eating 1200 calories💭 Doing HIIT, boxing, and cardio💭 Running on caffeine and stress💭 Struggling with 3 hours of sleep a night💭 Living with chronic pain, bloating, reflux, migraines, and inflammationShe felt like she had no control over her body.She was told to cut dairy and meat. Put on the pill, Mirena, and hormonal implants.❌ Her digestion was wrecked❌ Her cycle was debilitating❌ Her brain fog made it hard to focus❌ She looked puffy, inflamed, and exhaustedShe was doing everything she was told to do.But none of it was helping.Until she found us.✅ We brought her calories up, she now eats 2100+ daily✅ We added back real food: dairy, fruit, sugar, meat, and root veg✅ We pulled her training back to 4 days + 1 Muay Thai✅ She learned how to fuel around training, build muscle, and reduce stress✅ She healed her digestion and started sleeping 8 hours again✅ And we helped her rewire her mindset—from restriction and punishment to nourishment and strengthNow?🔥 She’s lost 52cm and over 7% body fat🔥 Her period arrives with zero pain—for the first time in years🔥 Her energy, digestion, and sleep are completely transformed🔥 Her cravings and binge eating are gone🔥 Her confidence is back—and she’s building serious muscle in the gymThe best part?She still eats fudge every single day.She trains less.

Thinking about HRT?Before you jump on the hormone train, especially if you’re in your 40s or 50s, PLEASE listen to this episode first.I recorded this with Jay Feldman (@jfwellness), and it’s hands down one of the most important convos I’ve had around perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy.Here’s what we cover (that most doctors aren’t telling you):⚠️ Why it’s progesterone, not estrogen, that crashes first⚠️ How estrogen “works” by suppressing symptoms like cortisol but at a long-term cost⚠️ The real risks of taking estrogen-only or synthetic HRT⚠️ Why testosterone therapy can backfire by converting into more estrogen⚠️ How estrogen impacts your thyroid, metabolism, and fat loss⚠️ Why progesterone (used properly) can be game-changing — but only if your foundations are in placeAnd most importantly how you can support your body naturally before considering hormone therapy.If you’re under eating, under nourished, sleeping 5 hours a night, stressed, running yourself into the ground, chugging wine on the weekend… no amount of HRT is going to fix what’s actually going on.Start with nourishment. With light. With rest. With blood sugar balance. With building muscle and getting active. Work on the foundations first!Then and only then should you consider hormone therapy.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 @kittyblomfieldJay Feldman @jfwellnessAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
