#386 - The Hormone Therapy Lie They Don't Want You to Know with Ann-Marie McQueen

The hormone therapy conversation is getting LOUDER, but is it getting more honest? 🤔I sat down with my brilliant friend Anne Marie McQueen, founder of Hot Flash Inc and we went there. Like, really went there.We talked about: → The estrogen narrative that's being pushed (and who's profiting from it) → Why hot flashes might not be a hormone problem at all → The foods that were wrecking her body disguised as "healthy" → Why menopause is actually an AWAKENING, not a disease → The fake study that doctors are STILL citing... even after the author said it doesn't existThis one is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable.

A few weeks ago I sat down with Kathleen Stewart and we talked for 3 hours straight. It was so good I split it into three separate 60 minute episodes. This is Part 3 the final one and honestly it might be my favourite.In Part 1 we went deep on Ben's cancer recovery and the full holistic protocol. In Part 2 Kathleen and I got into tracking, training, Ozempic and why most women aren't getting results. If you missed either of those I highly recommend listening to them first.Part 3 is where we go deeper than the food and the training.Because here's the thing. You can get the body. Check every box. Hit every target. And still not feel at peace. I know because I did exactly that. I got the physique and there was still something underneath that hadn't been dealt with. It took me 10 years and a lot of painful emotional work with my coach Greta to finally get there.We talk about the Goldilocks spot, where is the body fat level and lifestyle that actually fits YOUR life, not someone else's. We talk about grief as a tool and why every big life change, even a happy one, deserves to be felt and processed. We talk about the identity patterns we carry from childhood and what it actually looks like to re-parent yourself as an adult.And we share real client results that show what happens when you stop trying to shrink yourself and start building yourself instead. One woman came in with an eating disorder, hadn't trained in years, started at 1800 calories and nine months later was deadlifting 110kg, had lost 19kg of fat and gained 5kg of muscle, and is now eating 2200 calories a day. That's what getting strong actually does.The testimonials that mean the most to me are never just about body fat. They're the ones that say I'm connecting with my husband again. I have more patience with my kids. I feel capable for the first time in years. I'm winning at life.That's the rising tide. And that's what this episode is about.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 @kittyblomfieldKathleen Stewart @reconAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

A few weeks ago I sat down with Kathleen Stewart and we talked for 3 hours straight. It was so good I split it into three separate 60 minute episodes. This is Part 2.In Part 1 we went deep on my brother Ben's cancer recovery, the full holistic protocol, why eating enough was non-negotiable, and the emotional root cause that drove every bad habit. If you missed it, I would highly recommend listening to it first.In Part 2 Kathleen and I get into the stuff that I know so many of you are frustrated about.Why are you doing everything right and still not getting results?We talk about why cardio isn't the answer most women think it is. Why Ozempic isn't a long term solution and what actually happens to your body when you stop. Why tracking your food isn't obsessive, it's actually the thing that eventually sets you completely free. And why the number on the scale probably needs to be higher than you think it does if you actually want the body composition you're chasing.We also get into training properly. Why most women aren't pushing anywhere near hard enough, why lighter weights and more reps isn't the answer, and what progressive overload actually looks like in practice. I share some real client results that show exactly what happens when you stop focusing cardio to lose weight and start getting strong instead.This one is packed.

A few weeks ago I sat down with Kathleen Stewart and we talked for 3 hours straight. I loved it so much I couldn't bring myself to cut it down so I've split it into three separate 60 minute episodes instead.In Part 1 we dive deep into something really personal to me.My brother was told he had 14 months to live. That only 15% of people with this type of cancer survive beyond 5 years.Stage 4 sarcoma. A muscle cancer. Lumps appearing all over his body. The oncologist said that this type of cancer doesn’t respond well to chemo but they'd try.He was already undereating, drinking, on antidepressants, and living in fear. Genuinely terrified of dying.And then at 7 months, his doctor looked at his scans: "I can't see any cancer in your body, we’ve never seen this before."Here's what I want you to understand: it wasn't one thing. It was a system. Food first. Enough of it. Liver, oysters, eggs, dairy. Never hungry. Supplements. Sunlight. Movement. Getting off the antidepressants. And the piece most people skip completely, the emotional work. Because every single habit and behaviour traced back to one root cause. A deep, unaddressed fear of dying.I'm sitting down with the brilliant Kathleen Stewart: two master's degrees in physics and chemical engineering, mum of two, and one of the most switched on people I know in the bioenergetic space….and we do not hold back.We cover Ben's full protocol, why many cancer patients don’t just struggle with the tumor itself. One of the biggest drivers of decline is rapid muscle loss, which affects everything from immunity to recovery. The role of progesterone, aspirin and B vitamins, and why no single supplement will ever be the answer on its own.This one is personal. And I think it'll change how you think about health.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 @kittyblomfieldKathleen Stewart @reconAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Meet Leanne. 48 years old, working full time, living in the NT and quietly transforming her health in a way that left her doctor shaking her head.She’s now ✅ Lost 16.3kg  ✅ Gained muscle✅ Lost 69cm off her body ✅ Reduced body fat by 11.2% ✅ Got her blood sugar, cholesterol, liver AND vitamin D all back in normal rangeAnd she did it eating 2,000 calories a day. Including pasta. Risotto. Home made Cherry ripe slice. Every. Single. Day.When her doctor asked what she was doing, she said "I'm eating real food”.Her doctor's response? "You've clearly rebooted your metabolism."This is what eating metabolically does. It's not about starving yourself, cutting carbs or surviving on 1,200 calories. It's about nourishing your body so it actually works FOR you.Leanne is still on her journey and she's already changed her future. 🧡I sat down with her on the podcast and she held nothing back: the doctor's visit, the food she eats, the mindset shifts, the training, all of it.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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

18 months from now you could be the woman who meal preps without thinking, eats delicious carbs and more food without guilt, feels good in her body, loves her training and how strong she is, and never dreads Monday morning again. OR you could still be starting over every week. 😅The difference? This conversation.Aram and I went full no-BS on what actually creates a lasting transformation and it's probably not what you think.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 @kittyblomfieldAram Gregorian @4weekstothebeachAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I’m honestly so excited about this episode 🥹We’ve known Kate Deering since we opened the gym back in 2015, and she’s had such a huge influence on the way we think about metabolism, hormones, and women’s health.We’ve worked with her on and off over the years, learned so much from her, and she’s just one of those people who really understands how the body works.So this conversation felt really special.Her new book Better Energy is incredible. Craig actually wrote the foreword, and I got to write a piece for the back, which felt very cool (and a bit surreal tbh).But more than that, it’s a resource I genuinely think every woman should have.Because what we talk about in this episode is the missing piece for so many women:👉 energyNot just “feeling tired”… but how well your body actually produces energy at a cellular level, and how that impacts your metabolism, your hormones, your sleep, your weight, and how you feel day to day.So many women are doing everything “right”… eating well, training hard, trying to be disciplined… and still feel stuck.This is why.If you want to actually understand what’s going on in your body (and stop guessing), this episode will make so much click for you.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 @kittyblomfieldKate Deering @katedeeringfitnessAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

For 12 years Rochelle slowly gained weight and felt completely stuck. She knew she wasn’t feeling her best, but there was a deeper problem beneath the surface.In her twenties she had struggled with anorexia and bulimia. So every time she thought about losing weight, it brought up the fear of going back to that place again.She didn’t want to punish her body. She didn’t want to obsess over food. And she definitely didn’t want to pass that relationship with food onto her daughter.So for years she stayed in this frustrating middle ground. Not dieting, but not feeling strong or healthy either.When Rochelle joined the program she was terrified of even stepping on the scales.Fast forward 10 months.She has lost 14 kilos. She has gained over 5 kilos of muscle. She has lost roughly 19 kilos of body fat. And she now deadlifts 110 kilos.But the most powerful transformation was not just physical.She rebuilt her relationship with food. She stopped fearing carbs. She stopped fearing the scale. And she is now modelling something completely different for her daughter.Strength. Fueling her body. Confidence.This episode is one of the most powerful client stories we have shared on the podcast.If you have ever felt stuck or scared to start again, you will get a lot out of Rochelle’s story.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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

So many women come to me saying:“My libido is gone.”“I’m just tired all the time.”“Maybe it’s just my age.”And yes… hormones matter. Stress matters. Under-eating matters. This is what I help women optimise and improve in my program.But after working with thousands of women, I can tell you this:It’s not low estrogen. Desire doesn’t disappear overnight.It slowly shuts down when a woman feels:Unseen.Unheard.Over responsible.Resentful.Disconnected from herself.You can eat more.Lift weights.Improve your metabolism.Sleep better.And you absolutely should.But if there are unspoken conversations…If you’re constantly in survival mode…If intimacy has become a “tick the box” task…Your body will respond accordingly.This episode is not about blaming women. And it’s not about ignoring physiology.It’s about zooming out and looking at the full picture.Because real nourishment isn’t just food.It’s safety.Truth.Connection.In this week’s episode I caught up with Kim Anami and we had a raw conversation about intimacy, emotional surrender, menopause, and the deeper reasons so many women feel disconnected in their relationships after 40.If you’re ready to think deeper about intimacy, your relationship, stress, hormones and what might actually be underneath it all…RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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 @kittyblomfieldKim Anami @kimanamiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

You’re not angry. You’re afraid.Afraid you’re not enough. Afraid you’ll lose everything.Afraid you can’t trust him. Afraid you can’t trust yourself.And so you control.You push.You overwork.You overthink.You “fix.”I did it in my marriage.I did it in my business.I even did it with my body.What I didn’t realise was this:My fear was louder than my love.In this episode with Greta we talk about:• The real root of resentment• Why expectations create suffering• How women unknowingly sabotage connection• The shift from control to peace• And how to become the woman who actually experiences the relationship and life she desiresThis is not about blaming men.It’s about emotional sovereignty.It’s about leading from the heart instead of survival.And it changed everything for me.If you’re tired of arm wrestling life…If you’re exhausted from trying to control everything…If you want peace now, not “when everything is perfect”…RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset 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
