She was doing everything right… and nothing was working.Emily was 43, active, and disciplined.She ran 20+ miles a week, did CrossFit 5–6 days, and tried everything from hormone doctors to restrictive diets…But after coming off the pill at 38, everything changed.Weight gain.A miscarriage.Bloating.Swelling.Confusion.She felt lost in her own body.And she said something I’ll never forget:“I just didn’t feel like myself anymore.”Emily had thyroid disease, went through cancer treatment in her 20s, and spent years trying to "fix" her body through restriction, cardio, and elimination diets. But it wasn’t until she found the pro-metabolic approach and joined our program that things finally started to shift.We didn’t jump straight into fat loss.Instead, she spent months focusing on restoring her metabolism, improving her thyroid health, getting her strength up, and eating enough to feel good again.We tracked her biofeedback, made tweaks to her food, and supported her with salt, carbs, and consistency.Once her body was in a better place…That’s when we went into a fat loss phase and the results came quickly.💥 She dropped 7 lbs and 7% body fat in just 6 weeks💥 Her confidence is back💥 Her clothes fit again💥 Her gym mates are noticing her muscle definition💥 She said, “I feel like myself again… and I’m finally warm!”Oh and she’s eating fruit, cheese, potatoes with butter and salt, and never feels deprived.🗣 “This was the easiest fat loss phase I’ve ever done.”If you’re stuck in the same cycle, her story will give you so much hope.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

Cardio-ing. Obsessing over the scale.And wondering why we still felt puffy, soft, and stuck.It wasn’t until we learned how to eat more, train with purpose, and recover properly that everything changed.In this episode, Ruby and I get real about:→ Why you’re stuck in the “Zone of Sh\*t”→ What recomposition actually takes→ Why lifting harder beats dieting harder→ How to train like a woman who wants real results→ And why tracking, lifting heavy, and eating more might be the exact shift you needWe don’t hold back in this one.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 @kittyblomfieldRuby Vella @transformxrubyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Kathleen came to us at 37 two kids, a hair salon, years of dieting under her belt… and absolutely exhausted.✔️ She’d done keto, paleo, calorie counting even tried being vegetarian (despite hating vegetables)✔️ She’d smashed herself with CrossFit and trail running✔️ She’d fractured her femur and was still trying to train in her basement gymBut she was stuck.❌ Her digestion was a mess constipated one day, diarrhoea the next❌ By bedtime, she looked 6 months pregnant from the bloat❌ Her cycle was unpredictable, her mood was all over the place, and her energy? Gone.She said:“I was putting in so much effort and getting nowhere. I just wanted to stop going in circles and feel good in my body again.”And then she found us.Not another diet.Not more cardio.A smarter system built around how a woman’s body actually works.Here’s what we did using the RYM Method:1️⃣ We personalised her calories and macros to make sure she was eating enough to fuel recovery, hormones, and strength and lose fat slowly2️⃣ We got her off the starve all day, binge at night rollercoaster and into a rhythm of regular meals with real, satisfying foods3️⃣ We taught her how to eat for energy and digestion bringing in foods like orange juice, dairy, fruit, root veggies, and salt (and yes, ice cream)4️⃣ We swapped her random workouts for structured strength training just 3 days a week, with exercises that actually build lean muscle5️⃣ And we reminded her: this isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency, self-compassion, and showing up even on the hard daysThe result?🔥 Lost 40lbs🔥 Regulated digestion (no more unpredictable bowels or painful bloating)🔥 Stable mood, steady energy, and a predictable cycle🔥 Confidence so strong she left an abusive marriage🔥 Got rid of her shitbag husband and she’s now dating a hot guy who lifts and can pick her up. Her words. 🤣Her kids have noticed it too.“You’re so much happier, Mum”That’s what happens when you stop starving your body and start fuelling it.This isn’t just weight loss.It’s taking your life back.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

What if your skin problems weren’t a skincare issue… but a metabolism issue?Most women are told the solution is more:💉 More actives🧪 More serums💊 More prescriptionsBut if your skin still looks tired, inflamed, or just “off”… deep down, you probably know: something’s not adding up.In our latest podcast, @thenutritioncoach and I share why we created the ProMetabolic Skin Rejuvenation Method and how it works.We believe truly radiant skin isn’t achieved with harsh actives, synthetic chemicals, prescription meds, or aggressive treatments. It’s the result of lowering internal stress, restoring energy, and nourishing the skin from within with real food, targeted nutrients, and skincare that supports your biology (not overrides it).For years, our clients asked:“What skincare do you recommend that’s PUFA-free and actually supports what I’m doing nutritionally?”And for years, our answer was: “None.”So… we made our own.This episode goes deep into:– Why we spent 3+ years formulating PUFA-free skincare that aligned with our nutrition philosophy– How collagen, liver, oysters & gelatin support the skin from the inside out– Why most products (even “natural” ones) can mess with your hormones– And how you can start using our ProMetabolic Skin Rejuvenation Method to glow from the inside out ✨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 @kittyblomfieldEmma Sgourakis @thenutritioncoachAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

She lost 81 lbs and dropped her body fat in HALF… but the real transformation? That was internal.When Annette first came across my content, she’d already tried it all, Whole30, keto, intermittent fasting. She was eating “healthy,” had a background in nutritional therapy, but was miserable in her body.Then came the Easter tree swing moment.She was with her nephew and couldn’t do something as simple as swinging from a rope without fear and a painful injury because her body didn’t feel strong enough.That was the turning point.She joined the program at 229 lbs. Today? She’s sitting at 148, her body fat dropped from 53% to 27%, and she just packed her own food to spend a week at a foster kids camp where she felt energised and in control.But here’s what really got me…She said the biggest shift wasn’t just her body it was learning to listen to it.To slow down.To process emotions instead of pushing them aside.To understand that weight stalls aren’t always physical sometimes it’s about what you’re not allowing yourself to feel.She used to be the girl who thought she’d never be consistent and look like this.Now she’s strong, empowered, sleeping well, symptom-free in her 40s, and lifting heavy AF in the gym.Oh and she went from a size 16 to a size 4.But what I love most?She’s living proof that it’s never too late to become the version of yourself you didn’t even know was possible.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
