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

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!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 @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

🌟 "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 lifeWhat 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.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 @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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.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 @kittyblomfieldMax Trombly @maxtromblyGreta Zukoff @gretazukoffAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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. Trust me, you’ll walk away with some real insights on how to stop self-sabotaging and start making progress toward your goals.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 SpotifySave 33% on your first month with this link: https://community.thewholepersonproject.com/invitation?code=2EC3FJFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldMichael Rizk @thewholepersonprojectAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
