Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

Three of our NuStrength Aussie coaches. One unfiltered conversation. Zero holding back.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, @ash.healthcoach, @nyssa_bovenkamp and @natashabwellness break down what it actually takes to transform your body after 40, the stuff most coaches won't tell you.
We're talking: 
→ Why your metabolism is more underactive than you think 
→ The difference between weight loss and fat loss (and why it matters) 
→ Why every woman needs more muscle, no exceptions 
→ What to do with cardio (hint: less is usually more) 
→ Why stress is affecting your progress
→ The mum guilt, the excuses, and the mindset shift that changes everything
Between us, we've coached over 20,000 women. This is what we've learned.
Part 2 drops next week and goes deep on hormones and HRT.

Bethany was a nurse doing a PhD, competing in triathlons every fortnight, surviving on 4–6 antihistamines a day, and terrified to eat a sweet potato.
She thought she was doing everything right.
She wasn't. And honestly? It's not her fault. No one teaches women this stuff.
Bethany is 36, lives on an acreage in Australia, and has been in our programme for just over 13 months. 
In this episode she shares EVERYTHING and I mean everything.
Here's what her life looked like before: 
👉Three episodes of anaphylaxis in a single week at age 30
👉Eliminated nuts, eggs, dairy, gluten, soy basically anything she could think of 
👉Low-carb dieting + excessive exercise (triathlon racing every fortnight — insane)
👉Weighing herself daily and letting a 0.2kg increase wreck her entire mood
👉Deep, genuine fear of food even normal things like sweet potato 
👉4–6 antihistamines every single day just to avoid a reaction
And here's where she is now:
✅ZERO antihistamines for the last 3 months
✅Eating 2,000+ calories a day with 260g of carbs
✅Deadlifting 115kg for 7 reps (double her body weight, she started at 60kg 👀)
✅Going for 120kg by end of the month
✅Reintroduced foods she hadn't eaten in over 5 years including dairy ice cream
✅No fear of food. No spiralling over the scales. No more self-destruction disguised as discipline.
✅And the mindset shifts? Just as powerful as the physical ones.
She talked about how she learned that weight is just data, not a verdict on who she is. How she went from bottling up that brutal inner critic to actually saying it out loud and working through it. How she cut her work hours back (something she never would have had the confidence to do before). And how last week for the first time in as long as she can remember she had a full week of just... peace.
If you've been grinding yourself into the ground thinking MORE is the answer, this episode is for you.

The sun has been demonised for decades. Slip, slop, slap. Cover up. Wear SPF. Avoid UV at all costs.
And yet… skin cancers are still rising. People who've never been in the sun are getting them on the bottoms of their feet, on their backs, in places that see zero sunlight. 
My own family who've avoided the sun their whole lives have all had skin cancers removed. My brother, who never got sun, had stage four sarcoma. And when we got him eating properly, supplementing, changing his lifestyle and yes, getting daily sunlight his body responded brilliantly to chemo. His oncologist said he'd never seen anything like it.
So what's actually going on?
I brought Zaid Dahhaj onto the podcast this week to take a deep dive. He is a circadian biology educator to talk more about the sun.
We get into:
— Why melanin is NOT a sign of skin damage (and why calling it that has some seriously problematic roots) 
— The real reason people are developing cancer in sun-deprived areas of their body
— What your morning light actually does to your hormones, neurotransmitters, and anti-cancer defences 
— Why SPF is blocking the ONE wavelength your body uses to make vitamin D3 
— How to sunbathe progressively without burning (think: progressive overload, but for your skin) 
— What to do at night to maximise repair and melatonin production 
— Whether vitamin D supplements are actually cutting it
— And what to do if you live in the UK, Ireland, or anywhere you're not getting much sun
This is one of those episodes that makes you want to go outside immediately after listening.

She joined our team as a coach. But first? She had a tumour removed. Lost circulation in her arm. Was diagnosed with autoimmune disease. Bled through her period so badly she thought something was seriously wrong. And spent years being dismissed.
Meet Natasha NuStrength's newest coach, nutritionist, and the woman who has genuinely been through it. 🙌
In this episode we cover:
Why she weighed 55kg at 5'9" for most of her adult life
The thyroid issue nobody caught for years
How she gained 15kg going pro-metabolic… and what she'd do differently now
Why "healing pounds" are NOT a requirement (and how she coaches women away from this)
The HRT conversation women need to hear: why adding oestrogen alone can make things WORSE
Why progesterone is the missing piece for perimenopause symptoms
What happened when she started working with Coach Ash: 17cm in 10 weeks and the strongest she's ever been
Why coaches absolutely need coaches
Natasha's story is proof that the body wants to heal it just needs the right support, the right fuel, and someone to actually call you on your BS. 😂
If you've been battling thyroid issues, hormonal chaos, or just feel like your body's working against you, this one is for you.

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 exist
This one is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Good.
