In today's episode, I'm kicking things off with an exciting announcement! Enrollment is now open for my 90 Day Rapid Fat Loss Challenge, (sign up HERE)

Starting September 1st- If you've been feeling stuck, lacking accountability, or just need a serious reset, this challenge is designed to light a fire under you. We'll have weekly live coaching calls, daily accountability, structured training and nutrition plans, meal plans with grocery lists, and I'll even teach you how to transition out of fat loss so your results actually last.
Then we dive into several topics that I think every fitness enthusiast needs to hear.
We talk about why self reporting calories is far less accurate than most people think, and how research shows we can underestimate our intake by anywhere from 25 to 50%. More importantly, we discuss practical ways to become more accurate without becoming obsessive.
We also have an honest conversation about social media. How do you stop comparing yourself to someone else's highlight reel? How do you stay focused on your own progress when everyone online seems to be leaner, stronger, or further ahead? I'll share a few mindset shifts that can make a huge difference.
Finally, we tackle one of the most common struggles I hear from clients: what happens when your spouse isn't interested in fitness? We discuss the challenges of having different priorities, the pros and cons of having a partner who's just as invested in health as you are, and how to navigate your own goals without letting someone else's choices derail your progress.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

Lindsay explains why someone can be “too lean” to effectively build muscle even if they’re eating at maintenance and maintaining body weight. She argues maintenance calories don’t automatically mean an optimal physiological environment for growth because the body also evaluates energy reserves (body fat), recovery, training stress, sleep, and hormone signals like leptin, plus changes in estrogen and thyroid hormones that affect performance and recovery.
