fm coaching

In this recording of our monthly client coaching clinic, we tackle the most-asked questions from our fm community: why more core workouts won't flatten your stomach, why perimenopause belly fat is real but not the whole story, and why what you eat will always outwork how hard you train.

Practical, no-fluff, and grounded in what actually gets results. Facebook · Instagram

You will always have to get back on the horse. That part we need to make peace with. What's optional is how long you stay off it and your attitude.

In this episode, Marisa shares an honest look at the past 10 months, including a miscarriage, hormone chaos, weight gain, and a diet that looked nothing like what she teaches, and explains why none of that is what keeps women stuck.

She shares the three things that actually derail your comeback, and what you need to stop doing in order to achieve your health and fitness goas. Facebook · Instagram

When did a woman's body become her credibility?

Marisa gets honest about being judged on appearance in the health industry, her own imposter syndrome as a coach and business owner, and navigating body image through pregnancy and postpartum.

Sugar cravings aren't a willpower problem. They're a biology problem, and food manufacturers have spent years making sure you stay hooked.

In this coaching clinic, Marisa walks through the four-step protocol she uses with clients (and herself) to reset sugar cravings, retrain taste buds, and break the spike-crash-crave cycle without eliminating pleasure from your life entirely.

What's covered:

How refined sugar hijacks your dopamine pathways the same way addictive substances do, and why that means willpower will never be enough on its own.

The 100+ names sugar hides behind on packaging, and the products most women assume are healthy that are quietly keeping them stuck.

Why "sugar-free" can actually be worse for your gut than real sugar.

The four-step protocol: setting boundaries instead of restrictions, swapping rather than eliminating, retraining your taste buds gradually, and shifting your identity around food.

Why this matters beyond aesthetics, including the connection between sugar, cortisol, hormonal balance, and belly fat through every stage of life from postpartum to perimenopause.

This is not about cutting sugar out forever. It is about upgrading what pleasure means, so the thing you reach for at 9pm actually serves you.

Recipes mentioned in this episode are available on the FitMom app under the recipe tab.

This episode has no agenda.

Ash and Marisa get into the conversations most wellness brands won't touch, including drugs, plastic surgery, body image, and what it actually took to stop punishing themselves with food and exercise.

Honest, unfiltered, and probably the most real one yet. Facebook · Instagram
