More training isn't always better. But not training enough means you're leaving results on the table. So how do you actually know how many days you should be training — and what should those days look like?

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to structure your training week so you're hitting each muscle group enough to grow, recovering enough to actually adapt, and building a schedule that fits your real life.

You'll learn:

• Why hitting each muscle group twice a week is the sweet spot for most women
• How to structure a 3, 4 or 5 day training week — and which one is right for you
• Why more sessions doesn't automatically mean more results
• The signs you're not recovering enough — and what to do about it
• Why if you're not progressing, you're not growing — and how to fix it

You'll finish this episode with a clear plan for your training week — no more guessing, no more random sessions. Just a structure that works. 💚

Should you eat before training? What about after? Do you need a protein shake the second you finish your session? If you've ever stood in the gym car park wondering if you've already missed your "anabolic window" — this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm cutting through the noise around pre and post workout nutrition and giving you what actually matters — without the gym bro mythology.

You'll learn:

• What the research actually says about nutrient timing (and what it doesn't say)
• Why the "anabolic window" is way more flexible than you've been told
• What to eat before training — and how to adjust for different training times
• What to prioritise after your session for recovery and muscle retention
• Why total daily protein and calories matter far more than timing

You'll walk away knowing exactly how to fuel your training — without obsessing over the clock. 💚

You're eating well all week, training hard, staying consistent — and then the weekend hits. Sound familiar? If you've ever wondered whether your social life is the reason your progress has stalled, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what alcohol does to your fat loss — not to scare you, but to give you the full picture so you can make informed choices.

You'll learn:

• Why alcohol doesn't just affect you through calories alone
• How weekend drinking can undo a week of solid effort (and how much it actually takes)
• Why your body treats alcohol as a priority fuel — and what that means for fat burning
• The hidden ways alcohol impacts your hunger, sleep, and training
• How to actually enjoy a social life without wrecking your progress

You'll finish this episode knowing exactly what's going on — and what to do about it. No guilt. No "just stop drinking." Just the truth. 💚
