Fitness Simplified With Kim Schlag

Registered Dietian & behavioral health expert Georgie Fear’s new book Give Yourself More is a science backed plan to lose weight while giving yourself more instead of the usual steaming pile of less, less, less: less carbs, less pleasure, less choices. We dive into key concepts of the book including overcoming emotional eating.

On today’s episode I’m joined by a new member of the big 5-0 club to chat about her struggles with weight loss. Is menopause stopping her? Is 50 a sentence to remain overweight? Let’s talk about it.

Fitness professional and author of the upcoming book Menopocalypse, Amanda Thebe, was in tip top shape when she fell ill with Covid in April. Twelve weeks later she has not full recovered. And she's not alone; there are burgeoning numbers of these long haulers, as they're dubbed, whose symptoms are long lasting. Listen in as Amanda shares her story.

Strength & nutrition coach Alessandra Cutnik (@alesssndracutnik) joins me & we talk about the common cry of women everywhere “how do I get my body back?!”

Sydney thought she wanted to chat about intermittent fasting. That’s not where we ended up. Maybe you’ll relate to her story.

I’m joined today by Tammi, a busy homeschooling mom from Australia. We work through what’s been keeping her from making progress in her fitness goals- including her on again off again motivation.

I tried a lot of diets back in the day. Weight Watchers wasn’t even close to the worst (I explain in detail which one was!) I like some things about WW, But I have 2 fundamental problems with Weight Watchers that cause me to not recommend it.

On this episode I’m joined by Kim, a lovely New Yorker on the cusp of turning the big 5-0. We sit down to figure out why she’s struggling to lose weight. Is it the carbs? Is it her age? Is she not eating clean enough? Kim has some pretty big lightbulb moments, including one about calories. Don’t donut calories inherently make you fat?!

Is muscle soreness a reliable way to gauge how effective your workouts are? What is? Should you train when you’re sore?

Sharon messaged me to ask about when and how to adjust calories & macros as one loses weight. We hopped on a call to hash that out and along the way Sharon shared her story of overcoming trauma and how fitness helps her manage PTSD and Anxiety.

Sarah Duff joins me to share powerful practical strategies to manage the 1000s of thoughts whizzing through your head each day so that you’re intentionally living instead of simply making decisions on autopilot. Sarah discusses: best mind management practices, what are touch points & how to use them, what’s the difference between journaling & writing in a diary? Here are the 3 cues she gives for managing uncertain times: 1. Today I can control... 2. Today I will be the woman who... 3. I am grateful for...

Worry can be crippling. Action is empowering. There’s a lot you can’t control right now, but when it comes to your weight (and specifically the habits that help you to maintain your weight) there’s so much in your control.

Weight loss is hard, no doubt about it. Equally as hard, if not harder is what comes next: weight maintenance. Yo-yoing back and forth between gaining weight and losing weight is a common pattern. In this episode my guest Fiona and I tackle the often unnavigated territory of weight maintenance.

My guest Daisy & I cover a lot of ground in this episode: how to get better at chin ups, how to lose weight and get stronger at the same time and all about diet breaks. How to know if you need one, options to structure the break, how long it should last and what to do after the break.

In this episode I walk you through a handful of strategies to get control of your time so that you can smash your fitness goals. I talk time audits, time hacks, my good/better/best method of choosing where to spend time & a strategy I’m calling The Oprah Test.

In this episode I coach a woman named Alia. You might relate to her situation: for 6 months she’s had a high degree of effort but has little to show for it in terms of results. What’s the missing link?
