How to Lose Fat Without Wrecking Your Hormones - Absolutely Podcast Episode 86
https://info.prpseathletics.com/application-mm-coachabbie If you feel like you have to choose between losing fat and keeping your hormones healthy… this episode is going to change the way you approach everything. Because the truth is—most fat loss plans for women are working against their body. Undereating. Overtraining. Skipping meals. Starting over every Monday. And then wondering why nothing is sticking. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what a hormone-friendly fat loss routine actually looks like—the exact structure I’d follow if I was starting over and wanted to lose fat without wrecking my metabolism, energy, or hormones. We’re getting into: How to structure your meals to support blood sugar and fat loss Why protein is non-negotiable (and how much you actually need) The biggest mistakes women make with workouts and cardio How stress, sleep, and the “weekender mentality” are secretly holding you back The role of supplements (and what’s actually worth it) This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things consistently. If you’re tired of starting over and want a routine that actually works with your body instead of against it, this episode is for you.

Your "Healthy Habits’" Are Keeping You Stuck - Absolutely Podcast Episode 85
https://info.prpseathletics.com/application-mm-coachabbie If you feel like you’re doing everything right—eating clean, working out, staying consistent—but your body still isn’t changing… this episode is going to hit. Because here’s the truth: some of your “healthy habits” might actually be the exact thing keeping you stuck. In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common habits women think are helping their fat loss—but are actually slowing their progress, messing with their metabolism, and keeping them in the cycle of starting over. We’re talking about under-eating, skipping meals, relying on workouts, and the “I’m good during the week” mindset that’s quietly sabotaging your results. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, stuck, or like your body just isn’t responding the way it should—this episode will connect the dots and show you what to actually do instead.

How I Prepped My Body to Come Off Birth Control - Absolutely Podcast Episode 84
Coaching Application: https://info.prpseathletics.com/application-mm-coachabbie If you’ve ever thought about coming off birth control but felt low-key terrified of what might happen to your body… this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: coming off the pill isn’t just about stopping it and hoping everything regulates overnight. Your body has been relying on external hormones, and when you remove that, there’s an adjustment period that most women are completely unprepared for. In this episode, I’m walking you through my personal experience coming off birth control—what I did to prep my body beforehand, what actually made a difference, and what I would 100% do differently if I could go back. We’re talking about the real, unfiltered side of it: how to support your hormones before you come off why gut health and liver support matter more than you think the role of blood sugar regulation in hormone balance what to expect in those first few months post birth control and how to avoid the common mistakes that leave women feeling frustrated, inflamed, and out of control in their own body If you’re tired of guessing, Googling, or feeling like your body is working against you… this episode will help you understand what’s actually going on and how to support your body through it the right way.

Gut Healing 101: The Kill Phase - Absolutely Podcast Episode 80
If you’ve ever heard someone talk about the “kill phase” of a gut healing protocol and thought… what does that actually mean? — this episode is for you. Today I’m answering your questions about the kill phase, the stage of a gut protocol where harmful bacteria are targeted using antimicrobials as the body works to restore balance in the gut. This is the part of gut healing that people often have the most questions about because symptoms can sometimes feel confusing. Some people notice fatigue, digestion changes, or brain fog and wonder if it’s normal or if something is going wrong. In this episode we’re covering: • What the kill phase actually is • Why some people temporarily feel worse before they feel better • Whether symptoms like fatigue, constipation, or brain fog are common • How long the kill phase usually lasts • When symptoms are normal vs. when they should be addressed • How to support your body during this stage of gut healing I’m also sharing some of my personal experience going through a kill protocol, what surprised me the most, and what helped me manage the process. If you’ve ever been curious about gut healing protocols, H. pylori, SIBO, or antimicrobial phases, this episode will help you better understand what’s happening inside the body during this stage. https://info.prpseathletics.com/application-mm-coachabbie

What Tracking My Food for Years Taught Me - Absolutely Podcast Episode 79
https://info.prpseathletics.com/application-mm-coachabbie Tracking your food is one of the most talked about and misunderstood tools in the nutrition world. Some people think it’s obsessive, while others swear it’s the key to fat loss success. After years of tracking my own food (and coaching hundreds of women through the process), I’ve learned that tracking isn’t about perfection--it’s about awareness. In this episode, I’m sharing what tracking my food for years actually taught me and why it can be such a powerful tool when used the right way. We’ll talk about: • why most people underestimate how much they’re eating • the surprising role protein plays in body composition • how weekends can quietly erase progress • what tracking teaches you about portion sizes • why tracking should be a temporary tool, not a lifelong requirement If you’ve ever wondered whether tracking your food is worth it, this episode will give you a much clearer perspective.

Why the Scale Is Lying to You - Absolutely Podcast Episode 72
If you’ve started “doing everything right” this January—working out more, eating better, staying consistent—but the scale hasn’t moved (or has gone up), this episode is for you. The scale doesn’t measure fat loss. It measures total body weight—and in the first few weeks of a new routine, that number is often misleading. Water retention, inflammation, stress, glycogen, and digestion can all mask real progress and cause people to quit far too early. In this episode, we break down: Why the scale is especially unreliable in January What’s actually happening in your body during early fat loss The most common scale mistakes that derail motivation What to track instead for real, meaningful progress How to use the scale correctly without sabotaging yourself If the scale has been messing with your head, this episode could literally save your progress.
