In this episode of Reality Check, Jess & Jill are back with Part 4 of 'Ask Us Anything' to answer the top questions we have gotten from clients and in the DMs! This is for the women ready to rethink everything they’ve been told about hormones, fat loss, gut health, and what it actually takes to feel better in their body.

We cover:

• The non-negotiable daily habits we actually stick to
• What 2am wake-ups signal (and how to correct them)
• High vs low estrogen symptoms + what to eat to support balance
• At-home training options that actually move the needle
• Our go-to snacks for full schedules and zero prep
• How long to stay in a deficit before shifting to maintenance
• Why your gut still feels inflamed and what to do about it
• How to include running without wrecking your hormones
• What to do if your doctor dismisses HRT or deeper testing
• The labs that give you real insight into hormone health
• How and when to adjust macros after fat loss
• Whether macro tracking is necessary or just another tool
• Where to start if your hormones feel off and you’re overwhelmed

For the woman who wants real clarity and a strategy that matches the standards she holds everywhere else in her life. Tune in.

Toned isn’t a look or "high volume, low weight"... it’s the result of strategic programming, progressive overload, and knowing exactly what to train (and why).

If your current workouts are a mashup of influencer circuits, endless supersets, and random drop sets, you’re not building... you're just burning calories and you'll never looked "fit".

In this episode, we share the 10 exercises we return to over and over with clients who want visible definition, strong curves, and a physique that holds up in real life. You might listen and be like... "that's it?!" but when programmed with intention, they shape the kind of body that speaks for itself.

If you're ready to train with purpose and stop wasting time in the gym never seeing results, this one's for you!

GLP1s are everywhere, but no one’s really talking about what happens when you actually try it with the right support… and use it responsibly.

In this episode, Jess shares her PERSONAL (and very intentional) experiment with tirzepatide: the dosing, the unexpected symptoms, the benefits no one’s talking about, and the HOW and WHY behind coming off while still maintaining her results.

We’re not here to glamorize or demonize in either direction because it is always YOUR choice what you do, but we’re here to tell the truth from the lens of data, context, and Jess's lived experience. From real-time blood sugar tracking to conversations with prescribing NPs, this episode pulls back the curtain on what the weight loss conversation is missing and why “results” don’t always mean progress.

This one’s short, spicy, and straight from the inside.

There’s a new wave of “smallness” sweeping through the wellness world and it’s wrapped in prescription meds, filtered bodies, and a deeper obsession with being thin. But chasing skinny in 2025 isn’t harmless... it can be dangerously seductive for women who are exhausted, overextended, and just want to feel like something finally works.

In this episode, we break down the nitty gritty of this new wave skinny trend: the metabolic risks, the psychological hooks, and the societal conditioning that’s driving smart, capable women straight into fragility disguised as control.

• Why fast weight loss often comes with lean muscle loss—and why that matters more than your pant size
• What labs reveal about “healthy-looking” bodies that are actually running on fumes
• The nervous system toll of chronic under-eating, overtraining, and living in a loop of restriction
• What it actually takes to look lean while living well and why most women are never taught how

f your body is shrinking but your health, strength, and resilience are fading with it… it’s time to rethink what you’re really working toward. Because looking smaller isn’t the same as becoming stronger. And you didn’t come this far just to end up fragile.

Listen in. Then ask yourself... what is it that you're really chasing?

This episode isn’t about defending ourselves as coaches, it’s about bridging the gap between assumption and reality. Because the truth is, a lot of what people assume about how we train, eat, or stay consistent isn’t just inaccurate... it’s also discouraging. It creates the illusion that we’re built differently, or that the results we have are out of reach for anyone else.

We’re breaking down the 9 most common ways coaches are misunderstood & it's not to justify anything, but to demystify what it actually takes to get here. We’ve simply been prioritizing these things longer. We’ve had more reps, more trial and error, and more time to figure out what works. And the only real difference between where we are and where you might be now is that we just kept going.

Inside this episode, we dive into:

• Why we’re not anti-cardio or supplements, we’re anti 'strategy without context'
• The real reason we prioritize protein, strength, and consistency over quick fixes
• Why balance doesn’t mean never enjoying life, but it does require structure
• How discipline (& time) is the engine behind progress
• What we actually think when someone’s starting from square one (hint: we're never judging you, especially talking to you clients who already committed and invested in themselves)

None of what we do is exclusive or unattainable. You’re not behind, you’re just on a different chapter. And yes, it’s hard. but so is staying stuck, feeling uncomfortable in your body, and second guessing every decision. This is about choosing your hard with intention and knowing that with the right strategy, your version of success is absolutely within reach.

We’re living in a time where nearly every health concept has been packaged into a branded protocol like cycle syncing, GLP-1s, Pilates over lifting, hormone-balancing supplements. What may have started with good intentions has quickly spiraled into a culture of over-complication, where trends are followed without context and strategy is replaced by rule-following.

In this episode, we take a step back to examine what’s actually driving results and what’s distracting women from them. These trends aren’t inherently wrong, but the way they’re being applied is. When tools are used in the wrong order, without a solid foundation or an understanding of physiology, they just create burnout, confusion, and stalled progress.

• Why cycle syncing workouts are often a distraction from the real issue
• How “toning” with Pilates fails to deliver the muscular stimulus needed for change
• The cardio myths that continue to sabotage women’s body composition
• The realities of GLP-1 use without metabolic repair
• Why supplements and lab tests mean nothing without the basics in place
• The over-glorification of extremes like 75 Hard and what sustainable discipline actually looks like

When the fundamentals are solid (consistent strength training, adequate nutrition, recovery, and muscle), you don’t need to chase the next wellness trend. You’re already doing what works.

If you’ve been overthinking your health strategy and underestimating the power of simplicity, this episode will challenge your perspective and anchor you back into what matters most.

Some phrases sound innocent... but they reveal exactly why so many women stay stuck in the same cycles. In this episode, we’re breaking down the offhand comments that quietly sabotage your progress (and others) and why true health coaching is about way more than the number on a scale, a new diet trend, or waiting for the “perfect time.” If you’re serious about leveling up how you think, train, fuel, and live, this conversation is the reset button you didn’t know you needed.

We’re not here to nitpick your language, we’re just here to show you how certain mindsets are keeping you small, stuck, and second-guessing yourself and in some situations, can do more harm than good! Once you hear the why behind it, you won’t look at your goals, your habits, or your words the same way again (in a good way)!

You say you want the results. So why aren’t your actions matching the outcome you’re after?

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck despite “doing everything right.” We’re getting to the root of what’s actually driving the disconnect between your intentions and your reality.

• Why clarity, structure, and feedback matter more than motivation
• How identity misalignment silently erodes consistency and confidence
• The neuroscience behind why you stay inspired but don’t follow through
• What learned helplessness really looks like in high-functioning women
• Practical strategies to realign your actions with your goals—even when life feels full

This is more than just discipline, it's about reclaiming agency, building evidence through action, and finally moving forward with purpose.

If you’re tired of circling the same frustrations and ready to operate from ownership instead of overwhelm then this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

Hit play. Your results are waiting on you.
