How to Put Your Nutrition and Fitness on Autopilot (So You Have to Think Less About It)
Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, & Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to SuckShow Notes
In today's episode, we dive into what it means to “fall to the level of your systems” in health and fitness, focusing on meal planning and prepping, getting in NEAT, and going to the gym. We share our own experiences and many practical tips for making food prep, meal planning, and nutrition easier. We also move into the fitness side of things, sharing the power of walking, explaining how to rack up steps throughout your days, and how to find your best gym schedule.
It’s all about setting yourself up for success in a way that's flexible and adaptable to your needs.
We chat about the importance of finding what works for you, emphasizing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to health and fitness. We also share stories about what happens when things don't go as planned and how to adjust without feeling like you've failed. By the end of this episode, you'll have a bunch of ideas on how to create systems that not only support your goals but also fit into your life without adding stress.

In today’s very special 200th episode, we’re celebrating with the people who have helped make this podcast what it is: our community! We invited listeners to pull up a virtual chair, hang out with us, ask questions, and talk through real-life fitness, nutrition, fat loss, and mindset.
In today’s episode, we’re answering listener questions around protein intake, calorie tracking, daily movement, and managing cravings. How much protein do you need per day? Is it true that we can’t digest more than 35 grams at a time? What do you do about crazy PMS cravings and hunger? Can I do spin classes instead of daily walking?
In today’s SELECTS episode, we’re joined by Barbie Boules,RDN. Best known as The Cognition Dietitian, Barbie is a registered dietitian, cognitive wellness specialist, and optimal aging enthusiast, dedicated to helping women prioritize themselves, experience confidence, excellent health, and genuine joy.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about what to do when you’re sick, how to decide whether you should work out when you’re under the weather, and why a few days away from your normal routine isn’t going to undo your progress. We break down the “above the neck, below the neck” rule for exercise when sick, talk about when it makes sense to rest instead of train, and discuss what to prioritize with nutrition, hydration, and recovery when you’re not feeling your best.
In today’s episode, we're revisiting one of the most misunderstood parts of a fitness journey: maintenance. We answer listener questions about wanting to eat more without gaining weight, dealing with mental hunger versus physical hunger, and why learning to maintain your results is every bit as important as losing weight in the first place. We also discuss the influence of social media, unrealistic expectations around calories, and why maintenance should never feel like a punishment.
