should you diet while traveling? Hashimoto's & fat loss, 40+ weight gain, crossfit and fat loss frustrations, & healthy hacks for a busy life

In this week's episode, I'm talking about my week, my Pilates course, Selling Sunset, Taylor Swift winning at the VMA's, and answering your questions!
Q: Do you ever go back and listen to your older episodes?

Q: My biggest goal is to build muscle and get stronger. I love doing spin 3 days per week (45 mins), lifting 4 days per week (upper and lower split), will doing spin 3 days per week impact my gains? And how would you schedule spin around lifting?

Q: Do you think less steps/movement for 2 weeks require drastic decrease in calories? Worried about upcoming travel.
Q: I just turned 40 and keep seeing fear mongering stuff that I’m going to suddenly gain 10lbs of fat around my mid section. As long as I’m keeping everything the same (macros, activity, sleep, etc.) this is BS right??

Q: I want to lose fat and lean out...my crossfit workouts aren’t cutting it and neither is tracking macros. Any tips would be helpful.
Q: Any tips for keeping nutrition a priority in busy seasons of life? September to December is pretty crazy for my family and my work. It’s just a lot to juggle.
Q: I know you’ve talked about this before, so forgive me but I forgot your answer about this topic: I’ve heard women shouldn’t train fasted. But I hate working out after eating, can you touch on if women should eat something before a workout and why?

Q: What’s something that is mainstream popular that you’re not really into?
Q: Fat loss with Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism, trying it all!!
