The amount of work, errands, tasks, and support mothers do day in and day out is never-ending.

It’s keeping the household and family running.


It’s planning birthday parties and family activities.

It’s running to the grocery store while waiting to pick up the dry cleaning. 

It’s making sure the kids and spouse have everything they need… often putting themselves and their health last.


It can feel like an Invisible Burden... an evergrowing weight carried on the shoulders of many moms. 

And our society expects mothers to carry this load without question. 

What happens when we carry additional weight…? 

Our bodies are stressed and challenged in a magnitude of ways that can lead to stress, poor health. 

The Invisible Burden can lead to weight gain, constant low energy, hormone imbalance. It can lead to being stretched beyond reach. 

What’s worse is that hardworking mothers like you bearing this burden, are often not seen or acknowledged for carrying the contributions and the acts of the family. 

If you’re a stay-at-home mom, society often expects you to carry the invisible burden without question. If you’re a working mom, you’re also expected to carry the invisible burden just as much while working to provide an income to your family. 

You have so many important things pulling you in different directions that it often means you put yourself… and your health… last.

I’m Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Founder, and CEO of the Fit Mother Project and the host of this podcast… and I get all of this.

Growing up… my dad died when I was 9 years old… and my mom became a widow with two young boys… and she had to fight to raise us and keep our family together.
I started the Fit Mother Project and created this podcast with the sole purpose of helping create stronger and more powerful mothers through losing weight without restrictive diets, crazy workouts, or the image of “being perfect.”

Our Fit Mother team has helped over 10,000 women become a stronger more fit version of themselves and we know this podcast will help you do the same on your journey to a better you. 

You can take care of your family and work… and still make time for yourself and your health.

I’ll show you how XYZ. It’s time for you to put yourself and your health first.

Maraya shares her perspective on helping women become more energized, embodied, confident, and connected to themselves, their relationships, and their sense of purpose.</p><p>Together, they explore Maraya’s six pillars of vibrancy: energy, hormones, libido, confidence, community, and vision. They also discuss why many women feel “fine” but not truly alive, how stress and adrenal dysfunction can flatten desire, and why restoring capacity often needs to happen before deeper emotional and relationship work can begin.</p><p>The conversation also moves into intimacy, feminine desire, nervous system regulation, and the daily rhythms that help women stay rooted instead of burned out. It’s a thoughtful, honest episode for any woman who wants to feel more alive in her body and more aligned in her life.</p><p><strong>Rate &amp; Review: </strong>If this episode spoke to you, please take a moment to rate and review the Fit Mother Project Podcast.

Maraya shares her perspective on helping women become more energized, embodied, confident, and connected to themselves, their relationships, and their sense of purpose.</p><p>Together, they explore Maraya’s six pillars of vibrancy: energy, hormones, libido, confidence, community, and vision. They also discuss why many women feel “fine” but not truly alive, how stress and adrenal dysfunction can flatten desire, and why restoring capacity often needs to happen before deeper emotional and relationship work can begin.</p><p>The conversation also moves into intimacy, feminine desire, nervous system regulation, and the daily rhythms that help women stay rooted instead of burned out. It’s a thoughtful, honest episode for any woman who wants to feel more alive in her body and more aligned in her life.</p><p><strong>Rate &amp; Review: </strong>If this episode spoke to you, please take a moment to rate and review the Fit Mother Project Podcast.

You will also get practical tools that fit real life, including a wind-down rule, a quick brain dump to quiet mental loops, and bedroom upgrades that make sleep more restorative.</p><p>In this episode, you’ll learn the 3 jobs of an evening routine:</p><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>The 3 Jobs of an Evening Routine</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Set the Clock (light + meal timing + consistent cues)</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Lower Arousal (mind and nervous system downshift)</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Protect Your Sleep Cave (cool, dark, quiet, positioning)</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Coming up: </strong>How to stay consistent with nutrition, workouts, hydration, and sleep while traveling.</p><p><strong>Missed Morning Routines? </strong>Last week Dr. Anthony's podcast was on setting good morning routines. <u><a href="https://www.fitmotherproject.com/simple-morning-routines-dr-anthony-ep-185/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Head here</a></u> to listen and get your mornings started with a positive bang!</p><p><strong>Rate &amp; Review:</strong> If this episode helped you, leave a 5-star rating and a quick review.

Renee is a 46-year-old mom of five from Columbia, SC. For years, she felt stuck in a body that did not feel like her own. She tried hard and stayed hopeful, but nothing seemed to last.</p><p>Renee opens up about postpartum depression and deep fatigue. She also shares what it felt like to be told her labs were “normal.” Even so, she did not feel normal. At her worst, she crashed so hard she was nearly bedridden. That season forced her to keep searching for real answers.</p><p>Then things started to change. Renee found a plan she could follow without extremes. She learned how to build momentum with simple habits. You will hear what helped most, including morning hydration, the Super Fuel shake, and consistent strength training. She also shares how she built up to longer fasts in a way that felt doable.</p><p>Over the last eight months, Renee lost about 25 pounds. She went from a size 12 to a size 6. More importantly, she got her confidence back. She stopped letting the scale control her mood. She learned to use weekly trends instead of daily emotions.</p><p>If you feel stuck or discouraged, this episode will meet you where you are. Renee’s story is honest and hopeful. It will remind you that progress is possible after 40. You just need the right plan and the support to stay consistent.</p><p><strong>Coming up: </strong>Come back starting Feb. 10 for a 3-part series on Finding Strength in Routines. Morning routines. Evening Routines. Seasonal Routines.

Renee is a 46-year-old mom of five from Columbia, SC. For years, she felt stuck in a body that did not feel like her own. She tried hard and stayed hopeful, but nothing seemed to last.</p><p>Renee opens up about postpartum depression and deep fatigue. She also shares what it felt like to be told her labs were “normal.” Even so, she did not feel normal. At her worst, she crashed so hard she was nearly bedridden. That season forced her to keep searching for real answers.</p><p>Then things started to change. Renee found a plan she could follow without extremes. She learned how to build momentum with simple habits. You will hear what helped most, including morning hydration, the Super Fuel shake, and consistent strength training. She also shares how she built up to longer fasts in a way that felt doable.</p><p>Over the last eight months, Renee lost about 25 pounds. She went from a size 12 to a size 6. More importantly, she got her confidence back. She stopped letting the scale control her mood. She learned to use weekly trends instead of daily emotions.</p><p>If you feel stuck or discouraged, this episode will meet you where you are. Renee’s story is honest and hopeful. It will remind you that progress is possible after 40. You just need the right plan and the support to stay consistent.</p><p><strong>Coming up: </strong>Come back starting Feb. 10 for a 3-part series on Finding Strength in Routines. Morning routines. Evening Routines. Seasonal Routines. You’ll learn some powerful tricks to maximize your fitness plans.</p><p><strong>Rate &amp; Review:</strong> If our podcast is helping you think differently about your health, we’d truly appreciate a quick rating or review. Even a short review makes a big difference.</p><p><strong>Join the Fit Mother Community:</strong> Listening is powerful—but applying this information alongside other committed women takes things to another level.

Dr. Mitchell also breaks down what human studies actually show about MitoQ and other mitochondrial supports like PQQ, NAC, and NAD boosters.</p><p>If you’re a busy mom or midlife woman who wants steady energy, clearer thinking, and stronger training results without burning out your system, this conversation will give you a science-backed roadmap.</p><h2><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></h2><ul><li>Mitochondria = powerhouses and “CEOs” of the cell</li><li>Oxidative stress &amp; “inflammaging” drive faster aging</li><li>Balance matters: not too much, not too little mitochondrial activity</li><li>Exercise (especially intervals) trains mitochondrial resilience</li><li>Fasting &amp; ketones trigger autophagy and longevity pathways</li><li>MCTs (especially C8/C10) support ketones and brain function</li><li>CoQ10 is essential but poorly delivered into mitochondria via standard supplements</li><li>MitoQ = mitochondria-targeted CoQ10 derivative with human data</li><li>Studies: better power output, recovery, and less exercise-induced DNA damage</li><li>Vitamin C, magnesium, B12 often need supplement support with age</li><li>NAC, PQQ, NAD boosters, and urolithin A: promising but mixed data</li><li>No magic bullets: stack smart supplements on top of fundamentals</li></ul><br/><h2>More About MitoQ and Dr. Siobhan Mitchell</h2><p>Website: <a href="https://www.mitoq.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mitoq.com/</a></p><ul><li><strong>Use code FITFAMILY at checkout for 10% off your purchase</strong></li></ul><br/><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MitoQ/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/MitoQ/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mitoq/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/mitoq/</a>\</p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MitoQHealth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/MitoQHealth</a></p><p>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/Mito_Q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/Mito_Q</a></p><p>Tik Tok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mitoq" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@mitoq</a></p><p>Podcast: Cell Me About It <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2Bbc0Oi5ypbui2voVpnCxf?si=40f849b961d041ff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/2Bbc0Oi5ypbui2voVpnCxf?si=40f849b961d041ff</a></p><p>Dr. Siobhan Mitchell's Email: <a href="mailto:smitchell@mitoq.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">smitchell@mitoq.com</a></p><h2>Biographical Information on Dr. Siobhan Mitchell</h2><p>Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, PhD is the chief scientific officer of MitoQ with over 25 years of research experience in how nutrition impacts brain aging, metabolic health, and longevity.

Before Ice Barrel, he worked in corporate aviation buying and selling jets. Like so many, he bought into the fiction society tells us: work harder, sleep less and don't complain. The stress and anxiety of the 60- to 80-hour work week took a toll on his physical and mental well-being. Eventually, reality caught up with Wyatt. "I was broken, sick and desperate for a change."</p><p>Shortly after hitting bottom, a stranger approached him at the gym and offered some candid advice. Saying, "you don't look well," the man then went on to explain the power of breathwork, meditation and cold showers. Wyatt was skeptical, but also desperate to try anything. He started researching the science of cold therapy and was hooked. It wasn't long before his wife noticed the results of these new practices. "It was like he was a new man."</p><p>After growing tired of cold showers and ice baths in the house, Wyatt decided to invent a cold therapy device that would allow him to simplify the practice. He started sharing a few of these prototypes with others and quickly realized that there were so many people looking for a solution for their recovery. That's when he set out on a mission to create the most accessible and effective cold therapy solutions, helping everybody, everywhere, to get colder and feel better! A few months later, Ice Barrel went from a prototype to a product.</p><p><br></p><p>Today Ice Barrel is considered a leading brand in the cold therapy industry. The team at Ice Barrel believes that everyone is capable of a life filled with well-being, and they are working to introduce products that simplify the practices that release us to do the extraordinary.</p><p><br></p><p>Wyatt lives in Ohio with his wife and three children. He is passionate about family, cold therapy, CrossFit, health and wellness, agriculture and being in nature.</p><p><br></p><h2>Alitura Naturals: Skin That Means Business</h2><p>Alitura makes 100% natural, toxin-free products with ingredients like grass-fed colostrum, CoQ10, and plant stem cells.

A blunt comment at the gym and a suggestion to try cold showers and breathing exercises sent him down a path that completely changed his mental health, physical resilience, and life direction.</p><p>You’ll hear how his first intentional 30-second cold shower snapped him into the present moment, helped quiet his anxious mind, and eventually led him to experiment with bathtubs, trash cans, horse troughs—and ultimately to <strong>creating Ice Barrel</strong>, one of the first direct-to-consumer cold plunges on the market.</p><p>If you’re a busy mom (or dad) who wants more energy, better mental focus, and a simple daily practice that makes you feel more alive and grounded, this episode will show you exactly how cold can become one of your most powerful health tools.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Cold plunging as fast, high-impact daily practice</li><li>Present-moment focus instead of anxious, racing thoughts</li><li>Healthy “good stress” to train your nervous system</li><li>Lower inflammation and pain with regular cold exposure</li><li>Mood and energy boost from endorphins and dopamine</li><li>Simple weekly goal: about 12 minutes of cold</li><li>Best range for most people: 50–60°F water</li><li>Intentional breathing: in 4 seconds, out 6 seconds</li><li>Upright plunging posture for calm, alert presence</li><li>Cold + sauna as powerful recovery and reset ritual</li></ul><br/><h2>Plunge Into Ice Barrel and Wyatt Ewing:</h2><p>Website: <a href="https://icebarrel.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://icebarrel.com/</a></p><ul><li><strong>Use discount code FITFAMILY and receive $100 off barrels or chillers, $200 off bundles, in addition to sitewide discounts.</strong></li></ul><br/><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/icebarrel/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/icebarrel/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theicebarrel" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/theicebarrel</a></p><p>X: <a href="https://x.com/Ice_Barrel" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x.com/Ice_Barrel</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC40pA9GBIVro1iZDRWG8seQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC40pA9GBIVro1iZDRWG8seQ</a></p><h2>Biographical Information on Wyatt Ewing</h2><p>Founder and CEO of Ice Barrel, Wyatt’s areas of expertise include product innovation, manufacturing and eCommerce marketing. Before Ice Barrel, he worked in corporate aviation buying and selling jets. Like so many, he bought into the fiction society tells us: work harder, sleep less and don't complain. The stress and anxiety of the 60- to 80-hour work week took a toll on his physical and mental well-being. Eventually, reality caught up with Wyatt. "I was broken, sick and desperate for a change."</p><p>Shortly after hitting bottom, a stranger approached him at the gym and offered some candid advice. Saying, "you don't look well," the man then went on to explain the power of breathwork, meditation and cold showers. Wyatt was skeptical, but also desperate to try anything. He started researching the science of cold therapy and was hooked. It wasn't long before his wife noticed the results of these new practices. "It was like he was a new man."</p><p>After growing tired of cold showers and ice baths in the house, Wyatt decided to invent a cold therapy device that would allow him to simplify the practice. He started sharing a few of these prototypes with others and quickly realized that there were so many people looking for a solution for their recovery. That's when he set out on a mission to create the most accessible and effective cold therapy solutions, helping everybody, everywhere, to get colder and feel better! A few months later, Ice Barrel went from a prototype to a product.</p><p><br></p><p>Today Ice Barrel is considered a leading brand in the cold therapy industry. The team at Ice Barrel believes that everyone is capable of a life filled with well-being, and they are working to introduce products that simplify the practices that release us to do the extraordinary.</p><p><br></p><p>Wyatt lives in Ohio with his wife and three children. He is passionate about family, cold therapy, CrossFit, health and wellness, agriculture and being in nature.</p><p><br></p><h2>Alitura Naturals: Skin That Means Business</h2><p>Alitura makes 100% natural, toxin-free products with ingredients like grass-fed colostrum, CoQ10, and plant stem cells.

Liz shares how auditing her protein (moving from ~40–50g/day to 100–130g), lifting heavier, and adding a simple EAA + creatine ritual transformed her recovery, sleep, energy, and body composition. You’ll learn how leucine acts as the “on-switch” for muscle protein synthesis, why EAAs raise blood amino acids faster than food or even whey, and exactly how to time them around training—especially if you love early-morning or fasted workouts.</p><p>They get into real-life scenarios: perimenopause and muscle loss, plant-forward diets that miss the leucine threshold, travel days with low appetite, and periods of stress when whole-food intake dips. Liz explains how she pairs EAAs with creatine for stronger training and steadier energy, and why she still prioritizes whole-food protein as her foundation. You’ll also hear when not to sip EAAs (e.g., during longer fasts for autophagy goals) and how to keep perspective by focusing on the “big rocks” first—strength, cardio, sleep, stress, connection, and simple, protein-forward meals.</p><p>Finally, Dr. Anthony and Liz compare EAAs vs. whey vs. whole food, outline quick-start dosing/timing ideas, and share easy kitchen and gym habits that make consistency feel effortless.

You’ll hear why a health and fitness community chooses to serve—channeling the strength we build in the gym into something bigger—as we partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to help construct a safe home for a local mom. We walk through the real flow of the week: simple, clean lodging; breakfasts at the church; hands-on building (from foundation to walls and roof); and shared dinners with local families that deliver deep perspective and joy. We also cover safety (we move as a group and even do morning street workouts), why the build progresses over multiple trips, and how seemingly small contributions (like replacing a church kitchen oven) create outsized impact.</p><p>We call it “service + adventure” for a reason. After the build, we explore the country’s beauty—Mayan sites, snorkeling around Caye Caulker, and even a wooden outdoor “jungle gym.” Families and teens thrive on this trip, finding meaningful roles on site and memories that last. We share dates, costs, and logistics for the next trip (starting June 6, 2026), plus how you can join us or support the project if travel isn’t possible. If Belize has been on your heart—or you’re ready to put your fitness to work—this conversation will show you exactly what to expect and how to get involved.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Service is the natural next step of vibrant health—use your energy to help others.&nbsp;</li><li>We partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to build a safe home for Romani and her kids.&nbsp;</li><li>Expect simple, clean lodging; daily construction; shared meals; and rich cross-cultural connection.&nbsp;</li><li>Families and teens thrive on this trip (safe, supervised, real work that matters).&nbsp;</li><li>We mix in adventure—Mayan temples, Caye Caulker snorkeling, and the outdoor “jungle gym.”&nbsp;</li><li>If you can’t come, donating (and employer matches) makes a huge impact.</li></ul><br/><h2>Better Belize It - June 2026!</h2><p>Join us next summer.

You’ll hear why a health and fitness community chooses to serve—channeling the strength we build in the gym into something bigger—as we partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to help construct a safe home for a local mom. We walk through the real flow of the week: simple, clean lodging; breakfasts at the church; hands-on building (from foundation to walls and roof); and shared dinners with local families that deliver deep perspective and joy. We also cover safety (we move as a group and even do morning street workouts), why the build progresses over multiple trips, and how seemingly small contributions (like replacing a church kitchen oven) create outsized impact.</p><p>We call it “service + adventure” for a reason. After the build, we explore the country’s beauty—Mayan sites, snorkeling around Caye Caulker, and even a wooden outdoor “jungle gym.” Families and teens thrive on this trip, finding meaningful roles on site and memories that last. We share dates, costs, and logistics for the next trip (starting June 6, 2026), plus how you can join us or support the project if travel isn’t possible. If Belize has been on your heart—or you’re ready to put your fitness to work—this conversation will show you exactly what to expect and how to get involved.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Service is the natural next step of vibrant health—use your energy to help others.&nbsp;</li><li>We partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to build a safe home for Romani and her kids.&nbsp;</li><li>Expect simple, clean lodging; daily construction; shared meals; and rich cross-cultural connection.&nbsp;</li><li>Families and teens thrive on this trip (safe, supervised, real work that matters).&nbsp;</li><li>We mix in adventure—Mayan temples, Caye Caulker snorkeling, and the outdoor “jungle gym.”&nbsp;</li><li>If you can’t come, donating (and employer matches) makes a huge impact.</li></ul><br/><h2>Better Belize It - June 2026!</h2><p>Join us next summer.

In this candid, practical conversation, Ben Sterling sits down with host Dr. Anthony Balduzzi to unpack a stacked season—family stress, celebrations, grief, and schedule chaos—and how he kept momentum without chasing perfection. You’ll hear the real story behind Ben’s “anchor habits” (hydration, morning light, walks, protein-first meals) and how he flexes the variables—training volume, carb intake, and fasting windows—when life gets loud. The result is a repeatable framework for staying consistent when motivation is thin.</p><p>We also go deep on training smarter over 40: when to deload (and what that actually looks like), how to scale carbs to match workout demand, and simple injury work-arounds that protect knees and shoulders while you keep making progress. Ben shares shoulder and spine “hygiene” you’ll actually do in 5–10 minutes a day—think hangs, traction, and elbows-in pressing tweaks—plus a short, plug-and-play routine for high-stress weeks.</p><p>Finally, with candy season and holidays looming, Dr. A and Ben lay out a guilt-free playbook: plan one discrete splurge, donate the leftovers, and pair big meals with glycogen-draining training or a short reset fast so you refill muscle, not waistline. If you’ve been juggling responsibilities, emotions, and aches—and still want forward motion—Episode 169 gives you the mindset, micro-habits, and on-the-ground tactics to turn any setback into your next comeback.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Keep 2–3 <em>anchors</em> non-negotiable (e.g., AM/PM walks, hydration, daylight).</li><li>Training is a stressor—on high-stress weeks, deload beats grinding harder.</li><li>Scale carbs to training demand; fasting is fine when appetite dips.</li><li>Celebrate <em>on purpose</em>, once, and move on—avoid “carryover calories.”</li><li>Don’t push through sharp pain; modify exercises and investigate imbalances.</li><li>Shoulder comfort loves elbows-in pressing and smart exercise selection.</li><li>Daily “spine hygiene” (hangs, gentle traction, rolling) pays off fast.</li><li>For candy season: plan a discrete splurge, donate the rest, and reset.</li><li>Empty the “carb buckets” (training + fasting) before big-carb events.</li><li>Meaning-making matters: channel grief/stress into purposeful action.</li></ul><br/><h2>Fit Mother Featured Events</h2><ul><li><strong>Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE 2026</strong> — August 7–9, 2026 Super Early Bird pricing now through Dec. 1. <a href="https://www.fitfatherproject.com/live-event-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here and plan to join us!</a></li><li><strong>Sedona Retreats</strong> — Fit Mother Retreat <a href="http://www.fitmotherproject.com/sedona-retreat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">March 2026</a>.

The result is a repeatable framework for staying consistent when motivation is thin.</p><p>We also go deep on training smarter over 40: when to deload (and what that actually looks like), how to scale carbs to match workout demand, and simple injury work-arounds that protect knees and shoulders while you keep making progress. Ben shares shoulder and spine “hygiene” you’ll actually do in 5–10 minutes a day—think hangs, traction, and elbows-in pressing tweaks—plus a short, plug-and-play routine for high-stress weeks.</p><p>Finally, with candy season and holidays looming, Dr. A and Ben lay out a guilt-free playbook: plan one discrete splurge, donate the leftovers, and pair big meals with glycogen-draining training or a short reset fast so you refill muscle, not waistline. If you’ve been juggling responsibilities, emotions, and aches—and still want forward motion—Episode 169 gives you the mindset, micro-habits, and on-the-ground tactics to turn any setback into your next comeback.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Keep 2–3 <em>anchors</em> non-negotiable (e.g., AM/PM walks, hydration, daylight).</li><li>Training is a stressor—on high-stress weeks, deload beats grinding harder.</li><li>Scale carbs to training demand; fasting is fine when appetite dips.</li><li>Celebrate <em>on purpose</em>, once, and move on—avoid “carryover calories.”</li><li>Don’t push through sharp pain; modify exercises and investigate imbalances.</li><li>Shoulder comfort loves elbows-in pressing and smart exercise selection.</li><li>Daily “spine hygiene” (hangs, gentle traction, rolling) pays off fast.</li><li>For candy season: plan a discrete splurge, donate the rest, and reset.</li><li>Empty the “carb buckets” (training + fasting) before big-carb events.</li><li>Meaning-making matters: channel grief/stress into purposeful action.</li></ul><br/><h2>Fit Mother Featured Events</h2><ul><li><strong>Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE 2026</strong> — August 7–9, 2026 Super Early Bird pricing now through Dec. 1. <a href="https://www.fitfatherproject.com/live-event-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here and plan to join us!</a></li><li><strong>Sedona Retreats</strong> — Fit Mother Retreat <a href="http://www.fitmotherproject.com/sedona-retreat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">March 2026</a>.

Plus—live event invites for 2026 if you want to take the next step in person.&nbsp;</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Build a seasonal plan: what worked in summer may not work in fall.&nbsp;</li><li>Create indoor training contingencies (space, equipment, time block).&nbsp;</li><li>Protect mood/sleep as daylight drops: morning light or full-spectrum lamp.&nbsp;</li><li>Vitamin D: consider testing and/or increasing D3 + K2 during low-sun months.&nbsp;</li><li>Use warming, one-pot meals (stews, slow-cooker) for easy adherence.&nbsp;</li><li>Seasonal swaps: squash, root veg, pomegranate for micronutrients &amp; fiber.&nbsp;</li><li>Holiday strategy: small protein snack pre-event; protein/veg first; dessert last.&nbsp;</li><li>Leverage calories: strength train the day after big meals or add a light fast.&nbsp;</li><li>Guard your circadian rhythm: earlier wind-down as evenings get darker.&nbsp;</li><li>If travel ramps up, prep a portable routine and default meals.&nbsp;</li><li>Think in systems (routines + environment) rather than willpower.&nbsp;</li><li>Consider in-person events for accountability and momentum spikes.&nbsp;</li></ul><br/><h2>Alitura: For Great Skin Care Products</h2><p>Alitura makes 100% natural, toxin-free products with ingredients like grass-fed colostrum, CoQ10, and plant stem cells.

A 59-year-old grandmother of six, higher-ed leader, and certified professional coach from San Antonio who refused to let family history dictate her future. After a routine checkup in early 2024 revealed an A1C of 6.6 with high cholesterol and blood pressure, she chose a structured, natural path over medication—and found the Fit Mother Project.

After losing close family members and taking time off work to heal, Babs found FMP in May 2024 and finally discovered the consistency and accountability that every other plan lacked. What started as “showing up for an early appointment with Dr. A, Ben, and Kat” became a lifestyle that lights up her mornings and carries momentum through the entire day.</p><p>Babs details the nuts and bolts of her routine: five training days per week, strength in the morning followed by incline walking, plus short walks after lunch to keep energy and mood high. She’s dropped 10 pounds, gained visible muscle, and built confidence by mastering form, using smart modifications for a partial meniscus tear, and—yes—tackling Ben’s endless push-up variations. Her longtime favorite? The Apex 10, which jump-started strength and definition and reminded her she can do hard things.</p><p>Nutrition was the tougher puzzle. With guidance from FMP coaches (special shoutouts to Amy and Ben), Babs now focuses on simple, nutrient-dense meals, front-loads hydration earlier in the day, and uses lighter evening options—like a protein shake or yogurt with berries—to meet protein goals without disrupting sleep. She’s learned to watch non-scale victories and ignore daily fluctuations: weight loss isn’t linear, and strength, energy, and clothes fitting better tell the real story.</p><p>Most of all, this episode is about hope, connection, and motion. Babs’ message to women approaching 60: it’s never too late to start. Move your body. Start small. Keep going. Be a lighthouse for the people you love—show what’s possible by living it every day.

Kim explains the real‑world prevalence of parasites and why the common numbers likely underreport the problem due to testing blind spots. She breaks down the landscape: <strong>microscopic protozoa</strong> (e.g., Giardia, <em>D. fragilis</em>, Crypto), <strong>visible nematodes</strong> (roundworms, flukes, tapeworms, pinworms), <strong>Candida</strong> overgrowth, and <strong>Lyme</strong>—and how these often stack with <strong>heavy metals</strong> and <strong>mold</strong> to drive symptoms from gut issues to mood changes and cravings.</p><p>We dig into <strong>how parasites hijack behavior</strong>, the candida–sugar loop, and the often‑misunderstood <em>toxoplasma</em> story beyond just cats. Kim outlines a practical framework for cleansing: <strong>kill → bind → evacuate</strong>, including why <strong>binders</strong> are non‑negotiable, what <strong>biofilm</strong> is, and how her <strong>Parafiy/Parafide Kit</strong> (three tinctures + a binder) sequences herbs like wormwood, clove, cilantro (for metals), and more to make the process simple and tolerable. We also cover lifestyle support—movement, lymph flow, stress reduction, and smart food add‑ins (pumpkin seeds, garlic, cilantro, dandelion root).</p><p>Kim also shines a light on <strong>mold</strong>—how it brain‑fogged her life, how to suspect it, and why you should address the <strong>source </strong>(home, RVs, bathrooms, slow leaks) while using targeted support. She discusses <strong>water and pet</strong> exposures, why some municipal testing misses <strong>nematodes</strong>, and simple habits to stay proactive—like running a <strong>30‑day cleanse 3–4×/year</strong>, especially around travel, sushi nights, lake swims, or stressful seasons.</p><p>We wrap with practical food and product tips: daily binders and minerals (she likes <strong>fulvic/humic</strong> support—her kit even uses a <strong>fulvic foot soak</strong>), probiotic foods like <strong>Coconut Cult</strong>, and gut‑soothing <strong>marshmallow root</strong> treats. If you’re over 40, love sushi, have pets, or feel stuck with “mystery” symptoms, this one gives you a grounded plan to test, cleanse, and rebuild—without fear.</p><h2>Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>Parasites, candida, mold, and heavy metals often co-exist</li><li>Visible worms are only part of the picture; protozoa are very common</li><li>The cleanse framework is kill → bind → evacuate, with binders being essential</li><li>Biofilm breakdown is necessary to expose hidden organisms</li><li>Cilantro and other herbs can support heavy metal detox</li><li>Sushi, raw produce, and undercooked meats are common parasite exposures</li><li>Pets, ponds, lakes, and unfiltered water are major risk factors</li><li>Running a 30-day cleanse three to four times per year is recommended</li><li>Movement, lymph flow, and stress reduction improve outcomes</li><li>Candida drives sugar cravings; diet adjustments are key</li><li>Mold can change mood and behavior; addressing sources is critical</li><li>Simple foods like garlic, clove, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro support cleansing</li><li>Regular water and air testing can reveal hidden exposures</li><li>Fulvic and humic minerals provide support and binding capacity</li><li>Binders should always accompany anti-parasitic herbs or foods</li></ul><br/><h2>Learn More about Kim Rogers and RogersHood:</h2><p>Website:&nbsp; <a href="https://rogershood.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rogershood.com/</a></p><ul><li><strong>Use discount code FITFAMILY at checkout and receive 10% off your order.</strong></li></ul><br/><p>Podcast: What's Eating U?! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-eating-u/id1798180273" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-eating-u/id1798180273</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/groups/939934813840694/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/groups/939934813840694/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mrsrogers.hood/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/mrsrogers.hood/</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsrogershood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsrogershood</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0DqZB28z2jtUSLgXyC-N9g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0DqZB28z2jtUSLgXyC-N9g</a></p><p>Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/RogersHood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/RogersHood</a></p><p>Mold test kits: <a href="https://www.gotmold.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gotmold.com/</a></p><p>Water tests: <a href="https://www.parasites.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.parasites.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://etrlabs.com/product/legacy-health-scan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://etrlabs.com/product/legacy-health-scan/</a></p><h2>Biographical Information on Kim Rogers</h2><p>Kim Rogers is a seasoned wellness professional with over 20 years of experience in Western medicine.

If you’re over 40, love sushi, have pets, or feel stuck with “mystery” symptoms, this one gives you a grounded plan to test, cleanse, and rebuild—without fear.</p><h2>Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>Parasites, candida, mold, and heavy metals often co-exist</li><li>Visible worms are only part of the picture; protozoa are very common</li><li>The cleanse framework is kill → bind → evacuate, with binders being essential</li><li>Biofilm breakdown is necessary to expose hidden organisms</li><li>Cilantro and other herbs can support heavy metal detox</li><li>Sushi, raw produce, and undercooked meats are common parasite exposures</li><li>Pets, ponds, lakes, and unfiltered water are major risk factors</li><li>Running a 30-day cleanse three to four times per year is recommended</li><li>Movement, lymph flow, and stress reduction improve outcomes</li><li>Candida drives sugar cravings; diet adjustments are key</li><li>Mold can change mood and behavior; addressing sources is critical</li><li>Simple foods like garlic, clove, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro support cleansing</li><li>Regular water and air testing can reveal hidden exposures</li><li>Fulvic and humic minerals provide support and binding capacity</li><li>Binders should always accompany anti-parasitic herbs or foods</li></ul><br/><h2>Learn More about Kim Rogers and RogersHood:</h2><p>Website:&nbsp; <a href="https://rogershood.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rogershood.com/</a></p><ul><li><strong>Use discount code FITFAMILY at checkout and receive 10% off your order.</strong></li></ul><br/><p>Podcast: What's Eating U?! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-eating-u/id1798180273" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-eating-u/id1798180273</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/groups/939934813840694/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/groups/939934813840694/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mrsrogers.hood/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/mrsrogers.hood/</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsrogershood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsrogershood</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0DqZB28z2jtUSLgXyC-N9g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0DqZB28z2jtUSLgXyC-N9g</a></p><p>Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/RogersHood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/RogersHood</a></p><p>Mold test kits: <a href="https://www.gotmold.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gotmold.com/</a></p><p>Water tests: <a href="https://www.parasites.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.parasites.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://etrlabs.com/product/legacy-health-scan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://etrlabs.com/product/legacy-health-scan/</a></p><h2>Biographical Information on Kim Rogers</h2><p>Kim Rogers is a seasoned wellness professional with over 20 years of experience in Western medicine.

With over 15 years dedicated to researching and educating about spirulina and chlorella, Dr. Arnston shares her fascinating journey from a career in international business to becoming a global advocate for algae nutrition. It all started when her sister’s battle with breast cancer inspired her to learn about plant-based nutrition and the healing power of alkaline foods.</p><p>Dr. Arnston explains why spirulina and chlorella are considered <em>superfoods among superfoods</em> — boasting more protein per gram than steak, rich in essential fatty acids, packed with B vitamins, chlorophyll, antioxidants, and powerful compounds like phycocyanin and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Spirulina is an energy-boosting, hunger-satisfying, mitochondria-supporting powerhouse, while chlorella is the ultimate detoxifier, binding to heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and other toxins.

With over 15 years dedicated to researching and educating about spirulina and chlorella, Dr. Arnston shares her fascinating journey from a career in international business to becoming a global advocate for algae nutrition. It all started when her sister’s battle with breast cancer inspired her to learn about plant-based nutrition and the healing power of alkaline foods.</p><p>Dr. Arnston explains why spirulina and chlorella are considered <em>superfoods among superfoods</em> — boasting more protein per gram than steak, rich in essential fatty acids, packed with B vitamins, chlorophyll, antioxidants, and powerful compounds like phycocyanin and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Spirulina is an energy-boosting, hunger-satisfying, mitochondria-supporting powerhouse, while chlorella is the ultimate detoxifier, binding to heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and other toxins. Together, they address three major modern health challenges: nutrient deficiencies, toxin overload, and age-related cellular decline.</p><p>Listeners will learn exactly how to incorporate these foods into their daily lives — from quick energy before workouts to deep detox support at night — and why they’re safe for everyone from kids to grandparents (even pets). Dr. Arnston shares specific protocols, including dosages, timing, and pairing strategies for maximum benefits, as well as unique “biohacks” combining algae with red light therapy, cold plunges, and saunas.</p><p>Whether you’re looking to boost your athletic performance, support longevity, enhance detoxification, or simply fill nutritional gaps in a clean, convenient way, this episode will open your eyes to the untapped potential of algae.

Dr. Stills shares how she went from aspiring pediatrician to menopause expert—thanks to one curious patient and a Suzanne Somers book—and how that moment sparked a lifelong mission to help women reclaim vitality in their second act of life.</p><p>Dr. Stills challenges the outdated narrative that menopause is a disease to be feared or managed.

As the opening keynote speaker at Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE, David shares the life-altering principles that help high performers — and everyday parents — break free from burnout and finally experience peace, vitality, and purpose.</p><p>David explores how most of us are stuck in "problem consciousness," over-identifying with our struggles and over-controlling our outcomes. Whether it's overeating late at night, skipping workouts, or grinding through burnout at work, the answer isn’t more willpower — it’s radical acceptance and a shift in perception. David shares how meditation, breathwork, nervous system healing, and even giving up caffeine played pivotal roles in his transformation.</p><p>The conversation also touches on the deeper meaning of health as a spiritual journey. David reflects on how being a father opened his heart to a more divine relationship with life — and how helping our children thrive in today’s tech-driven world requires slowing down, limiting screen time, and fostering imagination and stillness.</p><p>Whether you’re striving to heal your body, grow your business, or simply feel <em>better</em> day to day, this episode will inspire you to slow down, surrender, and realign with the energy of trust and flow — where true breakthroughs happen.</p><h2>Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>Acceptance unlocks progress</li><li>Emotional regulation &gt; external control</li><li>Beliefs shape reality</li><li>Willpower is overrated</li><li>Temptation loses power when normalized</li><li>Caffeine disrupts inner peace</li><li>HRV breathing calms the nervous system</li><li>Meditation builds inner stillness</li><li>Hold the vision, not the pressure</li><li>Stop doing it all — create space for grace</li><li>Energy leaks come from self-judgment</li><li>Health is a spiritual practice</li><li>Your outer world reflects your inner world</li><li>Parenting = energetic container, not control</li><li>A peaceful body invites divine connection</li></ul><br/><h2>Where to Discover More with David Bayer:</h2><p><strong>Special Bonus for our upcoming Fit Father, Fit Mother LIVE 2025 Event</strong></p><p>David is giving every attendee free access to his mind hack book and video course.

As the opening keynote speaker at Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE, David shares the life-altering principles that help high performers — and everyday parents — break free from burnout and finally experience peace, vitality, and purpose.</p><p>David explores how most of us are stuck in "problem consciousness," over-identifying with our struggles and over-controlling our outcomes. Whether it's overeating late at night, skipping workouts, or grinding through burnout at work, the answer isn’t more willpower — it’s radical acceptance and a shift in perception. David shares how meditation, breathwork, nervous system healing, and even giving up caffeine played pivotal roles in his transformation.</p><p>The conversation also touches on the deeper meaning of health as a spiritual journey. David reflects on how being a father opened his heart to a more divine relationship with life — and how helping our children thrive in today’s tech-driven world requires slowing down, limiting screen time, and fostering imagination and stillness.</p><p>Whether you’re striving to heal your body, grow your business, or simply feel <em>better</em> day to day, this episode will inspire you to slow down, surrender, and realign with the energy of trust and flow — where true breakthroughs happen.</p><h2>Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>Acceptance unlocks progress</li><li>Emotional regulation &gt; external control</li><li>Beliefs shape reality</li><li>Willpower is overrated</li><li>Temptation loses power when normalized</li><li>Caffeine disrupts inner peace</li><li>HRV breathing calms the nervous system</li><li>Meditation builds inner stillness</li><li>Hold the vision, not the pressure</li><li>Stop doing it all — create space for grace</li><li>Energy leaks come from self-judgment</li><li>Health is a spiritual practice</li><li>Your outer world reflects your inner world</li><li>Parenting = energetic container, not control</li><li>A peaceful body invites divine connection</li></ul><br/><h2>Where to Discover More with David Bayer:</h2><p><strong>Special Bonus for our upcoming Fit Father, Fit Mother LIVE 2025 Event</strong></p><p>David is giving every attendee free access to his mind hack book and video course.

Whitney opens up about her personal journey with body image struggles, disordered eating, and the healing power of relational self-inquiry. This conversation dives deep into the emotional terrain of how women relate to their bodies—and why that relationship is about far more than what we see in the mirror.</p><p>Whitney introduces the transformative idea that body image isn't static or skin-deep—it's a dynamic inner story shaped by our lived experiences, upbringing, relationships, trauma, and even the media we consume. She unpacks how societal standards and early relational “mirrors” can skew how we see ourselves—and how shifting that reflection with compassion, curiosity, and connection can begin to rewire how we feel in our skin.</p><p>The conversation also challenges the perfection-driven, beauty-obsessed messages perpetuated by social media and diet culture. Whitney offers practical tools to help listeners navigate body image “spikes,” reframe jealousy, and begin cultivating a more authentic, aligned sense of beauty rooted in inner awareness—not comparison.</p><p>Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or have already hit your goal weight but still struggle to love what you see, this episode is a must-listen. It offers both philosophical insight and real-world practices for anyone looking to heal their relationship with their body.</p><h2>Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>Body image is a lived relationship, not a snapshot in the mirror</li><li>Healing begins in connection, not isolation</li><li>Early caregivers shape our unconscious body beliefs through "relational mirroring"</li><li>Shape-shifting for belonging often precedes body-altering behaviors</li><li>Curiosity and compassion are antidotes to body shame</li><li>Alignment is a deeper definition of beauty—more than aesthetics</li><li>Jealousy can be a guidepost to unmet desires</li><li>Social media distorts body ideals and feeds comparison</li><li>Movement boosts mood more immediately than it changes physique</li><li>Negative body image moments can become spiritual and emotional practice</li><li>Presence and self-inquiry trump perfectionism</li><li>Practical reframes like the “Relational Mirror Exercise” can rewire body narratives</li><li>Acceptance often requires grieving what won’t or can’t be</li><li>Healing doesn’t require loving how you look every day—it requires tools and awareness</li><li>Community and shared humanity are essential for lasting transformation</li></ul><br/><h2>More About Whitney Otto</h2><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://bodyimageinsideout.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bodyimageinsideout.com/</a></p><p><strong>Book:</strong> <strong><em>Body Image Inside Out</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://bodyimageinsideout.com/book" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bodyimageinsideout.com/book</a></p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bodyimageinsideout/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/bodyimageinsideout/</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneylpost/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneylpost/</a></p><h2>Biographical Information on Whitney Otto</h2><p>Whitney Otto is a US world rowing champion and 2000 Olympic alternate who pivoted her skill and passion into helping individuals and teams achieve their goals through leadership development and clinical intervention.

This conversation dives deep into the emotional terrain of how women relate to their bodies—and why that relationship is about far more than what we see in the mirror.</p><p>Whitney introduces the transformative idea that body image isn't static or skin-deep—it's a dynamic inner story shaped by our lived experiences, upbringing, relationships, trauma, and even the media we consume. She unpacks how societal standards and early relational “mirrors” can skew how we see ourselves—and how shifting that reflection with compassion, curiosity, and connection can begin to rewire how we feel in our skin.</p><p>The conversation also challenges the perfection-driven, beauty-obsessed messages perpetuated by social media and diet culture. Whitney offers practical tools to help listeners navigate body image “spikes,” reframe jealousy, and begin cultivating a more authentic, aligned sense of beauty rooted in inner awareness—not comparison.</p><p>Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or have already hit your goal weight but still struggle to love what you see, this episode is a must-listen. It offers both philosophical insight and real-world practices for anyone looking to heal their relationship with their body.</p><h2>Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>Body image is a lived relationship, not a snapshot in the mirror</li><li>Healing begins in connection, not isolation</li><li>Early caregivers shape our unconscious body beliefs through "relational mirroring"</li><li>Shape-shifting for belonging often precedes body-altering behaviors</li><li>Curiosity and compassion are antidotes to body shame</li><li>Alignment is a deeper definition of beauty—more than aesthetics</li><li>Jealousy can be a guidepost to unmet desires</li><li>Social media distorts body ideals and feeds comparison</li><li>Movement boosts mood more immediately than it changes physique</li><li>Negative body image moments can become spiritual and emotional practice</li><li>Presence and self-inquiry trump perfectionism</li><li>Practical reframes like the “Relational Mirror Exercise” can rewire body narratives</li><li>Acceptance often requires grieving what won’t or can’t be</li><li>Healing doesn’t require loving how you look every day—it requires tools and awareness</li><li>Community and shared humanity are essential for lasting transformation</li></ul><br/><h2>More About Whitney Otto</h2><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://bodyimageinsideout.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bodyimageinsideout.com/</a></p><p><strong>Book:</strong> <strong><em>Body Image Inside Out</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://bodyimageinsideout.com/book" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bodyimageinsideout.com/book</a></p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bodyimageinsideout/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/bodyimageinsideout/</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneylpost/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneylpost/</a></p><h2>Biographical Information on Whitney Otto</h2><p>Whitney Otto is a US world rowing champion and 2000 Olympic alternate who pivoted her skill and passion into helping individuals and teams achieve their goals through leadership development and clinical intervention.

In this powerful episode, #154 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Head Trainer Ben Sterling to unpack this deeply human struggle — and share the science and strategies behind breaking food addiction for good.</p><p>Ben opens up about his personal journey from pizza-fueled college nights to becoming a model of discipline and health. Together they explore why willpower alone isn't enough, and how understanding brain chemistry — specifically dopamine loops, habit cues, and emotional triggers — is the key to reclaiming control. The conversation blends cutting-edge neuroscience with hard-earned wisdom, offering listeners a toolkit to stop compulsive eating and feed the “good wolf” instead.</p><p>You’ll learn how small, daily decisions either reinforce or break addictive patterns, why delayed gratification is a key to long-term success, and how food cravings are often just symptoms of deeper emotional needs. They also share practical strategies, from environmental design and mindful “urge surfing,” to movement-based interruptions and healthy substitutions that satisfy without sabotaging.</p><p>If you’ve ever asked yourself, <em>“Why do I keep doing this?”</em> — this conversation is your wake-up call. It’s raw, relatable, and deeply empowering. Whether you're trying to avoid late-night snacks, ditch sugar, or stop eating when stressed, this episode will give you the tools and perspective to finally take back control.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Dopamine-driven cravings start with a cue, not just hunger</li><li>“Feeding the wolf” reinforces brain wiring for impulsivity</li><li>Stress and fatigue weaken the brain’s impulse control (prefrontal cortex)</li><li>Long-term health is built by winning small daily decisions</li><li>Willpower is like a muscle — use it wisely, but don’t rely on it alone</li><li>Substitutions (e.g., lettuce-wrapped burgers) can satisfy without derailing progress</li><li>“Urge surfing” helps ride out cravings with mindfulness, not resistance</li><li>Evening walks can replace post-dinner dessert habits</li><li>Proximity = temptation — keep junk food out of the house</li><li>Painful post-binge consequences can be powerful learning tools</li><li>Rewiring patterns means identifying your biggest triggers and replacing routines</li><li>Addictions (food, shopping, etc.) often stem from the same neural loops</li><li>Cravings peak and then pass — delay action and you weaken them</li><li>Health is freedom — from disease and from compulsive patterns</li><li>Discipline becomes easier when your environment supports it</li></ul><br/><h2>Just Thrive!</h2><p>Website: <a href="https://justthrivehealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://justthrivehealth.com/</a></p><p><strong>Use promo code: FITFAMILY</strong> and save 20% on your first 90-day bottle of Just Thrive Probiotics.</p><h2>Try Out Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club</h2><p>Go to <a href="http://go.getfreshfitfather.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://go.getfreshfitfather.com</a> to enroll in the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, pay just $1 to help cover shipping costs, and receive a complimentary full-size bottle ($39 value) of one of the greatest olive oils T.J. has ever discovered.&nbsp;</p><p>With T.J.’s Club, there’s never a commitment to buy anything, now or ever, and you can cancel your membership at any time.</p><p><br></p><h2>Let’s Meet Up in Phoenix!</h2><p>We are hosting our first-ever Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE event in Phoenix, Aug. 29-3.

In this powerful episode, #154 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Head Trainer Ben Sterling to unpack this deeply human struggle — and share the science and strategies behind breaking food addiction for good.</p><p>Ben opens up about his personal journey from pizza-fueled college nights to becoming a model of discipline and health. Together they explore why willpower alone isn't enough, and how understanding brain chemistry — specifically dopamine loops, habit cues, and emotional triggers — is the key to reclaiming control. The conversation blends cutting-edge neuroscience with hard-earned wisdom, offering listeners a toolkit to stop compulsive eating and feed the “good wolf” instead.</p><p>You’ll learn how small, daily decisions either reinforce or break addictive patterns, why delayed gratification is a key to long-term success, and how food cravings are often just symptoms of deeper emotional needs. They also share practical strategies, from environmental design and mindful “urge surfing,” to movement-based interruptions and healthy substitutions that satisfy without sabotaging.</p><p>If you’ve ever asked yourself, <em>“Why do I keep doing this?”</em> — this conversation is your wake-up call. It’s raw, relatable, and deeply empowering. Whether you're trying to avoid late-night snacks, ditch sugar, or stop eating when stressed, this episode will give you the tools and perspective to finally take back control.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Dopamine-driven cravings start with a cue, not just hunger</li><li>“Feeding the wolf” reinforces brain wiring for impulsivity</li><li>Stress and fatigue weaken the brain’s impulse control (prefrontal cortex)</li><li>Long-term health is built by winning small daily decisions</li><li>Willpower is like a muscle — use it wisely, but don’t rely on it alone</li><li>Substitutions (e.g., lettuce-wrapped burgers) can satisfy without derailing progress</li><li>“Urge surfing” helps ride out cravings with mindfulness, not resistance</li><li>Evening walks can replace post-dinner dessert habits</li><li>Proximity = temptation — keep junk food out of the house</li><li>Painful post-binge consequences can be powerful learning tools</li><li>Rewiring patterns means identifying your biggest triggers and replacing routines</li><li>Addictions (food, shopping, etc.) often stem from the same neural loops</li><li>Cravings peak and then pass — delay action and you weaken them</li><li>Health is freedom — from disease and from compulsive patterns</li><li>Discipline becomes easier when your environment supports it</li></ul><br/><h2>Just Thrive!</h2><p>Website: <a href="https://justthrivehealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://justthrivehealth.com/</a></p><p><strong>Use promo code: FITFAMILY</strong> and save 20% on your first 90-day bottle of Just Thrive Probiotics.</p><h2>Try Out Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club</h2><p>Go to <a href="http://go.getfreshfitfather.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://go.getfreshfitfather.com</a> to enroll in the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, pay just $1 to help cover shipping costs, and receive a complimentary full-size bottle ($39 value) of one of the greatest olive oils T.J. has ever discovered.&nbsp;</p><p>With T.J.’s Club, there’s never a commitment to buy anything, now or ever, and you can cancel your membership at any time.</p><p><br></p><h2>Let’s Meet Up in Phoenix!</h2><p>We are hosting our first-ever Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE event in Phoenix, Aug. 29-3.

Adam provides a visceral, relatable description of how these patterns develop, the havoc they can wreak, and how they can be completely healed through conscious effort, safe relationships, and nervous system regulation.</p><p>But this episode isn’t just theoretical. Dr. Balduzzi and Adam dive deep into the practical side: how women can build secure attachment through small, consistent steps, how fitness plays a critical role in rewiring the brain for connection, and how parents can start creating transformational moments with their kids—without needing to be perfect.</p><p>This episode will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt disconnected despite doing everything “right.” It’s a wake-up call for high performers, a roadmap for parents, and a love letter to those willing to do the inner work. Don’t miss the insights that could quite literally transform your relationships—and your life.</p><h2>Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>Early trauma wires nervous system dysfunction</li><li>Avoidant = survival mode, overwork, disconnected</li><li>Anxious = approval seeking, learned helplessness</li><li>Secure = calm, connected, honest communication</li><li>Attachment issues crush hormone balance</li><li>Most divorces = anxious woman + avoidant man</li><li>High performers often hide deep loneliness</li><li>Nervous system dysregulation blocks oxytocin</li><li>Healing begins with awareness and self-reflection</li><li>Fixing attachment transforms your physiology</li><li>Parents must become self-correcting, not perfect</li><li>Fitness supports nervous system healing</li><li>Kids model what they see, not what you say</li><li>Transparency + feedback = secure relationships</li><li>Your health habits are also love habits</li></ul><br/><h2>Learn More about Adam Lane Smith:</h2><p>Website: <a href="https://adamlanesmith.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adamlanesmith.com/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/attachmentadam/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/attachmentadam/</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBO093GsMmnA9tb8lZPhbgg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBO093GsMmnA9tb8lZPhbgg</a></p><p>X: <a href="https://x.com/adamlanesmith" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x.com/adamlanesmith</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@attachmentbro?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@attachmentbro?lang=en</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AdamLaneSmith/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/AdamLaneSmith/</a></p><p>Podcast: I Wish You Knew Podcast&nbsp; <a href="https://iwishyouknew.show/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://iwishyouknew.show/</a></p><p>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.com/@attachmentadam" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.threads.com/@attachmentadam</a></p><h2>Biographical Information on Adam Lane Smith:</h2><p>Adam Lane Smith, MA Psych, is recognized globally for his groundbreaking work in applied attachment psychology.

She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina, along with her husband, created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2>Come join us in Phoenix this August!</h2><p>We are gathering in Phoenix, Arizona, August 29-31, 2025.

She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina, along with her husband, created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2>Come join us in Phoenix this August!</h2><p>We are gathering in Phoenix, Arizona, August 29-31, 2025.

Peter’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life.</p><p><br></p><p>During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patient’s spines while they sleep.</p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Martone’s revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier.

Many people are affected by forward head posture due to our seated jobs, use of cell phones and devices, and the use of improper pillows.&nbsp;</p><p>He explains the connection between forward head posture and the psoas muscle and how correcting sleep position can improve overall health.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Martone shares tips on transitioning to a healthy sleep position and emphasizes the importance of using the right pillow. He also discusses the measurement and tracking of sleep, the impact of technology on sleep, and supplements for sleep. Dr. Martone also shares his vision for the future of sleep and well-being.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Proper sleep position is crucial for overall health and can be achieved by using the right pillow.</li><li>Forward head posture can lead to issues with the psoas muscle and other areas of the body.</li><li>Transitioning to a healthy sleep position can improve sleep quality and overall well-being.</li><li>Measuring and tracking sleep, managing exposure to technology, and using supplements can all contribute to better sleep.</li></ul><br/><h2>Biographical Information about Dr. Peter Martone</h2><p>Dr. Peter Martone is an educator and patient care practitioner who has been focused on improving patient’s biomechanics for over 23 years during his private practice as a chiropractor.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine affects the function of the central nervous system, and this principle is the cornerstone of his practice. Peter’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life.</p><p><br></p><p>During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patient’s spines while they sleep.</p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Martone’s revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, Dave Asprey’s Upgraded Conference, and over 50 podcasts as he travels the world teaching people how to regain their health by mastering the art of sleeping.</p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about Dr. Martone at <a href="http://www.drsleepright.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.drsleepright.com</a>.

cellular biology, agricultural soil science, and the study of plant decomposition.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In the process, Caroline has found ways to help others understand how mineral depletion affects the body and how plant-based humic and fulvic mineral supplementation can support healing and optimal health.</p><p><br></p><p>This is going to be a huge topic of discussion in the health and wellness space in the next five to 10 years — and you’re hearing about it here first!</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode you’ll learn:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why minerals are so important to health

divorce.&nbsp;</li><li>How he dealt with watching his father change and grow as he was becoming a man himself.&nbsp;</li><li>What led him to join the Marine Corps.</li><li>What happens when we’re constantly seeking acceptance from our parents —&nbsp;and what happens when they don’t say or show their pride in us.</li><li>How a voice (like James Earl Jones or the voice of God) spoke to him and told him everything was going to change.</li><li>What led Mike and his father to set off on their fateful journey.&nbsp;</li><li>And so much more!</li></ul><br/><p>So, if you want to get the most from

I was nine at the time, and my little brother was six.</p><p>And probably the most important part of this story is seeing how my mom responded to this incredible tragedy.</p><p>I watched my mom battle to keep our family together while she healed from the wounds of losing her spouse.</p><p>She raised my brother and I, put food on the table, and stepped up as a provider in every way.</p><p>So, as you can probably imagine, I have the deepest respect for moms and particularly my mom.&nbsp;</p><p>I would never be where I am today without her love, strength, and guidance.&nbsp;</p><p>So that's why Mother's Day is always so special and important to me because my mom and her love is the basis of all the success and all the amazing things I’ve done.</p><p>But this Mother's Day is even more special for me because six weeks ago, my wife Paige gave birth to our firstborn daughter, Brooke Sage.</p><p>Seeing the incredible gift of a mother's body bringing life into this world, the amazing dependency of a newborn baby on a mom, and the way Brooke and Paige have bonded has been the most special experience of my life.&nbsp;</p><p>So I have even more appreciation of motherhood this Mother's Day.&nbsp;</p><p>And that's why I'm so fired up to share this podcast and a series of amazing and powerful quotes.&nbsp;</p><h2>18 Quotes for Mother’s Day</h2><p>“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” - George Washington</p><p>“There is nothing as sincere as a mother’s kiss.” - Saleem Sharma</p><p>“My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.” - Pablo Picasso</p><p>“You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool mom.”</p><p>“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” - Honore de Balzac</p><p>“Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.” - Erich Fromm</p><p>“The mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom.” - Henry Ward Beecher</p><p>“A mother is she who can take the place of all others … but whose place no one else can take.”&nbsp;</p><p>“The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.”&nbsp;</p><p>“My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.” - Michael Jordan</p><p>“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had.” - Linda Wooten</p><p>“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air traffic controllers with ease.”</p><p>“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.” - Tenneva Jordan</p><p>“When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it’s a mere formality.

I was nine at the time, and my little brother was six.</p><p>And probably the most important part of this story is seeing how my mom responded to this incredible tragedy.</p><p>I watched my mom battle to keep our family together while she healed from the wounds of losing her spouse.</p><p>She raised my brother and I, put food on the table, and stepped up as a provider in every way.</p><p>So, as you can probably imagine, I have the deepest respect for moms and particularly my mom.&nbsp;</p><p>I would never be where I am today without her love, strength, and guidance.&nbsp;</p><p>So that's why Mother's Day is always so special and important to me because my mom and her love is the basis of all the success and all the amazing things I’ve done.</p><p>But this Mother's Day is even more special for me because six weeks ago, my wife Paige gave birth to our firstborn daughter, Brooke Sage.</p><p>Seeing the incredible gift of a mother's body bringing life into this world, the amazing dependency of a newborn baby on a mom, and the way Brooke and Paige have bonded has been the most special experience of my life.&nbsp;</p><p>So I have even more appreciation of motherhood this Mother's Day.&nbsp;</p><p>And that's why I'm so fired up to share this podcast and a series of amazing and powerful quotes.&nbsp;</p><h2>18 Quotes for Mother’s Day</h2><p>“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” - George Washington</p><p>“There is nothing as sincere as a mother’s kiss.” - Saleem Sharma</p><p>“My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.” - Pablo Picasso</p><p>“You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool mom.”</p><p>“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” - Honore de Balzac</p><p>“Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.” - Erich Fromm</p><p>“The mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom.” - Henry Ward Beecher</p><p>“A mother is she who can take the place of all others … but whose place no one else can take.”&nbsp;</p><p>“The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.”&nbsp;</p><p>“My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.” - Michael Jordan</p><p>“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had.” - Linda Wooten</p><p>“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air traffic controllers with ease.”</p><p>“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.” - Tenneva Jordan</p><p>“When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it’s a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.”</p><p>“A grandmother is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend.”</p><p>“The best aunts aren’t substitute parents, they’re co-conspirators.” - Daryl Gregory</p><p>“Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.” - Oprah Winfrey</p><p>“I am sure that if the mothers of all nations could meet, there would be no more wars.” - EM Forrester</p><p>On behalf of our entire Fit Mother Project and Fit Father Project team, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers, and amazing women whose love has raised a generation.</p><p>Our entire civilization depends on you.</p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://www.fitmotherproject.com/happy-mothers-day-]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">000209a8-bf14-4148-84eb-a51b1c8b4114</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/107e9ba0-82a7-4ba6-bd73-d957b59efd76/AuiZTMlz1WaksShyP7erFzXG.jpg"/><pubDate>Sun, 08 May 2022 05:00:00 -0700</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/9836ed74-ea6f-45ca-b612-a72484498f15/v1-MD22-FMP.mp3" length="15973901" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>13:19</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>bonus</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Dr. A Talks - Fasting, Longevity, and Nutrition: A Special Conversation with Dr. Joseph Antoun of L-Nutra</title><itunes:title>Dr. A Talks - Fasting, Longevity, and Nutrition: A Special Conversation with Dr. Joseph Antoun of L-Nutra</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>Episode 25 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about fasting, longevity, and nutrition, and how all three tie together and enhance each other.</p><p>In this episode, you’ll meet Dr. Joseph Antoun, the CEO and Chairman of the Board of <a href="https://l-nutra.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">L-Nutra</a>.</p><p>Dr. Antoun is a fasting expert and the creator of <a href="https://prolonfast.com/?rfsn=6489485.4b42327&amp;utm_source=refersion&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=6489485.4b42327" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ProLon</a>, a fasting nutrition program that actually lets you eat!&nbsp;</p><p>The program gives you essential nutrients but doesn't activate your body's food sensing system.</p><p>It’s based on over 20 years of scientific research funded by such institutions as the National Institutes of Health.</p><p>You are essentially fasting with food!</p><p>We also discuss Dr. Valter Longo's book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Longevity-Diet-Disease-Optimize-Weight/dp/0525534091?crid=1YJGB4HDJ0PK7&amp;keywords=valter+longo+book&amp;qid=1648231760&amp;sprefix=valter+longo+book,aps,102&amp;sr=8-2&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=fitfa0a-20&amp;linkId=f52f0964b48846972dc0f258600bf742&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"The Longevity Diet: Slow Aging, Fight Disease, Optimize Weight"</a> and the ins and outs of fasting, longevity, and nutrition.</p><p>It’s an amazing, in-depth conversation you won't want to miss!</p><p>In this episode you’ll learn:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Intermittent fasting and what that actually means.&nbsp;</li><li>Daily time-restricted eating.</li><li>The metabolic changes that happen when you do longer fasts.</li><li>How to maximize and complete longer fasts.</li><li>How human bodies were built to fast.</li><li>How to maximize your longevity and health.</li><li>And so much more!</li></ul><br/><p>So, if you want to get the most from your health and fitness efforts, listen to this episode on fasting, longevity, and nutrition, take some notes, and check out <a href="https://store.fitmotherproject.com/collections/programs/products/fit-mother-30x" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FM30X</a>!</p><h2 class="ql-align-center"><em>Check out ProLon </em><a href="https://prolonfast.com/?rfsn=6489485.4b42327&amp;utm_source=refersion&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=6489485.4b42327" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>, and Dr. Valter Longo's book "The Longevity Diet: Slow Aging, Fight Disease, Optimize Weight" </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Longevity-Diet-Disease-Optimize-Weight/dp/0525534091?crid=1YJGB4HDJ0PK7&amp;keywords=valter+longo+book&amp;qid=1648231760&amp;sprefix=valter+longo+book,aps,102&amp;sr=8-2&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=fitfa0a-20&amp;linkId=f52f0964b48846972dc0f258600bf742&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>!</em></h2><h2>What is FM30X?</h2><p>FM30X is a simple, sustainable, and specific weight loss program that is designed especially for busy women over 40.
