  • You Don’t Have a Fat Loss Problem, You Have a Maintenance Problem | Ep 30
    Apr 29 2026

    What’s the difference between someone who keeps making progress… and someone who stays stuck?
    It often comes down to knowing when to push harder, and when to pull back.
    In this episode, Michelle West and Coach Megan break down one of the most misunderstood parts of fat loss and body recomposition: strategic intensity.
    They dive into:
    • Why leaner people actually have to push harder to lose fat
    • The “toothpaste bottle” analogy that explains fat loss perfectly
    • Why stress and sleep can completely stall your progress
    • When training more is actually hurting your results
    • The difference between fat loss goals vs performance goals
    • Why most people don’t have a fat loss problem, they have a maintenance problem

  • From Heartbreak to Hotel Gym Gains | Ep 29
    Apr 15 2026

    What happens when your marriage ends… your career shifts… and you finally decide to choose yourself?

    In this powerful client spotlight episode, Chelsea Meredith, wardrobe supervisor for the Michael Jackson broadway tour, shares how she rebuilt her confidence, body, and mindset while traveling full-time on tour.


    From navigating divorce…

    To losing 20+ pounds…

    To building muscle in hotel gyms…

    To learning that food is a tool, not the enemy…

    This is a real conversation about self-trust, discipline, balance, and what happens when you stop being mean to yourself.


    This isn’t just about fat loss.

    It’s about becoming someone you’re proud of.

    Apr 1 2026

    What do fitness coaches actually do differently?
    In this raw, unscripted episode, Michelle and Coach Emily break down the habits they don’t do, and why that matters more than what they do.
    From:
    Not drinking calories
    Alcohol and balance
    Why discipline isn’t punishment
    The truth about “tomorrow”
    Why most people give up (and the 20% don’t)
    Fasted training myths
    Breaking the all-or-nothing mindset
    This episode is about ownership.
    No blame. No excuses. No starting over every Monday.
    Just real conversations about what it actually takes to build a body and a mindset you’re proud of.
    If you’ve ever said “I’ll start tomorrow,” this one’s for you.
