Eat the F*cking Food

Stop dieting. Stop apologizing for hunger. Start eating like a woman who plans to be here for a long time. Eat the F*cking Food is a nutrition and mindset podcast for women who are exhausted by diet culture and confused by conflicting nutrition advice. If you’ve tried low carb, no carb, calorie counting, points, powders, or “starting over on Monday” and still feel tired, bloated, hormonal, or stuck, this show is for you. This podcast helps women understand how to eat enough, especially in midlife, by breaking down nutrition, metabolism, and hormones in a way that actually makes sense. We talk about why 1200 calories is never the answer, how chronic under eating impacts hormone health, gut health, digestion, sleep, and energy, and how to build a balanced plate without fear or food rules. Each week, we cover topics like diet myths, popular diets explained, intuitive eating foundations, blood work and lab results, bloating and gut health, GLP-1 medications and lifestyle support, and how to heal your relationship with food after years of dieting. You’ll hear from nutrition coaches, strength coaches, hormone experts, and women who believe strong is better than skinny, prioritize good health, and know that nourishment is not something you earn. This isn’t about weight loss at any cost. It’s about metabolic health, energy, hormone balance, and freedom around food. Subscribe for honest conversations about women’s nutrition, body image, hormone health, and learning how to actually eat. Your body isn’t broken. It’s underfed.

  031: Why Undereating Is Sabotaging Your Midlife Body | Kylie Larson & Kristin Collins

  Aug 18, 202637 min

  Your lowest weight is not automatically your healthiest weight, and if you got the most compliments during the season of your life you now recognize as your worst, this episode explains exactly why. If you have ever chased a smaller number on the scale only to end up exhausted, not sleeping, and dealing with new perimenopausal symptoms, you are not imagining it. Undereating does not just stall your results, it can wreck your digestion, your sleep, and your hormones, and most women do not connect the dots until years later. Kristin Collins, nutrition and body composition coach and host of Eat the F*cking Food, sits down with Kylie Larson, a nutrition, strength, and mindset coach for midlife women navigating perimenopause without dieting themselves into worse symptoms. Kylie breaks down the real math behind maintenance calories, including her own jump from 1,600 calories a day to 2,250 before her metabolism, sleep, and body composition actually improved, and why progressive overload strength training builds muscle in ways group fitness classes cannot. She also introduces her six-week program, Lift Beyond Lean, where women learn to eat and train for change that lasts. You will walk away knowing the difference between group fitness for fun and strength training for results, why a rising scale number can mean you are getting healthier, and how to find your own maintenance calories instead of guessing with an app. If you have been falling apart while everyone keeps telling you how great you look, press play. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why your lowest weight is not automatically your healthiest weight, and how compliments during your hardest season can keep you chasing a body that was never sustainable to begin with. Why undereating is quietly common in midlife women, and how living on 1,500 calories a day can stall your results instead of speeding them up. How to find your maintenance calories, and why increasing intake from 1,600 to 2,250 calories can improve your metabolism, sleep, and body composition over time. Why lifting weights does not make you bulky, and what actually happens to your body when you build real muscle instead of fearing the number on the scale. The real difference between group fitness and progressive overload strength training, and why one is for fun while the other is for measurable results. Why an app or a chatbot cannot replace a coach, and what human factors like stress, sleep, and emotional eating a calculator will never account for. Why commenting on another woman's weight or body is never as harmless as it sounds, and what those compliments are actually reinforcing. We talk about: 00:00 Why we should not comment on other women's bodies 02:00 Your lowest weight is not your healthiest weight 04:00 What undereating actually looked like in her own body 08:00 Why perimenopausal women make symptoms worse by restricting 09:00 The scale number versus how your life actually feels 16:00 Her first build phase and carrying weight differently at midlife 18:30 How long does it really take to change your body 20:30 Why you cannot diet your way into someone else's physique 24:00 Why nutrition coaching is an investment worth making 27:30 Group fitness versus progressive overload strength training 32:00 How to protect your workout time on a busy day Connect with Kylie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekylielarson Lift Beyond Lean Waitlist: https://www.theelementalcoaching.com/LBL_Waitlist Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekylielarson Website: https://www.theelementalcoaching.com/ Connect with me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinrcollins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kristin.collins Website: https://kristincollinshealthcoaching.com/ #MidlifeNutrition #AntiDiet #AntiDietCulture #WomenOver40 #WomenOver50 #PerimenopauseNutrition #MaintenanceCalories #StrengthTrainingForWomen #ProgressiveOverload #UndereatingAwareness #NutritionCoaching #WomensHealth #DietCulture #BodyImage #MidlifeWomen #WomenWhoLift #HormoneHealth #NoMoreDieting #BodyComments #EatTheFuckingFood

  030: Are Carbs Bad for Menopause? The Truth for Midlife Women | Kristin Collins

  Aug 11, 202622 min

  Are carbs bad for menopause? Not even close. If you have spent years cutting carbohydrates to chase a smaller number on the scale, this episode explains why that restriction has been working against you, not for you. Carbohydrates are your body's preferred source of energy, and going without enough of them can leave you exhausted, hangry, and unable to sleep through the night. That drop on the scale after cutting carbs is mostly water weight, not fat, and the crash that follows in your energy, mood, and digestion is real. Kristin Collins, a certified nutrition coach and menopause coaching specialist, breaks down exactly why midlife women need carbohydrates now more than ever, not fewer of them. She explains how carbs protect your muscle mass by giving your body glucose to burn instead of pulling energy from muscle, how low carb eating raises cortisol and can lower thyroid function, and how carbohydrates support progesterone during the menopause transition. You will also learn the simple pairing trick, carbs with protein or fat, that keeps blood sugar steady and energy consistent all day. If you are ready to stop fearing food and start building a plate that actually works, this episode is your permission slip to eat the fucking food. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why carbohydrates are your body's preferred source of energy, and how eating too few carbs leads to afternoon energy crashes, poor sleep, and constant hunger. How carbohydrates protect your muscle mass in midlife by giving your body glucose to burn instead of pulling energy from the muscle you are trying to build. Why low carb diets raise cortisol and can lower thyroid function, since women are already far more likely than men to develop hypothyroidism. How eating enough carbohydrates supports progesterone during perimenopause, helping with bloating, fluid retention, and the calming effect progesterone has on your body. Why high fiber, slow digesting carbs like oats and whole grains can improve your sleep by preventing the blood sugar drops that wake you up at 2 or 3 in the morning. Which carb sources to add back to your plate first, including potatoes, rice, oats, fruit, and whole grains, and why pairing them with protein or fat matters. Why the 80/20 approach to eating, not perfection or restriction, is what actually makes a nutrition plan sustainable for midlife women. We talk about: 00:00 Why are midlife women so afraid of carbs 00:35 The low carb era and what it did to your body 02:39 What actually counts as a real carbohydrate 04:25 How carbs help you keep and build muscle 06:22 Are carbs bad for your thyroid 07:37 Why low carb diets raise your cortisol 09:20 How carbs support progesterone in perimenopause 11:00 Why carbs are key to sleeping through the night 13:40 How fiber from carbs protects your heart 15:09 The best carb sources to add back to your plate 17:33 How to pair carbs with protein and fat 20:19 Why 80/20 beats all or nothing eating Connect with me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinrcollins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kristin.collins Website: https://kristincollinshealthcoaching.com/ #CarbsAreNotTheEnemy #MenopauseNutrition #PerimenopauseSupport #MidlifeWomen #AntiDietCulture #NutritionCoach #ThyroidHealth #BloodSugarBalance #MuscleOverMonths #HormoneHealth #SleepAndNutrition #FiberForWomen #EatEnoughToThrive #DoneWithDieting #MaintenanceCalories #WomenOver40 #GutHealthWomen #NoMoreRestriction #EatTheFuckingFood #KristinCollins

  029: You Don't Need to Lose Weight Before You Learn to Maintain It

  Aug 4, 202621 min

  Why women don't start nutrition coaching usually has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with timing myths, body fear, and stories they have told themselves for years. If you have ever said, "I'm too busy right now," or "I need to lose weight before I can maintain it," you are not lazy, you are stuck in a narrative Kristin hears constantly from midlife women. Every month you wait for a quieter season is a month you could have spent learning how to actually feed your body. Kristin Collins, certified nutrition coach and menopause coaching specialist, breaks down the three objections she hears most before women ever start working on their nutrition: not having enough time, needing to lose weight before learning maintenance, and believing their body is simply built to feel this way. She explains why finding your true maintenance calories usually means eating 100 to 400 more calories a day, not less, and why perfectionism, not busyness, is the real thing standing between you and feeling good in your body. This is your permission to stop waiting for a better week to start. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why "I'm too busy" is not actually the barrier keeping you from starting nutrition coaching, and what to ask yourself instead of waiting for a slower season of life. Why you do not need to lose weight before learning your maintenance calories, and why maintenance is often the missing piece women skip entirely. What actually happens when you find your true maintenance calories, including why most women end up eating 100 to 400 more a day, not fewer. Why "this is just how I am" is only half true, and the difference between genetics you cannot change and habits you have never questioned. Why the fear of gaining weight keeps so many women stuck, and what maintenance actually looks like when it is done slowly and correctly. Why there is no such thing as the perfect time to start eating better, and what months of waiting actually costs you. How to stop chasing a scale number before you address how you actually feel, your energy, your sleep, and your everyday joy. We talk about: 00:00 Why so many women hesitate to start nutrition coaching 01:00 Excuse one, I'm too busy right now 03:28 What happens when life falls apart mid program 06:30 The client who waited five years to start 08:02 Why maintenance calories are the missing link 10:12 Do you need to lose weight before learning maintenance 10:47 Excuse two, this is just how I am 14:19 How learning to eat changed how Kristin feels every day 14:41 Excuse three, fear of gaining weight in maintenance 17:33 Why energy and sleep matter more than the scale Connect with me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinrcollins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kristin.collins Website: https://kristincollinshealthcoaching.com/ #NutritionCoaching #MidlifeNutrition #MaintenanceCalories #AntiDietCulture #WomenOver40 #MenopauseNutrition #EatEnough #FoodFreedom #StopDieting #NutritionCoachForWomen #HealthyHabitsMidlife #PerimenopauseNutrition #NoMoreStartingOver #BalancedPlate #WomensHealthCoach #DietCultureRecovery #EatTheFood #MidlifeWellness #NutritionMindset #StopWaitingStart

  028: Why Am I Not Losing Weight? 4 Midlife Diet Mistakes You Are Making

  Jul 28, 202625 min

  Midlife weight loss mistakes usually come down to four sneaky habits, not a lack of willpower. If you have cut calories, skipped meals, and still are not seeing results, your body may be stuck in survival mode instead of fat-loss mode. This snack-sized solo episode breaks down the exact patterns keeping midlife women plateaued, exhausted, and frustrated with the scale. Kristin Collins, certified nutrition coach and menopause coaching specialist, walks through the four mistakes she sees most often in coaching, from undereating and treating weekends as a free-for-all, which is 42 percent of your week, to trading consistency for perfection. She shares how learning her own maintenance calories inside her Game On Nutrition method ended years of yo-yo dieting and helped her build visible muscle after six years of consistent strength training. Give yourself permission to be boring, and watch what changes. In this episode, you’ll discover: Learn why eating too little is one of the most common midlife weight loss mistakes, and how undereating trains your body to store fat instead of releasing it. Find out why the weekend makes up 42 percent of your week, and why treating Friday through Sunday like a free-for-all quietly stalls your progress. Discover why consistency beats perfection every time, and how one small daily habit compounds faster than an intense workout you only do once a month. Understand what maintenance calories actually are and why learning yours is the missing link that makes any weight loss sustainable long term. Hear why building muscle in midlife takes years, not weeks, and how three years of progressive overload finally created visible definition. Get the honest signs you are undereating, including waking up tired, crashing at 3pm, and dealing with worsening perimenopausal symptoms you may be blaming on something else. Learn why giving yourself a full year, not five days, to build new habits is what actually makes lifestyle change stick. We talk about: 00:00 Welcome back and an update on the current cohort 01:44 Why eating too little is a common midlife mistake 03:34 Are you undereating? Signs to check on your plate 07:00 Why weekends make up 42 percent of your week 09:16 Consistency over perfection, the real key to progress 11:47 Learning your maintenance calories the boring way 15:24 Six years of strength training and finally seeing muscle 18:16 Recap of the four biggest nutrition mistakes 19:23 Are one-size-fits-all diet programs failing you 21:29 Why giving your body time changes everything Connect with me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinrcollins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kristin.collins Website: https://kristincollinshealthcoaching.com/ #MidlifeNutrition #AntiDietPodcast #WomensHealthMidlife #EatTheFuckingFood #MaintenanceCalories #MidlifeWeightLoss #StopDieting #PerimenopauseNutrition #ConsistencyOverPerfection #BalancedPlate #NutritionCoach #KristinCollins #GameOnNutrition #WomenOver40 #DietCultureRecovery #StrengthTrainingWomen #UndereatingSymptoms #MidlifeWomen #FoodFreedom #EatTheFckingFood

  026: Is Your Thyroid Actually Normal? The Optimal Truth | Ashley Cruz Arata & Kristin Collins

  Jul 14, 202637 min

  Optimal vs normal thyroid levels is not just a technicality, it is the reason you can have "normal" bloodwork and still feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck in your midlife body. If your hair is thinning, your sleep is wrecked, your weight will not budge, and you are constipated more than you would ever admit out loud, your thyroid and your gut may be the missing piece your last doctor never fully investigated. On this episode of Eat the F*cking Food, Kristin Collins, certified nutrition coach and menopause coaching specialist, sits down with Ashley Cruz Arata, a board certified integrative health practitioner, to break down why a TSH between 0.8 and 6 is technically normal but 1 to 1.5 is where most women actually feel their best. Ashley shares the three day stool testing she uses to catch root cause gut and hormone imbalances, why constipation is one of the most overlooked signs of low thyroid function, and the two limiting beliefs, "I don't have time" and "I'm not ready," that keep women stuck longer than they need to be. Press play and stop settling for normal when optimal is possible. In this episode, you’ll discover: The difference between normal and optimal thyroid lab ranges, including why a TSH of 0.8 to 6 is considered normal but 1 to 1.5 is where most women actually feel their best. Why functional medicine testing goes beyond a basic TSH and T4 panel to look at gut health, nutrient status, and whole body patterns most conventional doctors never test. Why constipation, defined as fewer than one to two complete bowel movements a day, is one of the most overlooked signs of an underactive thyroid. Why Kristin Collins and Ashley Cruz Arata both point to gut health as the piece conventional care skips when women complain of stubborn weight, mood swings, and poor sleep in midlife. Why "I don't have time" and "I'm not ready" are the two limiting beliefs Ashley sees holding women back most, and how to work around both. How daily journaling and scripting in the present tense helped Ashley shift her mindset and health outcomes before she even got her lab results back. We talk about: 00:00 Welcome back and the free maintenance calories masterclass 01:01 Meet Ashley Cruz Arata, board certified health practitioner 02:45 Ashley's burnout, thyroid nodules, and life at Amazon 07:14 What functional medicine really means 09:30 Two questions to ask before choosing a provider 11:41 Why normal thyroid labs are not the same as optimal 17:00 Why your gut controls your entire hormone system 18:44 What counts as a drama free bowel movement 22:40 How to choose the right gut and hormone testing 24:50 Journaling and scripting to change your health story 28:30 The two limiting beliefs holding women back 34:25 Where to find Ashley Cruz Arata and The Reveal Connect with Ashley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleycruzarata/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ashleycruzarata Website: https://ashleycruzarata.com/ Connect with me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinrcollins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kristin.collins Website: https://kristincollinshealthcoaching.com/ #ThyroidHealth #FunctionalMedicine #GutHealth #HormoneBalance #MidlifeWomen #RootCauseHealing #ThyroidLabs #WomensHealthAfter40 #EstrogenDominance #IntegrativeHealth #EatTheFuckingFood #KristinCollins #AshleyCruzArata #HormoneHealth #ThyroidNodules #NormalVsOptimal #GutHormoneConnection #WomensHormones #FunctionalMedicinePractitioner #MenopauseSupport
