In this episode, Emma and Aimee break down everything you need to know about protein — without the confusion. From muscle building and fat loss to hormones, aging, and everyday health, we explore why protein is so important and whether most people are actually getting enough.We unpack common myths (do you really need protein shakes?), talk through the best animal and plant-based sources, and explain how protein needs change depending on your goals and lifestyle. Whether you’re training hard, trying to feel fuller for longer, or just want to understand nutrition better, this episode gives you practical, evidence-based advice you can apply straight away.If protein has ever felt overhyped or overwhelming, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters.
FOOD LABELS
When you are looking at protein to calorie ratios this is what you need to do - pop a 0 on the end of the protein amount, if the calories are higher than this, it is not the best option to pick. However, if the calories are the same or less then that is fab!I.e -
Raspberry and cream protein barProtein 37g + 0 = 370gCalories = 370kcalsGOOD!
Fage yogurtProtein 18g + 0 = 180gCalories = 90kcalsEVEN BETTER!

Aimee and Emma are getting real about something so many women have been conditioned to do: shrink themselves.In this episode, they unpack what it means to “shrink” , not just physically, but emotionally, professionally, and socially — and why so many women are taught to take up less space to feel more acceptable. From downplaying achievements to crash dieting in the name of “discipline,” they explore the deeper roots of this pressure and how it shows up in everyday life.
They also dive into the science behind shrinking your body too quickly. Rapid weight loss isn’t just a willpower flex — it can disrupt hormones, impact your menstrual cycle, slow metabolism, elevate stress levels, and interfere with essential body functions. Your body isn’t designed to be shocked into submission. It’s designed to feel safe, nourished, and supported.
This conversation is about reclaiming space — in your body, your voice, and your ambition. It’s about choosing strength over smallness and long-term health over quick fixes.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be less, this episode is your reminder: you were never meant to shrink.

If guilt and shame really worked for weight loss, they would have worked by now.
In this episode, Emma and Aimee explore why beating yourself up keeps you stuck, not motivated — and how shame quietly sabotages progress. They discuss the emotional and physiological impact of dieting guilt, how it drives all-or-nothing thinking, and why kindness is far more effective than control.
You’ll learn practical tools to step out of the guilt-shame cycle, rebuild trust with your body, and create habits that actually last. This is a compassionate, empowering conversation for anyone who’s tired of starting over and ready to move forward differently.
