  • 194. Why Protein Isn’t Enough: The Truth About ALL of Your Macros + Why They Matter
    One of my all-time favorite things to talk about? PROTEIN!It’s no secret that most people don’t eat enough of it - it takes more intention and planning, and isn’t something most people are snacking on.While protein is essential and gets a LOT of hype these days, it’s not the whole story when it comes to your nutrition. Carbs and fats matter, too!It’s super common to see women crushing their protein goals and workouts, but completely ignoring carbs and fats. Honestly, you NEED all 3 macronutrients (proteins, fats, AND carbs). When all 3 macros are dialed in, everything clicks. I’ve experienced it on my own journey, and it’s freaking amazing! If you’ve been feeling stuck, or like your body isn’t reflecting all the hard work you’re putting in, it’s time to check in on your carbs and fats. Don’t fall into the trap of just doing “more” - fueling your body correctly can truly change the game + bring you sustainable results on your fitness journey!In this episode, we cover:Why you’re crushing protein & workouts, but missing the mark with carbs & fatsWhy protein gets ALL the hype + why it mattersWhy carbs are NOT the enemy + why you need themWhy fats are essential for your health and resultsWhat happens when you dial in ALL 3 macrosWhy fueling your body matters more than just “doing more”Links/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

  • 193. Unf*ck the Middle: Why You’re Not “Stuck” - You’re in Maintenance
    Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention in the fitness world: MAINTENANCE. Nope…It’s not sexy, or flashy, and it’s definitely not talked about enough.But… if you're serious about building a sustainable, strong, AND energized body? It’s a phase you need to understand and embrace!Maintenance is not a “break”. You’re still training with intention, intensity, and you’re pushing for progress (just in a different way). You CAN still lose fat and build muscle while in maintenance - it will be slower progress, but you’re no longer chasing constant fat loss or being ruled by the scale (thanks to body recomp)!I’ve experienced plenty of my own setbacks this year (it’s been a bit of a shitshow honestly), BUT, I’ve still been consistent with my simple + powerful habits that keep me moving forward!Whether you’re in a season that feels tough, or you’re ready to stop the ridiculous yo-yo diets and start OWNING your strength, I promise - you can still navigate the “middle” with confidence!In this episode, we cover:Quick health + personal updateWhy summer is the perfect season for maintenanceHow body recomp works + why maintenance calories can still change your body compositionViewing your workouts as a “power season” vs. an “off season”The mental struggle of “the middle” + why maintenance can feel hard even when it’s rightHow to reframe progress beyond the scaleThe all-or-nothing trap many fitness pros fall intoHow to know if you’re in a solid maintenance zone for YOUR bodyKey reminders to keep you grounded during your maintenance phaseLinks/Resources:Listen to The Sol Fit PodcastEp. 192 | THIS Is the Whole Point of Your Fitness JourneyEp. 183 | How Sprinting Can Boost Your Fitness Routine (Even When You’re Not a Runner)Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

  • 192. THIS Is the Whole Point of Your Fitness Journey
    Sometimes it’s sooo easy to get caught up in tracking macros, workouts, and step goals, that you forget WHY you started your fitness journey in the first place.Like…the whole POINT of your fitness journey isn’t *just* weight loss, or what you see in the mirror. It’s about feeling GOOD in your body, having the energy to live fully, and building confidence that carries over into every area of life!The idea for this episode came to me after hearing a recent trending IG audio that says, “I forgot this was the whole point,” and WOW - it hit me hard. It reminded me that so many of us start our health journey wanting to lose weight or “tone up”.  But…what we really want is food freedom, more energy, and to just feel strong and happy. If you haven’t in a while (or you never have), I want you to check in on WHY you are doing this. What does fitness actually mean to YOU? Remember - the whole freaking point is to live a strong, joyful, and fulfilling life, friend!In this episode, we cover:Why there’s SO much more behind your weight loss goalsHow to define and get clear on what fitness really means to YOUThe power of staying committed to your journey + how it impacts your loved onesRedefining your goals to create a life that feels joyful, fulfilling & truly alignedLinks/Resources:Ep. 187 | Redefining Fitness on YOUR Terms: What Does It Actually Mean to You?Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

  • 191. Body Dysmorphia: The Struggle No One Talks About + Why It Doesn’t Disappear at Your “Goal Weight”
    A struggle that comes up for pretty much everyone, but isn’t talked about NEARLY enough in this space? Body dysmorphia.Yep, this one hits DEEP, and is so, so real. It shows up in quiet moments, fitting rooms, mirror reflections, and even when you’re crushing your fitness goals. I’ve felt it, my clients feel it, and I KNOW you do too. Most of us are walking around with some version of it, whether we say it out loud or not.This episode was sparked by a conversation with my client Julie (who’s been KILLIN’ IT), and a reel that broke me wide open (the creator is linked below). I realized how often we think we’ll feel “better” when we reach our goal, but even then, we still pick ourselves apart. Even after we have incredible, life-changing results on our fitness journeys, we’re STILL our biggest critics. Body dysmorphia doesn’t *magically* go away, just because you fit into a smaller pair of jeans.If you’ve ever reached a goal, only to find new insecurities waiting for you, this episode is for you. You’re not broken, and you’re definitely NOT alone!!In this episode, we cover:Why unf*cking your fitness goes way beyond macros & workoutsHow social media feeds body image struggles Julie’s powerful transformation + why she’s still her own worst criticWhy always wanting to “do more” in fitness, parenting, or life isn’t a bad thingWhy body dysmorphia can actually get worse, the fitter you getPractical ways to combat body dysmorphia on your journeyUnderstanding that reaching your “goal body” isn’t the finish line, because you’ve got to maintain itWhy compliments are rare (especially IRL) + why you don’t need themThe real flex of building self-confidence, self-love, and owning your imperfectionsLinks/Resources:Follow @mattyq.fitness on InstagramJoin IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

  • 190. Building Strength: Lifting Heavy in a Way That Works for YOU
    If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how much weight you should be lifting, or comparing your numbers to someone else’s, you’re NOT alone.This is something I get asked about pretty often! Honestly…the obsession with numbers can completely derail the whole point of your workout.Here’s the truth: lifting heavy is relative. There’s no magic number that determines whether you’re doing it “right.” What matters is your EFFORT! Lifting heavy means lifting a weight that challenges you - based on your strength, experience, and energy level that day. It’s about showing up with intensity, and moving with intention!Progressive overload is a helpful concept, but…it’s also kind of gotten out of hand. You don’t always need to be adding weight to your lifts every.single.week. Progress looks sooo different for everyone!This episode is your permission slip to let go of the noise, stop overthinking it, and just start with what actually works for YOU on your fitness journey!!In this episode, we cover:Why it’s time to stop obsessing over the numbers & start focusing on showing up with intentionWhat “lifting heavy” really means + why consistent muscle tension is the goalThe power of experimenting and adjusting as you goHow embracing imperfection can lead to more sustainable strength gainsLinks/Resources:Ep. 185 | Moving Vs.
