EP167: Advanced Nutrition Protocols: When & How to Use Them

In this deep-dive solo episode, Christina breaks down different nutrition strategies coaches often use for weight loss. From carb cycling to refeed days, reverse dieting, and treat meals. Tune in to learn how each one works, when (or if) they’re actually needed, and why jumping into these before you've mastered the basics does a LOT more harm than good.

If you’ve ever felt tempted to “try something new” with your diet, this episode unpacks the pros and cons of each strategy and explains why nutrition is highly context dependent. Christina breaks down the why behind each approach—so you (and your coach) can feel more confident applying the right tools at the right time.

Topics Discussed:

What "advanced nutrition protocols" actually are and why they're not ideal for everyone
How to know when you're ready for more “advanced” strategies (and when you're not)
Why slow & simple TYPICALLY works better than any complex strategy
What actually matters more — when you eat or what you eat?
The biggest mistake people make with treat meals, reverse diets, and refeeds
What actually crashes your metabolism (it's probably not what you think)
Why the first 16–32 weeks with a coach are just the foundation
Treat meals vs. cheat meals: the psychological risks and benefits
Refeed days vs. refeed meals: when to use them and how they differ
Diet breaks vs. reverse diets: what makes each one more or less effective

Plus: Christina’s take on meal timing, macro splits, digestion, gut health, and why “just hit your macros” is usually not good enough.
