In this episode, we dive into why muscle becomes the foundation of your health after 35. I break down how strength training impacts your hormones, metabolism, blood sugar, bone density, cognitive health, and even your long-term independence. You’ll learn why muscle is far more than “looking toned,” how it protects you from aging, and why it’s never too late to start.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to train for longevity .. not just for looks.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever stepped on the scale after a night out and thought, “Did I just gain five pounds overnight?” We’re unpacking what’s actually happening in your body, why the scale goes up (hint: it’s not fat), and how to stop falling into the guilt-restrict-repeat cycle. I’m breaking down the truth about food labels, water retention, and why punishing yourself the next day only makes things worse. You’ll learn what to do instead — how to eat, move, and reset without the drama. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the all-or-nothing mindset, this one’s going to help you break out of it for good.   Apply for coaching with me https://coach.vigorfit.ca/application   FREE MASTERCLASS - “Why your diet is NOT working and how to RESET your metabolism https://youtu.be/4-pp3cQ6n1Y   FREE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT https://link.vigorfit.ca/widget/form/7BOTM8srS3LIbqNMFO4J  Get my FREE "FOOD FREEDOM" GUIDE  coach.vigorfit.ca/bio CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martina_fit_yyc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martina.raskova.1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@martina_fit_yyc/videos TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@martina_fit_yyc__?_t= 8oK2XKR4bfp&_r=1 📲 Tag me @martina_fit_yyc if this hit home!

In this episode, we’re talking all things metabolism — what it actually is, what slows it down, and what helps it work better as you get older. I’m explaining why so many women feel stuck even when they’re doing “everything right,” and how things like muscle, food, stress, sleep, and daily movement all play a role. You’ll learn what really happens during years of dieting and why your body might be holding onto weight — not because it’s broken, but because it’s protecting you. I’ll walk you through what changes in your 40s and 50s and what to do about it, especially if you’re in perimenopause or menopause. If you’ve ever felt confused about why your results have stalled, this episode is going to give you clarity and direction.   Apply for coaching with me https://coach.vigorfit.ca/application   FREE MASTERCLASS - “Why your diet is NOT working and how to RESET your metabolism https://youtu.be/4-pp3cQ6n1Y   FREE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT https://link.vigorfit.ca/widget/form/7BOTM8srS3LIbqNMFO4J  Get my FREE "FOOD FREEDOM" GUIDE  coach.vigorfit.ca/bio CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martina_fit_yyc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martina.raskova.1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@martina_fit_yyc/videos TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@martina_fit_yyc__?_t= 8oK2XKR4bfp&_r=1 📲 Tag me @martina_fit_yyc if this hit home!

In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise around carbs and supplements..two areas where so many women are confused, especially in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. You’ll learn why carbs are actually essential for energy, fat loss, and hormone balance, and how to make smarter choices without cutting them out. We also talk about the four supplements that actually make a difference for women in different life stages (hint: it’s not detox teas or fat burners).    Apply for coaching with me https://coach.vigorfit.ca/application   FREE MASTERCLASS - “Why your diet is NOT working and how to RESET your metabolism https://youtu.be/4-pp3cQ6n1Y   FREE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT https://link.vigorfit.ca/widget/form/7BOTM8srS3LIbqNMFO4J  Get my FREE "FOOD FREEDOM" GUIDE  coach.vigorfit.ca/bio CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martina_fit_yyc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martina.raskova.1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@martina_fit_yyc/videos TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@martina_fit_yyc__?_t= 8oK2XKR4bfp&_r=1 📲 Tag me @martina_fit_yyc if this hit home!

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood concepts in the fitness world — reverse dieting. It’s the idea that eating more can actually help you lose fat, not gain it. Sounds wild, but if you’ve been stuck eating next to nothing and seeing zero results, this is exactly what you need to hear. I’ll explain why your metabolism adapts when you diet too long, how to rebuild it with food and strength training, what to expect as you increase calories, and why this process is the real key to sustainable fat loss — no starvation, no endless cardio, just smarter strategy.   Apply for coaching with me https://coach.vigorfit.ca/application   FREE MASTERCLASS - “Why your diet is NOT working and how to RESET your metabolism https://youtu.be/4-pp3cQ6n1Y   FREE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT https://link.vigorfit.ca/widget/form/7BOTM8srS3LIbqNMFO4J  Get my FREE "FOOD FREEDOM" GUIDE  coach.vigorfit.ca/bio CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martina_fit_yyc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martina.raskova.1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@martina_fit_yyc/videos TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@martina_fit_yyc__?_t= 8oK2XKR4bfp&_r=1 📲 Tag me @martina_fit_yyc if this hit home!

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked fat-loss hacks that has nothing to do with workouts or diets — it’s about what you do the rest of the day when you’re not in the gym. I’m talking about NEAT, the movement you do without realizing it that can make or break your results. You’ll learn how small daily actions like walking more, fidgeting, or even cleaning your house can burn hundreds of extra calories, why fat loss stalls when your movement drops, and how to use this simple strategy to finally break through plateaus — no extra workouts required.   Apply for coaching with me https://coach.vigorfit.ca/application   FREE MASTERCLASS - “Why your diet is NOT working and how to RESET your metabolism https://youtu.be/4-pp3cQ6n1Y   FREE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT https://link.vigorfit.ca/widget/form/7BOTM8srS3LIbqNMFO4J  Get my FREE "FOOD FREEDOM" GUIDE  coach.vigorfit.ca/bio CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martina_fit_yyc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martina.raskova.1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@martina_fit_yyc/videos TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@martina_fit_yyc__?_t= 8oK2XKR4bfp&_r=1 📲 Tag me @martina_fit_yyc if this hit home!

You might think eating less is the key to losing weight, but sometimes the real reason you’re stuck is because you’re not eating enough. In this episode, we talk about what happens when your body’s running on empty — low energy, stalled progress, constant cravings, and feeling moody or flat for no reason. I’ll walk you through how to spot the signs that you actually need more food, how to fuel better without gaining weight, and why eating enough is one of the most powerful things you can do for your metabolism, hormones, and long-term fat loss.   Apply for coaching with me https://coach.vigorfit.ca/application   FREE MASTERCLASS - “Why your diet is NOT working and how to RESET your metabolism https://youtu.be/4-pp3cQ6n1Y   FREE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT https://link.vigorfit.ca/widget/form/7BOTM8srS3LIbqNMFO4J  Get my FREE "FOOD FREEDOM" GUIDE  coach.vigorfit.ca/bio CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martina_fit_yyc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martina.raskova.1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@martina_fit_yyc/videos TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@martina_fit_yyc__?_t= 8oK2XKR4bfp&_r=1 📲 Tag me @martina_fit_yyc if this hit home!  

Cutting carbs can actually raise your cortisol and make fat loss harder, especially after 35. It slows your thyroid, tanks your sleep, raises cravings, and can even lead to muscle loss and blood sugar crashes. Most women end up eating less, doing more cardio, and feeling stuck — not because they’re doing it wrong, but because their body’s stressed out. Instead of fearing carbs, you need to fuel your metabolism, lift weights, balance your meals, and work with your hormones — not against them.   Apply for coaching with me https://coach.vigorfit.ca/application   FREE MASTERCLASS - “Why your diet is NOT working and how to RESET your metabolism https://youtu.be/4-pp3cQ6n1Y   FREE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT https://link.vigorfit.ca/widget/form/7BOTM8srS3LIbqNMFO4J  Get my FREE "FOOD FREEDOM" GUIDE  coach.vigorfit.ca/bio CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martina_fit_yyc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martina.raskova.1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@martina_fit_yyc/videos TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@martina_fit_yyc__?_t= 8oK2XKR4bfp&_r=1 📲 Tag me @martina_fit_yyc if this hit home!

We’ll cover how low energy, poor sleep, constant hunger, mood swings, and stalled progress are all signals your body needs more fuel, not less.
