Feeling stuck with menopause weight and convinced it’s “just your age”? Think again, my friend!
Lisa thought so too—until she lost 24 pounds at 61…without dieting, without tracking, and yes, while still eating pizza and ice cream.
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with one of my incredible Mindful Weight Loss Academy grads, Lisa, who shares her powerful story of transformation. After decades of dieting (hello, Weight Watchers in the ‘90s 😵💫), she was fed up, frustrated, and ready to feel like herself again.
Spoiler: she found freedom, satisfaction, and food peace—and she’s breaking down exactly how she did it.
If you’ve ever thought, “It’s too late for me,” or felt exhausted by decades of food drama, you have got to hear Lisa’s story. She’s proof that weight loss after 50 & 60 is absolutely DOABLE, without cutting out your favorite foods or spending hours obsessing over every bite.
If you’re ready to believe that weight loss is still possible and doesn’t have to feel like punishment, this episode will light a fire under you. Press play and meet your new post-menopause role model.
xoxo,
Jackie

Ever feel like your metabolism is totally broken? Like, you’re eating super healthy, barely snacking, crushing cardio... but the scale ain’t budging? Let me just say: you are NOT crazy—and you might actually be doing the things that are keeping your metabolism stuck (even though you’re following all the “rules”).
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 common “healthy” habits we all fall for that are secretly slowing your metabolism to a crawl—and exactly what to do to reset your body so you can finally let go of the weight, without obsessing, restricting, or living at the gym.
You don’t have to accept feeling stuck, exhausted, or frustrated. Your body isn’t broken—it just needs new signals. So if you’re ready for results that finally last, tune in to learn what actually works (spoiler: it’s NOT 1200 calories and six days of cardio a week).
Ready to work with your body and stop fighting it? Let’s get that metabolism working for YOU again and watch those pounds drop. Because you deserve to feel amazing!
xoxo,
Jackie

Halloween candy hangover? Been there, felt that sugar coma! If you’ve ever found yourself elbow-deep in Reese’s wrappers and promising you’ll “be good tomorrow,” this episode is your new BFF.
Today I’m keeping it real with 7 super doable, guilt-free tips for a binge-free Halloween—even when all that candy is staring you down! No shame, no “starting over,” just practical mindset shifts and easy hacks to help you enjoy your favorite treats (hello, pumpkin pie and not-so-much candy corn) without going off the rails.
We’ll talk about how to actually choose your favorite candies with intention (not just grab what’s in the bowl), ditch that old “last chance” thinking, and use my game-changing “facts over feels” tool when you eat more than you planned. Plus, I’m giving you my honest strategy for getting leftover candy outta sight (and turning it into something you actually want to eat later).
If you’re ready to enjoy Halloween treats and walk away feeling proud instead of panicked, this episode’s for you. Oh—and I’m sharing all my fave healthy-ish candy brands, too!
Let’s ditch the guilt, enjoy the memories, and remember: candy doesn’t have the power—you do.
xoxo,
Jackie

The holidays are right around the corner (how is that even possible?!), and if your brain is already whispering, “Let’s just start over in January…”—HOLD UP! This episode is your cozy, no-BS pep talk to make weight loss SIMPLE (yep, even with pumpkin pie in the mix).
If you’ve ever freaked out about enjoying a slice (or three) of Costco pumpkin pie, felt guilty after holiday meals, or struggled to stick with your goals when things get busy, you’re so not alone. I’ve totally been there—obsessing, overthinking, and vowing to “get it together” on January 1st. But what if THIS year was different?
In this episode, I’m breaking down my 3 easiest, zero-guilt strategies to lose weight before the New Year—without calorie counting or missing out on your favorite foods:
Plus, I’m sharing the secret sauce for faster results (hint: hello, accountability!). If you want to roll into 2025 feeling proud, not panicked, this episode is your go-to guide.
Grab your pie, press play, and let’s end the year STRONG together.
xoxo,
Jackie

Ever wonder if it’s actually possible to lose weight and keep it off while still living your real, messy life (with Starbucks runs, school drop-offs, birthdays, holidays, and all the chaos?
IT TOTALLY IS—and today’s episode proves it.
In this super inspiring convo, I sit down with my client Dana, who came into the Mindful Weight Loss Academy feeling stuck, skeptical, and totally over calorie counting. She was 40, tired of feeling uncomfortable in her own skin, and not even sure weight loss was possible anymore.
Four months later? She’s down 37 pounds, in maintenance, and rocking a whole new level of confidence WHILE still eating ice cream and showing her daughters what it looks like to take care of yourself.
This episode is packed with real talk, mindset shifts, and proof that yes, sustainable weight loss is 100% possible even in your 40s, even with kids, even when you’ve tried everything.
We’re talking real-life weight loss, mindset shifts, family dynamics, how community and accountability were total game changers, and how Dana finally ditched the old “I’ll just eat everything now and start over later” trap. Plus, she shares her tricks for eating at social events, finding meals everyone (including the kids!) loves, and what made the biggest difference this time around.
If you’re feeling like lasting weight loss is impossible, or you’re scared to try again because nothing works…this one will give you SO much hope. Press play and get inspired to enter your era of doing it for YOU.
xoxo,
Jackie

Ever wish you could go back to day one of your weight loss journey and just yell some sense into yourself? SAME.
In today’s episode, I’m spilling the tea on the 5 things I wish I knew before I lost 65 pounds (and kept it off for FIFTEEN years) — plus 5 pieces of diet culture “advice” I’d tell you to run far, far away from!
If you’ve ever felt like tracking every bite, eating 1200 calories, or doing an hour of cardio every day is the way to “success” (spoiler: IT’S NOT), this episode is your permission slip to do things differently. We’re totally breaking down why coming back after a setback matters more than perfection, why you need to do what works for YOUR body (not what TikTok says), and how to build a sustainable routine that doesn’t make you want to scream into a salad.
Let’s make 2026 the year you finally don’t have to “start over” in January, yeah? Ready to ditch the noise and actually lose weight in a way that sticks? This episode is your blueprint.

Jackie

Ever feel like life is throwing every curveball your way and totally knocking you off your weight loss journey? Oh trust me, I GET IT. But what if those obstacles aren’t actually roadblocks but legit detours nudging you towards your next big breakthrough?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of the most powerful mindset shifts I teach inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy—how to turn your setbacks into stepping stones. We’re talking about ditching the “why me?” mindset, taking back your power, and seeing obstacles as the exact turning points that lead to growth, healing, and real transformation.
I’ll get personal about my own story: like losing a pregnancy, struggling with infertility, and how those twists actually led me to some of my biggest wins (hello, Ezra!). Plus, I’m breaking down how this mindset shift can change your journey…whether you're stuck in a plateau, dealing with stress eating, or just feeling off track.
If you keep feeling stuck, stalled, or straight-up frustrated with your progress, this episode is your must-listen. We’ll talk reframes, pivots, curiosity over control, and how to rewrite your own freaking story. The obstacle you’re facing right now? It just might be the catalyst for your next breakthrough.
Remember: you’re NOT the victim of your journey—you’re the author of your comeback.
Ready for a new chapter? Press play and let’s turn those detours into your turning point.

Jackie

Okay, let’s be honest—no one told us that one day we’d be googling things like “what the hell is perimenopause?” or “why do I want to eat my weight in Nutella at 3 a.m.?”
If you’ve noticed your body changing in your 30s, 40s, or beyond (hi, night sweats, random joint pain, and mood swings for days), THIS is the episode you needed yesterday. I brought back the amazing Kim Schlag—nutrition coach, personal trainer, and total menopause truth-teller—to break down what really happens when hormones start doing their wild thing (spoiler: it’s not just about weight gain!).
Kim gets real about her own hot flash horror stories (can you say changing clothes 12 times a night?!), the tools that help, and why this can actually be the best stage of your life (seriously). This episode is packed with truth bombs, real talk, and science-backed strategies to help you stop starting over.
If you’ve ever felt lost in the “what now?!” maze of midlife, pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or a cold towel 😉), and press play!

Ever wonder what you’ll be like at 90? (Personally, I plan to be a cute grandma in a hip little outfit, still dancing at weddings and holding babies.) If you’re here for a long, healthy, joyful life (not just a smaller body), this episode is for you.
Today, I’m getting super real and opening up about my Grammy Z’s passing, the life lessons she handed me, and how I want to live (and age gracefully!) with intention. We’re skipping the step-by-step meal plans and routines. This one’s a heart-to-heart: what actually matters when you zoom out and look at the big picture.
You’ll hear how she lived a full 90 years (hint: it wasn’t from dieting), and how I’m rethinking everything from self-care to legacy. If you’re taking care of aging parents, grieving a loved one, or just feeling like you’ve put yourself last for too long…this episode is your wake-up call.
This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about your life and how you want to live it, gracefully.
xoxo,
Jackie

Ever feel like you’ve tried everything to lose weight—Weight Watchers, willpower, the “just don’t buy snacks” approach, and still end up bingeing on pretzels at 10 p.m. wondering what’s wrong with you? So did Rebecca.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca, a busy single mom of two from LA and a total success story from Mindful Weight Loss Academy (although let’s be real…once a client, always a client ).
We’re talking about the moment she hit diet rock bottom, the inner tug-of-war between “I can’t spend money on myself” and “I’m so over this struggle,” and how she finally said YES to herself...after almost walking away.
(Spoiler: she said NO after our first call—and then came back a month later ready to change her life.)
Rebecca shares her raw and honest journey: from years of yo-yo dieting and late-night binges, to finally finding food freedom through mindfulness and intention. We’re talking about the mindset shift that made food stop controlling her, how she went from snack-obsessed to truly satisfied, and the life-changing non-scale victories she’s celebrated—like having energy for her kids, finally loving her body, and ditching diet culture for good.
Real talk: if you’re tired of feeling out of control around food, obsessed with your weight, or convinced you’re just “bad” at healthy eating, you need this episode in your life. Rebecca proves there’s a better way—and it has nothing to do with points, perfection, or “starting over.”
Whether you’re on the fence about joining MWLA or you’re just sick of feeling like you’re “failing” at food, Rebecca’s story will leave you inspired, empowered, and maybe even a little emotional. (I definitely was.)

Ever feel like you should be further along by now? Like, it’s September, and somehow 2025 is around the corner—but your goals? Your weight loss? Still stuck in January?
If you're thinking “WTF happened to the year?” and panicking that you haven't made the progress you swore you would, this episode is for you.
Today I’m walking you through 3 shockingly simple shifts I’ve been coaching clients on lately—tiny changes that are helping real women start seeing actual results before the year’s over. We’re talking less perfection, more momentum. Less stress, more consistency. And the third one? It's the one you're definitely skipping… and it's the fix that finally moves the scale.
This episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking and start doing what actually works. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about working smarter—and doing it in a way that fits your real, messy, beautiful life.
Ready to get unstuck and finish 2025 strong? Press play, pick ONE of these shifts, and let’s make the next 4 months count.
xoxo,
Jackie

Ever wondered if counting macros is just another restrictive diet—or if it could actually help you feel more empowered in your weight loss journey? This episode will give you major clarity.
In today’s guest episode, I’m joined by the incredible Amber Brueseke—mom of four, former RN, personal trainer, and founder of Biceps After Babies. Amber is living proof that your fittest days can come after babies (and yes, even in your 40s), and she’s here to challenge everything you think you know about dieting and sustainable weight loss.
We’re breaking down how macro counting isn’t about eating less—it’s about eating smarter. Amber shares how she used data, not deprivation, to align her nutrition with her goals (and why she ate ice cream every night and still got abs). From building muscle to feeling energized, we talk about using food as a tool—not a punishment—and how to ditch the “all-or-nothing” mindset that keeps so many women stuck.
Amber breaks down the difference between using macros as a tool vs. treating them like another restrictive diet, how to get out of the all-or-nothing mindset, and why your “fittest self” might still be ahead of you (even in your 40s, 50s, and beyond).
One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Amber introduces the “macro scientist” mindset—where curiosity replaces judgment and numbers become neutral. Whether you’ve been burned by calorie counting in the past, feel stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, or you’re deep into your mindful eating journey—this conversation offers a fresh, freeing perspective on what’s actually possible.

GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are everywhere right now—on social media, in ads, and maybe even in your own medicine cabinet. Are they magic? Are they cheating? Maybe even wondered should YOU be on one?
In this long-overdue episode, I’m cutting through the confusion with my honest, no-BS take on GLP-1 medications—what they actually do (and what they absolutely don’t), the biggest myths no one’s talking about, and my real thoughts as a weight loss dietitian and coach. I’m sharing stories from real clients, the muscle loss nobody warned you about, and what you actually need to focus on if you want long-term, sustainable results—GLP-1 or not.
We’re talking appetite vs. emotions, why so many women regain weight after stopping meds, and the non-negotiable mindset shifts you have to make if you want to keep the weight off—plus, my honest answer to “Should I take it?”
If you’re on GLP-1s, curious about them, or feeling all kinds of ways about this whole convo, this episode is 100% for you. Let’s get real about healing your relationship with food and your body, so you can feel FREE—whether there’s a prescription in your bag or not.

Ever feel like life is just way too much sometimes and your weight loss goals get put on the back burner? The laundry is piled high, the kids need you every five minutes, work is chaotic, and suddenly your routine is gone. You start asking yourself, “Is it even worth it right now?”
This episode is your lifeline when life gets messy. I’m sharing exactly what to do when life feels chaotic–so you don’t just throw your hands up and quit. I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s really been going on in my own world—and how I’m still showing up (without falling apart). Whether you’re caring for a loved one, adjusting to postpartum life, or just straight-up exhausted, this one’s for you.
Inside, I’m sharing 4 real-life weight loss strategies that actually work when life is chaotic—plus stories from my clients who are doing the same. You don’t need to do it all. You just need a plan that bends without breaking.
If you’re ready to stop quitting every time life gets hard, this episode will help you keep going, even on the busiest, hardest days.

One year. Two kids. 35 pounds lost.
Ezra just turned one (!!), and today I’m pulling back the curtain on my 1-year postpartum weight loss journey. From healing physically and emotionally, to navigating breastfeeding, business, and mom life with two kids—this past year has been full of growth (not just the baby kind).
If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to balance life with two kiddos, run a business, keep up with breastfeeding, AND lose the baby weight—this episode is for you. I’m sharing the not-so-glam postpartum truths, from losing 35 pounds (without tracking a single macro or going on any wild diets!) to learning to trust my hunger cues, finding joy in simple movement (hello, walking desk life), and kicking “bounce back” culture to the curb once and for all.
Plus, I’m serving up allll the honesty around asking for help, setting boundaries, and forgiving myself when I just can’t do it all. (Because, uh, who actually can?!)
Whether you’re in the trenches of postpartum or just love a little peek behind the curtain, this one’s got it all—heart, mindset shifts, and that reminder you don’t have to do it perfectly to be proud of your journey.
Let me know on IG (@the.mindful.nutritionist) if you love these super real-life updates (or if you think I should have a third kid—jury’s still out, lol). And remember: you DON’T have to “bounce back”—you get to rebuild, stronger than ever.

Jackie

Ready for swimsuit season...or kinda freaking out? Girl, SAME. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll wear that swimsuit when I lose 10 more pounds,” or you find yourself dreading summer because you’re struggling to feel confident in your skin (especially if you’re on a weight loss journey), this episode is for you!
In today’s super real talk, I’m sharing 10 mindset and body image shifts you NEED to get out of your head and actually enjoy summer—yes, even if weight loss is still in progress. We’re ditching the “I’ll love my body later” mindset and jumping into what will actually have you feeling grounded, proud, and confident while rocking that swimsuit (no matter what the scale says).
We’re making confidence an inside job—this isn’t about getting to your “goal weight” first. Plus, I share personal stories (like postpartum struggles and swimsuit drama) and the exact shifts that helped me, and my clients, feel free in our bodies now (not someday).
If you’re ready to have an actually fun and confident summer in your own skin, tune in—we’re making this the summer you show up (even before you “get there”). You’ll leave with 10 practical tips to choose from, a little homework, and SO much encouragement.

Jackie

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—meal planning, moving your body, working on your mindset—but NOTHING seems to be happening? The scale won’t budge, the jeans aren’t fitting any differently, and you start thinking, “What’s the freaking point?!”
If you’ve been stuck in what feels like a never-ending plateau or wondering if your hard work is even making a difference, this episode is your pep talk, strategy session, and permission slip to keep going. Because here’s the truth: progress often looks invisible before it shows up externally. And most women quit right here—right before the breakthrough. Not you.
Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own major plateaus (think: two separate times I wanted to quit for MONTHS) and sharing exactly how to keep going even when you don’t see results… yet. We’re getting real about why your habits are working (even if you can’t see it), why consistency always beats intensity, and how focusing on your journey—not the ‘ideal’ or someone else’s Instagram highlight reel—changes everything.
Whether you’re plateauing, burned out, or just wondering if your efforts are worth it, this episode is your reminder: just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not working.
If you’re ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and actually enjoy your journey, this one’s for you.
xoxo,
Jackie

Anyone else nail their meals and workouts Monday through Thursday, only to have a long weekend (hello, 4th of July BBQs, cocktails, and late nights!) throw you way off track? 🙋♀️ Yeah, I’ve totally been there—every Friday, the wheels come off, and by Monday the guilt is REAL.
This week, we're getting brutally honest about why weekends are the #1 source of summer weight gain (spoiler: it's not lack of willpower, it's sneaky triggers!). From emotional eating to mindless snacking, I’m sharing the exact 3-step system I (and my clients) use to CRUSH self-sabotage—without giving up fun, dessert, or any holiday celebrations.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why you spiral on weekends, and how to spot your biggest triggers
- My go-to “speed bump” strategies that stop autopilot eating in its tracks
- How to harness the power of the pause—yup, 90 seconds can change everything
- How to handle emotional, social, and environmental triggers like a pro
- Proof that you don’t need to be perfect to make progress (goodbye, all-or-nothing thinking!)
Ready to leave the old “start over Monday” cycle in the dust? Grab these simple tips, take your “speed bump” strategy for a spin, and let’s celebrate those wins together!
