Are your hormones really the reason you can’t lose weight or is it the habits, mindset, and “wellness” lies you’ve been sold for years?
In this bold, no-BS conversation, Christina sits down with Beth Ferrico, to expose the truth about fat loss, menopause, mindset, and why the wellness industry can be just as toxic as diet culture.
Beth opens up about her journey from bartending and burnout to becoming a six-figure fitness coach and sober powerhouse. Together, they unpack why most women are always dieting but never in a real deficit, how to overcome the “I’m too old” mindset, and why supplements and shortcuts (like GLP-1s and peptides) are not the solution.
If you’ve ever blamed your hormones, your metabolism, or your age — this episode is your wake-up call.
