Today I'm talking about cortisol because it gets blamed for everything… belly fat, stress, poor sleep, even cravings for salty snacks. But here's the deal—not everything you've heard about cortisol is true. In this episode, I’m busting 3 of the biggest myths and teasing what you can expect from our brand-new 5-Day CORTISOL RESET. Because guess what? You’re not doomed by your stress hormones. You just need to know how to work with them—not against them.

Have you ever found yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips and thought, “Wait, am I even hungry?” Or maybe you’ve tried to “be good” all day, only to eat your feelings the moment stress hits? You're not broken—you're human. But understanding why we reach for food when we're not physically hungry is the first step to breaking the cycle. That’s why I’ve invited a special guest—a health psychologist who specializes in emotional eating. We’re going to talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes when food becomes comfort, distraction, or reward... and how to gently shift those patterns without shame or restriction. This conversation is going to hit home in the best way. CONNECT with Dr. Laurel Mellin at www.ebt.org and don't forget to use our 30% discount code FAT LOSS SCHOOL when you join her program.

Are you drinking enough water? Before you say yes, let me hit you with a fact that blew my mind: The average American drinks nearly 40 gallons of soda per year, but less than half of what experts recommend in plain water. 🤯 And dehydration—even mild—can tank your energy, your mood, and yes, your fat loss progress. Today on Fat Loss School, we’re diving into Hydration 101—how much water you really need, why it’s a non-negotiable part of fat loss, and how to make it way more enjoyable with a few of my favorite supplements.

Do you feel like you are doing everything right - like eating very little and exercising - but your weight won’t budge? I have been there! I was a runner adding more & more miles to my routine but the scale was going in the wrong direction! It turns out I was likely under-fueled and over-exercising…so my body was stubbornly holding onto fat instead of releasing it to burn for fuel. Here’s my story that changed everything nearly 8 years ago!

Today I want to give you a behind-the-scenes peek at what a FASTer Way day actually looks like. Because let’s be real—when people hear “intermittent fasting” or “strength training” or “macro tracking,” they sometimes picture a life that’s rigid, intense, time-consuming… and maybe even miserable. That’s not what we do here. The truth is, the FASTer Way lifestyle is super flexible, fits into your life whether you're retired or running a company, and takes up way less time than you think. So today I’m introducing you to three fictional clients—each with different lifestyles—so you can see just how manageable and customizable this really is.

July isn’t just any month, it’s my birthday month —🎉 and this is my birthday episode because I’m turning 59 Sunday. I'm sharing the best gift I could ever give myself: a strong, lean body and a confident mindset heading into the final year of my 50s. I’m not saying that to brag.

Today we'rehaving a little heart-to-heart about a common trap almost all of us fall into—scale obsession. Tell me if this sounds familiar... “I just want to get back to my high school weight.” “I was happiest at 135.” “If I could just lose 20 pounds, I’d feel good again.” I get it. We've been trained to think our weight is everything. But here’s the truth: 💥 The number on the scale doesn't tell much about your body. What really matters isn’t your weight. It’s your body composition. So today, we're going to break down: What body composition is Why it matters more than weight How to measure it And how to improve it (without going on some extreme diet) CONNECT with Amy Bryan any of the following ways: ENROLL in my next FASTer Way 6-week online class at https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/AMYBRYAN SCHEDULE a discovery call, VOICE MESSAGE me, JOIN my free Facebook community group, and DOWNLOAD my latest freebies at www.linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway Email me at [email protected]

Today I am throwing out the wellness myths, the silly trends, and celebrating the freedom that comes from finally understanding what works—and what’s just hype. Here’s the truth: most women over 50 have tried all the things—Keto, detox teas, bulletproof coffee, the ab roller and thigh master, chronic cardio—you name it. But today? We're smarter. We’re done chasing trends. And the FASTer Way is not a trend—it's science-backed, sanity-saving, and actually sustainable long term.

Since it’s Memorial Day weekend that this episode airs, today, we’re mapping out your summer. ☀️ But before we hit the gas, I want you to picture this: Where do you want to arrive when summer wraps up?

Today’s topic is all about why keeping the weight off is such a struggle. Most of us have been successful losing weight before.

But the part that no one talks about enough is this: most people regain the losses. I share four strategies in today's episode that will help you keep from regaining the weight you've lost.

Our standard American diet is making us fat, sick, and starving for real satisfying nutrition. We don't find that real nourishing and satisfying food in Snack Wells, Lean Cuisines, or even protein bars. We are missing the mark if we are trying to get healthy and lose fat with processed food-like substances. Today's lesson reminds us that nature's way of eating is also nature's way of preventing obesity.

Today’s lesson comes from a recovering emotional eater…we’re talking bags of M & Ms and pints of ice cream. Who can’t relate to over-eating on sugary foods like those? Her lesson is on rewiring your brain based on patterns and threats (or triggers) and is tied to her occupation (and I can’t wait for you to hear what her job was). Stick with us to the end for a fun freebie to help with your own emotional eating triggers.

I have questions all of the time that are so basic…not complicated questions like "how do I carb cycle" or "how do I determine my macros" but “is there an app or a Facebook group?” and “where do I sign up and what happens next” …just really basic info and I realize that I skip those important pieces of basic information in my enthusiasm to share the features of our program or the results. So, on today’s podcast episode I want to share exactly how my online class works for women over 50 looking to lose inches and pounds of fat in the next 6 weeks.

Consistency matters! You can’t exercise hard on Saturday and it be enough for the week - just like you can’t brush your teeth on Saturday and it be enough for the week.

I want you to be able to stick with your actions so you can reach your goals. So today I am sharing 20 strategies to help you be consistent with healthy eating and exercise. All of them won’t be for you as everyone has different tendencies and motivations. But there are likely a handful that will be magic for you!

Sometimes we get stuck in our tracks because of overwhelming choices and indecision. Another word for it is ANALYSIS PARALYSIS. There are so many options that you become confused, hesitant, and then make no decision at all…meaning no forward progress at all. Or fall for each get-skinny-quick scheme and have so much going on you are confused, tired, hangry, and still see no results. Today's episode shares examples of searches for the right diet plan - and how the simplest, healthiest, and most sustainable plan is inevitably the one that will work.
