More sessions, not longer ones If you want to increase your cardio and it’s actually going to help you move toward your goals (i.e. you’re not overdoing it), don’t just extend your sessions — you’ll benefit more from distributing it more evenly over extra sessions. This helps mitigate against fatigue as long cardio workouts drain a ton of energy. By distributing the same total amount of cardio across more days of the week, you’ll typically notice more consistent energy levels and be able to enjoy life more in general! So don’t be tempted to go through it all at once.

Ruts are normal, but they don’t have to stick. You can break free, and it often doesn’t take much to get started! Let’s take a look at 3 of the best ways to do it...1. Revisit your rootsWe all forget why we started sometimes — it’s normal. It’s even healthy — when we look back on the beginning of the journey, we realize how far we’ve come and whether we’re still aligned with our intentions. Ask how your goals and priorities have changed, and get super clear on what drives them. Then you can look at your current trajectory and see where you’ve been consistent (and where you haven’t). This makes it much simpler to find your motivation again and press forward with more excitement and energy than you’ve had in ages!

The fitness industry has a dark secret hidden behind promises of quick-fix results and unattainable goals.It keeps women jumping from diet to diet, always starting something new and then bouncing back, even when they know deep down that nothing is going to change.The end result is that you can try going on keto, low-fat, intermittent fasting, whatever the latest trend is… And still be pulled into yet another program making the same promises, using a different type of restriction.Typically, it also comes with the promise of absurdly fast results, and it’s so cleverly designed that even if you never see lasting results after doing everything right, it’s nearly impossible to resist coming back over and trying again…No matter how frustrating or difficult it becomes!These companies pull women in by using complicated systems that only work under extremely specific circumstances.Keto is a perfect example: Ketosis only kicks in when carbs are almost completely absent from your body… And at the moment you reintroduce carbs to your diet, this fat-burning mechanism grinds to a halt.Intermittent fasting relies on avoiding all food except for within a very specific window of time. But outside of that time, you may be constantly battling hunger and fatigue until you’re even allowed a snack.While some women have the time and willpower to get everything absolutely perfect, this lifestyle isn’t realistic for the vast majority of women. Plus, it’ll make you miserable faster than you can say “low cal”!If you understand this secret and how it’s designed to keep you hooked on programs that never work, you can take back control and turn the tables on these unrealistic and unsustainable diets forever.I can attest to this… I was on brutally restrictive plans in my competition days, and once I discovered why I could never see the results I wanted unless I put my body through hell, everything clicked into place.Since then and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked out about 3-5 days a week, eating a sustainable and enjoyable diet that allows me to stay toned year-round without the ups and downs most nutrition plans are infamous for.I’ve never looked back since. Restrictive diets don’t work, plain and simple — look at what happens with those “success stories” months or years later and that will be abundantly clear.I can show you the same step-by-step process over 8,138 women have used and continue to use right now to make and KEEP progress they never found with any restrictive diets!

In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott is joined by WarriorBabe Brand Leaders Maggie Topham and Andrea Simulis for a powerful Q&A on why women’s weight loss often stalls in their 40s, 50s & 60s. They break down what’s actually happening when you’re eating clean, working out, and still not seeing results—and the answers may surprise you. Together, they dive into the biggest questions women are asking right now: Is your metabolism really slowing down? Why does eating less backfire? How do you set macros that support hormones, energy, and fat loss? And why is strength training the missing piece for midlife women who want to look toned and feel xastrong again? Does incline walking actually burn more fat? And so much more! If you’re frustrated, confused, or feeling stuck in your 40s, this episode gives you the clarity, strategy, and encouragement you’ve been missing.
December exposes you. It tests your standards, your discipline, your emotional triggers, and the identity you’ve been building all year. In this episode, Nikkiey breaks down why December is the hardest month to stay consistent — and why that’s exactly why it matters the most. If you’re tired of starting over every January, this is the wake-up call that will finally break that cycle

If you’ve been feeling frustrated, stuck, or like nothing is working… this episode is for you. Nikkiey is speaking straight to the woman who’s ready to throw in the towel — not because she doesn’t want the goal anymore, but because she’s exhausted trying to get there. But before you quit, we need you to hear this. In this powerful episode, Nikkiey is breaking down the three brutally honest questions every WarriorBabe needs to ask before giving up. This isn’t fluff. This is the unfiltered, soul-shifting mindset work that separates women who transform from women who stay stuck. Whether you’re struggling to stay consistent, battling self-doubt, or secretly thinking “maybe this just isn’t for me” — this conversation will remind you of who you are, and what you’re truly capable of. You don’t need a new plan. You need a new perspective. Let’s go.

In this raw and truth-filled episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott exposes the most dangerous addiction of all — comfort. While most people focus on cutting sugar, caffeine, or screen time, she reveals how the quiet pull of comfort destroys potential faster than anything else. Nikkiey unpacks how comfort shows up in our everyday habits — from hitting snooze to avoiding risk — and how it slowly erodes confidence, discipline, and drive. Through powerful storytelling and actionable tools, she challenges listeners to step into discomfort as the path to growth, strength, and self-mastery. Perfect for women who know they’re meant for more — but keep choosing easy over evolution.

In this episode of The Macro Hour, host Nikkiey Stott flips the script on the modern definition of “self-care.” With tough love and raw honesty, she unpacks why so many women are stuck in a cycle of emotional escape masked as “balance” — and how what they think is nurturing them is actually sabotaging their goals. Nikkiey dives into the psychology behind avoidance patterns, the cultural conditioning that glorifies rest without accountability, and the gritty truth that real self-care often looks like discipline, boundaries, and doing the hard thing. Listeners will walk away with a powerful reframe on what it means to truly care for yourself — and how to start choosing habits that build confidence instead of chaos.

Are you doing hours of cardio every week but still not seeing results — especially in your belly? You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. In this fire-packed episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott exposes the truth behind the cardio-obsessed culture keeping women 40+ stuck, frustrated, and hormonally wrecked. You’ll learn: Why cardio backfires as you age The real impact of elevated cortisol and muscle loss How your metabolism adapts (and slows) with too much cardio Why walking + strength training is the long-term fat-loss solution How to transition out of the “Cardio Trap” without fear or guilt If you’ve been working hard but your body isn’t changing — this episode is your wake-up call. Ditch the endless treadmill sessions and start training smarter, not harder.
In one of her most vulnerable episodes yet, Nikkiey Stott opens up about the quiet toll the past year has taken on her body, her health, and her spirit. From the outside, she looked like she had it all together — running a thriving company, showing up on camera, leading a movement. But behind the scenes, her body was sending signals: exhaustion, hair loss, brain fog, poor recovery, and more. This episode chronicles what happened when Nikkiey finally paused to dig deeper. She shares her journey through functional lab testing that revealed low thyroid, low testosterone, and adrenal dysfunction — and how years of pushing, forcing, and staying “in control” had led her nervous system into chronic fight-or-flight. What follows is a story of healing: from seeking neurofeedback therapy to rebuilding her relationship with God, learning to soften, surrender, and step out of masculine energy. For any woman who’s been silently struggling while doing everything right, this is the reminder that your body keeps the score — and your healing matters.
In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott sits down with WarriorBabe Brand Face Maggie Topham—a health and fitness veteran with over 30 years of experience helping women take back control of their bodies and confidence. Maggie opens up about the symptoms that pushed her to take her health more seriously and how years of yo-yo dieting and under-eating wrecked her metabolism. She shares how she broke free from the cycle of losing and regaining the same weight, learned to properly fuel her body, and built lasting strength. Along the way, she exposes why so many women feel misled by the endless “quick fixes” out there—and what it really takes to create results that last. This conversation is real, eye-opening, and inspiring—proving that you’re never too old to transform and thrive. Want more inspiration from Maggie?
