Let's talk about the impact of alcohol on your body, particularly in relation to macronutrition and your fitness journey.Alcohol's high caloric content can lead to unexpected weight gain, affecting not just your waistline but also your overall health. Join Nikkiey as we explore how alcohol consumption can lead to overeating, poor food choices, and a decrease in control over your calorie intake. These factors combined can derail even the most disciplined fitness routines.But that's not all. Alcohol also disrupts the delicate balance of hormones in your body, including testosterone and growth hormones. This disruption can significantly impede your body's ability to recover from strength training and make it much harder to build and maintain muscle.#AlcoholAndFitness #MacroHourPodcast #WarriorBabe #FitnessJourney #Macronutrition #CalorieCounting #MuscleRecovery #TestosteroneImpact #GrowthHormones #StrengthTraining #HealthyLifestyle #FitnessTips #BalancedDiet #Bodybuilding #NutritionAdvice #HealthAndWellness #FitnessEducation #WeightManagement #BuildingMuscle #FitnessPodcast

Curious to know more about how whole foods can transform your health during menopause?In this episode, Nikkiey Stott sits down with Autumn Smith, co-founder of Paleovalley, to dive deep into the power of whole foods and proper nutrition. Autumn, a leading voice in holistic nutrition and a doctoral candidate, shares her journey of curing her own digestive issues by switching to a whole food, organic diet.Autumn realized that truly healthy products were hard to find, and many marketed as grain-free or sugar-free were also nutrient-free. This led her and her husband Chas to launch Paleovalley in 2013, making essential nutrients accessible without added sugars, grains, or harmful ingredients. In 2018, they launched Wild Pastures, a regenerative meat delivery service working with sustainable farmers to raise livestock in ecosystems that mimic nature.From her days as a fitness trainer for the Tracy Anderson Method on tour with Jennifer Lopez to becoming a Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition, Autumn’s passion for the healing power of whole foods is evident. She’s a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, a Certified Eating Psychology Coach, and is currently a Doctoral Candidate.If you’re looking to improve your health and learn more about the power of whole foods, this conversation is a must!

If you've ever felt like your metabolism is broken—like no matter how little you eat, nothing is working—this episode is for you. Nikkiey Stott breaks down the truth behind "metabolism repair" and clears up a major misconception: your metabolism isn't broken. It's adapted. And there's a big difference.She explains what metabolic adaptation is, why it happens, and how chronic under-eating, yo-yo dieting, excessive cardio, and low protein intake cause your body to downregulate—burning less, increasing hunger, and holding on to fat just to survive.The good news? It's reversible. Nikkiey walks you through what metabolism repair actually looks like—a gradual, structured process of rebuilding calories, restoring hormonal health, and prioritizing muscle—along with realistic timelines so you know what to expect.If you've been stuck in the restrict-and-rebound cycle, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do about it.If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!
