Have you ever felt like your body and metabolism just "weren't the same" after years spend trying to diet and get "fit?" Has it ever felt like the more hardcore you got in your fitness pursuits, things actually started backfiring, and you started gaining weight uncontrollably that wouldn't come off, all while developing symptoms like bloating, food intolerances, anxiety, poor digestion, irregular or missing periods, chronic fatigue, and chronic inflammation? And if you said yes, have you ever felt hopeless or like you were destined to be overweight and tired for the rest of your life? Today's guest Vince Pitstick has worked with thousands of women like you and beyond. Vince has spent the last decade diving deep into functional health and nutrition to help with this exact problem. Since he set out on this mission, he's created Nutrition Dynamic, the largest 1-on-1 health coaching company in America, and co-founded Metabolic Mentor University, a program that helps hundreds of health + wellness coaches become certified in functional nutrition so they can carry out their mission of improving their clients' health and lives every single day. On today's show, we're discussing functional nutrition and metabolism, diving into topics such as: -why metabolism goes to shit when we diet for too long -metabolic dysfunction, -how a "hard core" fitness lifestyle can lead to more fat gain and worse health in the long term - the concept of "metabolic forgiveness" - the impact of our emotional state + mindset on food influences nutrient metabolism - the path forward to restoring metabolism after years of chronic dieting, menopause, chronic illness, and more  Check out Vince on EMBody Radio: 5 Signs of Metabolic Dysfunction  Check out Vince on EMBody Radio: Post Contest Dieting and Metabolic Adaptation FOLLOW VINCE ON IG Metabolic Mentor University YouTube Channel Metabolic Mentor University Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?

How Hardcore Fitness Can Make You Fat and How to Restore Metabolism After Years of Chronic Dieting | with Vince Pitstick and Emily Duncan

Today we are getting REAL vulnerable. I've never really talked about this in full, raw form on any of my platforms. In 2021, I embarked on a psychedelic medicine ceremony with a very powerful medicine - Bufo, or 5-MeO-DMT. That experience took a turn when I came home and my integration went south, or more specifically, went dark. That experience launched me into a real-life existential crisis, and it was one of the most challenging times in my life. This episode is an unfiltered tell-all. *CONTENT WARNINGS*  This episode is not meant to endorse the use of illegal and/or psychoactive substances, and is for entertainment only.

You know him as the king of Golden Retriever Energy, the Innsufferably Handsome Responsible Delinquent, or you know him as... Matt McLeod. Today, we're sitting down with one of my best friends and favorite humans for an episode full of both wholesome fun and valuable perspective. In today's episode, we focus a lot on relationships: how to cultivate meaningful friendships as an adult, the concept of platonic friendships and if they can really exist, and how to start "doing the work" on yourself to improve your relationship with yourself and with the people in your life. We also talk to Matt about his unique perspective on business in the fitness coaching space, and how he's maintained his clarity and values in what he wants in business at a time when shiny object syndrome is everyone and profit seems to be the only metric for success.

Periods aren't meant to be something that destroys your entire week when you have them, and there are so many accessible ways we can naturally support our menstrual cycles. One of the top pieces of feedback we get from clients is that their periods become more consistent and less painful while working with us. In this episode, we talk about simple ways to improve cycle health, and we also cover why you don't need to practice cycle syncing with your training (and why I actually kind of hate that methodology as a health + fitness coach).

We've all been there - life comes at you fast, or mental health struggles hit, and you suddenly find yourself in the middle of an icky, sticky, mucky funk. Like you're in swamp. And that is decidedly... not the vibe. I found myself in a really high stress season this summer, and sure enough, funk was I in. My mental health tanked, my health, performance, and body composition did a nose dive, and I overall just... didn't feel great (which is an understatement). So, I'm sharing with you some of my favorite tried-and-true de-funking practices to help you shift your state and get into your best life (and self) yet.

Take Your Power Back and Become Your Own Healer - Spiritual Tools for High-Achieving Women | with Taylor Stone and Emily Duncan

In today’s episode, we’ll be exploring all things intuition. It’s one of my most frequently asked questions in the spiritual category - how to strengthen your intuition, how to listen to it, and how to discern between an emotional reaction vs. your intuition, and how to harness its power to improve your health, wealth, and relationships.  Our intuition is an incredible tool that often goes unnoticed or ignored in our masculine, urgent, logic-driven world. But by understanding and trusting your intuition, we can revolutionize just about every area of our lives. When we’re able to remove some of the static from the station that is our deep, true internal guidance system, we’re able to naturally experience better health, more wealth, deeper relationships, and overall lead more aligned and fulfilling lives.
