I am so excited to feature one one of my Unf*ck Your Fitness clients, Julie, to talk about her fitness journey over the last three years!


Julie came to me feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, underfed, and stuck. She had recently changed jobs, was navigating a new ulcerative colitis diagnosis, had gained weight, and knew she wanted to feel like herself again…but she had no idea where to start.


We talk about what it felt like for her to learn macros, reverse diet, start strength training, and finally understand that body recomposition is not a quick fix. It took time, trust, consistency, and a lot of mindset work.


Julie shares what helped her most, how she learned to stop chasing perfection, why the scale and progress pictures were so frustrating, and how she has lost around 30 pounds while building muscle, confidence, and a completely different relationship with fitness.


This is such an honest conversation about what real change actually looks like:  the messy beginning, the slow progress, the hard weeks, the mindset shifts, and the moment you realize you are not the same person anymore.



In this episode, we cover:

  • What it was like to reverse diet after barely eating enough
  • Why body recomposition takes time
  • How long it took her to start noticing changes
  • Why the scale and progress pictures can feel so frustrating
  • What helped her move away from all-or-nothing thinking
  • How macros gave her more flexibility and confidence
  • Navigating fitness while dealing with real-life health issues
  • What has changed physically, mentally, and emotionally
