166. Rethinking Fitness: How Body Recomp Can Transform Your Fitness Journey
Dec 22, 2025
Today’s episode is covering one of my FAVORITE topics: body recomp!
Body recomposition (body recomp for short) is something I’ve grown to LOVE as I’ve been on my own journey + coached hundreds of women. It goes way beyond fat loss or muscle gain, and can be super personalized to you and YOUR goals.
For some reason, we’ve made health and fitness all about ‘losing weight’; we associate being ‘healthy’ with being a smaller or skinnier version of ourselves.
I’m honestly SO over this narrative. I believe that taking more of a holistic approach with body recomp can truly transform your physique, mindset, and entire life!
As I’ve been experiencing my own health challenges the last few months, I’m grateful for tools like body recomp. It’s empowering to know that at the end of the day, I’M still the one in control!
The options are endless with body recomp, and you will learn so much about yourself on this journey. Ultimately, YOU are in the driver’s seat with your health and fitness, so I hope you choose to embrace the possibilities, and take action!
