#161 - From healing her endometriosis and chronic thrush to doing a fat loss phase and now a muscle building phase with Lou Driver

Weight Loss For Women: eat more, train less, get results

Lou has been in our coaching program for over 2.5 years. She has kids, works full-time, and is really busy, but we’ve had her on the podcast before to talk about tips and tricks to make tracking your food simple with a family, so go check out that one if you haven’t already!

I wanted to get Lou back on the podcast to talk about her incredible journey. When she first started with us, she had terrible endometriosis and chronic thrush. It was so bad she had 7 ablations. She was unintentionally under eating and not getting enough of the right nutrients. But she’s come out the other side and has done the full cycle from a healing phase to a body recomp phase, to maintenance to a fat-loss phase and is now doing a muscle-building phase. Lou also no longer has endometriosis symptoms or thrush!

She's currently sitting at 58.7kgs and is eating a whopping 2700 calories per day.

She is an excellent example of how you can look good and feel good, but you have to put in the work. So, in this episode, Lou and I chat about:

➡️Lou’s health history and why she joined the program

➡️What she tried in the past to fix her health problems

➡️How many calories and what kinds of foods she’s eating now

➡️What her strength training looks like

➡️How she went during her fat loss phase (her tips and advice) and how her muscle-building phase is going

➡️What challenges Lou had during her fat loss phase

➡️Meal prepping for herself and her family (and how easy it is!)

➡️What Lou enjoyed about the fat loss phase

➡️How much more confidence Lou has gained

➡️The importance of your health

➡️How coaching has helped Lou have success

And more!
