Fri, 04 Sep 2026 09:00:00 -0400

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey Stott breaks down why most women aren't getting the results they're capable of - and it has nothing to do with genetics, talent, or information. It's a standards problem.

She explains the difference between goals and standards, why your baseline is almost always shaped by your environment and history instead of your actual capability, and how to set a new non-negotiable floor that holds up even when life gets hard. Plus, why September through December is the window that separates women who walk into January already ahead from women who start over again.

If you've been coasting on "good enough" and wondering why nothing changes, this episode is your wake-up call.

Nikkiey also shares practical ways to stay consistent without being perfect, including the difference between your ideal week and your minimum standard. If you've been pushing your health to the back of the line, this episode is your wake-up call.

What "Toned" Actually Means—And How to Get There | Ep. 356

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0400

If you've been chasing a "toned" look but can't seem to get there no matter what you try, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott breaks down what toned actually means—and spoiler: it's not a fitness term, it's a marketing one. Biologically, a toned physique comes down to just two things: developed muscle and a low enough body fat percentage for that muscle to be visible.

She explains why so many women stay stuck—endless cardio, light weights, high reps, and severe calorie restriction don't build muscle. They destroy it. And without muscle, you'll never get the look you're after.

Nikkiey walks you through the right approach: building real muscle through compound movements and progressive overload, while reducing body fat through a moderate calorie deficit and high protein intake. She also tackles the fear of "getting bulky"—one of the biggest things holding women back from lifting heavy—and reframes what it actually takes to build a stronger, leaner body.

If you're ready to stop shrinking and start building, this episode will show you exactly how.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of doing more but getting nowhere, this episode will show you a better way forward.

The Truth About Metabolism Repair | Ep. 354

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.

These two patterns are constantly mislabeled, and that confusion is often exactly why so many women feel stuck in cycles they can't seem to break.

Nikkiey walks you through what separates the two—from eating to cope with stress or difficult emotions, to reaching for food out of habit or environmental cues that have nothing to do with how you're feeling. She explains why getting this wrong keeps you spinning your wheels, and why getting it right changes everything.

You'll walk away with a clear framework to identify what's actually driving your eating—and practical strategies to start shifting it, whether that means building emotional awareness, restructuring your environment, or breaking habits running on autopilot.

If nothing has stuck before, it might not be a willpower problem. It might be a root cause problem—and this episode helps you find it.

Curious to know more about how whole foods can transform your health during menopause?

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.

Today in episode 137 we're getting real about the ketogenic diet and muscle building. Sure, this diet can be a tool for shredding fat, but when it comes to building up those muscles, there's a bit more to the story.

Carbs are not just comfort food; they're fuel for serious growth. They energize your workouts and are critical in the muscle repair process. So, when you slash the carbs for keto, you might also be sidelining some serious gains.

Your muscles need glycogen, and glycogen comes from carbs. Running on fats alone? You might find yourself hitting a wall when trying to level up your strength. Building muscle isn't just about protein; it's a complex dance of nutrients, timing, and science.
