Fitness and Nutrition Without the Overwhelm with Kristin Avagliano

Fitness and nutrition advice can feel overwhelming and stressful. How much protein do you actually need? Are fasted workouts a good idea? Do weighted vests really make a difference? It can be hard to know what's hype and what actually works. Kristin Avagliano, sports nutritionist, personal trainer, and founder of Create My Weight, helps people cut through the confusion so they can find practical, sustainable ways to move and eat. We discuss the mindset shifts that make exercise sustainable (and fun), how stress affects workouts and nutrition, why cardio is just as important as strength training, and actionable tips for balancing movement and eating in a way that feels good. In this episode, you'll learn: Mindset shifts that make exercise and nutrition sustainable How stress impacts workouts and eating habits Which foods best support workouts The truth about weighted vests, protein, fasted workouts, and other trends How NEAT (non-exercise movement like walking) boosts results Easy ways to integrate movement and cooking into daily life If you've ever felt confused by trends, rules, or "shoulds," tune in for a fresh perspective and practical takeaways on making fitness and nutrition work for you.
