Effective Weight Loss for Moms | Workout Routines, Lose Weight, Meal Planning, Healthy Habits, Fat Loss
Do you feel like you should have this health thing figured out by now… but no one ever actually taught you how to do it in a way that fits your real life?
Are you tired of starting over every Monday? Trying to eat “clean,” squeeze in workouts, and then feeling like you failed when life gets crazy again?
You don't need to work harder. I believe that you struggle because you’ve just spent years putting everyone else first, and no one’s ever shown you how to take care of you.
Welcome to The Effective Weight Loss for Moms Podcast, where you’ll learn how to lose fat, build strength, and finally feel confident in your body through strength training, flexible nutrition, and consistency systems.
Hey, I’m Rachel. I'm a mom of 5, follower of Jesus, Registered Dietitian, and Certified Personal Trainer.
After my third baby, I felt stuck in a body that didn’t feel like mine. I tried all the things, like eating less, doing endless cardio, intermittent fasting, and still felt frustrated and defeated.
Once I learned how to fuel my body instead of punish it, and trained smarter (not longer), everything changed. I got stronger, lost fat, and found confidence I hadn’t felt in years.
Now, I help other moms do the same. Because guess what? If you were never taught how to build a healthy lifestyle that lasts, it's not going to be natural for you! I can be the one to show you how, so you can model this for your kids and break the cycle of inconsistency for good.
If you’re ready to finally be consistent, feel strong, and live healthy without guilt or overwhelm, this podcast is for you.
Grab your protein shake, take a deep breath, and let’s do this together.

Today's episode is super juicy-I'm taking you behind the scenes inside on of my coaching sessions.
When I first was trying to figure out how to strength train for fat loss, there was a lot of trial and error. I definitely remember a few months of frustration in there.
But I remember so clearly when it started working.
I figured it out, and it felt amazing. It was working!
I was actually losing fat and getting stronger! 💪
Today's podcast episode features a conversation with one of my clients who's experiencing what I experienced: It's working!
Kelly has been working so hard during my program and she's seeing the payoff-just shy of 10 lbs in 8 weeks at the time of recording (she's hit the "official" 10 lb mark now).
And, since her strength training and nutrition are on track, we know that her weight loss represents 10 lbs of FAT she's lost, not muscle AND fat.
It's working!!💪
Listen in on our conversation as we discuss how she's doing with meal planning, workouts, and some strategic planning for her weight loss in the future.
