Trim Healthy Podcast w/Serene & Pearl (and some guy named Danny)
Counting calories is out. All the food groups are in. Becoming trim and healthy doesn’t have to be difficult or painstaking anymore. After trying almost every fad diet out there… sisters Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett, authors of the best-selling Trim Healthy Mama book series, took matters into their own hands and The Food Freedom Movement was born. This podcast offers a deeper dive into the world of THM. Listen in as the girls tackle a variety of food, fitness and lifestyle topics with the same quirky attitude and style that has endeared them to an ever-growing audience of women who are changing their lives and the lives of their families. Welcome to The Poddy!

Cindy’s journey started at 444 pounds — carrying not just the weight of her body, but the emotional burden of childhood trauma, constant bullying, and a lifetime of failed diets.
She had tried it all: Keto, Paleo, Weight Watchers, even running in place at 12 years old in a plastic sauna suit. Nothing worked — until she was gifted a Trim Healthy Mama book and found Coach Amy. That was the moment things started to change.

Rapid (but sustainable) fat-loss and a total shift in how she viewe...

What would happen if we set down sugar for 40 days? Back in 2014, Wendy began—with an organic movement—asking herself and other women this very question… And the movement caught on!
The thousands who joined her realized part way into it that this wasn’t just about a health fast– it was a spiritual fast. Wendy and her friends were faced with the fact that they’d been going to sugar for comfort, instead of going to God. Rather th...

The Meat: What is the gist of what we’ve been saying the last couple of years?
Bring back the hormones (BRHT): The health fat loss can take time, when you’re on BHRT. Sometimes you gain first, when you’re on estrogen, for instance.
Get the carbs back (Celebrate Carbs!): When your metabolism is healing, there’s a bit of bounce back. You gain some weight, and then will lose later. Trust the process.
Eat your prote...

Sometimes we need reminders in the most basic ways… and today we’re back to the most basic reminder.
We gotta talk about it… Sugar. People tell us all the time how they feel addicted to sugar. Sugar is the villain in the story of epigenetics. It actually exploits all of the bad things in your genetics!
If there is one real “bad guy” – it is white, refined SUGAR. It can cause decay in emotions, in relationships, in your mind. Ye...

The Meat: Supplements and how or do they matter? Over the years doing this Trim Healthy thing we started developing a few different supplement lines. This happened a number of times with different companies. But we had to stop the process every time. We felt like we were just going through the motions to launch supplements (like a sexy multivitamin) and th...

The Meat: It’s time to call a spade a spade. We used to avoid calling certain foods “bad”… too triggering we were told. But times up on all that. Some foods are bad… let’s call them what they are… in fact we’ll go a step further and call them DECEPTIVE. Because, in fact, they’re not food at all. In this poddy, we determine what is food and what is not and set the record straight.
