Hosted by Kassie, a certified personal training and nutrition coach through NASM who specializes in body recomposition for women nearing their 40s and beyond, this show is the clarity you've been needing. It's for women who are done with extreme dieting, endless cardio, and the old diet culture playbook. Each week, Kassie breaks down the science of body recomposition — how to lose fat, build muscle, and get the lean, defined look you want in a way that actually supports your hormones, metabolism, and long-term health. This isn't a show about shrinking. It's about building a stronger, more capable body that works for you — one that looks good, feels good, and doesn't require you to white-knuckle your way through restriction and burnout to maintain it.If you want visible definition, more energy, and confidence you've never had before, this is the place for you. No fluff, no quick fixes, just the straight science-backed truth about what it actually takes to change your body at this stage of life.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-eat-build-sculpt-podcast-7804332"},"episode":{"title":"Why HIIT is keeping you from dropping body fat","slug":"why-hiit-is-keeping-you-from-dropping-body-fat","published_at":"2026-06-03T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-eat-build-sculpt-podcast-7804332/why-hiit-is-keeping-you-from-dropping-body-fat","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-eat-build-sculpt-podcast-7804332","url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/fvPTcBblQv/9acd6668-d4f8-4c55-8dc7-130d4f246429.mp3","audio_url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/fvPTcBblQv/9acd6668-d4f8-4c55-8dc7-130d4f246429.mp3","summary":"Every time I post about why I don't recommend HIIT for the women I work with, I get some pushback in the comments. And honestly? I get it. Taken out of context, \"don't do HIIT\" sounds extreme. So today I wanted to use the podcast to give you the full picture — with more context, more science, and more honesty than a 60-second reel allows. Here's what I actually believe: HIIT is not the devil. It has its place. But it has become a universal recommendation for women — especially busy moms — because the fitness industry figured out that a 20-minute workout that leaves you breathless and sweating is very easy to sell. Whether it's actually getting you the results you want is a different question. And for most of the women I work with, the answer is no. What you'll learn Why HIIT became the default recommendation for women What actually happens in your body when you do HIIT repeatedly — and why it's a problem for women who are already stressed and under-fueled The VO2 max conversation — what it actually means, why it's become a buzzword, and whether you actually need HIIT to improve it Why you can be someone who \"works out every day\" and still be functionally sedentary — and how your Apple Watch is misleading you Why I don't care how many calories you burned during your workout — and what I look at instead What I actually recommend, and when HIIT does have a legitimate place To learn about working with me , check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching .
