The Top 10 Must-Dos for Women to Reset Their Body, Boost Energy & Burn Fat

Inspired by The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Stacy Sims (shared with us by a client taking her journey to the next level)

At StrongSelves, we’ve been ahead of the curve when it comes to women’s health, fitness, and self-empowerment. So when Mel Robbins dropped a powerhouse podcast featuring Dr. Stacy Sims called “The Body Reset: How Women Should Eat & Exercise for Health, Fat Loss, & Energy,” we were thrilled—but not surprised—to hear everything we’ve been preaching laid out as the new leading edge in women’s health science.

Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 must-dos from the episode—and how StrongSelves has already built them into every class, every program, and every coaching session we offer.

1. Ditch the “Shrink Yourself” Mindset

We don’t train women to get smaller—we train you to get stronger. Our programs are about building confidence, not chasing a number on the scale. Whether it’s working on the mirror after a workout, meeting with your life coach or writing in your journal, you’re here to take up space.

2. Eat Before You Work Out

Our hands on personalized nutrition coaching encourages fueling your body before workouts to support energy, recovery, and hormone balance. Life hack: a protein coffee, 30g of protein in one cup, ditch the sugar and make the cup work for your goals!

3. Prioritize Protein—Especially at Breakfast

Our Health-Esteem programs emphasize balanced meals with high-quality protein to stabilize hormones, boost metabolism, and support lean muscle growth at every age.

4. Lift Heavy, Often

From our level 1 pelvic floor program to our level 5 program, we encourage lifting weights with intention and intensity. We have pink dumbbell racks at StrongSelves, because we lift like goddesses.

5. Cycle Your Workouts With Your Hormones

We teach our women to listen to their bodies. Whether you're in your follicular fire or your luteal slow-down, we help you adjust, not shame yourself for being human. We also work with local wellness spas and doctors to help you get in front of other women who are willing to listen and help you figure out what’s going on with you internally.

6. Rethink Stress and Recovery

Our coaching goes beyond workouts—we prioritize mental health, sleep hygiene, and stress management as part of the journey to full-body wellness. Including offering our community of women alternative approaches to stress management with our zen Sunday series classes.

7. Create a Female-Centric Fitness Environment

This is our superpower. We are by women, for women. Our community is sacred. It’s a space to be real, raw, sweaty, sensual, and supported every damn day. There’s nothing like having a circle of women who don’t judge you and truly want to see you succeed.

8. Don’t Fear Carbs—Time Them Right

We help women build healthy, nourishing relationships with food. Carbs are not the enemy—they’re fuel. And we teach you how to use them to energize your workouts and your life. We do not do dieting, we do lifestyle changes, alternatives and healthy eating habit building.

9. Adapt Your Routine as You Age

Whether you’re in your 20s or in the middle of a perimenopausal rebirth or post menopausal StrongSelves helps you evolve with your body. Because women’s needs change—and we honor that.

10. Fuel Your Body to Feel Alive, Not Just Fit In

Everything we do at StrongSelves is built around health-esteem—not just aesthetics. You’re not here to blend in. You’re here to rise, reset, and reclaim your power (what ever that means specifically for each woman).

Ahead of the Game—And Proud of It

It’s powerful to see that what we’ve built at StrongSelves is now being confirmed as the future of women’s health.

While the world is just catching up, our women have been doing it here. They’ve been lifting, fueling, connecting with their body, and owning their power—because this is the new standard.

We don’t follow trends.

We create women movements.
