In this episode of the Beyond Body Show, Jen explains what a build phase is and why staying in a calorie deficit may be the thing keeping you from the physique you want. She breaks down why you can't optimally build muscle in a sustained deficit, how chronic dieting slows your metabolism and costs you muscle, and how to tell whether you need less body fat or more muscle. She covers who benefits most from a build, the difference between a dirty bulk and a lean build, and how to measure progress when the scale stops being the main goal. She also walks through double progression and how food, steps, cardio, HIIT and recovery should shift during a build.

Is alcohol really that bad for your progress?
In this episode of the Beyond Body Show, Jen breaks down what alcohol actually does to your fat loss, recovery and body composition, without telling you what to do with your weekends. She explains why your body puts fat burning and muscle protein synthesis on pause while the liver processes alcohol, why alcohol calories are easy to underestimate, and how even low doses disrupt the deep sleep where your body repairs muscle. She covers what the research says about drinking after resistance training, why the damage is cumulative rather than one bad night, and how to track your real patterns. She also shares five practical strategies for making smarter choices around alcohol, and why she hasn't had a drink in almost two years.

Periods, Cycle Syncing, and Staying On Track in Your Luteal Phase
Jen breaks down the four phases of the menstrual cycle and why the luteal phase in particular tends to derail consistency for so many women. She explains the real physiology behind luteal-phase hunger, cravings, and mood shifts (rising BMR, dropping serotonin), covers PMDD and why under-eating makes it worse, and debunks popular cycle-syncing advice by looking at what the research actually says about training and performance across your cycle. She closes with a practical luteal-phase nutrition protocol she uses with her own clients.
