About The Bite Size Podcast with Lorayne Michaels

Welcome to Armor Up! This is a podcast dedicated to building a strong, resilient body from the inside out—physically, metabolically, and mentally. Hosted by certified personal trainer and wellness coach Lorayne Michaels, this show dives into functional medicine, functional nutrition, strength training, and sustainable lifestyle practices that support real health—not quick fixes. Through solo episodes and expert interviews, Armor Up breaks down complex topics like hormones, metabolism, inflammation, gut health, muscle building, fat loss, nervous system regulation, and longevity into practical, evidence-based strategies you can actually apply to daily life. This podcast is for women who are tired of extremes, overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, and ready to take ownership of their health with clarity and confidence. Expect honest conversations, science-backed education, and actionable tools that help you fuel your body properly, train with intention, and build habits that last. Armor Up isn’t about perfection—it’s about preparation. Strength is built, health is learned, and resilience is trained. This is where you equip your body to do what it was designed to do: function well, adapt, and thrive.
