The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast
If you've tried all the fad diets and are sick and tired of not achieving your health and fitness goals long-term, you've come to the right place! Welcome to the Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast with me, Kristy Castillo. I'm here to help you break the annoying diet cycle, gain confidence, and reach your health and fitness goals.
This podcast will show you how to be proud of the body you have, build the body you want, and enjoy the process along the way. I'll cover topics like how to get the most from your workouts, the importance of feeding your body what it needs, and key mindset shifts that will empower you. I've broken through the BS surrounding diet culture and built my dream body, all while being a busy wife, Mom and business owner, and I know you can too!

241. Client Story: How Julie Lost 30 Pounds, Built Muscle, and Changed Her Mindset

I am so excited to feature one one of my Unf*ck Your Fitness clients, Julie, to talk about her fitness journey over the last three years!
Julie came to me feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, underfed, and stuck. She had recently changed jobs, was navigating a new ulcerative colitis diagnosis, had gained weight, and knew she wanted to feel like herself again…but she had no idea where to start.
We talk about what it felt like for her to learn macros, reverse diet, start strength training, and finally understand that body recomposition is not a quick fix. It took time, trust, consistency, and a lot of mindset work.
Julie shares what helped her most, how she learned to stop chasing perfection, why the scale and progress pictures were so frustrating, and how she has lost around 30 pounds while building muscle, confidence, and a completely different relationship with fitness.
This is such an honest conversation about what real change actually looks like: the messy beginning, the slow progress, the hard weeks, the mindset shifts, and the moment you realize you are not the same person anymore.
In this episode, we cover:
- What it was like to reverse diet after barely eating enough
- Why body recomposition takes time
- How long it took her to start noticing changes
- Why the scale and progress pictures can feel so frustrating
- What helped her move away from all-or-nothing thinking
- How macros gave her more flexibility and confidence
- Navigating fitness while dealing with real-life health issues
- What has changed physically, mentally, and emotionally
