The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast
Welcome to The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast — the show where sweat, sarcasm, and science collide.
I’m Lindsey Petrangelo, APRN, CPT, and founder of InspireWellnessCo — a nurse practitioner with a passion for movement, gut health, hormones, and calling out the wellness industry’s bullshit (with humor, obviously).
This podcast is for those who are sick of quick fixes, sick of confusion, and ready to finally understand their bodies. You’ll get the real talk about health, fitness, gut stuff, hormones, mindset, and all the “taboo” topics no one else wants to say out loud — delivered with equal parts evidence and inappropriateness.
Whether we’re talking about poop, protein, or perimenopause, nothing’s off-limits here.
Expect stories, sarcasm, and strategies you can actually use to feel strong, confident, and human again — because being healthy doesn’t have to be boring, complicated, or perfect.
Grab your coffee, crank the volume, and let’s make getting healthy fun again.

Holiday Survival (Without Starting Over in January)
Holiday Survival (Without Starting Over in January)
December is here — which means your routine is about to get hit with a festive combination of chaos, cookies, late nights, stress, social events, skipped meals, and the annual hormonal rollercoaster you swear you didn’t sign up for.
This episode is your realistic, slightly inappropriate, science-backed survival guide for getting through the holidays without blowing up your progress OR falling into the “f*ck it, I’ll start over in January” trap.
Lindsey breaks down the 3 bare-minimum habits that keep your body from revolting, why being “good” in December always backfires, and how to support your hormones, gut, and sanity without restricting joy or turning into a wellness Grinch.
You’ll hear hilarious personal stories, real client wins (anonymous, but straight from their weekly check-ins), and the EXACT mindset shifts that allowed women in her programs to enjoy cookies, parties, and wine while reducing bloat, cravings, and stress.
👉 Listen if:
- You feel like December always derails your progress
- You stress-eat your face off when life gets chaotic
- You want to enjoy yourself without undoing everything
- You’re bloated, tired, overwhelmed, or ready to tap out
- You want a no-bullsh*t plan that actually works
💥 Topics Covered:
- The real reason you unravel in December (it’s not food)
- Why “screw it, it’s the holidays” wrecks your hormones
- The one client who kept cookies and STILL lost bloat
- How under-eating fuels your stress-eating
- Why sleep — not salad — prevents the “holiday 10”
- What to do the morning after a sugar + wine bender
- The nervous system tricks that calm cravings FAST
- The bare-minimum holiday habits that actually move the needle
☕ Coffee & Chaos Tip of the Week:
Trying to be perfect in December is the fastest way to start January pissed off.
Consistency > control. Sleep > salad. Protein > perfection.
