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.

🎙️ Episode: New Year Energy Without New Year Bullsh*t
Why you don’t need a reset — you need a system your body actually trusts
If you’re heading into January thinking “I’ll just start over” — this episode is your permission slip to stop blowing everything up and start doing this differently.
In this honest, slightly inappropriate, science-meets-real-life episode of The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast, Lindsey breaks down why January motivation fails, why perfection backfires, and what your body is actually responding to when progress feels hard.
This episode goes beyond food and workouts and into something most people never talk about: body trust.
Why your body resists change.
Why restriction creates rebellion.
Why your habits on hard days matter more than your motivated ones.
If you’ve ever felt like your body is “working against you,” this episode will flip that belief on its head.
👉 Listen if:
- You’re tired of “starting over” every January
- You eat well but still feel stuck
- You spiral after imperfect days
- You want results without hating your life
- You’re ready for a smarter, calmer approach to health
💥 Topics Covered:
- Why “starting over” keeps you stuck
- The 3-Point “I’m Not Starting Over” Plate (protein + fiber + color)
- Why perfection creates binge-restrict cycles
- How under-eating + stress confuse your body
- Real client proof: wine stayed, inches left
- Why clean eating isn’t working
- The weekend “leak” no one plans for
- The missing piece no one teaches: body trust and nervous system safety
- How your habits on hard days shape your results
🧠 The Big Takeaway:
Your body doesn’t respond to promises or motivation — it responds to patterns.
Consistency builds trust.
Trust creates change.
☕ Coffee & Chaos Tip of the Week:
You don’t need a reset. You need a repeatable system.
Stop abandoning yourself when things aren’t perfect — that’s where real progress is built.
