Liv Aligned Podcast
Liv Aligned Podcast is a holistic wellness podcast rooted in real life.
From nourishing food and low-tox living to parenting, community, and intentional health. This is a space for slowing down, tuning in, and "living aligned"
Formerly What the F…45!, the show has grown beyond workouts into a fuller picture of what it means to be well especially with a young family.
The What the F…45! podcast was rooted in fitness, strength, and our life owning F45 Hamilton Downtown. As our family, values, and health journey have grown, so has the podcast.
Liv Aligned is a natural next chapter for me (Amanda).
It is still grounded in nutrition and wellness, but with more space for real life, family, and holistic living! Hope you enjoy!
Here's what to expect:
- raw and honest conversations (not wellness perfection)
- practical nutrition and lifestyle tools for metabolic health and longevity
- grounded parenting and family life reflections
- local wellness voices and community stories
- encouragement to live well in a sustainable and realistic way
About Amanda :
I’ve been a certified holistic nutritionist since 2014 and have continued stacking certifications ever since. I specialize in everything from show-ready bodybuilding prep (I've competed too and won Novice Bikini in 2019) to integrative health, where I work with functional medicine labs like HTMA ( heavy metals), OAT (organic acids), hormone panels, omega fatty acids, and food sensitivity testing.
Movement is a huge part of my life, and I’m certified in Yoga, Acro Yoga, Pilates, Personal Training, and Fascial Stretch Therapy, so I take a full-body, whole-life approach to health. When I’m not coaching or with my family, you’ll usually find me cooking from scratch, baking sourdough, or making chocolate chip cookies. I truly believe food is medicine, and that slowing down to cook and eat real food together is one of the best ways to connect and feel our best.

Low-Tox Basics: The Simple (and Affordable) Swaps That Actually Matter
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve been wanting to “go low-tox” but feel completely overwhelmed by where to start, this episode is your roadmap.
Instead of overhauling your entire home, we’re simplifying it down to the three areas that actually move the needle most: clean air, clean water, and clean food. These are your foundations and getting these right can make a bigger impact than dozens of trendy swaps.
Inside this episode, I break down:
- Why low-tox living doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing
- The first changes to focus on for the biggest impact
- Simple, realistic swaps you can start today
- Budget-friendly options (including free and net-neutral upgrades)
- How to avoid the overwhelm and take a step-by-step approach that actually sticks
Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve gone down a few rabbit holes already, this episode will help you refocus on what matters most—and give you the confidence to take action without the stress.
