The Elise Tzurkov Podcast

• WHEN and WHY You Should Hire A Coach

  Part 1: When Is the Right Time?Let’s be real — there’s never a “perfect” time to take care of you,especially during perimenopause or menopause. We tell ourselves, “I’ll start when I lose the weight… when I have more time… when I have extra money.” But most of the time, that’s just fear talking — fear of failing, fear of change, fear of actually putting yourself first. The truth is, waiting only keeps you stuck. The right time isn’t someday — it’s now. You’ll never regretchoosing yourself, your health, and the version of you who finally feels strong and confident again.Part2: Why Hire a Coach?Because you’ve tried doing it alone — and look where that’s gotten you. A coach isn’t just someone who gives you workouts or meal plans; she’s your mirror, your motivator, your reality check. She helps you cut through the noise, call out your excuses, and push past the limits you’ve been living under. You don’t have to figure this out by yourself — not anymore. This stage of life isn’t about shrinking or settling; it’s about rising. And a coach will help you rise faster, stronger, and more confident than you ever thought possible.The FUNCTIONALLY FIT METHOD: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-methodNewsletter:FunctionallyFitwithElisehttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletterFREE RESOURCES:Click below for a great FREEBIE  on how to lose that extra belly weight:(MenoBelly Freebie) https://functionallyfitwithelise.ck.page/menobelly-blasterClick below for a MACRO GUIDE FREEBIE - a guide to understanding, setting, and tracking macroshttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/how-to-macro-guideFunctionally Fit Over 40 Workouts: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-over-40-workoutsMacro Calculator for Functionally Fit with EliseSLEEP HYGIENE RESOURCE:  CLICK HEREDISCOUNT CODES FOR PRODUCTS I ACTUALLY USE:Oats (Elise’s Favourite Breakfast) https://www.proateinmealz.com/  DISCOUNT CODE “ELISE10” to saveLEGION SUPPLEMENTS:https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/wverpDISCOUNT CODE:   “Elise” to save 20%OTHER PLACES YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ME:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-C59WrT5jB5dgr0pOhVtAPodcast Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/etzurkovPodcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-elise-tzurkov-podcast/id1778056130Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=enFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/Website: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/Pinterest:  https://ca.pinterest.com/elisetzurkov/Supportive Episode:Important vs Priority: What’s REALLY holding you back with David Priemer YouTube: https://youtu.be/5IpOH8WVgzc Important vs Priority: What’s REALLY holding you back with David Priemer Spotify Episode:  https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/3F8p7niJbYb Important vs Priority: What’s REALLY holding you back with David Priemer Apple Podcast Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/important-vs-priority-are-you-aligned-whats-really/id1778056130?i=1000723859188

• Why I SUCKED At Being SKINNY

  In this episode, I open up about my journey from wanting tobe skinny to learning to love my strong body. As women in perimenopause and menopause, chasing skinny often costs us our energy, hormones, and peace of mind. I’m no longer willing to diet down or obsess over every macro—this phase of life calls for balance, not extremes. My focus now is on feeling strong,flexible, and vibrant while managing family, work, and hormonal changes. Health isn’t about shrinking our bodies—it’s about supporting them so we can thrive inside and out. Let’s redefine what feeling our best really means.The FUNCTIONALLY FIT METHOD: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-methodNewsletter:FunctionallyFitwithElisehttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletterFREE RESOURCES:Click below for a great FREEBIE  on how to lose that extra belly weight:(MenoBelly Freebie) https://functionallyfitwithelise.ck.page/menobelly-blasterClick below for a MACRO GUIDE FREEBIE - a guide to understanding, setting, and tracking macroshttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/how-to-macro-guideFunctionally Fit Over 40 Workouts: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-over-40-workoutsMacro Calculator for Functionally Fit with EliseSLEEP HYGIENE RESOURCE:  CLICK HEREDISCOUNT CODES FOR PRODUCTS I ACTUALLY USE:Oats (Elise’s Favourite Breakfast) https://www.proateinmealz.com/  DISCOUNT CODE “ELISE10” to saveLEGION SUPPLEMENTS:https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/wverpDISCOUNT CODE:   “Elise” to save 20%OTHER PLACES YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ME:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-C59WrT5jB5dgr0pOhVtAPodcast Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/etzurkovPodcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-elise-tzurkov-podcast/id1778056130Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=enFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/Website: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/Pinterest:  https://ca.pinterest.com/elisetzurkov/Supportive Episodes:  Redefining Restriction Spotify Episode: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/u89eNjFTdXb Redefining Restriction Apple Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redefining-restriction/id1778056130?i=1000700746176 Redefining Restriction YouTube Episode: https://youtu.be/LlcJm57GTvE?si=O-_7gBe4HtG36kZa Eat, Pray, Love:  TheSummer That CHANGED ME YouTube Episode: https://youtu.be/in-31Ad5APE Eat, Pray, Love Apple Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eat-pray-love-from-chaos-to-calm-the-summer-that/id1778056130?i=1000725683430 Eat, Pray, Love Spotify Podcast:  https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/etzurkov/episodes/Eat--Pray--Love---From-Chaos-to-Calm--The-Summer-that-CHANGED-me--From-e37vc59/a-ac57eg8

• Why 90 Days ISN'T Enough

  In this episode, I’m getting real about weight loss in perimenopause and menopause. I’ll share how long it really took me to lose the weight—and what I’ve learned coaching women in the FFWE program about what sustainable transformation actually looks like. Spoiler: 90 days isn’t enough. Quick fixes might bring fast results, but they won’t create lasting change—or the confident, strong woman you want to be long term. Let’s talk about what it really takes to losethe weight and keep it off for good.The FUNCTIONALLY FIT METHOD: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-methodNewsletter:FunctionallyFitwithElisehttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletterFREE RESOURCES:Click below for a great FREEBIE  on how to lose that extra belly weight:(MenoBelly Freebie) https://functionallyfitwithelise.ck.page/menobelly-blasterClick below for a MACRO GUIDE FREEBIE - a guide to understanding, setting, and tracking macroshttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/how-to-macro-guideFunctionally Fit Over 40 Workouts: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-over-40-workoutsMacro Calculator for Functionally Fit with EliseSLEEP HYGIENE RESOURCE:  CLICK HEREDISCOUNT CODES FOR PRODUCTS I ACTUALLY USE:Oats (Elise’s Favourite Breakfast) https://www.proateinmealz.com/  DISCOUNT CODE “ELISE10” to saveLEGION SUPPLEMENTS:https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/wverpDISCOUNT CODE:   “Elise” to save 20%OTHER PLACES YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ME:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-C59WrT5jB5dgr0pOhVtAPodcast Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/etzurkovPodcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-elise-tzurkov-podcast/id1778056130Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=enFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/Website: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/Pinterest:  https://ca.pinterest.com/elisetzurkov/Supportive Episodes:  Redefining Restriction Spotify Episode: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/u89eNjFTdXb Redefining Restriction Apple Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redefining-restriction/id1778056130?i=1000700746176 Redefining Restriction YouTube Episode: https://youtu.be/LlcJm57GTvE?si=O-_7gBe4HtG36kZa Redefining Hard YouTube: https://youtu.be/uw1t0_-3gXoRedefining Hard Spotify: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/1UEBA9ygYUb Redefining Hard Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redefining-hard/id1778056130?i=1000697630164

• Is SOMETHING Actually Better Than NOTHING?

  In perimenopause and menopause, the shit you do matters… and the shit you don’t do matters even more.  Too often we get trapped in an all-or-nothing mindset — thinking if we can’t do itperfectly, it’s not worth doing at all. But that’s the trap that keeps you stuck.  This episode dives into why doing something is always better than doing nothing when it comes to your health, energy, and weight loss during this stage of life. Forget perfection — focus on progress.  It’s about small, sustainable steps that add up to big change and help you become the strong, confident woman you’re meant to be.Newsletter:FunctionallyFitwithElisehttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletterFREE RESOURCES:Click below for a great FREEBIE  on how to lose that extra belly weight:(MenoBelly Freebie) https://functionallyfitwithelise.ck.page/menobelly-blasterClick below for a MACRO GUIDE FREEBIE - a guide to understanding, setting, and tracking macroshttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/how-to-macro-guideFunctionally Fit Over 40 Workouts: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-over-40-workoutsMacro Calculator for Functionally Fit with EliseSLEEP HYGIENE RESOURCE:  CLICK HEREDISCOUNT CODES FOR PRODUCTS I ACTUALLY USE:Oats (Elise’s Favourite Breakfast) https://www.proateinmealz.com/  DISCOUNT CODE “ELISE10” to saveLEGION SUPPLEMENTS:https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/wverpDISCOUNT CODE:   “Elise” to save 20%OTHER PLACES YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ME:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-C59WrT5jB5dgr0pOhVtAPodcast Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/etzurkovPodcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-elise-tzurkov-podcast/id1778056130Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=enFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/Website: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/Pinterest:  https://ca.pinterest.com/elisetzurkov/Supportive Episodes:  Everything (ya, everything) Counts YouTube: https://youtu.be/GCVNG9xh2Fg?si=eLu22mXZUa1ehjcW Everything (ya, everything) Counts Spotify: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/Q49wq4TDUVb Everything (ya, everything) Counts Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/lc/podcast/everything-ya-everything-counts/id1778056130?i=1000681559705 BLT’s (Bites, Licks & Tastes) Spotify: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/TCKMc3BojUb BLT’s (Bites, Licks & Tastes) YouTube: https://youtu.be/PqnhipJp390 BLT’s (Bites, Licks & Tastes) Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blts-bites-licks-tastes/id1778056130?i=1000712215341 Good, Better, Best Spotify: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/uoMd59URPXbGood, Better, Best Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/good-better-best/id1778056130?i=1000677500722 Good, Better, Best YouTube Episode: https://youtu.be/2rNlOXBUPoM
