209 - Q&A: Hiking, Breakfast, Toned Arms & Coaching Truths

Cut The Crap With Beth And Matt

We’re live from Maine, celebrating Beth’s 10 years of sobriety with a week of hiking, including the infamous Mount Katahdin. Joined by Amy Rudolph from Team BFF, this episode is part celebration, part Q&A, and part hot topics roundtable. From food noise and dieting seasons, to the shocking reality of The Biggest Loser documentary, to the exploding lawsuits over Ozempic, we dig into the messiness of health, fitness, and diet culture.

We also field community questions about hiking safety, breakfast importance, weightlifting after 50, balancing running with strength training, and the hardest part about being a coach.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

- Behind the scenes of our upcoming Katahdin hike & why doing hard things matters.

- Food noise: why it shows up, what it means, and how to manage it.

- The Biggest Loser Netflix doc: the truth about extreme dieting and lasting metabolic damage.

- The $2B Ozempic lawsuit & the dangers of off-label prescribing.

- Q&A highlights:

• Rescue options on tough hikes

• Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?

• Where to start with lifting in your 50s

• Why chasing “toned arms” is about more than arm workouts

• Marathon training vs. strength training - what takes priority?

• How to handle outdated family diet advice without losing your sanity

• The most mentally taxing part of being a coach
