    Lots of great info!
    This podcast is such a joy because Rachel has SO much information to impart and she knows exactly what she’s talking about. I learn something in every episode and I’m so excited about all of it. Thanks for all you do!
  • Bekaboo1083
    Rachel is so intelligent
    I love listening to ALL of Rachel’s podcast I always get so much valuable information from them. I take her advice and I incorporate it in my daily life. I am now tracking my foods and I’m tracking my weights that I use and how many reps I’m doing as well. She has taught me to do everything with purpose.
  • Judie - Choose Don't Excuse
    Best Podcast for Women’s Health and Fitness
    Rachel is thorough, knowledgeable and has great guest interviews. She breaks down the nuances of overall health and fitness in very understandable bites.
  • Kimmie Whitman
    Great podcast for Coach’s and/or Personal Trainers!
    I love to listen to Rachel each week. She’s breaks down all of the scientific information and delivers it to the “Gen Pop” so it can be easily understood and implemented. All of her topics are very interesting and helpful for me especially being a nutrition coach myself and previous personal trainer. ;)
  • rbeit
    Great Information!
    Rachel’s podcast has helped me while transitioning away from keto and successfully adding in more carbs to build muscle! She is extremely knowledgeable on all things health and fitness!
  • Urbangal29
    Informative
    Love the show! Expert guests, but breaks it all down for the rest of us! ☺️
  • Ruffdog113
    Great podcast!
    This is one of my favorite podcasts Rachel is a great host, she hosts a lot of amazing guests, and her solo episodes are also very informative! The content is relevant and helpful, and I can’t recommend it enough!
  • Kfbbtd
    My must listen weekly pod
    I never miss an episode! Rachel has a good balance of topics and mixes up shows between interviews and Q&A. The content in this podcast has helped me in so many ways! It’s a must listen on my weekly rotation.
  • Anchor Your Life Design Co
    Ramble on…
    I tried to like this podcast, but I can’t listen to it anymore. Rachel rambles on, repeats herself and says “um” a LOT and she verbally acknowledges that she does this in the podcast! She also talks way too fast. If you are aware, what are you doing to make a change? The information is good and that why it’s unfortunate that I have to stop listening. She has had some good guests but needs to hone in on the interview questions to have the best experience possible. Good luck to you Rachel. I hope that you make some improvements to the show to attract more listeners.
  • EricaBushwell
    Awesome podcast!

  • Taylor_122
    One of my favorite Podcasts!!
    I look forward to this podcast each and every week. Rachael has a variety of guest and discuss topics that help me keep on track with my life and fitness journey. 100% recommend this podcast.
  • Ann Larsen, MS, LMT
    Metabolic Flexabilty, hormones, strength, and lifestyle
    Especially great for women. Rachel understands metabolic flexibility, carb cycling, ketogenic eating patterns, time restricted eating, and she focuses on female hormones. It’s a great resource. Good expert guests. Authentic. Thanks, Rachel! Ann Larsen, MS, LMT
  • lea me
    Most informative!
    This is currently one of my favorite podcasts, I feel that Rachel really shares all of the information without holding back. She is well-informed and has a ton of experience in many areas of diet and training. I have been on a ketogenic diet for a long time, and I may consider re-incorporating carbs at some point after listening to many of her podcasts. I would love to have one on one session with her!
  • MBaiss
    Very informative
    Awesome podcast. Rachel is very informative, brings quality and professional guests on to speak and has a wealth of information herself that can help you make sense of all the information there is out there on nutrition.
  • Microcrisp
    Ultimate Support for Nutrition, Fitness & Health
    Rachel covers all the up to date topics you want to learn facts and not myths about! I have used Keto to heal my body through nutrition over the last 3 years helping to reverse HBP and Type2 Diabetes. I have gained so much confidence and knowledge from listening to her over the years. She is able to focus on what you want to know as a women and the specifics of what makes our bodies respond in practical application. I recommend her to all of my friends, women or men who are trying to improve their bodies for the betterment of their health and fitness. A heartfelt Mahalo to a follower who has so much Aloha for you Rachel!

    Building a Stronger Body
    With so many conflicting advise out there it's hard to trust who is right. Rachel provides solid research in health, diet, and training minus all the dogma you get with restricted communities. This podcast really opened my mind and approach to building a strong body. I appreciate the tools she offers to troubleshoot your fitness stalls. I always learn something new with each episode and if I ever question something Rachel does a great job responsing. By far one of my favorite podcasts!
  • Juice Dale Flores Gray
    Great quality
    Good sources and guests. Really enjoy the show
  • Landerpander13
    Hooked
    I recently heard Rachel’s podcast highly recommended on another podcast I was enjoying. I was intrigued so I listened to one of her most recent podcasts and LOVED it! I then sent it to a group of my girlfriends. Rachel is very knowledgeable and helps to break things down in a simpler way to understand for people who love fitness and health but haven’t gone through all the schooling to learn every detail. Rachel also encourages me through her podcast to continue to work harder to be a healthier and fitter me.
  • Stressedmomma
    Helpful real life podcast
    I have been listening to this podcast since it began. The advice Rachel gives and the information she provides is so amazing. I can apply it to my real life experiences. And feel like she helps guide us in a direction that as well sustainable and goal oriented. I highly recommend any of Rachel's podcasts or her programs. Thank you Rachel for your great advice, information, and guidance through the crazy world of health and fitness
  • Juan_A1
    Rachel and her Metflix and Chill podcast are awesome!!
    Rachel’s podcast is amazing, so educational! Both her solo Q&A episodes and her episodes with great guests provide such a useful wealth of knowledge for fitness and nutrition, focusing on metabolic flexibility. I also really appreciate how Rachel translates scientific/technical topics into layman’s terms for practical use for all listeners to clearly understand so they can apply these concepts into their routines!
  • Sling box fan
    Authentic, down-to-earth nutrition and health advice
    You will really enjoy these fresh upbeat but low pressure nutrition and exercise discussions. Rachel does not burn time droning on but cuts to important facts around relevant topics. I highly recommend you try her podcasts. They are filled with science and her experience driven by her education. Note you will not need to speed up playback. 😉

  • shafferak
    Amazing
    If you love fact and hard science about nutrition and resistance training I get this is the podcast for you. Rachel is thoughtful and thorough in her interviews and episode notes.
  • DanielaBarton
    Fantastic podcast!
    I discovered Rachel recently and absolutely love the content. She is answering all my question before I can ask them. I joined her Women’s Muscle Science program and that is awesome as well! Thank you for all you do!
  • Marina Peregrino
    Can’t Get Enough!
    As someone who’s been on a low carb journey while trying to get more into strength training, this podcast is all encompassing! So much information in every episode while still being fun and easy to digest. I’m a personal trainer as well and I recommend it all the time to my clients who are wanting to learn more on their own. Keep up the awesome work Rachel!
  • Kgargano
    Super informative
    As someone who gets excited about health and fitness and the science behind it, I love listening to Rachel’s podcast. Tons of great info!
  • Latchinggg
    Great podcast.
    Very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition.
  • kwrislynn
    Amazing podcast!
    As a female firefighter who’s been training in CrossFit / Olympic lifting and functional bodybuilding for 10 years, I’ve learned more about optimizing training through this podcast than any other. Any woman looking to optimize her training would benefit from this podcast! Even those who are just starting their health and wellness journey can learn tons from Rachel and her awesome guests!
  • aeh008
    Love these podcasts!
    Always learn something new, and loved suggestions on how to push my limits through progressive overload and when go to max effort in this episode
  • Megher2
    Episode 88 - But listen to them all!
    I’ve been listening to Rachel’s podcast since the beginning and I learn something new every episode! This one focused on training to failure, and I really learned that there’s a big difference between going to failure on every exercise (whether mechanical or form) and getting CLOSE to failure. A couple 1-2 RIR will get you the real muscle building results you want, but actual failure is more prone to causing injury. So training to complete failure on every exercise everyday is probably more detrimental! So important to know!
  • c_roll77
    A lot to unpack here!
    In what can only be described as a dumpster fire of a year I sought to learn more about nutrition and muscle building while walking my way through the pandemic. I found Metflex through a series of Instagram recommendations and boy am I glad I did. I am constantly learning from stuff I should know, like keep track of your resistance training to see progress, to learning a whole new approach to fasting called Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF). I appreciate this content so much, the podcast features both interviews with experts on a variety of topics as well and q&a sessions with the host drawing on her vast knowledge as a coach.
  • loveland3031
    So much material helped me!
    Rachel always gives great material and insight on how to live your best life, how to optimize your health, simplifying so many concepts and how to choose what’s right for you in your health journey! I love it!
  • Dan Z123
    Rachel is an expert
    Rachel’s knowledge is vast. This podcast should be everyone’s go to for health advice!
  • Lowcarblara
    So much great information!
    I have enjoyed listening to Rachel’s podcast so much this summer! She is a wealth of knowledge and she has fantastic guests on their share their knowledge and secrets. I have had several burning questions answered that I was unable to find answers to anywhere else! I just download the Podcast before my outdoor walk and before I know it 3 miles are done! Such a great use of your time!
  • TerynR
    Great teacher and motivator
    Rachel has the ability to bring the most relevant and interesting topics to her podcast and breaks down complex information in a way that is easy to understand and apply. She is fun to listen to and always leaves me wanting more!!!!
  • Ajohnsonvball
    Super informative but fun to listen to!
    I have been following Rachel since she started her nutrition Instagram a few years back. I have always enjoyed all the content she has put out and this podcast is no exception. I love how she makes each concept easy to understand and applicable to my life.
  • Felice1112
    Great podcast. Love Rachel and her guests
    I have been listening from the beginning and always learn something new. This episode I took away some new information about Essential Amino Acids. Going to explore for more detail.
  • Annely H.
    Learning every episode
    I’ve followed Rachel for a while, but until recently, I started listening more of her podcast in a more consistent manner. I love them all! Even when it’s a subject I’m not super fond of or don’t know much about. I’ve been debating whether or not to start my online business and this episode let me see that although valuable, you don’t need all the education and degrees in the world to start something. Failure and experience will get you to succeed. Thanks Rachel!
  • MG_dontfearfat
    Fun and informative
    Love listening to Rachel's podcast. She's fun, keeps it real, and I always take away a few pearls from each episode. Amazing guests you've had on the show already - asking the questions we all want to know answers to! I have to admit I had a little giggle at you trying to figure out how to say "kitu" in the supercoffee episode :) You talked about having a new intro to the podcast but I actually like how you get straight into it!
  • johnnyomist
    Another quality listen!
    I enjoy Rachel’s podcasts because she backs up the products she uses by making connections & relationships with the people involved in this products and then has them on the show. The Evolution of Super Coffee is a perfect example of this. She always has interesting guests that range in their involvement in the nutrition space. Very clear and informative questions that provoke great conversation. In the Super Coffee pod, what really stuck out to me was when Jimmy said “you’re never going to be ready” meaning that any big decision will never feel like the right time so you may as well just go for it. Thanks for another great listen!
  • marissaleigh88
    Always informative!
    I enjoy listening to the Met Flex and chill podcast because as a fitness and wellness professional I am always looking for new knowledge to share with my clients and to test out myself. One thing I loved about the recent episode with Jimmy Decicco is how he talked about you need to take action because if you wait to be ready you will never get there. This was inspiring as I’d love to start my own fitness and health coaching business but struggle with wanting everything to be perfect before launching instead of learning as I go. Thanks Rachel! Keep bringing the awesome content to the podcast space!
  • Rrw77816
    Getting shredded broken down simply
    Rachel does a great job breaking down what you need to know/do to be able to really lean. The most impactful point she made that stuck with me is “Know your why”. Know why you want to get lean/shredded, not just “I want a six pack”, so that you have the motivation and incentive achieve your goal.
  • Bigredgirl77
    Being lean and shredded
    Just listened to your recent podcast about being lean and shredded. It made me feel better when you said being in this season isn’t sustainable long term for 99% of the people. I want to be lean and shredded, but then the pressure of thinking how I was going to stay there. It’s like you gave me permission to not be shredded 100% of the time!
  • kbryant3
    Non-caloric sweeteners
    Love the info about the sweet taste from non caloric sweeteners dampening the stress response just as well as sugar. Also love the info about ALL of the factors that go into getting ‘shredded’, not just nutrition and exercise!
  • Pwpthatsme
    Logan Delgado
    Loved this episode! I can totally relate and have discovered that embracing life to the fullest is much better than stressing over macros! 90/10 for the win!!
  • Lindachuk
    Love every podcast!
    Rachel has great guests. I love her solo podcast, I want to say the best, but I enjoy her guests too. All the podcasts have been very informative and helpful on my journey to being the best I can be.
