In this episode of The Forge Podcast, the Forge Female Fitness Coaches Grace, JoJo and Sarah, explore how what we eat impacts how we feel.

From blood sugar crashes and under-fuelling to gut health and emotional eating, this conversation dives deep into the powerful connection between food and mood. You’ll learn how nutrition affects stress, focus, sleep, and energy, and why balanced meals rich in protein and micronutrients can completely change your mental wellbeing.

This one’s packed with practical, no-nonsense advice to help you fuel better, feel stronger, and support both your body and your mind.

Your gut isn’t just about digestion, it’s running the show. From mood and motivation to metabolism and hormones, the trillions of bacteria in your gut are influencing how you feel, think, and perform every single day.

They’ll unpack the latest science in a way that actually makes sense, from why stress wrecks your digestion to how strength training can boost your microbiome and hormones at the same time.

Whether you’re struggling with low energy, constant cravings, or feeling “off” despite doing everything right, this episode will help you connect the dots between your gut, your brain, and your results.
