Free n’ Fit
Welcome to the Free n’ Fit podcast! I’m Martina Raskova, and I’m here to raise awareness about unhealthy relationships with food, eating disorders, and why diets don’t work. Having personally struggled with an eating disorder for 12 years, I’m very passionate about helping people understand that nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated. You absolutely do not have to follow a restricted diet or eat plain meals to achieve your dream body. If you are ready, let’s dive into it! Join me as we talk about breaking free from the yo-yo diet cycle and discovering how to enjoy your favorite foods while getting into the best shape of your life. I’ll also talk about how I transformed from someone struggling with self-esteem and body image issues to a coach who, together with my team, has guided over 500 people in changing how they view food, health, fitness, and nutrition. Moreover, I’ll share some things I’ve kept to myself for a while out of fear of judgment. I want to be completely honest because i know that so many people battle with unhealthy food relationships but feel scared to talk about it, just like I did for the longest time.

You might think eating less is the key to losing weight, but sometimes the real reason you’re stuck is because you’re not eating enough. In this episode, we talk about what happens when your body’s running on empty — low energy, stalled progress, constant cravings, and feeling moody or flat for no reason. I’ll walk you through how to spot the signs that you actually need more food, how to fuel better without gaining weight, and why eating enough is one of the most powerful things you can do for your metabolism, hormones, and long-term fat loss.

Cutting carbs can actually raise your cortisol and make fat loss harder, especially after 35. It slows your thyroid, tanks your sleep, raises cravings, and can even lead to muscle loss and blood sugar crashes. Most women end up eating less, doing more cardio, and feeling stuck — not because they’re doing it wrong, but because their body’s stressed out. Instead of fearing carbs, you need to fuel your metabolism, lift weights, balance your meals, and work with your hormones — not against them.

Most women think they know how much they’re eating — but portion sizes are sneaky. In this episode, I break down why a food scale is one of the most underrated tools for fat loss, muscle building, and overall confidence with food. We’ll talk about the real differences between eyeballing vs. weighing, why tracking doesn’t mean obsession, and how a scale can actually free you from second-guessing. If you’ve ever wondered why your results don’t match your effort, this conversation will change how you look at your plate.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real signs that it’s time to take a diet break—and why pushing harder in a calorie deficit can sometimes backfire. We’ll cover how low energy, poor sleep, constant hunger, mood swings, and stalled progress are all signals your body needs more fuel, not less. You’ll also learn what a smart, strategic diet break actually looks like, and how it can help restore your metabolism, hormones, and training performance. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this conversation will show you why stepping back might be the exact move you need to move forward.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to build muscle without piling on fat — the science of lean gains made simple. You’ll learn exactly how much of a calorie surplus you actually need (hint: it’s way less than you think), who can build muscle in a deficit, and why protein, carbs, and smart resistance training are non-negotiable. Plus, I’ll share how to track progress without obsessing so you can finally grow the toned physique you want without fear of “bulking up.”

Whether you’re on your own fertility journey, dreaming about motherhood, or just curious about what it’s been like for me, this episode is from the heart.
