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.

In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise around carbs and supplements..two areas where so many women are confused, especially in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. You’ll learn why carbs are actually essential for energy, fat loss, and hormone balance, and how to make smarter choices without cutting them out. We also talk about the four supplements that actually make a difference for women in different life stages (hint: it’s not detox teas or fat burners).

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood concepts in the fitness world — reverse dieting. It’s the idea that eating more can actually help you lose fat, not gain it. Sounds wild, but if you’ve been stuck eating next to nothing and seeing zero results, this is exactly what you need to hear. I’ll explain why your metabolism adapts when you diet too long, how to rebuild it with food and strength training, what to expect as you increase calories, and why this process is the real key to sustainable fat loss — no starvation, no endless cardio, just smarter strategy.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked fat-loss hacks that has nothing to do with workouts or diets — it’s about what you do the rest of the day when you’re not in the gym. I’m talking about NEAT, the movement you do without realizing it that can make or break your results. You’ll learn how small daily actions like walking more, fidgeting, or even cleaning your house can burn hundreds of extra calories, why fat loss stalls when your movement drops, and how to use this simple strategy to finally break through plateaus — no extra workouts required.

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.
