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 hit your daily protein goal — but does when you eat it actually matter? In this episode, we’re breaking down how protein timing can impact fat loss, muscle tone, and energy — especially if you’re already consistent with your nutrition.
You’ll learn how to space your meals for better results, when to eat protein around workouts, and why your late-night Greek yogurt might actually be helping more than you think.

I’m diving into the hidden habits that tank your energy (like “naked carbs,” sugary drinks, or under-eating all day), plus simple, realistic food strategies to help you feel steady, focused, and energized again.

If you’ve ever slashed calories, doubled your workouts, and tried to “fix” your body two weeks before a trip—only to end up bloated, exhausted, and frustrated once you get there—this episode is for you.
I’m breaking down what really happens when you panic diet before vacation, why the quick weight loss isn’t actually fat loss, and how that restriction sets you up to feel worse, not better. More importantly, I’ll walk you through a smarter way to prep so you can show up feeling strong, confident, and actually enjoy your time away—without the post-trip guilt.
