The STEW Project

I make it easy for people to reduce overwhelm, manage their health, find balance & enjoy life again.

Hi, I’m Amber Stewart! 💪✨ Owner of The STEW Project, I help people unlock their full potential through wellness. With 11 years as an Exercise Physiologist, I realized true transformation comes from addressing life’s stressors at the core. Now, I coach others using my 4-step Stress Alchemy framework to overcome obstacles in any area of their life and thrive!

Focusing on how to eat—your habits, mindset, and awareness—can be more powerful than simply focusing on what to eat.

I’ve seen it time and again: clients don’t thrive with a rigid meal plan or a cookie-cutter workout. Instead, what truly changes lives is learning to slow down, tune into your body, and make empowered choices.

Slowing down to become aware of our physical and emotional cues can mean that we notice things we would rather not (such as our stress levels, relationship difficulties, or boredom), so we may want avoid this discomfort and what feels like uncertainty and jump ahead to what to eat. But with practice you can learn to trust the body you may not have trusted for many years, and to intuitively read cues that you may have forgotten.

That’s why I created Mind-Body Mastery to help you move beyond rules and into self-trust, freedom, and lasting transformation. 💫

In 8 weeks, you'll be able to take responsibility, befriend your body, and finally break free from the 'diet mindset' of excessive rules, counting calories, restriction, and guilt.

Are you ready to shift from diets and deprivation to mindful mastery? Right now take 25% off enrollment through September 30th during my Fall into Wellness Special! 🍂

👉 DM me “Mind-Body” for details, or visit thestewproject.com/mind-body-mastery
to get started today.

Make this the season you finally step into food freedom and self-trust. I hope this helps! 💫

Between demanding jobs and personal hurdles, modern life can really drain us, mentally, physically and emotionally.

But not all stress is bad. While distress weakens the mind, body and spirit, eustress offers the right kind of pressure that fuels your growth. And how we react to stress can determine whether it is working for us or against us.

Yes, we actually have the power to "reboot" our brains and bodies to handle stress way better, turning it from something that knocks us down into a chance to grow and bounce back stronger.

✨ Mentally → Rewiring your thoughts helps you see challenges as growth, not threats.
💪 Physically → Your body stores stress so the right movement, breathwork and rest can reset your nervous system.
🌱 Spiritually → Slowing down and reconnecting to something bigger than yourself brings balance.

When you combine all 3, you stop just “managing” stress… and start thriving through it.

👉 Ready to rewire? My Stress Alchemy course will guide you through a simple a mind-body-spirit approach to transform stress into strength, no matter how busy your schedule is.

✨ If you’re ready to rewire your response to stress, DM me the words 'Stress Alchemy' for more info or visit thestewproject.com/stress-alchemy-course for more details.

Meal plans often fail because we don’t just eat for nutrition.

Sure, nutrients matter, but our food choices are also shaped by taste, emotions, culture, access, and even our beliefs.

Think about it: after a stressful day, a life curveball, or a special celebration… do you really want a plate of plain chicken and brown rice?

When we ignore these layers and cling to rigid “rules,” it’s easy to grow resentful, fall off track, and slide back into old habits.

Want to dump diets for good and learn how to build a relationship with food that’s flexible, intuitive, and aligned with your lifestyle... in 8 weeks??

Then head on over to thestewproject.com/mind-body-mastery which will allow you to experience food freedom without the rigid rules. I hope this helps!

Although this is true, sometimes the right plan makes all the difference—especially if you’ve been putting in the work for months (or even years) and still aren’t seeing the results you want.

That’s why I created The STEW Project’s Signature Workouts. They’re not random exercises thrown together. They’re carefully designed programs rooted in corrective exercise science, performance coaching, and real-life results.

💡 With these workouts, you’ll:
✔️ Know exactly what to do and why
✔️ Build habits that are sustainable long-term
✔️ Finally see progress without spinning your wheels

Because when consistency meets the right plan—that’s when transformation happens.

👉 Check out the new Signature Workouts at thestewproject.com and start moving toward the results you’ve been working so hard for.

Do you constantly find yourself saying how you’re too busy, stressed, or have “no time” to exercise?

Then listen up!

You’ve been told to “build muscle to boost your metabolism”… but here’s the truth 👇🏽

💪 1 lb of muscle burns ~6 calories/day at rest.
💤 But 1 lb of fat burns ~2.3 calories/day.

So even if you gained 22 lbs of muscle, you’d only burn ~130 more calories/day which is about a 6% bump. Doesn’t sound like a big deal I know 🙄

But the real calorie burn is actually when you move. 🏃‍♀️

During a squat, jump, or lunge, muscles can use 300x more energy than they do lying down. So if you’re waiting for the “perfect” time or “perfect” workout…stop.

It’s always gonna be something standing in your way of your goals. So learn how to adapt so you can stay consistent even through the ebb and flows of life.

Need help? My Stress Alchemy course shows you how to improve your health and life even you're too busy, stressed out or tired. Group coaching kicks off on labor day.

If you want to save your spot then message me the words "Stress Alchemy" to sign up for my waiting list or visit thestewproject.com/stress-alchemy-course for more details. I hope this helps!

Ever noticed that when you're stressed out, your appetite either disappears—or turns into a bottomless pit?
That’s not random. It’s physiology.

Acute stress (like an argument or accident) suppresses hunger.
Chronic stress (like a draining job or life imbalance) increases it, especially cravings for sugar, salt, and comfort.

And if you’re someone who skips breakfast? Your body might still be in “fight or flight” mode when you wake up.

This isn’t about willpower, and it’s definitely not about shame. It’s about understanding how your body responds to stress and learning how to work with it, not against it. When you give your nervous system what it needs, your hunger, energy, and mood naturally start to rebalance.

Need help? I have 2 options for you!

If you’re ready to reconnect with your body and better manage stress, my Mind-Body Mastery course is a great place to start. It's self-paced, practical, and designed to help you reset.

Want more structure, accountability, and live support? My next round of Stress Alchemy group coaching starts Labor Day which is perfect if you know stress is standing between you and your wellness goals.

Fall often brings big changes: new work demands, shifting schedules, less sunlight, and more to juggle. And for many people, that means hitting pause on their health until things “settle down.”

But you don’t have to take an all-or-nothing approach. You can still make progress, even when life feels chaotic. In fact, here are 4 tips to help you stay aligned with your wellness goals, even when your routine shifts:

1. Give yourself time to adjust - When your schedule changes, your body needs time to find a new rhythm. Be patient. Progress doesn’t require a perfect routine, just one that feels consistent and doable.

2. Keep your meal timing consistent - Even if your wake/sleep cycle shifts, try to keep similar spacing between meals (e.g. lunch 4 hours after breakfast). This keeps your metabolism, blood sugar, and hunger cues in balance.

3. Prioritize sleep and nutrition FIRST before rushing back into workouts -
Poor sleep disrupts hunger hormones, increases cravings, and elevates stress.
Stabilizing your sleep and meals first builds a strong foundation, making it easier to reintroduce movement without overwhelm or low energy.

4. Make small, flexible commitments - Let go of rigid routines. Instead, do what’s realistic right now: If all you can do is prep for 2 meals or go for a 10-min walk, do it!
Small wins build momentum which is more powerful than perfection.

It becomes easier to stay on track when you know how to balance the 4 pillars of health:
💤 Sleep
🍎 Nutrition
🏃🏽‍♀️ Physical Activity
🧠 Mindset & Stress Resilience

When these work together, your metabolism improves. - Even when seasons of change.

Need more support?
This fall, I have two options to help you manage your health and your life:

🔥 One will help you create structure and finally see wellness results

🔥 The other will give you the tools, structure, and support you need to not only see results, but actually stay consistent.

Emotional labor is the unseen effort of managing others’ feelings, keeping the peace, and navigating unspoken expectations. For busy professionals and entrepreneurs, this constant mental and emotional load can be draining—leading to stress, burnout, and even making it harder to prioritize personal health and fitness goals. When your mind is exhausted, finding the energy for self-care becomes a struggle.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to carry it all alone. The weight of emotional labor is real—but so is the power of boundaries. 💙

Let’s talk about it. Click the link below and read my latest blog post to learn how to lighten the load and protect your well-being. 👇
