Dr Libby Weaver Nutritional, biochemist and multiple best-selling author talks with Angela about the three pillars of biochemical, nutritional and emotional which underpin her work and why our beliefs and perception drive our behaviours.

When we make choices about foods that don’t serve us it’s never about the food it’s the way we distance ourselves from the way we perceive things are when they are not how we want them to be and this fascinating episode explores how the combination of science, belief systems and nutrition is key in achieving effortless weight loss.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are consequences to shifts in our bio-chemistry
• There is no one way for everyone to eat because everyone is different. What everyone should do is eat a diet that is based on real wholefoods
• The focus needs to be on creating good energy and nourishment
• Detoxification is a process that is always going on inside of us but can be impacted by lifestyle choices
• Detoxification is a change process; the liver takes toxic substances  and changes them so that they become harmless
• Eating a wide range of whole real foods supports the liver with detoxification
• Constantly elevated stress levels start to change the fuel the body perceives as being safe to use
• When the body is under stress it looks for a fast-burning fuel and it looks to glucose.
• The pattern of adrenalin production  today has resulted in inflammatory compounds  in the body
• High levels of adrenalin create inflammation and cortisol has to increase to deal with this
• Your body responds to the information you give it
• Our actions are driven by our beliefs and how we perceive ourselves
• We construct ourselves and live as if we need approval and in unpacking the beliefs you have created you need to be flexible about how others perceive you
• You have to do the inner work if you want to make changes to your beliefs
• It’s never about the food its always about the emotions
• Humans will do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure
• Ask yourself if what you are thinking is really true?
