Between 2 Pastries

We discuss the complexity around fueling with sport and the curiosity of why athletes still choose not too and continue to suffer with hydration and fuel related nuances.

Listen in as Brooke discusses her quest to smash the stigma of mental health, in addition to her own journey with mental illness.

You can find Brooke at www.smashingstigmas.com as well as on instagram and facebook @brookemllermha. In addition, feel free to email her at [email protected]

Inspired by another image perpetuating potential negative body image, we unpack the observation that so many of us are more externally focused than internally centered. So dependent on outside validation, aligning with how we see others do things or say things and less aligned with what feels true for us....listen in as we recite a few recent examples and make other suggestions.

About Dr.Vicki:
There are many health conditions--ranging from joint and muscle pain to migraines and low libido-- that impact the lives of women (and often men too). Many doctors fail to listen to patients and get to the root cause of their problems, but one doctor, a top-ranked OB/GYN with nearly 35 years of practice experience, not only looks at the hormone connection but has made it her mission to raise awareness of it! That Doctor is Victoria J, Mondloch. As the cover of her second book, Full Bloom says, we must all learn “The Ground-Breaking Truth about Your Hormones & Health.” This remarkable doctor will be returning to Close Up Radio this fall to discuss her theories, case studies, and research into health and wellness solutions that can keep us more balanced, effective, healthy and youthful.

Dr. Mondloch listens to patients so well that they view her as a partner and ally, and most refer to her as Doctor Vicki. As her website notes, she aims to empower patients, work together on diagnoses, partner in care and treatment, and discover the best steps to take towards optimal health. Often the key is hormone balancing, something the doctor herself learned when she had various skin and auto-immune symptoms back at the peri-menopausal stage. Since balancing, she looks younger and is more vital than her 67 years and has never sweated or lost sleep over menopausal grief. Now, the doctor is always looking ahead to the next option, always exploring innovative ways to help people feel better and live happier.

A patient named Kathleen remarked “I had many unrelated medical problems which were difficult because I needed a different doctor for each issue. Since going with Dr. Mondloch, she has treated them all and improved my quality of life.” Another form of testimonial is when clients bring their teenage daughters along—and they learn how the hormones that impact us one way in puberty can have devastating consequences as women move into their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and onward (which is how the case studies in the Full Bloom book are grouped.)

Beyond her recognition and accolades from patients, Dr. Mondloch was 4-star rated by US News and World Reports and named Best in Medicine by the American Health Council, each authority honoring her for her achievements in the Women’s Health specialty.

Female/Male Triad Info - https://femaleandmaleathletetriad.org/

Oftentimes people will associate a certain food with "weight gain". When the reality is that there isn't one food that is directly related to instantly gaining weight. When the body needs to put weight on, in the example of "re-feeding" from under fueling for too long, then the body will use anything it can to help build the body back up. Behavior, mindset, beliefs and distorted thoughts can contribute to weight changes, more than a single food. Aim for balance in intake each day by including all foods - whole foods and fun foods alike.

STOPP !
Just pause for a moment

TAKE A BREATH
Notice your breathing as you breath in and out - use 7/11 breathing technique

OBSERVE
What thoughts are going through your mind right now?

Where is your focus of attention?

What are you reacting to?

What sensations do you notice in your body?

PULL BACK - PUT IN SOME PERSPECTIVE
What's the bigger picture?

Take the helicopter view.

What is another way of looking at this situation?

What advice would I give a friend?

What would a trusted friend say to me right now?

Is this thought a fact or opinion?

What is a more reasonable explanation?

How important is this? How important will it be in 6 months time?

It will pass.

PRACTISE WHAT WORKS - PROCEED
What is the best thing to do right now?

Best for me, for others, for the situation?

What can I do that fits with my values?

Do what will be effective and appropriate.

HOW TO USE STOPP
Practise the first two steps often for a few days - many times every day at any time.

Read through the steps often.

Carry written reminders with you (use the printable resources below).

Practise STOPP by running through all the steps several times a day, every day...when you don't need it.

Start to use it for little upsets.

Gradually, you will find that you can use it for more distressing situations. Like any new habit or skill, it will become automatic over time.

THE STEPS EXPLAINED
STOP!
Say it to yourself, in your head, as soon as you notice your mind and/or your body is reacting to a trigger.

Stop! helps to put in the space between the stimulus (the trigger, whatever we are reacting to) and our response.

The earlier you use STOPP, the easier and more effective it will be.

TAKE A BREATH
Breathing a little deeper and slower will calm down and reduce the physical reaction of emotion/adrenaline.

Focusing on our breathing means we are not so focused on the thoughts and feelings of the distress, so that our minds can start to clear and we can think more logically and rationally.

OBSERVE
We can notice the thoughts going through our mind, we can notice what we feel in our body, and we can notice the urge to react in an impulsive way. We can notice the vicious cycle of anxiety, sadness or anger.

Noticing helps us to defuse from those thoughts and feelings and therefore reduce their power and control.

PULL BACK / PUT IN SOME PERSPECTIVE
The thought challenging of CBT. Thinking differently.

When we step back emotionally from a situation, and start to see the bigger picture, it reduces those distressing beliefs. We can do this by asking ourselves questions.

PRACTISE WHAT WORKS / PROCEED
This is the behavioural change of CBT. Doing things differently.

Rather than reacting impulsively with unhelpful consequences, we can CHOOSE our more helpful and positive response.

REFERENCE:
Full credit to this technique is owed to Carol Vivyan of www.getselfhelp.co.uk who has kindly given ANJ permission to use this technique within Counselling and Training assignments.

We take a look at the distortion of body image and how some influencers and advertisers continue to feed off of that. Don’t believe there is something to change/fix on you! You are perfect as you are!
In addition, we talk about how some employers do not let people take breaks to eat or use the restroom. Its insane! Take time to take care of you everybody. The more we say this isn't ok with me, the more things can change!
