  • 3 Mindset Shifts to Transform Your Relationship with Food and Body Image

    Do you feel stuck in an unhealthy relationship with food and your body image? 

    If so, you’re not alone….

    In this episode, I’m going to give you 3 mindset shifts that will help transform these relationships.

    It’s not uncommon to have a complicated relationship with food and your body.  Many people do. 

    Sometimes this begins with body criticism and judgment, which then leads to unhealthy choices around food and exercise in an effort to improve their body. 

    I spent YEARS struggling with my relationship with food and my body.

    I always had a strong desire to lose weight and a belief that life would be so much better if I could reach my “ideal weight”.

    In all honesty, I had never really been overweight, but I think I always had a distorted view of how my body looked compared to how I believed it should look.

    Looking back now, I can see how my mindset was completely off and my lack of confidence only got worse with each diet failure.

    If you can relate at all to struggling with your relationship with food or your body, please know it is not your fault. Also, please know that it doesn’t have to be this way and it all begins with changing your mindset.

    So let’s talk about the three mindset shifts that will help you transform your relationship with food and your body:

    Letting go of your obsession with weight loss and the number on the scale…

    Eating MORE...yes, I said more...you’ll understand when you listen to the podcast, I promise.

    Accepting your body NOW, as it is...even if you’re still ”working” on it.

  • The Perfect Diet

    In this episode, I’m going to be talking about the perfect diet...Does one even exist? 

    Yes, yes it does.

     

    The perfect diet IS out there, but not in the way that you think. 

     

    Truthbomb: There is no one perfect diet that works for every single person on this entire planet. That's impossible. 

     

    Each person has a different set of nutritional requirements to keep them healthy. 

    Many diets just barely sustain you or keep you alive. That doesn't mean that they are good for you long term. 

     

    Your perfect diet should not just keep you alive, it should help you thrive. It should give you the best possible intake of nutrients to allow your body to be as healthy as it can be...It should be BALANCED!!

     

    So what does the perfect diet look like?

     

    I’m bringing you 5 simple guidelines to finding your perfect diet...if you follow these simple guidelines to eating and thinking about food, better health is a few bites away.

     

    Your diet should be balanced, enjoyable, sustainable, adequate, and maintainable...and most of all, it should keep you sane and not obsessing over the numbers. 

     

    Let’s talk a bit more about these 5 simple guidelines.

  • 3 Easy Steps to SIMPLIFY Your Weight Loss

    How does one SIMPLIFY weight loss? I mean some of us have been trying to lose those LAST 10 POUNDS for 187 years now…

    In this episode, I’ll be giving you 3 EASY TIPS to SIMPLIFY YOUR WEIGHT LOSS. 

    What if...we tried to simplify things instead of making it all so complicated? It seems there is so much information out there and we are willing to try whatever it takes just to be a smaller size. We don't realize what we're doing to our bodies on the inside from a health standpoint because we have been brainwashed to believe that a DIET is the ONLY WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT!

    Who wants to complicate things with all the counting, weighing, and measuring? Why not SIMPLIFY?

    It can be as easy as:

    • Building Healthy Habits
    • Building a Strong Foundation
    • Stopping the Restrictive Diets

    I know this all may sound crazy to you but…

    WHAT IF? 

    What if these 3 easy steps help simplify your weight loss? I know, with all that society is "teaching" us about weight loss, this may be hard to understand. Some may even think there is NO WAY any of this can actually result in weight loss.

    What if focusing on one habit at a time works?

    What if simplifying things help you make a lasting change?

    What if you slowly built habits you can stick to a year from now?

    What if you stopped over complicating things and just focused on one habit at a time?

    What if you believed you could accomplish your goals this time?

    What if BUILDING a solid foundation works and you never have to diet again?

    What if...you listened to this podcast to find out more about 3 EASY STEPS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR WEIGHT LOSS…

  • My Before and After Story, A story of losses and gains…
    Everyone loves a good before and after story so I'm about to lay mine out there in this episode

    It's about a journey of a few losses and a few gains, with not all of it being about weight OR that glorious transformation picture we all want to be like. Shit, I wanted that image so damn bad. So much so, that it kind of killed me inside in more ways than I'd like to admit.

    Heck, I could give you a quick before and after picture and I could make myself look different in each one just by how I hold myself up in the picture...BUT before I do that, let me let you in on a little secret. Before and afters are BULLSHIT!!

    YEP...I just said that...strap yourself in, it’s about to get REAL..

    If I can teach you one thing by listening to this podcast it’s that you don’t always need that AFTER picture to show you’ve made progress. Things got ugly for me and it took me a while to understand and accept that...BUT it was a huge weight off my back when I realized there was more to my story than a before and after picture.

    This is my story and I’m sticking to it...
