Feel Better. Live Free. | Healthy Weight Loss & Wellness for Midlife Women

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, you've probably heard me mention hormones at least once or twice (or maybe a lot more than that.)

Maybe you've heard me say things like weight loss isn't really about calories, it's about hormones, and that if you really want to lose weight, you've got to stop focusing on the same old tired advice to "eat less and exercise more," and instead get your hormones to start functioning the way they were MEANT to function.

And it’s true that hormonal health plays a massive role in pretty much every aspect of our overall health and wellbeing, from our energy levels, to our mood, to our ability to lose weight and keep it off.

But even if you've heard me talk about hormones in a general sense, you might still be wondering what they actually are, how they work, and how you can get your own hormones to start working FOR you, rather than against you.

And that's why in today’s episode, I wanted to take a deep dive into hormones—and more specifically the #1 hormone you need to be worried about if you're trying to lose weight and get healthy, along with some practical steps you can take to start activating your body's intrinsic fat-burning power.

Are you ready to lose weight and heal your body for life (without dieting, drugs, or making yourself miserable)?

What does it actually mean to be a Health Rebel?

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a little while, or if you get our weekly email newsletter, you’ve probably heard me use that term before. 

But have you ever wondered what it actually means?

Or, more importantly, whether it actually applies to you?

ARE you a Health Rebel?  

That’s exactly what today’s episode is going to help you find out.

Raise your hand if you're a box checker.

And by that, I mean, raise your hand if you like to do things RIGHT.

If you're going to take on something new, you don't want to take any chances that you could be getting it wrong.

And if you're going to focus on losing weight, you're going to follow ALL the rules and do ALL the things.

Count your calories. Check.

Exercise. Check.

Drink lots of water. Check.

Totally obsess over the number on the scale. Check.

Think about food all the time. Check.

I mean, that's what dieting is, right?  It's misery. It's suffering. It's equal parts discipline and deprivation.

And if you can just keep checking off ALL the boxes and doing the right things, you're bound to see results.

Right?!!

But what if you don't?  What if you feel like you've been doing ALL THE THINGS, but the scale just won't budge?

What are you doing wrong?

Well, there's a really good chance that you're making one very big, and very common, mistake in your weight loss journey--one that I don't think really gets talked about.

In fact, it's probably a mistake that you're not even aware you're making at all.

But today, that's exactly what we're going to cover—what I think is the number one weight loss mistake that no one's talking about.

What if I told you that the reason you've struggled to lose weight and get healthy is NOT because there's something wrong with you, or because you're over 40 and your metabolism has stopped working, or because you're weak and lack the willpower to actually make the necessary changes in your life.

What if told you it was something bigger than that?

Something a LOT more sinister?

What if I told you that the reason you've probably struggled—maybe even your WHOLE LIFE—is because Big Food and Big Pharma have literally been conspiring against you.

They want you sick and fat, because it's in their best interest, not yours.

And they're very, very good at what they do.

Well then buckle up friends, because this is the episode where I put it all on the line.

Because frankly, it's time to talk about what's REALLY going on.

It never fails. The minute you decide you’re going to start eating better or trying to lose weight, you find yourself thinking about food ALL THE TIME. 

It’s annoying right? 

Believe me, I get it. In fact when I think back to all the million and one diets that I tried before I was finally able to actually lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE, the number one reason I failed was because I was just too damn hungry all the time!

And frankly, who has time to be thinking about food all the time? I certainly didn’t.

And so, inevitably I’d always end up giving in and falling off the wagon and eating the whole bag of Doritos or the entire tub of ice cream I knew was stashed at the bottom of the freezer.

But have you ever stopped to think about what’s ACTUALLY going on to make you feel so hungry?

Because, believe it or not, all hunger is not created equal. And if you’re ready to get serious about changing your habits, then it’s important to understand what’s actually going on, so that you can also better understand how to respond.

That’s why in today’s episode I’m going to walk you through the 7 different types of hunger and explain not only how to identify them, but what to actually do about it when that craving strikes.

Did you know that happiness is actually a superpower?

It's true!

And not only that, but consciously cultivating happiness and joy in your life on a daily basis, especially in the midst of a world that can seem pretty dark and depressing most of the time, be truly transformative for your health, your relationships, and your overall well-being.

Happy people live longer. They're more attractive. They have more fun.

So I guess the question we need to ask is HOW. How can you be happier, right where you are?

How can you be happier when there's so much about life that ISN'T all sunshine and roses?

How can you be happier TODAY?

And that's exactly what today's episode is all about. We're taking a deep dive into the science of happiness—what it is and why it's so important—and sharing some simple strategies for actually increasing your happiness levels and feeling more joy in your everyday life.

Stress. For most of us, it's just a normal part of life, right?

We spend a good chunk of our weeks feeling stretched to the max and overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks still left undone on that neverending list of things to do.

Half the time we're running on adrenaline and can't turn off our brain, and the other half we just want to crawl into a ball and just veg out to get away from the constant flow of thoughts and worries and things we need to take care of.

And if you're feeling this way right now, I promise you—you're definitely not alone.

But just because all this ongoing stress and anxiety is COMMON, doesn't mean it's okay.

In fact, when it comes to our health, chronic stress is pretty devastating because high cortisol—also known as the stress hormone—can set off a chain reaction of hormonal imbalance in our bodies that affects everything else we do.

And so it begs the question—exactly how stressed are you, really?

Should you be concerned? How do you know if your cortisol is too high? 

And what can you do about it?

That's exactly what we're talking about today.

Do you ever feel like you’re just spinning your wheels when it comes to achieving your goals? Whether it's losing weight and getting healthy or some other big thing you want to do, do you ever feel like you're trying to stay motivated to make real changes in your life, but it's so hard to keep going when you don't see results right away, or you're not seeing the progress you want to make as quickly as you'd like?

I know for SO many women, this is a huge struggle, and honestly, it's something I sometimes struggle with too.

Because let's be real—it's hard to stay motivated when it doesn't feel like you're getting anywhere. It's hard to stay motivated when you're constantly surrounded by people who are NOT working towards the same goals and maybe not that supportive of yours. It's hard to stay motivated when things don't immediately go the way you wish they would.

And the truth is, when you're just getting started towards any big goal, the road ahead can feel long. It can feel overwhelming. It can seem impossible. It can even feel hopeless or like it's not worth it.

But what if I told you that the reason you're struggling with motivation and the reason it feels so hard to stay motivated actually has NOTHING to do with motivation at all? What if I told you that deep down, there's something else getting in your way?

That's exactly what we're going to be talking about today.

Did you know, statistically, that three weeks into January—so basically, right about now—is when most people fall off the wagon with their New Year's Resolutions?

That means that if you have already found yourself getting off track, then at least know that you're in good company.

But that DOESN'T mean it's time to give up.

Instead, this is the perfect time to take a step back and look at some of your daily habits and routines—habits that are sometimes hard to break—and look at what where you might be inadvertently sabotaging yourself without even realizing it.

And the first place that often happens is in your morning routine—your first few hours of the day. Because typically you either set yourself up for a successful day, or you derail the train before it's even left the station, and you spend the rest of your day trying to get back on track.

And that's why in today's episode, I want to take a deep dive into morning routines and talk about some of the most common mistakes we tend to make, as well as a few things you can do instead to start your day off on the right foot.
