Memorable Quotes

"We must remember that hormones influence everything about our body and health…So pay attention to your hormones because they will affect how you feel and your mood, and if unaddressed for a long period, it can play into these not-so-great health issues."

"Xenoestrogens are kind of like environmental estrogens in a sense. They're not made in your body. They're coming from outside factors, and they are kind of a subcategory of endocrine disruptors. So this means that they can alter the normal function of your hormones."

"Xenoestrogens are the ones that aren't necessarily ideal, and they're gonna come from chemical sources. And so this is where we gotta pay attention to our environment as well and what we're exposing our bodies."

Are you currently working towards a weight loss goal? Are you struggling with your weight loss goal? Listen to Nikki as she goes over the three major truth bombs about weight loss to keep things in perspective that will help you achieve your weight loss goals and relieve a lot of stress.

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• The need to change your approach and mindset when it comes to weight loss
• Nikki's weight loss journey and things she learned along the way
• The three biggest weight-loss truth bombs:
• Fat loss doesn't always equal weight loss and vice versa — there are many different factors involved regarding the number on the scale.
• Extreme weight loss is often misleading and dangerous — you must sustainably reach your weight loss goals.
• Even if you have a weight loss goal, it is not about the weight — it is about the fat loss

Memorable Quotes:

"A lot of people are focusing on weight loss goals, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're losing body fat. Our weight is composed of not just body fat, but also for muscle, water, and bone also."

"People really need to keep things in perspective because if we aren't focusing and maintaining our health and we're also not approaching our weight loss or fat loss goals in a way that is going to be sustainable for us then it's gonna lead to a really difficult and frustrating road."

Do you frequently or always feel bloated despite eating healthy food? If you think you're eating healthy and still find yourself bloated, there are a few key causes that may be at play.

Nikki discusses the reasons why you’re eating healthy but still feel bloated and shares some tips to cure your bloating, feel lighter and have more energy.

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• Things that contribute to gas and bloating
• Some reasons why you could still be bloated while eating healthy — enzyme and bacterial imbalances, food sensitivities and intolerance, stress, and dysbiosis
• Some tips for dealing with your bloating
• Things related to your gut health you need to be aware of

Memorable Quotes:

“Even with whole foods, there are a lot of different processes and the bacteria in our gut help to process and digest certain foods. So if there are any imbalances, or our digestive system isn't functioning optimally, this is where even healthy foods can cause bloating.”

“The reason why we can sometimes be bloated even with healthy foods is food sensitivities and intolerances. You can unfortunately have food sensitivities to even healthy foods.”

“Stress is a huge contributor to an impaired digestive system, and bloating. So if you're eating healthy, and you're bloated… pay attention to your stress. Because when we're stressed out, our body is going to be in more of that fight or flight state. It's not going to be thinking about digesting food.”

If you tend to be critical of yourself, if you engage in negative self-talk, and if you constantly talk down to yourself, this episode is for you.

Negative self-talk can not only be detrimental to our ability to reach our full potential but can also cause significant emotional and psychological distress. Listen to Nikki as she talks about how you can stop negative self-talk and start living a life of positivity.

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• Four key steps to help you overcome the negative things you say about yourself:
• Becoming aware — you can't change something if you're not aware of it
• Acknowledging it — don't try to hide it, push it away, or be mad at yourself for having that thought
• Invalidating that limiting belief — make it meaningless by debunking it
• Fliping it into something positive

Memorable Quotes:

"A negative headspace is often why people lack motivation and consistency because they don't feel energetically drawn to do the things right, they shut down, and they isolate."

"How we speak to ourselves influences so much what we believe about ourselves, our capabilities, our actions and our entire life. So if you're struggling to feel good about the direction of your life, pay attention to what you believe in about yourself, and pay attention to your thoughts."

"Your mindset is the driving factor of all success, and of any achievement that you want to go for. So pay attention to your mindset."

"Go at your goals from a place of love not hate, because this not only breaks the cycle of self-sabotage, and makes the journey a lot more enjoyable. But it's going to help us feel a lot more motivated to want to do certain things in our day to day and stick to healthier habits long term."

And we're just so oblivious that they have massive impacts on our quality of life, not just our fitness results, but our entire quality of life."

"When I realized I just need to change my habits, I just need to take better care of myself and really prioritize my health everything changed. It has impacted every single aspect of my life, not just fitness."

"The reason why I got into coaching is to show people how much better life can be when they just focus on their health, when they work with their body, when they learn their body and listen to their body."

The best way to lose weight is to exercise and eat healthily. But, there are other things that can help you lose weight. In this episode, Nikki talks about the secret to WEIGHT LOSS that no one is talking about.

Tune in to this episode to know about the ultimate secret to weight loss.

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• How your gut health can influence your weight
• Feeling constantly bloated and the effects it has on weight
• Impact of gut health on key hormones involved in body composition
• The issues you may face if your gut health is not optimal
• Nikki's struggle with her gut health

Memorable Quotes:

"If you're not paying attention to gut health right away, then your first step sometimes might be cutting your calories, and restricting your carbs, or doing more cardio, when all you need is to first get your digestion in check, and you'll feel a lot better."

"Our gut is such a key foundational part of our health, and often the root. Oftentimes, if we have hormonal imbalances, it can be related to the gut. So pay attention to your gut health."

"You don't need to be killing yourself doing cardio every single day in order to lose weight. You also don't need to be starving all day, every day."

"A lot of people don't even talk about gut health, they think that it has nothing to do with weight loss, but it has so much to do with weight loss because if you're dealing with chronic gut issues, then your weight might be higher. It's like you're holding on to more water, constantly inflamed, and not having proper bowel movements. So that's going to affect your weight."
