If you’ve been listening to my podcast, you might be wondering: what in the world is a life coach for dentists? What does she mean by that? What I mean is that dentistry is more than just drilling and creating tooth dust. Life is stressful enough, and my job is to help my fellow dentists reduce that stress and live better, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Dentists face special challenges when it comes to our relationships and managing our stress, and I’m specifically trained to address these unique challenges.

I’m talking about one of those unique challenges today. Today’s episode is a follow up to my previous episode #3 Why I Was Overweight. I’m going to be talking about how you can make some really big changes to your lifestyle that will help you lose weight and live healthier.

Nature has goals for you that influence how and why you eat - and sometimes overeat - certain foodstuffs. But we don’t live in that prehistoric environment our bodies were designed for. We aren’t hunter-gatherers anymore, we go to the grocery store and pick our favorite foods off a shelf. While this so much easier, it’s also so much easier for us to gain weight. I have tips that can help you recognize this evolutionary process and use it to your advantage, and that’s what I’m sharing with you today.

I’ve got 6 key principles to help you lose weight. These principles will help you reduce that over-hunger and over-desire for sugary foods and help you actually stick to a diet that doesn’t leave you feeling hungry all day long. You’ll be able to finish that last crown at the end of the day without your stomach growling at your patients. If you’re ready to learn a new way to lose weight, and actually stick to it, tune in right now to the Feeling Good Podcast for Dentists!
