This episode kicks off a 13-week Rooted Method takeover on Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind and it starts at a place most people never think to look.

Julia introduces the foundation of the Rooted Method and shares why so many well-intentioned weight loss efforts quietly fall apart even when you’re “doing everything right.”

We’re talking about the invisible friction.

The internal tug-of-war.

The reason some choices feel exhausting while others feel natural.

This conversation isn’t about rules, meal plans, or trying harder. It’s about the missing piece that determines whether change actually sticks. 

If you’ve ever wondered why you can want weight loss so badly and still feel like something is always working against you start here and let me tell you WTF core values are and why they help you lose weight!

But if you want more and can't wait for the rest of the 12 weeks of the takeover, you can have it all now! Get my Rooted Method today: https://www.eatmorewithjulia.com/rooted-method-program

If you’re juggling work, kids, deadlines, relationships and somehow still expected to “just be consistent” then this episode is for you.

In this episode of Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind, Julia calls out the hidden choices that keep busy women stuck: the automatic yeses, the guilt-driven no’s, and the constant putting-yourself-last cycle that makes weight loss feel exhausting and unsustainable.

This isn’t about meal plans, macros, or waking up earlier.
 It’s about learning how to say yes to the things that move you closer to the woman you want to be and no to what quietly steals your time, energy, and progress.

If you’re someone who:

• Feels stretched thin before the day even starts
• Keeps “starting over” because life gets in the way
• Knows what to do but can’t seem to make it stick

This episode will change how you think about boundaries, self-care, and weight loss without adding one more thing to your to-do list.

Julia sits down with prenatal yoga instructor and mom of two, Lisa Norgren, for an unfiltered conversation about what really happens to your body image, fitness routine, and mental health during pregnancy.  

And the TLDR: Your body isn't broken— it's building a human (but hit LISTEN for all the other things you need to hear, too!)

The women who struggle MOST with pregnancy body changes aren't who you'd expect. It's the former athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and nutrition-conscious women—the ones used to being in control. 

If you've ever prided yourself on your health habits, this episode might explain why pregnancy feels harder than you anticipated.

This episode doesn't hold back. It feels like you're eavesdropping on a coffee chat with two friends with a love of asking big life questions... including things like: 

• The Chinese food buffet confession that will make you feel seen
• The metabolic mystery of gaining the weight during pregnancy
• Why establishing therapy BEFORE baby arrives is non-negotiable
• The dangerous "open season" mentality around pregnancy eating
• How movement practice prepares you for labor decisions you can't imagine yet
• The difference between "pain" and "struggle"—and why knowing it matters

Whether you're currently pregnant, planning to be, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers the nuanced conversation about pregnancy that Instagram and your pregnancy app won't give you.

About Lisa

Lisa Norgren is a prenatal/postnatal yoga instructor with 8+ years of experience, mom of two, and certified perinatal corrective exercise specialist. She leads support group-style yoga classes that have served thousands of women through pregnancy and early motherhood.

Warning: This episode briefly discusses pregnancy loss. It also contains honest discussions about body image, weight gain, and the realities of pregnancy.

This episode unpacks a hard-to-admit truth: Your thoughts control what goes in your mouth...  maybe as much as physical hunger does. 

With humans having between 6,000 to 40,000 thoughts per day—most of them negative—Julia exposes how our evolutionary "negativity bias" is sabotaging our modern-day health goals.

The 3 Deadly Patterns (Are You Guilty?)

Julia identifies three specific (and unhelpful) thought patterns that keep smart, motivated women stuck in cycles of self-sabotage with health habits and weight loss... and how you can start to break this pattern if you recognize that YOU are guilty of one of them.

Come back here on December 15 to be one of the first to take the quiz that will help you identify which of these three patterns is YOUR primary saboteur—and provide more personalized strategies to overcome it.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:

• Why a 20-minute workout might matter more than you think
• The surprising connection between resentment and weight gain
• How "future self" thinking ends the negotiation game
• Why your unhelpful thoughts probably aren't even your fault

The best "supplement" for stopping hunger is NOT a pill. 

After years of falling for the diet industry's tricks (100-calorie packs, anyone?), Julia discovered why she was always starving despite "eating healthy" and following all the rules.

Your body has ancient survival mechanisms that make you obsessed with food when you restrict too much. Julia explains the science of why aggressive dieting backfires—turning you into a food-obsessed person who can't stop thinking about their next meal. 

The solution? Work WITH your biology, not against it... in 5 specific ways. 

We'll dismantle the oversimplified weight loss advice flooding the internet ("just eat less"), revealing why hunger management is about more than getting more willpower or eating meals as small as possible. 

You'll hear the science of satiety hormones, the 15-minute brain-stomach connection, and why making eye contact with your dinner matters more than you think.

Don't forget... this episode of the three-episode launch series for "Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind," including:

• "Is Weight Loss the Right Goal for You?"
• "Rewiring Your Brain: The 3 Thought Patterns Sabotaging Your Weight Loss"

After gaining 50 lbs in a short period of time and facing a bout of depression, Courtney struggled with where to start in her health journey.

She desired weight loss in the long run, but more than anything, she first wanted to feel so confident in her health habits and relationship to food as someone who lived a super stressful life as a business owner and had turned to emotional eating in the past.

In this conversation, Julia and Courtney talk about how little changes turned into big waves, like becoming someone who moves her body consistently, who experiences way less period cramps, and who understands how to eat with confidence (and avoid sugar cravings) - plus, how going to therapy while working with a nutrition coach unlocked even more growth.

Even though she hasn't even focused on it directly, she’s also already down nearly 12 lbs in the last few months from making these small changes over time.

Courtney’s story is for the woman who’s wondering how she’ll ever get out of the current funk she’s in, where she feels like nothing’s ever worked and she has no little time to give… she’s proof that you don’t need to feel ready to transform your life!!
