You are never too old to start a new adventure. Laura came to me in Feb 2021 wanting to lose weight after trying everything else and not only did she lose physical weight, but also mental weight.

Laura went from feeling stiff in the mornings getting out of bed to moving with ease.

She took some courageous steps and left her job to follow a new adventure that was more in alignment with her heart's desire.

We talk about talking the first step, not giving up, following your soul's journey and how making one decision can positively change the course of your life!!

My first male guest and what a BLAST we had talking about our un-diet approach to losing weight (if needed) and getting healthier using a neuroscience approach. Packed full of very useful tips to help you eliminate cravings and stop overeating.

About 20 years ago Michael gained a lot of weight.  Tried every diet; failed every diet. 

Like all dieters, he had to endure the deprivation, the constant vigilance, and the math, OMG THE MATH!

He had to count those calories, weigh these products, measure those foods, calculate the fat, subtract the salt, divide the carbs, it was exhausting. 
And it didn’t work! Diets have a 95% failure rate.  Only 5% of people succeed in dieting. 5%! Would you get in a car that had a 5% chance of getting to your destination?

The more he tried the techniques that you will hear about in this podcast, the more weight he lost. 20 lbs and 2 pants sizes, to be exact. And he has kept the weight off for 18+ years! 

Health researcher, columnist and author Michael Alvear has written for Webmd.com, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, salon.com, Reader’s Digest and the Huffington Post. His commentaries have aired on NPR’s All Things Considered. He’s also the author of three weight loss books: Not Tonight Dear, I Feel Fat, Eat It Later and Grand Theft Weight Loss.  He is also the creator of Neuroslim, the no-diet, neuroscience-based weight loss course.  Find Michael at https://www.neuroslimscience.com/

As Alison mentioned, when she read the stages of change in my book, Cookie Dough in the Dark, that understanding the stages helped her to see where she was in the process and what steps she needed to take next.

Today we cover the 5 stages of change from the Transtheoretical Method by Prochaska, DiClemente and Norcross and I give you examples in each stage of where I was and what I did so you can see how to apply it to the changes you want to make or maybe that you don't even know you want to make yet!!
