      Episode Notes

      Enjoying the podcast? Don't forget to leave me a review on Apple Podcasts.

      I've seen people in bodies that would be considered the perfect specimen to represent "health" and they were suffering physically and mentally trying to hold onto a body that felt like a full time job.

      • How to avoid fitness burn out.
      • What the science really says about weight loss and health.

        • How often you should eat, and how much
        • The difference between hunger and appetite (they aren't interchangeable).
        • What hunger really feels like.
        • How appetite throws a wrench in your plans to eat for your hunger signals.
        • How to stop resisting hunger.
        • How you know if your hunger signals are working.
        • Why you always feel like you're hungry.
        • How to adapt to a different eating frequency.
        • How to adapt your plan to accommodate strict eating times that you don't have control over.
        • The little things that get in your way of honoring your true hunger signals.
        • How to troubleshoot your hunger, when the habit just isn't working out for you.

          • S1E10 - Box Checking Your Way To Weightloss
            Episode Notes

            If you hang around me long enough, you’re going to hear me say something along the lines of, you can’t just will yourself to transformation. Instead of thinking about what you have to do, you must think about who you have to become.

            I firmly believe that permanent change requires this. But if you’ve never been where you want to be, then it might be hard to imagine what that looks like, let alone actually put it into practice.

            In this episode you’ll learn -

            • The one trick you need to learn to cut through the diet industry noise.
            • How to build skills instead of going through the motions forever.
            • How to hack your mindset for success.
            • What you’re really missing, and how it holds you back.
            • I value your time, and appreciate you taking a moment out of your day to review the podcast!

              • S1E8 - Client Interview Amanda Nies-Berger
                Episode Notes

                We had some audio issues on zoom, but this podcast was too good not to share. Please forgive the hiccups, and enjoy!

                I am so excited for today’s show because I have one of my favorite humans joining me. My client Amanda has worked with me for a while now. We became fast friends, and I can’t wait for you to get to know her.

                Amanda has had quite a transformation, and is continuing along her journey. You can check out her pictures on Instagram. But more impressive is her mental transformation. She has come a long way, in spite of her many obstacles that would have most people quitting. What she has to share is what transformation really looks like, and so we hit the record button to share it with you.

                In this episode Amanda and I discuss the ins and outs of dieting, including:

                • Why weight watchers and other diet approaches didn’t work.
                • Fears and challenges around building self-trust.
                • How self-care went from impossible to essential.
                • The dangers of diet culture, even showing up at your doctors office, and so much more.

                • S1E7 - Binging Be Gone: Leslie Hooper helps you break the binge eating cycle.
                  Episode Notes

                  My guest this week is Leslie Hooper, owner of HooperFit. Leslie has helped countless people stop binging, and guides them out of diet hell and into a peaceful relationship with food using a psychology based approach mixed in with a little tough love.

                  I’m excited to have her on the show to discuss a topic that is touchy, but also very common, especially among those of us with long dieting histories. We are talking about binge eating, and I know this is going to have some incredible takeaways. Be sure to listen to the end to get a mic drop moment from Leslie, so you can stop this for good.

                  Topics covered in this episode

                  • Defining binge eating.
                  • The problem with number chasing and restriction.
                  • How identifying as a binge eater can set you back.
                  • The trap of trying to diet your way out of binge behavior.

                  • S1E6 - Self-Sabotage Solutions
                    Episode Notes

                    This is the episode that talks about self-sabotage. Not in the intentional, screw it kind of way. But in the way that your brain seems to be actively doing the most to ensure you never stop getting in your own way, no matter how hard you try.

                    I'm breaking down

                    • Common excuses, and why discipline isn't the problem.
                    • How your thoughts determine your results, and how to try on new ones.
                    • How you to recognize a brain lie, and begin to change the patterns.
                    • Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast. Enjoy!

                    • S1E5 - Choosing the Right Diet
                      Episode Notes

                      In this episode, I'll cover the essential questions you must ask, before you choose your next diet.

                      It's tempting to go on another diet, especially when something triggers that feeling of not good enoughness. But all to often we end up quitting because our willpower runs out, something in life comes up, and we hit the same obstacles time and time again.

                      This time, you want to do it right so it sticks.

                      Putting in the pre-work before you jump in, will yield much better results and you'll finally be able to say, "this is my lifestyle" instead of being on another diet year after year.
