In today's world, the ultimate test of someone's willpower is believed to be not eating the whole bag of chips. But what we're going to uncover in this episode, is that someone's ability to not eat a whole bag of chips doesn't come down to willpower at all. It comes down to breaking down the beliefs we have towards those chips, including the ideas we project towards them and what that says about us as humans.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why willpower doesn't actually exist 
• How to stop thinking about a specific food 24/7
• Why the problem isn't actually eating the whole bag of chips, but instead, our belief of what that means if we do
• Steps to take to reduce food preoccupation 
• Why you SHOULD bring the food you can't stop thinking about into your house
• Unpacking beliefs around certain foods

Samantha Gladish is a Women's Health and Wellness Coach and the Founder of www.holisticwellness.ca; a website dedicated to helping women lose weight and balance their hormones through delicious food.

Weight loss is a touchy subject for me these days and I contemplated whether I would bring it to the podcast because I would never want it to trigger someone or sidetrack someone from their intuitive eating journey. But I do believe that the pursuit of weight loss (the healthy way) can occur while maintaining body positivity as a means of helping you move better and feel better, if those are areas that are currently holding you back.

In this episode we discuss:

• How Samantha's approach to weight loss differs from the conventional weight loss methods out there
• Why intuitive eating coaches aren't anti-weight loss (and what we're actually "anti")
• Focusing on the determining factors of health vs. solely weight as a measure of health 
• How to maintain body positivity while pursuing weight loss
• The common contributors to hormonal imbalances
• Simple strategies to start supporting your hormonal health today
• The harmful effects of conventional hormonal contraceptives (primarily the birth control pill) and what you can do instead
• How to support your hormones and health with Autoimmune Hashimotos
