Lisa is joined by Eddy Lindenstein, host of The Mind and Fitness Podcast, to talk about control, peace, and the difference between working out because you love what your body can do versus working out because you’ll be terrified if you don’t lose weight.

Topics include:

[3:08] Eddy describes his background and work with the Mind and Fitness Podcast, which reached episode 226 as of May 19, 2022. Then Eddy and Lisa start his childhood relationship with food.

[12:43] After moving from Chico CA to Seattle WA at nine years old, Eddy experienced a massive culture shock and lifestyle change to fit in with his new schoolmates, moving into a new awareness of body and weight. Weight gain after quitting baseball due to injury led to bullying and teasing which only exacerbated the situation.

[28:43] At age 15, a family road trip contributed to further weight gain and he finally had enough. Joining a gym and going on Weight Watchers helped him lose weight and sparked a lifelong passion for exercise and fitness.

[42:45] Prepping for a competition led to an intense TMS relapse, which prompts Lisa and Eddy to discuss the scarcity mindset and love vs fear mentality in our relationships with our body. Looking back, he can acknowledge feeling a lack of power as the fundamental motivator in those moments.

[52:58] When we acknowledge our lack of control over all the things we are trying to control and force into a certain mold, an enormous weight is lifted off our shoulders and we can focus our energy on just BEING, exactly as we are (+ more on scarcity!).

[1:02:43] Integration of brain and body (aka *The Good Stuff*). No matter what happens, we are safe, and once our brains know this and truly embrace it, our lives will change. Reaching a space of love, mindfulness, and connection with food and our bodies, avoiding the pendulum swing from one extreme to another.
