Hating your body is a choice that you have been hypnotised into by diet culture.  It's totally unnecessary and feels bad to your soul.  If you've put weight on during menopause or you've always been curvy, you CAN learn to accept your body right now AND you can be healthy at every size.  

Sound controversial?  Damn right it is. 

My guest today is Claudine Nightingill-Rane.  She's a body image, mindset and blue health coach and she works with women to help heal their relationship with themselves and their bodies so they can be happy and healthy as they are.

In today's conversation we talk about: 

🙄 The mental pain of yoyo dieting
🙄 Lifestyle changes can be diets too
🙄 How you THINK you look vs how you ACTUALLY look
🙄 The slow process of learning to accept your body
🙄 BMI - a flawed tool - aka The Bulls**t Measurement Index
🙄 The torture of fat shaming
🙄 Reclaiming the word FAT
🙄 Shrinking your body is a choice and you don't have to do it
🙄 The one big barrier many people feel when embarking on working with a body positive coach
🙄 The one big mindset shift to help you appreciate your body
🙄 Thoughts about those before and after pictures
🙄 Your cup is both half full AND half empty - that's the reality
🙄 The language around intuitive eating vs dieting says it all
🙄 Undoing the years of conditioning
🙄 Health at every size - even during menopause
🙄 The power of cold water therapy for body positivity

So if you're ready to reclaim your body-ody-ody and look for inspiration on how to work WITH yourself instead of against, this episode is for you.

If you want a therapy that works, try hypnotherapy.  Hypnotherapy is becoming one of the worlds most sort after therapies because of its ability to work deep into our conditioning and affect change very quickly.

I call it a no nonsense therapy.  It gets right in there and right out again. 

In today's episode I had the pleasure of talking to a fellow hypnotherapist about the profound work we do.  

Sonia Samtani is CEO of the All About You wellness centre in Hong Kong, she's 2 x TEDX speaker, published author and NLP trainer (and of course, she's a very busy hypnotherapist).

In today's episode of The Menopause Mindset Podcast we discuss:

🧠 Conclusions that we come to about ourselves based on the messages we received.
🧠 The importance of asking why [why = wisdom].
🧠 Identifying the triggers that result in a cascade of negative thinking.
🧠 The difference between regression therapy and suggestion placement therapy.
🧠 Perception filters and how they affects our beliefs.
🧠 Where does our conditioning come from?
🧠 Fact vs Interpretation.
🧠 Problems arise when we just see problems.
🧠 How do we change the unhelpful things that we are focused on?
🧠 The power of knowing what your objective is.
🧠 Why feeling 'normal' after hypnotherapy is a big win.
🧠 What stands in the way of people achieving their goals.
🧠 Why we get addicted to stress.
🧠 Why your inner child's brain is running the show.
🧠 What's really behind addictions and symptoms?
🧠 Why hypnotherapy is not like stage hypnosis.
🧠 Breaking the ancestral wounds of 'lack'.

So if you're ready to learn how to change your mind, this episode is for you.

Many people try and medicate menopause away with HRT and whilst, in many cases HRT really does help to get us back on track, there is a deeper message behind the menopause transition that often gets overlooked.  In this episode I'm going to help you peel back some of the layers to enable you to gain a much deeper understanding of what menopause is trying to tell you, to enable you to emerge out the other side feeling reborn.  

This is for anyone curious about taking a wider, more holistic view of menopause.  

In this episode you will learn:

• Why we need to talk more openly about menopause.
• Why women's health gets brushed under the rug.
• The stages of the menopause transition.
• Why menopause isn't just an oestrogen deficiency.
• The menopause seasons, what they represent and what they are trying to tell us.
• Why relaxation is so important at menopause and how to do it.
• How you can embark on the journey of uncovering your own medicine of menopause journey. 

This knowledge will set you on a trajectory of being able to ride the roller coaster of menopause without added panic or worry because you don't know what's happening to you.  It will arm you with the tools to understand yourself better and to be much kinder to yourself along the way.

When did we last award someone for being the most orgasmic, pleasure centred human? 

Answer: erm... never.

So where are we supposed to get our inspiration from when it comes to giving ourselves permission to feel good?  Where are the role models?

Enter:  Jem Ayres.  

Jem is a Sexological Bodyworker who pleasured her way out of Stage 4 cancer (along with all the conventional treatments of course).

In this conversation we talk about:

✨ Recovering from Stage 4 cancer
✨ The health benefits of orgasm
✨ Full body orgasm vs genital orgasm
✨ How we learn to 'tolerate' suffering
✨ Do we even look up to role models who endorse pleasure?
✨ How to ensure that chaos can’t touch you
✨ Self development as a 'body' pursuit not just a 'mind' pursuit
✨ Trusting & listening your own body vs the people around you telling you what to feel
✨ Finding pleasure even in pain
✨ Arousal and pleasure are two separate things.
✨ The old idea of sex needing to end in orgasm
✨ Accessing pleasure as the precursor for manifestation

So if you're ready to unleash the power of pleasure, do not miss this episode.

Black and white thinking around health, nutrition and weight loss is outdated, outmoded and redundant.  If you think it's just a case of finding enough will power to stick to a diet, then, my friend, I'm afraid you're set up to fail. 

My guest today has built up a credible reputation for helping thousands find a new relationship to food, their bodies and dieting.  

In this conversation we talk about: 

🥑 A time redefine ourselves and dieting.
🥑 Why we're sociologically conditioned for weight loss.
🥑 Re-writing the diet narrative.
🥑 Mindful weight loss /  Mindful eating.
🥑 The human diet.
🥑 Understanding your motivations.
🥑 Our relationships to food.
🥑 SLOWING THE F**K DOWN
🥑 Black and white thinkings vs 'play in the grey' 
🥑 Making people with desire & yearning. 
🥑 Routine, routine, routine.
🥑 Progress over perfection.
🥑 But HOW do we accept a body we don't actually like.

So if you're ready to 'play in the grey', come join Tanja and me!

How do we become resilient to the challenges of menopause?  Do we do nothing and let it overtake us or do we actively participate to become more adapted to this challenging phase of our lives?

The most helpful narrative I've come across is to be primed and ready for menopause as much as we can in order to avoid the massive pitfalls of ill health that can occur at this time. 

My guest today is Beth Wright, a lawyer by day who moonlights as a Functional Medicine Practitioner and a Health Coach.... and frankly, SHE RIPPED!!

In this episode we chat about:

💪🏽 Holding down a job as a lawyer AND a health coach.
💪🏽 Muscle as a metabolic and endocrine organ.
💪🏽 Why generic programs are not a good idea especially during menopause.
💪🏽 Symptoms tracking.
💪🏽 The trainer client relationship.
💪🏽 What is a hormone reset and reboot.
💪🏽 Why we are programmed to function better in groups.
💪🏽 The reasons why intuitive eating sometimes goes out the window.
💪🏽 How to manage stress if you're busy.
💪🏽 Why bad diet is actually a stressor.
💪🏽 Habit stacking and life consolidation.
💪🏽 How to get a better night sleep.
💪🏽 How stress and emotional trauma can affect the gut.
💪🏽 Hacking into the biology of our body - aka biohacking.

So if you're ready to get some inspiration to get back in the gym and start lifting heavier, then this episode is for you.

Controlling how you decide to show up in the patriarchal world as a menopausal woman, is really up to you.

You do know that YOU get to decide don't you?  In some countries, that choice is taken away, so if you DO have the choice, honour it and use it wisely.  

😬 Want to stick to bedroom activism instead?  I'm right there with you.
😬 Want to wear oversized prints, enormous earrings and red lipstick?  Do it.
😬 Want to have casual sex with someone younger?  Try it.  
😬 What to just sleep all day this Sunday?  Do it.

This life changing conversation with Kath Berry put some fire back in my belly and I did not expect this conversation to end up where it did! 😵 

Kath Berry is an Acupuncture Educator with over 25 years of clinical experience.  She also has a Masters Degree in Drug and Alcohol Addiction Medicine and is now the co-author of a text book called Menopause: A Comprehensive Guide for Practitioners.

In today's episode we talk about: 

🧐 The beautiful marriage of Chinese Medicine and Hypnotherapy.
🧐 How a rogue Sarcoma got my guest thinking about menopause.
🧐 Exercise being the best thing you can do for menopause. 
🧐 The power of micro choices.
🧐 Why Chinese Medicines LOVES your basket of issues whereas Western Medicine doesn't. 
🧐 How we interpret pain/hot flushes/anxiety in the brain (aka pain signalling)
🧐 The East Asian view of menopause.
🧐 Why menopause is NOT just a hormone thing.
🧐 The changing landscape of women's health (aka no one size fits all)
🧐 Why friendships become more important as we age.
🧐 The importance of intuition as we navigate menopause.
🧐 Knowing who we want to be post menopause and finding role models to help guide us. 
🧐 Controlling how you decide to show up inside the patriarchal marinade.
🧐 Changing the menopause health narrative away from "eat well, sleep well and exercise" to something more rambunctious.  
🧐 The over 45's being left out of the conversation around healthy sex (and what we can do about it!)
🧐 Why penetrative m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.i.o.n is MORE important than clitoral m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.i.o.n as we age. 

So folks, if you're ready to go on a powerful journey, grab your headphones and your walking shoes and I'll see you inside this episode.

Something’s been grinding my gears.  I’m starting to take issue with the so called self development world that does more harm than good in some cases.  If you've seen the Amazon Prime Documentary, The Vow, you'll know what I’m referring to.

Having been a self confessed self development junkie since I was 14 years old, I'm now starting to see how this influence can do some damage to our authenticity especially when it comes to being able to navigate the menopause transition in a healthy way.  

Authenticity says "Hey you...I like you... be more you.... that feeling you're feeling, that's ok... lean into it, listen to it, respect it, honour it, talk about, slow down."

Self development says "Hey you... I like you... but you need to be more X....because that feeling you're feeling is holding you back from something much greater.  That feeling is blocking your success and you want more success don't you?"

Just when I thought I'd seen it all, another layer of the onion was peeled back during a confluence of events that have occured over the last 8 weeks.  

More experiences, more reading, more working with clients, more transparency, all helping to remove the veil over my eyes.

And what I realised is this.  Menopause is the perfect vehicle for us to put the brakes on 'self development' and to accelerate towards authenticity.

So if you're ready to drive towards that place called home, this episode is for you.
