Butter. Flour. Sugar.

Mixed together these ingredients create a drug-like elixir that is the base for a lot of yummy holiday baked goods.

With all of our running extra holiday running around, parties, eating out and STRESS, it can be a real gut-punch to our health and vibrancy.

Seriously--our gut needs some TLC this coming season.

In the olden days we used to think of our gut as just that place that processes the food we eat. But now we know so much more–our gut is now linked with mood, overall health and wellbeing.

I think this is a great time of year--before all of the holiday food starts getting dumped in our digestive system--to take pause and get to know this part of our body and how to care for it so it can care for us.

Health Coach Mary Welch joins us for our 88th Episode of Thin Thinking. She shares the steps we can take today to begin to improve our gut health, and beyond. Also check this episode's show notes for Mary's free guide to decrease inflammation!

Soon the winter months will be upon us...I got out my weighted winter blanket just the other night and said to myself "it's that time."

Like bears, humans seem to head to our caves and hibernate for the winter months.

It's the season of binge watching, and binge eating. And can you blame us--mother nature has set our survival biology in this way.

However, bears do stop eating after putting on enough weight and sleep all winter--emerging from their cave in the spring thaw looking gaunt and thin--like they used all of their stored hibernation blubber.

For us humans--more times than not--we emerge in the spring--looking heavier than we did when we entered the cave… we somehow missed out on that sleeping all winter part!

Many of my clients and students in my online courses express concern about winter weight gain. They fear that the dark and cold will impede their progress or halt it altogether.

Never fear--this week, 87th episode of Thin Thinking, I dive into how to make some thin thinking shifts so that you can manage your weight easily during the dark and cold days of winter.

We also will do a vision exercise to inspire you to emerge from your cave this spring looking slim and confident.

In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…

• What are the weight challenges you will encounter during the the winter
• Mental shifts you can make to stay on track with your weight mastery journey
• How you can create a vision that will help you during the winter and emerge stronger in the future

Have you been keeping the right muscles strong? I mean, we all know that for good health and fitness we need to work out to keep our muscles healthy and strong.

BUT, today's Thin Thinking guest will argue there is a set of muscles that we are not working out and boy--life gets better when we do!

Ever used a kegel?

It is a very specific movement designed to strengthen your pelvic floor and can help improve different aspects down there, especially if you are experiencing sneeze pee, bladder prolapse, and if you are having challenges in the boudoir.

During the 86th Episode of Thin Thinking today, we are joined by The Kegel Queen, Alyce Adams, and she will share how kegel exercises helped her and 3011 other women who suffered with vaginal prolapse and urinary incontinence regain being in charge of this very important part of their body.

Also I will be Alyce's guest this Sunday on her weekly Livestream in her Hot Healthy 50+ Facebook group. We will be discussing how to AVOID Emotional Eating Over the Holidays.

Isn't it that time of year when you just want to get cozy with a great book?

I have a Thin Thinking Read recommendation that I believe you will not only enjoy but that will change the way you relate to yourself in a transformative way.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Tara Brach's work a few years ago by a dear therapist friend of mine. Have you ever read a book and it's been more than a book but like food for your soul? Well Buddhist psychologist Tara Brach's ground breaking book Radical Acceptance was like a feast of lessons in self-compassion and mindfulness.

If you ever feel like you are living in a perpetual trance of unworthiness? (which we do a lot of our time) I think you will get a lot from this book.

Tara Brach uncovers the trance and shows us a way to become present to ourselves, self-compassionate, and at home in our body.

Join me in the 84th Episode of Thin Thinking and let's get into more about this amazing book and why I think it's a perfect thin thinking read for the autumn.

In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…

• Why I recommend this book for people who are trying to lose weight
• Some passages in Tara Brach's book that inspired me the most
• Some cool stories that Tara turned into teaching points
