Thin Thinking Podcast

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, prioritizing self-care—but you're still battling fatigue, brain fog, or other chronic issues? What if the missing piece to feeling your best isn't just about diet and exercise but about uncovering the deeper imbalances within your body?

In this week's podcast episode, I sit down with Reed Davis, a pioneer in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, to discuss how more practitioners are using diagnostic nutrition to help people overcome stubborn health challenges.

We'll dive into The D.R.E.S.S for Health Success protocol—Reed's powerful approach to balancing the body naturally, the critical role of gut health in overall well-being, how food sensitivity testing can be a game-changer in healing, and a lot more!

How often do we find ourselves putting everyone else's needs ahead of our own? As women, it's almost second nature—until one day, we hit a crossroads. That's exactly what happened to my guest on this week's episode, Penny Duke.

​In this week's episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast​, I sit down with Mary Macdonald to discuss how her weight journey began with the fascination of being thin, a message that was everywhere in the sixties, seventies, and beyond.

As a commercial artist, Mary saw firsthand how the Mad Men-era of advertising shaped the female psyche around weight loss. But more importantly, she shares how she broke free from those outdated narratives, releasing 32 pounds and maintaining her weight loss for months.

Mary's perspective on life and weight mastery is both inspiring and insightful. If you're looking for real-life strategies to not only release weight but keep it off permanently, this episode is for you!

Have you ever noticed how a bout of illness can throw your weight management journey off course? When we're feeling unwell, it's easy to abandon the healthy habits we've worked so hard to build.

Maybe it's the fatigue that makes balanced meal planning feel impossible or the cravings for comfort foods that soothe in the moment but don't align with our long-term goals. Or perhaps it's the disruption to our routines—less movement, more rest, and the emotional toll of not feeling our best.

In this week's episode of Thin Thinking, we're diagnosing these common struggles that arise when illness strikes. You'll learn:

• Why our mindset shifts when we're sick and how it impacts food and self-care choices.

• The role of emotional eating during times of vulnerability.

• Powerful strategies and mindset tools to stay connected to your health goals—even when you're under the weather.

This episode isn't about perfection; it's about finding practical solutions that honor your healing process while staying true to your long-term wellness journey. Whether you're feeling great or currently battling the sniffles, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you maintain momentum.

So, grab that cozy blanket and tune in! Your health journey deserves care, even during those tougher moments.

The road to releasing weight long-term isn't just about weight but about shifting a lot of beliefs about ourselves, and our worth. This is especially true for women because many of us grew up thinking our weight defined our worth. Being perfect meant being valued--especially to ourselves.

In my upcoming podcast episode, I'm joined by Susan Winchester, a remarkable member and coach in our Shift community who has been successfully maintaining her weight for quite some time now.

Susan's journey began at the age of 14 and spanned decades of challenges. But now, at 60, she has finally found freedom—not just with her weight but within herself.

As part of our ongoing series on Mastering Maintenance, Susan opens up about her powerful story of healing and self-acceptance. Together, we explore the transformative steps she took to embrace happiness and how she let go of her inner perfectionist.

This candid and impactful conversation is one you don't want to miss. So, grab your favorite drink, leave self-judgment behind, and join us for an inspirational interview.

Just the other day one of my students asked me what was the key thinking change that I made in order to release 40 pounds and maintain my ideal weight for 30 years.

It got me thinking.

Because of course there were many, many mind shifts that happened in my long term weight mastery journey--through all the ups and downs of life: marriage, childbirth, menopause, death of close family members and all the stress and joys of just raising kids and serving my community and students.

So what was the key mind shift that I realized was the key mind shift of all mind shifts that kept me going on my weight mastery journey??

Bingo! It came to me! Turning self-criticism into curiosity.

In my upcoming episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I'm going to share the exact mindset shift that changed everything for me—and how you can apply it to your own journey.

You'll discover how to:

✔️ Turn self-criticism into self-discovery

✔️ Break free from unhelpful patterns

✔️ Get to the root of what's keeping you stuck

I know starting to build your curiosity muscle will change everything for you too.

So, grab your lab coat and join me for this empowering episode.
