Trusting Dorothy

Did you know that three weeks is the average time people decide to quit their health and fitness journey due to lack "of results"?

This podcast episode is inspired by one of my current clients, whom I have been working with for the last three weeks. It was in week three when I received a message from her telling me that she felt like she had already failed because the scale showed her that she had regained all the weight she had dropped at that point.

So, this episode is for you if you, just like most of my clients, have found yourself in the endless cycle of following a plan and losing weight, just for you to regain it all over again.

I'm talking here about something I wish more fitness professionals talk about because the more we talk about this, the more sustainable the success of the women and men on the journey to lose stubborn fat.

If you have been trying to lose weight for a while, following the traditional weight loss methods where the goal is to drop numbers on the scale, chances are you have been on a loop of losing and regaining that weight. Maybe you're even wondering if your goals are even possible for you! 

Well, this is exactly why in this podcast episode I want to introduce you to the concept -and method- of body recomposition. 

As we age, we need to understand that our body needs a different kind of support, especially when it comes to losing weight, building muscle, and maintaining habits that can support our healthy lives over time. 

Body recomposition might be a new term for you, but trust me, approaching your health goals from this standpoint will be a game-changer for your journey.

Welcome to the third episode of this three-part series on Nervous System Dysregulation in The Real and Uplifted Podcast.

In this episode, I share with you where to start your journey back to balance if you are feeling any of the symptoms of Nervous System Dysregulation such as stress, anxiety, procrastination, brain fog, emotional volatility, numbness, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, etc. 

I'm not gatekeeping any information, because the more regulated we are, the better life we can all achieve as individuals and as a community. So, I decided to share with you the process I guide my clients through when working toward regulating their nervous systems and setting up their habits and environments to support their journeys. 

Spoiler alert: The things I'm sharing with you today are not only going to help you regulate your nervous system but will also help you build some important foundations for your healthiest life, where you look and feel great in your body.

Welcome to the second part of this three-part series on Nervous System Dysregulation in The Real and Uplifted Podcast. In this episode, we dive deeper into understanding how 80% of our fight-or-flight or shut-down responses come from the body to the mind, not vice-versa. 

In this second part of the series, we explore what to do after realizing that you need to manage stress "in a better way" by supporting the regulation of your nervous system.

We start this episode by simplifying the three states of the nervous system: the ventral vagal, the sympathetic, and the dorsal vagal state. Then we dive into what may or may not be triggering these states, and how you can find solutions in your day-to-day life to find that balance back in a more controlled way. 

Remember: a regulated nervous system is the first step into reaching your goals and dreams, especially those related to your health and fitness.

Welcome to the limited series of The Real and Uplifted Show. On this occasion, I bring a three-part series on one of the most important things about feeling good in your body: the Nervous System.

In this first part, we explore the signs of a dysregulated nervous system. I share some examples of what a dysregulated nervous system looks and feels like.

I also bring you on a journey of my own experience, and how a dysregulated nervous system has manifested in my life.

My goals? To help you explore if you are dealing with a dysregulated nervous system, and give you the tools you need to start your journey toward regulation, calmness, and balance.

And, in case you were wondering: we also talk about how a dysregulated nervous system can be the reason why you are not reaching your health goals, including your weight loss and fat loss goals.

This episode comes from one recovering perfectionist to another. I'm sharing how perfectionism is keeping you from achieving your weight loss goals, and even worse: from celebrating and enjoying the small successes along your journey.

Perfectionism in all areas of life includes the way perfectionism can sabotage your desire to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle for yourself and your family.

With this episode, my intention with these stories - my own and those of clients I love - is that you can identify moments in which you have been a perfectionist, make small changes, and allow yourself to recognize that you can find a more balanced way of approaching to your weight loss and fitness goals.

To lose weight after having kids is one of the top goals women set for themselves after their pregnancies. But, even when it is a goal many can relate to, it is not always easy to pursue.

So, how can one lose those 20, 30, 40, or even 50 extra lbs after kids? What does it take for a woman to lose the stubborn fat and extra pounds to feel comfortable, energetic, and overall great with her body again? How to balance this health and fitness goal with maternity?

In this podcast episode, I have a chat with Britney, a dear client who in 90 days of working together, lost over 30 lbs and 20 inches. But most importantly, she brings us on a journey on how she regained her confidence in herself and her healthy life.

Let's break the myth: It is normal for every weight loss journey, whether you try to lose 10 or 50 lbs, to hit what everyone calls "a weight loss plateau." In any case, in this podcast episode, I invite you to think of this, not as a plateau, but as a period of weight loss maintenance.

Here, I break down the practical and the mindset side of things when hitting this so-called plateau, so you can rest assured you are still making progress towards your weight loss and fat loss goals.

In this episode, I explain to you what happens when reaching that stage of progress, and how to enter the maintenance period successfully by optimizing your eating habits, workouts, and other metrics of progress beyond the scale.

 When it comes to weight loss, several factors determine your success: the consistency of your workouts, your choices around food, the mindset behind your efforts, etc. But, if this were the only formula for success, weight loss and fat loss would be easy, wouldn't it?

We hear often that these are all the pieces you need to achieve success in your weight loss journey, but the reality is other.

When on a weight loss and fat loss journey, it is important to tackle first these three mistakes I have seen women doing on repeat. And, if this is you, do not get discouraged. In this podcast episode, I break for you how to tweak your situation and achieve success in the long run.
