Unconventional WeightLoss

So much about weight loss is geared towards women, but from the emails I've received, it's clear just how much men need support and help too.

Anrew Shanahan noticed this too on his own weight loss journey, which lead to him launching an online magazine, book and website, aimed solely at men.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

The turning point that made Andrew realise he had to turn his life around

How we can start to change our mindset and challenge our self imposed constraints

How Andrew lost weight and the changes he made

Mindful eating (for blokes!)

The question to ask yourself before indulging in unwanted behaviour

What you need to address before losing weight

The issues specifically affecting men trying to lose weight

Support for women trying to lose weight, compare to support for men

The forgotten demographic in weight loss help and support

Why 1 in 3 men keep the fact that they're trying to lose weight a secret

I was so excited to speak to Katee Pedicini of Holistic Endurance.

Katee is an endurance athlete and coach. I was really interested to speak to Katee, because she had adrenal fatigue, and not only managed to heal - but did all this whilst training for an Iron Man! It's really encouraging to hear how, even if your cortisol levels are as depleted as Katee's were, you can recover. Katee also shared her hormonal based approach to training, which is so logical, I'm amazed it isn't common place.

We also spoke about gut health, why adrenal fatigue makes it almost impossible to lose weight and which steps to take if you have adrenal fatigue

Jade Anstey of balancedbynature.com is a Naturopathist and expert in hormone health.

Jade and I spoke about how crucial it is that our hormones are balanced - and what can happen if they aren't. Jade explained how to find out if we have an imbalance, and what we can do about it. Jade also explained how we can cleanse our bodies and the systems we need to have in place to succeed.
