73: Understanding How Chronic Stress, Cortisol, and Sugar Consumption Negatively Affect Your Weight Loss 51:41

5 hari yang lalu51:41

51:41

I’m excited to share some game-changing insights into how feeling stressed and the stress hormone cortisol can make or break your weight loss efforts—especially when it comes to stubborn belly fat during perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, I’ll explain why your body needs cortisol to function but how chronic stress pushes it into overdrive, directing your body to store excess blood sugar as fat and wreaking havoc on everything from your sleep to your energy levels. You’ll learn to recognize how your daily stressors—like meetings, deadlines, or the “lion-chase” feeling you get under pressure—contribute to elevated cortisol and sometimes increased visceral fat. We’ll dive into why it’s crucial to keep tabs on your stress responses, using simple tools like the Oura Ring for biometric insights. You’ll see how everyday choices about food—like leaning on processed sugar—can compound stress responses and make it harder for your body to manage blood sugar. Next, I’ll walk you through practical tips to break the chronic stress cycle and support your weight goals. By the end of this podcast, you’ll understand exactly how to manage your stress triggers, positvely influence your body’s hormonal responses, and keep your health on track—even when life is chaotic. Your Coach homework this week is to track your processed sugar intake for one week, then swap at least one sugary item with a whole-food alternative in the week that follows. I can’t wait to hear your progress, so be sure to connect with me on social media to share your wins and challenges. This week, we're tackling stress head-on so you can keep making progress with your goals.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to create movement habits that stick—no matter how busy or unpredictable life gets. If you’ve struggled to stay consistent with exercise, this episode will show you how to overcome common obstacles and develop routines that align with your lifestyle and long-term health goals. You’ll walk away with practical, research-backed strategies to make movement an enjoyable and unbreakable part of your daily life. What You’ll Learn Today: Why movement habits are hard to maintain and how to overcome the challenges. How habit loops and your environment can support consistency. Simple, effective strategies to build movement routines that feel natural and rewarding. We’ll explore the reasons movement habits often break down, like all-or-nothing thinking, relying on motivation, or starting with too much too fast. Then, I’ll introduce you to tools like BJ Fogg’s Tiny Habits method and the science of habit loops to help you build lasting routines. You’ll also learn how to use environment design to make movement easier and more accessible. For example, placing your workout gear in plain sight or using apps to remind and reward you. We’ll discuss the importance of choosing activities you love—whether that’s dancing, walking, or gardening—and pairing them with existing habits to make them stick. Coach Homework: Identify a small, achievable movement goal for the week (e.g., 5 minutes of walking, stretching, or yoga). Pair your new habit with an existing routine, like brushing your teeth or enjoying your morning coffee. Celebrate your success each time you complete your goal by marking it on a calendar or simply acknowledging, “Great job!” Remember, consistency beats intensity every time. The goal is to create movement habits that fit your life, feel enjoyable, and are easy to maintain over the long haul. Connect With Me: I’d love to hear your movement goals and celebrate your wins!

71: When It’s Time To Stop Food Planning & What to Do Instead 45:05

5 weeks yang lalu45:05

45:05

If you’ve ever felt trapped by food planning or overwhelmed by the pressure to stick to your meal plans, this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving into why food planning might not be the best strategy for your long-term success and how to replace it with a more intuitive, sustainable approach. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel empowered to make confident food choices in the moment, build trust with your body, and find freedom in your eating habits. We’ll start by exploring the signs that food planning is no longer serving you. Are you eating just because it’s “on the plan,” even when you’re not hungry? Or maybe the thought of planning leaves you anxious or guilty because you’re tired of trying to follow rigid rules. When food planning becomes restrictive, it disconnects you from your body’s natural cues and prevents you from learning how your eating habits affect your energy, hunger, and results. I’ll guide you through the transition to food logging, a flexible tool that builds awareness without the rigidity of planning. You’ll learn practical strategies like using a two-column food log—one for what you expect to eat and one for what you actually ate—or letting go of expectations altogether and simply observing your habits. We’ll talk about planning for types of food rather than specific meals, how to set intentional “overeats” in advance, and why reflecting on your weekly patterns is the key to making lasting changes. By the end of the episode, you’ll understand how to use food awareness tools to create sustainable weight loss, not as a compliance tool that forces you into perfection. Coach Homework: Reflect on your current relationship with food planning—does it empower you or restrict you? If it feels restrictive, commit to food logging for the next week instead. Decide which days you’ll try it and track your experiences. Mark your calendar for a review session at the end of the week to see how food logging works for you. It’s time to step away from rigid plans and into a new way of eating that feels aligned, flexible, and supportive of your goals. Listen now and start creating the freedom and trust you deserve in your relationship with food!

70: Why Sleep Matters With Your Weight And How To Optimize It 35:23

7 weeks yang lalu35:23

35:23

Are you struggling to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle despite doing all the right things? In this episode, we dive into an often-overlooked factor that could be holding you back: sleep. Drawing on insights from Dr. Casey Means’ book Good Energy , I unpack the science of how your sleep impacts your hormones, metabolism, and even your hunger cues. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why quality sleep is a cornerstone of your weight regulation and health in general and how to optimize it. You’ll learn why poor sleep sends your body into oxidative stress and disrupts your microbiome, leading to inflammation, insulin resistance, and even weight gain. We’ll explore the powerful role of circadian rhythms in regulating your metabolism and how exposing your eyes to natural light in the morning can reset your internal clock. I’ll also break down how sleep deprivation alters hunger hormones, driving you to overeat, and explain why aligning your meal timing with your body’s natural rhythms can improve your health and energy levels. I’ll share actionable, research-backed strategies to help you optimize your sleep, from simple changes like blocking blue light and setting a consistent bedtime to more advanced tools like wearable trackers for monitoring your sleep quality. Your homework? Choose at least three of these strategies to try over the next two weeks. Whether it’s spending five minutes outdoors every morning, dimming lights in the evening, or moving your meals earlier in the day, these small changes can add up to big results for your health and weight. This episode will empower you to take control of your sleep and, in turn, your health. By the end, you’ll know how to build better habits around rest and recovery and feel inspired to prioritize sleep as a key part of your weight-loss journey. Tune in and get ready to transform your nights—and your life. Homework: Choose three sleep strategies to implement over the next two weeks. Track your sleep duration, REM, and deep sleep using a wearable device. Experiment with meal timing and light exposure to support your circadian rhythm.

65: Embracing Change: How to Let Go and Move Forward 40:56

40:56

In Episode 65, I’m talking about embracing change—a fitting theme as we head into the end of the year and think about a new year of possibilities. Here’s what's covered: Why We Resist Change: Our brains are wired for safety and routine, so when faced with change, the amygdala (our fear center) often triggers anxiety. This is a natural response, and understanding it can help us navigate transitions without judgment. Reframing Change as Growth: Resisting change is normal, but growth often comes from discomfort. Looking back, we usually see that the challenging moments brought us the most progress. I reference Carol Dweck’s "Growth Mindset" to illustrate how embracing uncertainty can foster resilience. Strategies for Managing Change: To support a growth mindset, I suggest: Becoming aware of your thoughts around change Practicing self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others Using mindfulness to stay present Setting intentional goals and using smart time management to focus on what you can control Homework: Identify and reframe any negative thoughts around change. Set personal intentions for the future and make actionable plans. Try a self-forgiveness exercise to let go of lingering guilt.

Coach Homework: 1. Download the Eisenhower Matrix worksheet by visiting my instagram account @ThriveInMidlife and comment MATRIX on any of my posts, and I'll DM you the link to download. 2. Practice leveling up your thinking about time and agency to experiment with decreasing overwhelm.

Classify your current to-do list tasks into each of the four quadrants using the Eisenhower Matrix: urgent/important, important/not urgent, urgent/not important, and neither urgent nor important. 3. Schedule out the days and times of your Quadrant 1 and 2 tasks into your digital calendar. Practice following through and give yourself the gift of completion. 4. Time block recurring tasks into your calendar so you can take those tasks off your to-do list forever. 5.

61: How To Break Free From Restrictive Diet Mentality 31:23

24 weeks yang lalu31:23

31:23

A common recurring theme I see with my clients is a struggle to break free from diet mentality. Restrictive diet mentality is the belief that there are "right" and "wrong" foods you 'should' eat in order to lose weight or maintain your weight. When use restrictive diet mentality to lose/maintain weight, what happens is you prioritize choosing those virtuous foods above your own internal tastes and preferences. When we ask ourselves to consistently eat virtuous foods over what we prefer to eat, we experience scarcity thinking. There is manager you telling you all of the things you should be eating and then there is the part of you wants what she wants. This pits inner and outer selves against each other; and what we see is the dynamic of 'being good' for a while, which is always followed by 'being bad, overeating, feeling out of control, and self judging. We can participate in restrictive deit mentality for decades, even though we all know this approach is flawed, as evidenced by people we know who eat "unvirtuous" foods yet maintain a healthy weight. How do I know when my clients are grappling with diet mentality? One sign is that they make a food plan, but then don't end up following it consistently. Another sign is a resistance/fear of putting the bad/unvirtuous foods on their plan; even though they might be eating those foods daily without permission. A third sign is using shaming/judging self talk to increase compliance with virtuous choices. This disconnect between planned and actual eating is a key indicator you might be stuck in restrictive diet mentality. Your coach homework for this week is to take a look at your food planning from the previous seven days and identify any foods they overate. Plan for those foods intentionally this week, by practicing enjoying them with permission and following your hunger and fullness cues. The goal is to create emotional satisfaction in the experience of eating those foods with permission and safety; which tells the brain the way to lose weight sustainably, for life, is to tune into your own choices internal cues for answering the questions of what, when, and how much to eat.

60: Fifteen Good Responses To Urges To Overeat 26:28

25 weeks yang lalu26:28

26:28

Success in changing habits around food relies on having tools ready to respond when you have an urge to eat outside of being hungry or already having eaten enough food. In today's episode, I give you fifteen good responses to practice and have at the ready when you find yourself having an urge to overeat. Using these will help you redirect how you think in those moments to help you respond differently AND help it feel easier to choose to not overeat. Here is the list of fifteen good responses for when you have an urge to overeat. This will taste even better when I'm hungry again. It tastes so good AND overeating won't allow me to enjoy this any more than I already have. If I stop at enough, I'll be able to have it again the next time I'm hungry, which will be sooner than if I overeat now...PLUS I'll be proud of myself. I’ve already decided on this issue. If I say yes to eating more right now what am I saying no to? This is my chance to practice a new habit. I want it, but I also want to (lose weight this week). I will meet the discomfort of stopping now, or I will meet the discomfort of my overeat when I fill out a discovery sheet tomorrow. Either way, it’s uncomfortable. Of course, it tastes good. If I put it away now I get to enjoy it again tomorrow. Yes, it tastes good, but so does going to bed knowing I've had my own back today. Food can’t make me feel better, only my thoughts can do that. What do I really need right now to feel better? Am I tired, stressed, overworked, or need to give myself a break? Can I acknowledge my needs beyond what food can give me right now? The price of learning how to change habits is my willingness to be uncomfortable for a while. I won’t always feel this way about stopping the more I practice this skill. Your Coach homework this week is to PRACTICE and REHEARSE thinking these so they are fresh in your mind when the urge to overeat happens. Then, practice using them, and see how your typical responses to urges to overeat might change.

In this episode I introduce a strategy that you can use to help you be more intentional AND feel better during times whenvoyu notice you tend to overeat. Emotional time blocking is deciding how you WANT to feel ahead of time instead of reacting to or resisting to how you feel when you are in automatic mode. Time blocking your day can encompass more than just identifying when you focus on what tasks you want to accomplish that day. Time blocking can also take into comsideration how you want to feel intentionally during each segment or section of your day. When you both plan for how you spend your time AND how you want to feel during that time, you are practicing emotional time blocking. Emotional time blocking can be used to be more intentional any time you notice you tend to overeat. Successful emotional time blocking will depend on your ability to identify the core need underlying the problematic desire or want, and I give you examples of how to do that inside the episode. Your coach homework this week is to try emotional time blocking, not just for overeating patterns, but also as a way to level up your overall experience in any challenging times where you'd like to feel better and get different results. Doing so will allow you to feel more in control and with a plan for how you want to show up and feel in the process rather than feeling like you are always reacting to emotions you typically eat over like feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stressed.
