Transcribe →S3E4 - Fat Loss: Ditch the Sabotage Mindset Part 1
Mar 1, 202400:14:54Tap to summarizeEpisode Notes In this episode, we dive deep into the sheer power of the mind over body. We're getting real about fat loss – not just the usual "eat less, move more" spiel, but the mental gymnastics that often leave us tripping over our own feet. We're talking about the sneaky cognitive distortions that sabotage our fat loss journeys faster than a double cheese pizza on a Saturday night. The All-or-Nothing Mindset: Ever found yourself demolishing a tub of ice cream because you ate one cookie and thought, "Well, my diet's ruined now"? Welcome to the all-or-nothing mindset, the arch-nemesis of sustainable fat loss. We're dissecting why this black-and-white thinking not only derails your diet but also keeps you from enjoying life's little pleasures (one cookie and you've blown the day). Discounting the Positives: So, you lost a pound this week, but you're bummed it wasn't five? If you're the kind to overlook your victories, no matter how small, we're calling you out. Let's chat about why acknowledging every win on your fat loss journey is crucial and how to start giving yourself the credit you deserve. The Tyranny of Shoulds: "I should work out more." "I shouldn't eat that." Sound familiar? The shoulds are like that overbearing friend who means well but ends up making you feel worse. We're exploring how to kick these shoulds to the curb and start making choices that feel good and are good for you. Overgeneralization: So, you had one bad week and suddenly, you're convinced you'll never reach your fat loss goals. Overgeneralization is like doom-scrolling through your own failures, but we're here to offer some perspective (and a few laughs) on how to break this cycle. Fat loss isn't just about counting calories and hitting the gym; it's a mental game, too. By understanding and tackling these cognitive distortions, you're not just losing weight; you're gaining a healthier, happier mindset.

Transcribe →S3E3 - An Honest Look at Weight Loss Injections (Especially If You Want To Be Fit)
Feb 23, 202400:37:18Tap to summarizeEpisode Notes With the introduction of new weight loss drugs like Semaglutide, Wegovy, and other GLP1 medications, I thought it was time to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly, and look at this through an honest lens. In this episode, we’re diving into the deep end as we discuss the relationship between body positivity, fat acceptance, and the nuanced conversation around health, weight loss, and self-love. This episode talks about what I'm encouraged by as it relates to weight loss drugs and the concerns I have about them too. Semaglutide, Wegovy, Tirzeptide, Liraglutide, Zepbound, and all the other names for this class of drugs are here and making waves. I'll be the first to admit, if I was still deep into my weight loss journey I would have been the first in line for these drugs and wouldn't have cared about the side effects or potential consequences. Now though, I'm older and wiser. I have time and experience on my side and I know a thing or two about sustainable weight loss. My opinions might surprise you, trigger you, annoy you, or give you some relief if you've been thinking about what these drugs could do for you. I would LOVE to hear all about what you think about them. Have you tried them? Are you using one now to support your weight loss goals? How is it going? Send me an email and let's chat! Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast. It helps more than you know!
