Episode 30: Weight Loss vs Weight Mastery

In this episode, we chat about the differences in weight loss and weight mastery. Weight loss typically refers to the process of losing weight, typically through a combination of diet and exercise. Weight mastery, on the other hand, refers to a more holistic approach to weight management. This might include not only losing weight, but also developing healthy habits, learning to listen to your body, and developing a healthy relationship with food. Additionally, weight mastery also focuses on maintaining a healthy weight over time, rather than just losing weight quickly.

Episode 27: Should You Use a Scale to Lose Weight?

The question is not whether you should use a scale to lose weight but rather how you should use it. A scale can be a powerful tool in your weight loss journey when used correctly. It can provide valuable feedback and help you track your progress. However, it's important to remember that the number on the scale is just that, a number. It does not define your worth or success. Use the scale as a guide, but also pay attention to how your clothes fit and how you feel in your body. Stay focused on your goals and trust the process. Together, we can create the reality you desire.

Episode 26: Relaxing Yourself Thin

This episode discusses the importance of relaxation in relation to weight management and overall health and happiness. Relaxation is a powerful tool for weight loss, weight management, and weight mastery to be viewed in a holistic sense, similar to the stock market, with many pieces influencing weight, including the nervous system. When the sympathetic fight or flight response is activated, energy is pulled away from the prefrontal cortex, preventing the use of executive functioning, logic, creativity, and wisdom, and instead causing a reactionary response.

Episode 25: Changing Your Lifestyle To Lose Weight

This episode discusses the importance of having a clear and specific goal when it comes to losing weight, rather than just wanting to "lose weight." Having a holistic approach, including focusing on lifestyle changes such as sleep, hydration, relaxation, breathing, nourishment, movement, meditation, and gratitude in order to achieve long-term success is the focus for overall well being rather than just “looking better.”

Episode 24: Losing Weight During Stressful Times

This episode discusses the challenges of losing weight during stressful times. People often have an all-or-nothing approach to weight loss, starting plans when they are "freaking out" and then losing focus when life settles down. Most weight loss plans lack strategy and rely on willpower, which can be difficult to maintain during times of stress. Instead of focusing solely on dieting, calibrate expectations and consider other stressors in their life when trying to lose weight.

Episode 23: Boosting Your Weight Loss Motivation

This episode discusses motivation for weight loss, specifically how most people tend to have a spontaneous, pain-based motivation that doesn't last long. Instead of trying to motivate yourself with extrinsic factors, it's better to look toward something with intrinsic value that has been successful in overcoming other obstacles. Examples include being a good parent, being a good partner and being successful professionally. Understanding why you are motivated in other areas of life, you can apply that motivation to losing weight.

Episode 22: Accepting Who You Are (so you can change)

This episode discusses how accepting oneself, including both positive and negative aspects, can lead to change. Often, people try to change by hating themselves; this is an ineffective and unpleasant way to motivate change. Accepting yourself and acknowledging negative aspects can lead to a more effective motivation for change. Behavior can be counterintuitive and suggests that when you hate yourself, it can lead to a sort of split in personality, where one part is always beating up the other part.

Episode 21: How To Make Better Food Choices

This episode discusses how to make better food choices in order to lose weight and have more control over your weight. Food is the most important factor in terms of weight and that weight is a reflection of habitual food choices. Dieting often causes people to become fixated on the foods they shouldn't eat, instead of focusing on what they should be eating.
