Discount Code to Save 15% Off Your Get Ready Wrap: THRIVE15 Why We Overeat and How To Correct It:  Overeating, or consuming more food than the body needs for energy, can occur for various negative reasons. Here are five common ones: #1 Emotional Eating: Many people turn to food to cope with emotions such as stress, anxiety, sadness, or boredom. They use food as a source of comfort or distraction, even when they're not physically hungry. #2 Mindless Eating: Eating without paying attention to hunger cues or the amount of food consumed can lead to overeating. Mindless eating often occurs when people eat in front of the TV, while working, or while engaging in other activities, which can result in consuming more calories than necessary. #3 External Cues: Environmental factors such as the sight or smell of food, social gatherings, advertising, and food availability can trigger overeating even when individuals are not hungry. These external cues can stimulate appetite and lead to eating beyond the body's actual needs. #4 Restrictive Dieting: Following overly restrictive diets or strict food rules can sometimes backfire, leading to episodes of overeating or binge eating. When certain foods are labeled as "off-limits" or forbidden, individuals may develop a preoccupation with those foods and ultimately overeat when they're available. #5 Habitual Patterns: Overeating can become a habitual behavior, especially if individuals are accustomed to large portion sizes or frequent snacking. Eating out of habit rather than genuine hunger can lead to consuming excess calories over time. These negative reasons for overeating often contribute to weight gain and can have adverse effects on physical and emotional well-being. Developing mindfulness around eating habits, addressing emotional triggers, and fostering a balanced approach to food can help mitigate overeating tendencies. Three effective strategies to help overcome overeating: #1 Mindful Eating: Practicing mindful eating involves paying full attention to the eating experience, including the sensations of hunger and fullness, the taste and texture of food, and the emotions and thoughts associated with eating. By slowing down and being present during meals, individuals can become more aware of their body's hunger and satiety signals, which can help prevent overeating. Some tips for mindful eating include: *Eating slowly and savoring each bite. *Paying attention to physical hunger cues before and during meals. *Recognizing the difference between physical hunger and emotional or environmental triggers for eating. *Minimizing distractions while eating, such as television or electronic devices. *Listening to the body's signals of fullness and stopping eating when satisfied, even if there's food left on the plate. #2 Portion Control: Monitoring portion sizes can be an effective strategy for preventing overeating. Portion control involves being mindful of serving sizes and choosing appropriate portions based on individual energy needs. Some techniques for practicing portion control include: *Using smaller plates, bowls, and utensils to visually reduce portion sizes. *Pre-portioning snacks and meals to avoid eating straight from large packages. *Being mindful of recommended serving sizes listed on food labels. *Dividing meals into appropriate portions before eating, especially when dining out or ordering takeout. *Learning to estimate portion sizes using visual cues, such as comparing food portions to familiar objects (e.g., a deck of cards for meat, a tennis ball for fruit). #3 Addressing Emotional Eating: Developing alternative coping mechanisms for dealing with emotions can help individuals reduce reliance on food for comfort or stress relief. Instead of turning to food, people can explore healthier ways to manage emotions and stress. Some strategies for addressing emotional eating include: *Identifying emotional triggers for overeating and finding alternative ways to address those emotions, such as talking to a friend, practicing relaxation techniques, or engaging in a favorite hobby. *Keeping a food and mood journal to track eating patterns and emotional triggers for overeating. *Seeking support from a therapist or counselor to explore underlying emotional issues related to food and eating. *regular physical activity can help improve mood and reduce stress without relying on food. *Building a toolbox of coping strategies, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or creative outlets, instead of turning to food in emotional distress. By incorporating these strategies into daily routines, individuals can develop a healthier relationship with food and reduce the likelihood of overeating.

Discount Code to Save 15% Off Your Get Ready Wrap: THRIVE15 Do You Really Need Motivation?  In this episode of The Overweight Mind, I discuss all things motivation. What is motivation (the two types) ~ Is it really? Is it necessary for success? How can you create it when it's gone?  What is Motivation and Do We Really Need It Motivation refers to the driving force behind our actions, desires, and behaviors. It is the internal or external factor that stimulates us to pursue a particular goal, task, or outcome. Motivation is what energizes us, directs our behavior, and sustains our efforts over time. There are two main types of motivation: Intrinsic motivation: This type of motivation comes from within oneself. It involves engaging in an activity because it is inherently rewarding, enjoyable, or fulfilling. Examples of intrinsic motivation include pursuing a hobby because it brings personal satisfaction or studying a subject out of genuine interest. Extrinsic motivation: Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, comes from external factors such as rewards, punishments, or social pressures. It involves engaging in an activity to earn a reward or avoid a negative consequence. Examples of extrinsic motivation include studying to earn good grades, working to receive a paycheck, or exercising to win a competition. Motivation can be influenced by various factors, including: *Personal goals and values *Expectations of success or failure *Past experiences and achievements *Social and cultural norms *Environmental factors *Emotional states, such as excitement, fear, or enthusiasm Why we lose motivation and how to get it back:  Understanding motivation is essential for achieving personal and professional goals, as it plays a crucial role in determining our persistence, effort, and overall performance in pursuing desired outcomes. Losing motivation can happen for various reasons, including burnout, lack of clear goals, feeling overwhelmed, or experiencing setbacks.  5 steps to help you regain motivation: #1 Reflect on your goals ~ Why did you start?: Take some time to reassess your short-term and long-term goals. Are they still meaningful to you? Are they achievable? Adjust your goals to align with your current circumstances and aspirations if necessary. #2 Break tasks into smaller steps ~ Rocks vs Boulder: Feeling overwhelmed can lead to a loss of motivation. Break down your tasks into smaller, manageable steps. This makes them feel less daunting and allows you to make progress incrementally, which can boost your motivation as you see yourself moving forward. #3 Find inspiration ~ manufacture urgency: Seek out sources of inspiration that resonate with you. This could be reading books, watching motivational videos, listening to podcasts, or talking to mentors or peers who inspire you. Surround yourself with positivity and motivation to reignite your own enthusiasm. #4 Create a supportive environment. Who's influencing you? Evaluate your environment and identify any factors that may be contributing to your lack of motivation. These could include distractions, negative influences, or disorganization. Make changes to your environment that support your goals and encourage productivity. #5 Take care of yourself ~ How are you treating yourself: Remember to prioritize your health and life, as physical and mental well-being play a significant role in motivation. Ensure you get enough sleep, eat healthily, exercise regularly, and manage stress effectively. Taking care of yourself gives you more energy and resilience to tackle challenges and stay motivated. By implementing these steps, you can gradually regain your motivation and momentum towards achieving your goals. Remember that motivation fluctuates naturally, so be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way.

Neuroplasticity refers to the lifelong capacity of the brain to change and rewire itself in response to the stimulation of learning and experience. The wiring together of brain cells makes the new behavior feel routine and easier over time. It requires about 10,000 repetitions — translating to a minimum of three months of practice — to develop a new neural pathway and master a new pattern of behavior. This timeframe can fluctuate as each brain is unique.  New science in relation to people being motivated to make changes shows the following data:  People who were part of an accountability group ~ coaching ~ or mentorship program had better results and stayed with the changes longer than those who tried on their own.  The idea that people have to be motivated to start is completely false. Most people who made dietary changes started before they were motivated and built momentum and motivation as they had success.  9 Steps to Retrain Your Brain and Create New Habits That Lead to Sustained Weight Loss #1 Be Aware of Your Thoughts ~ Thoughts Become Things   #2 Turn Negatives into Positives ~ Reframing ~ challenges = opportunities  #3 Understand What Derails You ~ Pattern Recognition and Reassignment    #4 Create a Personal Mantra ~ Your Mind Works On Frequency ~ The words you speak = you identity  #5 Practice Daily Gratitude ~ Gratitude Grounds You And Minimizes Emotional Decisions ~ you don't fall into a positive mindset, but you can for sure fall into a negative one ~ you have to MOVE into positivity  #6 Reciprocity Ripple (Boomerang Effect) ~ You Get What You Give ~ You see the world as you are ~ the lens of perspective  #7 Connection to Community #8 Enhance Your Environment ~ Your Inputs Dictate Your Outcomes  #9 Powerful Daily Routine ~ Discipline : Process : Repeat   If you love the show, it would mean the world to me if you'd like it, share it, and review it.

Exposed: The Dark Side of Fitness Influencers: Debunking Myths and Saving Your Health Introducing "The Overweight Mind" podcast, where the power of positive psychology, mindset, and personal development converge to transform lives. Join us on this uplifting journey as we explore the secrets to creating a lifestyle that leads to happiness, health, and wealth. Discover how the science of mindset can help you achieve your weight loss goals and unlock your full potential. It's where the magic of the mind meets the path to a healthier, wealthier you! Exposed: The Dark Side of Fitness Influencers: Debunking Myths and Saving Your Health Welcome back to The Overweight Mind! Today, we're delving into a topic that affects millions: the bewildering world of fitness influencers, gurus, and even doctors who are saturating social media and YouTube with misleading information. From misrepresenting clinical data to the obsession with fame over genuine help, we're unpacking the harmful trends that make it hard for individuals to achieve their health goals. 1. Misrepresentation of Clinical Data: Fitness influencers often cherry-pick clinical data to fit their narrative, manipulating research findings to support their own agenda. Whether it's advocating for a particular diet or endorsing a specific exercise regimen, the misinterpretation of scientific studies can lead to confusion and false hope among consumers. 2. Fabrication of Facts and Half-Truths: In their pursuit of influence and profit, many influencers resort to making up facts or using half-truths to bolster their stance. This deceptive practice not only misleads consumers but also undermines the credibility of evidence-based health advice. 3. Quick-Fix Schemes and Programs: The allure of "get healthy fast" or "lose weight quick" schemes is pervasive in the fitness industry. Influencers peddle programs, pills, and products promising miraculous results, preying on the vulnerability of individuals desperate for a solution. However, these quick-fix solutions often fail to deliver sustainable, long-term health outcomes. 4. Overcomplication and Confusion: Fitness influencers often overcomplicate health-related concepts, creating a sense of confusion and dependency among consumers. By presenting themselves as the sole arbiters of complex nutritional and exercise strategies, influencers perpetuate a cycle of reliance on their perceived authority. 5. Obsession with Debunking Rivals: Rather than prioritizing the well-being of their audience, some influencers engage in relentless battles to prove each other wrong. This competitive atmosphere detracts from the true mission of promoting health and wellness, leaving consumers caught in the crossfire of conflicting advice. 6. Fame Over Genuine Help: For many influencers, the pursuit of fame often outweighs their commitment to genuinely helping people improve their health. The quest for likes, followers, and sponsorships can lead to the prioritization of sensationalism over evidence-based guidance, ultimately jeopardizing the well-being of their audience. Conclusion: As consumers, it's crucial to approach the information disseminated by fitness influencers and gurus with a critical eye. By discerning fact from fiction and prioritizing evidence-based practices, individuals can navigate the complex landscape of the fitness industry more effectively. Remember, true health and wellness are not achieved through shortcuts or gimmicks but through sustainable lifestyle choices supported by sound scientific principles.

This fixation on the problem becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, hindering our ability to explore possibilities beyond our current circumstances. The Power of Reframing Our host challenges the conventional approach to problem-solving by advocating for a radical shift in perspective. Instead of spending the majority of our time understanding the problem, they propose that a mere 10% of our focus should be dedicated to problem analysis. The remaining 90 ~  Devoted to exploring solutions, fostering a proactive mindset that propels us toward growth and success. Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Listeners will gain valuable insights on how to break free from the shackles of their own stories. The episode delves into practical strategies for overcoming limiting beliefs and redirecting energy toward positive change. Our host shares real-life examples and success stories, illustrating the transformative power of embracing solutions over problems.

By implementing the 10-90 principle, our host believes that individuals can unlock their full potential and pave the way for a future defined by solutions, growth, and success. Join us next time on The Overweight Mind as we continue to unravel the intricacies of personal development, challenging conventional wisdom to empower you on your journey towards a more fulfilling life.  Remember, the problem isn't the problem – the real problem is fixating on it.

Get ready for a mind-revolutionizing journey titled, "9 Ways To Rewire Your Brain For Weight Loss.” In this episode, we unravel the secrets of neuroplasticity, highlighting the brain's incredible ability to change and rewire itself through learning and experience.  Did you know it takes approximately 10,000 repetitions, equivalent to a dedicated three months of practice, to forge a new neural pathway and master a fresh behavioral pattern? Every brain is unique, so this timeframe may vary. Discover the power of motivation in making lasting changes. Our data shows that individuals in accountability groups, coaching, or mentorship programs achieved better results and sustained their transformations longer than those going solo. Contrary to popular belief, the journey doesn't always start with motivation; many successful dietary changes kick-off before motivation sets in, gaining momentum with each triumph. Here are the 9 Steps to Rewire Your Brain and Cultivate Habits for Sustained Weight Loss: 1. Be Aware of Your Thoughts: Remember, thoughts become things. 2. Turn Negatives into Positives: Embrace challenges as opportunities through reframing. 3. Understand What Derails You: Master pattern recognition and reassignment. 4. Create a Personal Mantra: Your mind operates on frequency; the words you speak shape your identity. 5. Practice Daily Gratitude: Ground yourself, minimize emotional decisions, and actively move into positivity. 6. Reciprocity Ripple (Boomerang Effect): You get what you give; see the world through the lens of perspective. 7. Connection to Community: Forge meaningful connections for support and shared experiences. 8. Enhance Your Environment: Your inputs dictate your outcomes; curate an environment conducive to your goals. 9. Powerful Daily Routine: Embrace discipline, follow the process, and repeat for lasting change. Get ready to rewire your brain, break through barriers, and embark on a transformative journey toward sustained weight loss. It's time to thrive!

Let your mind paint a vivid picture of success. Trust me; this step is like setting the GPS to your dream destination. 2. Belief: Now, let's talk about self-belief. It's not just about dreaming; it's about unwaveringly believing that you can turn that vision into reality. Your belief in yourself should be a force stronger than any obstacle. It's the foundation upon which your success story is built. 3. Action: The magic happens when belief meets action. It's not enough to dream and believe; you've got to hustle. Take intentional, consistent actions toward your goals. Break them down into manageable steps, and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Action is the catalyst that transforms dreams into accomplishments. In this episode, we delve deep into each of these elements, exploring how they work together to create a life that's not just successful but filled with happiness, health, and wealth.  So, whether you're crushing it at the gym, commuting to work, or unwinding at home, let's align our vision, fortify our belief, and take inspired action together.

The Problem with Goals: Jay unveils a significant issue - many people treat their goals as mere ideas or wishes, and when faced with adversity or challenges, they quickly abandon or modify them. Goals become disposable, often leading to frustration and disappointment. Standards Take Center Stage: Jay introduces us to an alternative approach – setting standards. What Are Standards? Standards are the non-negotiable actions you commit to, regardless of the situation. Your standards don't waver in the face of adversity or convenience. High Standards, Remarkable Results: People with high standards prioritize what's required over what's convenient. Jay explains how this shift in mindset can lead to consistent and exceptional outcomes. Join us as we explore the transformation from goal-centered thinking to the power of setting high standards. Discover how adopting standards in your life can help you overcome challenges, stay committed, and achieve your dreams.

One of his first endeavors, Cause Medic, a CBD skincare brand focused solely on the spa, health club and fitness industries, began after his mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Trying to heal the leg spasms she was experiencing, Hugh researched how CBD could be used to help treat spasticity since traditional muscle relaxers weren't working. Cause Medic has a proprietary micro-encapsulation process for increasing the solubility of CBD through the skin. The brand has its own dedicated spa, Cause Medic Spa, in Buena Vista Colorado, where all new cutting-edge CBD treatments are tested. Cause Medic has won multiple awards including Organic Spa Magazine's “Top CBD Skincare Brand of 2020.” In 2018, Hugh continued to concentrate on clean ingredients and green packaging and co-founded his next company, Clean Republic. Clean Republic is a healthier cleaning and disinfecting alternative to the harsh and harmful chemical cleaners, such as quaternary ammonium compounds, currently being used today. Hugh and his partner discovered that Hypochlorous Acid, the infection fighting compound found in human white blood cells, when synthesized correctly with only salt, water and electricity, is a 200x stronger germ-killer than bleach and safe for human health. Clean Republic is now registered with the EPA as a hospital-grade disinfectant and is registered to kill Covid-19 and other viruses and bacteria. The brand was awarded the lowest rating of toxicity available for an EPA hospital-grade disinfectant. Clean Republic won the Better Homes & Gardens Best Disinfectant Award in 2021. Hugh is an avid rock climber and outdoorsman. He lives in Colorado with his wife Thompsie.

What Should You Delete? ~ Quality Of Life Question  Hello beautiful humans, thank you for listening and supporting the Thrive Forever Fit Show. It truly means the world to me that you take time out of your precious day to listen to me ramble and rant about things I found entertaining, engaging, and meaningful.  Show Sponsor: SpaStar www.spastar.net The Get Ready Wrap™ is spa-inspired and made for virtually every body.

This luxury spa wrap is perfect for spa treatments, beauty rituals, special occasions, getting ready, makeup tutorials, travel, by the pool, and the gym bag.Discount Code to Save 15% Off Your Get Ready Wrap: THRIVE15 In this thought-provoking episode titled "What Should You Delete? ~ Quality of Life Question," we explore the powerful question: What can I remove or delete without damaging the integrity of the mission? By gaining clarity on our mission, which centers around abundance, happiness, joy, love, and freedom, we embark on a journey of personal optimization. We begin by recognizing that the quality of our lives is influenced by the quality of the questions we ask ourselves and the right people. Rather than seeking advice from those who may lead us astray, we focus on introspection and pose questions that align with our mission. To enhance our lives, we examine different areas through various filters. Starting with wellness, we challenge the notion of "bad food" and instead emphasize making conscious decisions about the quality and quantity of what we consume. We prioritize real, unprocessed foods created by Mother Nature, avoiding "food-like" lab creations that are packaged and chemically altered. In the realm of fitness and movement, we let go of marathon training sessions, high-intensity cardio, and high-risk, low-reward movements. We recognize the futility of comparison and prioritize exercises that support our well-being without unnecessary strain. When it comes to sleep, we eliminate late nights, excessive TV consumption before bed, and minimize interactions on social media, particularly in the evenings. We recognize the impact of alcohol consumption and afternoon caffeine on our sleep quality and opt for more mindful communication and conversations. Shifting our focus to personal relationships, we address the importance of acknowledging and addressing negative influences. We let go of old stories and comparisons that hinder our growth. We limit consumption of negativity, drama, and nonsensical narratives. We embrace the mindset of being a creator rather than a consumer, avoiding mass media, news, and excessive social media usage. In our personal and self-domain, we release the need to be right, confront unnecessary fear, and let go of perfectionism. We recognize that life can be easy and discard the notion that pain and struggle are necessary components of our journey. Within our relationships, we distance ourselves from net negative people, non-reciprocal relationships, and those who thrive on drama and problems. We seek stability, ambition, and passion in our connections, while avoiding low-frequency individuals and perpetual victims. By examining and eliminating these aspects from our lives, we enhance our journey towards personal optimization, aligning with our mission of abundance, happiness, joy, love, and freedom. Join us as we explore the power of elimination to enhance the quality of our lives and create a path towards true fulfillment.
