Weight Loss & Wellness For Real

We've been told that pushing harder, grinding through, and “toughing it out” is the path to success. But what if that old model of mental toughness is actually holding you back?In this episode we flip the script on everything you thought you knew about resilience, motivation, and performance—especially as we age. We unpack the science of the nervous system, reveal how chronic stress sabotages progress, and introduce a revolutionary (and far more effective) approach to strength: building from safety, not suppression.With real-life examples, and science-backed strategies you can use immediately, you'll learn how to shift from burnout to breakthrough—and why regulating your nervous system might just be the most badass thing you ever do.If you've ever felt like you were doing “everything right” but still stuck in fatigue, fear, or frustration, this episode is for you.Listen in and redefine what it truly means to be strong.My Website: https://www.heatherheynen.comFollow me:IG: @heynencounselingandcoachingFB: Heather HeynenYouTube: Heather Heynen WellnessLink to the NO-PREP, NO-COOK MEAL PLAN PDF https://heatherheynen.com/store Link to the HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH FIBER EATING GUIDE PDF https://heatherheynen.com/store Link to my ebook High Protein, Easy Recipes:my-downloadable-530035Please support this show's affiliates:David Protein Bars: Highest Protein, No Sugar, Lowest Calorie, Best Tasting protein bar out there! https://davidprotein.com/HEATHERPhysiVantage: The Best Whey Protein, Collagen & Morehttps://physivantage.com/?ref=HEATHERHEYNENEnter Discount Code HEATHERHEYNEN at checkoutThorne Supplements (High Quality Supps) Get 10% off with this link:https://www.thorne.com/u/PR12562435Strands: Affordable, easy food intolerance testing for humans and pets!  https://www.5strands.com/#HeatherHeynen.

Did you know that a staggering 88% of adults experience some form of insulin resistance, often without even realizing it? Insulin resistance is a silent contributor to many chronic health conditions, including Alzheimer's, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this episode, we dive deep into why this condition is so pervasive, yet easy to overlook. We'll explore how small but powerful changes to your diet, lifestyle, and mindset can help reverse insulin resistance, and why the ultimate goal isn't just weight loss, but true body recomposition and lasting behavior change. Tune in to learn how you can take control of your health for the long term! DR. MORGAN NOLTE is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. Recognizing a lack of preventative education and care that focused on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms, Dr. Nolte founded Zivli, an online course and coaching program that helps adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention.  Dr. Nolte's content has reached millions of people through her podcast and YouTube channel, which now has over 100,000 subscribers. She's been a guest lecturer for local physical therapy departments, State and National Physical Therapy Organizations, and has been a guest addressing insulin resistance on top-rated wellness podcasts including Everyday Wellness with Cynthia Thurlow, The Ultimate Health Podcast, and the Dhru Purohit Show. www.Zivli.com IG: @drmorgannolte FB: Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli YouTube: Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli My Website: https://www.heatherheynen.com Follow me: IG: @heynencounselingandcoaching FB: Heather Heynen YouTube: Heather Heynen Wellness Link to my Online Course: End Binge Eating, Overeating & Emotional Eating For Good mindful-eating-mastery-overcome-binge-eating-over-eating-emotional-eating Link to my Online Course: Natural Appetite Regulation: Actionable & Simple Strategies for Weight Loss And Normalizing the Appetite https://heather-heynen-s-school.teachable.com/p/natural-appetite-regulation-strategies-and-skills-for-weight-loss-weight-maintenance Link to my Online Course: When You're Ready To Stop The Weight Loss Medication: A Comprehensive Guide To Natural Weight Maintenance & Mastery weight-maintenance-mastery-exactly-how-to-keep-the-weight-off-after-drug-based-weight-loss Link to my ebook High Protein, Easy Recipes: my-downloadable-530035 Please support this show's affiliates: PhysiVantage: The Best Whey Protein, Collagen & More https://physivantage.com/?ref=HEATHERHEYNEN Enter Discount Code HEATHERHEYNEN at checkout Thorne Supplements (High Quality Supps) Get 10% off with this link: https://www.thorne.com/u/PR1256243 5Strands: Affordable, easy food intolerance testing for humans and pets!  https://www.5strands.com/#HeatherHeynen.
