Weight Loss for Busy CRNA Moms

In today's podcast, I want to talk to you about a concept that is crucial to weight loss. To make permanent change in your actions, your lifestyle, and your approach to food you have to create a permanent change in your thinking about those things. In this podcast I give you two examples of how your brain can be holding you back from embracing a new way of eating forever and engaging in joy outside of food. Happy listening!

So today we are going to talk about weight loss medications. These medications have been a real hot topic and I've been getting a lot of questions so I thought I would do a podcast on it. In this podcast I am going to dive into: How they work. How they work best. Why they might not be working for you... and What to do about it. Take a listen. My best, Brit weightlossbybrittany.com

I want you to think very hard about the role food plays in your life. Is it just fuel for your body and sometimes pure joy? Or is it more than that? Is it a break? Is it a delay tactic? Is it a pick me up? I think we all develop habits of using food as something other than its intended use. In today's podcast we talk about what role food is playing in our lives, and if that isn't working well for us, what needs to be different in order to not use food in that way. It's a doozy. The good news? Once we can figure this out, we get to enjoy food or coffee or booze, you name it, just because you enjoy it, not as a way to make something else better or more tolerable.

Holiday Protocol Guide for how not to gain a bunch of weight this holiday season would not be completely without including these crucial tips. These tools will definitely set you up for success. Take a listen! To get the rest of the Holiday Protocol Guide click here.

Holiday Protocol Step #4: Utilize the Hunger Scale… all of the time. The Hunger Scale is the magical thing that helps us know when to eat and when to stop eating. Instead of listening to a clock or an app or a rigid schedule some fitness app gave you, you listen to your… drum roll please… body!!!! Yes! You listen to your body. Your body is SO good at telling you when you should eat and when you've had enough food especially when you are eating the right foods that help balance out your hormones and reduce cravings… It makes listening to your body SO much easier.

Step #1: Make and follow a plan. Step #2: Anticipate Cravings and Feel them Step #3: Plan for the refined carbohydrates and sugar you love this holiday season!!! Wait what? Yes. I am a Weight Loss Coach… I've helped my clients lose well over 700 pounds and I am telling you, as part of your Holiday Protocol I want you to plan to eat the holiday treats you love. In the Weight Loss by Brittany World… part of your protocol is including off protocol things on your plan, 24 hours in advance, and enjoying the heck out of them. Guilt free. So think about the things you love. Not the stuff that is “eh…” I mean the thing that you love the most. For me? My Dad's Dilly Bread and my husband's Peanut Butter Pie and some seasonal high quality ice cream are going to be at the top of my list. I am going to make a plan for them and enjoy them. For more details on how to do this for you, take a listen to this podcast. For the rest of the Holiday Protocol, click here.

It's the holiday season. Ton's of off protocol stuff is going to be available ALL OF THE TIME. It's inevitable. Rather than avoiding the holiday parties or staying out of the break room, let's learn to manage the cravings once and for all. In this podcast I am going to tell you just how to do that… you ready? Let's go. For the rest of the Holiday Protocol, click here to download the Guide.

I used to gain AT LEAST 5-15 pounds EVERY YEAR from Halloween to New Year's. It all started with leftover halloween candy. And Halloween candy would become Christmas cookies and cocktails.. I'd gain about 1-2 pounds per week, or about 15# in 2 months. In other words, I was starting off the new year with an extra 15 pounds to lose and a lot of guilt. That stopped 3 years ago. At first I was unsure how to do it…. I had never gone through an entire holiday season without having to retire my jeans IN January and live in sweatpants UNTIL February when I could fit back into them… And I thought.. How will I go to holiday parties, have fun and not feel deprived? How will I enjoy my favorite holiday foods without needing a larger scrub size on January 1st? Then I figured it out… This is how I did it in a few simple steps: I created my protocol, a week's worth of planned meals, and a shopping list to make cooking and grocery shopping easy I stuck to my protocol I lost weight Since the holiday season is upon us and you might be trying to avoid the Holiday 15 while you juggle sick kids, winter sports AND a heavier OR schedule, I created a simple plan that you can start—TODAY. This is the Weight Loss by Brittany Way to Navigate the Holidays. In this email, you'll find Step #1: Plan your food. This is my personal food plan that I utilize all of the time. In fact, it's probably what I'm eating right now :) This plan includes.. 4 days of meals A grocery list A step by step preparation guide Tips for making food prep easy Click below to download the guide and let's say goodbye to the Holiday 15 FOR GOOD.

What if I told you that the only thing holding you back from losing weight and keeping it off....is your ability to feel an emotion. That's it. If you can feel an emotion instead of eating... if you can support yourself through any discomfort, you can, and will get the results you want. It's easier said than done, but you CAN do it. In this week's podcast we dive in.

When I was on weight watchers for the umpteenth time, I vividly remember how much I hated spending time preparing meals. Everything I did took a lot of time and dirtied a lot of measuring spoons and dishes. The meals always involved eating a lot of vegetables or else you would run out of points and be starving. The meals as a whole were never satisfying or delicious… and the vegetables were an obligation, not something I really wanted. Between the time, the complication, and the general apathy toward the food I was eating, it's no wonder I didn't like anything about losing weight that way. Two things have changed since then… I now see vegetables as a vital part of long term health and weight loss success, and I've learned how to make them easily and in ways that are delicious. In this process, I developed the skill set to prepare food in a quick way, including lots of vegetables, that I enjoy and look forward to eating that have helped my clients and I lose and maintain our weight loss. I share all of my secrets with you in this podcast. Take a listen. If you have any questions or need any help, don't hesitate to reach out. My best, Brit

In coaching we experience something called breakthroughs. Breakthroughs occur when we start to understand how our thoughts have been leading to our results. We come to understand why we are the way we are. We start to heal the parts of us that are hurting, and we are able to make peace and move forward. In this podcast I add some additional examples of breakthroughs I've had in ways you might be able to relate. Ultimately, I want you to figure out who you are, want you want, and operate from a place of your own authentic values in your life. Once you do that, the process of weight loss becomes so much easier. Take a listen For more information on my Group Program Starting This Fall, Click Here.

This might sound surprising…. but… Did you know… I've had at least 3 times where I have gained a bit of weight BACK since I initially lost the weight?For real. I'm human too. (Crazy, right?) I have a human body and a human brain. During previous weight loss attempts I would have told myself “I'm messing up," “I knew I couldn't keep this weight off,” “I have no self control.” I would throw in the towel dive into half gallon of ice cream on the couch with the weight piling back on in no time. But now I handle these small upticks in the scale in a TOTALLY different way. I approach myself with curiosity, compassion, and love. I use the tools I've learned on this journey…. and… I figure it the F*** out. And the weight just comes back off. No shame, no drama, no empty half gallon containers of ice cream. In this podcast I'm going to break down each individual time where I gained weight back, how I figured out the issue and my solution to each situation. Whether you've been in my program or are still looking into it, you are not going to want to miss this.

So much of the messaging around weight loss is that it is the individual's fault for the results they are currently have. So if they are overweight or obese or don't have control around food, society tells us that there must be something wrong with that persons willpower or self worth and they they are just inherently broken people. Of course I don't believe that at all and in this podcast I'm going to explain why,  but I did believe that about myself for a long time, and most of my clients come to me saying “I'm not strong enough,” “I can do everything else, why can't I do this” or “something is seriously wrong with me” or “I'm in healthcare, I know EVERYTHING there is to know about nutrition, I council my patients on this stuff, but why can't I get it right myself.”I wanted to learn more myself about why willpower doesn't work, so I decided to read the book "Dopamine Nation" by Dr. Anna Lembke and share  some of the amazing things I learned as they relate to food and weight loss in this podcast.  If you are looking for more individualized help with this and know you also might have an emotional relationship with food, I am happy to help you navigate that.

This holiday season was much different than any other holiday season. It had more love, gratitude, joy and connection than I could ever remember. I think coaching has been the key to creating that reality. In this podcast I dive into how I've contributed to disconnect and fractures in my relationships with the people I love and how I want to show up moving forward. If you feel the same sense of frustration and resentment toward the people you love in your life, coaching can really help you move forward in those relationships in a way that will feel better. If you are looking for more help I am here for you. As a bonus- When you feel less resenting, anger, and frustration you find yourself not wanting to eat and overeat to buffer away those emotions.

Hi Friends! I wanted to do a quick podcast to address some great questions one my my CRNA Mom listeners had after for the holiday.  I hope you enjoy! One question she had was "Do you ever miss eating sugar." I forgot to mention in the podcast, that I honestly feel so much better when not eating sugar and flour on the regular especially from the standpoint of feeling bloated. I do eat sugar and flour with some regularity in the form of joy eats, like some amazing local ice cream, but I don't overeat it and honestly, I don't eat a ton of flour at this point. If you missed enrollment for my January group, feel free to get on my e-mail list to get on the waitlist for my next group. Head over to my website to get on the list and for more information. 

Have you ever considered eating things like ice cream, cookies, and alcohol mean that you are “off track?" It's like…. if you are eating those things then you are off track and if you aren't then you are on track??? What if eating those things, as part of your plan, was actually part of your “track” to permanent weight loss? And now that the holiday is over, there is no track to get on or off of, and instead you are still smoothly sailing on your personal track toward your weight loss goals. In this week's podcast, I address some amazing questions from a long time listener addressing just this issue. One question she had was "Do you ever miss eating sugar." I forgot to mention in the podcast, that I honestly feel so much better when not eating sugar and flour on the regular especially from the standpoint of feeling bloated.

Hi friends! This podcasts stems off the coattails of a conversation I had with my husband about boundaries. He didn't really understand the entire boundary concept, and it felt a bit sticky and unsettling to him. I totally get how other people might also have similar thoughts about it. I wanted to give some clarity about boundary enforcement in a way that hopefully helps it all make more sense.I am doing my first live webinar on December 18, 2022 at 11am EST to help you Gain Control Around Food This Holiday Season. I would love to help you confidently navigate food this holiday season. https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEqd-qurzkiGdwOc6GQB__9vxsMMdmnpXwL

“You heal your food stuff, you heal your money stuff, you lead a fuller, better life.” -Mariko Gordon, CFA a.k.a. “The Swiss Army Knife of Wealth Coaching” Mariko Gordon. CFA is a business, money, and wealth coach. She's also an amazing human being and I am so grateful to be in her orbit. Her life experience, skillset, training, world view, and educational background equip her to help you with just about anything relating to your mindset about money, business, investing, and wealth. She's incredibly smart: She went to high school with Barack Obama and graduated from Princeton. She understands money and business: she founded an institutional money management firm and built it from 0$ to $2.5 billion at its peak. She is also a LCS certified coach and a hypnotist. We did our LCS certification together, became great friends, and early on, she was kind enough to coach me on money, investing in my business, and marketing because she is amazing at that too. When we were coaching on money, we uncovered similar thought patterns and belief systems that were present when I was losing weight. Things I hadn't even thought of when it came to food I realized were also present in my money mindset. We thought it would be so fun to do a podcast together to talk about these similarities. Because at the end of the day, it's never just about the food or the money – it's about old patterns, beliefs, and your relationship to yourself.The good news? As you get unstuck on your weight loss journey, you will also find that you can unstick your money stuff. Subscribe to Mariko's weekly money mash note Cultivate Your Riches (Inner and Outer) here .
