The fastest way to scale your firm might not be more hours in the office — it's the hours you spend sleeping and the fuel you put in your body. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill reveal why law firm owners can't afford to treat their health as an afterthought. From the science of sleep to the truth about nutrition, they share how optimizing your body is the ultimate unfair advantage for building a thriving practice.

In this episode of the Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Brad sits down with cohost Craig Smith, a licensed clinical therapist, to tackle a heavy but important topic: how we process emotions, grief, and potential trauma With the recent events unfolding in the United States, we felt it was the right time to open up a conversation about the different ways people work through heavy emotions. Everyone's process is unique, but when left unchecked, unresolved grief and trauma can spiral into unhealthy decisions that affect not only your mental and emotional wellbeing, but also your physical health and fitness. Craig shares strategies he's seen work best for his clients, while Brad highlights how these struggles often show up in the health and fitness space. Together, they unpack how to approach emotional processing in a way that allows you to move forward rather than stay stuck. If you've ever struggled with grief, trauma, or simply managing heavy emotions, this episode is for you. It's a reminder that healing looks different for everyone—and that caring for your emotional health is just as critical as your physical health.

If live feels extremely heavy right now, you're not alone. I once had a conversation with a mentor around this topic about what to do when life is just heavy.  Sometimes we're weighed down because we aren't managing our thoughts well. Sometimes it's because we're in environments that don't serve us.  But other times, life is just heavy and no amount of mindset work or environment shifts seem to fix it right away. In those moments, the best thing we can do is support ourselves until the heaviness passes. In this episode, I share practical and compassionate ways to care for yourself when you feel overwhelmed. We'll talk about why stepping away from social media protects your mental space, and how serving others whether with a simple text or through volunteering can actually ease your own burdens.  You'll hear about the power of healthy community and why it's vital to resist the urge to isolate. I'll also share ideas for lighthearted activities that bring a sense of play, and small but powerful actions you can take for your body, like cooking a nourishing meal or going on a walk. We'll close by exploring gratitude practices, future-focused dreaming, and the importance of remembering that emotional states are temporary. Life isn't meant to feel easy all the time, but with the right tools, you can support yourself through the heavy seasons. Time Stamps: (2:02) Heavy Emotions This Week(6:02) The Extreme Recent Examples(9:11) Filling A Void Through Doom Scrolling(10:32) Doing Something For Someone Else(11:02) Get Around Community(16:07) Finding Playful Activities(23:42) Daydreaming About The Future---------------------Follow Abbe on IG: @Blowoutsbyabbeandmore---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina is sharing the real story behind her health and fitness journey, not just the progress or the highlight reel, but the missteps, the mindset traps, and the lessons she wishes someone had told her sooner.From restricting food and chasing smaller at all costs, to thinking she had to be 100% all the time or not at all, Kristina learned a lot the hard way. She ignored her body's signals, burned herself out, under-fueled, and let an outdated identity keep her stuck in cycles that didn't serve her.Now, she's walking you through the exact mistakes she made so you don't have to repeat them. Whether you're just starting out or feel like you keep “falling off,” this episode is your reminder: you're not behind, you're evolving, and you're doing better than you give yourself credit for.WATCH ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/@kristinaturnure/podcastsNASH BARS:https://nashnutrition.co/BUILT & BALANCED GROUP COACHING:⁠https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/⁠BUILT AND BALANCED VIP COACHING:⁠⁠⁠Https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScV_IGO2VhRV415iIsiHz6TGr76wuH-loG2eGt068pZG474qw/viewform⁠⁠BUILT & BALANCED NEWSLETTER:⁠⁠⁠https://builtandbalanced.kit.com/dd0f3197cc⁠⁠⁠LIFE REWIRED IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/LIFEREWIREDPODCAST/?utm_medium=copy_link⁠⁠KRIS IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristinaturnure/?hl=en⁠⁠PTULA: DISCOUNT CODE KRISTINAT ⁠https://www.ptula.com/⁠

What if your weight never affected your confidence again? Think about it… even when we've made peace with our bodies, weight has a sneaky way of creeping back in—through Instagram scrolls, offhand comments, or that tireless voice in our head. And suddenly, you're pulled back into the weight loss obsession you swore you'd left behind. If you've ever felt stuck on the scale, guilty around food, or wondered how to stop yo-yo dieting, this one's for you. TIMESTAMPS 00:02 – Why Your Weight Loss Journey Keeps You Running Circles06:45 – The Biggest Loser & What Actually Works Against You in Weight Loss14:20 – How to Stop Yo-Yo Dieting & Boost Mindful Eating22:05 – Building a Healthy Lifestyle Without Numbers or Shame Motivation30:40 – Building Confidence the Non-Diet Way This episode isn't about your weight loss journey. And it isn't about ignoring health—it's about shifting how we see weight, and how much it gets in the way of building a healthy lifestyle. In this health podcast episode: ·       Why shame never works for weight loss motivation: and how to rethink the way you talk about your body ·       How to stop yo-yo dieting: by healing your relationship with food instead of cutting more calories or avoiding your favourite foods. ·       Health without numbers: what it feels like to live in a body you care for—without letting the scale control your confidence. Build a body image that empowers you, not punishes you. Imagine a life where your worth is never measured in pounds or kilos. It starts now… Listen here!

If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of losing weight, regaining it, and then starting over again, you're not alone. Today we're unpacking yo-yo dieting. Why it happens, what it does to your body, and how to finally break free. Yo-yo dieting often starts with extreme calorie restriction, leading to rapid weight loss that looks successful on the surface. But beneath the scale, your body is losing muscle, becoming inflamed, and stressing your hormones. Inevitably, the restrictive approach becomes impossible to maintain, weight creeps back on (often as fat rather than muscle), and the cycle repeats, sometimes with even greater difficulty losing weight each time. We'll dive into the hidden consequences of yo-yo dieting, from slower metabolism and muscle loss to leptin resistance, where your hunger and fullness hormones stop working properly. This not only makes weight loss harder but also increases cravings, fat storage, and frustration while taking a serious toll on mental health. But it's not all bad news. Breaking free from yo-yo dieting is possible by shifting focus from quick fixes to long-term, sustainable habits. We'll talk about the importance of fueling your body, rebuilding metabolic health, and supporting your hormones with balanced nutrition and consistency. You'll also hear about our client Kayla, who went from eating less than 1,300 calories per day without results, to eating hundreds more, feeling better than ever, and finally seeing her body respond. Her story proves that nourishment, not restriction, is the foundation for lasting health. If you're tired of the yo-yo rollercoaster, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to move toward real, sustainable change. Time Stamps: (1:21) Omar's Favorite Trait about Vanessa(4:20) Yo-Yo Dieting(5:56) Characteristics of Yo-Yo Dieting(11:56) Weight Regain(13:32) Cycle Repetition(15:42) Why Yo-Yo Dieting Doesn't Work(21:44) Leptin Resistance(31:28) Please Share This Episode---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Staying lean isn't about overhauling your entire lifestyle overnight. it's about stacking small, sustainable habits that actually stick. In this episode, we dive into the everyday choices that make the biggest difference when it comes to feeling strong, energetic, and confident year-round. We start by talking about why highly satiating foods are your best friend (especially during those times when hunger seems dialed up) and how minimizing calorie-dense “extras” can keep you feeling satisfied without the crash. From there, we break down the power of a “something over nothing” mentality when it comes to resistance training because it's not about perfection, it's about consistency. You'll also hear why making physical activity a lifestyle is key. Omar shares how Spartan races with his family keep him motivated, I talk about my time riding horses, and we both agree that nothing beats a simple walk. We also unpack the sneaky calories that come from what we drink, why sleep is the real performance enhancer, and how patience and consistency are often the missing ingredients in most fitness journeys. Most importantly, we'll remind you not to obsess over the scale or occasional feelings of heaviness. Progress is much deeper than a number. And when it comes to food, just because it's free doesn't mean you have to eat it. The goal is to choose intentionally, not impulsively. If you've been searching for a realistic, non-extreme approach to staying lean, this episode will give you practical tools and a mindset shift that can last a lifetime. Time Stamps: (1:17) Omar's High and Low This Week(4:17) Ultramarathon Runner's Perspective(6:17) Fresh Spin On An Old Topic(7:08) Small Habits For Staying Lean(9:30) #1: Choose Highly Satiating Foods(13:27) #2: Resistance Train: Something Over Nothing Mentality(15:22) #3: Make Physical Activity A Lifestyle(17:45) #4: Don't Drink Our Calories(19:44) #5: Prioritize Sleep(20:28) #6: Practice Consistency and Patience(21:27) #7: Don't Obsess Over The Scale or Occasional Feelings of Heaviness(23:04) #8: Free Doesn't Mean You Need to Eat It---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

If you've ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren't random; they're your body's way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance.  Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we'll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on different schedules. If one department has a problem, the alarm goes off at that time. By tracking your wake-up patterns, you can start to see the clues your body is leaving. We'll dive into the most common causes, from blood sugar dips and cortisol spikes, to low progesterone, high histamine, and even liver overload. You'll hear simple analogies like your brain's “glass of wine” being empty without progesterone, or your liver as the night shift cleaner making noise when it's overloaded that make these complex concepts easy to understand. We'll also cover lifestyle factors like blue light, meal timing, hydration, and circadian rhythm, because sometimes the simplest tweaks make the biggest difference.  By the end, you'll know how to decode your body's signals, track what's really happening, and take small, sustainable steps toward better sleep. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. This episode will help you finally understand the messages and reclaim deep, restorative rest.  Time Stamps:  (1:25) Upcoming Retreat (3:22) Why Do I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night? (5:50) Timing Of When You're Waking Up At Night (8:47) 1 to 3 AM and The Liver (9:32) Dryer Lint Talk (11:09) Common Causes of Waking Up (15:17) Cortisol and Blood Sugar (18:05) Low Progesterone (23:54) Dehydration (26:50) Gut Imbalances (29:39) Lifestyle Factors (32:41) First Steps---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Being obedient to Christ and going against some of natural human wants and needs can be difficult at times. Espeically, especially if you are on the right path with this and start feeling your worth and value through Christ and the enemy sees it, he knows? shewww girl we then got a target on our back for some stupid enemy schemes and mind games coming our way. Doing what's right isn't always butterflies and rainbows. Doing what's right doesn't necessarily always FEEL good. It isn't always convenient. Its not always comfortable. But it's always going to be used for HIS glory. He always has a plan for us. He always sees the beauty before we do in the outcomes. & that goes right along with our fitness journeys too! 

If I could go back and start my fitness journey all over again? I'd do a lot less spinning my wheels, and a lot more of what actually works.In this Q&A episode, I'm breaking down exactly what I'd do differently if I were starting from scratch today. No fake motivation. No shiny routines. Just the five shifts that would've saved me years of burnout, frustration, and wasted energy.We're talking about why lifting weights (intentionally, not endlessly) would be my day one move, why soreness and sweat mean less than you think, and how protein and walking changed everything for me, but not in the way Instagram makes it seem.I'm also getting into the habits I used to skip that now feel non-negotiable and why I wish I'd stopped treating under-eating like a flex.If you're in your start-over era, or just tired of doing the most and feeling the least, this one's for you.What's Discussed:  (00:00) If I could start my fitness journey over…(05:08) Why strength training would be my day one(08:03) The truth about soreness and sweat(13:56) How under-eating held me back(17:33) Walking for recovery, not just rings(20:11) The warm-up I used to skip (and now swear by)(24:14) You don't need more, you need the right thingsThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

Ever feel like your cravings (or impulses) have control over you?In this episode, we're breaking down a simple but powerful process to take back your power without relying on willpower alone. You'll learn how to pause in the moment, understand why the urge is there, and see it for what it really is (hint: you won't explode if you don't give in).  I'll walk you through how to write down the urge, your perceived reasons for acting on it, and then uncover the true cost of giving in. From there, we'll make a decision from a slower, clearer place rather than from that instant “must do it now” energy. I'll also share a personal example of how I've experienced this urge loop in my work life, and how simply planning when I'll handle something helps my brain relax. We'll talk about why saying “no” often makes the urge stronger at first and how to ride it like a wave instead of letting it sweep you away.  Think of it like handling an angry toddler's tantrum: it feels intense, but it passes.  By the end, you'll have a repeatable framework for handling cravings, emotional eating triggers, or even those distracting work pings that derail your focus. This is your guide to breaking the cycle and building self-trust one urge at a time. Time Stamps: (2:20) Guilt and Cravings (3:54) Imagine This Scenario (6:30) Urge on Answering A Message Example (11:50) Everything Is A Tradeoff (15:10) Building The Self Trust Muscle---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Hey beautiful human, today we're talking about something I think a lot of women are feeling right now, even if they haven't quite put it into words yet: mindful movement. I want to explore what it can actually look like when we apply it to fitness. And why softness doesn't mean weakness—and how honoring your body doesn't mean giving up on your goals.   What I discuss:   Five ways to embrace softer, more intentional movement without losing progress A better understanding of what “softness” in fitness actually looks like Tips for balancing structure with grace, discipline with flexibility Permission to pursue your goals without hustle culture energy And ideas for building a routine that truly supports your whole self—mind, body, and heart   Also, if you loved this episode, you'll also love Episode 413: The Importance of a Rest Day: Don't Let Overexercising Ruin Your Progress.  If you want more from me, be sure to check out…  Follow me on Instagram: @juliealedbetter | @embraceyourreal | @movementwithjulie Movement With Julie | App: https://sale.movementwithjulie.com/ Macro Counting Made Simple Online Academy: https://www.macrocountingmadesimple.com/ Website: www.juliealedbetter.com

You've been doing “all the right things” for a few weeks. Eating better, moving your body but the scale hasn't budged. Sound familiar? That's not failure.  That's normal. In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable truth: healing and real transformation take time, often much longer than we want. You'll hear why quick fixes and crash diets set you up for disappointment, and why slow, steady progress is the only path to sustainable change.  We'll talk about prepping your body before weight loss even begins, what to expect when you start eating more, and why discomfort (yes, including hunger and resistance) is part of the journey. I also share what it took for me to transform over two years and why I still don't believe in a “finish line.”  If you're frustrated with your progress or tempted to give up after a few weeks, this episode will reframe everything. Healing is possible. It just doesn't happen overnight. Time Stamps: (1:17) A Little Sickness In The Pozos Household (3:42) My Healing Journey (5:20) Stock Market Analogy (11:47) The Continuous Process (16:17) Discomfort Is a Feeling (19:22) So Much To Learn Still (20:54) There's No Finish Line---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

It's an honest look at the mistakes we made and what really matters for long-term success.

Hey hey, beautiful human! If you've ever felt judged, misunderstood, or even a little bit discouraged by other people's opinions about your fitness goals… this episode is for you. We're diving into a mindset shift that's helped me so much, especially when people don't get why I pack my meals, prioritize my workouts, or count my macros. It's based on Mel Robbins' “Let Them” theory, and trust me, it's a total game-changer. What I discuss: Why you don't need to explain your fitness goals to anyone How to stay consistent when others around you aren't Why their judgment says more about them than it does about you Three mindset shifts to stay focused, confident, and committed This episode is your permission slip to stop seeking approval, protect your energy, and keep building the body you want, no matter what others say. Let them talk. You? You keep showing up. If you loved this episode, you'll also love Episode 523: Choosing Yourself: What It Really Means and Why It's Time to Start.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Michael Guadagnino III—a longtime chiropractor, author of Fitness Over 50, 60, 70, and Beyond, and just an all-around guy who gets it when it comes to health, family, and purpose. Dr. G has been helping people get healthier for over 30 years, but what really stands out is his heart for people who feel like they've missed their chance to get fit or feel good again. Whether you're just starting, restarting, or pushing forward in your 50s, 60s, or 70s, this episode is full of real, practical takeaways. We talk about: Why he left a successful practice to be present for his kids How small changes and consistency lead to big results Why your age shouldn't define your fitness What inspired his book and how it's helping people take action The cool things he's built in his hometown—pickleball courts, walking paths, outdoor fitness gear—for adults who want to keep moving This one's for anyone who's ever thought, “Is it too late to start?” Dr. G says no way—and lives it every day.
