Send us Fan MailHave you been "about to start exercising" for longer than you'd like to admit? You're not lazy — you're human. And that's exactly the problem this episode solves.In Part 1 of this two-part series, we're ditching the motivation myth and replacing it with something that actually works: a simple, research-backed system that takes the decision-making out of exercise entirely. Because the hardest part of working out isn't doing it — it's deciding whether to do it.We're covering three practical strategies: how to track your movement so your brain stays in the game, how to pre-decide your "when and where" so you stop negotiating with yourself at the worst possible moment, and how to set up your environment so starting feels almost effortless.No gym membership required. No perfect schedule. Just a system your brain can actually follow.Don't miss Part 2 next week — that's where we talk about how to make your brain WANT to come back to exercise again and again. Quote of the week: "We are what we repeatedly do.

In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy dives deep into the psychology of ultra-processed foods, compulsive eating, shame, and why so many people feel trapped in unhealthy food cycles. This conversation goes far beyond calories and willpower. Dr. McCarthy explains how ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods are intentionally engineered to drive repeat consumption, how emotional memories and stress shape cravings, and why shame-based nutrition advice often makes the problem worse instead of better. Topics covered in this episode include: • How ultra-processed foods affect the brain • Why compulsive eating is learned — and can be unlearned • The connection between trauma, stress, and food cravings • The difference between guilt and shame • How marketing and emotional associations shape eating habits • Why “clean eating” language can be harmful • The neuroscience of cravings, dopamine, serotonin, and reward • What real freedom with food actually looks like • Why self-compassion matters in healing If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of emotional eating, binge eating, food guilt, or shame around nutrition, this episode is for you.  

In this special Maintenance & Mindfulness episode, Odette and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Beverley David explore the mental shift that comes with moving from weight loss into maintenance, and why maintaining weight can feel just as challenging as losing it. They unpack food noise, identity changes, body image, and the emotional side of sustainable weight loss, while sharing practical insights on letting go of old diet mentalities and building trust in yourself and your body. If you've ever wondered how to stop obsessing over the scale, navigate mindset changes after weight loss, or create lasting healthy habits without falling back into dieting patterns, this one is for you.Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

Why do we have food noise in the first place?!Gina Livy sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David to explore how the brain's need for reward, feedback, and emotional support influences your habits and motivation to make change. Feeling bored or restless isn't a sign that something isn't working, but a normal part of the process of change. This conversation connects the science of behaviour change with the realities of sustainable weight loss, reinforcing that it is about building awareness and continuing to show up even when it feels repetitive (in fact, building new habits is exactly how you rewire your brain!). Finally, Gina and Dr. Beverley dig into what nobody is talking about: where does food noise come from anyway?Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

Jodi Scott, CEO and co-founder of Green Goo by Spry Life, shares her journey in creating plant-based first aid and personal care products. She discusses the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship, the importance of efficacy in natural products, and how her family plays a crucial role in the business. Jodi also addresses the impact of economic changes and tariffs on her company, and how technology, particularly AI, is helping to scale operations. The conversation highlights the significance of clean living and the potential of plant-based solutions in the health and wellness industry.TakeawaysGreen Goo focuses on plant-based first aid and personal care products.The company aims to provide effective alternatives to chemical-laden products.Jodi's sister, an herbalist, plays a key role in product development.The manufacturing process protects the integrity of the plants used.Green Goo products are designed for multiple uses, reducing the need for many items.Jodi's entrepreneurial journey began unexpectedly with a bed and breakfast.The company scaled rapidly, reaching 150,000 distribution points in five years.COVID-19 forced the company to pivot and adapt its business model.AI and technology are being leveraged to improve efficiencies.Family involvement is central to the company's operations and culture.Chapters00:00Introduction to Green Goo and Jodi Scott02:01The Birth of Green Goo: A New Approach to First Aid05:16The Efficacy of Plant-Based Solutions07:03Jodi's Entrepreneurial Journey10:11Scaling the Business: Challenges and Triumphs11:48Navigating Business Partnerships and Buybacks12:42Leveraging Technology for Growth14:13Family Involvement in Business16:03Adapting to Economic Changes17:58Impact of Tariffs on Business19:18Closing Thoughts and Shameless Plug

Jodi Allison Scott is the co-founder of Green Goo, a plant-based first aid and skincare company built upon the belief that Nature could outperform the artificial and synthetic options found in most drugstores and medicine cabinets. With a Master's in Health Psychology and a focus in psychoneuroimmunology, her work bridges the gap between modern physiology and time-honored plant medicine.In this conversation, we explore how the body's internal state is shaped not just by what we take in, but what we put on, think, and repeatedly do. Jodi walks through her early work training physicians in a more holistic model, the moment she questioned what was actually in a standard first aid kit, and how that led to building a company rooted in plant intelligence and real-world outcomes.A central theme throughout is the role of the skin—not as a passive barrier, but as an active interface with the environment. It senses, signals, and participates in broader patterns tied to stress, inflammation, and overall balance. From the impact of synthetic ingredients to the way plant compounds can support the body's existing processes, the conversation connects the dots between surface-level inputs and deeper systemic effects.There's also a practical layer woven throughout: how small, repeatable habits influence the body's state over time, why presence matters more than perfection, and how reducing friction—whether chemical, environmental, or emotional—can shift the direction of those feedback loops.This one stays grounded in lived experience, from formulating products in a kitchen to navigating the loss and eventual reacquisition of the company, all while holding onto a simple premise: when you support the Terrain, the body responds accordingly.Learn more about Jodi and her work at https://www.greengoo.com/.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

In this episode, host Rose Campbell speaks with UCLA social welfare scholar Dr. Tatiana Londoño about the psychological and social toll of immigration enforcement on Latine/x immigrant communities in the United States. Drawing on both her personal experience as a Colombian immigrant and her years of research, Londoño explains how immigration policies, from the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform Act to post-9/11 security measures and more recent ICE expansions, have created a climate of chronic fear for many immigrant families. This climate of fear discourages families from accessing healthcare, schools, and other social services, creating long-term consequences for children's well-being. In the midst of these numerous challenges, Londoño emphasizes the resilience of immigrant communities and the importance of local advocacy and mutual aid networks. She encourages listeners to support community-based immigrant organizations, believe and validate the fears expressed by affected communities, and resist the normalization of policies and practices that produce widespread trauma.Tatiano Londoño is an Associate Professor of Social Welfare at UCLA. She is a first-generation Latina born in Colombia and raised in Miami, Florida. Throughout her career, she has received funding from various sources such as OLLI NOVA Diversity Scholarship, St. David's Foundation, Integrated Behavioral Health Scholars Program, and QuestBridge. Her work explores how Latine/x immigrant youth and families navigate and adapt to the psychosocial consequences of migration and resettlement. Her work is published in numerous academic journals including Family Process, The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Health Psychology, Journal of Adolescent Research, American Journal of Health Behavior, and Social Work in Mental Health.

Ok, straight up, this is a good one. Today, it's Gina with clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David for an honest conversation about why people often feel stuck during a weight loss journey and what to do about it. Together, they explore the psychological shift that happens when the early excitement of change fades, and the process becomes part of everyday life. Rather than seeing plateaus or boredom as failure, they reframe them as a sign that habits are beginning to move from discipline into identity. The discussion highlights the mental side of sustainable weight loss, encouraging listeners to trust the process, stay curious about their patterns, and recognize that real change comes from showing up consistently, even when the novelty wears off.Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

She co-founded Green Goo with her mother and sister in a small farmhouse kitchen, hand-crafting herbal salves that grew into a nationally distributed plant-based first aid brand carried in over 120,000 stores. With a background in biology, pre-med studies, and a Master's in Health Psychology, Jodi bridges traditional herbal medicine with modern science, focusing on clean healing, nervous system resilience, and reducing everyday endocrine disruptors. Her work emphasizes how small, thoughtful inputs compound over time, in health, leadership, and family systems. Jodi has lived every role inside a family business: product formulator, order packer, marketer, executive, and daughter. After selling Green Goo and later navigating a complex buyback to reclaim the company, she brings rare firsthand insight into continuity, conflict, trust, and alignment across generations. Today, Jodi works alongside her family running operations from their Colorado farm while mentoring other founders on building values-driven businesses that prioritize people, purpose, and long-term resilience. Her work sits at the intersection of wellness, entrepreneurship, and conscious family leadership.

Our kids are always learning from us. Our words and our example shape who they will become, a reality established by God as he has created individuals and families. This means that for better or for worse, our kids are watching, and what they see in us and from us will play a powerful role in shaping who they are. The Journal of Health Psychology is hammering this point home. They've found that there's some kind of connection between a mother who is frequently engaged with social media, specifically taking, editing, and posting selfies, and a daughter who is interested in having cosmetic surgery. It's believed that these daughters have adopted a kind of dissatisfaction with their appearance that they inherited from watching their mom's own dissatisfaction. Parents, we live in an appearance obsessed culture. Your obsessions will influence your kid's obsessions. We urge you to find your identity in the rock, Jesus Christ, and not in your appearance.

In this episode, Fred discusses how in college he got very interested in spiritual questions and read books, learned how to meditate, thought a lot about deeper meaning and opened a vegetarian restaurant in Santa Cruz. After having his first child, he went to graduate school and decided to do his dissertation on the topic of forgiveness, which was something that he struggled with in his own life, describing himself as “dramatically unable to forgive”. He shared that the dissertation was a great success and received a lot of media attention, which set him in this direction in his research. He shared how they went for a secular approach, because a religious approach involved a lot of tribalism, and they were all essentially different portals to enter into the work of forgiveness. They integrated mindfulness and a Buddhist influenced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which were not common in psychotherapy then. We discussed my interpretation of his work and how I've conceptualized is as forgiveness is for you, not for the other person who did the harm. Fred discusses the term “trauma” and how sometimes it is used in situations that may not be trauma, and labeling it that way can lead to blame, rather than the empathy for what one has gone through and allowing the person to cope with their life right now. He discussed how forgiveness can allow us to be more connected to what is happening with one's life, right now, in the present. He shared that an essential part of forgiveness is acknowledging our vulnerability, which never goes away, and accepting that vulnerability and not blaming that which reminds us of how vulnerable we are. He said he learned more about mindfulness from Jon Kabat Zinn, Ph.D. and how when you increase awareness, you increase choice. We discussed his work with people from Northern Ireland, Israel, Palestine, Sierra Leon, Columbia and people after 9-11 and how one of the hardest parts related to forgiveness is when there are different sides, as forgiveness may lead the person's “side” to label them as a traitor. In discussing how to forgive when the person is not safe because they may not be out of the situation, like Israel and Gaza, this lead to a discussion of what makes us safe. He shared that often armoring up, becoming bitter, and trusting others less and being more guarded may feel like it's protecting us, but it also limits our capacity for love and joy. He shared that mindfulness helps us bring ourselves back to the now and in this very moment, we are usually safe. He explained that our threat response overreaches, and combatting that overreach is important to connect us to our present safety and abundance that we may have. He discusses his new workbook, The Forgive for Good Recovery Workbook, that helps people through a process of forgiveness. He leaves us with one of his favorite quotes about forgiveness: "It's giving up all hope for a better past". Frederic Luskin, Ph.D. is a psychologist in Counseling and Health Psychology from Stanford University where he has been teaching for the past 30 years. Currently, he is on the faculty for the Stanford School of Business Executive Education program where he teaches mindfulness, emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and positive psychology to executives from all over the world. He serves as Director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Projects, researching the positive effects of forgiveness for a healthy and happy life. Fred is one of the world's recognized authorities on forgiveness of self and others. He's been interviewed and featured in such media outlets as The New York Times, O Magazine, Today Show, LA Times, Time Magazine, Huffington Post, and CBS Morning News. In addition, he's published 3 books and dozens of articles on forgiveness. His book Forgive for Good is the best-selling secular self-help book published on the topic of forgiveness.

In this groundbreaking episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with award-winning researcher and author Dr. Sarah Hill (This Is Your Brain on Birth Control) to reveal the shocking, little-known science of how hormonal contraception shapes not just your reproductive system, but your entire mind and body.From altered stress responses to shifts in attraction, depression risk in teens, and the controversial “bikini science” problem in medical research, Dr. Hill pulls back the curtain on decades of overlooked studies that every woman and parent should know about.

Eight babies have been born in the UK using genetic material from three people to prevent devastating and often fatal conditions. The method, pioneered by UK scientists, combines the egg and sperm from a mum and dad with a second egg from a donor woman. The technique has been legal in the UK for a decade but this is the first proof it is leading to children born free of incurable mitochondrial disease, which is normally passed from mother to child. Anita Rani is joined by Kat Kitto who has two daughters, one of whom has mitochondrial disease, and Louise Hyslop, consultant embryologist at the Newcastle Fertility Centre, to tell us more. Hit ITV crime drama Karen Pirie returns to our screens for a second series this weekend, based on the Val McDermid series of novels about a young Scottish detective. Anita is joined in the studio by showrunner, screenwriter and actor Emer Kenny to talk about bringing a new cold case to life for Karen to solve, juggling series two with a newborn, and how she's managed to combine acting and writing since landing her first big role as Zsa Zsa Carter in EastEnders at the age of 20.A Government review found that porn involving non-fatal strangulation was "rife" and its prevalence online was contributing to choking, filtering into some people's sex lives - particularly among young people. Last month it was announced that choking will be criminalised in an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. To discuss, Anita was joined by Professor Clare McGlynn, Professor of Law at Durham University who contributed to the review, and Dr Jane Meyrick, Associate Professor of Health Psychology at the University of the West of England, who specialises in sexual health and sexual violence. This week, throughout our series on women and gaming, we've heard about the influence that games can have in society. We've spoken to women working in the industry, and found out more about the impact gaming can have on women, but we can't shy away from the fact that there are still barriers stopping women from accessing games. Anita is joined by to Marie-Claire Isaaman, CEO of Women in Games, Nick Toole, CEO of Ukie, and Stephanie Ijoma, gamer and founder of NNESAGA, to discuss what still needs to change and how the industry can improve.

Why are women's health concerns still being dismissed and what can we do about it? The healthcare system was not built for women. For many of us, especially in midlife, our health concerns are dismissed, misunderstood, or flat-out ignored. And when you're navigating the storm of divorce at the same time as perimenopause or menopause? It can feel like you're unraveling.  I'm joined by Phoenix Rising member Kathy Gould, a holistic health coach, personal trainer, life coach, lactation consultant, and current grad student finishing her second Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. (I'm telling you, the women in Phoenix Rising are BADASS!) This episode started as a guest expert session inside Phoenix Rising (my divorce empowerment collective for women). The conversation was so powerful, I knew I had to bring it to the podcast. Kathy and I get into why the medical system has failed women, how we've been gaslit about our own bodies, and what it looks like to take our power back especially during times of massive upheaval like divorce. We are not meant to go through this quietly, and we are certainly not meant to go through it alone. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why women's health is dismissed, especially in midlife (6:11) The deep need for more open, supportive conversations around our wellness (12:14) The long-standing misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) (16:41) What Kathy recommends for women going through both divorce and menopause at the same time (35:15) How to advocate for yourself when doctors aren't listening (especially if they're covered by insurance) (41:59) Learn more about Kathy Gould: Kathy is an integrative holistic health coach, life coach and personal trainer. She is also a certified lactation consultant. She holds a Masters Degree in Health Psychology and is currently finishing a second Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Kathy is passionate about women's health and wellness and has dedicated her career to women's physical and emotional wellness. Resources & Links: Follow The Divorce Survival Guide on YouTube!

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest Dr. Emily Tunks, Founder of Embody Being and Research Trial Psychedelics Assisted Psychotherapist, to the podcast to explore her work in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for first responders and her passion for understanding potential somatic implications of psychedelic medicines. Dr. Tunks shares her experience and knowledge regarding therapist support and well-being, and discusses the need for integrating Indigenous wisdom into psychedelic research.   The conversation explores somatic and relational foundations in psychedelic therapy, and Dr. Tonks emphasizes the importance of somatic psychotherapy and relational depth in supporting clients through expanded states of consciousness. She advocates for an approach where nervous system regulation, co-regulation, and attachment repair are key components, especially when working with medicines like MDMA and psilocybin. Dr. Tunks questions the fixation on mystical experiences as therapeutic benchmarks. Instead, she proposes measuring success through the quality of the relational field, the client's safety, and their capacity to experience nourishment and trust.Dr. T and Truth Fairy discuss the therapist's experience with Dr. Tunks, especially in the areas of burnout, well-being, and regulation. They highlight the need for therapist preparation, including their own embodiment practices, peer support, and supervised exposure to non-ordinary states. Dr. Tunks identifies something called the “trough of disillusionment,” which she explains as the time where hype around psychedelics comes face-to-face with the reality of systemic limitations and poor trial design. There is a need to mature the movement and deepen ethics, which Dr. T and Truth Fairy address with Dr. Tunks.“You know you have contact highs, as you said, if you've done a work… if you have some neurodiversion in there. If you've got some, hopefully, some intuition. We are going to feel stuff. We are going to have contact highs and we're going to have trauma lows, and being able to hold relationships, you know, in a way that will also meet regulatory standards. Let's not forget that when we're working above ground, we have to always be able to justify our behavior to sometimes people who have never had a therapy session in their life, like our medical boards, our registration boards. They are in an old paradigm.” - Dr. Emily Tunks About Dr. Emily Tunks:Emily aims to support individuals understand their whole selves, body and mind, so that their health, relationships and life purpose may thrive, in spite of physical set-backs and ongoing challenges.Emily co-majored in Psychology and Psychophysiology at Swinburne University, and after obtaining first class honours, she was awarded a full scholarship to complete a Doctorate of Psychology (Health) at Deakin University. Her doctoral qualitative research investigated Australian specialists' attitudes and practices of end-of-life care and organ donation, which was published in a high impact, international SAGE scientific journal: Journal of Health Psychology (under previous name: E. Macvean). Emily is a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. and is endorsed in Health Psychology (AHPRA). She maintains a commitment to excellence through researching best-practice techniques and her strong understanding of health psychology, clinical psychology, attachment, physiology, somatic (body) psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, ecotherapy and psychoneuroimmunology. Both in session and outside, Emily draws on her modern practice of Eastern contemplation traditions and is a graduate of Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy professional training.Emily is honoured to be a co-therapist in several local and international clinical research trials for Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (psilocybin with depression at Swinburne University and MDMA with PTSD at Monash University, collaborating with MAPS). In preparation for this humbling work, Emily continues to train extensively with several leading international PAP and trauma experts, local PAP integration and somatic psychotherapists. She deeply respects the healing potential of “non-ordinary” states of consciousness but most importantly, their safe, ethical, and practical integration.In addition to private clinical work, Emily has over a decade of multidisciplinary team experience in world-leading pain management and chronic illness hospital units, rehabilitation units, community health settings and university lecturing.Contact Dr. Emily Tunks:Website: EmbodyBeing.com.auLinkedIn: DrEmilyTunks__Resources discussed in this episode:Ram Dass“Becoming Somebody Before Becoming Nobody: Somatic and Relational Approaches to MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy”__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com

Are you finding it difficult to stick to new habits, no matter how badly you want to? New research from Health Psychology on habit forming provides new answers as to why this might be the case. From this research, there are four main reasons why people fail to stick to the habits they want to build. I'm going over all four, and providing tips and tricks to help you avoid the common pitfalls. When we try to build habits, how badly we want to have new habits has very little to do with whether we tend to pick up new habits successfully. This is because of something called the Intention-Behavior Gap, and understanding exactly why we have this gap can help us fix it.  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

In the realm of health psychology, our understanding of eating behaviors extends beyond mere physiological hunger cues. Research indicates that factors such as learned associations, cultural influences, and individual perceptions play pivotal roles in shaping our dietary choices. Recognizing this complexity is essential for developing effective dietary interventions that move beyond simplistic recommendations, acknowledging the intricate web of cognitive, emotional, and societal factors at play. A significant discussion within nutrition science centers on the regulation of eating patterns, particularly the balance between internal cues and external structures. While intuitive eating emphasizes responding to one's internal hunger signals, studies suggest that these signals are often influenced by external factors such as distractions and learned behaviors. An alternative approach, known as “pinned eating,” proposes structuring meals around fixed times and contexts. In this episode Prof. Jane Ogden, Professor of Health Psychology at the University of Surrey, discusses these concepts and some of the research her group has carried out. Guest Information Professor Jane Ogden is a distinguished health psychologist at the University of Surrey, with over three decades of experience in researching eating behavior, weight management, and women's health. She earned her PhD from the Institute of Psychiatry in London in 1990 and has since contributed extensively to the field through her research and publications. Throughout her career, Professor Ogden has authored several influential books, including “Health Psychology: A Textbook,” now in its seventh edition, and “Thinking Critically about Research.” Her work is widely recognized, leading to her receiving an honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Buckingham in 2022.
