What if the reason weight loss feels so hard isn't lack of willpower, but lack of balance? In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explores the concept of yin and yang through an unexpected yoga class, and how a gentler, more sustainable approach to weight loss can reduce burnout, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking. Learn how finding your “edge” (without pain or punishment) can reduce stress and help you create lasting weight loss and better health. You'll learn:Why most women approach weight loss from an overly yang mindset; pushing harder, doing more, and relying on discipline aloneWhat yin and yang really mean for health and sustainable weight loss (and why balance matters)How stress, nervous system overload, and constant effort can quietly stall weight lossWhy adding yin practices (rest, recovery, reflection, and embracing gentle progress) can actually improve resultsHow balancing effort with recovery makes weight loss feel easier, more sustainable, and less exhaustingThanks for listening!

Send us a textWhat do you do when you know what to do for your health — but the habits just don't stick?In this Friday 5 episode, VJ explores why healthy routines so often fall away, especially when you're living with autoimmunity, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or chronic symptoms. Rather than blaming willpower or motivation, this episode reframes habit failure as a sign of mismatch between the body, the nervous system, and unrealistic expectations.You'll learn why habits need to be built for who you are now — not who you used to be — and how shrinking habits, designing for hard days, and reducing nervous system load can make consistency feel achievable again.This episode is practical, compassionate, and grounded in what VJ sees every day in clinic — with simple, realistic strategies you can start using immediately.If you've ever felt frustrated, discouraged, or “behind” in your health journey, this episode will help you build habits that actually last — without burning yourself out in the process.

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeOur episode today explores how the same physical activity can serve completely different purposes depending on your intention behind it. We challenge the wellness industry's constant pressure to "go harder" and achieve maximum intensity every single day, suggesting it's time to release that mentality. Instead, let's go after a grace-based approach rooted in freedom rather than legalism. We are wired for freedom by God!By pre-deciding your intention before exercise—whether that's challenging your cardiovascular system, gently moving for mental health, building strength, or simply clearing your head—you can stay focused on what you truly need rather than falling into comparison or guilt. The key is being honest with yourself about what you need while giving yourself permission to adjust when necessary, recognizing that backing off isn't failure—it's listening to your body with wisdom and discernment.Main points discussed:1. Macro Why vs. Micro Why2. Examples of Micro Whys 3. Saying Goodbye to "Go Harder" 4. Freedom Through Grace (Drawing from Galatians 5:1)5. Examples of Micro Whys 6.

Cheryl McColgan discusses day 12 of the Healthy Habits challenge with the idea of a “movement snack.” Getting up from your desk on a regular basis and adding in small bouts of movement throughout the day has a number of benefits.

Today’s habit is to do a movement snack after for sitting too long. So I love the name of this and normally I’m not a big, not opposed to snacks generally, but you’ll do better if you just eat real meals, but movement snacks, we’re all about those for sure. So all this is going to do is do some kind of movement after you have been sitting for a while during the day. a lot of us have desk jobs where we sit in front of a computer. If you’re very active throughout the day, you have an active job. Maybe this is more like a movement snack in the evening after you’ve kind of wound down. You’ve been sitting around on the couch for a little bit. But anyway, just any time that you’ve been sitting for, you know, say maybe 45 minutes. For some people, you might get antsy quicker than that. For other people, you might want to sit longer. but try not to sit longer than 45 minutes. So you’ll just do like a two minute little movement break. Ideally, you want to stand up if you’re working in front of the desk, doing stretches like I’m demonstrating here on camera. So if you’re watching audio only, I’m pulling back my hand with the other hand just to stretch out my wrists. I do a lot of typing. So that is a really good one for me. You can also put your arms behind your head and grab one elbow and do a nice stretch there. So that could be the first part of your movement snack. And then to just get up for a minute, maybe go get a glass of water or just take a walk down the hall, maybe step outside for a minute, something like that. So your body is just really designed for frequent movement. And these long times that we’re sitting just really aren’t good for us. So especially if you’ve been sitting at a meal for a little bit, having that little bit of movement after. a meal, whether it’s a walk or something like that is really good for blood glucose. So doing something like some air squats that there’s also a recent study on that where it showed doing some air squats. When I say air squats, I just kind of mean like body weight squats where you don’t need any equipment or anything like that is as effective as walking for blood glucose control. So that’s pretty cool. It also just can support circulation, energy, focus. These are just Cheryl McColgan (02:19.24)nice way to break up your day and again just not have yourself sitting all the time. Eventually when you sit for long periods you don’t counteract that it’s know shortens your hip flexors it create a lot of issues in your body. We all get this kind of forward head when we’re working in front of the computer so things that you can do to counteract that like bringing your arms behind your back and interlacing your hands and then really stretching back to create a stretch in the front of the chest is a way that you can kind of counteract some of that you know, hunched forward movement. So I am mentioning a lot of stretching, but I do want you to get out of the chair for sure. Again, try to keep it to 45 minutes. If you get up more frequently, of course, that’s always amazing. But that is the habit for today. So try not to sit for too long. As always, if you’re not yet part of the challenge, you can go sign up. The link is in the show notes or in the comment box below. If you’re looking at YouTube in the description box, it’ll be there. And yeah. Let me know if you find this helpful and I’ll see you tomorrow.

In this episode, Ben sits down with bestselling author, psychologist and behaviour change expert Shahroo Izadi for a deep, honest conversation about ADHD, addiction and how habits really form.Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, Shahroo reflects on how years spent working in addiction services helped her make sense of her own impulsivity, shame cycles and coping strategies - long before she had the language for neurodivergence. Together, Ben and Shahroo unpack why addiction is often misunderstood, how neurodivergent brains are especially vulnerable in a frictionless modern world, and why behaviour change isn't about willpower or fixing yourself.This is a compassionate, practical conversation about trust, self-belief and designing habits that work with your brain - not against it.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:26 Shahroo Izadi's ADHD Diagnosis & Personal Journey08:12 ADHD, Neurodivergence & Addiction: What's the Link?11:44 Is Addiction a Disease — or a Coping Strategy?13:04 Why Willpower Fails: Understanding Habit Formation16:50 ADHD vs Autism: Impulsivity, Dopamine & Delayed Reward19:08 ADHD & Addiction: Shahroo's Framework for Sustainable Change29:18 Trusting an ADHD Brain After Years of Self-Criticism33:33 Applying Behavioural Psychology to Living With ADHD36:15 The ADHD Tax: Shame, Avoidance & Hidden Costs39:25 External Dependence, Coping Mechanisms & Control42:03 Shahroo's 3 Practical Tips for Lasting Behaviour Change52:13 Ben on Addiction & Recovery: Choice Without Deprivation58:47 What We Still Get Wrong About Addiction & Neurodivergence1:02:02 Healthy Habits vs Addiction: Where's the Line?1:07:21 Addiction, ADHD & Autism: What Needs to Change Systemically1:15:20 Shahroo's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Most New Year's resolutions don't fail because we don't care. They fail because we try to change everything at once, without a plan that fits our real life, our real energy, and the season we are actually in.In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I'm walking you through how to create truly sustainable health goals. These are goals that don't burn you out by February, but carry you forward all year long. We talk about why 80 percent of resolutions fail, how to use SMART goals effectively, and why small, consistent habits will always outperform extreme motivation.We also explore the powerful connection between movement and mental health. Simple activities like walking, stretching, and strength training can naturally improve focus, reduce anxiety, ease depression, and support better brain function. I share real-life examples, practical ideas you can start today, and encouragement if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or behind.Be sure to listen all the way through to the end, where you will hear Kim's testimony, a powerful real-life story from someone inside our Visibly Fit Community who put these principles into action and experienced meaningful, lasting change.Let's make this a year of habits that stick, health that lasts, and momentum you can actually feel.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:10] Welcome & New Year Resolutions[02:30] Common Health Goals for 2026 (Weight, Strength, Stress)[07:00] Why 80% of Resolutions Fail by February[07:30] How to Set SMART Goals That Work[12:22] Identifying What You Actually Enjoy[13:27] Building Habits That Stick Over Time[16:10] Movement & Mental Health Connection[20:00] Tracking Progress Without Obsession[20:53] Why Community Is Essential for Health[23:33] Visibly Fit Community[24:45] Encouragement for a Healthier 2026[25:19] Kim's Testimony P.S.

It's early January. You're motivated. You're ready to eat better, work out consistently, and finally build healthy habits that stick. But if you're like most moms, you'll quit by February. Again. In this episode, I'm not giving you another goal-setting pep talk. I'm not telling you to break your goals into smaller steps or write them down or set behavior-based goals. You already know how to set goals. You've done it a hundred times. The problem isn't your goal-setting method. The problem is deeper. As a mom of 5, I've figured out why healthy habits fail for most moms. And it has nothing to do with motivation, willpower, or discipline. It's about how you see yourself. This episode is about the shift that changed everything for me. When you see yourself this way, your New Year's goals don't fail by February. -Rachel Next Steps:  The Fat Loss Formula for Moms Program Book a Free Discovery Call to find out about the program
