Podcasts about lose weight

Have you ever felt like you have to get everything right before you can finally feel successful? You eat healthy. You work out. You drink your water. You make good choices. You're “on track.” And then…you have dessert. Or you miss a workout. Or you have a stressful day and find yourself eating in a way you didn't plan to. And suddenly, that little voice starts talking: “Well, I blew it.” “I need to get back on track.” “I'll start again Monday.” But what if the problem isn't that you need more discipline? What if you've been trying to live your health journey from a place of perfection instead of grace? Because here's the thing about perfection: you can chase it, but you can never actually catch it. And when you believe you have to be perfect, every mistake feels like failure. Today, we're going to talk about what happens when you trade perfection for grace. And I don't mean grace as an excuse to stop caring about your health. I'm talking about a grace that allows you to make mistakes without turning them into shame…a grace that lets you get back up without punishing yourself…and a grace that reminds you that your worth was never dependent on your ability to eat perfectly, exercise perfectly, or have the perfect body. And most importantly, we're going to ground this conversation in God's Word. Because 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that God's grace is sufficient in our weakness. Hebrews 4:16 tells us that we can approach God's throne of grace with confidence. And Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us that His mercies are new every morning. So what if you stopped trying to prove that you can do this perfectly…and started learning how to receive God's grace right in the middle of your imperfect journey? Let's talk about what that could look like. If you need accountability to make progress in this area, I'm here to help! Email me at taraj@dietditching.com and let's chat.

I'm breaking down why doing less can transform your body, nervous system, and weight loss journey more than constantly adding new supplements, wellness hacks, diets, and routines. I'll show you how “success through subtraction” can help you remove habits driven by fear, simplify your health, and build sustainable weight loss from a place of care instead of constantly trying to fix yourself.GET A CUSTOMIZED WEIGHT LOSS PLAN:Have a free 1-on-1 call with our Expert Nutritionists

Episode 06: Faith & Fitness: Is Wanting to Lose Weight Vanity?Is it biblical to want to lose weight?Can Christian women pursue fitness without becoming consumed by appearance?How do we care for our bodies while keeping Jesus at the center?In this episode of Daughters of Armor, Coach Crystal and Coach Nikita unpack what Scripture actually says about health, fitness, discipline, and stewardship. In a culture that often promotes body obsession, comparison, and performance, they offer a refreshing, biblical perspective on pursuing health for God's glory—not for the approval of others.Together, they discuss how to build healthy habits that strengthen your body without making fitness your identity, why spiritual disciplines should come before physical disciplines, and how every workout, meal, and healthy choice can become an act of worship.Because getting healthy God's way isn't about chasing the perfect body...It's about becoming the woman God has called you to be.Chapters00:00 Introduction: Faith and Fitness02:30 1 Corinthians 10:31—Doing everything for God's glory04:03 Your body as a reflection of God's image05:28 Balancing fitness goals with biblical principles07:59 Gratitude-driven fitness versus insecurity-driven fitness10:00 Prioritizing spiritual disciplines before physical disciplines12:03 Renewing your mindset: Glorifying God through fitness14:00 The power of self-control and discipline16:01 Fitness as training for godliness17:57 Guarding against comparison, pride, and social media19:58 Giving yourself grace through different seasons22:01 Fitness as worship and ministry24:10 The Holy Spirit's role in lasting transformation26:00 Building a biblical foundation for body stewardship27:55 The future of faith-based fitness30:00 Closing encouragement and practical takeawaysIf This Episode Encouraged You...

You held the boundary. You protected the walk, the appointment, or the time you needed. Someone may have been disappointed—and now you still feel guilty. When changing the boundary is no longer the route to relief, your brain may offer another familiar option: food.In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger explains why emotional eating can be less about hunger and more about wanting to change an uncomfortable internal state. She connects guilt, anxiety, resentment, and restlessness to the urge to feel different, then offers one non-restrictive question that can help you understand what is happening before you automatically act.You will learn why food makes sense as a fast source of relief, why “just use more willpower” misses the larger behavioral story, and why a real feeling does not always require an immediate behavior.Free Training:How to Stay Out of the Pantry at Night: www.sugarfreemd.com/pantryFree 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

What if the biggest thing getting in the way of your ability to lose weight isn't your food plan—but your mindset? After a VERY competitive pickleball game with my husband, I had one of those moments where I could feel my attitude going downhill…and I let it. Then Romans 8 hit me differently: I don't have to follow every feeling. And friend, neither do you. If you're trying to lose weight but keep getting pulled into thoughts like, "I already messed up," "Nothing is working," "I'll start again Monday," or "I hate how my body looks," your mindset may be driving more of your decisions than you realize. In this episode, we're talking about renewing your mind, breaking all-or-nothing patterns, handling body frustration, and learning how to make the next supportive choice even when you don't feel motivated. Because learning how to lose weight in midlife isn't about perfection. It's about building a mindset that helps you keep going. Ready to get serious about stubborn belly fat?

This episode dives into exactly what I'd do if I for me or my clients, we're struggling to lose weight.Including everything from whether you should spend time on maintenance, where you may be going wrong with your calorie tracking and whether you're eating as few calories as you think you need to.Links & Resources:

You know you should eat more protein. You know you should strength train. You know you should get your steps in. So why is actually doing those things consistently so damn hard? In this episode, we're going beyond calories and workouts and digging into the mental side of fat loss that doesn't get talked about enough. We'll cover: Why knowing what to do isn't the same as consistently doing it  The patterns behind self-sabotage and emotional eating  How all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuck in the start-over cycle  Why expecting immediate results makes consistency so difficult  The mindset shift that can help you measure success differently  Because sometimes you don't need another diet, another macro target, or more nutrition information. You need to understand what keeps getting in the way of executing what you already know. ✨ Apply for 1:1 Nutrition Coaching: https://acebarbell.com/nutrition-coaching/

My weight issue is separate and comes down to what I eat and how much I exercise. New belief: Chronic stress creates a physiological environment that directly affects fat storage, cravings, muscle, and sleep.

Weight-loss drugs are everywhere in the headlines. But what might they mean for our health beyond the number on the scales?This week, Professor Afif EL-Khuffash and Dr Anne Doherty explore GLP-1 medicines and the research into their effects on the heart, kidneys, liver and painful knees. They explain how these medicines influence blood sugar and appetite, unpack “food noise”, and discuss why managing obesity involves much more than willpower.They also explore emerging research on alcohol cravings, the findings in Alzheimer's disease, and the practical realities of treatment, including side effects, nutrition, maintaining muscle and medical supervision. For breastfeeding parents, Afif explains what the available research can tell us, what remains unknown, and why individual circumstances matter.Along the way, Anne questions both the evidence and Afif's increasingly busy social calendar.Science, scepticism and a little marital cross-examination as we explore what these medicines can offer, and where the questions remain.This episode provides general information and does not replace individual medical advice.

The fat acceptance movement has spent decades fighting weight stigma and calling for equal rights for fat people in all areas of life. As the movement moved online, the idea of body positivity emerged. While fat acceptance was about societal change, body positivity was more about self help -- loving yourself at any size. With the rise of social media, body positivity influencers gained success and sponsorships. But lately, fat acceptance and body positivity have been at a crossroads. Gabriella Lascano is a fashion and beauty influencer and public speaker who's been caught up in some of these conflicting perspectives. Today we ask, “Can you be body positive and still want to lose weight?” This episode contains discussion of body image, weight loss, and suicide.The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, and Jared O'Connell.Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Sporkful ad-free.

What if you stopped trying to change everything at once? As we head into a new month, Michele challenges you to choose one health goal and one healthy habit to focus on. Whether you want to eat healthier, exercise more, drink more water, improve your sleep, or lose weight, you don't have to do everything at once. In this episode, you'll learn how to set realistic health goals after 40, use habit tracking to stay consistent, and break your bigger health goals into small steps you can actually stick with. Your health journey doesn't require one giant leap. Sometimes, you just need to figure out your next step. Mentioned in this episode:

What if the thing standing between you and your weight-loss goals isn't that you don't know what to do? What if it's the fact that you're expecting yourself to do it perfectly? Think about it. You're going to eat healthy. You're going to work out. You're going to drink your water. You're not going to overeat. You're not going to eat dessert. You're going to stay completely “on track” Monday through Friday. And whatever you do… Don't mess up. But here's the problem. Eventually, real life happens. You eat something you weren't planning to eat. You miss a workout. You have a stressful day. You're exhausted. You grab takeout instead of cooking. Maybe you simply don't eat the way you thought you should. And suddenly, instead of thinking, “Okay, that happened. I can make my next choice,” you think… “Well, I blew it.” And what happens next? You start over. Monday morning. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month. And this is where I want to challenge you today: Perfectionism doesn't create consistency. Perfectionism creates impossible standards. Impossible standards create disappointment. Disappointment creates guilt. And guilt often sends us right back to the mindset of, “I need to start over.” But what if you didn't have to start over? What if you could simply keep going? What if progress didn't require you to get everything right, but instead required you to learn how to keep showing up when things don't go according to plan? Because here's your newsflash: You can make progress without being perfect. In fact, learning how to let go of perfection may be one of the most important skills you develop on your journey. And that's what we're talking about today. If you're ready to stop chasing impossible standards and start building consistency that actually fits your real life, this episode is for you. And if you want deeper support as you work through this, I would love to connect with you through my one-on-one coaching. You can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com to learn more. And come join us inside our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. I'd love to have you there. Now, let's talk about why perfectionism may actually be keeping you from the progress you're working so hard to achieve.

In this episode of Fitness & Joy at Any Age, April talks with nutritionist and exercise physiologist Heidi Skolnik, author of Your GLP-1 Game Plan, about what adults over 50 and 60 should know about GLP-1 medications, weight loss, muscle and healthy aging.Heidi explains why losing weight and becoming healthier aren't necessarily the same thing—and why protecting muscle becomes particularly important as we age.You'll learn about resistance training, protein and nutrition, appetite suppression, hydration, bone health, potential side effects, what can happen after stopping a GLP-1, and the three things Heidi recommends adults over 50 prioritize while using or considering these medications.Most importantly, Heidi shares an encouraging message: it's never too late to start strength training.Please remember: This interview is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice.

Have you ever eaten something and immediately thought, “Okay…now I need to work that off”? Or maybe you missed a workout and suddenly felt guilty for the rest of the day. Maybe you've even found yourself thinking, “I ate more than I should have, so I need to exercise more tomorrow.” If that sounds familiar, I want you to pause for a minute—because somewhere along the way, many of us learned to treat exercise like a transaction. Eat more, exercise more. Eat something “bad,” burn more calories. Gain weight, work harder. Miss a workout, feel guilty. But what if exercise was never supposed to be punishment? What if your workout wasn't meant to be a way to pay for your food, earn your meals, or punish your body for what you ate? What if movement could actually be something you look forward to because it strengthens your body, gives you energy, supports your health, and helps you feel good in your body? Your workout was never meant to be a response to your eating. And today, we're talking about movement that heals—exercise without punishment. Because I want you to start seeing movement differently. Not as something you have to do because you ate too much. Not as something you have to earn or endure. And definitely not as a punishment for missing yesterday's workout. Instead, we're going to talk about how exercise can become a form of strength, stewardship, and support for your body. So if you've ever felt guilty for missing a workout… If you've ever exercised primarily because you wanted to burn calories or lose weight… Or if you've ever believed that you have to work harder to “make up” for what you ate— this episode is for you. And if you're ready to stop fighting your body and start building a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and movement, I would love to help you. I offer one-on-one coaching where we work together to break free from the diet mentality, build sustainable habits, and create a healthier relationship with food, movement, and your body. You can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com to learn more. And don't forget to join our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where you'll find encouragement, support, and practical tools to help you keep moving forward. Now, let's talk about what it really means to exercise without punishment.

If you think losing weight means saying goodbye to ice cream, cookies, dessert, and all the fun foods you actually love… think again. In today's episode, I want to show you how to stay on track with fat loss while still eating the foods you love. The reason being that many women find it much easier to hit their calorie deficit when they're in the perfect environment: eating at home, with plenty of time to cook, fewer temptations around, and low stress. But what happens when you step outside of that environment? When you go out for a dinner date, head off on vacation, or have a fun weekend with friends and family? That's where knowing how to navigate sweets and other high-calorie foods becomes so important. Being "on track" can't mean only knowing how to eat when everything goes according to plan. You need to know how to navigate the moments when you want the ice cream, order the dessert, or simply eat something that doesn't fit perfectly into your usual routine. That's why I'm sharing the exact formula I recommend to our clients for enjoying sweets and other high calorie foods without feeling like you're compromising your fat loss progress. If you have a sweet tooth like me and want to lose weight without giving up the foods you love, this episode is for you. FIT GIRL FALL IS HERE!

You finally say no, protect the time you set aside for yourself, or try to honor a boundary—and then the discomfort hits. In this episode, Dr. Stacy explains why changing that “no” to a “yes” can create immediate relief, why that relief can trick us into thinking we made the right decision, and how the discomfort we avoid now may simply return later as disappointment in ourselves or resentment.The goal isn't to become someone who always says no or perfectly follows her calendar. It's to learn the difference between changing your decision because you genuinely want to and changing your decision because you're trying to change an uncomfortable feeling.Free 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE"Can I lose weight without tracking my food?"It's one of the most requested questions we get. Tracking can feel restrictive, tedious, and like something you want to graduate from as quickly as possible. Everyone wants the freedom to eat intuitively, to listen to their body, and to stop obsessing over numbers in an app… But here's the truth: real food freedom doesn't come from avoiding tracking. It comes from mastering it first.In this episode, we're flipping the narrative on food tracking completely. We'll explore why so many people resist tracking, the actual problem that creates the need to track forever, and how using tracking as a temporary educational tool—not a permanent prison—builds the foundation for true intuitive eating.Have questions for future episodes or a topic you'd like us to cover?

Are you doing everything right, the meals, the movement, the mindset work, and it still feels like nothing is happening? The scale is not moving, your clothes fit the same, and that little voice in your head is starting to whisper that maybe this just is not going to work for you. I need you to hear this before we go any further. Doing everything right and not seeing it yet are not the same thing as failing, and they almost never are. This episode is part two of one of the most listened to episodes I have ever released, and today I am digging even deeper into the real reasons behind the plateau and how to keep going even when it feels like nothing is working.I am taking you back to a very specific Tuesday a few years into my own journey, when I had done everything right all day and stepped on the scale that night to find it had not moved in almost three weeks. I remember standing in my bathroom thinking, what is even the point. That thought could have ended everything for me right then, but it did not, and I want to walk you through exactly why.We are breaking down 6 thoughts that convince smart, capable women they are failing when they are not. Why the scale is the slowest messenger in the building and is really reporting on decisions from days or weeks ago, why one hard day is a data point and not a pattern, why comparing your chapter three to someone else's chapter twenty will always feel like losing, why the scale cannot tell the difference between muscle you built and fat you lost, why tracking only one number means you are only seeing a tenth of the story, and why you become her on the boring Tuesday nobody is watching, not on results day.You are not behind and you are not failing. You are still becoming.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: >

Have you ever found yourself standing in the pantry, staring at the shelves, looking for something to eat… and suddenly realize, “Wait a minute. I'm not actually hungry.” But you still really, really want something. Maybe you've had a stressful day. You're exhausted. You're overwhelmed. You're frustrated. Maybe you feel lonely, bored, or just completely drained. And sometimes, all of those emotions can show up in the same day! So what do we do? We reach for food. Not necessarily because our body needs nourishment, but because, in that moment, food feels like comfort. It gives us something to look forward to. It helps us numb out, relax, distract ourselves, or simply escape from whatever we're feeling. But what if the food isn't actually what you need? What if there's something underneath that craving that you're really hungry for? Maybe you're hungry for rest. Maybe you need connection. Maybe you need to release some frustration, set a boundary, ask for help, or simply give yourself permission to slow down. And here's the thing: learning to recognize that doesn't mean you'll never emotionally eat again. It means you're becoming aware. Instead of automatically walking into the pantry and grabbing something, you can pause and ask yourself: “What am I really needing right now?” That one question can begin to change everything. So today, we're going to talk about three things you could really be hungry for when you think you're hungry for food. We're going to bring some awareness to emotional eating and, more importantly, learn how to listen to what your emotions might actually be trying to tell you. So if you've ever found yourself eating when you know you're not physically hungry, this episode is for you. Take a breath, step away from the pantry for a few minutes, and let's dive in. And if emotional eating is something you continually struggle with and you're ready to understand what's really driving it, I would love to connect with you. You can reach out to me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com to learn more about one-on-one coaching and schedule a discovery call. And don't forget, we'd love to have you inside our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where you can find encouragement, support, and connection with other women on this journey. Alright, friend. Let's talk about what you might really be hungry for.

You're eating pretty well. You're working out consistently. Maybe your weight hasn't even changed that much.So why does your body suddenly look and feel so different?If you've wondered is it harder to lose weight after 40, blamed your changing body on a "broken" metabolism, or searched for ways to speed up metabolism after 40, this episode is for you.Because there are real changes happening in midlife.Perimenopause and menopause can affect where you store body fat. Muscle can become easier to lose if you're not actively protecting it. Sleep and recovery can change. Daily activity can quietly decrease. And the strategies you relied on in your 20s and 30s may not work exactly the same way anymore.But that doesn't mean your metabolism suddenly crashed.In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really happening with menopause and weight gain, why fat loss may feel different in your 40s and 50s, and how to combat menopause weight gain without automatically resorting to more restriction and more exercise.You'll learn:Is it harder to lose weight after 40, and what may actually be making fat loss feel different in midlife?Why trying to speed up metabolism after 40 may be the wrong goal - and what to focus on instead.How menopause and weight gain are connected, including why your waist and body composition can change even when the scale barely moves.How to combat menopause weight gain by focusing on the factors you can still meaningfully influence.When we talk about menopause and weight gain, there's a lot of room between pretending nothing changes and believing everything is outside your control.Your hormonal environment may be different. Your body may store fat differently. Your recovery capacity may have changed. And yes, those things can help explain is it harder to lose weight after 40 for many women.But different isn't the same as broken.If you're trying to figure out how to combat menopause weight gain, the answer isn't necessarily another restrictive diet, metabolism supplement, or aggressive workout plan.And instead of trying to speed up metabolism after 40, I want you to understand what your body actually needs now.That may look like building and protecting muscle, prioritizing protein, moving more throughout the day, understanding your actual calorie needs, protecting sleep and recovery, and giving a reasonable strategy enough time to work.Because menopause and weight gain may be connected, but menopause doesn't make you powerless over what happens next.So, is it harder to lose weight after 40? The answer is more nuanced than the internet would have you believe.You don't need to speed up metabolism after 40 or punish your body into behaving like it did at 25.You need to understand the body you have now well enough to support it.Listen to the full episode to learn what's actually changing, how to combat menopause weight gain with a smarter approach, and why midlife is a change in context - not a metabolic emergency.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Access free and low cost resources and services from this episode HERE!Read the full show notes for this episode HERE!Custom Macro CalculationEpisode 79: Muscle Is Your Retirement AccountCONNECT WITH EMILY FIELD RD:InstagramWebsiteFacebook

Am I eating too much protein to lose weight? That's what a friend asked me last month, over coffee in Sydney. She's in perimenopause and her doctor told her she needed more protein or she'd lose muscle mass. So she'd been forcing down 120 grams a day. Sick of roast chicken. Sick of the whole thing.

I'll start when I'm ready. The hell you will. In this behind the scenes coaching episode with my members, I break down the three ways waiting shows up in your life and why the ready feeling never arrives. I go through the difference between the good kind of realistic and the fear kind, the one word in your sentences that tells you you're about to shrink your goal, and why every time you started something in the past it took a diagnosis or a wedding or a rock bottom to get you moving. Motivation and confidence get earned. They show up after you start, not before. Courage is what comes first, and I'll show you how to use it.

What if the goal isn't to be perfect… but to be faithful? What would change in your health journey if, instead of constantly asking yourself, “Am I doing enough?” you started asking, “Am I being faithful with what God has placed in front of me today?” Because when we decide it's time to “get back on track” or finally get serious about our health, what do we tend to do? We overhaul everything. New diet. New workout routine. Meal prep. No sugar. No carbs. More water. Early mornings. Perfect portions. Maybe even a brand-new schedule—all starting Monday! And for a little while, we're all in. But eventually… life happens. The kids need something. Work gets crazy. You're tired. Your schedule changes. You miss a workout. You eat something you didn't plan on eating. And suddenly that all-or-nothing mindset creeps back in. “Well, I already messed up.” “I'll start again tomorrow.” And the cycle begins all over again. But what if there's another way? What if God isn't asking you to completely overhaul your life overnight? What if He's inviting you to be faithful in the small things? Because transformation usually doesn't happen through one big decision or one perfect day. It happens through the small choices we make consistently over time—especially the choices nobody else sees. Choosing to nourish your body instead of restrict it. Choosing to move your body because you're caring for it, not punishing it. Choosing to pause and pray instead of automatically turning to food. Choosing to get back up after a hard day instead of deciding you've failed. Those choices may feel small, but they matter. So today, we're going to talk about what it really looks like to choose faithfulness over perfection and how those small, everyday choices can create lasting transformation. So stick with me, friend. Let's dive into this together. And if you're realizing that you don't need another diet—you need support, accountability, and someone to help you actually put these things into practice—I'd love to connect with you through one-on-one coaching.

Send us Fan MailInsulin Resistance: The Metabolic Warning Sign You May Be MissingInsulin resistance can develop long before type 2 diabetes—and many people don't know they have it. In this episode of the Mindfully Integrative Show, we break down what insulin resistance means, how insulin and blood sugar work together, common risk factors, and why metabolic health involves much more than the number on the scale.You'll also learn:What insulin resistance actually meansHow insulin resistance relates to prediabetesImportant metabolic numbers to knowWhy muscle, movement, nutrition, and sleep matterWhat the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program taught usSimple steps you can start using to support better metabolic healthKey takeaway: Metabolic health isn't about perfection. Small, sustainable changes in movement, nutrition, sleep, and body composition can meaningfully influence long-term health.

Have you ever finally made time for yourself—only to hear your brain immediately list everything else you should be doing?Sometimes what feels like an obligation is actually an internal rule you have repeated so often that it now sounds like fact. “I should help.” “I shouldn't disappoint her.” “A good mom would…” “I should be able to handle this.”In this episode of Weight Loss Made Simple, Dr. Stacy Heimburger moves one step upstream from guilt and looks at the thoughts underneath it. You will learn why a “should” is not automatically a fact, a value, a responsibility, or an obligation—and why being capable of doing something does not mean you are required to do it.You will also hear a practical example of how invisible rules can make your own health commitments feel optional while someone else's request feels mandatory.Your tiny action this week: catch one “should” and ask two questions:Who says?Do I actually agree with this?You do not have to rebel against every responsibility or make a dramatic boundary. The goal is simply to recognize that a thought can feel mandatory without actually being an obligation—and to put yourself back in the position of choosing intentionally.Ready to practice consistency without perfection?

What if I told you the "healthiest bread on earth" comes from a recipe that was originally supposed to be baked over human feces?It's true, and that recipe is straight out of the Bible.Right now, the internet is obsessed with the so-called Bible diet, also known as the Biblio diet, Promised Land diet, the Daniel diet, or simply biblical eating, but most of what's out there is cherry-picked scripture with zero context.So I decided to do it properly: chapter and verse, calling out what ancient eating habits actually got right, and where scripture needs a serious update.By the end, I'll give you my own Plant Paradox version of the biblical diet, the modern nutrition rules ancient wisdom got right thousands of years before science caught up.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/is-the-biblio-diet-healthy On this episode, you'll learn: The one Bible verse that sums up an entire ancient diet in a single line, and why it still holds up today (03:20)Why the "butter" in Genesis wasn't anything like what's in your fridge, and what it means for your gut (04:39)The surprisingly smart trick ancient people used on their beans and lentils that most home cooks skip today (08:30)Why biblical households rarely ate their own cows, goats, or chickens (09:38)Why I disagree with Leviticus on shellfish (10:40)The real reason ancient grains may have existed, and it might not be for the bread you're thinking of (14:38)My three modern fixes to the "Biblio diet," plus the full Gundry-fied version you can start eating this week (16:21)Why fermenting sourdough does NOT do what everyone claims it does for gluten (16:21)Thank you to our sponsors!

Take a moment to reflect: what would you need to really succeed in reaching your weight or health goals? Is it the newest restrictive fad diet, more time or more money? For my client Arthur, what made the difference was personalized coaching support and a clear-cut transition plan to eating and cooking plant-powered.   Living mostly alone, Arthur came to me not knowing how to cook much except BBQ-ing meats and boiling vegetables (then adding butter or cheese on top). His other big challenge was having a tiny kitchen with a single stove-top burner. But he was motivated to become a healthy grandpa so he can be there for his growing grandchildren. And within a few months of working together, I saw a huge change in Arthur's eating and lifestyle habits!   In this interview segment, Arthur shares more about key positive changes he has experienced since moving into a plant-powered lifestyle, such as feeling more cognitively alert, having greater strength in weight training, weight loss and much more. He'll also share with us a key piece of advice for listeners who are thinking of trying out a plant-based diet.

Ever feel like the last 10 pounds are the hardest ones to lose? Like you've done the diets, counted the calories, tracked every bite, and somehow those final pounds just won't budge?In this client spotlight episode, you're meeting Ari, graduate from the Mindful Weight Loss Academy, full-time working mom of two, longtime chronic dieter, and physical education teacher who lost 40 pounds on her own through restriction and tracking, but felt completely stuck trying to lose the last 10. She was exhausted from logging food, cycling between being “perfect” and starting over, and feeling like a prisoner to MyFitnessPal.In just four months inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy, Ari lost her last 10 pounds without dieting, without counting calories, and without giving up cake, girls' weekends, or anniversary trips. But the biggest transformation wasn't the number on the scale. It was breaking the all-or-nothing mindset, learning to eat to true satiety, and finally feeling free around food for the first time in 25 years.We talk about what actually helped her lose the “stubborn” last pounds, how she stopped eating to discomfort, why the hunger scale changed everything, and what it feels like to never have to track a calorie again. If you've been stuck thinking the last 10 pounds require more restriction, more control, or even medication, this episode will show you another way.Mindful eating isn't just for those last 10 lbs—it's for anyone who wants REAL change that lasts. So if you're tired of dieting and ready to lose weight in a way that actually lasts, press play. Ari's story proves you don't need more discipline. You need a different approach.xoxo,JackieP.S.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Healthy eating really isn't that hard. But we've made it hard. We've convinced ourselves that eating healthy means spending hours meal prepping every Sunday. It means finding complicated recipes with 17 ingredients that nobody actually wants to eat three days later. It means buying expensive “health foods,” giving up the foods we love, never eating out again, and somehow eating perfectly seven days a week. And then we wonder… “Why can't I stick with this?” But what if the problem isn't that you need more willpower? What if you simply need to be more prepared for real life? Because think about what happens when you're hungry, exhausted, running late, stressed, or juggling a million things. You're probably not thinking, “Let me make this complicated, perfectly balanced meal from scratch!” You're thinking, “What can I eat right now?” And in those moments, you're going to reach for what's easiest. So instead of expecting yourself to make perfect choices in every situation, what if you started making the healthy choice easier to choose? That's what we're talking about today. I'm going to give you three simple ways to prep for healthy eating success—without turning your kitchen into a meal-prep factory and without creating another restrictive diet that you're going to abandon in a few weeks. Because healthy eating shouldn't require perfection. It shouldn't mean following a million rules. And it definitely shouldn't make you feel like you can't enjoy your favorite foods or live your life. The goal is to make healthy choices easier—not to make your life harder. So if you've ever found yourself thinking, “I know what I should eat, but when life gets busy, I just don't do it,” this episode is for you. Let's talk about how a little preparation can help you feel more confident, more consistent, and less overwhelmed when it comes to healthy eating. And if you want some extra support and accountability along the way, I'd love to connect with you. Come join us inside our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where you can connect with other women who are working through these same struggles. And if you're ready for more personalized guidance, you can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com. I'd love to connect with you and talk about how I can help you on your journey. Now, let's get into those three simple ways you can start prepping for success.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing what to do. It's having the mental capacity to do one more damn thing.This week, I'm talking off the cuff about the invisible mental weight I've been carrying with back-to-school, parenting, diabetes care, work, routines, and all the little things that somehow end up taking up so much space in your brain.And yes, this still connects to emotional eating, body image, and weight loss because none of that happens in a bubble. Sometimes you don't need more discipline. You need fewer tabs open, a lower barrier to entry, and a little more awareness of what you're actually carrying.Irresistible Links:

Let me ask you a question… What do you do when you know you should exercise, but you just don't feel like it? You know movement is good for you. You know you'll probably feel better afterward. You might even have your workout clothes sitting right there waiting for you. But you think… “I'll work out when I have more energy.” “I'll start again Monday.” “I'm just not motivated right now.” “I really need to get back into a routine.” And then a few days turn into a few weeks. Sound familiar? Here's what I want you to understand today: You are not always going to feel motivated to exercise. And if your movement routine depends on you feeling motivated first, you're going to be inconsistent. But that doesn't mean you're lazy. It doesn't mean you lack discipline. And it certainly doesn't mean you need to push yourself harder. It means you may be relying on the wrong thing. Because the goal isn't to wake up every morning and somehow manufacture motivation out of thin air. The goal is to learn how to move your body even when motivation isn't there. And the good news is—you can do that without forcing yourself through workouts you hate or using exercise as punishment for what you ate. Today, I'm going to give you four practical tools you can use to stay active even when you don't feel motivated. These are simple strategies that can help you make movement a normal part of taking care of your body—not another thing you have to be perfect at. Because exercise doesn't have to be punishment. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. And it doesn't have to look like five intense workouts every single week. It can simply become something you do because you value your body and want to take care of it. So if you've been stuck in the cycle of “I'll start Monday,” or you keep waiting until you feel motivated to get moving, this episode is for you. Let's dive into those four tools and talk about how you can make movement a sustainable part of your life. And if you're listening and thinking, “Tara, I know what to do. I just need someone to help me actually follow through,” I'd love to help. You can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com to connect with me about a discovery call, or head over to DietDitching.com to learn more about working with me. And of course, I'd love to invite you into our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where you can connect with other women who understand the struggle and are learning to approach weight loss from a place of freedom instead of frustration. Now, let's get into those four tools.

You Can Eat What You Want and Still Lose Weight What if the thing keeping you from losing weight isn't what you're eating...but the fact that you've spent years telling yourself you can't eat it? In this episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest beliefs in dieting: that you need more restriction and more control to lose weight. Because if telling yourself “I can't have that” actually makes you obsess over it, crave it harder, and eventually overeat it… maybe restriction isn't the solution. We're getting into food freedom, cravings, emotional eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and why self-trust matters more than another set of food rules. You'll also learn why eating what you want does not mean eating everything in sight...and how giving yourself permission can actually change the way you eat. Because sustainable weight loss isn't about becoming better at saying no. Sometimes, it's learning how to say yes without abandoning yourself. If you've been listening to this podcast and thinking, “I know I'm ready for something to change, but I don't want to spend another year dieting, starting over, and fighting with my body,” I want to invite you into something a little different. It's called the Jumpstart Experience…a private 12-week experience where we work together to create real, sustainable change in your body, your habits, and the way you think about yourself. We start SEPTEMBER 28th! It's intimate, highly supported, and designed for women who are ready to stop chasing quick fixes and finally understand how to make weight loss feel simpler...and something they can actually maintain. If that sounds like the kind of experience you've been looking for, I'd love to have you join me. You can learn more and apply at https://www.nicoleternay.com/jump

You're exercising more, fasting more, changing what you eat, and trying everything you know to support your weight, and yet the scale still doesn't seem to move.In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down five foundational habits she wants you to look at before assuming your body simply isn't responding. She explores how fibre-rich foods can support satiety and your gut microbiome, why walking after meals can benefit blood sugar, how meal timing interacts with your circadian rhythm, and why sleep and consistency deserve a much bigger place in the weight-loss conversation.She also explores GLP-1, food noise, nervous system state, and what research tells us about maintaining weight loss after stopping GLP-1 medications.The takeaway is refreshingly practical: instead of chasing another complicated strategy, start by looking at the everyday rhythms you can actually repeat.Resources MentionedFREE Nervous System QuestionnaireTime & Light: Missing Pieces of a Healthy Lifestyle with Dr. Satchin PandaThe Cancer Conversation Women Aren't Having Yet with Dr. Leigh Erin ConnealyReset AcademyEat Like a GirlAge Like a GirlFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep368Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Text us a comment or question!What if the goal that's been driving your health and fitness journey for years... is actually the wrong goal?If you've spent the last decade - or maybe several decades - trying to lose the same 10, 20, or 30 pounds, this episode may completely change the way you think about your body.This week on The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, we're continuing the special Behind the Book series with a first look at Part II - Building a Body from my upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life.And we're kicking off Part II with a statement that probably sounds a little crazy coming from a health and fitness coach: Stop trying to lose weight.Seriously.Because here's the truth -  nobody really wants weight loss. You don't actually want a smaller number on your bathroom scale. You want what you believe that smaller number will give you.More energy. More confidence. Better health. Freedom. Strength. Capability. The ability to travel, hike, play with your grandkids, get up off the floor, carry your own luggage, and keep saying YES to life.So maybe it's time to stop making weight loss the mission.Maybe it's time to start building a body.In this episode, you'll discover:Why focusing on weight loss can actually lead you toward the wrong behaviorsWhy losing 20 pounds isn't really what most people wantThe hidden problem with making a number on the scale your ultimate goalWhy traditional weight-loss goals come with a dangerous built-in finish lineThe difference between changing your weight and changing your identityWhy “I'm trying to get healthy” and “I'm a healthy person” are two very different mindsetsHow your identity influences your daily choicesWhy lasting transformation is about becoming, not dietingThe question that's far more powerful than “How much weight do I want to lose?”Why your new mission should be about the next 30 years, not the next 30 poundsHow shifting from shrinking to building can change the trajectory of your second half

If you've been struggling with food urges and wondering whether a GLP-1 is the answer, this episode is for you. The more I learn about GLP-1s, the more I see how closely some of what they address connects with the ThINNER Peace process I created almost 20 years ago. The difference is in how we get to the brain. I share the story of a client who put a polished stone into a jar every time she experienced an urge to eat when she wasn't hungry and managed that urge without eating. As the jar filled, she had visible proof that she was learning something she once believed she couldn't do. That is the kind of brain training I want to teach you. I'm also inviting you to my free masterclass, Train Your Brain With or Without a GLP-1, where I'll help you understand what may be driving food noise and introduce you to a new technique for calming a craving. Whether you're considering a GLP-1, have decided you don't want one, or are already taking one and want to understand more about what is happening with your urges, I want you to know there is a way forward. Enjoy the show! What You'll Learn From This Episode ● Why managing the urge itself matters more than simply focusing on weight loss ● How to teach yourself to manage your urges ● The difference between targeting the brain with medication and training your brain ● What the Food Noise Workbook is designed to help you understand ● What you'll learn in the new Calm a Craving in Three Minutes workbook ● Why there can be a way forward whether you choose to use a GLP-1 or not Free Guide: Download the Jumpstart Your Weight Loss in Menopause Guide at drdebbutler.com/podcast-companion-guide Mini Session: Ready to master your mind?

Does change seem impossible because you feel so entrenched in your current ways of eating and living? And how can you change from meat heavy plates if you don't even really know how to cook? That was the case for my client Arthur. Yet he wanted to lose weight, live longer and stay healthier to be around more for his growing little grandkids. So he decided to take the FIRST step forward. He committed to working together with me. Then within as little as 3 months, his eating habits, food choices and weight all changed for the better! In this episode, we'll learn what Arthur's eating habits were like previously, how limited his cooking abilities were initially, his motivations for wanting to make a lifestyle change, and whether plant-based eating is expensive. We'll also learn about some of the many benefits he has experienced since eating plant-powered, such as greater energy and nearly 20 pounds lost within 3 months. Hear from his perspective how my approach and working together made a difference in his wellness journey.
