If you feel like you've tried everything to stop overeating, your nervous system might be the missing piece.In this episode, Sherry Shaban talks about how living in a fast-paced world—and carrying around unresolved trauma—can throw our nervous system out of balance. This can show up in ways like emotional eating, using substances to cope, or avoiding difficult feelingsSherry explains how our childhood experiences and the pressure to keep up with life can affect how we deal with stress. She shares how learning to understand our emotions and calming the nervous system can help us feel more in control.Later in the episode, Sherry shares her thoughts on weight-loss injectables and why quick fixes don't lead to lasting results. Instead, she encourages making natural, long-term lifestyle changes.Topics Covered:Regulating the Nervous System for Emotional and Behavioral BalanceUnderstanding and Embracing Emotions Through Body AwarenessThe Risks and Side Effects of Weight Loss InjectablesHolistic Approaches to Health and Wellness Beyond DietingBreathwork and Self-Care for Emotional RegulationKey Takeaways:The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in managing involuntary bodily functions, which include critical elements of mental and emotional health.Societal norms often condition us and our children to operate in a heightened state of "protection mode," exacerbating stress-related health issues.Understanding and accepting emotions like fear, sadness, anger, and joy can lead to healthier coping mechanisms and reduced reliance on substance use.While weight-loss injectables may offer rapid results, B emphasizes the importance of natural lifestyle changes for sustainable health improvements.Emotional regulation in teenagers is often challenged by a lack of developed coping skills and prefrontal cortex maturity, but mindful practices can aid in balance.If you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

Sherry Shaban shares a powerful personal journey from being a competitive athlete to overcoming a life-changing back injury and a tumultuous relationship with food and fitness. After a car accident at 16 that ended her athletic career, she struggled with identity and health, eventually discovering a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond traditional diet and exercise methods.Central to Shaban's philosophy is understanding the role of the nervous system in eating behaviors. She explains that our body's "protection mode" (sympathetic nervous system) can trigger survival mechanisms like metabolism slowdown and binge eating in response to trauma, emotional distress, or perceived scarcity. Her approach focuses on healing underlying emotional issues, shifting from a diet culture mindset to intuitive eating, and understanding the deeper motivations behind health and fitness.Key points:Sherry explains that eating behaviors are deeply connected to the autonomic nervous systemTrauma, food scarcity, and emotional distress can trigger a "protection mode" responseWhy it's recommended to address underlying emotional traumas before starting intuitive eatingThe power in understanding one's triggers in healing your relationship with foodThe wisdom of changing motivation from appearance to functional goals in fitness (e.g., aging gracefully, maintaining independence)How to shift from "can't" to "don't" to change identity and habitsLinks DiscussedWhy Your Tight Hip Flexors Might be a Function of Your Nervous System with Elisabeth KristofGraced Health Podcast Season 21 Intuitive Eating Sherry's LinksHit Decks AppFREE download of the Make Peace With Food Workbook at www.makepeacewithfood.comSign up for the free 9-day MasterclassFall in Love with Fitness PodcastConnect with Sherrywww.sherryshaban.comInstagram: @sherryshabanfitnessFacebook: SherrJoin The Stronger Collective Nourished Notes Newsletter Core Essentials: Episode 1 2 3 430+ Non-Gym Ways to Improve Your Health (free download)Connect with Amy: GracedHealth.comJoin the Graced Health community on Facebook!

"The number on that scale does not determine our self-worth." - Lisa Dahl Welcome to the Make Peace with Food show! Today, we are going to deep dive into some common misconceptions and misunderstandings around what it means to be an intuitive eater and what it means to be comfortable at every size. I am joined by Lisa Dahl, an intuitive eating and body image health coach, who has dedicated her life to helping others break free from the diet mentality and find true acceptance and well-being. The diet industry has led us to believe that our self-worth is determined by the number on the scale. We have been conditioned to think that smaller bodies are better, happier, and healthier bodies. But this dangerous misconception has caused immense harm to our mental and physical well-being. Lisa points out that the scale is not a measure of our self-worth or our health. It is simply a tool that has been used to perpetuate the diet culture and keep us disconnected from our bodies. In fact, she encourages her clients to consider getting rid of the scale altogether. She believes that as long as we are attached to that number, we will remain disconnected from our mind and body. Intuitive eating is about reconnecting with our body's natural hunger and fullness cues, and the scale only serves to disrupt that connection. It takes time to learn the language of our body and understand what it needs. It is a process of experimentation and self-discovery. But the rewards are immeasurable. As we continue to spread awareness and challenge the diet culture, together we can create a future where body acceptance and intuitive eating are the norm. So, let's embark on this journey together, supporting and uplifting one another as we navigate the path to intuitive eating and acceptance at every size. Topics Covered: 0:00:02 - Introduction to the conversation and the importance of intuitive eating 0:02:16 - Lisa's personal journey and why she became an intuitive eating coach 0:08:26 - The power of the scale and the importance of disconnecting from it 0:11:06 - The process of becoming an intuitive eater and the importance of self-compassion 0:19:25 - The root causes of using food as a coping mechanism 0:22:32 - Understanding the concept of health at every size 0:25:41 - The limitations of the BMI as a measure of health 0:30:19 - The importance of acceptance and curiosity in starting the intuitive eating journey 0:34:13 - Embracing imperfection and building self-efficacy 0:35:40 - Where to find more information and connect with Lisa Key Takeaways: Intuitive eating is a practice, not a diet, that involves listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues. The number on the scale does not determine your self-worth or your health. Food is the messenger of unmet needs, and emotional eating can be a sign of underlying issues that need to be addressed. Health at every size means focusing on actions and behaviors that support well-being, rather than striving for a specific body size or weight. Health is a multifaceted concept that includes physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.

In this Minisode of Make Peace with Food. I discuss the topic of binge eating and explore new perspectives on understanding and overcoming it. You'll learn the true definition of binge eating and more importantly, understand that it's actually a nervous system issue. During today's conversation, I'll also give you practical insights into how the nervous system influences your relationship with food. By identifying different patterns like emotional eating, nighttime snacking, and the cycle of extreme dieting, we'll look at how these behaviors manifest and how they can be overcome Remember that the first step towards healing is to release self-judgement.  I'm always a resource for you.  We're in this together! Key Takeaways: Binge Eating Defined: Binge eating isn't strictly about consuming large amounts of food; it includes any behavior where you feel out of control with your eating habits. Nervous System Connection: Many eating behaviors, including binge eating, can be traced back to nervous system issues, rooted in our body's response to stress and emotions. Breaking the Cycle: Addressing binge eating requires understanding and adjusting the nervous system states that lead to unwanted eating behaviors. The Role of Emotions: Emotional eating is a form of binge eating, often triggered by discomfort or intense emotions, ranging from anxiety to boredom. Sustainable Change: Real progress with eating habits involves working on the nervous system first, to then comfortably manage and enjoy food choices without excessive restriction.

I'm sharing with you my personal struggles with binge eating and how diving deep into nutritional sciences actually is what led to my disordered eating pattern, and how I got out of it by working on my nervous system. I'm also talking about why restricting creates a food scarcity mindset and is the reason behind your binge eating, emotional eating and even night time snacking behaviour that you just can't seem to kick.  If you've been battling with eating habits, feeling out of control or disconnected, you're not alone—and this episode is for you!

"The win is in showing up. It's not about how much you do; it's the fact that you did it." - Sherry Shaban In this episode of the podcast, I share with you how to make the biggest shift in your health journey.  30 years ago, after getting hit by a car and two back surgeries later, doctors told me that I would never be able to do any sports again.  Pregnancy would be a challenge.  And that I'd have to resort to gentle walking only on a treadmill.

Reach - https://www.sherryshaban.com  Key Takeaways The Nervous System and Food Relationship: Stressful emotions like shame and anxiety trigger the body's "protection mode," slowing metabolism and promoting fat storage. Diet as a Comprehensive Concept: Our diet includes not just food but also everything we consume mentally and emotionally, such as social media and conversations. Traditional Diet Culture's Impact: Diet culture disconnects us from our natural instincts, pushing external solutions instead of encouraging intuitive eating. Transform Through Compassion: Viewing exercise and eating as acts of self-love rather than punishment is vital for sustainable health. Rewire Your Relationship with Food: By cultivating gratitude and mindfulness, food becomes a source of nourishment rather than guilt or reward. One Key Learning Transformation starts from within. Shifting from a punitive mindset to one of self-compassion unlocks the nervous system's capacity to work with, rather than against, your body—laying the foundation for sustainable physical and emotional health.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

"The right diet for you is the one that you enjoy. And the one that your body thrives and is fully satisfied on. There is no such thing as a one diet that fits all.” - Sherry Shaban In this episode, I discuss the psychology behind dieting and the fundamental shift required to cultivate sustainable health habits. Also, the challenge in traditional diet culture, emphasizing the importance of transitioning from a 'can't' mindset to a 'don't' mindset. The discussion uncovers how rigid dieting often leads to a cycle of restriction, reward and undesirable eating behaviors. Throughout the conversation, I mention the significance of discovering a personalized health and fitness routine that aligns with individual needs and preferences. I advocate for intuitive eating and consistency over intensity, stressing that optimal health is not about chasing a specific diet but about embracing a holistic lifestyle that resonates with personal goals and body signals. This episode offers a refreshing perspective that prioritizes mental well-being and mindfulness as key components of physical health.

Sustainable health and fitness are about intuitive and personalized approaches, not one-size-fits-all solutions. Consistency, rather than intensity, should guide one's fitness journey—honor your body's signals to determine daily activity levels. A clear, strong personal 'why' is crucial for maintaining motivation and commitment to health and fitness goals. Each person needs to find a balance in their health journey that allows for the enjoyment of foods like cake without guilt, promoting a healthy mindset.

"It's not true that for us to be healthy, we have to release weight. You actually have to be healthy first to release weight." - Sherry Shaban In this episode of Fall In Love with Fitness, I'm releasing Day 1 training of the Fat Loss 101 Masterclass I held two weeks ago.  I reveal the critical role of the nervous system in weight management. I expand on why conventional diet and exercise methods often fail due to an overlooked factor I refer to as Protection Mode dominance.  My journey from chronic back pain sufferer to fitness expert highlights the power of understanding your body's signals and regulating your nervous system- shifting from Protection Mode to Safety Mode. I unpack the underpinnings of self-sabotage, emotional eating, and the real mechanics of fat storage and release so you can start your journey to healing too.  Don't miss this eye-opening discussion that challenges diet culture to transform your health from the inside out!

Chronic protection mode can lead to slowed metabolism, triggered binge responses, and difficulty in managing weight. Shifting the nervous system from protection mode to safety mode is key to breaking the cycle of self-sabotage and compulsive eating behaviors. Effective weight management is not about another diet but about addressing underlying emotional and psychological factors. The biological mechanism behind mind hunger and body hunger helps distinguish between real hunger and emotional eating.

In this minisode, Sherry Shaban discusses the nervous system, specifically focusing on the autonomic nervous system. This engaging conversation reveals new insights for listeners to understand their behaviors and patterns, especially around issues with motivation and self-discipline. Sherry explains how it is not a lack of willpower but a complex interaction of physiological responses that often leads to self-sabotage. Sherry breaks down the autonomic nervous system into its two main components: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which she refers to as protection mode and safety mode, respectively. These terms frame a deeper understanding of our body's natural responses to stress and safety. In protection mode, the body focuses on survival, which can lead to a slowed metabolism and increased fat storage. In safety mode, the body favors healing, relaxation, and fat release.  Sherry's expertise helps why our bodies respond the way they do and how we can shift from protection to safety mode to achieve better health and wellness. Key Takeaways: Central vs. Autonomic Nervous System: Understand the difference between the voluntary central nervous system and the involuntary autonomic nervous system. Protection vs. Safety Mode: Learn about the sympathetic (protection mode) and parasympathetic (safety mode) nervous states and their impact on our bodies and behaviors. Impact on Metabolism: Discover how protection mode slows down metabolism, favors fat storage, and why this state triggers binge eating and cravings.

In this minisode, Sherry Shaban delves into the transformative concept of achieving weight loss without eliminating carbohydrates. Sherry shares her extensive journey in the health and fitness industry, debunking the popular myth that carbs are detrimental to weight loss. She explains how an obsession with cutting out carbs and other food groups can lead to unhealthy eating behaviors and long-term weight gain due to the buildup of a reward system in the brain. Sherry elaborates on the harmful effects of restrictive diets, such as the keto diet, which can sabotage both physical and mental well-being. She introduces listeners to the importance of transitioning from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset regarding food. By learning to reconnect with the body's natural cues and shifting the nervous system from protection mode to safety mode, individuals can enjoy their favorite foods like carbs while achieving their fitness goals. Sherry also touches on the significance of building an intuitive eating habit, highlighting her personal rituals and success stories from her clients to emphasize the practical implementation of her advice. Key Takeaways: Carbohydrates are a crucial energy resource and should not be entirely excluded from a diet aimed at weight loss. Restrictive diets can cause an unhealthy fixation on forbidden foods, leading to binge eating and long-term weight gain. Shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset helps restore a healthy relationship with food and mitigates binge eating tendencies. Achieving an intuitive eating habit requires moving from the brain's protection mode to a safety mode, aligning with the body's natural hunger cues. A balanced approach to eating, including enjoying pleasure foods in moderation, can lead to sustainable health and fitness results without the stress of constant dieting.

In today's minisode, Sherry Shaban discusses the pervasive issue of nighttime snacking and how it undermines wellness goals. She reveals that contrary to popular belief, nighttime eating is often not a matter of weak willpower or lack of discipline. Instead, it is deeply rooted in our nervous system's response to stress and perceived threats. Sherry shares her personal struggle with nighttime snacking and provides insightful strategies for conquering this habit by addressing its underlying causes. Sherry explains the impact of our circadian rhythm on how our body metabolizes food after 7 or 8 PM, leading to increased fat storage and disrupted sleep. She emphasizes that addressing this habit requires moving beyond strict diet plans or accountability partners and instead focusing on regulating the nervous system. This process can align our body with a state of safety rather than protection, which in turn diminishes cravings and fosters healthier eating patterns.  Key Takeaways: Understanding the Role of the Nervous System: Nighttime snacking is often driven by the nervous system, not a lack of discipline. Impact of Circadian Rhythm: Our body's ability to metabolize carbohydrates decreases after 7 or 8 PM, leading to fat storage and sleep disturbances. Role of Stress and Routine Changes: High stress levels and disrupted routines can trigger unwanted eating behaviors. Importance of Parasympathetic State: Shifting from a protection mode to a safety mode in the nervous system can eliminate cravings and promote healthier eating habits. Coaching for Long-Term Solutions: Personalized coaching can identify nervous system issues and provide strategies for permanent change.

“Diet is anything and everything that enters your being from your environment, that impacts your body, your mind, your spirit, and your thoughts and your emotions." - Sherry Shaban In this episode with host Sherry Shaban, let's talk about metabolism and its role in our overall health and well-being. Starting with a clear definition of metabolism and basal metabolic rate (BMR), Sherry provides insights into how our energy works even at rest. She points out the differences between high and slow metabolism and how these affect our body's ability to function efficiently. Throughout the episode, Sherry emphasizes the importance of diet composition in metabolic health, discussing the primary fuel sources, sugar, and fat. She highlights the significance of metabolic flexibility, explaining how the body's ability to switch between burning sugar and fat can impact energy levels, mood, and overall health. The episode offers a deep dive into practical strategies for boosting metabolism, such as resistance training, managing stress, and optimizing gut health, offering listeners a comprehensive guide to improving their metabolic health naturally. Topic Covers: 0:00 - Understanding Metabolism and Its Impact on Energy Use 3:30 - Metabolic Flexibility: Balancing Sugar and Fat as Fuel Sources 11:22 - Identifying Fat Burners Versus Sugar Burners 15:51 - How Crash Dieting and Calorie Restriction Impact Metabolism 19:26 - The Impact of Crash Diets on Muscle Mass and Metabolism 23:16 - Reversing Muscle Loss and Metabolism Decline Through Resistance Training 25:34 - Breaking the Cycle of Crash Dieting and Metabolic Slowdown 27:48 - Unresolved Trauma and Emotional Dysregulation 28:41 - The Impact of Gut Health on Metabolism and Weight Loss 31:36 - The Dangers and Costs of Semaglutides for Weight Loss 33:48 - The Importance of Resistance Training for Longevity and Metabolism 35:10 - Holistic Approaches to Boosting Metabolism and Overall Well-Being 41:38 - The Impact of Habits on Emotions and Actions 44:25 - Shifting Your Nervous System to Break the Weight Cycle 48:34 - Managing Emotions Without Food or Substances Key Takeaways: Understanding Metabolism: Metabolism is your body's ability to burn calories at rest and is influenced by factors like BMR and overall energy efficiency.

In this week's minisode, Sherry Shaban dives deep into the science of hormones and their impact on weight management, eating behaviors, and overall health.  Do you need help to maintain motivation for your fitness goals? Do binge eating, emotional eating, or nighttime eating habits hinder your progress? Sherry addresses these issues by explaining how the body's hormones function and how you can work with your body rather than against it to overcome these challenges. Throughout the discussion, Sherry emphasizes the importance of managing hormones like insulin and cortisol. She explains how these hormones are crucial in fat storage, metabolism, and stress responses. By understanding the mechanics of these hormones, listeners can adopt strategies such as choosing complex carbohydrates, eating less frequently, and practicing non-purposeful exercise to manage insulin levels effectively. Additionally, Sherry highlights the significance of minimizing stress and promoting a sense of safety to reduce cortisol levels, thereby improving overall health and facilitating weight loss. Key Takeaways: Hormonal Influence on Weight Management: It's the hormones, not calories, that dictate how the body handles food. Manage insulin and cortisol for effective weight control. Insulin as a Storage Hormone: Insulin is crucial for transporting glucose and protein to tissues and is triggered by the presence of these nutrients in the bloodstream. Impact of Cortisol: High cortisol levels due to chronic stress can slow metabolism, increase fat storage around the midsection, and trigger cravings for high-energy foods. Strategies for Hormone Management: Choose complex carbs, eat less frequently, prefer whole foods over processed options, and avoid artificial sweeteners to manage insulin. Pattern Interrupt for Cortisol: Techniques like breath work, meditation, and other tools can help shift from protection mode to safety mode, reducing cortisol levels and promoting well-being Connect with Sherry Shaban: Book a Food Freedom Strategy Call: https://calendly.com/sherryshaban/makepeacewithfood Get Your Free Food Freedom Workbook: https://www.makepeacewithfood.com Join Make Peace With Food CommunEATy: http://ourcommuneaty.com Download HIIT Decks App Now!: http://www.hiitdecks.com Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast: http://www.fallinlovewithfitness.com YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@sherryshabanfitness

Sherry starts by addressing common misconceptions around diet trends such as low-carb and keto diets, offering insightful advice on how to navigate the overwhelming world of nutritional information. Sherry explains how emotions and the nervous system—specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic states—affect the body's ability to burn fat.

"We can control the things that we believe we can't control. We just need to dig deep and find where we have that belief from and then transform it." - Karoline Fischer While many may equate success with outward achievements such as professional accolades and financial prosperity, the reality is that our internal narratives—many rooted in childhood experiences—play a pivotal role in shaping our behaviors and actions. As we navigate the complexities of life, it becomes essential to recognize the profound impact of subconscious beliefs and traumas on our ability to manifest our best selves. With hypnotherapy emerging as a powerful tool to access and transform these deeply embedded patterns, we delve into its potential to unlock personal growth and empowerment. In this episode of FILWF, host Sherry Shaban with Karoline Fischer discuss hypnotherapy, the subconscious mind, and overcoming trauma. Karoline's unique intersection as a medical doctor and hypnotherapist provides an enriching perspective on the power of addressing issues rooted in subconscious beliefs and past experiences. Karoline takes us through a deep exploration of how trauma impacts behavior and may manifest as challenges in diet, discipline, and life choices, despite seemingly unrelated circumstances. Karoline discusses the concept of the "inner child" and the significance of understanding and resolving past traumas to release emotional blocks and move towards the highest version of oneself. The episode also brings to light the current mental health strategies, highlighting the importance of empowering individuals as opposed to fostering dependence on therapy.

Intuitive eating is about more than just listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues. It's a mindset shift that can transform your relationship with food. In today's minisode, host Sherry Shaban discusses the concept of intuitive eating. She explains that intuitive eating is about listening to your body's natural cues for hunger and fullness, but cautions that it can backfire if you're receiving cues from the reptilian part of your brain in protection mode.

"We all have our own inner doctor"This week I welcome, Sherry Shaban, an extraordinary fitness and life coach who's battled back from the brink of paralysis to transform not only her body but her entire outlook on life. With over 23 years of experience in the fitness industry, Sherry is a renowned expert in the most challenging weight loss cases and has helped thousands of people worldwide transform their health and fitness using her revolutionary method to rewire the brain, release self-sabotaging limiting beliefs, and patterns, and fall in love with fitness so that weight loss becomes easy, predictable, and enjoyable.For the first few years of being a gym owner, Sherry felt like a phony. She was frustrated with herself, disappointed and angry for being a “victim” of her circumstances, unable to demonstrate a single squat. But her turning point toward recovery came from understanding that one of the central elements of transformation is to let go of debilitating and self-limiting thoughts, and to begin to rewrite a new story. If you want to connect with Sherry, visit the following:Instagram: @sherryshabanfitness Website: sherryshaban.com FREE workbook: www.makepeacewithfood.com _____________________________________________________________________WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!Have a question, suggestion or comment for the podcast?
