Podcasts about what you eat

Luang Por Vajiro gave this Dhamma talk on 14 July 2026 at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in the UK. The post You’re What You Eat appeared first on Amaravati Buddhist Monastery.

SummaryAre you tired of eating the same meals during fat loss? Before you completely change your diet, you may want to ask yourself if being a little bored is actually a bad thing.In this episode, Chase and Chris talk about why simple and even “boring” meals can make fat loss much easier. When you eat similar meals, you have fewer decisions to make. Grocery shopping gets easier, meal prep takes less work, and tracking your calories and macros becomes much simpler.But that does not mean you need to eat plain chicken, rice, and broccoli every day.Chase and Chris explain how to find the middle ground between eating the exact same foods every day and feeling like every meal needs to be a five-star experience. They share simple ways to create more variety by changing seasonings, sauces, sides, and how you put your meals together.They also talk about an important question: Are you actually bored with your meals, or are you craving more exciting and highly rewarding foods?You'll learn when food boredom is normal, when it might be time to change your meals, why hunger can make food cravings stronger during a fat loss phase, and how keeping most of your meals simple can actually give you MORE freedom to enjoy fun foods without feeling guilty.Fat loss does not have to mean eating foods you hate. But learning to be okay with some repetition may make reaching your goals a whole lot easier.Chapters(00:32) Are You Actually Bored With Your Fat Loss Meals?(01:46) Why Some Food Boredom Is Normal During Fat Loss(02:35) How Your Environment Changes Your Expectations Around Food(03:32) Why We Expect Dinner to Be a Big Experience(05:03) How the Way We Eat Has Changed(07:32) Not Every Meal Needs to Be Exciting(09:03) Finding the Middle Ground Between Boring and Fun Foods(10:21) Are You Making Your Own Diet Boring?(11:05) The Unexpected Kangaroo Meat Conversation(12:39) Why Simple Meals Make Fat Loss Easier(14:49) The Benefits of Eating Boring Staple Meals(16:23) When Should You Add More Variety?(17:47) The “Egg Ick” and Getting Burned Out on Foods(18:37) Don't Add Variety When You Don't Have Time for It(19:32) Too Many Food Choices Can Make Fat Loss Harder(20:49) Find a Few Go-To Meals That Work(22:10) How to Add Variety Without Reinventing Your Diet(22:46) Prep Your Protein and Change Everything Else(24:12) Build a List of Meals You Already Love(24:43) Please Season Your Food!(25:29) Low-Calorie Sauces and Condiments for More Flavor(26:21) Use “Anchor Meals” to Keep Your Week Simple(27:17) How Boring Meals Give You More Flexibility(28:32) Are You Bored or Just Craving Hyper-Palatable Foods?(29:56) How to Fit Cheeseburgers, Fries, and Fun Foods Into Fat Loss(30:40) How Your Taste Buds Change Based on What You Eat(32:35) Chase Tries McDonald's for the First Time in Four Years(33:27) Why Hunger Makes Food Boredom Worse(34:25) Stop Chasing a Five-Star Experience at Every Meal(35:09) Finding Your Balance Between Whole Foods and Fun Foods(36:13) What Food Are You Completely Sick of Right Now?SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Think menopause is why you're gaining weight? It's not. The truth: your metabolism stays stable from age 20 to 60. What does change? Your energy balance—and most women don't see it happening. In this episode, I unpack the real reason weight loss feels harder now, and what you can do to shift it. You'll learn how energy in (food) vs. energy out (movement) drives fat loss, why tracking intake matters more than ever, and how your body subtly burns less as you lose weight—without you even noticing. What you'll walk away with: Why “calories” are just energy—and why mindset around them matters The law of thermodynamics: no one gets around it How untracked changes in daily movement stall fat loss Why tracking isn't about judgment—it's data to guide your goals What's really behind midlife weight gain (and it's not your hormones) Cut through the confusion. If weight loss has felt impossible lately, this might be the missing piece.   Get Weekly Health Tips:  thrivehealthcoachllc.com Let's Connect:@‌ashleythrivehealthcoach or via email: ashley@thrivehealthcoachingllc.com Podcast Produced by Virtually You!

What if aging didn't have to mean decline? What if the years ahead could be just as vibrant as your youth—if not more so? In this week's episode of Ageless Athlete, Jamie Justice, Executive Vice President of Health at XPRIZE, reveals how she's leading a $101 million global competition to make that vision a reality.This episode is packed with mind-expanding insights, but here's a preview of the most compelling takeaways:A Personal Journey That InspiresJamie's story is one of resilience and adventure. From ultra-running streaks spanning nearly two years to parenting competitive climbers, Jamie lives the philosophy of "ageless." Her mother, who sold everything in her 70s to live out of a van and explore the world, embodies the possibilities of living fully at any age. Jamie's life is a testament to the mindset she's advocating—a perfect balance of science and the human spirit.The Bold Vision of XPRIZE HealthspanForget pills and quick fixes. The XPRIZE Healthspan competition is bringing together over 550 teams from 55 countries to develop breakthrough therapies, public health interventions, and lifestyle solutions that extend healthspan. Innovations range from repurposed drugs and stem cell therapies to meditation and housing-first models for improving health.What You Eat (and When) Matters More Than You ThinkJamie shares why diet quality trumps calorie counting and how simple changes in meal timing can dramatically impact your health. Plus, she explains how your circadian rhythm might hold the key to living longer and better.Why Following Brian Johnson May Be the Wrong PathJamie dives into the challenges of “biohacking” as it's often presented by high-profile figures like Brian Johnson. While they may market one-size-fits-all solutions, Jamie explains why aging is deeply personal, influenced by biology, environment, and individual needs. Her advice? Science-backed personalization—not cookie-cutter regimens—is the future of longevity.The Human Side of ScienceBeyond the labs and clinical trials, Jamie's insights are grounded in a deeply human perspective. From enduring personal loss to celebrating the small joys of life, she reminds us that longevity isn't just about living longer—it's about living better.If you've enjoyed the show, please hit 5

The pursuit of altered states of consciousness through substances like drugs and alcohol is an age-old practice. Despite their potential risks and negative consequences, these substances continue to be widely used with an increasing variety of options available.In recent decades, a new challenge has emerged: the conscious or unconscious manipulation of our body's feel-good chemistry. Activities like excessive social media use, compulsive shopping, and overindulgence in sugary foods can trigger dopamine releases, creating a short-lived sense of pleasure.This "more-is-better" mentality often leads to addiction and various chronic health issues.In this episode, Thom explores the impact of the more-is-better mentality and proposes a more balanced and sustainable approach to well-being. By focusing on natural methods, such as Vedic Meditation, we can harness our body's innate ability to produce feel-good chemicals without relying on external substances or compulsive behaviors.Episode Highlights[00:45] An Obsession With Control[02:53] Dopamine Should be Left Alone[05:41] Scurvy: The Unintended Consequence of Vitamin C Supplements[09:05] It's Better for You to De-Excite[11:34] Active Ingredient Mentality[14:22] Undesirable Effects[16:48] Nature Knows Best How to Organize[18:56] It's What You Do with What You Eat[21:48] Awaken Perfect Balance in the Human BrainUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Colin Johannsen of Authentic Growth Coaching. Colin's fitness journey and path as a health coach began with his quest to improve his overall fitness which he has dubbed “Quest for Zest”. Being an elementary school teacher for years, Colin found the profession placed him in a box and did not allow him to be the teacher he wished he could be. His passion for teaching and fitness drives him to continue to educate himself to ensure he is the best version of himself for himself and his clients. Colin was fortunate to have discovered his true passion - helping people make meaningful transformations so they can live the life they truly want and deserve.

Today Blu interviews Drew Mulvey MS, CDN, CNS, CLT, PNL1, CISN. Drew graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Bridgeport with a Master of Science in Human Nutrition in 2018 and received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology in 2012.  She is currently certified by the state of Connecticut as a Certified Dietitian/Nutritionist as well as a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Leap Therapist, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Integrative Sports Nutritionist, and has her own practice Redeeming Life Nutrition, LLC.   Drew has gained her nutrition experience working in several arenas including weight loss clinics, personal training, interning under a naturopathic doctor, through her personal practice, and a competitive residency program under a functional medicine nutritionist. She prides herself in helping active women transform their mindsets and beliefs around food, find their true selves, and empower them to ignite their true athletic potential. Her passion stems from my struggles with disordered eating and multiple health battles during my teens, such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autoimmunity, and bulimia. In her twenties, from overactivity and disordered eating patterns known as orthorexia, she developed the Female Athlete Triad, a complex stemming from low energy intake and leading to a loss of menses and decreased bone density.  All these significantly impacted on her athletic career and could have all been avoided.    She decided to enroll in her Master of Nutrition program so that her eyes were open to other avenues such as Naturopathic Medicine, Acupuncture, Nutrition, Supplementation, Food Sensitivity Testing, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Mindset Reformation. By incorporating these principles, entering a 12-step program known as Celebrate Recovery, and reshaping her relationship with food and herself; she was able to break the chains of disordered eating and regain her athletic ability back. Today, she has now found a deep passion for endurance sports and has an Ironman 70.3 set in her future endeavors.   Her goal is to get to the root cause of the problem spiritually, emotionally, and physically to create new foundations, leading these women to transformation and success in their athletic careers and their lives.  It is an incredibly individualized approach that captures their strengths and uses them to "break the cycle."  

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...…two food experts explain the many ways your food choices influence your body systems—and what you can do differently to improve your gut function, energy and performance. Here's a look at how essential amino acids and the right proteins can keep inflammation at bay and keep your metabolism humming.Teri Cochrane, CN, CCP, went down the research rabbit hole when both her son and daughter (at different ages and for different reasons) experienced severe health problems. She not only examined nutrition in-depth, but she also investigated epigenetics and nutrigenomics “Disruptors such as pathogens, mycotoxins, stress, amyloids and inflammatory foods work together to impair body balance,” Teri says. “We have found a direct link between amyloids, mycotoxins and these health disruptors in the acceleration of disease.”She's developed her own methodology that integrates a multi-level nutritional approach—including biochemistry, nutrition, genetic tendencies, herbology, supplementation and counseling. As the author of the “The Wildatarian Diet: Living as Nature Intended,” Teri lays out how the malabsorption of protein, fat, and sulfur, tamper with gene expression. Mareya Ibrahim believes in food flexibility while still focusing on a core system that works. She's a holistic nutritionist, TV chef, podcast host, and award-winning entrepreneur and inventor with more than 25 years of experience in the food industry. She also founded Grow Green Industries and co-invented the patented eatCleaner line of products.In her book, “Eat Like You Give a Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive,” she explains the nuances of clean eating, how to reset your taste buds, and all the ways essential amino acids keep your body functioning.“Essential amino acids are what fuel us and allow us to regulate our hormones, and flex our metabolisms, and build muscle, and all of the things that we need to be functioning human beings,” Mareya says.
