Podcasts about Willpower

Have you been trying to quit pornography by fighting it? Many people approach this process like a battle, trying to resist urges, push them away, or overpower them with discipline and willpower. But when you treat urges like an enemy you need to defeat, it actually makes the process harder.Join me this week as I show you how surrendering to urges and the emotions beneath them can completely change the way you approach quitting porn. You will learn why willpower often backfires, how resisting emotions can make urges stronger, and why allowing yourself to feel uncomfortable emotions is a key step toward lasting freedom.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://centerforovercoming.com/post/power-surrendering-urgesClick here to sign up for my free masterclass, How to Overcome Pornography without using Willpower: https://sarabrewer.com/masterclassMentioned in this episode:FREE TRAINING on March 25: How to Finally Be Free from Porn in 2026This is a shame-free, sex-positive methodology designed to help you overcome pornography for good in 2026.

Text us a comment or question!Have you ever told yourself, "Tonight I'm only having one drink." And then somehow one becomes two… two becomes three… and the next morning you're wondering, "Why did I do that again?" Most people assume the answer is simple:  You just need more willpower. But according to today's guest, that belief is actually part of the problem. In this fascinating conversation, intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland explains why the struggle with alcohol isn't really about discipline, self-control, or even the alcohol itself.It's about how your brain, emotions, and nervous system respond to stress, habit, and identity. Colleen shares why traditional approaches like Dry January, white-knuckling, and strict rules often fail—and introduces a radically different idea: The solution to over-drinking isn't getting sober. It's getting happier. Through her concept of Emotional Sobriety, Colleen helps high-achieving professionals retrain their brains so that drinking less becomes natural and effortless, rather than a constant battle. And the insights she shares in this episode may completely change the way you think about alcohol, habits, and self-control. In This Episode You'll Learn:Why willpower alone almost never works when it comes to drinking lessThe surprising difference between alcoholism and Alcohol Use DisorderWhy many successful professionals quietly struggle with drinking habitsThe brain chemistry behind why one drink often leads to moreWhy Dry January and other “breaks” from alcohol often failHow stress and nervous system dysregulation drive the urge to drinkThe powerful mindset shift behind “Get Happy, Not Sober”How to create a healthy relationship with alcoholWhy emotional regulation may be the most important life skill you can develop About Today's GuestColleen Freeland is an Intuitive Drinking Coach and host of the globally top-ranked podcast It's Not About the Alcohol. She is the creator of Emotional Sobriety Coaching, a program designed for high-achieving professionals who want to dramatically reduce their alcohol consumption without relying on shame, rigid rules, or willpower. Colleen combines neuroscience, neurophysiology, cognitive reframing, and spirituality to help people retrain their brains so they naturally prefer moderation over over-drinking. Connect with ColleenWebsite: https://emotionalsobrietycoaching.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehangoverwhispererYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv24pItAK0xWQ_m6mD8T50wTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hangoverwhispererFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HangoverWhispererPodcast: It's Not About the Alcohol  If You Enjoyed ThiOver 50 and frustrated with your progress?

Beyond Belief author Nir Eyal returns to break down why belief — not motivation — is the missing piece behind every goal you've abandoned too early.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1295What We Discuss with Nir Eyal:The number one reason people fail to reach their goals isn't a lack of knowledge or resources — it's that they quit. Motivation isn't a straight line from behavior to benefit; it's a triangle that includes belief. Without belief in both the process and the payoff, perseverance crumbles.Limiting beliefs are invisible cages we mistake for facts. Phrases like "I don't have time," "I'm too old," or "someone like me can't do this" feel like objective truths, but they're actually tools that sap motivation and increase suffering — and most people never stop to examine them.Venting feels productive but actually reinforces the distorted mental image you've built of someone. Instead, Nir uses a "turnaround" technique — asking if the opposite of your grievance could also be true — to collect a portfolio of perspectives and reduce suffering.Visualizing dream outcomes doesn't motivate you — it physiologically relaxes you into inaction. Research shows people who "manifest" goals actually achieve less. What works is mental contrasting: rehearsing how you'll handle the inevitable obstacles and discomfort.Your beliefs are tools, not truths — and you can swap them out like a carpenter reaching for the right instrument. Start examining one belief that's been holding you back, test it with honest questions, and try on a more liberating perspective for a week.

Most people think they're broken when life slows down. They're not. When momentum disappears, and everything feels like a grind, it's not a lack of discipline or drive — it's misalignment. I've spent 26 years watching what actually works, and real momentum isn't something you force. It emerges when the conditions of your life line up and stay that way. Today I'm sharing the philosophy of inevitable momentum — what it means, why friction is likely holding you back right now, and the simple cycle that keeps successful people moving forward. Featured Story I've been building this philosophy for about 26 or 27 years. Early on, I said life begins when you move. That was real, but it was tactical. Then I started noticing something much bigger happening. When people got genuinely excited about what they were doing, motivation became automatic. And when motivation became automatic, momentum wasn't just possible — it was inevitable. I started calling it inevitable momentum, and I've watched it play out again and again with clients. When life aligns, people don't just inch forward. They move with real clarity, energy, and speed. You can actually see it happen. Important Points Momentum isn't something you force — it emerges when your life's conditions are properly aligned and stay that way. Feeling stuck isn't a personal failure. It's a signal that something has quietly drifted out of alignment in your life. Force will never fix a momentum problem — but clarity will. Seeing what's actually off is always the first real step. Memorable Quotes When awareness leads to alignment and alignment leads to consistent daily movement, momentum becomes inevitable. You're not broken, and you haven't lost your drive. Something in your life has just quietly shifted out of alignment. Willpower never works long-term. Real momentum is free will — it shows up naturally when conditions are right. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start with awareness — get honest about what's draining your energy and where friction is showing up right now. Once you see it clearly, align your daily actions with your values and where you actually are in life right now. Take the next honest step — not perfect, just correct — and let consistent movement build naturally into momentum.

Metabolism affects everything: your energy, fat burning, cravings, sleep, stress response, and even how "resistant" weight loss can feel. If you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, low energy, bloating, or that frustrating sense that your body is working against you—this episode is for you. Have you ever wondered why you can be eating "healthy," watching portions, and still feel stuck with weight loss resistance… especially in perimenopause? Or why stress seems to hijack your metabolism, your gut health, and your hormones all at once? Today I'm giving you a deep, practical look at what metabolism actually is, why calorie counting often backfires, and what your body needs to restore hormone balance, digestive health, and metabolic momentum. I also bust the biggest myths that keep women defeated—like the idea that your metabolism "crashes" at middle age—and I walk you through what's really happening when stress, sleep quality, inflammation, IBS symptoms, and blood sugar swings start shaping the way your body stores fat and produces energy. You'll come away understanding the "why" behind your exhaustion and what's quietly blocking your metabolic potential. Key points you'll hear inside the episode The simple metabolism definition that changes everything—and why it's not just "calories in, calories out" when you're dealing with fatigue, hormone balance issues, and weight loss resistance The surprising research on metabolism and aging (and why perimenopause isn't a "metabolism death sentence," even if it feels like one) The stress–sleep–metabolism loop: how chronic stress and poor sleep quality can shut down fat burning, increase cravings, and worsen brain fog and low energy Why focusing on digestive health, gut microbiome support, and food quality can shift metabolism—without obsessing over calorie counting Metabolism isn't a punishment your body hands you. It's a system you can work with. And once you understand how metabolism, hormones, stress, sleep, and gut health connect, it becomes easier to stop blaming yourself and start changing the conditions that are keeping you stuck. In this episode, I'll help you reframe the entire metabolism conversation—especially if you've been told you're "just getting older," that it's menopause, that it's your genetics, or that you simply need more willpower. Your body isn't broken. More often, it's responding exactly as it was designed to respond… to chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, low-quality fuel, and a life that keeps your nervous system stuck in overdrive. If you're ready to feel more energized, clearer, and more in control of your appetite, cravings, and digestion—press play. I'll give you the "what" and the "why" so you finally understand what's driving your fatigue and weight loss resistance, and you'll hear the practical next steps inside the recording. Your metabolism is working for you every second of the day. Let's start supporting it like it deserves. Stop wasting time (and money) on products that don't work. My Trusted Brands Guide is the exact list I share with my private clients — the skincare, supplements, food, and wellness tools that have been tested and proven to deliver results. No fluff.

Most of us are doing our best to do it all on our own. We're juggling our dreams and other's expectations, work, relationships, finances, health. It's overwhelming; often leaving us wondering if we have what it takes to keep going. With every passing week, we push harder and cope longer just to keep our head above water. Is this just the way it is? We wish we were better, stronger, greater, and more self-sufficient than we are. But despite how much we try, we don't feel any more at peace. Ever think, “If Jesus were sitting right next to me, I'd be so much more confident and capable.” His first followers experienced that to be true. Then one day, he turned and said, “It'd be even better for you if I went away.” What? That can't be right! But what if it is? Could that promise be true for everyone, even you? It seems to be. What if learning to connect to God's Spirit is the secret weapon you've been waiting for all along? We're going to show you how

What do you do when you feel completely stuck and don't know how to move forward? In this episode, Coach Kat Jenkins shares a simple framework to help you break out of that feeling, get unstuck, and start creating movement again, especially when you're working on overcoming pornography. Kat introduces four powerful questions designed to help you shift out of stuckness and take your next step. Each question offers a different lens for understanding what might be holding you back and how you can begin moving forward, even if progress feels slow. She encourages you to choose at least one of these questions and use it today to start creating momentum.

Blood sugar instability, afternoon energy crashes, insulin resistance, and hormone fatigue in midlife women.If you wake up tired, crash in the afternoon, and rely on caffeine just to keep going, this may not be a motivation issue. It may be a physiological pattern your body has been running for years.In this episode, Janell breaks down the blood sugar instability pattern that quietly drives fatigue, hormone disruption, anxiety, and the feeling of constantly trying to keep up with your day. Many high-achieving women override hunger signals, skip meals, or rely on caffeine to push through work and responsibilities. Over time, those habits can create a metabolic rhythm that affects energy, sleep, and hormone balance.You'll learn how blood sugar regulation connects with cortisol, insulin, and progesterone, and why this pattern is about much more than food choices alone. When blood sugar becomes unstable, it can impact ovulation, nervous system regulation, inflammation, and the hormones that support calm, restorative sleep.This conversation expands the lens beyond diet culture and restriction. Instead of pushing harder, Janell explains how understanding your body's patterns can help you rebuild energy and stability in a sustainable way.In This Episode You'll Learn• Why the afternoon energy crash is often a blood sugar pattern, not a discipline problem• How cortisol, insulin, and glucose interact to influence your energy throughout the day• Why blood sugar instability can suppress progesterone and worsen hormone symptoms• The connection between inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic stress• Why skipping meals or relying on caffeine can disrupt long-term metabolic balance• Simple shifts that support stable energy and hormone healthCommon Questions This Episode AnswersWhy do I wake up tired even after a full night of sleep?Why do I crash every afternoon around the same time?Can blood sugar instability affect hormones like progesterone?Why does caffeine sometimes suppress hunger in the morning?What labs can help identify blood sugar or metabolic imbalance?Mentioned in This EpisodeHormone Harmony Quizhttps://www.thetransformationlife.com/hormone-quizConnect With JanellWebsitehttps://www.thetransformationlife.comInstagramhttp://instagram.com/thetransformationlifeListen to The Transformation ShowApple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-transformation-show/id1441665376?uo=4Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3aWZqptF6dne2sZLPbJdkYDisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace personalized medical advice.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… FIRST PROBLEM…THE F1 TV COVERAGE IS STINKO! LOOKS LIKE MERCEDES IS GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT AGAIN! FERRARI LOOK FAST BUT THE BAD DECISIONS CONTINUE AND ASTON MARTIN LOOK TO BE IN TROUBLE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER... WE HAVE A CANADIAN BONANZA! TEDDY YIP JR., DANIEL MORRAD AND ROBERT WICKENS! George Russell... That wasn't a straightforward afternoon, but this win feels very sweet! Congratulations to the whole team; they've done an incredible job and this victory is for them. We had a difficult and chaotic start and from there, were yo-yoing with the overtakes between Charles and me. I could have perhaps used my energy more smartly to defend when I first overtook him and that cost me when he passed me back. It was quite stressful from in the car but hopefully meant we put on a good show for the fans. We stopped quite early on when the Virtual Safety Car was deployed and knew we were going to have to manage our tyres from there. We were not clear on whether the one or the two-stop was going to be quickest or which one was the right decision to help us take victory. The strategy team made a great call though and I am really happy we could take the victory and the 1-2. It's a perfect way to start the season and we will enjoy this moment, but it is still very early days in the championship, and we know our rivals will be trying to close the gap quickly. It wasn't easy for us so let's see how we perform in China next week. Kimi Antonelli What an afternoon and what a weekend! It has not been easy on my side of the garage here in Melbourne, but we've come away from here with a great result. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Lauda Drive and Morgan Drive; they've produced a really strong car and a platform for us to build on. This 1-2 is for them and due to all the hard work and effort they've put in over several years. Coming to the grid, I had a lower battery level so the start was very stressful! We obviously made a slow launch but from there our recovery was good and our pace was strong. That enabled us to fight our way back to the Ferraris and ultimately, after we went through the pitstops, to take a 1-2 for the team. There is a lot we've learned about our car and how to operate within these new regulations this weekend. Whilst we were the strongest team in Melbourne, we are going to have to work really hard to stay ahead. I'm now looking forward to China and seeing what we can do in Shanghai. MAX... “The first laps were pretty hectic and we just needed to stay out of trouble. I had some issues at the start with the battery so as soon as the clutch was dropped, I had no power so that is something we need to understand. We then got quite cleanly through the field, did some decent overtakes and learned a bit about what we could do. We settled into our own race but unfortunately had a little too much degradation; the tyre behaviour was surprising as we had a lot of graining on the Hard compound, which of course compromised our stints and meant that we couldn't really fight for more. So, this is something that we need to go back and understand a bit more. We also tried everything at the end to overtake again and gain a position but when we got close my tyres opened up. Overall the Team still did a great job: it was a decent comeback from P20 and we will work as a Team to close the gap further.” ISACK... "Today was frustrating. I was confident that we could challenge for the podium so this result is a shame. I felt really strong off the line but unfortunately the issue we had came up straight away. The reliability we had throughout the weekend was good, but of course, the race is different and I could feel that there was a problem quite early on. The car was making a funny sound and I knew that we weren't going to make it to the end. It's frustrating, but these things can happen and we're so early on in our journey. We quickly go onto China with a short turnaround but I'm confident that we're going to learn from this.”    Newgarden Hunts Down Victory, Takes Series Lead at Phoenix   AVONDALE, Ariz. (Saturday, March 7, 2026) – It took Josef Newgarden 17 races last year to earn his only victory of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. That winning box already is checked this year, two races in. SEE: Race Results Two-time series champion Newgarden earned his first victory of the season and 33rd of his illustrious career by closing down and passing leader Kyle Kirkwood with seven laps remaining to win the Good Ranchers 250 on Saturday at Phoenix Raceway. Newgarden, who started second, drove away to a 1.7937-second victory in the No. 2 XPEL Team Penske Chevrolet over the No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com of Andretti Global driver Kirkwood. “I'm very surprised,” Newgarden said. “In the middle of the race, I don't know that I was fully believing that we had the capability to win. We just kept working through it, and I'm like, ‘Look, if we get another opportunity, we're going to be aggressive, we're going to be on the offense.' “We took tires, and the thing was like a rocket ship when it needed to be, right at the end of the race. Hats off to the whole crew. I'm pumped.” NTT P1 Award winner David Malukas finished third in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet as Roger Penske's legendary team celebrated its 60th anniversary season with two podium positions. Pato O'Ward finished fourth in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, with Marcus Armstrong rounding out the top five in the No. 66 ROOT Insurance Honda of Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian. INDYCAR's first race in Phoenix since 2018 – Newgarden and Team Penske also won that event – featured plenty of action throughout the field, as there were 565 on-track passes, an INDYCAR record at the 1-mile desert oval. But a combination of tire strategy and deft maneuvering in traffic delivered the victory to Newgarden, who also won the season-ending race last August at Nashville Superspeedway to avoid a winless 2025. Kirkwood made his last stop on Lap 192 and was running fourth behind teammate Will Power, Christian Rasmussen and O'Ward on Lap 207. Power and Rasmussen were engaged in a ferocious duel for the lead, with the left front wing end plate of Rasmussen's No. 21 ECR Splenda Stevia Chevrolet making contact with the right rear tire of Power's No. 26 TWG AI Honda exiting Turn 2. That impact cut Power's tire, triggering the final caution period of the race and ending his chances of an improbable victory after starting last in the 25-car field. Rasmussen's car also was damaged. During that final caution period, Newgarden and a handful of other drivers near the front entered pit lane for fresh Firestone Firehawk tires, as tire grip was a far bigger strategic factor in this race than fuel management. Rasmussen, Kirkwood, Malukas and Armstrong were among the drivers who decided to stay on track, opting for track position over traction. Rasmussen led at the final restart of the 250-lap race on Lap 218, but his damaged car ended up being no match for Kirkwood, who drove past Rasmussen for the lead on Lap 242. Rasmussen faded in the last eight laps with car damage and worn tires, placing a bitterly disappointed 14th after thrilling the large crowd with many daring passes to get to the front five times for 69 laps. “We were the class of the field today – best car out there,” Rasmussen said. “It's so frustrating because we should have won the race today.” Kirkwood led Newgarden by six-tenths of a second when he took the lead, but Newgarden's tire advantage was obvious within less than a lap. Newgarden gnawed into Kirkwood's lead and drove under Kirkwood in Turn 4 for the lead for good just two laps later, on Lap 244. “We thought about it, but we were talking about it, and the pits opened,” Kirkwood said about the possibility of pitting during the late caution. “(Staying out) was the right thing to do at the time.” As a bonus in this young season, Newgarden became the first driver other than four-time series champion Alex Palou to lead the standings since June 2024. Two-time Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge winner Newgarden leads Kirkwood, 78-73, after two races as he tries to win the series crown for the first time since 2019. “Do we really have the lead?” Newgarden said. “Two races in, so I wouldn't read too much into it. But momentum is a big deal. It's very difficult to understand how things work. Sometimes things go against us, sometimes they go for us. It was just great execution by the team.” Palou placed 24th, completing just 21 laps in No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, after side-by-side contact with the No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet of Rinus VeeKay led to a trip into the SAFER Barrier. It was Palou's worst finish since he placed 25th last June in Detroit after contact eliminated him from that street race.

Send a textWhat if your biggest growth edge isn't more information, but a better system for turning insights into action? That's the challenge leadership coach Ray Kelly brings to the table as we dig into practical ways to remember what we learn, teach it fast, and make it stick for good.We start by dismantling a common myth: long-term success is not powered by superhuman motivation. Ray explains why only a small slice of outcomes come from willpower and why systems do the heavy lifting. He walks us through his simple but powerful framework—capture two or three nuggets from any book or talk, write them in a dedicated leadership journal, and then teach them to someone the same day. Twice a year, he schedules a focused "Ray Day" to review notes, extract the best ideas, and design concrete next steps. It's less about consuming more and more about integrating better.From there, we map the four attributes of great leaders: self-awareness, self-assessment, the ability to learn and integrate, and the will to win. Ray breaks down the difference between reliable level four leadership and true level five impact. The key? Tie goals and actions to a clear why—personal values, vision, mission—and develop other level fours. He shows how teaching accelerates mastery (you learn it twice), how the 70-20-10 model keeps growth grounded in action, and how cutting distractions protects the deep focus that makes strategy real.You'll also hear practical tactics you can try today: reserve the first and last pages of your notebook for quotes and factoids, voice-note insights on walks, compress your year's best ideas into four pages you can teach, and schedule your next review before you leave the room. If you lead or coach, choose who you invest in with intention—work with people you like, who want to grow, and who have upside—so the learning loop stays strong and energizing.If you're ready to step off the hamster wheel and build momentum that lasts, hit play. Then share one takeaway with a colleague and schedule your own "Ray Day" on the calendar. Enjoyed this conversation?

Why most leaders stop right before the shift happens You understand it now. You see why vision alone didn't work. You see why managing wasn't a personality flaw. You see why reinforcement matters more than inspiration. But understanding isn't the same as installing. In this final episode of the series, we confront the quiet crossroads most leaders reach—the moment where insight must turn into decision. Because nothing changes until you stop "trying" and start installing. The biggest gap isn't intelligence or effort—it's commitment. Most owners don't fail because they can't build leadership infrastructure. They stall because consistency is harder than clarity. They stop at 80% because the final stretch requires identity-level change. Understanding the system feels like progress, but only installation creates freedom. Key Takeaways Insight without installation just becomes another "aha" moment Consistency is harder than clarity—and that's where most leaders quit The in-between phase (no longer the hero, not yet fully free) is where identity shifts Trying leaves an exit ramp; installing closes the door Willpower is not a leadership strategy—environment design is Most businesses "work enough," which is why real transformation gets delayed Staying halfway keeps you needed—but never free The real decision is whether you're willing to stop running your business on personal energy Ready to Install—Not Just Understand? Even though the Vision Workshop has already happened, you can still access the full replay. If this series helped you see where leadership actually breaks down—and why knowing better hasn't been enough—the workshop walks you through how to turn vision into structure, structure into reinforcement, and reinforcement into a business that no longer depends on you.  Get the Vision Workshop replay here: https://aibusinessscalingblueprint.com/vision2026

In this episode, Sathiya Sam shares his personal journey of overcoming a decade-long struggle with pornography addiction. He reflects on the mistakes he made during his recovery, emphasizing the importance of understanding the root causes of addiction rather than merely focusing on sin.

In this episode, we're diving deep into ultra-processed foods — and why cravings in your 30s, 40s, and 50s are not a character flaw. If you've ever: Felt compulsive around certain foods Wondered why you “used to have more willpower” Eaten for stress relief and felt ashamed afterward Asked yourself why your partner can stop but you can't This episode is for you. There are three major biologic reasons why cravings intensify during this season of life: 1️⃣ Engineered hyper-palatable foods Modern ultra-processed foods are scientifically designed to manipulate salt, sugar, fat, texture, and glycemic response — overriding normal satiety signals and strengthening dopamine tagging in the brain. 2️⃣ Chronic stress physiology Stress amplifies cravings for energy-dense foods. These foods temporarily shift serotonin and dopamine signaling, creating relief — but worsening the long-term cycle. 3️⃣ Perimenopause & progesterone decline As ovarian reserve shifts in your late 30s and beyond, progesterone drops. Less allopregnanolone support at the GABA receptor means higher anxiety tone — and weaker “brakes” on impulse control. This isn't about willpower. It was never a fair fight.   Citation: Episode 2 – Mechanism-Anchored Evidence Map: Ultra-Processed Foods, Reward Signaling, Stress, and Hormonal Vulnerability Ultra-Processed Food Engineering – Salt, sugar, fat, and texture are manipulated to maximize reward signaling and overconsumption. (Fazzino et al., 2019; Gearhardt et al., 2011; Hall et al., 2019) Dopamine and Reward Tagging – Dopamine marks important stimuli, reinforcing repeated behavior and “wanting” rather than pleasure. (Schultz, 2016; Berridge & Robinson, 1998) High-Glycemic Carbohydrates – Increase tryptophan availability and serotonin synthesis, influencing mood and short-term relief. (Fernstrom & Wurtman, 1972; Wurtman & Wurtman, 1989) Chronic Stress – Alters reward circuitry, increasing vulnerability to compulsive behaviors. (Piazza & Le Moal, 1998; Sinha, 2008) Progesterone, Allopregnanolone, and GABA – Hormonal neurosteroids modulate GABAergic inhibition, stress buffering, and reward sensitivity. (Paul & Purdy, 1992; Reddy, 2010; Purdy et al., 1990) Sleep and Appetite Regulation – Hormonal and neurosteroid pathways influence sleep; sleep disruption increases hunger and cravings. (Tasali et al., 2004; Purdy et al., 1990) Summary: These mechanisms explain why hyper-stimulating foods are particularly compelling during chronic stress and hormonal transitions, showing cravings are biologically reinforced rather than a matter of willpower.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona.

This episode is for you if you've ever struggled with intense cravings, restrictive diets, or the endless cycle of trying to control your weight, only to feel stuck.In this episode, I explores a powerful mindset shift: health starts in your mind, not in your diet, exercise, or movement. Every craving, impulse, and ability to release weight begins in your mental landscape.1. Health Begins in the Mind I challenges conventional health narratives: it's not about CrossFit, macros, or strict plans — it's about your thoughts. Every thought affects body chemistry — hormones, cravings, and fat storage respond to your mind. Scarcity thoughts like “I'm not enough” keep you in protection mode, driving overeating.2. Cravings Are Mental First Cravings, subtle or intense, originate in the mind. Willpower alone won't stop them; addressing thoughts and nervous system patterns does. Permanent change comes from becoming the person who naturally makes healthy choices, not from restriction. Cravings are symptoms, not failures.3. Weight Release Follows Mindset Anti-diet approaches focus on behavior, not weight. The mind regulates the nervous system, which affects metabolism. Sustainable weight release happens when your nervous system feels safe. I shares her journey: years of diets and calorie counting caused disordered eating until she focused on mindset.4. Scarcity vs. Safety Mindset Thoughts like “I missed my window, so I might as well overeat” keep the body in protection mode. Auditing and choosing safety-focused, self-compassionate thoughts helps your nervous system support healthy behavior naturally.5. Beyond Diet Culture Rapid weight-loss promises reinforce shame and scarcity. Real success is centeredness, freedom from cravings, and a stable relationship with food.Key Takeaways & Journal PromptsWrite this mantra: “Health begins in the mind.”Focus on behavior and nervous system regulation.Trace cravings to thoughts, not failures.Long-term change is identity-driven.Center yourself in safety and sufficiency.Journal: Which thoughts make me feel unsafe? How do cravings reflect my nervous system? What mindset shift can create safety? Where can scarcity thinking become abundance thinking?I reminds listeners: lasting change comes from retraining your mind, reclaiming your nervous system, and creating safety. When health begins in the mind, everything else aligns.Work With Sherry:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

Today, I had the honor of connecting with Ashley Koff. She is a leading voice in personalized nutrition and the founder of the Better Nutrition Program. With over 25 years of experience and the groundbreaking GLP-1 Optimization System to her name, she's helped redefine how we approach sustainable weight health. In our conversation, we dive into how her book reframes the concept of healthy weight. We explore integrative perspectives on digestive health and GLP-1s, why many women blame themselves when they struggle to lose weight, and how Ashley's framework helps them remove that self-blame. We also discuss issues surrounding info-besity and the “less is more” approach, natural ways to support appetite regulation and satiety signaling, key areas of digestive health, and the importance of detoxification. Ashley also shares the red flags she sees in women who are undernourishing themselves or over-fasting, things to consider when you want to stop taking GLP-1s, and her opinions on new drug therapies. Join us for today's thought-provoking and insightful conversation around metabolic health and weight-loss resistance for women in middle age, perimenopause, and menopause. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The interconnection that exists between digestion, hormones, and metabolic signaling How the hormonal fluctuation that occurs in perimenopause disrupts women's digestion What drives satiety?  How GLP-1 medications simply amplify, extend, or mimic an existing communication loop within the body rather than creating new pathways Why do women blame themselves when they cannot lose weight? How info-besity blocks the body from doing what it is naturally designed to do  Why detoxification is essential for supporting natural digestive and metabolic processes The red flags that indicate undernourishment or over-fasting in women What you need to think about before stopping GLP-1s Bio: Ashley Koff, RD, is the USA Today bestselling author of⁠ Your Best Shot⁠ (HarperOne) and founder of⁠ The Better Nutrition Program⁠ (BNP).

What happens when you stop trying to hate yourself into change and learn how to work with your mind instead? In this episode, I revisit a conversation with Cannon to talk about his journey from years of struggle with pornography and self-loathing to building a completely different relationship with himself. Cannon shares how the real breakthrough wasn't just quitting porn, but learning that it was okay to struggle and beginning the long process of moving from self-hatred to self-love. This conversation is a powerful reminder that overcoming pornography is about far more than stopping a behavior. It's about changing the way you see yourself and what you believe is possible for your life. Cannon shares how letting go of shame and learning to trust the process allowed him to experience real freedom, and why the work you do to heal yourself can create ripple effects far beyond what you might imagine.

If you know what to do with food but still find yourself emotionally eating, restricting, starting over every Monday, or obsessing over your body, this episode is for you. Emotional eating is not a willpower problem. And body struggle is not a discipline problem. In this episode, I sit down with Marla Mervis-Hartmann, best-selling author of BE-Friend Yourself: Finding Freedom with Food and Peace with Your Body, TEDx speaker, and founder of Love Your Body Love Yourself. Marla has spent decades helping women heal their relationship with food and their bodies through emotional awareness, nervous system support, and compassionate self-work. She works in eating disorder recovery settings and brings both clinical insight and lived experience to this conversation. We talk about emotional eating, body image, trauma, nervous system regulation, and what it actually takes to stop fighting yourself around food. If you are a wellness entrepreneur struggling privately — or supporting clients who are stuck in food cycles — this conversation goes deeper than surface solutions. In This Episode, We Explore: Why emotional eating is rarely about food How stress and shame fuel food cycles The connection between trauma and body image Why "fixing" your body keeps you stuck What BE-Friending yourself really means How healing your body relationship shifts your business energy Resources from Marla Free Mini Course: Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating https://goloveyourbodyloveyourself.com/emotionaleating Order the book BE-Friend Yourself https://a.co/d/2WkJ4vu Website https://www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/loveyourbodyloveyourselfalways/   If this episode resonated, share it with a woman who needs freedom instead of another food rule. Your relationship with your body influences everything you build.

Today, I'm joined by scientist, nutritionist, and emotional eating and self-sabotage coach Matty Lansdown for a real conversation about health and weight that goes way deeper than food rules. Matty shares why most of us already know what to do, but still feel stuck, and how the real shift happens when you understand the patterns underneath your choices.  We talk about emotional eating, trauma and self-protection, dopamine loops, and the unsexy truth that sustainable change usually comes from building awareness first, then making small tweaks consistently, without triggering rebellion. In this episode, we explore:  Why it's "not about calories or kale," it's mindset and behavior change Two common roots behind emotional eating: trauma and dopamine-driven self-soothing A simple awareness practice: track what you eat, where you eat, and what you feel "One tweak a week" and why slow change is often the only change that sticks How rebellion gets triggered by rigid plans, and how self-guided empowerment helps Why naming the emotion can quiet a craving (Michelle shares her own "potato chips" moment) Fermented foods, gut health, and how the microbiome can influence your body's set  Obesogens, plastics, and common chemicals that may disrupt metabolism and hormones Resources from this Episode: Connect with Matty Lansdown: Visit Matty's website Matty's Podcast: The Real Weight Loss Coach Matty on Instagram: @the.real.weight.loss.coach   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden sits down in person with fitness and nutrition expert Autumn Calabrese to unpack the full truth about GLP-1 agonists. With millions of people jumping on semaglutide, tirzepatide, and soon retatrutide, the conversation most doctors aren't having is about what's actually happening inside the body while the scale goes down. Dr. Gladden breaks down how GLP-1s suppress hunger, slow metabolism, and trigger muscle wasting when used without proper diagnostics or a supporting protocol. He explains the critical differences between GLP-1s, GLP-2s, and GLP-3s, reveals why the ghrelin rebound causes most people to regain everything they lost, and shares the strategies he uses in his practice to help patients lose fat while protecting lean tissue. From the 5-day fasting mimicking diet to natural GLP-1 boosters like metabolic probiotics and calocurb, this episode lays out a smarter, more sustainable path to optimizing body composition. Whether you're considering a GLP-1, already on one, or looking for alternatives, this is the conversation that could change your entire approach.

Book a call with the Gladden Longevity team → https://start.gladdenlongevity.com/apply-now Takeaways • Peptides are signaling partners, not substitutes for the work your body needs to do.  • GLP-1s were designed for diabetics and metabolic syndrome, not casual weight loss. • GLP-1s decrease energy expenditure while GLP-3s (retatrutide) increase it. • Many GLP-1 users are losing muscle mass instead of fat without realizing it. • The ghrelin rebound after stopping a GLP-1 drives appetite higher than before while metabolism stays slower. • A fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C alone are not enough to understand your metabolic health. • A two-hour glucose tolerance test with an insulin curve reveals insulin resistance most doctors completely miss. • The 5-day fasting mimicking diet resets ghrelin, taste buds, gut biome, and leptin sensitivity without destroying muscle. • You can boost your body's own natural GLP-1 production through the right probiotics and bitter receptor activation. • Weight gain is not always an appetite problem. Thyroid dysfunction, declining sex hormones, and missing micronutrients can all be the real driver. • Sex hormone optimization during perimenopause and andropause is critical for maintaining body composition. • Willpower never wins long term. Systems and environment design are what create durable results.    Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Welcome with Autumn 00:44 What Is a Peptide and How Peptides Work in the Body 03:07 BPC-157 and the Pharma Model vs. Peptide Signaling 05:00 You Can't Out-Peptide Bad Habits 06:31 What Is a GLP-1 and How It Affects Your Brain and Gut 08:57 GLP-1s Were Designed for Diabetics Not Weight Loss 09:40 GLP-2 Tirzepatide and GLP-3 Retatrutide Explained 11:00 Why Retatrutide Increases Energy Expenditure While GLP-1s Decrease It 12:00 The Muscle Mass Crisis on GLP-1s 14:06 The Patient Who Lost 20 Pounds of Pure Muscle 15:00 Protecting Muscle with Perfect Aminos and Creatine 17:00 Autumn's Personal Supplement Stack for Training 19:00 Food Noise Ghrelin and the Appetite Rebound 21:18 The 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet as a Metabolic Reset 23:00 Building Your Own Natural GLP-1 Production 25:00 The Glucose Tolerance Test Most Doctors Never Run 28:30 Risks of GLP-1s Pancreatitis Thyroid Tumors and Unsupervised Use 29:50 Microdosing GLP-1s in Perimenopause 30:30 Calocurb the Natural Appetite Suppressant from Hops 32:00 Sex Hormone Optimization for Body Composition 35:00 Resting Metabolic Rate Testing and Hidden Thyroid Dysfunction 38:00 Autumn's Hormone Health Program and Real Results 39:30 Willpower vs Systems and Architecting Your Environment 41:30 Bio-Individuality and Why Someone Else's Plan Won't Work for You 43:00 The Power of Diagnostics and Understanding Your Genetics  To learn more about Autumn: Instagram: @autumncalabrese Reach out to us at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Gladdenlongevity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gladdenlongevity/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gladdenlongevity YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_q8nexY4K5ilgFnKm7naw   Gladden Longevity Podcast Disclosures Production & Independence The Gladden Longevity Podcast and Age Hackers are produced by Gladden Longevity Podcast, which operates independently from Dr. Jeffrey Gladden's clinical practice and research at Gladden Longevity in Irving, Texas.

Why does change feel so hard—especially for military spouses? If you've ever told yourself you just need more willpower, motivation, or discipline, this episode challenges that belief. In this episode of More Than a Milspouse, we unpack why habit change often fails in military life and why stress, PCS moves, deployments, and constant unpredictability make traditional approaches to change ineffective. You'll learn the three biggest myths about change, why willpower and motivation don't work long-term, and how shame keeps military spouses stuck in cycles of starting over. We'll also introduce a more compassionate, sustainable approach to habit change—one that works with real military life, not against it.

Send a textWhat if the very thing you were told would “ruin” your health was actually the moment everything clicked?In this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Allyson Hurley, a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and longtime probation officer, to unpack how mindset—not restriction—is the true driver of lasting health change. Allyson shares the now-famous “cheesecake moment” that forced her to confront years of rigid food rules, marathon overtraining, and chasing outcomes instead of behaviors.Together, they explore why weight loss is often the wrong target, how diet culture quietly shapes identity and self-talk, and why motivation isn't something you either have or don't—it's something you design through systems and environment. Allyson also draws compelling parallels between probation work and health coaching, revealing how motivational interviewing and behavior change science apply to both personal freedom and physical wellbeing.This episode challenges black-and-white thinking around food, fitness, and self-worth—and replaces it with a sustainable, compassionate approach to building healthier habits for life.If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of restriction, frustration, and “starting over,” this conversation will change how you think about progress.

We've been told our whole lives that the key to success is discipline. Willpower. Grinding through the hard days. But what if that's only half the story?In this episode, we explore the one thing that separates the highest performers in any field from everyone else and it's not how much they suffer. It's that they've found a way to genuinely enjoy, even crave, the very things most people need to force themselves to do.From the science of habit formation to the identity shift that changes everything, this episode gives you a clear roadmap for getting from the grind to the craving and why that journey is the real competitive advantage."The most successful people aren't the ones who suffer the most. They're the ones who found joy in the things most people are still forcing themselves to do."Questions to ask yourself after the episode:1. What's one thing in your life that you currently rely on willpower to do and that you wish you just naturally craved?2. Where are you right now in the three stages? Still grinding, running on autopilot, or have you hit the craving?3. What would change in your life if that hard thing became the part of your day you looked forward to most?Lots of love,K-SkyLet's Connect!! ⬇️Connect with K-Sky on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kskydonner⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with K-Sky on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@coachksky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with K-Sky on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@kskydonner

Are you constantly trying to control your sexual urges by building stronger fences, adding more rules, or relying on willpower? If so, you might be stuck in the exhausting cycle of resisting, giving in, and starting over. In this episode, I'm revisiting a powerful metaphor that will completely change how you think about your sexuality and what it actually means to be in control of it. Instead of treating your sexuality like something dangerous that has to be locked away, I invite you to imagine it differently. What if the goal isn't to cage it, silence it, or fight it, but to learn how to tame it? I walk you through a new way of understanding control that isn't about fear or force, but about building trust, leadership, and a healthy relationship with your own sexual energy.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://centerforovercoming.com/post/new-way-control-sexual-urgesClick here to sign up for my free masterclass, How to Overcome Pornography without using Willpower: https://sarabrewer.com/masterclassMentioned in this episode:FREE TRAINING: How to Finally Be Free from Porn in 2026How to Finally Be Free from Porn in 2026 — Without Willpower or Shame A shame-free, sex-positive methodology designed to help you overcome pornography for good in 2026.

In this episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore invites listeners to take a deeply-needed exhale from the relentless messages around body image and self-worth that the world sends our way. Building on the "Waiting for Weight Loss" series, Heather opens up about her own struggles with feeling valuable through fitness and body changes, and the letdown that follows when external goals don’t bring the internal peace we’re promised. Heather dives into the concept of "monetized insecurity"—the way industries profit from our feelings of inadequacy—and breaks down why finding your worth in God, not in weight loss or body perfection, is the only path that leads to real security and rest. You’ll walk away with: Practical breathwork exercises for grounding and relaxation A guided prayer for internalizing your true value An honest look at cultural lies vs. God’s unchanging truth about your worth Reflective questions to revisit whenever you need a reminder that you are already loved, worthy, and enough Key Question: Whose message is easier for you to believe: monetized insecurity or God's message of worth beyond what you measure?

What if your weight loss resistance in your 40s isn't about willpower, but a powerful hormone shift that changes your metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and fat storage? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi welcomes back hormone expert Karen Martel to unpack why weight loss resistance is often a biological signal, not a motivation problem. Karen explains how hormone disruption from environmental xenoestrogens can create estrogen dominant symptoms in younger women, even when bloodwork appears normal. The conversation then shifts into perimenopause and menopause, where the real metabolic shift begins. As estradiol declines, women often experience increased belly fat, worsening cholesterol, rising blood sugar, poor sleep, mood changes, and accelerated aging of skin and muscle. Karen breaks down the critical difference between estrogen and estradiol, why metabolic health often declines after ovarian function changes, and why many traditional weight loss strategies stop working during this phase. You'll also learn how environmental toxins impact hormone receptors, why hormone metabolite testing like the DUTCH test can provide deeper insight, and how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may support long-term metabolic and overall health when used appropriately. If you or someone you love is entering their 40s and struggling despite healthy habits, this episode highlights a major missing piece.   Key Topics Covered Why weight loss resistance is often hormonal rather than a willpower issue How hormone patterns differ between fertile years, perimenopause, and menopause What xenoestrogens are and how they mimic estrogen in the body Common sources of hormone disruptors: plastics, fragrances, pesticides, cleaning products, and receipts Why bloodwork may look normal while symptoms of estrogen dominance still exist Daily detox strategies to support hormone balance, including minerals and sauna use How hormone dynamics shift in the 40s as estradiol begins to decline The difference between estrogen and estradiol and their impact on metabolism Why fasting harder and eating less can backfire during perimenopause How estradiol loss affects insulin sensitivity, visceral fat, cholesterol, mood, libido, and collagen The Women's Health Initiative misconception and the role of synthetic progestins How urine hormone metabolite testing (DUTCH) helps personalize hormone support Why individualized care is essential when considering hormone replacement therapy Karen's personal experience with rapid menopause symptoms and recovery The role of gratitude and mindset in long-term health and resilience   Resources & Links Mentioned Karen MartelWebsite: https://karenmartel.comPodcast: The Hormone Solution Podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@karenmartelhormones/videos Special OfferCoupon code: FREEDOMDiscount: 15% off at https://karenmartel.com   Follow Ben Azadi

Why do urges seem to disappear, only to come right back? If you've ever processed an urge and then felt discouraged when it returned, this episode will help you understand what's really happening. I'm talking about urge flow, the natural pattern of urges coming and going, and why this is not a sign that you're doing it wrong. It is part of learning how to handle them in a new way. When you stop relying on willpower and start allowing urges instead of resisting them, they will ebb and flow. The goal is not to make them vanish. The goal is to become someone who can feel discomfort without reacting to it. In this episode, I share why trying to force urges away keeps you stuck and how building the skill of processing them creates real strength and confidence.

Episode Description:This archival conversation with Ramit Sethi is a masterclass in systems thinking, behavioral psychology, and building a “rich life” on your own terms.Long before online courses were mainstream, Ramit was quietly building scalable systems—automating money, testing business ideas rigorously, and rejecting conventional wisdom around careers, housing, and passion. In this conversation, he explains why most advice fails, why willpower is overrated, and how to engineer results instead of hoping for inspiration.They cover negotiation psychology, competence triggers, breaking into dream jobs without HR, why buying a house isn't always the best investment, and how to build a real online business—from research to first sale.This episode still holds up because it's not about hacks. It's about structure. Systems. Leverage. And testing instead of guessing.What You'll Learn:Why analyzing your own behavior (even on video) is one of the fastest ways to improveThe concept of “competence triggers” and how to use them in interviews and negotiationsWhy most financial advice (like skipping lattes) focuses on the wrong problemsHow to negotiate salary without anchoring yourself to your current payThe step-by-step system for building an online business—from research to first saleTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] Human Behavior, Willpower & Cognitive Misers[00:03:00] Ramit's Origin Story: Scholarships, Interviews & Self-Analysis[00:06:00] The Power of Videotaping Yourself[00:08:00] Losing Money & Discovering Personal Finance Psychology[00:09:00] Why Latte Advice Doesn't Work[00:11:00] Automating Money & Designing a Rich Life[00:14:00] The Housing Myth & Financial “Great Lies”[00:18:00] How to Land a Dream Job (Without HR)[00:20:00] Negotiation Tactics & Avoiding Salary Anchors[00:28:00] Competence Triggers & Social Signaling[00:34:00] Why Courses Beat Books (For Results)[00:38:00] Zero to Launch: Why Most Passive Income Advice Is Wrong[00:41:00] Research Before Building: Finding Profitable Ideas[00:44:00] Writing Headlines That Sell[00:49:00] Traffic Strategy: Guest Posting & Email Lists[00:52:00] Case Study: Turning Tutoring into $200KAdditional Resources:Ramit Sethi's WebsiteI Will Teach You to Be Rich - The BookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
