2023/07/31

What if I told you that quitting can also be a positive thing? It can actually be an empowering choice to let go of what no longer serves our purpose or aligns with our values. When it comes to dieting, quitting what isn’t working can be a positive step toward pursuing a healthier and more sustainable approach. It doesn't mean giving up on our health goals. It means letting go of harmful practices and adopting ones that truly honour our bodies. Don't miss out on this enlightening episode

Have you ever caught yourself saying “I know how to lose weight, I just can't keep it off or be consistent”? If you have tried many different diets, you have likely experienced short-term programs that you can't wait to stop, so you can go back to living. However, putting your life on hold for the diet, is setting you up to inevitably put the diet on hold or stop altogether, in order to live your life. As part of our 'Your Questions Answered' series, we delve into exactly how to keep the

What is the ideal human diet? In the ever-evolving landscape of weight loss and nutrition, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of an ideal human diet. We search for the perfect combination of foods, hoping to unlock the secret to weight loss. However, most of us already know the basics of nutrition and what is considered “healthy”. In our pursuit for weight loss, we may forget that our bodies are vessels that deserve love and care. True well-being encompasses our entire lifestyle as a

The Obesity Doctor Podcast ·

2023/07/03

Isn’t it interesting that we tend to be great at showing up for our work or social commitments, but not our own commitments to ourselves? Just like in relationships, constantly letting ourselves down will erode trust and confidence, hindering personal growth. Today's listener question hits close to home: "Why is it so hard to keep promises to yourself?" I explore the deep-rooted reasons behind this common struggle and share strategies to reclaim your integrity and self-trust. You'll

73. Stop Giving Away Your Power

2023/06/26

Stop giving away your power and personal ownership to weight loss programs (including mine!). “If I follow this program, then I'll get results” or “How is this program going to create weight loss for me?” And that's exactly what diet culture promotes. It tells you that if you follow a set of food rules perfectly, you will lose X amount of weight. The reality is, it does not feel good for any human being to have to live by someone else's externally imposed rules or value system. We will only

2023/06/19

While most of us understand the benefits of physical activity, the burnout culture by which we are surrounded often means we struggle to implement the habits we know will serve us well. This week’s special podcast guest, Dr. Tina McInnes, witnessed the severe impact of people not making health a priority when she worked as an Internist. Realizing that she was giving people a lot of medication for what was largely preventable disease, she began focusing her attention on the effects of

2023/06/12

For those who experience binging or compulsive eating, the accompanying feelings of shame, hopelessness, and a complete loss of control, are very familiar. Whether you suffer from binge eating disorder (BED) or behaviours associated with it, what is crucial is that we start to normalize how common this problem is. That’s why today, I am opening up about my own struggles with binge eating in the past, and reflecting on the pivotal moments that led me towards healing and freedom. Join me as I

The Obesity Doctor Podcast ·

2023/06/05

What I often hear from my clients struggling with sleep issues and insomnia, is that they've tried absolutely everything to no avail. Traditional sleep hygiene advice like cutting screen time is difficult to implement in reality, and leads them to believe they’re “just a bad sleeper”. This feeling of hopelessness acts as a real barrier to trying anything else or taking consistent action. But if we want to maintain a healthy weight and our overall well-being, quality sleep has to be

Your stomach’s growling so loudly, you can’t ignore it any longer. When you go to check your watch, it’s only 11am. “That’s way too early for lunch, how can I be so hungry right now?!”In a panic, you grab snack after snack to try and satisfy your hunger, only to end up overeating so much you don’t want your lunch when the time comes. Instead, you end up in a cycle of shame and guilt. It's no wonder so many of us have experienced this kind of hunger denial. We live in a culture which is set

2023/05/15

In any quest for a healthier lifestyle, whether it’s weight loss, wellness, rest, or self-care, you may feel a little lonely. The lack of understanding shown by family and friends is often what makes the process feel so isolating. You’re probably fed up with comments like “oh, you’re doing that again…” followed by an exaggerated eye roll, and are left feeling insecure and alone. Maybe you want to reconcile with the “food buddies” you always used to overeat and over-drink with, but are

Chrono-nutrition: when we eat. When we eat matters. Studies have found that consuming our calories later in the day, overeating in the evening, is associated with obesity and poor cardiometabolic health outcomes rooted in insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, etc).

2023/05/01

We have a misconception that we can achieve any goal weight we want. Set your target weight or BMI and then “diet harder” to get down to it, right?? The belief that we can manipulate our bodies to achieve certain numbers or metrics is misplaced at best, and extremely harmful at worst. On today’s episode, I speak with my friend and colleague Dr. Matthea Rentea all about this. We talk about letting go of target weights and our shared approach of coaching combined with medical care for our

Have you struggled with not following through on what you say you’ll do? If so, no judgment! You’re not alone. But over time, this lack of integrity degrades confidence and erodes happiness. I frame integrity in action as two things: 1) Doing what you say you’ll do 2) Living a life aligned with your core values How often do we set ourselves up to fail because we over-promise and over-commit to unrealistic ideals, only to fall short, feel like a failure, get discouraged and give up.

What’s the difference between confidence and self-confidence? I answer this question on today’s podcast, along with steps to build your self-confidence. Self-confidence will help you step out of your comfort zone, grow, take risks that move you forward, and be willing to fail on your way to success. Building self-confidence starts with self-awareness, that is knowing who you are and what is important to you at your core. The other steps are: Mastering your mindset Overcoming challenges

After decades of dieting, my amazing client Jen lost 145 lbs in the past 2.5 years. She’s a completely different person and loving her life. She did not have bariatric surgery.
