40. Bored eating

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/08/31

Bored eating may sometimes be just that, but I truly believe it's a form of emotional eating. Our brains can be sneaky--it may be offering you the thought "I'm bored" when there's an uncomfortable emotion or task that it wants you to avoid. Remember our brains are designed to keep us safe, but we don't need to be safe from our emotions. And our brain doesn't like us to step out of our comfort zone, but you might like to go there. I discuss all this on the podcast today.

39. Lagom for Weight Loss

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/08/24

Lagom is a swedish word that means "not too little, and not too much." While people may use it to think about balance in their lives, it's a concept that is perfect for your weight loss journey. Lagom at each meal will serve you well for weight loss and then weight maintenance.

38. Be the Change

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/08/17

We have this eat all day, overeat culture that we live in, and it doesn't serve us. It's bad for our health, and it makes weight loss difficult. It saps the good taste of our food as we just continually put food on our taste buds. What can each of us do to change this culture? I'll tell you a few stories about my clients and let's see what ideas it brings up for you.

You may have been avoiding starchy food on your weight loss journey, but starches aren't created equal. I'll talk today about some resistant starches that don't cause insulin to spike, and about how you can convert everyday foods such as rice, pasta, and potatoes, into resistant starches.

35. Naked Carbs

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/07/27

Naked Carbs are the buzz of the internet this summer. Naked carbs are when you eat the bread alone, or a piece of cake for a snack. Why should you avoid naked carbs while on your weight loss journey? I talk about this today.

10:30

34. Does Food Order Matter?

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/07/20

As we optimize our hormones for weight loss, it turns out that the order in which we eat our food actually matters. Is it good to eat out of the bread basket they bring at the restaurant before all the other food? It turns out that the timing of when you eat the starch part of your meal makes a large difference in your digestive hormones and can affect how much food you store as fat.

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

31. Joyful Weight Loss for Summer

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/05/25

30. Intermittent Fasting Is Not Dead

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/05/18

Did you catch the headlines? A New England Journal study came out looking at eating windows and calorie restricted diets. The group that ate all day lost the same amount of weight that the group who ate their restricted calories in an eating window lost, so the media decided intermittent fasting is dead. I have to completely disagree. I'll show you how they asked the wrong question that led to this very unhelpful answer. And I'll talk about how to lose weight even better.

29. Can Small Amounts of Olive Oil Keep Death Away?

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/05/11

This 2022 article from the American College of Cardiology has some surprising results! Yes, we know olive oil is good for our heart health, but how about our brains? How about our lungs? I'll explain what the research found, what it means for our good health, and how olive oil helps you with weight loss.

28. An Unstoppable Mindset

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/05/04

Author and coach Tony Robbins says that strategy is 20% of any journey, and the story you tell yourself in your mind is 80%. We have these stories about ourselves running on a loop in our brains 24/7. They speak to us in the waking hours and then send us dreams. I believe this is true of the journey to permanent weight loss, as well. On the podcast today, I show you how mindset can change everything.

18:04

27. Can I lose weight eating "MAN FOOD?"

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/04/27

Someone in my program, who eats a Mediterranean style of eating, told me that her husband doesn't want to eat that. He wants to eat MAN FOOD. Nevermind that all the genders are eating Mediterranean style near the Mediterranean and many other places. Anyway, it was a funny way to describe eating heavier foods, like meat and potatoes. If you know me, I always say yes to whatever food you like, so I talk about HOW to lose weight eating heavier foods with both food and mindset strategies
