I believe that each and every one of us is destined to live an abundant, full, rich and meaningful life, a life of influence and impact – where we leave the world a better place. And yet, this is the exception and not the norm. So many people live their life on autopilot. Following the status quo. Generally dissatisfied but not sure why. This doesn’t have to be you! In this week’s episode of the High on Life podcast, I talk about what it means to be great, to live a meaningful life, and how

2021/11/04

Have you ever wondered if it could be your hormones that are making weight loss so difficult? Have you ever thought – “It’s got to be my thyroid. I just don’t get it. I’m barely eating anything, I’ve exercising 5 days a week. It just doesn’t make any sense that I’m not losing weight.” (Only to have your doctor tell you your thyroid levels are normal) ? On today’s podcast, I break down exactly which hormones are involved in weight regulation and appetite within your body, and what that means

10. Your beliefs are stopping you from losing weight

The Obesity Doctor Podcast ·

2021/10/21

In today’s episode, I am inviting you to change your life by changing your beliefs about yourself. What most people don’t realize, is that when you aren’t doing something you should be doing (or want to be doing), when your actions aren’t there, and you’re not getting the results that you want, it’s because you have underlying thoughts that are derailing you. In very basic terms – you are talking yourself out of your own success. “I’m just not motivated.” “I get so discouraged when I don’t

FOPO, or fear of other people’s opinions, holds so many people back from being who they’re supposed to be and doing their work in the world. It’s normal for us to want people to like us and to want other people’s approval. But the very thing that was once helpful when we needed to stay with the pack to survive, can also be detrimental to us thriving and living our unique and authentic lives. Because when we’re worried about critique, rejection or disapproval, we play small. In this episode
