Episode 232: Why THAT NUMBER Keeps Us Captive

2025/06/11

THAT NUMBER… the one you obsess over… the one you’ve decided your body “should” weigh… That number is the thing that distracts you from focusing on HEALTH goals, holds you back from participating more fully and more actively in life AND keeps you half crazy in the head a lot of the time! Listen to this episode and learn if YOU are THAT PERSON who keeps some arbitrary number the thing you focus on in your weight loss journey as opposed to all of the awesome ways your health has improved and al...

Episode 231: A Healthy Weight for YOU

2025/06/04

Most people begin a weight loss journey to improve their health or to ward off possible health conditions, to increase their ability to participate in activities they enjoy, and to increase their odds of living longer to be with the ones they love. However, at some point, a pesky little NUMBER interferes with their health goals and they become focused on a specific number that becomes a goal… Health is not about a number.

Episode 228: That Thief of Joy…Comparison

2025/05/14

Theodore Roosevelt called comparison the theif of joy. And all along I thought it was the SCALE that was the theif of joy! Well… I guess it’s all in how you utilize either comparison or the scale that determines whether or not you allow it to steal your joy. Yes – pay attention to those words… whether or not you ALLOW ANYTHING to steal your joy is up to you! It’s that thinking thing again… what we choose to think about is so powerful. But in THIS episode I am talking specifically about compar...

We’ve all said it a thousand times when it comes to following through with difficult things and/or things we don’t really want to do… We’ve said what? We’ve said, “That’s easier said than done!” And it’s true in nearly every case… because most things in life are genuinely easier to say than they are to do! Working in the field of weight weight loss, I hear the phrase, “It’s easier said than done” pretty much on a daily basis. In this episode, we’ll look at the importance of realizing when we’...

Every single one of us is guilty of using some pretty common forms of Stinkin’ Thinkin’ at times. Psychologists use fancier word to describe Stinkin’ Thinkin’… we call them Cognitive Distortions. Thinking Traps are also words to describe negative thoughts because they often leave us feeling TRAPPED on a hamster wheel of negative thoughts that spin out and result in negative feelings and ultimately result in unhealthy behaviors. I had a patient say it much more clearly… she told me, “Negative ...

Did you know that we recyle something like 90% of our thoughts over and over, day after day AND that about 85% of those recycling thoughts are NEGATIVE thoughts? That’s what some research says! And I happen to believe that… even if we’re not aware of all those automatic negative thoughts on the hamster wheel of our mind. We need to change this to make room for and to create new, healthier neuropathways that keep us engaged in a non-stop loop of more neutral and positive thoughts! You’ve heard...

2025/04/09

Now, THAT’s a vague episode title! And it’s vague on purpose! None of us want to admit to … well, our less than healthy behaviors. Yet the truth is, we all engage in behaviors we would be mortified if others were to witness. The topic of this episode describes a type of behavior and mindset I would bet every one of us has engaged in at some points in time. For a percentage of people, this becomes a way of life. Others can see it clearly, but the one entrenched in this is usually oblivious… be...

There are all sorts of ways people choose to lose weight… surgical weight loss procedures, GLP 1’s, Weight Watchers, Noom, and all sorts of various diets such as the Mediteranian Diet, the KETO diet, or tragically, some version of the cabbage soup diet. Here’s the deal… no matter how a person loses weight, they all experience many of the same things after losing weight… and I’m NOT just talking about physical changes. Yes, clearly there are physical changes but there are also dietary changes,...

Food… a red herring? As in… a fish? Nope! So what does that mean… food… a red herring? You think I’m gonna tell you here, in the intro? Not a chance! But when you listen to the entire episode, you’ll learn why Dr. Anita A. Johnson, author of Eating in The Light of The Moon, wrote an entire chapter on this topic. Also, as you listen to this episode, based almost entirely on that one chapter in Dr. Johnson’s book, I hope you will make the decision to join me for a Book Review about ...
