2023/08/30

There are countless weight loss programs out thereat every possible price point for womento choose from. It can be tough trying to find the right program, and what I often hear about issomeone will try a couple of the cheaper options without any success, and they'll turn to a higher ticket price option with the hope that the higher price will lead to better results. So if you are in the situation where you're about to invest in a highticket price option, how can you know that you're

2023/08/25

As a parent, doctor, and weight loss coach to other parents, I know that it often feels like there's no easy way to interact with our teens.

80. Vacation Weight Gain

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/08/16

We're in mid-August now, which means most summer vacations are coming to an end, so I thought it would be a good time to talk about something that I know a lot of us can relate to: vacation weight gain. When we're on vacation, we tend to eat and drink more, and our routines go out the window to a large degree. With this in mind, it only makes sense that we might gain a few pounds. As we get back into our normal lives, however, I know that the vacation weight can feel like extra mental

2023/08/09

Remember Debbie Downer, the old SNL character who had a real pessimistic view of things? Well, after my last couple of podcast episodes where I talked about how the preserved meats on charcuterie boards are bad, and how protein shakes aren't good either, I've been feeling like a Debbie Downer.

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/07/12

"Breakfast like a Queen, lunch like a princess, and dinner like a pauper." This is widely regarded as a healthy way to eat, and a way to eat that will help you along your weight loss journey. And I'm not going to argue with it! Studies have shown that eating a big breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and a smaller dinner is an effective way to both maintain and lose weight.

Do you ever worry about being hungry? Our primitive brain gets REALLY SCARED, like we may starve. But we know in modern times that a professional women isn't likely to actually starve. However, that's where the fear comes from. Maybe we just don't want to be hungry, and that's okay--we can make a plan for what to eat if we do get hungry, but then only eat IF we get hungry.
