Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/03/22

Self-care helps you lose weight! In the physical sense, taking compassionate care of your body and nourishing it with healthy food will help you lose weight. But keeping some time for yourself and taking breaks can lend a hand as well since it helps to reduce cortisol levels which are associated with weight gain. Dr. Ngozi Ude, a family and aesthetics doctor, is here today as a wonderful guest to tell us how self-care can be our super power, and how to make it happen when you have a big

59. Why I hate smoothies for weight loss

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/03/02

Many people think smoothies are A WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT. I just don't believe this is true. It's really easy to overeat with smoothies, it's really hard to tell when you've had enough with a smoothie, and it's practically impossible to tell when you should adjust the amount of your smoothie. I think that putting food in your mouth, tasting it's deliciousness, and stopping when you're satisfied is still the best way. I discuss all this and more on the podcast today.

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/01/30

Does the layout of your house or apartment work against your weight loss journey? I noticed that the house I used to live in dumped you right into Eating Central, which made eating all the time an easy habit to pick up. How can you disrupt these habits by doing something against your home design, and other great easy habit disrupters that keep you losing weight more easily. This is what we look at on the podcast today.

55. 3 things I learned wearing a Continuous Glucose...

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/01/11

These is what I learned: 1) Food order matters--this happens with most human bodies, and it did with mine as well. 2) Refined sugar and bread were the same to my body. We're talking a high blood sugar spike! 3) Hiding dessert works--I was able to have a small dessert right at the end of the meal with no change in blood sugar from the same meal without that little dessert. Hope you enjoy hearing about my experience and my advice for you afterwards!

I was thrilled to have Dr. Megan Melo, MD a fellow family doctor on the show today.

How does it show up at work, and can you see it in your work? We discuss how there is about 20% of your work that needs to be at your highest level, and 80% can be done at a much lower standard. However, many professional women flip these

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/12/21

One of the characteristics of a wonderful Family Doctor is that they meet you where you are. I'm thrilled to have Dr. Catherine Toomer, a fellow family physician to talk about weight loss medications. We get into how they affect digestive hormones, and when they might be helpful for you. Did you know you may be eligible to use them even if you don't have diabetes? We don't talk about every kind of medicine, but focus on the GLP-1 medicines that most doctors are prescribing these days. Hope

52. Food Pushers

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/12/14

We have these people in our lives. They guilt us about food, they shame us into eating a pastry at the morning meeting. And of course, we don't want to be the difficult food person at the event. Today I give you some ways to think about this, and some ideas to get around these people. Cheers!

51. Change of season eating

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/12/07

Up north here, the weather quickly turns cold, so what we feel like eating changes drastically as well. Put away that chicken salad--I want roasted cauliflower in a warm curry sauce now. Does this change of eating impact your weight loss journey? Today in the podcast I talk about how to adjust so your new eating style can still work for you.

50. Can you accept a compliment?

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/11/30

How can accepting a compliment help you lose weight? Do you deflect compliments? I got the idea for this podcast from the book The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks. How can allowing the positive energy of a compliment to land on you can expand your natural good feelings, which can help you stay away from the quick fix of a sugary snack. And can you accept a compliment and still be humble? Go on this journey with me on the podcast today.

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/11/09

When you travel internationally, there are different types of days to consider as you plan your eating. There's the day you transport your body from one place to another, then there are all the trip days, then transporting your body back home again. The time changes definitely mess with you hormones, like any sleep disturbance can, so I give some tips on today's episode on how to not let an international trip derail your weight loss journey.

Dear friend, I'm a doctor, and I'm willing to tell you what foods you should avoid. Inflammatory foods cause many diseases, and also give you achy joints and hurt your general mental health. Of course, they work against weight loss as well. I talk about four categories to avoid in today's podcast.

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2022/10/21

Do you work on your relationship with yourself? Professional women think a lot about relationships with co-workers, partners and spouses, children, friends, but sometimes we forget that our relationship with ourselves is important too! Some of my clients have found that building a better, more trusting relationship with themselves was the KEY INGREDIENT to making their weight loss journey easier.
