Why you may be gaining MORE weight after every diet

Published: March 6, 2023, 12:30 p.m.
Duration: 11 minutes 27 seconds

Why would mother nature make it easy for us to lose weight, so that we can just wither away??...

Elise

In this ep, we talk:

  • what the body loves more than homeostasis is having more fat cells for survival so it\'s natural for us to gain weight as we age
  • your metabolism can go into sleep mode when on a diet
  • anti-weight loss mechanisms kick in as a protective mechanism
  • it\\u2019s not your fault that you\\u2019ve gained weight, weight is something much more out of our control that we think

Another diet is not the answer.\\xa0What actually works based on my experience working with clients.

  • Is what you\'re doing enjoyable?
  • Is what you\\u2019re doing easy?
  • additive mindset vs restrictive mindset

But what if your doctor is telling you to lose weight... No one should be able to tell you what to do. You get to trust yourself. You know how to take care of yourself and your body. And if you don\\u2019t know how to do so in the best way possible, there are therapists and dietitians that can help.

Anything that is unconscious runs you w/ therapists Joanne @olivemecounseling and Melinda @inviterracounseling

Published: Feb. 27, 2023, 7:54 p.m.
Duration: 43 minutes

Today I have the absolute pleasure of chatting with Joanne Kim from Olive Me Counseling and Melinda Olsen from Inviterra Counseling. Joanne and Melinda are friends, colleagues, business partners and most importantly incredible therapists in the Silicon Valley who help their patients discover patterns of thinking, feeling, and doing that create painful and rigid \\u201cknots\\u201d in their life and relationships. If you\'ve ever felt "I\'m not good enough, what\'s wrong with me", then massaging out these stubborn, trauma based "knots" through brainspotting and enneagram work might be the right next step for you.

In this ep, we talk:

  • enneagrams and how it can help you understand your own motivations/fears
  • how being on auto-pilot may be keeping you stuck in your life
  • how to stop automatic behaviors that don\'t serve you
  • brainspotting - a way to bypass the intellectual/logical mind and get straight to the emotional/lizard mind to help with trauma processing

    If you don't TRUST yourself around food, how can you trust yourself to make big life decisions...

    Published: Jan. 9, 2023, noon
    Duration: 34 minutes 9 seconds

    TRUST is a forever work in progress - with yourself, with others, with food, with anything in life. If you can trust yourself with something small, you likely have the ability to trust yourself with bigger things.

    Today I have the absolute pleasure of welcoming Emily Feikls, host of the podcast I\'m Trying. Emily just took a BIG leap of faith. She quit her job and is living on her own in Houston as a content creator, entrepreneur, and podcast host. She is trying like all of us and has cultivated such a tremendous amount of trust in herself. Hopefully this episode will help you cultivate more confidence and trust in yourself, whether it\'s with food decisions or otherwise.

    In this episode, we get to hear:

    • Emily\'s struggles with food/body and mental health
    • doing the work of calming her nervous system
    • ways to stop intrusive thoughts
    • how to make huge life transitions and just GOING FOR IT
    • cultivating trust with herself around food AND big life decisions

    Is Intuitive Eating Right for YOU? (after years of dieting and bingeing)

    Published: Jan. 2, 2023, 6:33 p.m.
    Duration: 24 minutes 38 seconds

    Take the quiz - Is Intuitive Eating Right for YOU?

    One last diet? Or is it time to try something radically different?

    Why you\\u2019re here - perhaps years of dieting hasn\\u2019t worked and you\'re tired of having seasons of being on the bandwagon/disciplined and then seasons of going off the rails.

    Today\'s ep:

    • What is Intuitive Eating --> TLDR venn diagram between LOGIC x EMOTIONS x PHYSICAL CUES
    • We can\'t be 100% logical everyday forever because WE ARE NOT ROBOTS
    • Do you trust your hunger/fullness
    • Fear of losing control
    • Is food your answer to every emotion? What do you really need?
    • What beliefs do you hold about your body, where do they come from?\\xa0

    Remember, the most beautiful and appreciated among us are those who dared to be different and remain true to themselves. They pushed forward until the world recognized what they had to offer.

    If you\\u2019re ready to release the brainspace that dieting has controlled for so long, I encourage you to stay tuned and join along.

    Published: Dec. 19, 2022, 10:17 p.m.
    Duration: 33 minutes 29 seconds

    "Psychedelics can help us remember truths we\\u2019ve always known about ourselves."

    Jenny Weinar, LCSW

    Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Jenny Weinar, LCSW onto the podcast!

    Jenny is a Psychedelic Assisted Therapist providing ketamine assisted psychotherapy in Philadelphia as well as virtual psychedelic integration therapy in Pennsylvania, Colorado and New Jersey. She weaves Western mental health treatment with the sacredness of psychedelics to help people come home to themselves and remember the truth of who they are.

    Sometimes with psychedelics, you get a glimpse of universal love and that is fertile ground for healing."

    Is it possible to stop bingeing in 30 days

    Published: Dec. 30, 2021, 3 p.m.
    Duration: 8 minutes 22 seconds

    Short answer: yes

    The majority of my clients stop bingeing after 30 days.

    The fact is most people have a hard time finding food freedom because they feel alone in the process.

    Without support, it can feel like an uphill battle dealing with everyone in diet culture including yourself.

    Just because you\\u2019ve \\u201cfailed\\u201d at diets doesn\\u2019t mean you\\u2019ll fail at being a normal eater.

    Fall/winter blues have really been taking a toll, can you relate?

    Tips for when you\'re in the middle of a binge

    • Frequent reminders of \\u201cit\\u2019s ok\\u201d to prevent a guilt spiral
    • When you feel that it\\u2019s ok, it\\u2019s less all-consuming, which makes MOVING ON easier

    The next day, ask yourself

    • How did that serve you?
      • For me it felt comforting BUT I felt heavy/bloated after
    • How do you feel today?
      • Overall it didn\\u2019t serve me but it wasn\'t detrimental. I woke up today, felt fine, felt hungry at my normal times, and ate normally.\\xa0

    Isn't Intuitive Eating just where I eat EVERYTHING?

    Published: Oct. 12, 2021, 9:08 p.m.
    Duration: 10 minutes 45 seconds

    These are the nuances that get missed:

    1. Developing interoceptive awareness: Interoceptive signals include your signal to go pee or the murmurs of your heartbeat. Hunger and fullness are also interoceptive signals. Are you listening to these signals closely?\\xa0
    2. Developing more trust around food and getting rid of diet culture. Once you are able to distance yourself from the noise, it allows you space to listen to your own internal signals. That is your true north!
    3. Cultivating more body acceptance. We think that our bodies are 99% controllable however based on long term weight loss studies and the set point theory, weight is not as much in your control as you think.\\xa0
    4. Coping with emotions without food. There\\u2019s so much work to be done to detangle emotions (anxiety, stress, sadness) from food. How can you meet your needs without food?\\xa0

    Is Noom healthy?

    Published: Sept. 28, 2021, 5:24 p.m.
    Duration: 12 minutes 23 seconds

    Marketing is spot on!

    They do such a good job of emphasizing the psychology of eating. People love the coaching/reflection questions that are part of the app. HOWEVER...

    Food is categorized as red/orange/green

    The colors are based on calorie density however it does not always correlate with the nutrient density of food!

    Overall Takeaway

    Pros: Noom could potentially cultivate mindfulness

    Cons: Noom\'s colors could potentially warp one\'s perception of food and implies good/bad amongst foods.

    Trust your own instincts and not an app to guide you!
