The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS Chronic Stress Is Holding You Back From Health & Weight LossChronic Stress is Making You Fat As a society, we're more stressed than we've ever been. We're also more out of shape, overweight, obese, and unhealthy than we've ever been. Stress isn't the ONLY reason we're struggling but it's a HUGE contributing factor that we don't give enough time, thought, or work to. Stress is not just when you feel overwhelmed or pulled in too many directions, stress is a physiological response in your body to TONS of things. Acute stress, like running from a tiger in the jungle, has kept us alive, but chronic stress is slowly killing us. We were...

The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS Good Fats, Bad Fats & Keto | No Nonsense NutritionBut won't fat make me fat? No. 😏 No it won't, we can put that myth to bed right? Fat is an ESSENTIAL part of your diet, you cannot be healthy without adequate fat. Fat is necessary to absorb certain vitamins like A, D, E, & K, to reduce inflammation, regulate your immune system and synthesize hormones . Every single cell in your body has a layer of fat around it and your entire nervous system is sheathed in a layer of fat. Fat is important!

We need to also spend some time talking about the Healthy Body side of the equation. So for the next few weeks we're going to focus on food because truly, they both work together.

Chronic stress contributes to heart disease, insomnia, poor immune function, inability to lose weight, skin issues, anxiety, low energy, poor recovery, etc. etc. It's obvious that managing your chronic stress is a BIG DEAL!

In general, I'm not a fan of New Years Resolutions, in large part because about 91% of people have given up on them before January is even over. I AM however in favor of self-reflection, goal setting, and thinking BIG at the turn of the year. I want this year to b...

The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS Getting Back on Track After a Binge or OvereatDon't make this bigger than it is . . . In ANY journey there's ups and downs, leaps forward and setbacks. Why would we think a journey to overcome emotional/binge eating overeating would be any different? Messing up is totally normal and you should EXPECT it to happen! The real problem is that when we "mess up" we go down the shame and guilt spiral, we decide it's never going to change, we'll always struggle, nothing will ever work, I'm a horrible person, etc. etc. We get stuck in the "failure" and can't move forward from it. The trick to overcoming setbacks is to...

Did you know the average American gains 8 lbs over the holidays? The "holidays" are only 2 months! And the vast majority don't lose it. This does NOT have to be you! The holiday season seems to take all our normal stressors and amplify them. All the difficult emotions and situations that we emotionally eat because of now, seem bigger during this holiday season. Finances, relationships, loss, our weight, our health, and add to that all the expectations we put on ourselves and that others put on us! Then put an ever-ready supply of "not so healthy" food cho...

The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS Am I Healthy? 7 Markers of Health that are NOT your WeightIt's NOT about your weight We talk a lot in this podcast about HEALTH being your goal instead of just weight loss being your goal. I am firmly in the camp that if you focus on increasing your health, weight loss will be a great side effect of that if your body needs to lose weight. ONLY focusing on losing weight all the time does not necessarily make you healthy. I could point to a lot of people who look very thin on the outside but inside are not very healthy. I could also point to a lot of women who...

But all too often we let those problems define us. We decide what we are or are not capable of, based on those problems. Our identity gets wrapped up in it and we get stuck there. Your problem could be a situation, an illness, a trauma, a relationship, a difficulty of any kind. For many years after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder I let that disorder define me. I saw myself as broken. I BECAME my problem. I allowed that disorder to define who I was, and define...

Some people do perfectly fine drinking coffee, BUT some people DO NOT. My intention here is share with you some ways in which coffee and caffeine COULD be interfering with your health, how to tell, and what to do about it.

You grab that snack, plop down on the couch, turn on the TV and zone out. The one snack turns into more, and more until it's starts to feel like a binge. WHY do you keep doing this? And even more important HOW do you stop? The truth is, your late night snacking and bingeing is a result of all of your de...

The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS Balancing Your Hormones with Seed CyclingIs this for real? Like seriously, can eating seeds help me not have PMS? Well according to tens of thousands of women who've tried it, and their naturopath doctors who recommend it, YES! Using seeds in the diet to balance hormones is a practice that's been around for hundreds of years. More recently the "seed cycling" protocol seems to trace back to a naturopath doctor circa 2012. It's been in practice to help things like PMS, PCOS, and infertility long before it was trending on Instagram. Personally, I've used seed cycling on and off for the last 7 or 8 years and I do fee...

We don't want to really consider the idea that we have a problem with emotional eating because we have a BELIEF that dealing with emotional eating is going to take more work than counting points or going keto. But the truth is that's TOTALLY backwards thinking! Dealing with our eating behaviors and the emotions and thoughts that underlie them will not only transform our weight and our healt...

When we think of "trauma" we usually think of what's called "Big T Trauma" things like war, violence, sexual abuse, accidents and tragedies. But far more common and often unacknowledged but potentially just as emotionally damaging are "Little t trauma's"; things like divorce (yours or your parents) bullying, job loss, or illness. No matter the type of trauma, or how long it lasted, it all has the potential to cause us great suffering and post traumatic stress. And that stress may be showing up in your life in ways you aren't recognizing as being rela...

The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS Are You In A Relationship With A Narcissist?Newsflash! Your idea of a narcissist is probably not broad enough! Most of us, when we think of a narcissist, we think of a MAN who is full of himself, overbearing, controlling, manipulative and generally behaves like an a-hole to his wife or romantic partner. Or one of those "Wolf of Wall Street" types with no significant relationships and an obsession with money, status, and outward appearance. And you'd be right, but you'd also be missing a whole lot of people! Narcissists can be men, women, husbands, moms, friends, bosses, co-workers, literally anyone that you might have any kind of relat...

Difficult people come in many forms, sometimes they're difficult all the time, sometimes they're just difficult at certain times or certain conversations.

Reportedly 86% of women have a poor body image. Based on personal and professional experience, and including adolescent and teen girls, I would say that number is a lot higher. We could talk for days about the origins of our collective self-hate and probably should, but I think it's more productive right now to have a conversation about what to do about it. Your body image is comprised of 4 parts: Perception: how YOU perceive your body (not how it actually looks to others) Emotion: how you feel about your body Cognition: your thoughts and be...

But then when we actually attempt itwe get super frustrated, we don't know HOW to listen to our body, and it becomes just one more thing we feel like a failure at.

A lot of us struggle to stay on track with our health, fitness, and wellness goals in the summertime in large part because the routines that kept us on track the rest of the year don't work (or don't exist!) in the summertime.

Remember, all emotions are the result of a thought. But we also really need to spend some time talking about the power of those emotions over our actions. We do a lot of things to avoid negative emotion: we eat, drink alcohol, watch tv, scroll social media etc, all in an effort to BUFFER those feelings we don't want to feel. Not only do we avoid feeling those negative emotions, but we then go further and avoi...

Success in literally ANYTHING requires consistent activity over time. Consistency is made easy and doable by having systems, routines, and habits. One of my FAVORITE systems to teach is the 24 Hour Food Plan, because it's SUPER simple but also incredibly powerful. It's exactly what it sounds like - in the morning you're pre-planning your food for the day. Except unlike diets you've tried, you're putting on your plan exactly the things you actually want, not the food you think you SHOULD eat. You're not not weighing or measuring or writing down amounts - you're simply...

What does she know that you don't? Or maybe you start thinking: "she's successful because she doesn't have to deal with the same (stressors, issues, body, health, genetics, etc.) as me." The truth is, she probably DOES know some things you don't! 😂 But the reality is that she also deals with stressors and issues of her own...

The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS Should I Try Intermittent Fasting?How do I know if it's right for me? Intermittent fasting seems particularly confusing because there's so many contradicting claims.

On the other hand, there's also solid science that shows fasting can negatively impact women's hormones, metabolism, and weight loss. So who's right? I think the confusion is largely because of two reasons: 1. There are a lot of types of fasting! The results of a study of one type of fasting don't necessarily translate to another type of fast...
