264-Health Goal versus Weight Loss Goal

Dec 3, 2020 | Mindset Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

Health Goal versus Weight Loss Goal

The end of a year in our current culture serves as a point of reflection: what went well, what didn’t go so well, for me what I’ve learned….what we accomplished and then we also use this time to set ourselves goals, objective, intention for the new year. This process of reflection and intention setting is a very powerful process for us and should be done.

Dec 1 is typically the date when the real hardcore holiday marketing frenzy takes over mass media, and right now, we’re about to be hit by New year’s resolutions, new year’s diets… lose the COVID 19…

Our bodies and our health will not be spared in the process.

We will be hard press to set weight loss goals, just like every year. Some messages will be direct: weight loss directly while others will be about our health with an undertone of “ If you focus on your health, you will lose the unhealthy weight”…

I call this the politically correct way to focus on weight loss.

Maybe it’s the narrative in your own mind… you don’t need marketing to get yourself to think about setting “body” goals for 2021.

This podcast intends to explore both sides of the coin to make an educated decision for yourself.

Although published in December, this podcast is relevant all year. Now, because a great proportion of us use the new year period to reflect on the past and future, I thought this might help many of you think thru your “body” goals for 2021.

Let’s do this!

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on health goal versus weight loss goal:

How to define health sustainably
Why we desire to lose weight
What it means to chase health

Non-Diet Business Mindset

The Non-Diet Business Mindset discourse is vastly different from the traditional business mindset discourse you might have heard.

Why?

Simply because the same system of oppression that is in place to keep women stuck in diet culture is present in the business world.

One of our guest expert teachers, Dr. Michelle Mazur is Ph.D. in sales psychology as an expert coined the term “Bro Marketing” to describe this phenomenon.

This episode gets very heated… there are 3 solid rants that may trigger you. I want you to remember that triggers are only a sign for us to look deeper and see where we can upgrade and grow.

The Motivation Secret

263-Healing Our Relationship to Exercise with Kim Hagle

Nov 26, 2020 | Lifestyle Podcast Episode, Mindset Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

My journey with exercise has been chaotic for most of my life.

From childhood “mandatory” sports to not being picked for team sports in junior high school because I was “too big”.

And as an adult, being shamed into overdoing exercise by the diet gurus as the way to “burn fat” quick and maintain weight loss.

With every wave of dieting came the sentence of “no pain no gain” excessive exercise patterns to the point of injury.

In fact, dieting really screwed up my relationship to exercise as much as it f*cked up my relationship to food.

Healing our Relationship to Exercise

I couldn’t understand how people could enjoy, let alone love exercising.

From the age of 12, my relationship to exercise has been about managing my body.

Exercise is something I had to do along with food restriction because my body was bad.

Exercise was punishment.

So how can you enjoy something that is designed to hurt you and make you pay for you being “bad” for not having the body you should have?

When I first entered the world of Health At Every Size and Intuitive Eating, the concept of Joyful Movement sent me straight into cognitive dissonance.

And then I quickly realized that as much work I needed to do to change how I perceived food and my food habits, I needed to do the same work with exercise.

Being intentional about healing my relationship to exercise

I had to make a conscious decision to heal my relationship to exercise.

I stopped waiting for prince charming to come and fix it all. If I were going to ever find joy in moving my body, I had to be intentional.

Diet culture might have f*cked how I see exercise but it was up to me to unf*ck it.

My first step was swapping the word Exercise with Movement. Seems too simple, but for me that was a game-changer. The word exercise was recalling very traumatic memories for me. The word movement was neutral.

With neutrality, I was able to accept possibilities. Possibilities that movement could be one that is joyful. That I could see me moving my body because I wanted to not because I had to.

Wanting to move my body versus I have to exercise. That was a thought I practiced for months. With time, it worked. I started to desire to go for a walk for just pure pleasure and how it made me feel.

I practice minimum baseline and then use movement as a way to build a relationship of trust and respect with myself.

Moreover, I use self-coaching to change my thoughts and beliefs about moving my body.

Today, I only move my body if it makes feels good and makes me feel happy. I walk. I practice yoga.

In this episode of the podcast, Kim Hagle, a mom of four and non-diet fitness expert, is going to help us heal our relationship to exercise.

Kim hosts The Joyful Movement Show podcast and through her signature program Right Body for Me, she helps women discover joyful movement and motivation that lasts so they can heal their relationship to exercise and feel confident in their own skin.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

How Kim went from being picked on by other kids to being a fitness professional
The difference between movement and exercise
Is the gym police a problem for you?
The 10 principles of Joyful Movement
How to find motivation without punishment or “no pain no gain”…

261-Intuitive Eating vs Mindful Eating

Nov 12, 2020 | Intuitive Eating Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

Intuitive Eating vs Mindful Eating

I often get asked what is the difference between mindful eating and intuitive eating.

While mindful eating teaches you to be present with your food experience, intuitive eating encompasses the whole relationship to food.

Both are different and similar at the same time. Both are excellent and should be incorporated into one’s life.

Based on your past experience with food, one might be better than the other. That’s what we will discuss in today’s episode.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

The similarities between mindful eating and intuitive eating
The difference between intuitive eating and mindful eating
Which approach would be best for you individually
And a story about mindful eating

260-Intuitive Eating and Type 1 Diabetes

Nov 6, 2020 | Health Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

Intuitive Eating and Type 1 Diabetes

Have you been told you shouldn’t be eating X or Y food for your health?

As a good responsible patient, you’ve been trying your best to do so.

But in secret, you obsess about the food that is “illegal” for you?

You resent the fact that you can’t have sugar as a diabetic. Sometimes end up even end up overeating that “illegal food”.

You struggle with “on plan” consistently. You may even feel guilty for not being “good enough” to control your urges.

Not your fault!

That one restricts foods for health reasons or for esthetic weight loss purpose, there is no difference to the human brain. Any form of restriction bears the same outcome: the desire to have what is forbidden.

Fear-based tactics to willpower yourself into “good complaint behaviors” do not lead to sustainable results. That’s what diets are even if they are considered health-based diets.

What’s the solution then?

not restricting…

I can hear you say “that wouldn’t work my numbers would be crazy and my doctor would hate me”.

Well… has restriction worked?

The stress imposed by health focus diets is real and damaging to one’s health as much as eating the forbidden food. In the case of diabetic cortisol, one of the stress hormones has the power to increase blood sugar as much as sugar does.

What if instead of restricting, labelling certain food as “bad,” feeling guilty, ashamed, you allowed all foods. Ate any food that made your body feel great and did it mindfully, slowly looking for satisfaction and noticing how your own body responds.

Claiming back your autonomy over your own body and food choices. Using your agency to make decisions about food from a place of love instead of fear.

Acknowledging your own power to do what’s right for you.

I know you can. I trust you.

Our guest today is Lindsay Sarson, a registered holistic nutritionist, professionally trained intuitive eating coach, host of the Intuitive Diabetic Podcast, and type 1 diabetic. Lindsay is focused on helping type 1 diabetics ditch the diets and restrictions so that they can find food freedom and thrive in their skin today.
