Feel Better. Live Free. | Healthy Weight Loss & Wellness for Midlife Women

Have you ever gone to the doctor and had them whip out their prescription pad after just a few minutes and then send you on your way? My guess is the answer is yes, because in this day and age of modern medicine, that's pretty much the normal protocol, right?  And it's kind of infuriating, especially when they hardly ask any questions, nor do they even give you a chance to question the d...

Have you ever had one of those near death moments that completely changed your perspective on life? Where your life flashes before your eyes or you suddenly just wake up and realize it's time to do something different. And I realize that it doesn't always happen like in the movies, right? But those wake up calls do happen. And sometimes. They change everything. And in today's episod...

There’s nothing more inspiring than hearing real people overcome real challenges to get the results they want–especially when those are the same results you’d like to see in your own life! That’s why in this episode we’re going deep with an amazing woman named Tiffany Thompson who’s actually been there, and who’s finally seeing massive success after struggling for so long—I can’t wait for you to h...

Do you ever wish you could travel back in time and give yourself a little advice? I do, especially when I think about how much time and energy I wasted doing all the wrong things, or about how many mistakes I made, and how much frustration I could have avoided, had I only known THEN what I know now. And while there's a part of me that understands that sometimes we just need to learn things th...

You are what you eat. It's one of those phrases we've all heard said a million times, and yet how often do we really think about what that actually means, especially when reaching for a bag of potato chips or that Ben & Jerry's hidden deep in your freezer? On a practical, day-to-day level, it can be hard to process the stark reality that the food we're consuming is directly...

Get more protein. It's a phrase we hear a lot, but not always one we're super good at following through on, even when we're trying to eat healthy. Because the reality is that the Standard American Diet most of us are used to eating is shockingly low in protein, and often even the foods we THINK are high in protein actually aren't. And that means that there's a very good ch...

Do you ever feel like you're doing all the right things for your health, but you're still not seeing the results you want? You're definitely not alone. And honestly, I think it's because so much of the information we've been given about what's actually healthy and what's not is just plain wrong. Because the truth is that there are a LOT of so-called "healthy...

If you’ve ever had a moment where you walked into a room and forgot why you were there, or you couldn’t find your car keys for the millionth time, or you just couldn’t quite remember that person’s name that you just met, then you know how frustrating it can be to feel like your brain is turning to mush. And the reality is, you’re not alone. In fact, cognitive decline is a huge issue for many adult...

If you grew up in the 80's and 90's like me, then you've probably been conditioned to believe that FAT is BAD. And honestly, I think that's a hard bias to overcome. Because for YEARS, we were told that fat was bad for us, that it clogged our arteries and made us gain weight, that it was the root cause of all of our health problems.  And as a result, food manufacturers went out...

So here's a fun fact for you: when it comes to losing weight, your body doesn't actually care about your goals. It doesn't care what size jeans you want to fit into, or what the number on the scale says, or whether or not you're finally ready to wear a bikini this summer. But your body does have a goal. And that goal, more than anything else, is to SURVIVE. Your body's pri...

There's nothing more frustrating than feeling like you're doing all the right things to lose weight and get healthy, only to see the scale just not budge. Believe me, I get it. After all, it's one thing to KNOW you're not really eating as well as you could be, or that you blew it over the weekend, or that you're just not trying all that hard. But it's a whole differen...

Raise your hand if the biggest reason you haven't actually changed the way you eat is that you're afraid you'll have to give up all the food you love forever. But what if I told you that's not actually true? And what if I told you that the whole point of HEALING YOUR BODY from the inside out—the very thing I talk about over and over again on this podcast, is to get you to a pla...

Fair warning, friends, I’m coming in hot today, and this episode might get a little bit spicy. In fact, I seriously considered calling this episode, "Why Oprah is full of [you know what!]," but I thought that might not make it past the censors. Yep, I really just said that.  I told you it was gonna be spicy! Because I don't know about you, but I recently watched Oprah’s big weight l...

Is 40 really the new 20?  Okay maybe not, but as I get ready to celebrate my 46th birthday this week, I contend that there IS definitely a whole lot of life left after 40.  In fact, I think I'd even go so far as to say this is my favorite decade so far!  And so in celebration of my birthday and hopefully aging gracefully, I thought today I’d share a few of my favorite things about life in my...

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, you've probably heard me mention hormones at least once or twice (or maybe a lot more than that.) Maybe you've heard me say things like weight loss isn't really about calories, it's about hormones, and that if you really want to lose weight, you've got to stop focusing on the same old tired advice to "ea...

What does it actually mean to be a Health Rebel? If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a little while, or if you get our weekly email newsletter, you’ve probably heard me use that term before.  But have you ever wondered what it actually means? Or, more importantly, whether it actually applies to you? ARE you a Health Rebel?   That’s exactly what today’s episode is going to help you find ou...

Raise your hand if you're a box checker. And by that, I mean, raise your hand if you like to do things RIGHT. If you're going to take on something new, you don't want to take any chances that you could be getting it wrong. And if you're going to focus on losing weight, you're going to follow ALL the rules and do ALL the things. Count your calories. Check. Exercise. Check....

What if I told you that the reason you've struggled to lose weight and get healthy is NOT because there's something wrong with you, or because you're over 40 and your metabolism has stopped working, or because you're weak and lack the willpower to actually make the necessary changes in your life. What if told you it was something bigger than that? Something a LOT more sinister?...

It never fails. The minute you decide you’re going to start eating better or trying to lose weight, you find yourself thinking about food ALL THE TIME.  It’s annoying right?  Believe me, I get it. In fact when I think back to all the million and one diets that I tried before I was finally able to actually lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE, the number one reason I failed was because I was just t...

Did you know that happiness is actually a superpower? It's true! And not only that, but consciously cultivating happiness and joy in your life on a daily basis, especially in the midst of a world that can seem pretty dark and depressing most of the time, be truly transformative for your health, your relationships, and your overall well-being.

Stress. For most of us, it's just a normal part of life, right? We spend a good chunk of our weeks feeling stretched to the max and overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks still left undone on that neverending list of things to do. Half the time we're running on adrenaline and can't turn off our brain, and the other half we just want to crawl into a ball and just veg out to get awa...

Do you ever feel like you’re just spinning your wheels when it comes to achieving your goals? Whether it's losing weight and getting healthy or some other big thing you want to do, do you ever feel like you're trying to stay motivated to make real changes in your life, but it's so hard to keep going when you don't see results right away, or you're not seeing the progress y...

Did you know, statistically, that three weeks into January—so basically, right about now—is when most people fall off the wagon with their New Year's Resolutions? That means that if you have already found yourself getting off track, then at least know that you're in good company. But that DOESN'T mean it's time to give up. Instead, this is the perfect time to take a step back a...
