You think you need more willpower, time, discipline, but they're finite resources. And when you feel like you can't white knuckle your way to resist the chocolate bar as a way to "treat" yourself, or the drink to relax out of your working day, YOU are not failing. Instead of more discipline, you may in fact need stronger boundaries Boundaries are not something you have to keep choosing. You set them once, and they hold the line for you. Today we're talking about why boundaries — not shame-driven willpower — are the real lever for your health. And I'll walk through exactly what that looks like with alcohol, food, and work. Not sure where you need boundaries, or what they can look like?

If you are stuck in your weight loss and can't seem to get rid of belly fat no matter how hard you try, it could be because your body is in survival mode. This happens - even if you don't think or recognize that this is happening - when: - You have unresolved trauma from the past that is blocking your progress - You restrict foods and calories aggressively to follow a diet or intermittent fasting - You have a lot of demand on your time, energy and capacity If you wake up at 3am, have racing thoughts and are also not seeing anything work to lose weight, this episode is for you. Here is what you will get in this conversation with my guest Lori Owens: * An updated definition for stress that will help you see that this is something you must pay attention to * Why it's important to take care of yourself, even if you think you are not stressed anymore than anybody else * 6 very practical ways to regulate your nervous system that are quick, easy and transformative * The link between trauma and your ability to manage stress This episode will show you how trauma and chronic stress are putting a cap on how good you can feel in your 40s and how it may explain why nothing is working for your weight loss. Belly fat is a result of this. Weight gain is a result of this. More exercise cannot fix this. Weight loss medication cannot fix this. Dieting makes it worse. Intermittent Fasting makes it worse. But in this episode, you will get practical tools to shift out of chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. ----more----Lori Owens is the host of Practical Solutions for PTSD.

I have coached over 80 men and women in their 40s in the last 3 months. They all are on Hormonal Replacement Therapy and most of them have a weight loss goal, or have mentioned having belly fat. And something really stood out to me. For most of those people, I noticed a pattern. Something most of us would not recognize. Something they almost shrug at, as “just the way life is”... A pattern that creates a hormonal cascade in their body that actually makes it harder to lose belly fat. A pattern that leads to never really being able to let go of the extra weight, no matter how hard they try. A pattern that calorie restriction, intermittent fasting and trying harder only make worse. You NEED to know about this pattern and hormone cascade. Because it is stealing from your sex hormones, leading to low libido, exacerbated perimenopause symptoms and it results in more fat in your abdomen. You NEED to know about this pattern and hormone cascade because it is wrecking your sleep. My clients are already on hormonal therapy — and the same struggles keep showing up regardless. This is something hormones alone can't fix. You NEED to listen to this episode if you have belly fat, you want to lose weight, you have broken sleep and low energy, and you have been trying to fix each one as a separate problem — a sleep supplement here, a gym program there, cutting carbs somewhere else — without anyone ever drawing the line connecting them all. In today’s episode, you will not only learn the pattern you may be missing that is explaining why weight loss feels impossible and belly fat is so stubborn. You will also get my top 3 recommendation for people to break it.

In this coaching call, you will get to hear: - A reframe that helped her to stop avoiding the scale and instead using it daily to motivate her to stay on track with healthy habits to lose belly fat - How staying on track was for her a key to becoming the consistent person she really wanted to be: committed to her habits - What it takes to lock in a healthy habit and make it a lifestyle, instead of reverting back to old habits In 12 weeks of coaching together, this person's waist circumference went down by 1.5 inches, her body fat levels decrease by 7.1% and her visceral fat - stubborn belly fat - went down by 2 points. Now here is a major hack for you, if you have been doing weight loss and feeling scared of the scale: Stop looking at body weight.

A skill that is trainable. It’s like the ingredient that holds the sauce together. Low carb, intermittent fasting, cold plunges, vegan diet, keto, carnivore,...

But what most people are missing is the special skill. One anyone can master The secret ingredient that is the catalyst for transformation: Consistency. Today I give you the 5 simple habits you need to see the results you want: a strong and lean body. I am not talking about weight loss programs, cutting, skipping meals or restricting food groups.

Whether you are constantly traveling for work, or going to be on the road for vacation with your family this summer, being away from home can make it very challenging to stay consistent with healthy eating. Today I share with you how I used AI to analyze menus of fast-food restaurants to find healthy options and low carb meals by looking for high protein diet options for one of my clients who wants to lose belly visceral fat. For weight loss, there is nothing like a homemade, whole food meal. But I know how life gets in the way. Whether it is because of traveling, or you just had a day where you find yourself in a pinch, having a few go-to healthy meals can be a life saver. In this episode, you will not only get the top picks for quick and easy meals from fast-food chains that won't completely derail your body composition goals, for when you are on the go or in a pinch, I actually give you the criteria that I used to find "healthy" options, so you can apply that to the fast-food chains that are in your area.

What if I told that sun exposure is one of the most underutilized levers for body composition? It is affecting visceral fat, muscle strength and function, and metabolic health through 4 distinct biological system. Today we talk about how the sun stimulates the production of vitamin D, Nitric oxide and melatonin, and how sunlight sets our circadian rhythm. You will learn how belly fat, fat and muscle respond to the sun, and you will learn how to harness the life-giving and energy-giving power of the sun. This is my encouragement to not hide from the sun this summer and not block your skin from making these amazing signaling molecules, especially if you want to lose weight and have more energy.

Don’t you find it frustrating? YOU KNOW what you’re supposed to do, yet, you don’t do it. Or, you know what not to do, but do it anyway. You know your evening snack watching a show will make you feel like crap the next day, but you still do it. You know that taking a walk after lunch would win the afternoon, yet you fill those 20 minutes with more sitting at your computer. The afternoon energy crashes, the blood sugar instability, the alcohol habit, the belly,... Those are real obstacles. But they are also solvable with the right systems. The knowing-doing gap is the reason the plans or systems don't stick. You could have the perfect meal plan, the perfect workout schedule, and the perfect reset guide, and this pattern would still quietly undermine all of it at the first sign of imperfection. This IS the struggle. This is the real reason why most of us find it difficult to stay healthy. In today's episode, I give you 3 steps to help you bridge the gap from knowing to doing. 3 practical steps that will help you take action.

In the spring, the panic of the swimsuit season incoming pushes people to try extreme cut down of calories, crash diets and other “get thin fast” schemes. Research analyzing over 628,000 dieting hashtags over eight years found that 30% of all annual dieting activity occurs in spring — significantly more than any other season. This is fueled by peak body dissatisfaction, coming out of the winter slump, and a desire to look good in the summer. Today, I am going to walk you through how this spring panic can backfire when you follow the trend. These extreme diets produce the yo-yo effect leading to : • Exhausting cycle of hope and failure that erodes self-esteem over time • Food obsession and an unhealthy relationship with eating • Guilt and shame when weight returns, even though regain is largely physiological • Anxiety around social eating situations • Feeling like a personal failure rather than understanding it's a structural problem with restrictive dieting I want you to understand the dangers of crash diets - weeks of extreme dieting, skipping meals or eliminating entire food groups - so that you can escape the never-ending cycle of yo-yo dieting. In this episode I also share what you need to do instead to get your best body for good.
