We're chatting today about all the things: journaling, nutrition, Exercise, and how to get started when you feel overwhelmed. Kim Mosiman owned a gy…

You want to lose weight and you also want to make sure that your young, impressionable kids, don't leave the house with the same messed up relationship with food that you picked up from your own mother's dieting attempts.

If you've been finding yourself not exercising (at all or consistently) because you don't enjoy the types of movement you feel like you "should" be doing, this episode is for you. Although walking and lifting weights would benefit the majority of us, the best exercise for you is the type you'll do consistently. Tune into this episode to hear real client examples of how starting with what they enjoy (pilates and running) helped them get into a consistent routine and the unexpected places that took them.

As a follow up to episode 216 about diet "rules" that actually work, today I'm sharing with you 4 of my personal "rules" that are working for me right now to help me be consistent and avoid decision fatigue when it comes to food and exercise.

Few things are as frustrating as seeing the scale go up - especially when you're trying to make it go down (or stay the same). Odds are, nothing has changed drastically to cause you to put on a few pounds - it's probably not a major medical or hormonal issue, and it's certainly not that you're too old and this is just how things are now. On this episode, I'm sharing what to do if the scale is creeping up so that it doesn't send you into a tailspin. You'll learn how to differentiate between short term fluctuations and actual fat gain, and what to do if you're experiencing the latter so you can …

We've all been there - elbow deep in a bag of chips when we told ourselves we wouldn't do that again tonight. Hitting snooze when we swore we'd wake up to workout. These "mess ups" don't need to be a big deal but can turn into one when we beat ourselves up about them but don't learn anything from them.

It would be SO much easier to lose weight if your partner was totally on board, right? Willing to workout with you, eat whatever you wanted, not offer any sort of temptations or resistance. Situations like that are pretty few and far between (and, believe it or not, aren't even necessarily what you'd want to be as successful as possible) so we have to learn to work toward our goals regardless of what our spouses want to do. Today's guest, relationship and sex therapist, Dr. Chelsea Page, is sharing actionable advice to communicate with your partner about your wants, needs, and desires. Dr. Che…

It's just not realistic -- or pleasant -- to think you're never going to go out to eat, again. It's a fun and necessary part of life, not something you should fear or avoid. And at the same time, the more you eat out, the less control you have over what's in your food, which can make it harder to lose weight or maintain your previous weight loss. Today I'm sharing my tips for going out to eat, enjoying yourself, and keeping your health goals at the fore front.

Emotional eating is a lot more complex than just, "I'm sad so I want a treat." We also eat when to celebrate, to fit in, and so many other reasons. Understanding the biological, social, and emotional components of how and why we eat is really important if you want to hone the skill of mindful eating where you nourish your body, indulge intentionally, and food thoughts don't dominate every waking moment. I'm joined today by Registered Dietitian, Lisa Ellis to discuss this and more. Passionate about holistic health and great movement, Kate runs her online movement and health platform, Mind Mov…

Most people are surprised to hear that exercise and nutrition are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to health and making lasting lifestyle changes. Psychology and understanding our brains and how to make them work *for* us is really at the root of reaching any goal that's important to you. This includes financial goals, which aren't just math problems, but boil down to psychology, as well. Today I'm joined by Chad Hufford, a financial expert with a passion for fitness and we're talking about all the many similarities between physical health and financial health.

Having a social life can make it harder to follow through on your good intentions when it comes to food and exercise. You may go into a situation with a rock solid plan, only to throw it all out the window out of fear of looking weird, having someone say something critical, or being pegged as obsessive and needing to "live a little." Today I'm talking about how to get over feeling self-conscious about your food choices so you can be more consistent, get better results, and cement your identity as a healthy person.
