In this episode, we address a listener's concern about whether years of dieting and intermittent fasting have affected her hormones.

The term 'hormone balancing' is widely used in wellness marketing, but it often lacks specificity and can be misleading. Despite its frequent use, true hormonal imbalances are serious medical issues that can impact various aspects of health, including metabolism, menstrual cycles, bone density, blood pressure, and fertility. If you're experiencing symptoms like irregular sleep, intense cravings, or irregular periods, you're not alone. We're here to help clarify what's really going on with your hormones.

Join us for this 4 part series starting with Part 1: Melatonin and Leptin!

It's common for many of the people we work with to desire to lose weight. However, many of them have been on and off the diet roller coaster for a large portion of their life, and can get burnt out from pursuing a goal of weight loss solely. Sometimes, clients decide that they want to work towards a different goal, such as performance in exercise, maintaining current habits, or body acceptance.

When working with our clients, one of the most important part of our jobs as coaches is to stay attuned to the clients goals, which often evolve over time and through different seasons of life. In this episode, join us as we discuss how we help clients think through when they want to keep working toward weight loss, and when they desire to change what they focus on for a goal.

If you've ever been confused yourself thinking, "I don't know if I wanna lose weight or if I wanna go after something else", this episode is for you.

Today, we join a conversation with my (Georgie's) client Kerry, who is close to graduating. We only have a couple weeks left of working together, and she has lost weight successfully and steadily. She's been through this process diving into the challenges one by one, practicing new skills to manage them.

You could think of today's episode as a glimpse into what it looks like once someone has moved pretty far into successfully changing their behaviors and losing weight. Kerry is a really great example of someone who is paying attention all the time to cause and affect relationships, and she adjusts her behaviors as needed.

She knows that when she hits her weight goal, her mind is going to open up space to potentially justify decisions that will make her regain weight. That's one of the future problems we are heading off in the conversation today. I hope you enjoy this episode and that you find Kerry a really helpful example. You too can reach this level of knowing yourself and working with your needs and tendencies to reach your eating and weight loss goals. Best of all, from knowing yourself and working with your tendencies, you'll be able to maintain results for the rest of your life.

Today, we join Georgie and her client Chelsea once again. Chelsea has been making great progress, and you will see that she's somebody who has always taken a very easygoing approach to meeting her goals to lose body fat and weight while still enjoying her life and having a good time practicing for competitive dance, which she engages in regularly.

As you hear right from her own lips, she has made so much progress without suffering because she has been patient, because she's allowed the process to take the time that it takes. She's improved her habits and her body has changed, and she knows that it will continue to change without suffering.

Another helpful point of this conversation comes up about what to do when you feel like not cooking. When you just don't have the energy, the days when you're tempted to Door Dash or just pick up something on the way home or go through a drive-through. We want Chelsea (and you) to know how someone can be in that state and still get nutritious food without necessarily forcing yourself to cook. We hope you enjoy the show!

If you could use some support in making progress towards your goals without suffering, that is our specialty and we'd love to talk! Reach out to us by clicking one of the links below.

Have you ever started a house project, knowing you have the tools you need, but you can't find the toolbox? You can experience the same thing when you are trying on new skills to cope with the difficulties of life, but food and eating still seems to be the default tools, and you can't access your new skills or tools in your time of need.

We call this "the gap". It's that space between the knowing better and the doing better. Knowing has to come first, but then there's a lag where your old habits still fire automatically, or you find an excuse at the last second not to do the new behavior just yet. It's a really uncomfortable place to be and can really involve frustration.

In the gap, we want you to learn how to make those new skills more accessible and easier to use when the moments of difficulty arise and urges to eat are strong. That's what we're talking about in today's episode: how to make those skills more accessible and attractive.

If you feel like you are stuck in the gap, and you could use some support in practicing your new skills, check out this episode or reach out to use at confidenteaters.com to find out more about our coaching options.

In today's episode, we are going to talk about some of the things that our clients have raved to us recently about. Sometimes, more than one of our clients will really love a certain product or app independently, so we have been keeping track of those things to share with you in case you could use some of these tools.

There's some pretty cool stuff that's come around, from air fryers, to instant pots, to walking pads. But we want to make it clear that we're not here just to tell you to buy more stuff! You can just eat well and move and not need any products or purchases to support you in that. However, the whole reason this podcast exists is because it's not always simple and it's definitely not easy to eat well, maintain a healthy weight or stay fit.

Guidance and tools can be helpful and even necessary to succeed. And most importantly, they can make the whole process more fun and enjoyable. From hard goods, gadgets and gizmos to apps from your phone, check these out:

HARD GOODS:
SHAPA Scale
Glass storage containers with lids
Dressings container
Mini Bands (Amazon search)
Dash Mini Waffle Iron
Walking Pad
Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot, Air Fryer

APPS:
Wheel of Feels (Apple or Android)
Slow Eats (Apple App, can use the timer on your phone instead!)

Today we are going to hear another call between Georgie and her client Chelsea. When you are managing your weight and seeing the scale go in the direction you want it to, it's important to keep weight loss in perspective of your overall life.

It can be so easy to want to get too hooked on the scale and try to "hurry it up" which can lead to potentially overextending yourself into diet land. Chelsea is aware of this and taking caution.

Additionally, Georgie and Chelsea talk about what to consider when managing the level of effort you are putting into weight loss. If you feel like you are putting in too much effort and experiencing feelings of deprivation, those are strong predictors of becoming unhappy, rebounding into binge eating, or just flat out quitting.

On the other hand, if you don't put in any effort, change simply isn't going to happen. You can learn a lot from this conversation about dialing in the right amount of effort, how to deal with thoughts of "earning dessert" at the end of the day, and other challenges that come while managing your health journey.

If you’ve resolved year after year to lose weight without seeing lasting results—or tried to stop caring about weight altogether but found it impossible to let go—you’re not alone.

In this episode, we dive into a recent conversation from Georgie’s client, Kelly, whose struggles echo what so many experience. Maybe you've also tried to take steps which should be effective at reducing your body weight, like eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking fewer sugary beverages, and learning to eat because you're hungry, not just bored.

It might be that the consistency of your practice hasn't added up to being quite enough to show a meaningful difference on the scale. If you're thinking that sounds like you, then we want to help give you some direction. If you're looking for a better, bolder goal than just to "lose weight" this year, this episode is for you.
