The Paul Dermody Podcast

Today Brian joins me to discuss the release of his new book Rewire Your Mindset

My client Gill shares her story about improving outlook on food. She shares how she didn't want her twenties to be wasted in negative diet cycles, and the difficulties she has faced along the way. Thought-provoking piece from an intelligent lady 

I'm 30 tomorrow Here are some pearls of wisdom that smart people have taught me

In this episode I reply to a DM from a follower who messages looking for advice on what to do when large packets of sweets are open regularly and willpower seems weak. I believe this is a skill and mindset more than a "willpower" issue. 

Some of the worst mistakes I see from this one trainers point of view   1. Focusing on the little details and neglecting those that matter   2. Black vs white/ good vs bad thinking   3. Too many changes at once   4. Mismanagement of the scale

7 great lessons from my 100 episodes to date.   They include not being in such a rush, hedonic adaptation amongst others

A personal account of how certain ideas have helped improve my relationship with food 1. I began using principles, not methods 2. I stopped seeing food as good or bad 3. I stopped using dieting as self-flagellation 4. I realised food will always be there 5. I changed the lingo I used 6. I knew if you were never on a plan, you can never be off a plan 7. I asked better questions 8. I began to critically evaluate information I was offered 9. I stopped idolising physiques 10. I stopped being afraid of a little fat gain

Steve is back to chat about the recent fat-shaming stories in the media and his own personal experiences as well as dealing with it, how losing 110 pounds has changed his life exactly one year on and the mindset shifts that finally worked

As I grow and mature, these may change and/or be developed upon   Here are 8 ideas I wish to share   1. Make decisions from love, abundance and curiosity and not fear/hate 2. Use other people's ideas to expand on and challenge your own but don't follow blindly. 3. Critically think. The burden of proof is on the person offering you unsolicited advice. 4. Learn rather than wish for. 5. Understand whether desire would enhance your life or whether it's just another way to remain unhappy 6. Self-educate 7. Define a clear set of core values for yourself 8. Seek happiness always, even if you think you cannot find it.

I'm joined by Orlaith this week who shares some very open, honest and unique views on dealing with negative body-image.    There's a tonne of value in this episode.
