The Real Weight Loss Coach

How often do you have an automatic, emotional reaction to a situation? Or are they so automated that you don’t even know what is on auto-pilot and what is your own choice. Developing self awareness is the absolute number 1 most important skill to get better in your life. If you’re unable, or problems keep recurring and the same situation ends up happening time and time again it’s likely you’re lacking the self awareness you need to modify and change your contribution to the problem. On the other side of self awareness is loads of hard work, but eventually it’s peace and a much easier life. On this episode we covered:How to build self awarenessWhy will your life suck for eternity if you aren’t aware of your own failingsWho to ask to be in your self awareness team (easy to get painfully wrong) ***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Tired of yo-yo dieting and feeling stuck with food?

Do you have sleep apnea or any sleep issue whatsoever? Yes? Then this episode is for you. Finally a biological, nutritional therapy answer to sleep that isn’t about stressing less and doing meditation (both useful by the way). This is a radically different approach to fixing sleep problems, to the point that these ideas are, firstly, a new problem to the western world that we’ve likely never dealt with on mass before, and, secondly, nutritional strategies being pushed by a medical doctor despite her drug prescribing education. You just have to listen to this and part 2 is on episode 303 - check that out straight after this one.On this episode we discussed: How a medical doctor published new medical hypotheses with nutrition as the answerHow humans have changed their relationship with the sun A lack of migration causes vitamin D deficiencyVitamin D receptors downregulate in the absence of lightWhy old people either stay awake all night or fall asleep when you’re talking to themWhy our skin gets lighter the more we’re indoorsWhy vitamin D is NOT a vitamin (and why modern medicine has neglected it)Whether or not supplements are enough, or, do you need the real sunHow vitamin D receptors in the brain stem help regulate sleepHow to fix Sleep Apnea, without CPAPWhy you should be outdoors as much as possible The relationship between vitamin D and all sleep issues***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Tired of yo-yo dieting and feeling stuck with food?

Do you get confused as to which foods are healthy to buy and which aren’t? It’s easy to be misled as marketing and branding does an incredible job of doing all the thinking for us.

Do you know much about word psychology? Often with our primary language, using it is so automated that we give little thought to the choice of words and how that impacts our day to day reality. The actual reality for many people is that the words they use about their health are non-committal, guilt ridden and lacking responsibility. In this episode I give you a handful of examples of poor word psychology and a better handful of words to use instead, so you can actually commit and achieve your health goals for a change. In this episode we discuss: How words are programming your mind all day every dayWhy your words aren’t leading to actionsHow to restructure your sentences to feel better and to act on your intentions***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Tired of yo-yo dieting and feeling stuck with food?

What is your drug of choice? Alcohol, anxiety medication, social media, video games, porn, cocaine, erotica novels? That’s right, your drug of choice doesn’t have to be a drug at all but what that entire list does is triggers dopamine to be released in your brain, the pleasure seeking neurotransmitter and that little gremlin is responsible for always wanting more than we know is good for us. So on today’s podcast we get to understand dopamine, it’s impact on our choices and how we can take back our lives from the cycle of pleasure seeking addiction. On this episode we discussed:What is Dopamine and what does it do for me?The pleasure-pain balance in the brain Why dopamine does not have a stop button How addictive behaviour is fueled by our environment The complex nature of pleasure seeking behaviour Alcoholics anonymous and 12 step programs are amazing toolsThe psychology of willpower Changing your identity will helping changing your addictive behaviour Is it possible to become someone that moderates their intakePhysical movement and stress on the body could be the answer Needing to get comfortable with your uncomfortable emotionsWhy privileged and wealthy nations have the highest rates of anxiety and depressionWhat you can do you reset your dopamine pathways***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Tired of yo-yo dieting and feeling stuck with food?

Do you have a hard time saying no to your favourite food, over and over and over again? This inability to say no repeatedly is the crux of most people’s health problems and it’s usually verbalised as “I can’t be good for long enough”. If you’re using willpower to be good for long enough then we’re never going to get there and you’ll be stuck on the back and forth for the rest of your life. So, we need to have an entirely different conversation about how you can release yourself from a deprivation and restriction mindset and understand you well enough to wire yourself differently.  On this episode we talked about: The way that sugar talks to you The 5 sugar dependency pathways Justifying yourself into a block of chocolateAbandoning our goals in pursuit of pleasure The pleasure addict culture that sugar marketing has created Kids and their phone addictions lead to more sugar advertising Dopamine is driving your need to be in the sugar addiction cycle Why are you so easily manipulated by yourself Every emotion leads to sugar, if you let it Dealing with the social challenges of saying no to sugar Why do we like mouth pleasure so much ***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Tired of yo-yo dieting and feeling stuck with food?
