Diets Don't Work

In this episode I share some news about a medical diagnosis I received recently.  As I dealt with this new diagnosis, I recognized a few things" I wasn't practicing what I taught others I had taken on way more than was healthy  My mind and body weren't working together for my overall well-being As I sorted through these realizations, I made some changes in my routine, I utilized many of the tools I share with my clients, and I came away with a sense of strength and curiosity for moving forward.  We may find our bodies telling us we need to slow down while our brains keep driving us forward. Listen, learn, and take action!  Self-care IS healthcare!

In this episode of Reporting From the Mind-Body Wars, I share some answers I got to this question: WHY don't we prioritize our own self-care? I have been researching the idea of self-care as a form of health care. What do we do to contribute to own well-being and the health of mind, body, and soul?   I received a variety of answers to the question when I asked it on several of my social media platforms and I share those answers with you? Are there any answers that resonate with you? Or maybe you have a different answer. I'd love to hear from you at [email protected]! Finally I share my new Self-Care Facebook coaching group and I would love for you to join me there. If you'd like to be a member, please click this link and I will get you added to the group. It's going to be a great group! Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthcoachlisat/ I will talk to you soon and have a great day! 

Hi everyone, in this episode I talk about the importance of resilience, the ability to bounce back during times of difficulty. The past week has been challenging for me in a good way, but challenging all the same. We need to develop resilience whether we are trying to develop new habits, or face new challenges. How do we do that? I hope you will listen and learn! 

Welcome to Episode 2 of Reporting From the Mind-Body Wars. In this episode, I discuss several reasons why diets don't work.  Or why they don't work over the long haul.   Here is the link to the "Health at Every Size" manifesto that I mention in this podcast: https://lindobacon.com/HAESbook/pdf_files/HAES_Manifesto.pdf You can find more resources at coachlisat.com.

A micro-podcast to demonstrate the futility of dieting. 

In Episode 1, I will share the four pathways that led me to become an anti-diet messenger and to hosting this very podcast. The four pathways include being a registered nurse in the emergency department for over 30 years, becoming a health coach, being a survivor, and finally, decades of chronic dieting.  Spend some time getting to know me and my story as we get ready to start this journey together. 

Join me as I report on the battle between mind and body--better know as dieting! I created this podcast to support and educate those who are fighting this battle. Take a break from the battle and draw strength from the peaceful vibe of a fellow warrior.
