169: Food Noise

Ever wonder if that constant hum in your brain around food — the what, when, should I, can I — is just part of life now? This episode is going to challenge that idea in the best way possible. Recorded from a hotel room in Toronto, I’m diving into a powerful, unscripted conversation about food chatter, dopamine, overachievement, and the real reason we over-snack, overthink, and overdo. If you’ve ever felt like your brain is constantly buzzing about food, and you’re tired of it, this conversation is for you. I’ll take you through a totally new way of understanding food noise, from hormone shifts to habit loops, and help you see that freedom is possible — not through willpower, but through strategy, science, and soul.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/169 Learn more: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones

Sometimes life throws a curveball, and this week, that meant a surprise mom duty moment for me. But rather than skip a podcast episode (which I never do), I’m sharing a gem I’ve never released here before. This episode walks you through exactly how to evaluate your weight loss results like a rockstar, without drama, guilt, or throwing in the towel when the scale doesn’t budge. If you’ve ever told yourself, “It’s just not working” or spiraled into shame after a pound crept up, this episode is your antidote. I’m breaking down why overachievers tend to avoid evaluation, how to flip discouragement into data, and why this ONE weekly habit might be the most important meeting on your calendar.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/168 Learn more: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones

Ever wonder why, despite being so successful in other parts of your life, sustainable weight loss still feels out of reach? In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a recent coffee chat where I broke down exactly why so many high-achieving women struggle to lose weight—and keep it off—no matter how hard they work. I’ve taken everything I know, from my own journey as a busy physician and mom who lost over 60 pounds to the science-backed strategies I use with my clients, and wrapped it into a five-part recipe that’s designed to help you stop winging it and start seeing real, lasting results.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/167 Learn more: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones

She shares how she overcame overwhelm, shifted her mindset, and created a process that’s changed her life, and her family’s too.

In this deeply honest and unfiltered episode, I'm sharing something I originally recorded just for my clients inside The Unstoppable Group: how I navigated a massive epic fail on a recent family trip to India. I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly what went wrong, what I used to believe in these moments, and the specific mindset and strategy shifts that helped me turn it all around without the usual spiral. If you've ever felt like one off-track moment means you've "ruined everything," this episode is for you. I walk through the real-life breakdown, the uncomfortable truth about gut health and fried food (yup, we go there), and the five-question retrospective that changed everything.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/162 Learn more about the group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group

For this very special birthday episode, I’m doing something totally different. Instead of me asking the questions, I handed the mic to my amazing clients and let them interview me. What started as a fun idea turned into one of my favorite episodes ever. You’ll hear stories I’ve never shared before, what inspired me to become a coach, and what I’ve learned through every messy, glorious, imperfect step along the way. I also answer a question I was asked one year ago: Did I actually hit the goal I set for myself? Let’s find out together. 🎉 And don’t forget—we’re celebrating the 3-year anniversary of the podcast!
