• INFLAMMATION: Negative thoughts stimulate IL6, a pro-inflammatory cytokine. If you’re constantly in a state of judgment, criticism and “not enough” this could be the precursor to your physical symptoms such as weight gain, digestive issues and migraines. It’s not just your diet which can produce inflammation, lack of sleep, over-exercising, not feeling connected to others and negative thinking can also trigger inflammation. If you’re constantly thinking negative thoughts, ask why you are so harsh on yourself (or others) and whose voice are you replicating? Catch your thoughts and redirect them. When your conscious of them, you have greater power to switch them off. Just to be clear, it’s not the occasional negative thought which stimulates inflammation but chronic negative thinking. *** #inflammationbeyondfood #mindright #inflammation #foodandthemind #foodcoachnyc #archetypediet

  • THE THEORIES: Our understanding of fat loss continues to evolve. Each decade we find another input into the weight loss equation but does that mean we throw out the previous strategies? They are all valid and they must ALL be considered in cases of complicated weight loss resistance. If you’re following an insulin-stabilizing plan (ie keto or paleo) your portion sizes still count. You can’t expect to lose weight if you have a BMR of 1200 but you’re eating 2000 calories a day (easy to do on keto). So be conscious of the size of your meals. If you’re eating clean and not losing weight, eat 2/3 of your lunch and dinner to see if that makes a difference. *** Similarly, it not just about restricting carbs. While a lower carb diet will decrease your insulin levels, what about cortisol, which also causes your body to store fat? If you’re stressed and not sleeping, fat loss will be harder as more cortisol is secreted. And when that happens, you want more carbs! What about the gut microbiome? If that’s off, you’ll be bloated, constipated and inflamed, giving the gut microbiota more time to feast on undigested food and extract more calories from it. *** Weight loss can be very complicated. What you eat is just the beginning of it. My prediction is that the future of fat loss includes all of the above AND understanding the invisible forces behind weight gain - unexpressed emotions - with shame being the leading emotion around protective body fat padding. *** If you’re thinking where do I get more information to understand this? I discuss it all in my book #archetypediet. It’s nutrition, functional medicine and psychology all wrapped into one. #fatloss #archetypediet #foodcoachnyc #keto #paleo #weightloss

  • SENSE OF SELF: Your lack of willpower is not the reason behind why you didn’t achieve your physical or mental health goals last year. It was more likely that you de-prioritized yourself. Something else became more important. Perhaps it was wanting to be a “good” mother (or father) and believing that to achieve that, you need to be the chauffeur, the cook, the cleaner, the homework helper, the consoler, the bedtime story teller and the ever-present parent. This flawed belief simply leaves you exhausted. How can you possibly find time to eat healthy, meditate, exercise and get enough sleep to achieve your wellness goals, let alone intimate time for you and your partner? Quite frankly, you cant. You are not just a mother (or father). You are a woman (or man) and it’s vital that you do not disown this part of yourself in pursuit of being perceived as a good parent. The same applies to your career. Your career does not define you and if it does, your anxiety will skyrocket. This is a risky game to play if you believe that your sense of self is dependent on your success. No wonder the wine, chocolate and cbd gummies are so seductive. They numb you. Your willpower may be strong enough to make it through January by being sober, sugar-free and carb-free but then what? *** If you really want to change your mental and physical health, change your beliefs. You are first and foremost a woman (or man) and that must be your priority if you want to see sustainable results (and feel whole). If you don’t know how to do this, I wrote an entire book on it - The Archetype Diet - which is all about reprogramming beliefs. *** #mindright #newyear #2019goals #archetypediet #beliefs #foodcoachnyc
