You are MEANT to have energy left at the end of those very full days.
And you are NOT broken.
You can lose weight AND eat food you enjoy. You can change the way you think AND start losing weight from a place of compassion and partnership with your body, NOT from hate and punishment. You can free your mental real estate from obsessing about food AND get to a point where you put on anything from your closet and feel confident. And I’m here to show you how.
I’m your host, Shannon Hagel, Holistic Nutritionist, behavioural expert, and working mama.
Each week, I’ll share practical tips, tools, and strategies to help you approach weight loss without any of the calorie restriction nonsense, repair your broken metabolism, and learn to really listen to what your body is telling you. I’ll focus on the root cause of where your weight loss resistance is coming from, and empower you to understand your mind, rebalance your hormones, and rewire old habits and patterns that are sabotaging your best intentions and stopping you from feeling fabulous AF in your skin.
I’ll cover topics like the changing rules to weight loss after 40, ending nighttime snacking for good, the so-called healthy dieting hacks that are creating hormonal weight gain, the all-or-nothing traps that prevent your success, reading the not-so-subtle messages to find out what YOUR body truly needs, and so much more. You’ll learn how to nourish - not punish - your body, empower your mind, stop feeling fatigued and sluggish, and the key to long-term success on your weight loss journey.
Losing weight does NOT have to be this difficult. If you’re ready to feel good in your body and light in your mind, be sure to follow the show wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.
