It's my birthday episode--and instead of a party with candles and frosting, I thought we’d do something a little different: unwrap the real gift that changed my life—mastering the mental side of weight. For decades, I fought with food, rules, and endless cycles of “starting over tomorrow.” What finally broke that cycle wasn’t another diet. It was learning how to train my mind for long-term freedom. In this episode, I’ll share the principles that helped me step off the merry-go-round of struggle and stay at my healthiest weight for over 30 years. Think of it as setting the stage...

If you’ve ever felt trapped in an endless cycle of dieting, food rules, and self-criticism, this week’s episode is for you. I sat down with Andrea, a graduate of the Shift Weight Mastery Process, who has not only reached her ideal weight but has maintained it for four years. But the most powerful part of her story isn’t the number on the scale—it’s the freedom she discovered along the way. Andrea’s journey began when she was just 13, sitting in Weight Watchers meetings with her mom. For decades, her thoughts about eating and weight consumed far too much of her mental space. But...

Have you ever caught yourself thinking things about your weight that you’d never say to someone else?

SUPPLEMENT LIST FROM ZOE KARLI
If you only could take a few supplements, here are my MUST take, suggestions (and to note, I am not a doctor).
ZETA Body offers everything but #2. (Coming very soon).
- D+K 5000 - Vitamin D isn't a supplement or just any old "vitamin", it's actually a precursor to a very important hormone that helps the body make Calcium available to send (primarily) to bones and teeth. Added bonus, helps manage inflammation. Arguably, one of the best longevity supplements. ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN because of our decreasing bone density (of all ages).
- Creatine, at least 5G / day. No, it doesn't make you "bulky" - an old wives-tail. It is a naturally occurring compound stored in our muscles, and simply put: acts on energy reserves and supports cognitive function (it crosses the blood brain barrier, not all things do). It's synthesized from amino acids in the liver, kidneys and pancreas AND via our diets - red meat and fish. Needless to say, we need it, it's critical and shouldn't be overlooked. I recommend this brand: "CLEAN, Creatine, get it on Amazon! Only use Creapure and if you don't like powder, gummies are available).
- Probiotic. Research continues to show our guts our like our second brains. They filter so many toxins. Our food sources are becoming less and less nutrient dense. We need to supplement the natural "bugs" (bacteria) in our guts in order to help them function properly. If you are looking into ZETA, our phytonutrients are also a great way to supplement - they have pre and probiotics and can act very similarly to a multi-vitamin. If you take a probiotic solo, please add a good, complete multi.
- Methylated Bs. B6 +B12 are critical for certain processes for gene expressions. Simply put, these two Bs have separate but complementary roles for energy, neurotransmissions and have significant influence on mood, energy and brain function. Methylation is a fancy word for a molecule that binds to another molecule then speeds up or helps navigate gene expression (very layman).
Which leads me to my last suggestion. Brain health is SO important (and even more these days with all the over-stimulation, blue light, etc.). My newly co-developed nootropic (fancy word for brain health).
- I'm biased, but Z-83, a very novel nootropic. I'm proud to have developed it w/the founder and creator of creatine (as we know it - the most studied supplement). Z83 decreases that lurking brain fog, stimulates but subtly, without crashes or jitters all while calming our over-stimulated, anxious and stressed minds and bodies. Trully the HERO of your day. A daily performance supplement for brain and body.
