Wanting to lose weight isn’t a bad goal. But, we need to talk about everything that comes with how you’re losing weight. We need to rethink weight loss. I actually don’t think the term “weight loss” serves us well at all. In this episode, I talk about how you can rethink weight by considering your body’s recomposition, regular strength training, and eating macronutrients consistent with your body type and goal.

You need to start setting better boundaries. Boundaries help prevent burnout and resentment, even when you’re doing something that you love. I’m joined by my friend, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, on the release of her new book, Brave Boundaries, to talk about the steps to take to start setting boundaries in your life: both with yourself and other people.

As women, we’re pretty much taught by society not to put our own needs and desires first. This leads more and more women to discount and not prioritize themselves. What if I told you it didn’t need to be this way? What if I told you that by prioritizing your wants and needs, you will feel better, stronger, and more capable in all areas of your life? Let’s talk about developing a strategy to stop discounting yourself.

Your diet or nutrition plan isn’t getting you the results that you want it to. This is a common complaint among women trying to lose weight or gain muscle. There are usually five reasons why it might not be working – let’s look at them.

Emotional eating doesn’t have to be something negative – it’s really about the way that you process the emotions that lead to your emotional eating. I think we need to reconsider what emotional eating means to us. Let’s unpack the emotions behind emotional eating and strategize ways to survive any scenario where you might be more inclined to eat emotionally.

At some point in your life, you have eaten emotionally. I think there’s a lot of stigma about emotional eating, but not all emotional eating is negative. Eating birthday cake, celebratory meals, and other happy occasion foods are usually positive! So let’s talk about what constitutes negative emotional eating and the behaviors that might lead you there.

You are worth investing in yourself. That’s what my guest’s final transformation stories come down to. Invest in yourself. Find a group of supportive people who will lift you up and keep you going through the good and bad times. And while you’re at it - make sure to schedule some time for yourself!

Making transformations in a group setting is more fun and it helps you feel better, faster! This is part two of personal transformation stories from the women physicians in my group programs and they’re sharing the benefits of group coaching, how to practically set and stick to your goals, and why you really do have to trust the process.

When women come together, transformation happens. That’s what I love about my group programs: they’re full of women physicians who support, uplift, and encourage each other through all of the ups and downs that come with any kind of transformation journey. This is part one of a three-part series where I speak to some of the incredible women in my group programs.

You can redefine yourself at any time. It’s a process of rediscovery and self-awareness that lets you truly step into yourself and be yourself authentically. I’m breaking down the necessary steps along this journey, starting with actually identifying what your priorities are.

This is a tribute to my brother, Dr. Christopher, who is getting married! I wanted to talk about heroes in medicine and what makes someone a hero. My husband, Mark, joins me to spill all the good stuff about Chris, we talk about the qualities of a hero, and how you might actually be your own hero!

How can you make changes in your life and focus on new areas when you have all these other things going on? I know how overwhelming this is, but it doesn’t have to be. The trick is finding places you can pull back in so that you can move forward in other aspects of your life. Let’s talk about evaluating your life, setting goals, and sticking to your new boundaries.

If you’re an emotional eater, I want you to know that it’s probably not your fault. There are so many different factors that can determine why you might be more inclined to emotional eating - one of the big ones is your genes! Let’s talk about how your genes impact your eating habits, the power of your mindset, and how to develop a strategy that works for you.

Creating a following a long-term, sustainable eating plan, especially when it includes losing weight, doesn’t have to be an impossible journey. It’s all about working with three key strategies, finding the best long-term strategy for your body and goals, and knowing when you might want to be flexible or choose a different plan for different periods of your life.

Your health is literally your wealth and Dr. Erica Howe joins me again to talk about how her life changed after her cancer diagnosis. We talk about the power that comes from a community of supportive women, the importance of baseline fitness, and why we’re ditching diet culture for good.

If you’re feeling burned out and overwhelmed, you are not alone.

Dr. Erica Howe, Physician and Founder of the Women Physicians Wellness Conference, joins me to talk about how she dropped her facade, started talking about how she’s really feeling, and created something incredible for women physicians.

Your genes show you so many interesting things about yourself and your health, but they don’t have to define you. I’m sharing with you how some of my specific gene markers show me where I am predisposed to certain responses and how knowing this can help me create a better health and wellness strategy.

Get snobby with your extras. Indulge in that dessert, drink that cocktail, and indulge in that bread… but only if it’s really, really good and worth it. Nothing is off the table as long as you believe it’s worth it. I want you to get snobby with your extras to improve your relationship with food.
