Weight Loss and Body Image: Why No One Is Judging You in Photos (The Spotlight Effect Explained) If you've ever stood in the back row of a family photo, worn the same "safe" outfit to hide your body, or offered to be the photographer just so you don't have to be in the picture, this episode is for you. Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down a well documented psychology finding called the spotlight effect, research showing we all dramatically overestimate how closely other people are watching and judging us. She also digs into internalized weight stigma, and why you can know, intellectually, that the people around you aren't judging your weight, while still feeling shame show up in your body anyway. Using a patient's story that many women will recognize in themselves, this episode makes the case that weight loss isn't a requirement for being loved, seen, or valued by the people already in your life.

Non-Scale Victories: Proof Your Weight Loss Habits Are Working, Even When the Scale Won't Budge 171. Non-Scale Victories: Proof Your Weight Loss Habits Are Working, Even When the Scale Won't Budge Non-scale victories prove your healthy habits are working, even when the number on the scale refuses to move. In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explains why the scale is almost always the last thing to change, not the first, and why relying on it alone can make you feel like you're failing even when you're succeeding. Drawing on research from Karl Weick on small wins and Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer's work on The Progress Principle, plus a real client's list of tracked non-scale victories, Dr. Oldson shows why celebrating small, visible wins is essential to weight loss motivation and long-term success.

The episode also introduces glimmer notes, a practice for capturing and holding onto the kind things people say to you. Backed by research on negativity bias and the Gottmans' 5:1 ratio findings from marriage research, this segment explains why we're wired to forget compliments and remember criticism, and what to do about it. Listeners leave with two concrete practices, a non-scale victory list and a glimmer list, to help build weight loss motivation and confidence that doesn't depend on the number on the scale.

Weight Loss Medication 101- How Doctors Decide Which GLP-1 (Or Other Medication) to Prescribe For You Not all weight loss medications are created equal, and picking the right one isn't as simple as choosing whatever's trending. In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD walks through the framework she uses in her practice to decide which weight loss medication is right for each patient. She starts with other health conditions like sleep apnea, heart disease, diabetes, migraines, and fatty liver disease, then moves through safety considerations, cost, and how much weight loss someone actually needs. Whether someone prefers a shot or a pill is always a consideration. Using a real patient case, Dr. Lisa breaks down how GLP-1 medications like Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), and other meds (like Qsymia and Foundayo) get matched to the right person. She also explains why medication for excess weight is legitimate, evidence-based chronic disease treatment, and not "cheating." This medication episode wouldn't be complete without an update on retatrutide, the "Triple G," next-generation medication making headlines with over 28% weight loss in recent trials.

  • Why protein powder and supplements aren't the weight loss shortcut the marketing promises
  • Why using weight loss medication isn't "cheating," and how it actually works with your biology

  • Why exercise isn't the weight loss silver bullet you think it is (and what it's actually essential for)
  • Why "it's not working" is often the wrong conclusion when weight loss feels slow

How to Exercise, Eat Better, and Sleep More Without Relying on Willpower If you've ever thought "I just need more motivation" or "I need more willpower," this episode is for you. The truth is, motivation is unreliable, willpower is a limited resource that runs out by the end of the day, and neither one is the foundation of lasting healthy habits. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson breaks down the psychology and neuroscience of behavior change, including why action creates motivation (not the other way around), how your brain builds habits automatically through repetition, and four research-backed strategies for exercising, eating better, and sleeping more, even when you don't feel like it.

Why Exercise Won't Help You Lose Weight (But Is the Secret to Keeping It Off) 160. Why Exercise Won't Help You Lose Weight (But Is the Secret to Keeping It Off) If you've ever ground away on a treadmill and wondered why the scale won't budge, this episode is for you. Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down one of the most persistent myths in weight loss culture: that exercise is the key to getting thinner. Decades of research say otherwise, and understanding why is one of the most liberating things you can do for your relationship with movement.

In this episode you'll learn why exercise triggers metabolic compensation (your body is smarter than any fitness tracker), what Herman Pontzer's landmark research on the Hadza people of Tanzania revealed about calorie burn and physical activity, and why even marathon training rarely produces significant weight loss. You'll also learn why exercise IS one of the most powerful predictors of long-term weight maintenance once the weight is lost, and why that distinction matters enormously.

Dr. Lisa also covers the surprisingly robust evidence linking regular movement to depression, anxiety, and stress relief. This includes research showing that exercise can be as effective as antidepressants and therapy for some people. She also walks through the behavioral science of actually building a habit that sticks, covering the Stages of Change, Self-Determination Theory, identity-based habits, and why motivation is the wrong thing to chase.

In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD digs into the surprising science behind dietary simplicity, and why reducing the variety of what you eat may be one of the most underrated weight loss strategies out there.

Dr. Lisa covers a brand-new 2026 study from the American Psychological Association showing that people who ate repetitive meals lost significantly more weight than those who constantly varied their food choices. She also explains the biology of sensory-specific satiety, the built-in appetite mechanism that food companies exploit to keep you eating more, and shares data from the National Weight Control Registry on how the most successful long-term weight losers actually eat.

Plus: a counterintuitive finding about weekend food tracking that may completely change how you approach your weekend meals.

You'll walk away with 5 practical tips for simplifying your meals, building a personal dinner rotation, and using food routines to reduce decision fatigue, so healthy eating starts to feel automatic instead of exhausting.

In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down a landmark new study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, the largest real-world analysis of its kind, which found that people taking GLP-1 medications were dramatically less likely to develop alcohol, opioid, nicotine, and cocaine use disorders. The numbers are stunning, and the brain science behind them is even more fascinating.

Whether you're on a GLP-1 medication, considering one, or simply trying to understand your own cravings and habits, this episode offers a compassionate, science-backed perspective that might just shift the way you think about willpower, the brain, weight, wine, and behavior change.

Atomic Habits for Weight Loss: Identity Change Beats Dieting Every Time 155. Atomic Habits for Weight Loss: Identity Change Beats Dieting Every Time What if the reason you keep falling off track has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or the right diet plan, and everything to do with how you see yourself?

In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD draws on James Clear's Atomic Habits, Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck's research on the growth mindset, and Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer's Progress Principle to make the case for identity-based change. The goal isn't to lose weight. The goal is to become someone who prioritizes her health, because it turns out that shift changes everything.

You'll learn why outcome-based goals eventually run out of fuel, how every small healthy choice is quietly building (or undermining) your self-image, and why becoming a healthy person absolutely does not require being a perfect one.

Plus: a simple NBA (Next Best Action) to try today that takes about 30 seconds and might stick with you for years.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • The 3 LDL cholesterol targets everyone should know
  • Why the new PREVENT risk calculator may change your doctor's conversation with you, and why you should ask for your 30-year risk, not just your 10-year risk
  • What a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan is, and why it's being called "the best tiebreaker" for people in the gray zone
  • Two important blood tests, Lp(a) and ApoB, that your standard cholesterol panel is probably missing
  • How working on your weight may be protecting your heart at the same time

Zepbound KwikPen, Wegovy HD & Oral Wegovy: Your 2026 Weight Loss Medication Update Weight loss medication is evolving fast, and in this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down three major developments you need to know.

First, the brand-new Zepbound KwikPen: what it is, how it works, how much it costs, and why it's a game-changer for people using tirzepatide. 

Next is Wegovy HD at 7.2 mg, the newly FDA-approved higher dose of semaglutide that delivers weight loss results approaching those of bariatric surgery. Importantly, she'll tell you about the most common side effects you need to know about before you ask your doctor about this or other weight loss meds. 

And finally, a quick update on the oral Wegovy pill, the first-ever GLP-1 medication approved for weight loss that doesn't require an injection.

Dr. Oldson covers the efficacy, pricing, availability, and side effects for all three options, and reminds us that excess weight is a chronic medical condition deserving of evidence-based medical treatment, not judgment.

Whether you're currently on a weight loss medication, considering one, or just want to stay informed (because EVERYONE is talking about this!), this episode gives you everything you need for a smarter conversation with your doctor and to help you decide if one of these medications might make sense for you.

In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down the science of self-control and shares research-backed strategies to help you stop running on empty by 9 PM.

You'll learn why willpower gets depleted throughout the day, and why hunger makes it even worse. Drawing on the work of Roy Baumeister (whose groundbreaking "ego depletion" research explains that late-night refrigerator raid) and Stanford health psychologist Kelly McGonigal, Dr. Oldson shares surprisingly simple "willpower workouts" you can start today; no gym required.

You'll also discover why the ultimate goal isn't to have more willpower, it's to need less of it, by using it strategically upfront to build habits that eventually run on autopilot. Plus, Dr. Oldson makes the case that when you feel completely tapped out, you likely have more in reserve than you think.

Drawing on over a decade of experience as a weight loss physician, Dr. Oldson breaks down the psychology of goal-setting, including groundbreaking research from NYU psychologist Dr. Gabriele Oettingen, whose studies show that dreaming about your goal weight may actually make you less likely to reach it. She also shares a simple but powerful framework called WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan), that you can use today to turn vague intentions into real behavioral change.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why outcome-based goals (like a number on the scale) set you up for frustration and burnout
  • How process-based goals lead to more weight loss, and why the research backs this up
  • The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and why it matters for long-term success
  • How to use the WOOP method to build a goal with staying power
  • What your "Next Best Action" is, and how to identify yours today

Whether you've been chasing the same number on the scale for years, or you're just getting started on your weight loss journey, this episode will completely shift how you think about goals, and give you a practical, compassionate path forward to weight loss and better health.

Dr. Lisa Oldson introduces one of her favorite mindset shifts for sustainable weight loss: Add Before You Subtract. Instead of leading with restriction, deprivation, and a list of forbidden foods, Dr. Lisa explains why focusing first on adding more protein, fiber-rich fruits & vegetables, and whole foods is not only more effective, it's backed by science. 

You'll learn how the "crowding out" effect works, why restriction-first thinking triggers your brain's scarcity response, and how a simple abundance mindset can transform your relationship with food. 

If you're tired of white knuckling your way through diets that don't last and leave you feeling deprived, this episode will show you a SMARTER and more sustainable path forward for weight loss and better health.

The Science of Sustainable Weight Loss: Why Your Diet Isn't Working, And What the Research Says to Do Instead 146. The Science of Sustainable Weight Loss: Why Your Diet Isn't Working, And What the Research Says to Do Instead Is calorie counting sabotaging your weight loss? New research says you're missing something big. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson breaks down a newly published randomized controlled trial that challenges the "eat less, move more" approach to weight loss once and for all.

Dr. Oldson shares what she observed early in her career about why calorie restriction alone almost never leads to lasting results, and what the science actually says about sustainable weight loss. Spoiler: it has a lot more to do with stress hormones, sleep, self-compassion, and community than it does with counting calories.

You'll learn:

  • Why calorie restriction triggers hunger hormones that work against your weight loss efforts
  • How chronic stress and elevated cortisol drive weight gain and abdominal fat
  • What a new study from Brazil reveals about the power of mindfulness, behavioral support, and community in producing better outcomes than a low-calorie diet alone
  • Why low adherence to calorie-restricted diets isn't a willpower problem, it's a biology problem
  • The questions to ask about any weight loss program to know if it will actually work long-term

If you've ever felt like you were doing everything right and still not losing weight, or losing it and gaining it right back, this episode is for you.

Increasing Distress Tolerance: The Skill That Makes Weight Loss (and Healthy Habits) Finally Stick 145. Increasing Distress Tolerance: The Skill That Makes Weight Loss (and Healthy Habits) Finally Stick Why do you order pizza, pour a glass of wine, or reach for chocolate or chips when you’re not actually hungry?

It may not be about willpower. And it may not even be about food.

In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explains how distress tolerance, your ability to sit with uncomfortable emotions without immediately trying to escape them, may be the missing link in sustainable weight loss and healthy habit change.

Drawing from research in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dr. Oldson walks you through how increasing psychological flexibility can reduce impulsive eating, late-night snacking, emotional eating, and even binge behaviors.

You’ll learn:

  • What distress tolerance really is (and what it’s not)
  • Why cravings are often about emotional discomfort, not hunger
  • How urge surfing works to reduce impulsive eating
  • A simple 5-minute daily practice to build emotional endurance
  • How to use TIP skills to calm your nervous system during intense cravings
  • Why delaying a binge by even 5 minutes is meaningful progress
  • What real improvement looks like (hint: not perfection)

If you feel like you “know what to do” but struggle to actually do it, this episode will help you understand why, and give you practical tools to finally make healthy habits stick.

To Lose Weight And Improve Your Health, “Practice” Should Be Your Word Of The Year Have you already abandoned your New Year's Resolution? No judgement! You're not alone. New Year's resolutions often fail because they feel like obligations rather than invitations. In this episode, a month after the new year, Lisa Oldson, MD shares why choosing a single word to guide your year, especially the word PRACTICE, can transform your approach to weight loss and building healthier habits. Drawing from her own experience learning Argentine tango, sports psychology research, and Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000-hour rule, she explains why healthy habits are skills that require deliberate practice, patience, and repetition. If your resolution has already fallen by the wayside, this episode offers a fresh start with a more sustainable, compassionate approach to weight loss, longevity, and better health.

You'll learn:

  • Why resolutions fail by February, and why a word of the year is a better option.
  • The 10,000-hour rule and deliberate practice.
  • How to create healthy habits.
  • Why don't elite athletes give up when they get off track?
  • PRACTICE as your word for 2026.

Finding Your Edge: A Yin-Yang Approach to Sustainable Weight Loss and Better Health 139. Finding Your Edge: A Yin-Yang Approach to Sustainable Weight Loss and Better Health What if the reason weight loss feels so hard isn’t lack of willpower, but lack of balance? In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explores the concept of yin and yang through an unexpected yoga class, and how a gentler, more sustainable approach to weight loss can reduce burnout, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking. Learn how finding your “edge” (without pain or punishment) can reduce stress and help you create lasting weight loss and better health. 

You'll learn:

  • Why most women approach weight loss from an overly yang mindset; pushing harder, doing more, and relying on discipline alone
  • What yin and yang really mean for health and sustainable weight loss (and why balance matters)
  • How stress, nervous system overload, and constant effort can quietly stall weight loss
  • Why adding yin practices (rest, recovery, reflection, and embracing gentle progress) can actually improve results
  • How balancing effort with recovery makes weight loss feel easier, more sustainable, and less exhausting

Chronic Stress In Women…How It Hijacks Our Hormones And Our Weight Loss Goals (And What We Can Do About It!) 116. Chronic Stress In Women…How It Hijacks Our Hormones And Our Weight Loss Goals (And What We Can Do About It!) In today's episode of the SWLC Podcast, Lisa Oldson, MD opens up about an intensely personal period of acute stress, and uses that story to jump into the science behind chronic stress, hormonal shifts, and weight gain in women.

If you've ever wondered why it's harder to lose weight when you're overwhelmed, burned out, or constantly caring for everyone else first, this episode is your roadmap. Dr. Lisa breaks down how long-term stress disrupts hormones like cortisol, ghrelin, insulin, and leptin, creating powerful cravings for comfort foods and making weight loss feel impossible. Especially for women.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between acute and chronic stress—and how each affects appetite
  • Why ghrelin is more than just a "hunger hormone"
  • How stress-related hormone shifts lead to abdominal fat, leptin resistance, and overeating
  • Why weight gain under stress is not your fault, and what science says we can do about it
  • The critical role of support, therapy, medications, and mindful self-compassion in lasting change

This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever blamed themselves for weight gain under stress. There’s real science behind it...And there’s hope.

  • The surprising link between stair climbing, heart disease and early death
  • What type of home design might best support your long-term health and weight goals

A lot more than you’d think. In this first part of a two-part series, Dr. Lisa takes you inside the 35,000 micro-decisions we make each day, and how many of them, if repeated, quietly shape our health, metabolism, and even how long we live.

Through a relatable dessert dilemma from a summer BBQ (yes, there’s fluff involved), you’ll learn how to reduce exposure to ultra-processed “non-nutritive food-like products” (NANA FLIPS), rethink how we feed our families and guests, and make conscious swaps that align with your long-term goals (without deprivation or shame).

Next week, join us for PART TWO about decisions that compound over months and decades, including those about shoes and architecture. (Yep, seriously!)

We would love to help you reach your happy weight, and transform the way you talk to yourself about your body and the number on the scale. Negative thoughts about yourself don't have to take up so much brain space, and we'd be honored to help you reframe those thoughts.

Categorical Self Binding For Weight Loss, Longevity, and Even Cancer Prevention 106. Categorical Self Binding For Weight Loss, Longevity, and Even Cancer Prevention Today, Dr. Lisa explores categorical self binding, a strategy where you intentionally avoid entire categories of food (like sugary drinks or ultra-processed snacks) to support weight loss, metabolic health, and potentially even cancer prevention. Unlike relying on willpower, binding creates systems that make healthier choices easier and more automatic over time.

Dr. Lisa compares food addiction to substance addiction, highlighting that some of us may need firmer boundaries with hyperpalatable foods, not because there's something wrong with us, but because many foods have been engineered to hook us. While no foods are truly forbidden, experimenting with categorical binding can help reduce cravings and improve long-term habits—especially when done with flexibility and self-compassion.

Coffee May Help You Live Longer, Healthier, Impact Your Weight, Heart Health, Brain Health & Risk For Diabetes, But HOW You Drink Your Coffee Matters There is an abundance of data on the impact of coffee drinking on health. Dr. Lisa shares the data on the way coffee impacts our risk for premature death, diabetes, depression, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease, dementia, and other health conditions. 

She also dives in to the impact of coffee on weight loss, of course. And for those taking GLP1 agonists like Wegovy or Ozempic (or GLP/GIP meds like Zepbound or Mounjaro), she reviews the data on coffee and sarcopenia, which is muscle loss.

This episode is filled with myth busting surprises about coffee and health. Of course there are downsides to coffee, so if you're pregnant, or you find that coffee causes palpitations, worsening anxiety, or insomnia for you, then it's probably time to rethink your drink or cut down on your coffee.

How Dry January Can Help You Avoid Dying From Cancer (And Also Lose Weight and Live Healthier Longer!) 87. How Dry January Can Help You Avoid Dying From Cancer (And Also Lose Weight and Live Healthier Longer!) Dr. Vivek Murthy, in one of his last acts as Surgeon General of the U.S., issued an advisory highlighting alcohol use as a leading preventable cause of cancer, behind tobacco and obesity. Did you know that alcohol increases the risk for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and at least 5 other types of cancer? The key takeaway from his advisory is that alcohol related cancer is PREVENTABLE.

Today, Dr. Lisa walks through how to approach a month of cutting out (or down) alcohol, whether for Dry January, Sober October, or any 30 day stretch you'd like to tackle. This same approach can be used to take a break from any other habit that isn't serving you, from eating fast food or sweets, to snacking, to excessive online shopping, to scrolling through Instagram past your bedtime.

Habit change is possible, and this (non judgemental) conversation about the link between alcohol and cancer can be the impetus to transform your health in 2025. We'd be honored if you'd share today's podcast with anyone you love who might be interested in knowing about the connection between alcohol & cancer.

How To Create An Exercise HABIT To Manage Your Weight, Your Health, and Your Mood You might be curious to know what's involved in losing 84# and keeping it off. Science tells us that EXERCISE is a key component to maintenance of weight loss, but how can someone create an exercise habit if they've never been successful before? Today, Dr. Lisa reviews some research from the National Weight Control Registry and shares some secrets to making exercise as automatic as getting up and making your coffee in the morning.

Having AUTOMATICITY around exercise means not having to negotiate with yourself when you're not in the mood. You won't need to tap into self discipline or willpower, two things people rely on that aren't always abundant.

Exercise lowers the risk of weight gain, diabetes, depression, cancer, stroke, heart attack, and premature death. You'll have more energy, more focus, and be more productive at work, when you develop an exercise habit, and Dr. Lisa will show you how to do just that!

Are You Sure You Want To Indulge In Food Drama For The Holidays? Lean In & Listen Up If You’re Trying To Lose Weight Between Now And The New Year 81. Are You Sure You Want To Indulge In Food Drama For The Holidays? Lean In & Listen Up If You’re Trying To Lose Weight Between Now And The New Year Food drama is a ruminating thought pattern that many people have, which is often amplified this time of year. Between Halloween and the New Year, most of us are gaining weight that we never lose, despite the fact that the majority of us are concerned about our weight. Dr. Lisa is the ANTI-diet weight loss doctor, and in today's episode, she'll invite you to CHILL OUT when it comes to holiday treats. It's okay to invite yourself to step back, and simply focus on maintaining your weight for a while. Using her 5 step process, you can avoid weight gain, by declining impulsive trips to the food carnival.

Be warned, this episode may lead to relaxing more, trash talking yourself less, and allowing yourself permission to have an occasional holiday treat! It's not a recipe for weight loss, it's an invitation to find a healthy balance, have a little fun, reduce impulsive treats, while you PLAN and ALLOW the holiday treats that are meaningful to you. 

Thanks for listening!

When Thanksgiving Is Over, You Have To Throw Out Your Halloween Candy, And Other Weight Loss & Wellness Axioms 80. When Thanksgiving Is Over, You Have To Throw Out Your Halloween Candy, And Other Weight Loss & Wellness Axioms We know, we know...Dr. Lisa gave you the first of her 10 personality types for weight loss a couple of weeks ago, and she's been meaning to get back to the 2nd type. But believe us when we say...something more pressing came up this week!

If you've still got leftover Halloween candy sitting in your home, or any treat that's causing you food drama, Dr. Lisa has a few things to say about it. First of all, you're not alone. It seems to be a universal problem that we all feel conflicted about throwing away food that isn't serving our weight loss and health goals. But also, and we're quoting here, "It's time to pull up our big girl panties and throw that candy away!"

Whether it's leftover candy, a half eaten bag of chips, or some ice cream in your freezer, chances are there's something you might want to throw out, in order to reduce the food drama. Nobody needs temptation in their home, setting up a recurring, and entirely unnecessary battle.

We truly appreciate you listening, sharing, and following The Smart Weight Loss Coaching Podcast! And we promise to get back to the weight loss personality types before 2024 gets away from us!

Let It Be Messy: Why You Should Chill Out In Order To Achieve Weight Loss, Better Health, Wellness, and Longevity It's so common for working moms (and some dads too, of course!) to take on way too much responsibility for things at home. There's nothing wrong with asking others to help out too! If you're thinking there's no time to exercise, prep healthy meals, get a good night's sleep, and juggle your job and kids, we get it. Everyone feels that way at times because there is so much invisible work involved in being a working mother. (And YES, I agree that all mothers work, whether you're doing it in or out of the home!) But there might just be more wiggle room than you realize. Get curious...Might it be possible to delegate some tasks and reclaim some time to do whatever it is you want to prioritize for yourself? In today's episode, Dr. Lisa walks us through an example of how her client made a major change, and the impact it had on her family.

Willpower and Self Control Are NOT The Keys To Weight Loss 71. Willpower and Self Control Are NOT The Keys To Weight Loss If you think people who are thin have more willpower than those struggling to lose weight, think again. Our food decisions are influenced more by our external environment than our internal self regulation. We all have self control, but we also all have limits. When we tap into our willpower, we're going to deplete it, leaving ourselves vulnerable when the next food decision comes along.

Today, Dr. Lisa shares the findings from a clever study involving radishes, chocolate chip cookies, and willpower. If you're trying to lose weight, improve your health, and live healthier longer, it's critical to understand what influences your food decisions.

Perhaps it's time to give yourself grace, and have some self compassion when you feel too tapped out to pass on a chocolate chip cookie. Turns out, it isn't your fault. Fortunately, with a heightened awareness of what depletes your self control, and a plan for how to mitigate that, you can turn things around. With just a few tweaks and some self awareness, navigating food decisions just got a lot easier.

Before you go…we have two quick announcements. First, please check out SmartWeightLossCoaching.com if you’d like to learn more about our upcoming Women’s Wellness Retreat. The deadline to register is October 18, 2024, or whenever we fill up.

Second announcement...Please listen to the entire podcast, so you can learn how to sign up for our free RAFFLE. One lucky podcast winner will get a free 12 week membership to our Smart Weight Loss Coaching Program. We'd love to meet you and to help you reach your healthy and happy weight.

Having a growth mindset is a reliable predictor of who will lose weight and transform their health. Those who stay on the struggle bus, and never get past feeling frustrated and stuck, are often blocked more by how they think than what they do.

Both too much or too little Vitamin D can cause problems in our body, and increase our risk for certain health problems including osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer. Even obesity and weight loss can be impacted by Vitamin D. Heart disease is the #1 killer of both men and women in the US. Many women think breast cancer is the leading cause of death, but it's heart disease for women, as well as men. Did you know that your Vitamin D level might increase your risk of dying from heart disease?

Thought Interrupting For Weight Loss and Stress Management 57. Thought Interrupting For Weight Loss and Stress Management We ALL have moments when we ruminate and spin in negative thoughts. Often that happens at night, preventing us from sleeping well. And the more we spin, the more that negativity impacts our feelings, leaving us disempowered, angry, frustrated, or defeated. Of course when we feel defeated, we rarely focus on our self care. Who wants to eat broccoli, get some exercise, and work on weight loss when they feel defeated? Often, we prefer chocolate, wine, or pizza when we're trying to self soothe after ruminating. Today, Dr. Lisa reviews a technique called thought interrupting. It's a way to catch these spinning thoughts and reformat them, so we don't sabotage our weight loss, our sleep, and our health. Today's episode also features a cameo appearance by Dr. Lisa's daughter. Listen in to hear what she has to say about interrupting thoughts.

Why Is Everyone Talking About Weight Loss Medications? 10. Why Is Everyone Talking About Weight Loss Medications? Consider this shocking statistic: As recently as 1995, only 15.8% of adults in the U.S. had the disease obesity, which is currently defined as a BMI of 30 or higher.

Today, that number has skyrocketed to a jaw dropping 43%! And when you include those with a BMI over 25, the definition of overweight, over ⅔ of US adults have either obesity or overweight.

Do you believe that we collectively lost our willpower during the past 30 - 40 years? No way. Something is changing in our environment. We don’t have all of the answers, but we DO have some scientific explanations for pieces of the weight gain puzzle.

If you carry excess weight, please know that it is not your fault. The science is very clear that this is NOT a disease of willpower. It’s not a personality flaw. This is a DISEASE and for many people it is a chronic progressive disease.

Fortunately, we have new, science based tools, including medications, to help us fight this trend. Join Dr. Lisa as she gives an overview of why you might consider medication for weight loss. The information in today's podcast is for information only and should not be considered medical advice. Please speak with your own health care provider about your person situation and whether or not medication is right for you.
