Show notes

Episode Overview

Typically, we do our Q+A episodes monthly. But this question came up recently, and it was just too good not to get on the podcast ASAP! Why? Because this is the number one question we get over and over, and it usually goes something like this: "I want to lose weight. That means I have to eat less. How is that different from restriction?"

As you'll soon learn in this episode, it's VERY different. Don't miss it!

Also, if you want to dive deeper into understanding and practicing weight loss without restriction, check out our course, Fat Loss Foundations! Click here to get started.

Episode 226: How to Handle Photos You Hate Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

Episode Overview

Does looking at photos of yourself trigger intense body shame? Over the last seven years, we've seen this time and again: an enjoyable event or experience is ruined as soon as a woman sees photos of herself. This can lead a person to delete precious moments, avoid pictures in the future, and even trigger a return to quick-fix, restrictive dieting.

But does that solve the deeper issues women are experiencing? We say no.

That's why, in today's episode, we share some real-life solutions to help you feel more comfortable with photos and a little more at peace with your body.

But before you click play, Balance365 Coaching is opening up again in September. If you're ready to join us, this is your chance! Get on the waitlist here to get early access to spots.

Key Points

Reasons we may not like photos of ourselves
The mirror-image effect and why full-body photos can feel jarring
How to move past panic when you see a photo you don't like

Episode 225: Does Losing Weight Make You A Bad Feminist? (Reshare) Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

Episode Overview

Can you call yourself a feminist and still want weight loss?

To help answer that question, we invited Grace Club founder Maggie Anderson for an exploration of feminism, weight loss, body autonomy, and how to create more compassion for yourself and others. Maggie is an avid learner and unlearner, a collaborator, community cultivator, yoga teacher, partner, and mother of two daughters.

In this reshared episode, you'll find a spirited discussion that will challenge you to examine your beliefs, think critically about the messages you are receiving, and really unpack what your relationship with your body means to you. Where do you stand in the pendulum swing of diet culture, body positivity, and body neutrality?

Get ready to dig deep with us.

And speaking of digging deep… Emotional eating is one of the top issues our Balance365 members report struggling with. If you need help digging into the root causes and want to learn how to create healthier coping mechanisms, check it out here: 3 Steps to End Emotional Eating Mini Course.

Key Points

Hey everyone! Over the next two weeks, we're diving into Type 2 Diabetes. 13% of the adult population is diabetic, and 90-95% of those cases are Type 2.

Half of those with a prediabetes diagnosis will develop Type 2 Diabetes within the next 5 years.

So this stuff is important!

Today we're talking with Jen's sister Janelle, a Registered Nurse and very recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Join us as we discuss what Type 2 diabetes is, dispel some myths, and help you assess your own risk factors.
