You tell yourself, "it will all be OK", because intuitively you know that's the "right" thing to say, and you really want to feel that way . . . OK with how it all turns out, regardless. But why doesn't that work a lot of the time? Why, even after you say over and over again, "it will all be OK", you DON'T FEEL OK? There are three reasons I believe we do this. Obsess about how something will or will not turn out, despite telling ourselves to "let it go". Curious? Push play and join me as we break it down! Also . . . I mention in the podcast for you to SAVE THE DATE: January 10, 2020. There will be a special one-time training that YOU will be invited to. Stay tuned for more details as it gets closer!

Yah, the title is a bit dramatic, but you've likely never considered this as ever being something that could be detrimental to your health!  Especially since our modern lifestyle more than embraces it. Not that it is the only thing - but if your stressor bucket (or stress baseline) is already near-full, this can definitely contribute to it overflowing and wreaking havoc on your hormones and your overall health. What is it? Well join me on this episode and we'll chat about it! Also . . . I mention in the podcast for you to SAVE THE DATE: January 10, 2020.

You want to STOP doing this or that - over drinking, over eating, under-exercising, whatever. And you tell yourself that you really need to stop . . . but despite the logic, you find yourself going directly against that logic. There is a really good reason why the brain does this, and a really "simple" way to fix it. And using the example of drinking a little too much - or more than you'd like - is a great place to illustrate it. This episode is unique to my previous episodes because I take you behind the curtain - you'll be a fly on the wall in one of my private coaching sessions (of course, the client's participation has been removed to preserve confidentiality).   Does this over drinking example describe you? You'll get some value out of this episode. Not you? The value will translate to anything else in your life you find that you want to stop doing (or start) but just can't seem to get traction. It's not therapy or treatment; rather, it's sound coaching that can be a game-changer. Not part of my FB Tribe yet?

Why is it that we (you?!) can have the BEST of intentions with starting an exercise plan, eating better - or even improving relationships - and no matter how well-intentioned and how successfully we start off, we find ourselves right back into our old habits? Actually, there's a really good reason for this. And a really easy way to create new habits without wrestling with your willpower.  Think about it. What if you could easily create the habits that would propel your health and physique to a whole new level? That's exactly what will cover in this episode.

Today we cover the FIVE key habits that lay the foundation for ANYTHING you want to accomplish with your health and fitness. Especially if you want your results to be long term. Lose body fat - yup.

No matter your goal, these five habits must be given attention on a regular basis. And I package them up neatly in this power-packed episode :-) By the way, I presented these five habits in a "Five Day Challenge" format with each day covering a new "challenge" in my Private Facebook Group (and I even demonstrated a workout move in my own home gym!).

It's embarrassing. As a sought-after health consultant I had a toxic stressor right under my nose and it wasn't even on my radar. That is, until about 8 months ago.  I've had breast implants for nearly 13 years and it turns out my body has been a saint in dealing with the toxicity. But, it's also been "talking" to me all along the way. Dropping subtle clues that something wasn't quite right.  I'll save the rest for the episode - symptoms, the help I got, what I did about it, and why.  If you don't have implants, this episode can still be for you. Odds are you know someone who does, or someone who's been thinking about it. If not, well, it's a lesson in "finding the root cause" to what might be perpetuating your health and fitness challenges.  Let's do this!

Have you heard of telomeres? Well, I had mine tested and I'll share with you what my results were (partial spoiler alert: It wasn't as good as I thought it would be). What are telomeres?? Not only will I explain what they are in this episode, but we'll take a look at what kind of insight they might have into your health and wellness.  Plus, if you haven't had an opportunity to get on the waitlist for more information on my upcoming course The Top Five Blood Tests for Women: How to Order, Understand, & Monitor make sure you do!

It comes up, in some form, at once a week - a question related to hypothyroid or the thyroid in general. But there is a lot of confusion around how to test it, and how it's connected to other organs and systems in the body. Fatigue, hair loss and hair thinning, low cold tolerance, constipation, and stubborn fat loss are symptoms that can have you running to the doc and asking, "can you check my thyroid?".  But all too often, that request has you getting only a portion of your thyroid story.  In today's episode I simply open up a conversation about thyroid and shed some light on thyroid function and testing so you have a jump start on your own research and discoveries into your own health. If this kind of thing leaves you wanting more, then make sure to go to www.MichelleFit.com/bloodtests and get on the waitlist for my upcoming course: Top 5 Blood Tests for Women: How to Order, Understand and Monitor  I can't wait!  Also, if you have questions or need further information, be sure to leave me a voicemail right from my homepage at www.MichelleFit.com or click on the CONTACT tab from the homepage and drop me an email.  I'd love to hear from you!

Seems simple, but this is truly one of the best little tools in your tool box. Why? It forces you to think about things outside the box. Especially when it's something that you "believe". And beliefs are nothing more than thoughts that we think, repeatedly. When we get "stuck" in a belief or thought process, we tend to just let it sit . . .  Whether that's how you eat, how you workout, or your thoughts about particular people or relationships, when you question everything you begin to look at it in a new light - which can shift your perspective and open up opportunities for  - greater health - less stress - increased growth - beneficial change So join me as we walk through what this means, and give examples of exactly how to question things. I guarantee you'll have at least one aha moment. If not, you can have your money back. And since this podcast is free, you know what that means ;-) If you'd like to take your health to the next level, then get on the waitlist for my upcoming course: How to Order, Understand, and Monitor the Top Five Blood Tests for Women inside my online coaching Academy.  Get empowered by taking the reins of your health and make a difference in how you feel (and as a bonus, how you look!).  Plus, contact me directly by going to www.MichelleFit.com and click on the "contact" tab, or leave me a voicemail using the pop-up green tab.

High carb, low carb . . . why all the focus on carbs? Is it all hype, or are there some things we should consider?  Why is there a difference between people that can eat all the "carbs" they want, and others just look at carbs and get bloated and gain weight? That's referred to as "carb tolerance". There are several things that can make up your carb tolerance. And, there's some anecdotal evidence that points to the ability to even alter your carb tolerance, with some basic lifestyle changes.  So we dig into everything surrounding the idea of carbohydrates - and start to break down the "bad rap" that's often associated with those energy-packed carbs. Consider diving deeper into your health by learning about your own blood work, order your own blood work (from the top five "batches" I encourage my clients to order), and even how to work with your doctor in the evolving world of healthcare, then make sure you're on the waitlist for the January 2018 release of our COURSE: Top Five Blood Tests For Women How to Order, Understand, and Monitor Them . . .  As well as the opportunity to work with ME in an affordable, online coaching format with the January 2018 BETA release of the Modern Health Academy (stay tuned for more info!)

The Beyond Burning Fat Podcast is brought to you by: www.MichelleFit.com Today’s Show: Can You “Self-Love” Your Way to a Lower Body Fat?   We’ll answer that question at the end but first, we’ll go through three practical exercises that have you beginning to cultivate more love for yourself.

So, these three exercises actually trick you into brining up loving feelings for yourself – or feelings associated with love, like understanding, affection, tenderness, and trust.

Well, not to worry. In this episode we highlight how to bring some of the benefits of meditation, non-traditional style. But if you’ve struggled with classic meditation, yet want to embrace it – there’s a few tips in here that can help, too.

We’ll discuss a balanced view, and bring in some new insights from the book THE DORITO EFFECT by Mark Schatzker. This may very well re-shape your thoughts around calories!

Of course, we approach it a bit differently than the norm – with some more abstract approaches to bedtime, as well as the standards as a great reminder. It may just be what’s currently blocking you from your health goals.

But how does not getting enough, or good quality actually affect your waistline or your pant size? We discuss this in Part One, as well as highlight a neuroscientist’s discovery on why sleep is so important (you might not know!) and pose 7 questions to assess your sleep.

What should you look for? Should you even supplement? And if so, how much should you take? This week’s discussion will give you some solid roots in the choice that’s best for you.    

It’s an awful trap – If you eat “normal” or decrease your exercise, you gain weight! Is there a way out? What does it take to get to a healthy place where going on vacation or taking a break from exercise doesn’t have you going up a pant size?

Put another way: Your physique is a result of what you do (or don’t do) 80% of the time. How do you apply this rule, and who might this rule not work for? We answer those Q’s.
