Episode Description
You don't have a genetics or mentabolism problem.
You have a limiting beliefs problem.
The body follows the brain. The brain follows the words you choose and beliefs you believe.
Say something enough times and it stops feeling like a story. It starts feeling like physics. It isn't.
In this session I walk through 7 lies I hear constantly from parents over 40 who can't make fat loss stick.
Each one feels like a fact. Each one is really a permission slip to not follow through.
We rewrite all 7 live, and every rewrite gets a Big 5 action attached so the new sentence doesn't just sound good. It becomes true.
A few things we get into:
• The "slow metabolism" myth, and why the gap between the slowest and fastest in your weight class is closer to a snack than a meal
• The client who kept losing the McDonald's drive-thru battle until she changed one thing (hint: it wasn't willpower)
• Why your genes load the gun but your behavior pulls the trigger
• The best fix for late-night snacking (you can't snack in your sleep)
• How to reset in the next 60 minutes instead of waiting for "Monday"
