Have you ever wondered why some people bounce so quickly after setbacks, but you just can’t seem to stick to the plan?  Do you believe that things are happening TO you or happening FOR you? Do you see setbacks as part of the process, things that you can learn from? Or insurmountable obstacles If you feel stuck in a never-ending loop of starting on Mondays, going strong for 2 weeks only to end up where you started, this episode is for you. We’re going to look at beliefs that are holding you back and my goal for this episode is to provide a powerful reframe that will help you to never see things the same. Here's what you will hear: Mindset shift #1 : Your age is not a doom sentenceMindset shift #2: It's not failure, it's a data pointMindset shift #3: Your weight is an indicator, not a dictatorMindset shift #4: The bleep on the radar If you are a lifetime dieter, and have tried all the diets under the sun, these mindset shifts will get you out of the rut. You’re in a strange head space because of what dieting is doing to your emotions. Dieting trains you to follow rules. Dieting trains you to expect perfect adherence. Dieting trains you to focus on the outcome instead of the process. Everything will change when you work with a coach like me who partners with you, problem-solve with you when you struggle and help you repeat what works when you succeed.    Ready to take action?

If you measure the wrong thing, you will do the wrong thing. In the 90s, Gordon Bethune saved Continental airlines from bankruptcy with this principle. The airline was tanking and they put all their effort in the goal to increase profitability. In order to do that, the airline was focused on measuring the cost of different operations in order to cut down. When Bethune took over, he changed the metrics to measure from cost of operations, to metrics related to customer satisfaction such as number of luggage lost, number of complaints and on-time arrival. With this shift, Bethune brought continental from the brink of bankruptcy to being the top leading airline. From worst to first, simply by looking at the right metrics. Same goal, different metrics, opposite outcomes. What if your ability to turn your health around depended simply on shifting what you're tracking?

PhD scientist addicted to work, drinking too much and driven by anxiety, I had ALL the bad habits. At 35, I woke up to the irony of working in the lab on an anti-aging treatment, all the while aging faster because of my lifestyle. I quit lying, quit drinking, quit smoking, quit eating sugar. But it was too late and my career in research ended in a burn out. Deep in the science of aging, focused on meaning and used longevity lifestyles to bring myself back to life. I felt better than ever: new peaks in my mental capacity, high and stable energy all day, I felt unstoppable. All thanks to turning my habits around. I found a new path, helping others. A lot of life happened. I got my functional health coach certification, started a business, had 2 kids,… Only to find myself fat and getting weaker. While my baby was in the hospital, I knew I had to level up my longevity game by creating the habits to get a strong and lean body. I didn’t wait for her to get out of the hospital, I went to work. Through my experience in research and in life, I have learned that prevention is better than medication. It has become my life mission to offer people a step-by-step method to help them create life-giving habits and make it stupid-easy for them. I invite you to come listen to my story today, not just so you know who’s behind the mic, but also so that you see I am someone just like you. If I overcame drinking, smoking, a sugar dependence, overworking, anxiety, depression and loneliness, so can you. You are capable of so much more.   Ready to take action?
