This week on “Feed Your Health,” I do a deep dive into understanding limiting beliefs and the resistance that shows up when we try to adopt new behaviors. I share some personal stories, talk about the beliefs holding me back and share how I will push myself in the New Year. I also break down the exact steps to let go of your limiting beliefs, shift your perspective and create new ones. This is a great episode to start the New year and help you stay on track with those new body transformation goals or habits you’re working toward. You definitely won’t want to miss this! Thank you so much for listening and Happy New Year!  (This episode was also recorded as a video and will be out soon on my new Youtube Channel!)

I am so excited about this episode. I have the fabulous Sabrina Gilbert on the podcast, and we talk about eating in moderation, understanding your relationship with food, and what balanced eating can actually look like. Sabrina is certified in Moderation365, and we discuss some of the foundations she works clients through on their transformational journeys. She shares her story of overindulging and getting sucked into the deprivation and indulgence scale, discussing how she found her way out. She now coaches clients on how to navigate this negative diet pattern and helps them learn to eat normally. This episode is full of tangible tools and strategies to help people eat foods they love without overdoing it - mastering mindfulness and moderation. We also talk about why starting NOW is the perfect time because you will never have a moment in your life that isn’t busy. Sabrina and I share a sweet tooth and have learned ways to keep ourselves satisfied without ever feeling deprived. I am extra excited for this episode, not only because Sabrina is very well versed in what she is talking about but because I’m soon to be certified in Mod365 🤞and talking with her affirmed my appreciation for the methodology.

In this episode of “Feed Your Health,” I talk about the importance of strength at any age and ability with Coach Jen Cavallaro. Everyone deserves to be able to move comfortably in their body - and the right coach knows how to cater to your needs, no matter your age or history with movement. Jen works with women 40+, helping them ditch the fitness hamster wheel and build a stronger body for a stronger life. She advocates no more random workouts from a magazine and focuses on progressive overload. We discuss how to create structure with your workouts and fit it into your life. Building muscle is your insurance policy for aging with ease. It takes time, patience, and resilience. You’ll hear us talk about needing to push heavy weights and what that means for each individual. We also discuss other habits we’ve incorporated to support our weight training pursuits. Please leave a rating or review and subscribe if you loved this episode!

I love fresh starts - Monday is my favorite day of the week, and thinking about the New Year excites me. In this week’s episode of “Feed Your Health,” I have on the fabulous Dr. Karin Nordin - the founder and CEO of Body Brain Alliance with a Ph.D. in Health Behavior Change. In this episode, we discuss the different aspects of behavior change you can leverage when thinking about developing your New Year’s Resolutions and planning for your 2.0 Self. We discuss some challenges many people struggle with - self-judgment, unrealistic expectations, perfectionism, and fear of failure. Dr. Karin shares tips and perspective shifts to help you navigate that journey. I share some personal experiences with learning to get uncomfortable when adopting new challenging behaviors. We talk about what sorts of behaviors or skills might be needed to get to that next level self. You’ll hear us talk about different ways you can reflect on your years and create your NY goals. This was such a great episode, and I was beyond thrilled to have Dr. Karin share her expertise on the podcast with all of my listeners.  Please listen, share it with a friend, and leave a rating or review.  Links and Resources for this episode: Free Mini Course: Future Self Mapping -   https://bodybrainalliance.thrivecart.com/future-self-map/ Connect with Dr. Karin Nordin: Instagram @karinnordinphd - https://www.instagram.com/karinnordinphd/ Website - https://bodybrainalliance.com Let’s connect with Morgan!

This episode is about finding balance in a busy world and learning to slow down, prioritize what matters and develop the lifestyle habits that can get you losing weight, gaining energy, and feeling confident in your skin. I had a great discussion with podcast guest Lisa English, an NBHWC and Certified Integrative Health Practitioner. She works specifically with women over 40 as they navigate their health journeys. Lisa shares how she healed herself from chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, and gut issues. We dive deep into prioritizing ourselves, setting boundaries, and slowing down. She talks about the importance of sleep and how often you have to take care of yourself before weight loss, and body transformation is possible. We also discuss the need to cut out some of the noise and get back to the basics. It’s important to realize that things will always come up and that there will never be a perfect time to start. We talk about how working with a coach can speed up learning how to implement habits in real life when things are busy, chaotic, and stressful. If you can practice consistent discernment, self-care, and self-compassion during the holidays, you can successfully do it at any time.  This episode is such a good listen!

In this episode, I deep dive into developing your aspirational identity. I break it down into an actual list to show you the person who has already successfully achieved their weight loss transformation. What behaviors do they do? What is their mindset like? How do they show up? How do they handle challenges? When you start to visualize this person, you can begin to embody some of the behaviors and mindsets of this person. The more you think about this person - the easier it will be for you to adopt this new identity. Everybody who wants to make a change, or go through a transformation, will have to take on a new identity. Use this episode to help you as you begin to think about what you want in the New Year. Who will you have to become to achieve your goals? Please share this episode with all your friends and subscribe so you can come back to it again when you need it.

In this podcast episode, I am talking about longevity and the importance of following programs (or developing habits) that support long-term health. Today I have on special guest Patricia Hubbard, a Nutrition Coach with a background in sports psychology. We discuss everything that goes into creating lifestyle habits so you can do epic shit for the rest of your life! You’ll hear us cover some of the key things that impact your health and how important it is to develop a big-picture vision of what you want, and we dive deeper into multiple ways you can get in the way of your progress. You’ll hear some key takeaways about how stress eating - makes sense from a human experience perspective, and that’s why it can be so hard to overcome. We talk about how to overcome mindset resistance, getting uncomfortable and developing body and mind awareness. As we head into the holidays, I wanted to discuss why now is a perfect time to start a program and hire a coach.  If you like what you heard, please leave a rating or review, and share it with your friends!

I am so excited for this episode. In this week’s episode, I have on special guest, Dr. Sam Chernak. She helps women with chronic back pain overcome pain and get stronger to feel good in their bodies. She is a Physical Therapist and Back Pain Coach. She believes in focusing on Your Strongest Self - in ALL areas of life (Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually). We had an epic conversation full of tangents, laughter, and profound truths. We shared our personal stories and struggles with body image and dieting. We discussed thoughts on health and fitness industry BS (hint: the size of your body does not determine how healthy you are). One of the biggest things you might find most relatable is that we each struggle with perfectionism and the all-or-nothing mentality. In the episode, we drop tips on how to move forward if you also share this struggle. We touched on how to give yourself grace when you “fail.” If you struggle (or have struggled with) body image, perfectionism (in health and life in general), and the all-or-nothing mindset, you’re going to LOVE this episode!

You have two choices - spend the last 60 days of this year resting, recharging, and spending time with your loved ones. OR start your weight loss journey now. In this episode, I go over why starting now might make more sense. The holidays are the hardest part of the year - wouldn’t starting now help you build more confidence? Wouldn’t that feel really good come the new year? If you’re hesitating or on the fence about investing in yourself, this podcast is for you. I’m not going to tell you what to do, but I break down why now might be the best choice for your future self and your long-term success. There’s no guarantee that the motivation you have now will be there come January. Why bet on that? You can choose whatever direction you want to pursue - but in this episode, I do a deep dive into what that could look like.
