    192 What stress does to your body

    Stress literally slows down weight loss. Stress impairs our metabolic health, increases unhealthy (visceral) fat, disrupts sleep, increases appetite, makes us more prone to emotional eating, and reduces our quality of life. In this episode Dr Lucy and Dr Mary dive into stress management, and how you can greatly reduce the amount of stress you experience, and its negative impact with the right tools and simple mindset skills.

    191 Emotional eating and how to stop it

    191 Emotional eating and how to stop it

    Breaking free from emotional eating is essential to long term health and wellness, and it can be done - with the right tools. Often, we do not understand why we use food to deal with emotions and assume it is a lack of willpower.  Emotional eating is a common trap, it provides short term comfort, at the expense of our health and peace of mind. In this episode Dr Lucy and Dr Mary discuss the root causes of emotional eating, how it results from our brain's survival mechanism to cope with uncomfortable feelings. You will learn the powerful tools you need to break free from the emotional eating cage. Develop your awareness of your “P.H.A.L.T” triggers, and learn that willpower is not the solution. Instead, you can develop a healthy set of mindset tools that unshackle you from emotional eating, so you can live your best and healthiest life.

    190 Why am I so hungry?

    190 Why am I so hungry?

    Getting back control of hunger is crucial for weight loss. There are many misconceptions surrounding hunger. Contrary to popular belief, hunger is not about the size of your stomach or sheer willpower. Instead, it's hormonally driven, with important hormonal players like peptide YY, cholecystokinin, insulin, leptin and ghrelin all working together to signal when to stop eating.  In this episode Dr Lucy and Dr Mary break it down in a very easy to understand way. Gain a deeper understanding of hunger, hormones, and the best strategies for healthy and long-lasting weight management.
