    083 Seasonal Affective Disorder and Winter Blues: Practical solutions for motivation, energy and mood with guest Lori Owens

    Do you feel your energy take a hit as soon as the days shorten and the temperatures drop? Do you find it hard to find motivation in the winter? Are you noticing that your mood varies a lot with the season? Down in the winter, happier in the spring? There is nothing wrong with you! You are simply human and as such, your body was created to respond with daylight. With the fall and winter season, your circadian rhythm follows the light, and we are programmed to slow down and enter a season of rest. This winter blues can be full blown depression (called clinical seasonal affective disorder) for 2–3% of Canadians and 5% of US adults will have clinical SAD in their lifetime. About 15% of Canadians and 10–20% of Americans will have at least a milder form (winter blues) in their lifetime. Whether you feel significantly different in the winter or not, you will want to hear the very practical tips Lori Owens shares in this episode. We talk about: - The difference between Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and winter blues - How to manage it - Healthy food swaps to meet those winter carbs cravings - Why we need to prioritize sleep - How to find the balance between maintaining connection with others and the fatigue from social events at the end of the year And more!   Download your free guide "The Best Winter Foods for Mood, Energy & Body composition" and receive my Healthy Holiday Support plan (includes emails, recipes, healthy swaps and weekly Q&As) at: https://bit.ly/nogainholidays   To create your personalized Healthy eating plan for the Holidays, book a Healthy Meals Coaching call here: https://bit.ly/Healthymealscall     About Lori Owens: Lori Owens is the host of Practical Solutions for PTSD.

You are trying to eat more protein, and honestly, you are EXHAUSTED, and on top of that you are not seeing the results with your body. You know its not working.

    081 Do you really have no time to work out or is it an excuse? 7 strategies to fit strength training for the busy mom in her 40s

    You are a woman over 40 with a job, a business, kids and their activities, and you know this is the time to invest in your health, in particular, strength training.  But between the meal prep, the work hours, the kids schooling and activities and being a wife, it feels like there isn't enough hours in a day. I totally get it. Life is full and your schedule is packed. But is it really that you don't have time to work out, or could it be an excuse? Mama, let's have a loving straight talk today okay? In this episode we check in to see if it is an excuse we are using because it's uncomfortable to change - and really difficult to turn something new into a routine -  or if it really is a lack of time.  So today, I share 7 (not 3, not 5 but 7) strategies to make strength training fit in your packed schedule as a busy mom, so that you find a way to workout, to lift weight, to get stronger, and to change your body composition for less body fat and more muscle so you can look bangin' in a bikini,...  But most of all, so you can rise to be the strong and active mama you want to be way in your old age. Are you with me? Press play for the 7 strategies to fit strength training in your busy schedule AND do a mindset check.  When I decided that "no time to workout" was an excuse, I finally got out of my own way and got insanely consistent at the gym.    And remember: strength training without the proper nutrition will NOT get you the results you are desiring. Losing belly fat and building muscle and creating a toned defined look happens when you feed yourself properly. So if you want to know how to eat enough protein, when, and what to eat to lose belly fat, and start to be consistent with healthy eating so you can finally see the results, I invite you to book a Healthy Meals Coaching call.  I will help you create a simple plan to start eating well consistently.

    079 Stop running so much! Why you need strength training if you want to lose weight over 40

    I keep thinking about this man I coached a few weeks ago who wants to lose weight and has not been able to. He said to me: “I was joking with my children and telling them that according to my app, with the calories I eat I should even exist” Wow when you think about the hidden meaning behind that, it hits. He was working on eating less, trying to do less carbs, running all week, not sleeping well. And despite the fact that it wasn’t working, that the weight would not let off, he just kept doubling down on eating less and restricting. I see this pattern so often and today I want you to hear me say what I tell people I coach. This approach to weight loss isn’t working. Not only that but it is exhausting you, depleting you, and causing the opposite of what you’re looking for, This episode is for all of you who are pushing harder, constantly trying to restrict calories and trying to run your body into disintegration. I am so passionate about showing you a better way. A way to STRENGTH and not shrinkage. A way to eating more of the food that does you good. A way to exercise that leads to being healthier as you get older. And a way that makes you look better. So, lets talk about why you NEED strength training: - for longevity and healthspan - for a faster metabolism - for getting stronger - for a leaner physique - for the toned definition you want - for confidence And friend, strength training alone will not result in the body you want. But strength training with consistency in eating healthy, high-protein meals will. If you are done trying to eat less, you feel exhausted and not getting in better shape, go to https://bit.ly/Healthymealscall to book a chat with me.
