    Eating Foods You Actually Like While Losing Weight with Past Clients, Justin and Nicole

    Send us Fan Mail What if losing weight didn’t require giving up the foods you love, obsessing over every bite, or relying on willpower? In this episode, I’m joined by two very special guests: a husband-and-wife couple who have worked with me through both my group coaching program and 1:1 coaching. And their transformation is about SO much more than the number on the scale. Together, they’ve lost over 30 pounds, but more importantly, they’ve completely changed the way they think about food, exercise, and taking care of themselves. They no longer live with constant food noise. They’ve learned how to eat foods they genuinely enjoy while still making progress. They’re consistently working out, drinking significantly more water, and (perhaps most importantly) they’ve developed a mindset that allows their healthy habits to actually fit into their lives. In this conversation, they share what it was really like to go through the coaching process, what changed for them, and why they believe working with a coach made such a difference. In this episode, we talk about Their lives and relationship with food before coachingWhat made them decide they were ready to do something differentlyThe mindset shifts that changed everything for themHow they went from struggling with food noise to feeling free around foodHow they learned to eat foods they love without feeling like they were “off track”What changed with their exercise habits and consistencyHow something as simple as drinking more water became a natural part of their lifestyleTheir experience working with me in both group coaching and 1:1 coachingWhy accountability and having someone guide you through the process can make such a differenceThe changes they’ve made that they know they can maintain long-termAnd, of course, their incredible 30+ pound combined weight lossWhat I love most about their story is that they didn't just learn how to “be good” long enough to lose weight. They learned how to live differently. They've built habits they actually enjoy. They've changed the way they think about food. They've stopped allowing food to take up so much mental space. And they've learned how to take care of themselves without feeling like they're constantly dieting. That is the kind of transformation I want for every woman I work with. Because the goal isn't to spend the rest of your life trying harder. The goal is to create a lifestyle where taking care of yourself becomes something you know how to do, and something you actually enjoy. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting over, constantly thinking about food, struggling with consistency, or believing you have to be more restrictive to see results, I hope this conversation helps you see what is possible when you stop trying to do it all on your own. You don't need more willpower. You need the right tools, support, and a strategy that actually works for your life. Listen to this episode to hear their story and get a behind-the-scenes look at what can happen when you decide to stop starting over and finally learn how to create lasting change. — I would love to work with you to give you these same results!

    The Connection Between Your Slow Metabolism and Your Sugar Cravings

    Send us Fan Mail Do you feel like you have a constant battle with sugar cravings? You tell yourself you need more willpower, try to avoid sweets entirely, or promise yourself you’ll “be good” tomorrow… but the cravings keep coming back. What if the problem isn’t your willpower at all? In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between sugar cravings, metabolism, blood sugar, and how well your body is being fueled. Your body is constantly working to maintain energy and balance, and sometimes those intense cravings for something sweet are your body’s way of asking for quick, easily available energy. I’m breaking down why under-eating, skipping meals, restrictive dieting, and building meals that aren’t satisfying enough can all contribute to the cycle of energy crash → sugar craving → quick energy → temporary relief → another craving. I want you to stop seeing your cravings as proof that you have no self-control, and instead, start looking at them as information. In this episode, you’ll learn: What metabolism actually has to do with sugar cravingsWhy your body may crave quick sources of energyHow under-fueling can make cravings strongerThe connection between restrictive dieting and sugar cravingsWhy fighting cravings with willpower isn't always the solutionHow to start addressing the root cause of your cravings instead of constantly trying to resist themIf you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly fighting your sweet tooth, this episode will help you start looking at your cravings through a completely different lens. Your cravings aren't necessarily the problem. They may be the clue. — JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR THE FOOD NOISE BOOTCAMP!  Coming Fall 2026: https://laurabhealthy.myflodesk.com/foodnoisebootcamp  — 💌 Connect With Laura: Website: Health Coach for Teachers & Busy, Working WomenInstagram: LAURA B. | Teacher turned Health Coach | Podcaster🎙️ (@laura.b.healthy) • Instagram photos and videosTikTok: Laura B. | Health Coach (@laura.b.healthy) | TikTok— Topics: sugar cravings, metabolism, blood sugar, food cravings, sweet tooth, healthy eating, protein, fiber, balanced meals, restrictive dieting, weight loss, nutrition, overeating, food noise, hunger, appetite, metabolism and weight loss

    Building Healthy Habits That Actually Stick with Previous Client, Alison

    Send us Fan Mail What does it actually look like to stop obsessing over food? In this special episode, I'm joined by one of my past clients as she shares her journey from constantly thinking about food to living with freedom, confidence, and sustainable healthy habits. When we first started working together, she struggled with food noise, an all-or-nothing mindset, inconsistency, and feeling like she always had to "start over" after vacations, holidays, or weekends. Today, her relationship with food looks completely different. In our conversation, she shares what changed, the habits that made the biggest difference, and why this transformation had nothing to do with more willpower or another restrictive diet. If you've ever wondered whether it's actually possible to stop thinking about food all day, this episode will show you what's possible. In This Episode, We Discuss: What food noise felt like before coachingHow her all-or-nothing mindset kept her stuckThe biggest mindset shifts that changed everythingWhy understanding nutrition made healthy choices feel easierHow she built consistency with drinking water and exercisingWhat changed about her relationship with vacations and holidaysHow she now maintains healthy habits without feeling restrictedThe freedom that comes from no longer constantly thinking about foodAdvice she would give someone who's struggling with food noise todayKey Takeaway The goal isn't to have perfect habits. The goal is to build habits that become your normal. When you address the root causes behind food noise and create sustainable routines, healthy choices stop feeling like a constant battle. Lasting change comes from understanding your body, shifting your mindset, and building habits you can maintain for life. — I would love to work with you to give you these same results!
