    About Laura Tolosi
    Laura Tolosi is an Integrative Dietitian/non-diet weight loss coach, in the field for over 30 years, who has helped women release their difficult-to-lose weight and gain their body confidence back through my signature Ditch the Diet system.
    Her clients have often shared with her how she has helped to change their lives by listening and supporting them in ways no one else would.
    Her passion for all women is to be confident in their bodies and business, enjoying food that nourishes and tastes good too without feeling guilt or shame, has led her to working with amazing women, where she has taken through her signature process, support their emotional metabolism and helping them:
    Laura believes women can have it all, and she’s committed to their success so that they can make the impact on others that they are meant to do as well.
     
    What We Discuss In This Episode
    Laura explains emotional metabolism and how it plays a role in our physical metabolism.
    She outlines powerful tools including journaling, focusing on physical sensations of resistance, gratitude, and heart coherence to process emotions and regulate the nervous system for lasting weight loss success.
    Laura advocates listening to hunger and fullness cues and how foods make one feel rather than diets, believing this taps into the body's innate wisdom for health outside of rules and restrictions.
    Laura stressed the importance of reframing an occasional indulgence from "blowing it" to "how you eat now" and discussed supporting clients to quickly reset their routine to maintain sustainable changes long-term.
     Laura shares her approach when clients indulge despite knowing better - questioning underlying feelings and thoughts to help release guilt and get back on track by focusing on the present moment rather than the past.

    LLN Episode #247: Dr. Ola Kolawole – How to Successfully Lose Weight Even in Midlife With This Simple Strategy

    Grab your opportunity for a FREE call with Lynne https://calendly.com/lwadsworth/clarity-call
    About Dr. Ola Kolawole:
    Dr. Ola is a Board-Certified Family Medicine Doctor with over 15 years of expertise devoted to saving lives and restoring health. Her commitment to excellence led her to participate in Harvard's Blackburn Course in Obesity Medicine, further highlighting her dedication to combating obesity. She is also a member of the American college of Lifestyle Medicine, Beyond practicing medicine, Dr. Ola is a Speaker, and the Founder of EmpowerHer Wellness & Weight Loss Simplified—a Virtual Wellness and Weight Transformation Program dedicated to empowering busy women towards healthy weight loss and newfound confidence. She is married to her husband of 21 years and they have a son.
    What We Discuss In This Episode:
    Dr. Ola shares her 15+ years practicing family medicine. During that time, she noticed that her female patients had difficulty and struggles with weight loss. Additional courses led her to empower women holistically without medications or surgery. She founded Empower Her Wellness and Weight Loss Simplified.
    Dr. Ola's program balances spirit, mind and body per her Christian faith. Her "7S method" starts with surrendering to God, incorporating affirmations and scripture to develop a healthy mindset.
    Dr. Ola is a big proponent of time-blocking daily routines and prioritizing self-care through efficient meal-prepping and consistent habits. Forming new routines in 3 weeks can lead to lifestyle changes.
    A balanced diet featuring whole grains, proteins and healthy fats is crucial to health, though restrictive diets backfire. Meal-prepping empowers consistency while understanding nutrition's role in disease prevention.
    Seeing one's body as a God-given gift inspires gratitude, mindfulness and surrendering struggles to Him. Daily scripture, affirmations and prayer develop a healthy relationship with oneself and goals.

    About Dee Davidson:
    As a mother of two boys and an entrepreneur in the wellness industry for over two decades, Dee Davidson has dedicated herself to empowering women to reclaim their health. Through the Inspiring Women's Network and as chapter leader of the Boston Business Women's Network, she fosters supportive communities for women to connect and thrive.
     
    As a Board-Certified Functional Health Practitioner specializing in hormone health, Dee hosts the "Confidently Balance Your Hormones" podcast and write articles to provide actionable strategies for optimizing hormonal balance.
     
    Her passion for holistic wellness is informed by her love for the outdoors and travel, which inspires her to nurture both body and soul. Through coaching, community events, and educational resources, she aims to create environments where women feel empowered to prioritize their well-being and embrace their strength. With roles as a mother, entrepreneur, podcast host, and writer, she aspires to inspire women to unlock their potential and embrace vibrant health.
     
     
    What We Discuss In This Episode:
     
     
    Dee Davidson shares her personal journey with hormone imbalances, infertility, and weight challenges, and how that led her to study functional medicine and help other women with similar struggles.
     
     
    Dee explains why she believes in using comprehensive lab testing, such as the Dutch hormone test and GI map, to get a full picture of a client's health rather than relying on limited blood tests. She cautions against practitioners who make assumptions or recommendations based on symptoms alone without proper testing.
     
     
    Dee emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of health issues, not just treating the symptoms. She discusses how factors like diet, stress, sleep, and gut health can significantly impact hormone balance, and how addressing these foundational areas can often resolve many problems without the need for direct hormone interventions.
     
    We discuss the limitations of the conventional healthcare system, including doctors' reluctance to order comprehensive lab testing and their tendency to treat symptoms rather than underlying causes. They highlight the need for a more holistic, functional approach to healthcare, especially when it comes to women's hormonal health.
     
     
    Lynne shares her own experience with perimenopause and the challenges of getting proper support from her doctor. Dee emphasizes the importance of listening to one's own body and intuition, and working with a practitioner who can provide comprehensive testing and a personalized approach to addressing hormonal changes.
     
     
    Dee and Lynne discuss the role of faith in their lives and businesses, and the importance of being able to give back to those in need, even when it means sacrificing some financial gain. They share examples of how they've been able to support clients and employees in need, and the blessings they've experienced as a result.

    LLN Episode #244: Errin Smith - The Honest Truth Behind Food Addiction, Cravings And Emotional Eating

    Grab Your Opportunity for a Free Call With Lynne here.
     
    About Errin Smith:
    Errin Smith, also known as "That Health Chick" on Instagram is an avid health and fitness fanatic who is expert trained in health optimization for over 15 years, and has worked with world leading health experts such as Dr. Zach Bush MD, Dr. Christine Schaffner, Dr. Dan Pompa, Mark Groves and a list of high level celebrity health experts. She is also the founder, producer, and host of What We Crave: The Emotional Eating Summit. After 25 years of struggling with emotional eating, food addiction, and "shame fasting", Errin became obsessed with understanding the root cause of what it is that we are REALLY craving. She is on fire for cultivating real, beautiful, honest conversations that provide roadmaps to healing and how to make peace with food and ultimately yourself.
     
    What We Discuss In This Episode:
    Errin shares her upbringing with processed foods and dieting attempts, leading to emotional eating and weight gain. She hit rock bottom working excessively while numbing with keto foods, appearing "nine months pregnant." This inspired starting "What We Crave" to understand the root causes.
    She realized it was never about the food: The root causes behind cravings, emotional eating, food addiction, and binge eating.
    We have to honestly confront what we’re REALLY craving. When we get triggered, most of us point the finger at someone else.
    Errin shares how her abusive boss triggered overworking without boundaries, and her need for soothing with food.
    We should prioritize nourishment over dieting by consuming grass-fed proteins, superfoods, electrolytes and ashwagandha drops cortisol and inflammation naturally. Emotional eating stems from living problems like disconnection, not dietary issues.
