KEY TAKEAWAYS
Mindset is a muscle and having a growth mindset can make all the difference
We can all control how we show up and how we perceive things
If you don’t create your future self it will be created for you
Everything starts with mindset and when you are in a place where you don’t think you are good enough you hold yourself back
When failure isn’t an option and your ‘why’ is so big you find a way to make it happen
There are a range of factors that can get in the way of weight loss
Stress lowers serotonin and leads to cravings for sugar and can cause insulin resistance so you feel hungrier
We have made it acceptable to have more body fat but fat is not benign it has its own endocrine system making you more inflamed and causing more toxins in your system
Toxins lower your metabolic rate and cause hormone disruption
If you are extreme dieting and doing lots of cardio you are damaging your metabolism and slowing your metabolic rate
We need to look at how we use diets and learn to use them therapeutically in the short term to help understand what we should put into our bodies every day to achieve good health
You have to detox to lose fat and be able to reset
Get everything out of your diet and find your new normal through bringing things back one by one and understanding what affects you
Make the commitment to your future self that you are the most important thing

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘We need to use diets to connect the dots so we know what we should be eating, what works best for us’

‘It helps to really un-process your diet’

‘It is critical that we all think about what is ours to do and how we show up because that’s what we have control of’
