Why do we feel shame so heavily around gaining weight back after losing some?There is an explanation for this when we think about the messages we receive about weight throughout our lives, but those external messages don’t actually mean anything about your worth at all. I’m making it my mission to release you of the shame surrounding weight gain. In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, I’m unpacking how to separate your body from your self-worth. I really think it’s time we stopped shaming ourselves for gaining weight back and started working on our self-love, self-compassion, and self-worth at any weight. Topics covered in this episode include:Why gaining weight back makes us feel shame How to get out of your own head Reaching a healthy mindset to lose weight from Separating your self-worth from your body It’s easier to love yourself when you’ve reached your goal and you’re maintaining the weight you want; it’s harder to love yourself when you’re not. That’s the work we need to do, and it starts

Do you feel like you’re allowed to lose weight?Not too long ago, I started noticing that there’s a lot of messaging surfacing online telling women that it’s not okay to lose weight. Women (especially celebrities) who lose weight come under a huge amount of fire and are shamed by other women for their decisions. Don’t women face enough shame already without us adding this to their plates?Here’s the thing. I think it often starts with good intentions from women who have had negative experiences with weight loss and don’t want anyone else to go through it. The problem is, it goes too far when we try to tell other adult women how to live their lives. Only you know what’s best for you, and guess what? If weight loss is part of what’s best for you, that’s okay! If you’re worried about how other people will react to your weight loss, use this episode to help you navigate those conversations. Topics covered in this episode include:How to support women without contributing to shameful messagesWhy you’re allowed to los

“Failure is the information you need to get where you’re going.” -Rick RubinI heard this quote as I was listening to Rick Rubin’s audiobook and it got me thinking about how we approach our relationships with failure.

How much time do you spend out in nature?When I started spending more time in nature, I noticed a huge improvement in how I felt and now it’s something that I prioritize all year round. For me, it usually looks like taking my dog for a walk around the neighborhood or at the park, but for you it might look like eating your lunch on the patio, spending time by the lake or the ocean, taking a quick walk on your lunch break, or something else entirely! Often we forget to reverse-engineer what we’re doing when we feel great so that we can remember how to recreate it when we don’t feel so good. Spending time in nature is one of those things for me, and I hope it will be for you too. In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, I’m sharing the benefits of spending time in nature and some ideas to help get you outside even if it’s tricky with your schedule. Topics covered in this episode include:The benefits of spending more time in nature How to find time to get outside Ways to spend more time in nature witho

We’re talking about something a little different in this episode, and that’s shame around reproductive struggles. This looks different for everyone. For some it might be going through IVF, for others, it could be experiencing a miscarriage, or maybe making the decision not to have children.
