Ep 148: Create your Successful Weight Mindset for 2024

Did you know that approximately 10 million individuals in the United States alone suffer from osteoporosis, and a staggering 44 million have low bone density?

Maybe you have been struggling with your own bone health--or like me-- have had a diagnosis but not had much help from your doctor other than a prescription and a pat on the back, "Take some calcium every day and come back in 3 years."...What?!!

I was so frustrated by the lack of information and help with regards to how to improve my bone health available from my health care plan that I started looking for more answers and luckily, I found them, "Eureka!".

In today’s episode, I sit down with the renowned Kevin Ellis, also known as The Bone Coach and together, we unravel the mysteries surrounding bone health and explore practical steps to enhance your bone strength, especially as we age.

Kevin also walks us through the critical factors that demand our attention for improved bone health. He also provides actionable steps you can take right now to start building a foundation for stronger bones.

In this episode, he also debunks common misconceptions about our bones and bone health, offering clarity on what truly matters.

If you care about your bone health and want to invest in a stronger future for your bones, this episode is a must-listen.

So, grab your vertebrae and come on in.

Happy Anniversary!!

It's been now three years since we began our Thin Thinking podcast and we have grown into an amazing worldwide gathering place to get the mindset we need for long-term weight management, self-management, and health management--with the inspiration and motivation to keep going and keep believing in ourselves in this area of our lives.

THANK YOU for being a part of this amazing movement.

As we celebrate this milestone, in today’s episode, we're diving deep into a topic that resonates with many: breaking free from the self-abusive relationship we often cultivate with ourselves.

Join us for a special episode where we confront the harsh reality of negative self-talk and the impact it has on our weight struggles. It's time to rewrite the script, replacing cruelty with kindness and embarking on a transformative journey of self-compassion.

We're peeling back the layers of self-abuse to reveal a gentler, more nurturing inner dialogue—one that empowers you to release weight from the inside out.

So, put on your party hats and step inside our celebration of the third anniversary of the Thin Thinking Podcast.

Together, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and compassion that transcends societal expectations. Tune in and be part of this empowering conversation.

And thank you for being an essential part of our community. Here's to another year of growth, self-love, and transformation!

Weight maintenance. It seems so distant and unachievable when we are struggling with weight. That wonderful state of maintaining your ideal weight forever.

For many of us--no matter how close or far away reaching our weight goal is, maintenance is something we think, "I'll worry about it when I get there--if I ever get there!"

But preparing mentally for maintenance ahead of time is so important--not only because our mind will focus more confidently when it knows where it's going but also the transition into this new way of being can be a multi-layered mental and physical event that needs steady navigation.

In today’s episode, we're delving deep into the crucial yet often overlooked aspect of weight management – the art of preparing for maintenance. It's not merely about shedding pounds; it's about fostering a mindset that sets the stage for sustained success.

Join me as we unravel the steps to prepare your mind for the journey of maintaining your ideal weight like a master. It's not just about arriving; it's about embracing the confidence that you can stay there and truly believing it's well within your reach.

Tune in, join the conversation and let’s navigate the intricacies of maintaining a healthy weight with a newfound perspective. Your sustainable wellness journey awaits, so come on in!

Sometimes when we are making change we need to be inspired by others who have been trailblazing the courageous road ahead of us. That is why I am excited about sharing this powerful interview.

In today's inspiring episode, I had the pleasure of connecting with Rocio Pena from Melbourne, Australia, whose journey is a testament to the power of inner transformation and the unwavering commitment to redefine oneself.

We dive into Rocio's lifelong struggle with weight, exploring her experiences, including her decision to undergo bariatric surgery. However, what sets her story apart is the remarkable shift she made from focusing solely on external changes to initiating a profound transformation from within.

Over the past year, Rocio has released an astonishing 95 pounds, all while reshaping her identity and the new life she envisions for herself.

We also dive deep in so many topics, including Rocio's innovative approach to determining her ideal weight. Instead of relying on conventional charts, she shares her experience with using a DEXA scan to gain a deeper understanding of her body. The insights she shares are nothing short of fascinating.

So, join me in this compelling episode from down under. Together, let's explore the power of self-discovery and the incredible possibilities that unfold when we embark on the journey of true transformation.
