In this episode, we delve into the crucial role mindset plays in the coaching process, particularly when dealing with conditions like Hashimoto's and PCOS. While nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle management are important components, we discover that 80% of the transformation lies in redefining our mental outlook. Join us as we explore the prevalence of mindset coaching, the impact of limiting beliefs, and the journey to breaking free from the dieter's mindset.

Key Points:

  5. Redefining Nutrition and Health: Embracing the need to redefine our nutrition, unpack the dieter's mindset, and create a balanced and enjoyable approach to food and lifestyle.
  6. The Impact of Diet Culture: Recognizing the negative cycle of restriction, guilt, and dissatisfaction with food and body image perpetuated by diet culture.
  7. Trusting Your Body's Wisdom: Building trust with our bodies and understanding that symptoms are not personal attacks but signals our bodies use to keep us safe.
  8. The Journey of Redefinition: Embracing the fact that redefining our mind, nutrition, and health is a continuous practice that requires time and commitment.
