"The worst thing we can do and people do this is to be antagonistic and fight and complain and argumentative with them about it, which people do, and then take that home and rant about it at Facebook groups and the spouse and then lash out their kids. Because here's what I'm going to say, is that you're the one losing. At the end of the day, it's not them, and you're only going to feel worse because guess what really got you sick in the first place probably is all the psychological stress you've had in your life and then you're just reinforcing it. So like it's always going to be about controlling you, which is really the overarching and the fulcrum of what I teach people. Because challenges and difficulty, whether it's this or something else, is not going to change. It's all about working on what's inside and not being reactive, being more reflective, all that stuff.

So, whenever I'm working with someone, for example, I'm always making sure that whatever the changes I help create, whether it's from anxiety to confidence or whatever, the happiness, like whenever I help them get that result, we make sure that that becomes a part of their identity so that way it actually sticks long term."

"I work with a lot of women. Typically they are over 35, usually closer to 40. They are starting to feel the consequences of a lot of their choices from when they were in their twenties. For example, when I was in my 20's I was constantly exercising! I would literally exercise 3x a day and eat a potato. Not knowing that I would be paying the price later on. So we tend to have these behaviors and way of operating and we think that that is the way to go when in fact all we're doing is creating a much bigger problems for later. Often times people have adrenal dysfunction. They don't recognize it because they don't know how bad they feel and some of the symptoms to look for. People have digestive issues…only going to the bathroom once a week. That is not normal. They are tired, but they they don't know how tired they truly are. When we become a certain age, for example, like menopausal women are definitely the type a type of woman that I work with as well. I mean, I'm 50 years old, right? And I'm perimenopausal. So menopause, premenopausal women, people who have PCOS, any thing that really involves hormones. But also, as you'll hear in this episode, I talk about how the mind is such a large part of what I do as well, because if we don't change things within that subconscious mind. It is imperative that I help you to recognize your operating system and belief systems because if you don't, then you are always going to continue to do the same thing over and over and over again. And I help you to really bring that to the forefront so that you can rewire your brain and create a whole new reality. There's a lot to it and I love it!"

"I remember back then I developed a nervous tummy and would puke bile in the mornings. When it came time to get ready for school, I was a nervous wreck all the time, and I remember that time my mom even took me to the doctor. It was just it was just an awful, awful time and my sister and I, we would actually talk about that a little bit. And the doctor had to do something very uncomfortable and he said, I'm sorry, I have to do this and we still talk about that like, why was that even necessary? I don't know, it's just weird. So, the nervous stomach really became a huge problem when I was around eight years old.

"Balance, I think, is such a difficult thing for people to achieve because there are so much of this all or nothing mindset. So, there's this, you know, if I eat this, I'm bad or if I have that, I'm good, right and then we have this way of thinking and then we feel like we're sinking and then we feel like we're on top of the world.

And the problem is the molecule is too big to fit through the cells to get into your bloodstream, and it causes digestive disruption. Kelly would benefit from taking lactase digestive enzymes if she does want to have dairy." In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism, I had the pleasure of having the most amazing conversation with my dear friend and brilliant, Dr. Daniel Farkas, a functional medicine doctor, who specializes in gut health, neurotransmitters, and genetics. Some of the topics covered in the episode are: *Why certain genetic snps make you susceptible to certain food intolerances *What you can do with certain genetic snps - how you can work with and around them. *You may not have the ability to change your DNA and your genetics but you certainly can break the "cycle" and change your epigenetics.

"I used to like make up all these lies in my head and excuses. I was so skinny in high school, I was the cheerleader on the top of the mound and, you know, high school. I'm 53, by the way. High school started getting further and further away. Right. Sports stopped. I was a soccer player, played tennis, and was a cheerleader. I tried every sport. I was active! And then comes the full-time job. So for all the years, I blamed my industry, the food and event planning industry. But, you know, at that time, I also had a lot of death. So I lost a best friend. I lost a father a year apart. It just kept going and going and I blamed it on that. I look back, when I was working, I made the excuse....I'm so busy, I can't eat. But you know what? I didn't realize while I was in the catering companies, that I was doing quality control and eating all day long. Then would sit down and have lunch. Right. So again, my epiphany was emotional, but it was also. Habits went to hell, buh bye. My habits of life changed. But I didn't change my life. I just kept doing the same things. But not including the exercise. Not including the happiness, I used to have." Please join me in the amazing episode with my dear friend Adrienne. She tells her amazing weight loss story.

"The thing is when something like this happens and you are just put to a screeching halt unexpectedly, there's always gifts inside. I really could have been angry, pointed fingers, and hung on to that negative energy but I chose to see the the upside of it. Where where are the positives here and what are the gifts that are inside of this? And I'm really, really grateful to be able to be in a space in my life to to see things in that perspective." In this episode I share a very personal story about an injury that had recently occurred, how it woke me up to some things and generated awareness, in addition to all of the gifts that were inside of the unfortunate unexpected event.

"Most people would be like, Oh, you know, I'll just suck it up. It's not that big of a deal, but then they're life is miserable, and then what do they do? They go home and they eat their feelings because they're just so they're so upset and they they feel betrayed. There's no trust. And again, this isn't just about weight loss. This is about listening to yourself; recognizing your values because it's going to change your life." *Understanding what values actually are *Why You want to know what yours are. *How you can figure out what your's are.

"I hear the statement often and I want to help to give you some grace. So one of the things as a coach that I really help my clients with is a couple of things is always recalibrating their state of mind, always making sure that they are keeping their language in a place of desire and where they want to go, because the words that we say are very powerful. And one of the statements that I will hear is I am lazy and that shit just makes me cringe. Ok, here's the thing. You're not lazy and no one you really shouldn't say that. Like, it just doesn't sound very good coming out of people's mouths. First of all, but second, it's just recognizing that overwhelm is pretty much the root problem, which creates procrastination. Which then equals feeling lazy to you. Ok, so let me repeat that overwhelm is the true problem. And when you feel overwhelmed, what do you want to do? Oh, oh, forget, I'm just, yeah, I just can't right now. Yeah, I just can't. So then that creates a lack of wanting to do it. So you what? You procrastinate in doing it? But then in your mind, you feel like I am being lazy. So you're not lazy, so honestly, I would truthfully work really hard to divorce that statement from your language."

"I don't think that selling your car was a rash decision I think that was a full on hell yes. And you just knew that there was a big fat, "ah-ha", behind that. That was the vibe that I got from it. When you know you know...I think that we all know that we're meant for something greater. We just don't really tune into that feeling often because we get so stuck in the grind and doing the things that we think that we have to. Justl like you going to to work in the oil camp.

"One of the biggest cock blockers, for lack of better words that always gets in your way, makes you feel like you are failing all the time, is your conscious mind. I recognized early in my career, it was super important for me to be very strong, and be a very strong advocate in helping others understand why you do the things you do, why you think the way that you think, why you feel the way you feel, and I feel sharing this information with you will help to give you some grace. This is the reason why I became an NLP coach and LP certified. I'm also a hypnotherapist. Why is that? Well, it's a big, massive, huge, game-changing tool for my clients because dipping into that subconscious mind, which is really your goal-getter, is going to be massively important in the transformation."

"So they go from one job to another thinking that it's going to be different this time when in fact, it's the same outcome because their behaviors haven't changed because they haven't recognized that there is an issue within themselves that they need to change. So if you find that you are in this vicious cycle and it's exhausting. Trust me, it is absolutely exhausting to be in this continuous cycle. Then nothing is nothing changes unless something changes. So you're going to just kind of keep repeating that same old pattern and it's, you know, for me, it just became too painful because I had this desire to be somebody different. I had a desire to change. I had a desire to have more structure in my life. I had a desire to be more impactful to others in my life. I had a desire to be more consistent in my life.I had a desire to actually fucking grow. But because I was caught up in those patterns, nothing was going to change. Absolutely nothing was going to change. So what did I have to do? I had to own responsibility for a lot of my thinking thoughts, patterns, actions, and I finally said..."that's got to change."

"I had to go into that 30 days knowing this is not going to fix everything this 30 days. It's not this one month of effort. And then I win. I'm there. I hit every goal I've ever set. No, it was this really big thing of like, mentally, I had to just be aware this was this going to have to take more than that and it was going to take breaking bad habits while creating some new ones. And honestly, I think that's probably the hardest thing is I've had a lifetime of habits where I just wasn't even aware of how these food choices could affect me or sleep choices as you mentioned, sleep. I was I had no clue how these things could affect me in my life, internally and externally. And so I had a lifetime of habits that I had to really try very consciously to rework."

"What I say, one brain, two minds. There's actually I want to talk about three brains, because when I say one brain two minds, I'm talking about this conscious mind and the subconscious mind. I do a lot of subconscious work with my clients. For example, I'm working with somebody to stop smoking. We did some subconscious work there. I'm helping somebody with get off pop, which is another addiction. And that's been tremendous. You know, we just figured out today that she's been drinking for 43 years. And with some subconscious work, we've been able to really, really make significant changes and really do some cool things. So you've got the conscious mind, which is your goal setter, but your subconscious mind is really your goal getter. And the subconscious mind is really where a lot of what you do comes from. And just a fun fact for you. The subconscious mind is only seven years old. So a lot of the beliefs and decisions and things that you that you make were decided as a child, you know, around these impressionable adults and female or female family members and such as you've been around."

"Most people think that when they decide to lose weight that it's just all about calories in, calories out.....And and a lot of times they get defeated or feel like there's something wrong with them when it isn't working. Just because you consciously say, "Well, I'm going to lose weight, your body and the physiological cellular level is like, yeah, fuck you think again". The reason is, is because it doesn't feel safe. It's not going to release weight if it does not feel safe. And there's just no other way for me to to to describe that. It's just your body needs to not be so fucking stressed. And stress is caused by all kinds of things. And when I say stress, it's not just like work, work, stress. It's like underrating stress, overeating, stress. You know, the relationship stress, the shit you're listening to and watching on TV stress the lack of sleep stress. I mean, the stress, stress, stress, stress.

"What does being conscious mean exactly? Having that conscious awareness, what what does it mean to you? How can you describe that? How do you define it? I think it's people who are seekers, people who are looking for something more. Because oftentimes people get caught into this like this time restriction. But really, what I mean, I've heard and I'm sure you've probably shared this with me that time really doesn't exist. Right. So, you know, it's like you were just open and you were listening and you were following your gut and you were being guided, as you always have listened to that inner inner voice. It's not like there wasn't a fear or there wasn't like things that went wrong. But like, every time there is something that goes wrong, it just almost like gives me more power because then I'm like, well, that went wrong. And it was like the worst thing that could possibly happen. And I'm still OK and everything's still bad. And it's like life goes on, you know what I'm saying? You can always start again."

"I think we can never, always prepare, but we can have a playbook for ourselves. And if we can stay pretty close to that playbook, we're going to get to those results. We're going to lose weight. We're going to hold on to that. And I think your life, what you did in the past, you know, not eating or doing the twelve hundred calorie approach, you're doing this like shape thing like what's your relationship with food look like? Right.If you came from a background of dance gymnastics or like, man, you're so fixated on that. OK, I wave my one today and you're a size zero that you wanted to be or you weigh the one twenty. What in your life changes to day? Once we do that, nothing, nothing changes. You fit in those jeans. But guess what? You still got to go to work. You still might have a boss you don't like. You don't say so. So I really think a lot of those things, you know, we have to shift it. It's not if I lose weight, I'll be happy. It's if I'm happy, I'll lose weight. Right, right. Right. Well, I think it's it it is it's that like it's all encompassing. I think health goes into so many different wheels of life, like, are you in a financially good spot? I mean, you've had like some in-depth conversations together on it. And that's such something that we don't we don't work on where we're at. We've lost sight line to it. Right. The emotional health that like, are we fulfilled? Yes. And and I think coaches like what fills our bucket is filling others. But we have to make sure we set those bounds, too, because we'll run ourselves to the ground."

"If you are someone who always feels like you "fail" at the things you set out to do, you must read on because …you are not a failure..here's why. There is something in our brain that is called the RAS. The Reticular Activating System. The RAS is a bundle of nerves at our brainstem that filters out unnecessary information so the important stuff gets through. For example, the RAS is the reason you learn a new word and then start hearing it everywhere.... In the same way, the RAS seeks information that "validates" your beliefs even those that aren't serving us and we want to rid of. Your brain always wants to be "right" which is why you will always have this internal struggle. You know when you hear your inner voice say "well maybe it's not that bad after all"... your brain is trying to convince you to "just stay where you are..it's easier" ... In addition to that we could also go down the ego rabbit hole as well. The ego is very "fear based" - doesn't like "change" so therefore taking the leap of faith to change often never happens because your beliefs are also being validated by your RAS." In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism I share something about your brain that you may have never heard of...The Reticular Activating System. During this episode I share how your brain is sometimes (unknowingly) working against you and your goals. The great news is, you have the ability to change that!

Kind of go easy on the hormone because you need to consider the variables that affect. them.

"To speak to that person listening where this will be that pivotal moment. I get chills thinking of that because that was mine. I was seeing cognitive behavioral therapists. I was on depression, medication, anxiety medication. I was at sleep clinics because I had severe insomnia and everything shifted. When I finally found human design, I realized everything I was beating myself self up over all these years was exactly what I was meant to be bringing forward in this world. And it was my blueprint. So when I look at human design, really what we're looking at is our energetic blueprint. It's combining astrology, Western astrology." In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism, I have the honor and pleasure of speaking with Human Design Expert and Business Coach, Ashley Briana Eve. In this episode we talk all things Human Design! The different types, the foundation of it, and how it can truly change your life! Some of the topics covered in the episode are: What Human Design is and how it was created.

"This is where it hits our behavior patterns, how we respond to our triggers, this is everything. So the word neurotransmitters, neuro means nerves. Transmitters means how they transmit information. They're just wires with connections, so all the messages start in your brain or they start in your gut and then they zap across the wire and they go through your body and they tell your body what to do, what they tell it to go down, that they they turn and exciting things. They turn them on or they inhibit things and they turn them off. That's what your whole body basically is. You're a walking electrical chemical reaction. What makes it possible is things called neurotransmitters in some common ones would be like dopamine. A lot of people have heard of dopamine, people they call illicit drugs dope because it stimulates dopamine receptors. People who use crystal meth, heroin, cocaine, they're artificially stimulating dopamine receptors and they feel OK, feel great. I'm first for short periods of time, but then there's a heavy price to pay. So again, what you're seeing is those are some type of neurotransmitters that turn things down, that mellow you out, make you not feel anxious or depressed or anxiety or OCD or ATP or anything. Make you feel groovy. Right. Dopamine serotonin makes you go to sleep and stay asleep. And big surprise, digest your food properly. There's other stuff called GABA, too, as well. We've heard about other neurotransmitters, too, like adrenaline, also known as epinephrine. That cranks things up. It helps us deal with things. It helps the mother with the child pinned under the car, flip the car over and save the child. And that stuff really does happen. That's what the body's able to do" In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism, I had the pleasure of having the most amazing conversation with the brilliant, Dr. Daniel Farkas, a chiropractor and functional medicine doctor, who specializes in gut health, neurotransmitters, and genetics. Some of the topics covered in the episode are: *Your gut health and how it is responsible for your overall health and mental well being. *How being sensitive to certain foods can create inflammation throughout the body causing a whole slew of issues. *You may not have the ability to change your DNA and your genetics but you certainly can break the "cycle" and change your epigenetics.

"Would you agree or disagree that you are being held back from something because of the way that you're currently thinking, because of that operating system that you're currently operating under? And when I say operating system, I want you to think about a cell phone. And when you have your cell phone, like my son would always say, Mom, you've got so many apps open and he would take it and slide him up or to close down. Right. So it's kind of the same thing with our conscious mind in our subconscious mind. We're subconsciously we have these stories and these beliefs that we're continuously tapping into because they're running in the background, because we haven't really tuned in to really listen and hear what it is that we're telling ourself." In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism, I am sharing a live that I did as part of my 3 day series called "Hormones 101". This particular episode is day 3 where I talk about your thoughts, thinking, and belief systems that are keeping you stuck. Some of the issues covered in the episode are: *Your view of the world and how that is affecting your current reality. *How most of your belief systems were created. *How generational stories don't have to be your truth.

I'm here to tell you that that there are a lot of things that are not being considered in your weight loss journey. I want you to remember that you are not doing anything wrong, you just might not be doing the right thing at the right time, or you may not be focusing on the right thing that you need RIGHT NOW. So what's the secret here? So the secret to weight loss success most of the time is hormonal balance. In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism, I am sharing a live that I did as part of my 3 day series called "Hormones 101". This particular episode is day 1. In this episode we talk all things metabolism, what works and what doesn't, the Hypothalamus, Pituitary, and Adrenal Glands and why what you THINK is the answer to a healthy metabolism is actually hindering your results. As well as the hormones that matter the most such as Insulin, Leptin, and Cortisol. Some of the issues covered in the episode are: Problem - Hungry all the. time - Leptin hormone could be the issue - leptin is created by fat cells in the body Problem - Can't sleep (insomnia) - potential cortisol issue - so look at lifestyle habits on how to reduce stress - or could also be a progesterone issue - get levels checked Problem - Can't lose weight - stress too high cortisol issue - could be being brought on by the lifestyle stressors I had mentioned such as not eating enough, not sleeping enough, too much exercise, etc / could also possibly be an insulin issue - body could be less insulin sensitive than it once was.

The internal workings of the metabolism can also be damaged over time. And when I say damaged, it's it's a word that gets thrown around a lot. I don't mean damaged, like broken. I just mean, worn down. In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism, I want to share one of my favorite friends and mentor, Dr. Jade Teta. In this episode we talk all things metabolism, what works and what doesn't, the Hypothalamus, Pituitary, and Adrenal Glands and why what you THINK is the answer to a healthy metabolism is actually hindering your results. Some tips from the episode: If you have fragmented, disrupted sleep, and you're not able to sleep. That is a key sort of insight that you are having too much stress on the system. Hunger, excess hunger and excess cravings. This is another indication that the system is stressed out. Isn't it interesting that the overnighter and the couch potato both have hunger and cravings constantly? They tend to suffer from those two things energy levels, obviously, right, as the metabolism is all about keeping energy levels stable. So when your energy is unpredictable and volatile, that's a good indication. Also, things like exercise performance and exercise recovery. If you do a workout, you're completely wiped out where you can't get through a workout. This is an example of a stress parameter that is overwhelmed. And then one of the things that's most important for women particularly has to do with libido and menstrual cycle.
