As an extension of last episode (What I do in a Day) I take you through my current supplements and things I take in addition to my food and exercise that I talked about last episode. 

I share what I am doing in my current day to day and how things may change depending on the day.

This does not provide any medical recommendations and it’s a must that you confer with your health practitioner before taking anything I recommend.

I want you to hear what I take so that you can get a better understanding of why I am taking what I am taking and what it is for. 

I share specific brands and products and I finish with a list of my fave current podcasts for metabolic health, nutrition, and a FitMama lifestyle.

FitMama, this is a treat today to have the Confident Teen Coach, Kristi Simons. This conversation will get you thinking and offer you some insight into your child or teen, as well as yourself! So often we don’t know how to help our kids because we weren't taught the tools to help ourselves growing up. We talk emotional regulation, how to slow down and connect to ourselves and how we can support our kids in their regulatory capacity. Kristi shares incredible tips, tools and support on her podcast, The Confident Teen Podcast. Find her and follow her wisdom and inspiration on Instagram.

Hi there FitMama, I am so excited to talk to you about one of my fave topics which has been under some scrutiny in the last years regarding habit change and it’s Motivation! It is a big topic and one that I go into at many angles.

I share tips and ideas around getting to your “Why,” which is the deep driver for your motivation. Motivation is an inside job. Today on the Work IN to your Workout, I explore this concept in depth. What is your motivation? What inspires you? This is the first line of my TEDx talk: How to Love Yourself to the Core

What is your WHY? I suggest 8 things on this episode from Spiritual to aesthetic to health to financial and family. Figure out yours! Tune in today and share this episode with a friend who is looking for motivation!

Hey Hey FitMama, I have an amazing guest for you today; parenting and relationship coach, Diane Sorensen! Diane had gone on a personal development journey over 20 years ago when her daughter’s mental health crisis had her looking at things differently. This opened up a whole new world to Diane that led her to become a coach and certified hypnotherapists to help her clients the way she knew would work. From the inside out. In this episode, Diane shares her wisdom on what’s happening when we resort to yelling at our kids or partners, what we can do about getting triggered, how to implement healthy boundaries and what exactly is the Drama Triangle and it’s alternative, the Empowerment Triangle. 

We had a great conversation that opened my eyes to ways in which we aim to cope with feelings and emotions instead of processing them in a healthy way. I know you’re going to love this pod as much as I did and I can’t wait to hear your takeaways FitMama!

You can find Diane Sorensen online in her Facebook Group, Instagram and Her Website. As well, she has included a free gift for the FitMamas! Ready to face what’s going on and reinvent yourself? Diane has the tools and support for you! Download your free gift HERE.

Hey Hey FitMama, I have been having so many questions from my DMs asking about how to stop cravings for habits and foods that we want to stop doing. How do we stop! Well, managing cravings is easier than you think. It needs to start with wanting to change something that isn't working for you. Spending too much money? Eating foods that are not serving you? Drinking too much? Skipping workouts? I know, I know, it's tempting, but you know how much better you will feel when you don’t give in. I go into detail for these 20 simple ways to support you in managing your cravings, regardless what the craving is for!

1. Awareness 

2. Distraction - replacing - modifying

3. Mindfulness (yoga, journaling, breath awareness)

4. Cleaning /Declutttering

5. Exercise (esp outdoor walks)

6. Outings/day trip/make trip plans

7. Reading/learning

8. Time with kids

9. Cooking/meal prep

10. Time with partner (intimacy) or self intimacy time

11. Creativity (writing, art, music, dance)

12. Therapy/coaching

13. Breathwork 

14. Meditation or prayer

15. Go to sleep

16. Eat enough protein each meal 30-50 g and healthy fats will keep you full longer (no blood sugar ups and downs)

17. Limit sweets to special occasion

18. Don’t buy foods that you overeat 

19. Make a short term goal to work towards

20. Tracking goals for short term and choosing manageable ones

FitMama! On today’s episode I have the brilliant Dr. Jen Newell. Dr. Jen is a seasoned skin strategist who adores addressing dermatological concerns. She offers next level support for patients by resolving their skin issues from both the inside out and the outside in. In addition, she wants to obliterate the mainstream habit of marketing beauty by preying on women’s insecurities.

Creating bespoke care plans for every unique patient is her happy place. Moreover, she loves witnessing how a change in a person’s skin health becomes reflected in their confidence and as a result considers it a great privilege to be able to help in that transformation.

Today we talk about many skin topics such as how to choose a sunscreen, what creams and skincare protocols to use, how to know what’s right for your skin, what Dr. Jen’s thoughts are on societal pressures regarding aging, teen skincare, root causes of skin issues and so much more. Don’t miss this episode and share it with a friend!

Hey FitMama! I am here for you today with some real talk on habits and behaviors in our regular routine and looking at:

1. What are they and how do they affect us (Shopping, drinking, gambling, coffee, procrastinating etc)

2. Are they giving or taking from us? (Which one more?)

3. Do they serve us? Maybe they did in the past but they no longer do. Take stock.

When it comes to how we spend our time “working,” or “escaping,” or “self-care,” or “mom time,” or “wife time,” what are we doing that feels like we do it and we can’t stop? It lifts us in some way but really goes against our goals? Online shopping? Scrolling? Quick fixes? Drama? Stress? Drinking or drugs when you know it's not healthy? It’s giving us the dopamine hit we desire. Or lighting up that part of the brain. We try to stop and it feels hard or we give up and erode our self-trust.

Is there a habit that is getting in your way? Take a life/time audit and track what you do all day to notice any patterns of addictive behaviors (don’t hide from the subconscious ones that we do without thinking). 

1. Notice (time audit)

2. Stop

3. Go for 30-100 days

4. Feel. Do the work. Recovery awareness of self and CBT

5. Reintroduce if desired and feels safe

6. Record and remember

7. Engage in life. Notice. Want to escape from your life?

Noticing is both first and last. Are you living a life you want to escape from? This is something to be aware of. Otherwise these addictive behaviors can pop up out of the blue or have been there for years or even decades. No judgment!

I hope this episode opens up some new perspective for you. Please send me a note!
