In this episode, I sat down with Louisa, a mother of two and a teacher who has undergone an INSANE health transformation. From struggling with gut health issues, psoriasis and low energy to losing over 10 kilograms, regaining her energy and clearing her skin, Louisa has totally transformed her confidence and wellbeing in every single way, whilst enjoying every meal and finding it super easy!

Louisa shares how the 3-Week Body Reset and Health with Bec Tribe have completely changed her life.

Together, we explore: 

• How gut health is crucial to improve if you want to see every area of health improve

• The realisation of how years of antibiotics affected her gut and health 

• The importance of self care and carving out the time for you if you’re serious about improving your health and life

• How she plans her weeks to stay on track

• The importance of letting go of perfection in her journey (ie nights of eating pizza) and how that’s totally ok

• How small, consistent changes can ripple into all areas of your life

And more!

This episode is packed with inspiration, actionable advice and practical tips for anyone looking to take the first step toward feeling like the best version of themselves in every way.

To take the healthy steps required for change, we need motivation.

And without the feel-good chemicals in our bodies, it makes it damn hard. I truly believe that happiness is central to growth and change in all areas, including finding and maintaining your balanced weight.

I mean... if we don't feel good, we don't want to feel our bodies well, we don't have the motivation to exercise and we don't have the grit to take those steps that we SO WANT TO TAKE.

Feeling sad, unmotivated and low unfortunatly can keep you stuck in your comfortable ways, and whilst it's SO normal and we all have our bad days, there are certainly ways they we can try to boost our bodies serotinin (feel good chemicals) to help us have more of the better ones.

So, this episode is for you if you're looking to boost your happiness in order to make these healthy changes easier.

If you're struggling at the moment, please know that you're not alone. I really hope this podcast helps you!

I also recap on my walk with some members from the Health with Bec Tribe and the power that came from it!

In this episode, I dive deep into a key issue that most conventional diets overlook, which often leads to failure in achieving long-term weight loss success. It's not just about losing weight—it's about keeping it off for good, and that's where most diets fall short, with 85-90% of dieters regaining their lost weight! Today, I explore why this happens and what you can do to avoid it.

What You'll Learn:

• The Alarming Statistics of Diet Failure: I break down research showing that 80-95% of dieters regain the weight they’ve lost, often within just a few years. If you’ve lost weight in the past, only to gain it back, you’re not alone—and there’s a scientific reason behind it.

• How Calorie Restriction Affects Your Metabolism: Long periods of calorie restriction can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to maintain weight loss. I explain the science behind metabolic adaptation and why your body fights to keep you from losing too much weight too quickly.

• The Role of Hormones in Weight Loss: Learn how dieting can lead to a drop in your thyroid hormones (affecting metabolism), an increase in cortisol (stress hormone), and changes in hunger hormones (ghrelin and leptin) that make it harder to stay on track.

• The Importance of Calorie Cycling: I introduce calorie cycling as a powerful strategy to prevent your metabolism from slowing down. I share how incorporating higher calorie “refeed” days can help regulate your metabolism, reduce hunger, and maintain long-term weight loss.

• Why Strength Training and Protein Are Essential: Discover why eating a high-protein diet and incorporating strength training are critical to keeping your metabolism strong while losing weight.

If you’ve ever struggled with losing weight and keeping it off, this episode will help you understand the science behind why that happens and how you can beat the odds. I’ve developed my approach to cover all of these factors, and it’s worked for thousands of women worldwide. Tune in to learn how to make sustainable, long-term weight loss a reality for you too!

41:00 Episode Wrap Up & Motivational Pep Talk

In today’s episode, I felt like I had to continue on with the theme of last weeks to help you even more. I'm diving into a topic that’s been incredibly important in my own life—deep reflection and how it can help you achieve your goals, whether it’s weight loss, fitness, or any other area. I’m sharing my personal journey and how constantly reflecting on my happiness and tweaking my approach has led me to overcome challenges in both my business and health journey. I hope my experiences will help you do the same!

What You'll Learn:

• Reflecting and Tweaking for Success: Over the years, I’ve learned that taking time to reflect has been key to finding success in my health and business. In this episode, I’m walking you through how you can regularly assess your life and make small changes to keep progressing.
• The Power of Being "Selfishly Reflective": To show up fully for others and achieve your own goals, you need to carve out time for yourself. I’m sharing how I prioritize "me-time" and how this has not only improved my business but also my mental and physical health. Being selfish with your time is not a bad thing—it's essential!
• Breaking Down the Process: When I reflect, I focus on two key areas:
  1. Happiness and Energy: I talk about the importance of optimizing your daily routines to make sure you’re feeling your best, because when you feel good, everything else becomes easier.
  2. Problem-Solving: Life isn’t without its roadblocks, and we all have moments where things don’t go to plan. I explain how I constantly search for solutions and tweak my approach when something isn’t working.
• Self-Awareness and Goal Achievement: One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the power of self-awareness in staying on track. Whether it’s your weight loss journey or another life goal, regular reflection is crucial. I share how I make lists to reflect on what makes me happy and what's holding me back. From there, I test new strategies, learn from mistakes, and continue moving forward.
• Practical Tips for Deep Reflection and Success:
  1. Make time for regular reflection—whether it’s an hour daily or a half-day on the weekend.
  2. Prioritize the habits that make you feel happy and grounded, like exercise, spending time in nature, and connecting with loved ones.
  3. If you’re stuck, don’t be afraid to try something new—whether that’s tweaking your diet, speaking to a professional, or reaching out to your support network.
  4. Always remember your "why" and remind yourself of the bigger picture behind your goals.

Final Thoughts: If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that consistent reflection and a willingness to try new things is essential to achieving big goals. Be kind to yourself, focus on your happiness, and remember—small steps add up over time. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right mindset and a reflective approach, anything is possible!
