Weight Loss For Busy Physicians

Welcome to part three of my series on why you think you can’t lose weight! In this episode, I’m talking about something that I hear about all the time but that I’ve never fully addressed before: family comparisons. Listen in as I dispel the myth that genetic predisposition will inhibit you from losing weight and how a commonly held fear can further prevent you from even starting your weight loss journey.

Have you put off losing weight because you don’t want to give up the foods that you love? This is the second episode in a series on the reasons why you think you can’t lose weight, and today I’m dispelling the myth that the only way to get to the weight that you want is to give up the food that you love. Listen in as I share why you can enjoy food and still lose weight (yes, this might just blow your mind!), as well as why the weight loss journey does not have to involve sacrifice.

Listen in as I share where this belief commonly stems from, how it can actually hinder us from losing weight, and some of the lies we tell ourselves about losing weight without help.

Have you experienced this before? You’ve already had an epiphany, but the lesson has faded from the forefront of your mind. Then one day you experience that epiphany again, and only then begin to understand that lesson on a deeper level. In this episode, I’m diving into what a re-epiphany is, why they tend to recur, and the last time I experienced one. I’m also talking about how re-epiphanies relate to weight loss and why we should embrace them as a much-needed part of our journey.

Fasting: should you do it? You may or may not already know that I am a fan of intermittent fasting, particularly for busy doctors who don’t always get the chance to eat. But what about emotional fasting? In this episode, I’m talking about what exactly emotional fasting is, and why it’s something you should try to avoid altogether. Listen in as I dive into the reason for emotional fasting, talk about the differences between intermittent and emotional fasting, and share the questions to ask yourself before deciding to fast. I also talk about intermittent fasting itself, including how to know if fasting is right for you, and what you should be doing after a fast.

Today’s episode is a twist on a success story! So often we get caught up in thinking that if we just lose weight, our life will improve because of it, but in actuality, sustainable weight loss is a by-product of changing our mindset and our thought work. Deb Butzbach is an oncologist and a client of mine from several years ago, and she joins the show today to share the unexpected benefits of weight loss coaching above and beyond losing weight.

Today’s topic is something that I’m really fired up about. I’ve thought about talking about it on this podcast for a long time, but something happened that pushed me to finally take the leap. What am I talking about? The gender wage gap and, more specifically, how we value ourselves. You might be wondering how the gender wage gap has anything to do with losing weight, but the wage gap comes down to so much more than what we are paid: it is about how we value ourselves. Listen in as I share how we often get our values and our value as a human being confused, why it’s time to stop thinking that people pay us for our value rather than the value we offer, and how all of this can affect the weight loss journey.

Why is it so hard to lose those last 15 pounds? You work so hard, you’re almost there, and then you hit that wall and things just seem to get so much harder. But what if instead of complaining about how hard that last 15 is, you looked at it as an opportunity to find out what work you still have left to do?

How many of us actually want to fail? The answer is probably zero, especially when it comes to weight loss. The truth is that many of us have a very low failure tolerance, and we want to have success all the time. In this episode, I’m talking about why it’s important to cultivate high failure tolerance in your weight loss journey and how failure tolerance is directly related to how much success you will actually have.

You’ve all heard that patience is a virtue, but this is particularly true when it comes to major transformations like weight loss. In this episode, I’m diving into how impatience can actually hold you back in your weight loss journey and prevent you from achieving the holistic change needed to maintain weight loss. This is a message for all of you listening who are feeling impatient and need a reminder to stay the course and enjoy the journey, because it is so worth it on the other side.

Today I’m talking about a topic that, I admit, is steeped in privilege: purposeful adversity. I recognize that the majority of humans on this earth do not need to put themselves into adverse circumstances on purpose because adversity is already their reality. But for those of you listening who have a really nice life and don’t often face a lot of adversity, this is an episode you’ll want to tune into. I’m talking about the importance of adversity for growth and how this concept relates to so many areas of our lives, including weight loss.  You can find show notes and more by clicking here: http://www.katrinaubellmd.com/222Get the Guarantee Your Weight Loss Success workshop now at katrinaubellmd.com/book!
