Thoughts aren't things... so, what are they, exactly?

Things were going so well!!! UNTIL THEY WEREN'T. WHY!!?!?!?!?

Are trapped emotions holding you back from inner nirvana?

WHY YA KEEP DOING IT?! I'll tell you!

Do you need to fix your past in order to lose weight?

How to have a peaceful relationship with the scale.

Lucia shares her thoughts on mental wellbeing.

Why does anyone focus on their health? Let's decode why we choose a focus on health and why focusing on your well-being (instead of fixing what feels like a problem with yourself) is key to facilitating insights that will truly change your life.

Let's talk about the difference between Thought with a big T and thought with a little t and why this concept will set you free from dieting and make coming home to your innate health super simple and straightforward.

Join Lucia today as she interviews Lisa Kilgour, British Columbia's favorite nutritionist, on how to eat for life. Lisa covers how and why we get the cravings we do, what she finds to be the best tool to step away from the urge to diet, and how a focus on three other metrics beyond the scale are key to a joyful relationship with the foods on your plate.

Perimenopause and menopause are natural transitions the female body experiences; they're endocrine transitions (hormone transitions, like getting your period or experiencing pregnancy). When clinical nutritionist Jessica Flanigan Brown began to experience signs of menopause, she became appalled at the lack of compassionate emotional and physical support for women and people experiencing this transition from the medical community and culture at large. Join Lucia today for her conversation with Jessica on how to cultivate self-compassion and why this emotional skill is crucial for the increasing numbers of people who are, and will continue, to live longer and experience more years during this time of life than any previous generation.

As Americans have gotten heavier over the past century, and disease rates have skyrocketed, there have been many theories: We’re eating too much fat. Too many carbs. An excess of sugar. Is it our lifestyle or our diet that’s to blame? Or could there be a single common cause that explains the sharp increase in not only obesity, but conditions as disparate as heart disease, cancer, and dementia? Nature put a “fat switch” in our bodies. Stuck in the “on” position, it’s the hidden source of weight gain, heart disease, and many other common health struggles. But you can turn it off. Dr. Richard Johnson has been on the cutting edge of this research for more than a decade. His team’s discovery of the fructose-powered survival switch—a metabolic pathway that animals in nature turn on and off as needed, but that our modern diet has permanently fixed in the on position, becoming a fat switch—revolutionized the way we think about why we gain weight. In Nature Wants Us to Be Fat: The Surprising Science Behind Why We Gain Weight and How We Can Prevent—and Reverse—It, he shares the mounting evidence on how this switch is responsible both for excess fat storage and many of the major diseases endemic to the Western world. Guided by his and others’ ongoing clinical research—plus fascinating observations from nature, evolution, and history—Dr. Johnson takes you along on an eye-opening investigation.

Join Lucia as she interviews one of her clients, Amy. Learn how Amy has let go of decades of old stories surrounding who she is, who she is around food, and how her inner narrative now frames her relationship with food using the principles of mindfulness she has practiced for the last year.

Before Geneen Roth, there was Joy Overstreet, leading gatherings and groups of women in San Francisco in the late 1970s, guiding them to notice the sensations in the bodies as they ate food, throw it away when they were full, and the stories they believed about themselves and their bodies. Today on the show listen to Lucia's interview with Joy about her book The Cherry Pie Paradox, and why Joy wrote a book on how to experience lasting weight loss and diet freedom 40 years after she stopped teaching courses and resolved her inner dieter.

Join me for a conversation with my dear friend and walking buddy, Megan deBoer. Megan's work overlaps so with the mindfulness and curiosity principles we discuss here on the MBWLP weekly, and so it was high time I introduced all of you to her and her brilliance. Whether you are a small business owner or not, I know that Megan's words will land beautifully because as a person on this earth, we all have a relationship with money and our finances.

Lucia sits down for a conversation with posing expert Christine Buzan on how to create confidence in front of the camera. Start capturing memories NOW instead of waiting for some "perfect" later!

Weight loss isn't a no sum game, my friends. It takes conscious effort, sustainable changes, and a willingness to be in relationship with your brain. If you're down to clown with that, you can accomplish any goal you desire.
