In this episode I talk about the reasons for over-desire that create overeating. The three reasons for over-desire are: Neurotransmitters are programmed to desire anything that gives up a subtle, let alone dopamine, response. We are all being marketed to by food experts all day, every day. Recommended book: Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss. We don’t know how to manage our emotions, so we desire food as an escape. I talk about food science and marketing and, without us being conscious of it, they know how to control OUR brains. Learning consciousness around this is a game changer and can reduce your overeating.

Losing weight is more than just appearance. Once you decide to improve your eating habits, you also become more mindful of your other actions and more present to the people around you. It’s not just about the numbers on the scale. It’s about breaking free from the struggles you have with food and insecurities. Ultimately, transforming relationship with food helps you live a happy life with yourself and the people around you. In today’s episode, my former client Michelle joins us to discuss how losing weight made her a much better woman, wife, and friend. She also talks about how she became more self-compassionate and gives advice for those who struggle with their eating habits. Michelle is living proof that the benefits of mindful eating go beyond losing weight.  If you want to stop the destructive cycle of overeating and losing weight, this ep

Have you decided to stop weighing yourself even though you’re trying to lose weight? In this episode, I read a beautiful heartfelt letter from a listener who has had a lot of success and awareness using my tools. She also got my attention in how she referred to the scale, as if it might be a problem. Listen in as I talk about the scale. You might be surprised! The more aware you become of your thoughts around the scale, the more weight you actually might be able to lose. Here is her letter: I have struggled with weight my entire life (well, since I was 12). I am an over achiever. That means I do really really great losing weight, and I do EVEN BETTER putting it right back on. I’ve refused to diet for the last 6-7 years because I felt as if each rebound became progressively worse. So I decided to stop until I could find something that came naturally and wasn’t forced. I’ve tried it all, Weight Watchers, Slim Genics, Paleo AIP, Thyroid meds… all of it worked for a few pounds and then stopped. I could force som

I love talking with my clients after they’ve stopped working with me. I created the Life After Dr. Deb Series for this reason alone. I’m very curious and I bet you’re very curious too.

No matter where you are on this journey of self-discovery (weight loss,) I know Julie will inspire you. Let Julie inspire you towards thinner peace! Enjoy the show!

In my last coaching session with my client Tracie, said, “I don’t feel amazing.” She had felt amazing on every call for all of our sessions. Till now. She was sure something had gone wrong. She thought now that she learned my tools, nothing would shake her again. She was mistaken. Life is just like that. Her body wasn’t behaving the way she wanted it too. I think she might have been suffering more from her own thoughts than her own physical discomfort. When our session ended, she understood a new concept that was most important. Even when something happens that you don’t like, it’s still ok. You just have to learn how to stay friends with yourself and hold space for your difficult emotions. In the end, Tracie said best lesson ever. You don’t want to miss why. Enjoy the show! Join my free class on September 28! Sign up here!

I just finished an online retreat with Pema Chodron. As you know, I love her teachings. My biggest takeaway? If you want to be able to allow difficult feelings in yourself then it is very helpful to first learn how to be friends first with yourself. I’m not sure why that is so ah-ah-like after all these years, BUT, it is. If you want to lose weight for good. If you want to have powerful relationships with others. If you want to help others. It all starts with your relationship with you. May this podcast be of benefit to you! Enjoy the show! Want to get on the waiting list for my next Signature Group Program? Sign up here!

Today’s episode is all about wasting food and what you think about that. Because how you think about about wasting food will determine how you treat your body. If you think you must always eat the food on your plate, your weight will probably always be a problem. I share with you an incident with my husband, Michael, and eating watermelon, what I noticed and my aha moment. We have really been enjoying watermelon this summer, and we’re coming towards the end of the season. So Michael cuts the watermelon up and says, “You better eat it all now, because it won’t last much longer, and there won’t be any more.” Well, I was ready to eat some more just because he said that and my mind went, “Go get it girl, this is your last chance.” But being the body whisperer I am, I checked in with my bod, and it whispered, “All done, +2.” I looked at Michael and started laughing, “You just gave me my next podcast.” I have noticed he says this a lot. He’s become the chef and he’s a good one, but whatever he creates he always sa

I am always amazed when I read anything by Pema Chodron and Buddhist philosophy. It helps me understand more why we eat when we’re not hungry. Losing weight is more about your mind than food.
