Today we're talking about the mindset behind the phrase "I should have . . . " or "I shouldn't have . . .", and how it can undermine your best efforts to improve your health.  It seems harmless enough, but you might be surprised as to how it undermines.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a test you could do at home, as often as you like, and it was super cost-effective AND gave you valuable information . . . like where you might be on the diabetes scale (pre-diabetic, diabetic, or not-at-risk)? Or, some insights into your insulin resistance? Or, when you're actually optimal for burning fat - or how often you're optimal for burning fat? Or, what amount of carbohydrates are perfect for you, given where you are currently? If that's not enough, what about insights into how "off" or "on" your circadian rhythm is? Well, there IS such a tool, and it's a MUST for anybody serious about taking their health and physique into their own hands. Join us for the discussion . . . and here's a hint, if you listen a few minutes in and think it doesn't apply to you . . . think again. Keep listening and I bet there just might be something you can put in your toolbox to help you reach your physical and mental best.  Thank you SO much for checking out this episode of the BBF Podcast

The Beyond Burning Fat Podcast is brought to you by: www.MichelleFit.com   Today’s Show: How Big Is Your Genetic Bucket?   What’s a “genetic bucket” you ask? Good question.   It’s simply a visual I came up with that may help empower you when it comes to your health and fitness.

The Beyond Burning Fat Podcast is brought to you by: www.MichelleFit.com Today’s Show: Can You “Self-Love” Your Way to a Lower Body Fat?   We’ll answer that question at the end but first, we’ll go through three practical exercises that have you beginning to cultivate more love for yourself. Why exercises? Because oftentimes the advice is to just “be more loving”, or “be more accepting of yourself.” But how? How do we begin to do that, especially if we have a long pattern of self-hatred? So, these three exercises actually trick you into brining up loving feelings for yourself – or feelings associated with love, like understanding, affection, tenderness, and trust. And that can begin to turn the self-hatred ship around! (And yes, contributes to your overall health and physique!) So glad you’re here -- let’s jump into the episode! * * * Hello!
