Let's Have A Heart-To-Heart- Are you chasing hashtags on social media? Are you comparing yourself to other people on social media and finding that you never feel good enough?  There is a HUGE problem on social media right now, and I'm about to tell you just how I feel about this perpetuation of the high school popularity contest and set us up for self-loathing, resentment, jealousy, and lack of confidence. Let's have a heart-to-heart and find solutions together as I give you a VERY close-up look into my own life--the life of Kristy Jo and Body Buddies--as it applies to this problem.  Let's be real together--come hang out with me for 30 minutes.

The stubborn fat that lurks on your midsection, tush, inner thighs, and arms seems to plague you as you look in the mirror. You might even find yourself absentmindedly pinching it as if acknowledgment of your extra body fat will motivate you to change some habits and behaviors. You laugh when you hear I'm going to tell you 3 reasons you're not ripped because you KNOW why you're not ripped. (I hear this all the time from people as they learn what I do in my profession . . . "I just love FOOD!" they say.) Well, let's get specific because chances are you haven't been taught unique strategies to eat, thinking, and working out before. That's what I do here at Body Buddies--I educate people on how to navigate the complexities of this all because I KNOW it is difficult and, heck, I just love food too! ;) So with that said, tune into this episode to hear three of the unique strategies you can be employed each day to take better control of your health and, if desired, push to YOUR next level of ripped. #PowerYourBody

When it comes to healthy habits, we can do all in our power to take care of ourselves and change our own behavior as adults. But what impact on our kids are we having each day?  What habits are we teaching the next generation both through intentional and unintentional examples?   In this podcast episode, Kristy Jo is joined by Hypnotherapist Monica Obando to explore the impacts of parents on their children when it comes to healthy habits and behaviors.   Kristy Jo and Monica will discuss the following topics:   1. What does it mean to Power Your Body?   2. How can parents help their children to have a good relationship with food?   3. What are some dangers in parents overemphasizing the need for healthy food? Are there key phrases or verbiage that works better than others with kids?   4. What should we understand about child psychology when it comes to engraining in them healthy habits that they NEED, though they may not want it?   5. What tip would you give parents who are struggling in their own body weight

SMART Goals for Fat Loss- Specific goals that make sense and lead you to your desired outcome of FAT LOSS are critical when you want to make a change in your body. How many people out there actually make SMART Goals? In my observation, not many, and this is the differentiating point between successful people in a fat loss versus those who are frustrated. Tune in to Episode #147 where Kristy Jo, Mind and Body Strategist and Author of the Power Foods Lifestyle, teaches YOU how to get laser-focused on your goals for fat loss... the SMART way.

A Mindset to Beat Self-Sabotage- Self sabotage when eating is a very common thing! Don't get discouraged if you are dealing with this--it's not that you're weak, it's that you haven't yet learned all of the deep subconscious processing of what is ACTUALLY going on. Tune into this episode where Kristy Jo, mind and body strategist and Author of the Power Foods Lifestyle, discusses the subconscious mind, how to reprogram it, why your word choices matter, and how to step back and gain more awareness. Your health matters--but until you can be consistent and figure out that self-sabotage you will be left floundering and frustrated. Let's figure it out together!   Body Buddies Website: www.body-buddies.com Body Buddies on Instagram: @powerfoodslifestyle Body Buddies on YouTube: www.youtube.com/bodbuds

how to increase your accountability follow through- So you might be busy, flying from one thing to the next, and not have a sustainable way to track your efforts in nutrition and fitness. Everyone tells you to just track your macros in MyFitnessPal, but that is VERY time-consuming, and borderline obsessive to do every day, you think. So what do you do? Do you succumb to less-than-stellar nutrition and fitness efforts and just wing it? Or do you learn a NEW method of keeping yourself accountable that keeps you focused, non-obsessive, and striving to reach behavior objectives, not results from objectives? Duh... the latter. Check out this Body Buddies Podcast Episode where Kristy Jo walks you through the use of her 8-week Accountability Workbook to help you increase your accountability and your follow-through! :) This workbook was designed or Kristy Jo's unique needs, and has now helped hundreds of people who LOVE the way it's lined out!
