Ep. 55 Mental Wellness & Losing Weight Your Way!

Inner Challenge Podcast with MJ Murray Vachon LCSW

Happy New Year! In this episode, MJ talks with personal trainer and weight loss coach, Julie Hamilton, about abandoning the quest for the perfect diet and instead focusing on what works for you. They discuss a practical and achievable approach to weight loss that begins with the question, "What foods can you not give up?" (MJ's – lattes and Julie's – chips!) How's that for turning this formidable conversation on its head? Whether you're looking to shed pounds or maintain a healthy weight, Julie shares mindset shifts, practical tips, and dispels common myths about weight loss. (You might be surprised when she shares the relationship between weight loss and exercise!) Tune in to discover how to tailor a diet to your lifestyle, handle shame around weight issues, and understand the impact of simple, everyday choices on your health. Feel free to reach out to Julie at http://[e-mail].
