Episode 152: Never Binge Again with Kimberly Forzley

Today we have an incredible guest who's here to help us shatter some food myths and understand the power of our own minds when it comes to health and fitness. Joining us is Kimberly Forzley, a health coach, personal trainer, and Never Binge Again coach. Kimberly specializes in helping people unlock their true potential and take control of their health. 

Segment 1: The Food We Eat and Its Impact on Our Bodies

Many of us are consuming substances that our bodies can't process properly, leading to weight gain and other health issues. 

A common misconception that everything labeled as "food" is actually nourishing our bodies. Many products today are heavily processed, loaded with artificial ingredients, and stripped of essential nutrients. These so-called "foods" can wreak havoc on our metabolism and lead to weight gain and various health problems.

It's all about going back to the basics. We should focus on whole, unprocessed foods. Read labels, avoid products with too many unrecognizable ingredients, and aim for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. When we give our bodies the nutrients they need, we're on the right track to achieving better health.

Segment 2: Breaking the Age and Hormone Myth

Women in their 50s often feel like they're victims of their age and hormones, thinking they can't lose weight or get fit. 

Age and hormones do play a role, but they don't have to be the final word. The key is to understand how these factors affect our bodies and adjust our approach accordingly. It's possible to make progress and achieve a healthier, fitter self at any age.

It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or coach who specializes in women's health. They can provide guidance on managing hormones and maintaining overall well-being. Beyond that, remember that age is just a number. By adopting a balanced diet, staying active, and taking care of our mental health, we can overcome these challenges and lead vibrant lives.

Segment 3: The Sabotaging Voice in Our Heads

Many of us have that inner voice, often referred to as the "reptilian brain," that sabotages our goals and makes us believe we have to listen to it. 

The reptilian brain is the part of our psyche that craves instant gratification and comfort, often leading us to make unhealthy choices. It's the voice that says, "Skip the workout" or "Have that extra dessert." Recognizing this inner voice is the first step in gaining control over it.

Mindfulness and self-awareness are key. By identifying when that sabotaging voice creeps in, we can consciously choose to follow our higher brain, which is logical, rational, and goal-oriented. Practices like meditation, journaling, and positive affirmations can help us strengthen our higher brain's voice and silence the reptilian brain's influence.

Segment 4: Empowering Women to Achieve Their Health and Fitness Goals

Empowerment is the key. Believe in yourself, your potential, and your ability to transform. Seek support, whether from professionals, friends, or support groups. Don't let your age, hormones, or that inner voice define you. You have the power to take control of your health and fitness journey.

Conclusion
