You tell yourself, "it will all be OK", because intuitively you know that's the "right" thing to say, and you really want to feel that way . . . OK with how it all turns out, regardless. But why doesn't that work a lot of the time? Why, even after you say over and over again, "it will all be OK", you DON'T FEEL OK? There are three reasons I believe we do this. Obsess about how something will or will not turn out, despite telling ourselves to "let it go". Curious? Push play and join me as we break it down! Also . . .

Yah, the title is a bit dramatic, but you've likely never considered this as ever being something that could be detrimental to your health!  Especially since our modern lifestyle more than embraces it. Not that it is the only thing - but if your stressor bucket (or stress baseline) is already near-full, this can definitely contribute to it overflowing and wreaking havoc on your hormones and your overall health. What is it? Well join me on this episode and we'll chat about it! Also . . . I mention in the podcast for you to SAVE THE DATE: January 10, 2020.

You want to STOP doing this or that - over drinking, over eating, under-exercising, whatever. And you tell yourself that you really need to stop . . . but despite the logic, you find yourself going directly against that logic. There is a really good reason why the brain does this, and a really "simple" way to fix it. And using the example of drinking a little too much - or more than you'd like - is a great place to illustrate it. This episode is unique to my previous episodes because I take you behind the curtain - you'll be a fly on the wall in one of my private coaching sessions (of course, the client's participation has been removed to preserve confidentiality).   Does this over drinking example describe you? You'll get some value out of this episode. Not you? The value will translate to anything else in your life you find that you want to stop doing (or start) but just can't seem to get traction. It's not therapy or treatment; rather, it's sound coaching that can be a game-changer. Not part of my FB Tribe

Why is it that we (you?!) can have the BEST of intentions with starting an exercise plan, eating better - or even improving relationships - and no matter how well-intentioned and how successfully we start off, we find ourselves right back into our old habits? Actually, there's a really good reason for this. And a really easy way to create new habits without wrestling with your willpower.  Think about it. What if you could easily create the habits that would propel your health and physique to a whole new level? That's exactly what will cover in this episode. By the way, I covered the "Five Day Challenge" I mention in this episode in my Private Facebook Group (and I even demonstrated a workout move in my own home gym!). Not part of it yet?

What a treat I have for you in this episode! It’s a powerful interview with Dr. Christine Kaczmar, known to multitudes as “The Digestion Doc”. Get Dr. Christine’s FREE gift for BBF Podcast listeners – the Nutrient Duty Sheet download: at bit.ly/BBFgift Dr. Christine is a Functional Medicine Doctor specializing in enzyme nutrition and, in particular, focuses on those suffering from the most challenging cases of Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, and chronic constipation.  She firmly believes that "nutrition normalizes function", and restoring function is what she's all about.

It's embarrassing. As a sought-after health consultant I had a toxic stressor right under my nose and it wasn't even on my radar. That is, until about 8 months ago.  I've had breast implants for nearly 13 years and it turns out my body has been a saint in dealing with the toxicity. But, it's also been "talking" to me all along the way. Dropping subtle clues that something wasn't quite right.  I'll save the rest for the episode - symptoms, the help I got, what I did about it, and why.  If you don't have implants, this episode can still be for you. Odds are you know someone who does, or someone who's been thinking about it. If not, well, it's a lesson in "finding the root cause" to what might be perpetuating your health and fitness challenges.  Let's do this!

Have you heard of telomeres? Well, I had mine tested and I'll share with you what my results were (partial spoiler alert: It wasn't as good as I thought it would be). What are telomeres?? Not only will I explain what they are in this episode, but we'll take a look at what kind of insight they might have into your health and wellness.  Plus, if you haven't had an opportunity to get on the waitlist for more information on my upcoming course The Top Five Blood Tests for Women: How to Order, Understand, & Monitor make sure you do!

Emotional Over-Eating. Notice how I reference over eating, rather than just emotional eating. There's a difference.  How do you know the difference? What are the red flags associated with it? Better yet, how do you turn the emotional over-eating ship around? Not to worry. We talk about all this in today's episode!  No more waiting - let's push play and hang out for a while ;-) Also, feel free to ask me your questions (on this episode, or any other) by going to www.MichelleFit.com and click on either the tab on the right to leave me a voicemail, or click on the CONTACT tab at the top of the homepage.  Here's to your mental health!

Yet it's working for you 24 hours a day, cleaning up the messes in your body and protecting you from harmful substances.  But liver "detoxing" is pretty popular. What does it entail, and more importantly, what might we consider when evaluating if it's even safe? Well, no more questioning - let's get right to the episode!

It comes up, in some form, at once a week - a question related to hypothyroid or the thyroid in general. But there is a lot of confusion around how to test it, and how it's connected to other organs and systems in the body. Fatigue, hair loss and hair thinning, low cold tolerance, constipation, and stubborn fat loss are symptoms that can have you running to the doc and asking, "can you check my thyroid?".  But all too often, that request has you getting only a portion of your thyroid story.  In today's episode I simply open up a conversation about thyroid and shed some light on thyroid function and testing so you have a jump start on your own research and discoveries into your own health. If this kind of thing leaves you wanting more, then make sure to go to www.MichelleFit.com/bloodtests and get on the waitlist for my upcoming course: Top 5 Blood Tests for Women: How to Order, Understand and Monitor  I can't wait!  Also, if you have questions or need further information, be sure to leave me a voicemail right

Seems simple, but this is truly one of the best little tools in your tool box. Why? It forces you to think about things outside the box. Especially when it's something that you "believe". And beliefs are nothing more than thoughts that we think, repeatedly. When we get "stuck" in a belief or thought process, we tend to just let it sit . . .  Whether that's how you eat, how you workout, or your thoughts about particular people or relationships, when you question everything you begin to look at it in a new light - which can shift your perspective and open up opportunities for  - greater health - less stress - increased growth - beneficial change So join me as we walk through what this means, and give examples of exactly how to question things. I guarantee you'll have at least one aha moment. If not, you can have your money back. And since this podcast is free, you know what that means ;-) If you'd like to take your health to the next level, then get on the waitlist for my upcoming course: How to Order, Understa

High carb, low carb . . . why all the focus on carbs? Is it all hype, or are there some things we should consider?  Why is there a difference between people that can eat all the "carbs" they want, and others just look at carbs and get bloated and gain weight? That's referred to as "carb tolerance". There are several things that can make up your carb tolerance. And, there's some anecdotal evidence that points to the ability to even alter your carb tolerance, with some basic lifestyle changes.  So we dig into everything surrounding the idea of carbohydrates - and start to break down the "bad rap" that's often associated with those energy-packed carbs. Consider diving deeper into your health by learning about your own blood work, order your own blood work (from the top five "batches" I encourage my clients to order), and even how to work with your doctor in the evolving world of healthcare, then make sure you're on the waitlist for the January 2018 release of our COURSE: Top Five Blood Tests For Women How to Ord

What's your vitamin D level? You don't know? Well, that makes you . . . normal. Most people not only don't have a clue as to what their Vitamin D level is, they also don't understand what it does, what the risks are if it's too low, and if it IS too low, how to increase it effectively. Well, we cover all this, and more in this episode. It's the Vitamin D Masterclass.  This podcast is designed to give you the "cut-to-the-chase" topics that help you navigate your own health - mind AND body - so you can make the best decisions for you.  If you want to take this further and learn how to understand your own blood work, order your own blood work (from the top five "batches" I encourage my clients to order), and even how to work with your doctor in the evolving world of healthcare, then make sure you're on the waitlist for the January 2018 release of our COURSE: Top Five Blood Tests For Women How to Order, Understand, and Monitor Them . . .  As well as the opportunity to work with ME in an affordable, online coachin
