The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS – Détails, épisodes et analyse

What you don't know CAN hurt you!   "If only I knew then what I know now" . . .  I find myself saying that so often about my body and my health! Thanks to my friend, my physical therapist, and our guest on this episode I'm finding out that so many of my back problems  could be stemming from poor pregnancy and c-section recovery.  If you've given birth, intend to, or know someone  who will be, listen up because the way you take care of your body AFTER pregnancy can have LONG LASTING effects and imbalances that may be causing you a lot of trouble now.  But don't despair, imbalances can be fixed and damage can be repaired with patient, consistent work.   Our guest today is Sarah Nichols, who was a licensed Physical Therapy Assistant for 13 years and has now made it her mission to educate and assist women in getting thier bodies back.  She loves to teach about improving your foundational strength, and getting to the root cause of physical problems and pain instead of just managing symptoms.  She has a genuine desire to help woman during pregnancy and post becasue, as she says, we're not taught how to protect our bodies and get our pelvis strong again which causes future problems in the lower back, hips and knees.  Her favorite body part to work with is the spine because that is usually where our issues start, that's certainly the case for me!    And just a quick update - I've been working really hard on re-building my own foundational strength, and improving imbalances with Sarah.  Our consistent work has paid off and while I have back issues that will never go away, my functioning and mobility has greatly improved and I've started getting back into walking and lifting weights.  The knowledge I now have and the foundational strength I've gained will keep me on the right track and feeling good!  If you're struggling like I was, my best advice is find the RIGHT helpers, be consistent in your exercises and treatments, and give it enough time!   I hope this episode give you hope if you're struggling.  Your body is amazing and incredible abilites to heal itself if you give it the right help!    XOXO Tara   PS.

Reconnect to health through your garden   Are you a gardener?  Gardening has long been held as a successful stress reducer, but did you know that the microbes in the dirt are also good for your gut?

She's just an absolutely wonderful person and with so much great knowledge to share with you.    Alicia shares some great tips for creating a garden for yourself and check out her website for TONS of great information.  Make sure you look a the course: Learn to Grow Herbal Tea and Enjoy All Year and use code TARA for a discount!   I hope you're as inspired as I am to ge your hands dirty, get out in the garden, and just start growing stuff!    XOXO Tara   PS.

  Imagine this: 2023 is the LAST time you have to lose the weight, the LAST time you feel crappy and tired all day, the LAST time you emotionally eat, the LAST time you give in to all your cravings, the LAST time you look in the mirror and hate what you see.   In general, I'm not a fan of New Years Resolutions, in large part because about 91% of people have given up on them before January is even over.  I AM however in favor of self-reflection, goal setting, and thinking BIG at the turn of the year.  I want this year to be YOUR year! The year you move forward, the year you make progress, the year you OVERCOME! So much can happen in a year!   In this episode I'm going to give you 3 steps to create better goals and better resolutions so that you'll actually achieve them.  Because really, what's the point of self-reflection and setting goals and making resolutions if you don't actually DO anything, if nothing actually changes?     I'm going to challenge you here; do you listen to all these episodes, follow the people on social, consume, consume, consume, information but don't actually DO anything? If you struggle to be an action taker, maybe it's time to take this relationship to the next level? 😘    If you have been listening to the podcast for a awhile, you think the advice is good, but you have trouble implementing it, then maybe you need more? More support, more coaching, more accountability, a more personalized plan to follow.  If you think you're ready for more, then the HMHB Program and Membership is ready for you!   XOXO Tara   Next Steps: Get your free workbooks: www.tarafaulmann.com/resources Join the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program: www.tarafaulmann.com/join Email me: tara@tarafaulmann.com Full Episode Transcript: www.tarafaulmann.com/podcast/entry/76   Listen to Related Episodes:  Episode 33: 3 Reasons Your New Years Resolution Didn't Stick and What to do Instead Episode 3: The Motivation Myth Episode 52: 4 Keys to Being More Disciplined

It's time to bring in the big guns!   And by big guns I mean ME 😂!    When you're frustrated, you're not getting the results you want, you want to move faster, or you're not sure what to do next - you talk to an expert right? In my life I've hired personal trainers, business coaches, life coaches, therapists, etc. so that I could learn what I didn't know, figure out what was holding me back, and move forward faster.  A health and nutrition coach is the same!   When it comes to nutrition, health, or weight loss you've probably only looked to diets, books, Instagram, or google (or a good podcast 😉) to try and figure out what to do.  Your doctor said eat healthier and lose weight but didn't' give you much help beyond that.  There are a lot of good (and bad) resources out there, but if those strategies worked on their own you probably wouldn't be reading this right now!  There's a difference between knowing and understanding information, and actually implementing and acting on that information.  That's where a coach comes in.  Coaches take you from stuck in information overload to moving forward and making progress.     To get a different result, you need to do something different.  You need a coach in your corner to personalize a plan for you, hold you accountable, and help you move forward faster.    Think of a health coach as a trainer, nutritionist, and life coach and in my case a therapist, all wrapped into one.  Don't you think you could figure out way more, WAAAAY faster with someone like that on your side!?   I want to be your coach in 2023.  But even if I'm not your person, please reach out to me because I know a lot of coaches and I'd love to help you find your person, because hiring a coach this year is going to finally be the game changer you've been looking for.     If you have been listening to the podcast for a awhile, you think the advice is good, but you have trouble implementing it, then maybe you need more? More support, more coaching, more accountability, a more personalized plan to follow.  If you think you're ready for more, then the HMHB Program and Membership is ready for you!   XOXO Tara   PS.

There's just a lot of bad advice out there!   Tis the season for looking around at all the diet and supplement commercials and deciding what's going to be the best one for you to FINALLY lose weight and get healthy in the new year.   The diet and supplement industry spends billions of dollars to convince you that the newest fad thing is the best.  Your best friend is SURE her way is the best, and that gal you follow on insta says her way is the best! How do you know what's real? How do you know what's hype?   In this episode I'm going to break down 5 of the MANY terrible health ideas and BS advice that you've probably tried before, I sure have.  In my 20's, before I was a nutrition and health coach, I definitely have fallen for my fair share of bad advice. I took the fat burning supplements, I tried the magic pills and potions, I never missed a Monday, I have ascribed to all the things. When you're young, I think you can get away with some of that and the terrible ideas don't have such bad effects on you. But when you hit your 30s, 40s or 50s, and beyond the BS advice really starts to have bigger detrimental effects on your body and your progress. I really want to make sure that you can decipher what's good and true from what's BS and terrible. So today, I'm going to share five of the many terrible ideas and weight loss traps so that you can avoid them.   And since I know you're thinking about getting healthy, breaking free from stress and emotional eating and losing some weight in the new year I want to invite you to join us in the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program.  If you're tired of the BS, the restrictive diets, the crazy programs, and just want to finally figure out your body so you can be healthy for good, then the HMHB Program and Membership might be exactly what you're looking for.

It's the happiest time of year!   Unless it's not.     I had a fantastic conversation with Life Transformation Strategist Cristina Jolly about how to handle this time of year when you don't exactly FEEL happy.  Christina is the host of the Believe for Bigger Podcast, and a life coach who helps women who struggle with identity, lack of confidence and helps them embrace their worth, step into boldness and operate in their gifts with confidence.    We spoke about the larger topics of finding and cultivating gratitude, and being open to change and things looking different than they have in the past.  We also talked about some more tactical tips like how to successfully ask for the help you need, and how to have productive conversations with family.    After we recorded this episode I've been having some additional thoughts about the holidays that I'm feeling called to share.  I think sometimes we can feel down during the holidays because we lost sight of WHY we have the holidays.  Christmas isn't JUST about presents, and cookies, and Santa. It's not JUST about expectations, and family stress, and drama, and the like.  It's about Jesus.  Christmas is about God coming to earth in the form of Jesus to set in motion the most important fulfillment of God's prophecy.  It's about the birth of the Savior of the world, the Savior sent just for YOU and just for ME.     It's true, the holidays can feel stressful, but in my experience, I ONLY feel stress if I've veered from the truth of the Christmas.  If we keep Jesus front and center my stress is removed, my kids are full of gratitude, my husband is calm, and no matter what goes awry it really doesn't phase us because what is TRULY important is eternal and unchanging.  We talk a lot about cultivating gratitude in this episode, but truly my gratitude is for Christ, for His birth and later His sacrifice, and for His hand on my life.     Friend, this Christmas I'm praying for peace in your heart and mind and I'm praying that if you don't yet know the peace of Jesus, that this Christmas season it is revealed to you.     XOXO Tara   PS.

Dry, winter skin be gone!   I've got a special treat for you in this episode! I got to sit down and interview my friend Rene Bartosh with Pure & Coco skincare. Renee has an awesome story of dealing with eczema her whole life, and then figuring out how to solve her own problem by creating her own skincare products. Those products turned into a skincare line which now she sells online, in her own store in Montesano WA, and in several local stores.     We also talk about the importance of the ingredients of the products that you're using on your skin, things that you want to make sure your products have and things that you want to make sure that your products leave out. Not all products are created the same and some things that you think should be helping you or should be safe for you probably aren't. So we got to have a really good conversation about what's safe and what's not the things you should look for and the things that you should avoid.    Rene shares her best tips for protecting your skin and having healthy skin through the wintertime especially when most of our skin gets really dried out. I don't know about you, but for me, my skin gets super dry in the wintertime. I get dry, scaly, alligator looking skin.    I've been using Pure and Coco product sugar scrub and moisturizer and I've got to say my skin is loving it! I have never had such moisturized, glowing amazing skin in the wintertime. Total game changer.  I highly encourage you to check out pureandcoco.com. And then enjoy this interview and learn a lot about protecting your skin in the wintertime and keeping your skin and your body healthy all year long.   XOXO Tara   PS.

Don't make this bigger than it is . . .   In ANY journey there's ups and downs, leaps forward and setbacks.  Why would we think a journey to overcome emotional/binge eating overeating would be any different?  Messing up is totally normal and you should EXPECT it to happen! The real problem is that when we "mess up" we go down the shame and guilt spiral, we decide it's never going to change, we'll always struggle, nothing will ever work, I'm a horrible person, etc. etc.  We get stuck in the "failure" and can't move forward from it.     The trick to overcoming setbacks is to learn the lesson and move on as fast as possible! Your binge or overeat was just one tiny blip on the entire timeline of your life and the entire personhood of you and the entire journey that you're on. It's just one thing one time. We need to stop making it so big, stop making it mean so much. Stop allowing it to define who you are, or what you're capable of it does none of those things, all of those things are lies. Stop believing in those lies and stop repeating those lies in your own brain.    What if you could see your binge or overeat experience as an opportunity to learn about yourself? What if you saw it as an opportunity to give yourself some more grace and some more compassion and really understand what it is that you truly need right now? What if you saw this an an opportunity to train your brain to stop being so habitual all the time and make more conscious choices? If you can start to see an event like a binge or overeat as practice to get better, I promise you, you're gonna move forward so much faster. Friend, you can do this. I'll help.   XOXO Tara   PS.

You CAN Handle the Holidays!   Did you know the average American gains 8 lbs over the holidays?  The "holidays" are only 2 months!  And the vast majority don't lose it.  This does NOT have to be you!   The holiday season seems to take all our normal stressors and amplify them.  All the difficult emotions and situations that we emotionally eat because of now, seem bigger during this holiday season.  Finances, relationships, loss, our weight, our health, and add to that all the expectations we put on ourselves and that others put on us!  Then put an ever-ready supply of "not so healthy" food choices at our fingertips and it's no wonder we turn to eating.  The insidious thing about emotional eating, stress eating and overeating is that we usually don't even realize we're doing it  until we're ALREADY doing it!   In the link below you'll see that I've made a Healthy Holidays Masterclass for you this year.  Your guide to handling the holidays successfully WITHOUT the extra eating and extra stress.  I took some of the tips from that guide and shared them in this episode. Some are very practical - like tips for how to not overeat at events, and some are more mindset based - like how to handle Uncle Joe and his rude comments.     The biggest takeaway from this episode is that YOU have the power to decide how you want to feel. ALWAYS.  You have to decide ahead of time how you want the holiday season to go, how you want to feel each day, at each event, after each event, with each person, about each situation.  My goal for you is that you've learned to handle yourself during the holidays SO WELL that come January 1st the thought of going on some crazy New Years Resolution diet will be laughable to you!   XOXO Tara   PS.
