Lose Weight Mindfully | weight loss, mindful eating, healthy recipes, emotional eating, boost energy (Jackie Kirschen, Registered Dietitian, Weight Loss Nutritionist & Mindful Eating Coach)

Welcome to The Mindful Nutritionist Show! In our first episode, I’m so excited to share Part 1 of My 65 Pound Weight Loss Journey. We’ll dive deep into how my journey started with diet culture. I'll take you through the raw and honest tale of my battle from 9 years old with my weight, from the alarming wake-up call of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and pre-diabetes diagnosis to the empowering steps I took towards a healthier, more balanced life. The magic happened when I started working with my nutritionist and successfully lost 65 pounds over 1.5 years all thanks to Mindful Eating.

Whether you've battled with dieting, weight loss, or body image, this episode is a testament that change is possible for you. I know my story will resonate with you because even though we all have different experiences, we all connect on wanting to feel best in our bodies and heal our relationship with food. Stay tuned for more sustainable weight loss tips because I’m just getting started! In the meantime, enjoy learning more about where my entire mindful eating journey started and how you can get started too!

Jackie

With Memorial Day and the summer season just around the corner, I'm talking all about handling the upcoming holidays and social events during your weight loss journey. In this episode, I compare what social events and holidays were like when I was deep in diet culture, versus now. 

More importantly, I’m giving you my 5-step process so you can navigate these holiday events while reaching your weight loss goals! Plus, I’ve got a special bonus tip at the end–I promise you don’t want to miss it!

How many times have you sworn you'll eat perfectly during the week, but then spend the weekends eating and drinking everything in sight and then have to “start over” again on Monday? *Been there, done that!*

If you struggle with things like eating perfectly all week then going off the rails on the weekend, or trying to eat healthy at a BBQ then go into F it mode and eat everything, or waking up Sunday saying “If I'm going to start over tomorrow, I may as well eat it all now...” then this episode is for you!

When we live in this mentality it just sets us up for doing the same thing over and over again. So let's talk about it!

In today's MUCH NEEDED episode, I'm giving you the 3 steps you need to stop self-sabotaging on weekends and specific strategies to break the cycle of emotionally fueled overeating.

Let’s help you understand why you self-sabotage and turn your setbacks into success!

PS. Are you loving the podcast? I'd appreciate it if you could leave a rating and review for my show! This helps me support more health-empowered women (like you!) move toward transforming their health so they can look and FEEL their best, without sacrificing a life well-lived. Don't forget to FOLLOW the podcast so you don't miss out on any new episodes when they drop. Happy listening!

Here’s why it’s never too late to start your weight loss journey and feel fitter and more fabulous in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. I hear way too many of my older followers saying that they can’t lose weight because they’re in menopause or that they had babies or that they’re just “too old” to lose weight. Well, here’s the truth – age is just a number, and you're never too old to start your mindful weight loss journey! In fact, I have so many successful clients who are losing weight and getting fitter now in their 40s and 50s compared to their 20s!

Take it from me – on my 33rd birthday and 2 years postpartum, I woke up feeling so lucky and appreciative of my body and the wisdom I've gained that allows me to take better care of myself, my family, and my clients. As I get older, I’m also getting smarter, stronger, more mindful, and I feel the healthiest I have in years..and so are my clients. So, if you're thinking you’re “too old” to lose weight or it’s impossible because you’re in menopause, I have some great news for you: you can make that leap and start losing weight today!

In this episode, I sit down with my Mindful Weight Loss Academy graduate Chantelle to discuss how she’s lost 80 pounds without counting a single calorie, all while enjoying her favorite foods like cake and cookies! Whoever said you can't have your cake and eat it too never met Chantelle. She is a testament that you don't have to put your life on hold to lose weight. Instead, you just have to become a mindful eater and start listening to your body.

We discuss a common dilemma many face—how to lose weight without sacrificing the joys of eating and dive deep into Chantelle’s relatable experiences with yo-yo dieting and body dysmorphia. She also shares her strategic approach to sticking to her healthy habits like food journaling, celebrating her wins, how she learned to trust the process of making sustainable lifestyle changes alongside the specific mindset, and strategies she used to lose weight to get her ready for a healthy pregnancy. I hope you feel inspired by this episode about staying positive and focused on losing weight in a realistic way, one cookie at a time.

Menopause is something we as women will all experience at some point and to say we’re dreading it is an understatement. It brings unwanted hormone craziness and can make losing weight that much more difficult (and who needs that)!

Today I’m talking to Dr. Manna, a functional medicine doctor who specializes in midlife health and is here to put your mind at ease. We dive deep into the often misunderstood world of menopause, discussing everything from the subtle signs of sleep apnea to the critical importance of insulin sensitivity. 

In this episode, we tackle topics like testosterone's decline in women and the impact of stress and diet on our hormone levels. Plus, Dr. Manna tells us the importance of testing for hormone levels and insulin resistance to better understand and combat weight gain during menopause.

Whether you're noticing changes in your body, feeling unsure about hormone supplements, or just curious about how to start taking better care of your midlife health, this episode is packed with advice and Dr. Manna's expert insights. 

So tune in as we clear up the fog around menopause and guide you on the path to a healthier, more informed you!

How many times have you chased someone else’s version of what “fitness” should look like instead of paying attention to your own body’s signals? Or procrastinate your weight loss journey because you didn't know what you needed to do?

On today's episode, I’m sitting with one of my favorite personal trainers, John Noel, about losing fat and up-leveling your fitness routine without falling victim to diet culture. As a personal trainer and health mindset coach, John brings such a refreshing take on weight loss and the true indicators of health beyond the scale.

I firmly believe these tips are SO important to achieving success on your fitness journey.

We are getting into all the juicy conversation about what it takes to see success when working towards a specific fitness goal, and why healthy eating is great but won’t always be the thing that “works” specifically for fat loss. It won’t always feel comfortable, but it’s so worth it when you find a routine that works for your body. Let’s dive in

Ever feel like your brain won't stop obsessing about food and it's making weight loss even harder? You’re overthinking every craving, feeling guilty after eating, or constantly wondering, “Should I eat this?” Oh, I so get it!

If you're trapped in endless cycles of guilt, cravings, and mental chatter about food, today's episode is your life raft. I’m diving deep into what I call “food noise” and teaching you 3 simple steps to quiet those overwhelming thoughts. Trust me, not every food thought deserves your attention—and most of them aren’t even real hunger.

This episode is packed with insights on how to break free from the mental tug-of-war over every bite, how to tell the difference between true hunger and old habits, and how to start making confident, aligned food choices. You don’t need more willpower. You need the right mindset.

Let’s get you to a place where food choices feel easy and weight loss isn’t a constant mental battle. You’re not broken—you’re just stuck in old programming. And I promise, we’re about to change that, together.

I can’t believe today is already Labor Day and I know, for many of us, this busy long weekend can feel like a hurdle in our weight loss journey. 

Even if it’s not a long weekend, it can be a busy season at work, getting the kids ready for back to school, or sometimes even all three at once! Life gets busy, especially for us moms, making it hard for us not to place our weight loss goals on the back burner.

From setting weekly and daily non-negotiables to letting go of that unrealistic all-or-nothing mindset, I’m here to make sure you don’t fall off the wagon when the going gets tough.

If you're ready to crush the last 4 months of the year regardless of how busy it gets and stop compromising your weight loss goals, then this episode is for you!

In today's heartfelt episode, I am beyond excited to share a deeply personal and emotional conversation I had with my dad, Dr. Franklin Gaylis.

I brought him on the podcast to open up about his experience as a parent navigating the complexities of supporting a child—me—through severe health issues, including my own battle with obesity and an eating disorder. We dive into the unique parent-child dynamics, the psychological challenges parents face, and why professional support is so crucial when dealing with disordered eating.

One of my favorite parts of this episode is when my dad shares his initial reluctance to join this conversation but hopes that by sharing our story, other families facing similar struggles will find comfort, understanding, and perhaps a bit of guidance. We touch on the highs and lows of my weight loss journey, my eating disorder, and the pivotal turning point that led to much-needed intervention.

This episode isn’t just about recovery—it’s about resilience, mental health, and the power of family support. Whether you're a parent seeking ways to better support your child, or someone in need of hope and inspiration for your own healing journey, this episode offers invaluable insights, practical advice, and heartfelt revelations that I hope will resonate with you deeply.

Welcome back to the TMN Show! Today I’m bringing you a truly inspiring episode. I had the pleasure of talking to the remarkable Beth Wilkas Feraco, a health and wellness coach with an extraordinary personal journey to share. From her early days, grappling with body shaming and body image issues that stemmed from those closest to her, Beth dives into the profound effects of these experiences on her relationship with food, exercise, alcohol addiction, and self-perception. Despite living under the magnified pressures of LA's beauty standards, Beth's story is one of transformation and resilience. Together, Beth and I are debunking fear-based nutrition information we all have seen on the internet and the importance of being educated about what we consume—without the scare tactics. You don't wanna miss this heart-to-heart. Let’s get into it!

Yep, that’s right – I’ve totally been there until I discovered I didn't have to diet before every summer anymore. 

Today, I'm getting real about how you can get back to loving your body and make those crazy quick-fix diets a thing of the past! Forget all those magazines that push insane juice cleanses and get ready for 10 sustainable tips to feel confident in your bathing suit this summer that I honestly wish I’d known sooner.

Tune in and get ready to love a healthier but already beautiful YOU this summer and beyond!

Have you ever found your head filled with negative self-talk about food or your body that often leads to self-sabotage? If this is you, you’re going to LOVE today’s inspiring episode that will transform your life! We’re chatting with Dr. Nikki, a former coach turned writer and group coach, who shares how self-reflection and challenging our deep-seated thoughts (most likely from childhood) are key to reaching your personal, professional, and health goals.

By the end of today’s episode, you’ll learn how manifesting can rewire your mindset, the undeniable connection between your thoughts and your health, how to face those challenging emotional eating patterns head-on, and embrace the “power of the pause” to become the healthiest version of you.

I hope this episode helps you gain a renewed belief that you can overcome self-sabotage while losing weight and create some positive boundaries that support your mental and emotional health too.

I was flooded with questions in my DM’s about my experience of giving birth this time, so I want to sit down and answer as many questions as possible about how I’m doing postpartum! 

In today’s episode, I talk about Ezra’s birth story and how I’m slowly starting my own postpartum weight loss journey (for the second time). I’ve always been open with you guys and sharing my experience with pregnancy and giving birth is something I want to do. I cover everything from allowing my body to do what it needs to do for recovery to what my hospital experience was like and what I’m doing to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. 

I honestly had no idea what to expect going into this second labor, but I hope you find this podcast episode a source of education that will help you learn more about what you might expect during pregnancy and postpartum.

Everyone’s birth story is different and at the end of the day, you’re a rockstar for giving birth no matter your birth story!
