The More Mindful Podcast (Julia Lynch)

Do you feel like everything in health is SO confusing? One guru is telling you to never do cardio and another is telling you that cardio is the fountain of youth?

This episode is THE episode that had to be first.

I wanna tell you WHY you must eat more than you think. 

I'm gonna kinda walk you through two different reasons, two different frameworks for why eating more is going to help you eat less and why eating more is going to help you have fewer moments of self sabotage and not feel as out of control around food. 

The first is mental and it's based on the thoughts you’re telling yourself and really the way that your brain's reward circuitry. I can actually tell you why your brain is making it hard on you when you create a list of forbidden foods. 

And second, I want to talk about the metabolic and hormonal perspective (yup, eating less may be hurting your metabolism). There’s a mechanism inside your body that is driving up your hunger when we cut calories too much, and I want to walk you through it!

I will tell you exactly why restriction actually causes overeating so you can start reframing how you look at food and eating - and hopefully, it will help you get better results, even faster! 

If you only listen to one of the first 3 episodes - make it THIS ONE & then come message me and let me know what you think!

In this episode, I discuss the 5 specific habit changes that have made the BIGGEST difference in my mind, body, and health in the last three years (while I’ve lost nearly 20 lbs!) - I will walk you through how and why these things made a difference for me (including some of the science!!)

I also open up about my 15 years of misery starting in grade school with body image struggles and unhelpful beliefs I held onto. I share my journey about my own resentment of my body throughout high school and college - and I share it to help you see how what I’ve accomplished isn’t unique or special - it’s so possible for YOU, too. 

I dive into how learning more about the definition of health changed my perspective big time and helped me move away from quick fixes and cookie-cutter diets.

More importantly, I start this episode with a discussion of where to actually start… it may surprise you that my first step for you isn’t diving into all five of these habits. I coach you through deciding where and how to start and why having a destination in mind is going to matter. 

I dive into: 

• The type of exercise / movement that made the biggest change for me 
• The type of daily habits that have transformed how I feel
• How these changes have impacted my clarity and sense of self
• How I never realized how good I could feel inside my body until 

I promise you’ll leave this episode with the mental reframe you needed to feel more capable and hopeful then when you pressed play.

In this conversation, Julia and Kaylin discuss the concept of balance in health and fitness, specifically focusing on surviving the weekend. If you're someone who says "I'll just start over again on Monday"... this is the episode for you!! A big piece of this episode is how to build a lifestyle - including the weekends - that support the goals you have for the future (and where mindset fits into that too!)

They share their personal journeys with nutritional periodization and how it has changed their relationship with food and their bodies, while emphasizing the importance of a life-first approach and debunking the myth that counting macros means restriction. You'll especially enjoy this part if you've ever wondered how tracking your food could be a healthy choice in a world that glorifies intuitive eating as being THE best choice every time.

They also discuss the dangerous mindset of using food as a reward, especially as busy women, and the opportunity to find other forms of self-care. 

They highlight the importance of education, curiosity, and finding balance in order to achieve sustainable results. In this conversation, Kaylin and Julia discuss the importance of viewing food as a reward and finding other ways to feel good that align with our goals. 

They emphasize the need to be mindful and curious about our food choices, using tracking as a tool to shed light on our nutrition. They also discuss strategies for planning and balancing social events and weekends with macros, including pre-logging and making choices that align with our preferences and goals. 

The conversation highlights the importance of flexibility, imperfection, and self-compassion in our nutrition journey.

In this episode, Julia interviews her 1:1 client Georgia, who has been diagnosed endometriosis since middle school. They discuss Georgia's journey with the condition, the impact it has had on her life, and how she manages it.

Endometriosis is a common - yet often misunderstood - condition, so this episode serves as a way to highlight what the experience has been like for one person, to hopefully give all listeners a deeper understanding of it - in the case they have family members, friends, or acquaintances who have experienced it.

They also touch on the importance of understanding and supporting those with endometriosis, as well as the need for better healthcare and conversations around period pain when it comes to women's health, which has historically been fairly neglected by scientific research.

The conversation highlights the need for early diagnosis, finding the right medical care, and the importance of self-care and stress management in managing the condition.

Not sponsored, but here's the company that Georgia mentions:

Quick note: The audio for this episode is a little glitchy (which sucks!!) BUT the episode is so worth the listen so I couldn't bear to not share it with all of you, and I hope you'll still hit play!!

Have you ever wondered if you still need to care about whole foods if you’re tracking macros?

Lots of diets like Whole30, Noom, and Weight Watchers assign value to “good and bad foods” encouraging whole foods, but with macro counting, you may wonder if fruits and vegetables matter if you’re hitting your macros with processed food!

Well I’m here to discuss it! This week, Dani Patton joins me to talk all about macros and wellness and whole foods when it comes to putting together a diet that feels really good and feels really sustainable. 

We cover: 

• Dani’s discovery of macro counting and why she believes macro tracking works for results and long-term health
• How she approaches whole foods in her diet
• If we really should cut out all sugar and seed oils
• How whole foods played a role in her fertility journey last year
• If an 80/20 lifestyle is superior to others
• How to approach health when you’re just starting out
• The power of maintenance (we both had major breakthroughs here)
• How she’s approached macros during her pregnancy 
• Dani’s new macro course for moms & pregnant women

This episode is a 10/10 and a conversation I enjoyed thoroughly.

What are you making your weight on the scale MEAN?

What is the story you tell yourself when you get on the scale and it’s not what you expected?

What are you saying to yourself in these moments?

In this episode, I coach you through this moment and the SIX THINGS that I want you to come back to if you've ever been in her shoes…

This episode was inspired by a real life client who stepped on the scale and realized she was 10 lbs higher than she thought she’d be. 

Ooof. Have you have a moment like that too?

If so, this one will resonate. 

I talk about using the scale to judge your success versus using your habits, feelings, and behaviors to judge your success.

I talk about speaking kindly to yourself through this moment and beyond. 

I talk about navigating facts versus fiction. 

I talk about deciding to take ownership of our choices AND our beliefs so that it sets us up for both short term AND long term success - both in regards to our physical and mental health. 

I would love to hear your thoughts on this one. Send me a DM and let me know what topics around the scale you want to hear next, okay??

In this episode, Julia dives into her journey of becoming an early riser, sharing the challenges and strategies that helped her transition from waking up late to consistently starting her day at 7 AM. Julia emphasizes that waking up earlier is a choice, not a fact, and explores the importance of mindset in making this change.

She introduces the concept that the belief "I can't wake up earlier" is just a thought, not a truth, and challenges listeners to reflect on why they might be setting such boundaries. Julia discusses the critical role of bedtime in waking up early, highlighting that going to bed earlier is often the key to getting up earlier. 

She candidly shares her own struggles with late nights and how she gradually shifted her bedtime from midnight to 10 PM. She lays out a strategy that you can try too!

Throughout the episode, Julia stresses the importance of understanding your "why" when making habit changes. She encourages listeners to assess the quality of their "me time" and to distinguish between rejuvenating activities and those that simply fill time.

Julia also discusses the significance of incremental changes, sharing how small, consistent adjustments can lead to significant results.

Julia's personal experiences, including the use of an Oura Ring to track her sleep quality and the challenges she faced in maintaining her new routine, offer practical insights for anyone looking to transform their morning habits. 

Whether you're trying to wake up earlier or simply optimize your daily routine, this episode provides valuable tips and motivation to help you achieve your goal - including sleep goals, but also ANYTHING else. 

One edit: I refer to the "Life School" and I should have said "Life Coach* School".

In this episode, Julia discusses how to prevent the scale from going up and the importance of fair expectations in weight loss, including how  "A new low on the scale is usually a preview of what's to come when you stay the course."

She explains why daily weigh-ins are irrelevant and how the scale is not a measure of fat loss in the short term - but instead, how to use your daily weigh ins to read a pattern and trend in your weight loss journey long-term.

Instead, she encourages listeners to focus on making decisions that align with their long-term goals and to think about the inputs they can control, such as nutrition and habits. 

She also introduces the concept of future self-thinking and how it can help in making choices that serve our future selves.

In this episode of the More Mindful podcast, Julia interviews Lexus Gordon, a macro coach and nutrition expert, about her transformative journey from macro tracking to intuitive eating. 

Lexus shares her struggles with disordered eating, the impact of societal pressures on body image, and how she discovered the power of macros. 

If you’ve ever looked at someone who “seems to have it all together” and felt like that could never be you - this is a conversation you do not want to miss. Lexus opens up so vulnerably about her past with food and how the pressure of high school and the desire for thinness and being skinny pushed her into drug abuse and a reliance on unhealthy tools to remain in a body “deemed worthy” by others (which I just know that so many of us can deeply relate to). 

Her story is one of self discovery and learning to ask the question “what really makes me truly happy?” and then making the choices necessary to get there instead of remaining in the bubble of doing what others expect.

The conversation delves into the importance of mindset, self-trust, and the tools necessary for a successful transition to intuitive eating. 

One of the highlights of the episodes includes Lexus describing what it means to be a student of what you desire to have and allowing yourself to be bad at something before expecting yourself to know what the heck you’re doing (especially when it’s brand new!!) - she shares how this was precisely her approach to getting unassisted pull-ups and making sourdough bread at home, and Julia shares more about her recent experiences with being bad at tennis and adopting this same student mentality

Lexus emphasizes the significance of journaling and self-reflection in understanding one's relationship with food and personal goals.

You do not want to miss the conversation they have at the end, leaving listeners with mindset homework that has the potential to truly shift the way you think - for good.

In this episode of the More Mindful podcast, Julia explores the transformative power of personal development, focusing on the importance of understanding excuses and ownership in achieving our goals. 

She emphasizes the need for a clear vision of our 'why' (and hey by the way, you can get help with inside the Eat More Membership today - learn more) to combat the natural tendency to make excuses. 

An excuse = a thing that takes us FURTHER AWAY from our why. That’s it... is it helping you or is it holding you back from your goals?

If you've ever wondered if your excuses are "real excuses" or "bad excuses"... this episode is for you.

Julia discusses the significance of choice in our daily lives and how reframing our language can empower us to take ownership of our decisions.

We discuss TWO alternative ways to measure the impact of your new habits and inputs so you can see if you're on the right track!

Julia also talks about a few specific client stories where the scale didn't "cooperate" but a client was dropping inches like crazy - so if you're looking to hear about real women in your shoes... you'll love this episode! (Peep this post about Georgia's story which I talk about!!!)
