Losing Weight without Losing Your Mind (formerly the More Mindful Podcast)

Welcome to the Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind Podcast (formerly, the More Mindful Podcast) — where we make weight loss sustainable (and dare I say, enjoyable?!) by changing how you think, instead of just changing what you eat.

Hi, I'm your host is Julia Lynch— your down-to-earth double-certified macro-nutrition coach, integrative health enthusiast, and fellow recovering "starting over every Monday" girl. I get it because I've been there: obsessing over every bite, working out twice a day, and still feeling like I was failing.

Here's what changed everything: I stopped expecting overly-restrictive diets to work for me (they don't!) and I started working with my brain and body, instead of against it.

Now, I help overwhelmed, high-achieving women (you know, the ones juggling EVERYTHING, while her inner perfectionist yaps away at her all day) lose weight without making it their full-time job or giving up Friday night pizza. What’s the point of losing weight if it makes you hate your life?

Through my Rooted Method, I combine mindful eating and macro tracking with practical nutrition hacks and the mindset shifts that actually stick, so you can finally stop the mental gymnastics around food and lose weight without the drama…

Each week, we're diving into real conversations about the thoughts keeping you stuck, simple nutrition strategies that work with your actual life, and tools to help you trust yourself around food again.

Because here's the thing—you don't need another meal plan. You need to stop believing that becoming “that healthy girl” is out of reach. Once you shift your mindset to believe it IS possible, I promise you things will start falling into place. And this podcast is your gateway there.

003: What 5 habits make the biggest difference in health & wellness?

August 06, 2024 • Episode 3

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.
