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.

008: What’s it like living with endometriosis? with Georgia Martin

September 10, 2024 • Episode 8

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.
