S3, E3: (REWIRE YOUR BRAIN) It’s Not You, It’s Your Thoughts: How to Break Up with Your Toxic Relationship to Food Artwork

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.

S3, E3: (REWIRE YOUR BRAIN) It’s Not You, It’s Your Thoughts: How to Break Up with Your Toxic Relationship to Food

November 25, 2025 • Season 3 • Episode 3

This episode unpacks a hard-to-admit truth: Your thoughts control what goes in your mouth... maybe as much as physical hunger does.

With humans having between 6,000 to 40,000 thoughts per day—most of them negative—Julia exposes how our evolutionary "negativity bias" is sabotaging our modern-day health goals.

The 3 Deadly Patterns (Are You Guilty?)

Julia identifies three specific (and unhelpful) thought patterns that keep smart, motivated women stuck in cycles of self-sabotage with health habits and weight loss... and how you can start to break this pattern if you recognize that YOU are guilty of one of them.

Come back here on December 15 to be one of the first to take the quiz that will help you identify which of these three patterns is YOUR primary saboteur—and provide more personalized strategies to overcome it.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:

Why a 20-minute workout might matter more than you think
The surprising connection between resentment and weight gain
How "future self" thinking ends the negotiation game
Why your unhelpful thoughts probably aren't even your fault
