352: The Gift of Making a Decision and Sticking With It
August 07, 2023 12:00 - 28 minutes - 43 MBMy dad always says that any decision is better than no decision, and I think he's right. When we waffle in indecision, we waste time and energy, and I don't know about you, but I need all the time and energy I can get. It's simple, but not always easy. I waffled in indecision on this podast. Which topic should I speak on? Should I redo it? Is it good enough? Should I record one or two today? Should I wait to record tomorrow after I plan it out better? Time wasted. Motivation w...
351: Breathe Your Way Better with Sachin Patel
July 31, 2023 12:00 - 47 minutes - 69.3 MBWhat if there was something free, simple to use that could help you sleep better, reduce stress, improve your immune system, digestion and metabolism? What if you already had access to it? My friends, do not skip this episode! For years (in fact, just until the last few months), I avoided learning or engaging in anything related to breathwork. I thought I already was good at breathing. I thought I knew how important it is to breath properly. I thought learning to use your breath cou...
350: 10 Lessons to Upgrade your Life
July 24, 2023 12:00 - 31 minutes - 47.4 MBI'm fresh off a week long vacation, getting lost in the woods with my son Jacob. We hiked just over 50K (and it was a tough 50K!) from Port Renfrew to Jordan River on the Juan de Fuca Trail. And it was AWESOME. Most of it, anyway. The first day was tough. The hike was a bit more 'up and down' and challenging than I expected. After 7 hours of hiking, my knees were sore, and I realized just how heavy my backpack was. By the time we got to our first campsite, I started doubt...

July 17, 2023 12:00 - 55 minutes - 79.4 MBDo you WANT to take better care of yourself, but find that there is always something competing for your time? Do you wear multiple hats, balancing being a mom or grandmother, or caregiver with work, taking care of the household, and always find self-care and health goals at the bottom of your list of things to do? My friend, you’re not alone, and you’re going to love my interview with Caroline Milne. Caroline is an executive coach, helping women level up their health and lifestyle, with ...
348: Finding Your WHY for Weight Loss and Sticking to Your Plan
July 10, 2023 12:00 - 24 minutes - 38 MBYou've probably heard that if you want to create change, you need to find your WHY I agree. I think knowing the reasons why you want to do something, such as losing weight or improving your health is important. But what if you don't have a good reason why? Is wanting to be thin enough? I have some thoughts 🙋♀️ 1. You need a earth-moving reason why you want to lose weight. I have seen many people completely transform their life with a reason such as "I want to feel a bit better"...
347: Fatigue, Joint Pain and Too Much Iron with Dustin McFarland
July 03, 2023 12:00 - 45 minutes - 66 MBDo you suffer from fatigue, joint and muscle pain? Have you ever through that these symptoms could be due to iron overload?

By carrying oxygen to the cells, hemoglobin facilitates energy production and supports cellular development and repair processes. During the menopausal transition, which can b...
346: How Do You Want to Feel?
June 26, 2023 12:00 - 23 minutes - 36.3 MBA few weeks ago I went on a camping trip and it was LOVELY. I spent the long weekend with my family, disconnected from the 'real world'. No cell phones, no social media, no day-to-day 'to-do's'. I slowed down, walked each day, I spent time in nature, and many hours sitting on a boat, watching the rhythmic pattern of the fishing rod. And yes, we caught lots of trout as well. I felt calm and I felt happy. And those are two feelings I want more of in my life. To state the obvious, it's m...

FVY 344: Heal Your Thyroid with Dr. Alan Christianson
June 12, 2023 12:00 - 41 minutes - 61.4 MBWhat is thyroid dysfunction, exactly? What causes it? Is it reversible? Do we need medication?

343: 10 Questions to Change Your Life
June 05, 2023 12:00 - 27 minutes - 41.2 MBEver find yourself standing in the pantry, pondering the options for a midday snack when your energy dips? Do you negotiate the wine on a Tuesday night, even though you committed you would reserve the pinot for weekends only? Do you feel like you have too many things on your to-do list? Often we try to fight these urges and unhelpful habits by arguing with ourselves. “I want this”. “I shouldn’t have this”. “Just this one time won’t hurt”. “I can make up for it tomorrow”. “If I have ...
342: How to Create SPACE to Take Care of Yourself
May 29, 2023 12:00 - 27 minutes - 41.2 MBThere are so many people out there saying things like “we all have the same 24 hours in our day” as if lack of time is the issue. In my experience, lack of time is NOT the issue. The real issue is a lack of bandwidth, the mental capacity to make better choices, and all-or-nothing thinking. it’s so much easier to make better choices when we feel calm, focused, and peaceful. Yet it’s so easy for stress and feelings of overwhelm to overtake our life. If you want to create chang...
341: Keeping Motivated when You're a Serial Starter
May 22, 2023 12:00 - 30 minutes - 46.2 MBIf you’re like many people, you feel inspired, motivated, and enthusiastic when you start a project or program. Maybe you've had a health scare, or are motivated to get in shape for an upcoming vacation. Either way, you are DRIVEN to take action. It almost feels easy. But over time, that motivation wanes. You feel less excited to close the kitchen after dinner. You feel less enthusiastic about drinking sparkling water instead of wine. You feel less motivated to get up before sunri...
340: The Truth Behind "Calories In and Calories Out" for Weight Loss
May 15, 2023 12:00 - 20 minutes - 31.3 MBYou've probably heard about "calories in, calories out" when it comes to weight loss. Those "for" it say that this is the principle that governs weight loss: that weight loss or gain is determined by the balance between the calories consumed and the calories burned through physical activity and metabolic processes. Others say that this model is antiquated, and just downright wrong. In this week's podcast I share the real science behind the usefulness of the CICO model AND its limit...
339: The Energy Series: Thyroid and Metabolism [Part 5]
May 08, 2023 12:00 - 25 minutes - 39.2 MBIn our final episode in the Energy Series, we're going to take a look at the thyroid gland, thyroid hormones and how it impacts your ENERGY. Fun fact: Did you know you have thyroid hormone receptors on every single cell of your body?

Signs of an underactive thyroid gland (which is far more common and overactive) are: brain fog or memory problems hair loss low...
338: How I Make My Quick + Easy Protein Bowls
May 01, 2023 12:00 - 25 minutes - 38.8 MBSometimes I don’t want to share how I eat because I don’t think there’s anything to share. I don’t have any fancy recipes. My meals are certainly not ‘Instagram worthy’ (though I do often post to my stories on instagram @tanja_shaw... along with many cat videos 😜). BUT… they work. They are simple to make. They don’t take a lot of time. They keep me fueled for a long time. They are delicious, AND they support the goal of a fit, healthy body. If you want to feel good in your body but don’t...
337: SMART Goals Meet Inspired Goals
April 24, 2023 12:00 - 27 minutes - 42.2 MBIf you ever wanted to achieve any sort of result, whether it was in health and fitness, business or your career, you’ve probably learned about the importance of setting SMART goals. And when I you worked with me when I first started my coaching career, I would have helped you do the same. We would sit down together and come up with a goal that fit the golden standard: it was specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound. In health and fitness, some examples are “to lose 15 pou...
336: The Energy Series: Blood Sugar Dysregulation [Part 4]
April 17, 2023 12:00 - 24 minutes - 37.8 MBI used to think that you didn't need to pay attention to blood sugar unless you had diabetes. I used to think that feeling hangry if I didn't eat every 2-3 hours was normal. I also used to think that going low carb was the best way to regulate blood sugar and improve energy. And I was WRONG. In part 4 of the energy series, we're going to take a look at blood sugar regulation and its role in energy. If you feel tired throughout the day, if you have difficulty staying asleep, i...
335: The Energy Series: Adrenal Dysregulation [PART 3]
April 10, 2023 12:00 - 42 minutes - 62 MBDo you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Are you exhausted throughout the day? Struggle with brain fog or low motivation? Do you feel tired but wired? Trouble losing weight, or are you gaining weight around your midsection? If so, you're in the right place. In part 3 in the energy series, we're going to take a look at the adrenals, and two important hormones that they produce: cortisol and DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone- but let's just call it DHEA :) Cortisol’s main role...

April 03, 2023 12:00 - 23 minutes - 35.5 MBWelcome back!

333: The Energy Series: Fatigue is Not Normal [PART 1]
March 27, 2023 12:00 - 31 minutes - 47.6 MBDo you ever feel just plain tired? Like you don’t have enough energy to do the things you want to do in life. You know something’s going on… but when you get help, you’re told you just need some downtime, or to sleep more, or you need anti-depressants? Chronic fatigue is common, but it's NOT normal. Feeling fatigued is not the problem, it is the RESULT of the problem. My goal for this series is to give you hope that you can uncover the actual reason why you're feeling exhausted a...
332: Why Is It So Easy to Break a Good Habit (And What to Do About It)
March 20, 2023 12:00 - 21 minutes - 33.1 MBWhy is it so hard to make a good habit but then so easy to break it or fall out of the habit ? Maybe you've been journalling, or going for a walk at lunch hour, or stretching after dinner instead of standing in the pantry. You LIKE your new habits. You feel GOOD doing your new habits. But then all of a sudden you find yourself back to your old routines. Maybe 'life happened' and your new routine was disrupted. Maybe nothing happened, and you just simply stopped doing that good habi...
331: Being Kind to Yourself is NOT Complacency
March 13, 2023 12:00 - 21 minutes - 34.1 MBIf you're like many women I talk to, you might think that being kind to yourself and accepting yourselves will result in complacency and letting ourselves go. And often it does. You let yourself off the hook. You no longer feel bad about giving into your excuses. You say “it’s OK, you’ve had a tough day” or “at least you’re better than before” And we think that’s being KIND to ourselves. It’s NOT. It’s leading to MORE of what you don’t want. More disappointment. Less energy. We...
330: Why Your Digestion Matters [And How to Optimize Digestion]
March 06, 2023 13:00 - 17 minutes - 27.9 MBDigestion is one of the foundational systems in our body. Every other system in our body depends on good digestion so that it can function well. The food we eat become hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes, body cells and energy... important for mood, energy, metabolism, for living vibrantly! BUT, so many women (and all people) struggle with poor digestion... and we just don't talk about it! We're too embarrassed to talk about the fact that we're not pooping regularly, or are afraid ...
329: Why Giving Up Sugar Didn't Work
February 27, 2023 13:00 - 19 minutes - 30.9 MBIf you are focused on what you're giving up on your weight loss or health journey, it's very likely you'll feel deprived and well, like you are missing out. ❌ No sugar ❌ No alcohol on weekdays ❌ No more snooze button ❌ No eating at night ❌ No snacking And while it is helpful to have clarity on your goals (no alcohol on weekends is very clear), focusing on what you're giving up is one of the quickest way to start the restrict-resent-overeat diet cycle. Join me on this week's episo...
328: How To (and Why You Should) Love Your Adrenals with Hope Pedraza
February 20, 2023 13:00 - 45 minutes - 65.7 MBDo you feel tired but wired? Have trouble sleeping? Brain fog? Trouble losing weight? It’s time to pay attention to two small endocrine glands that sit right on top of the kidneys, called your adrenals. The adrenals release several hormones, including cortisol. Cortisol’s main role is to prepare your body to interact with the external environment (such as to run from danger). And if cortisol levels are too high, or too low, it’s very likely you’ll have a hard time losing weight. When...
327: Do This to Stay Focused On Your Goals
February 13, 2023 13:00 - 28 minutes - 43.4 MBMaybe you want to eat better, drink less wine, go to bed by 10 or floss your teeth regularly. But.... "I do well for a while, and then life gets in the way and I slip back to old habits" "I can stick with it for a while, but then I just stop doing it!" "I'm really good at starting, I just can't seem to keep going" If so, you're in the right place. We THINK that creating a plan (even a realistic plan) is enough, but it's not. You must have a process to stay focused on your goals....
326: Insulin Resistance and Midsection Weight Gain
February 06, 2023 13:00 - 21 minutes - 32.8 MBFatigue? Sugar cravings? Midsection weight gain? Struggle losing weight? These are all signs of insulin resistance, and there’s at least a 1 out of 3 chance you have it (higher chance over 50). Insulin is a hormone, produced in the pancreas, that stimulates cells in the muscle, liver and fat tissue to store sugar. Insulin resistance is simply having chronically elevated levels of insulin (also called hyperinsulinemia). Untreated, it can lead to type 2 diabetes. The problem isn’t insulin...
325: I've Gained Weight... Now What?
January 30, 2023 13:00 - 21 minutes - 33.5 MBSo you've gained weight... now what? If you're like most women I work with (and like myself), your tendency is to either: Get frustrated, and then 'get serious' by getting on a new diet, working out harder or being more restrictive OR Get frustrated and give up. Neither are the best choice if your goal is sustainable weight loss and freedom from the diet obsession. Join me in this week's podcast as I share a third (and better) option if you gained a few pounds. I'm glad th...
324: Worthiness and Weight Loss
January 23, 2023 13:00 - 19 minutes - 26.5 MBDo you feel like you're worthy of feeling good? Getting the life you want? Losing weight? Chances are, your first answer is YES. But think about it for a moment... do you? Do you love and respect yourself? Are you on your own side? Do you speak kindly to yourself? Do you believe in yourself? I just received two emails this week from two clients about their journey to worthiness. "I finally figured out I was worthy of love and started to love myself." "You and your program re...
323: What Stops You From Finding Inner Peace?
January 16, 2023 13:00 - 25 minutes - 35.4 MBIn the past few weeks I have received many questions from podcast listeners about inner peace. More specifically, the question is "why can't I find inner peace?". Inner peace refers to a "deliberate state of either psychological or spiritual calmness despite the potential presence of stressors." Norman Vincent Peale says “the life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.” It sounds nice... so how do we get there? That, my friend, is e...
322: If You're Stuck in a Pattern you Don't Like, Listen In
January 09, 2023 13:00 - 27 minutes - 41 MBIf you’re stuck in a pattern that you don’t like, this podcast is for YOU. Here’s the truth: you already know HOW TO break through it. The internet is full of HOW TO advice: ✔︎ 5 Steps to Overcome Emotional Eating ✔︎ 3 Ways to Stop Nighttime Eating ✔︎ 6 Secrets to Losing Weight After 50 But if you’re still stuck in a pattern that you don’t like, stop searching for more HOW TO information. Instead, ask yourself: “Do I WANT TO?” You might be thinking “of course I do!” And I beli...
321: Setting Inspired Goals in 2023
January 02, 2023 13:00 - 53 minutes - 72.9 MBI LOVE this time of year. As we get set to welcome a New Year, it's the perfect time to pause, reflect and set inspired goals for 2023. Inspired goals are different from New Year's Resolutions or the more standard goals such as "lose weight, eat more veggies, start exercising and so on. It's a process I do every single year with my team, my family, my husband and myself. And this year, I invite you to do it with me. This podcast is a recording from a live workshop I hosted on this ...
320: Why You Self Sabotage
December 26, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 38.2 MBLet's talk self sabotage and WHY you do it. You might think that if I WANT to lose weight, then why do I keep reverting to old habits? if you WANT it so badly, so why do I keep slipping off plan when you start to lose some weight? Or why do I start each day with great intentions but end up face first in the ice cream after dinner? Enter self sabotage (no applause required) Take a deep breath. It’s normal. You’re not broken. You’re human. Friend, let’s have a chat about ending self s...

318: One Strategy and Mindset Shift to Stay Consistent Over the Holidays Without Feeling Deprived
December 12, 2022 13:00 - 19 minutes - 30.9 MBSticking to a healthy eating plan and regular exercise routine can be a challenge any day of the year. During the holidays, however, festive feasts, willpower-impairing spirits, and tempting chocolate truffles team up to challenge even the most resolute health nut. Unfortunately, the fear of putting on a few pounds, the stress of making too many ‘food choices’, or the feeling of guilt after indulging in too many shortbread cookies can overshadow holiday joy. Stress and guilt around food ...
317: Cortisol, Weight Loss and Living a Vibrant Life
December 05, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 41.1 MBWeight loss might be a high priority for you, but it's not for your body. Your body's first priority is survival. And if you are chronically stressed, your body will prioritize stress management (survival) over your metabolism. But stress isn't just work deadlines, a tight budget and rush hour traffic. There are many other stressors that you might not even be aware of, and yet they are impacting how you feel (and yes, your ability to lose weight) every single day. Press play and join ...
316: Not Feeling Motivated or Enthusiastic On Your Weight Loss Journey?
November 30, 2022 15:00 - 28 minutes - 39.4 MBThe two questions I get asked the most often are: "How do I get motivated?" and "How do I get more consistent?" If you're like most people, you feel inspired, motivated, and enthusiastic when you start a project or program. But over time, that motivation wanes. You feel less excited to close the kitchen after dinner. You feel less enthusiastic about drinking sparkling water instead of wine. You feel less motivated to get up before sunrise to go to the gym. In the past, you've...
315: The Underlying Cause of Your Sugar Cravings
November 21, 2022 13:00 - 31 minutes - 46.8 MBInstead of learning tools and mindset strategies to overcome sugar cravings, wouldn't it be better if you didn't have them in the first place? I USED to think overcoming sugar cravings was just about mindset; and while I still think mindset is important, it's not everything. There's a lot we can DO to minimize cravings, so that we don't need to practice our mindset ninjas skills every night when the oreos call. And that's exactly what we're going to do in this podcast. Grab your dev...
314: 4 Important Reminders to Get the Body and Life You Want
November 14, 2022 13:00 - 25 minutes - 39 MBFriend, I don't know about you, but I often need to hear things more than once before they sink in. I need to REMIND myself of helpful tools and mindset shifts often. I can listen to a podcast or read a book and feel motivated and inspired, and then go take action. But then, as the days and weeks pass, I can find myself drifting into unhelpful thoughts and old patterns. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone 🙋♀️ But with every reminder, the tools and mindset shifts borrow a little deeper into...
313: Some of the Most Important Habits will Not Result in Weight Loss
November 07, 2022 13:00 - 19 minutes - 30.5 MBChances are, if you're reading this or listening to this podcast, you want to lose weight without the diet obsession. You want to get to your happy, healthy weight and STAY there. You want to get consistent and stay consistent. You don't want to think about food all the time. I hear you. What you want IS possible, but the path to get there is not a straight line. It can be messy, it can feel uncomfortable, and some of the steps to get there might not lead to weight loss. In fact, some e...
312: Menopause is NOT Just about Your Hormones with Jennifer Harrington
October 31, 2022 12:00 - 49 minutes - 71.9 MBMenopause is NOT just about your hormones. Yes, you read that right! While hormones might be the first thing you think of when you think of menopause, if you want to thrive in perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, there are many other factors you must consider.

311: Can You Pursue Food Freedom AND Weight Loss with Jessika Brown
October 24, 2022 12:00 - 56 minutes - 81.7 MBCan food freedom and weight loss goals co-exist? Can you love your body and still want to lose weight? Can you have discipline without rigidity? In a world of polarized views, it's easy to fall into the trap of black and white thinking, and to end up confused and stuck in a pattern or all-or-nothing actions. If you want to find that middle ground of consistency and sustainability, WHILE getting results and loving the journey, you're going to want to listen to my conversation with Jes...
310: Your Comfort Zone is Not a Good Benchmark
October 17, 2022 12:00 - 17 minutes - 28.3 MB"When you’re not used to being confident, confidence feels like arrogance. When you’re used to being passive, assertiveness feels like aggression. When you’re not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself feels selfish. Your comfort zone is not a good benchmark." One of our members posted this quote from Dr. Vassilia (@junocounseling) to our members' Facebook group a while back. It's the kind of thing you see on social media and think 'so true'... and then move on to ...
309: How to Tell if Your Diet is Working for YOU
October 10, 2022 12:00 - 22 minutes - 34.7 MBI said the D Word! Call it a diet, lifestyle, eating habits, I am simply referring to the food that you put into your mouth. Undoubtedly, what you put into your body impacts how your body looks, functions, and how you feel. There are plenty of eating styles and ‘diet plans’ to choose from: from Atkins to the Zone, vegan to paleo, low fat to high fat and everything in between. Proponents of each diet tout that their plan is better because of X, Y and Z, and each are backed up with plenty ...
308: Learning to De-Stress without Food
October 03, 2022 12:00 - 29 minutes - 44.6 MBEver find yourself standing in the pantry or mindlessly eating leftover cold pizza, or peanut butter straight from the tub when you’re stressed? It’s frustrating, and the answer is not found in a diet plan, or with the well-intended advice to have a cup of tea instead. “O…. I just have tea instead of cold leftover pizza and Oreo cookies… I never knew!” said no one ever. You KNOW that eating doesn't really help resolve the cause of the stress, but in the moment, the chips, chocolate or...
307: How to WANT to Do What You Need to Do to Lose Weight
September 26, 2022 12:00 - 28 minutes - 42.8 MBHave you ever thought that maybe you don't 'want it' enough (the weight loss results) because you're not doing what it takes? That if you had a WANTED to lose weight more, you'd stick to your plan? You'd drink your water, go for a walk to unwind instead of going to the wine, and close the kitchen after dinner? I believe that you do WANT it enough. But what you might not have created is the WANT to do what you need to do to lose the weight. You see, as humans, we are motivated by pai...

September 19, 2022 12:00 - 27 minutes - 42.1 MBI often get asked "how do I take care of myself without feeling guilty?" There's actually two parts to this: 1. How do I take care of myself 2.

305: Why Are Some People Successful?
September 12, 2022 12:00 - 14 minutes - 23.2 MBHave you ever looked at other people's success and thought "I can't do that because _________". That somehow they are different from us? I certainly have. We think that somehow things are easier for them. Or they possess some natural talent that we don't have. And these thoughts serve us... they make us feel better for settling for the status quo. We can feel better for settling, or we can feel better for achieving what we really want. Friend, press play and join me for a ...
