Mindset & Metabolism Mastery

Back in August 2023, my family and I moved to Costa Rica. We are now 6 months into our year abroad, and I have noticed some massive shifts in my metabolic health, appetite, nervous system regulation and anxiety. So today, I’m sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned from 6 months of living near a blue zone, and how I plan on bringing some of these lessons back with me when we return to Canada.

I share 4 key principles I’ve learned living in Costa Rica that that have massively changed how I focus on my metabolic health and significantly contributed to an improvement in my nervous system. I show you why these changes didn’t come from putting in more time and effort, and how you can apply some of these principles right now in your life wherever you are in the world, to make your life more manageable.

For women over 35, the weight loss journey isn’t just about shedding pounds. It also includes navigating the complex world of hormonal changes. Perimenopause and estrogen dominance are topics I receive many questions about because there’s so much misinformation out there.

Join me this week to learn what it means to be estrogen dominant, the top imbalances that cause it, and my top three strategies for tackling the estrogen tsunami.

If you’re struggling with your weight and energy levels and nothing seems to make sense anymore, this episode is for you. Your metabolic function has a master controller. It’s called your thyroid, and this is one of the most deep-rooted imbalances I see in women who are having difficulty losing weight and increasing their energy.

What I’m sharing today goes beyond exercise and nutrition. Understanding the role and functionality of your thyroid is the perfect complement to the lifestyle changes you’re making because, if your thyroid sucks, your metabolism sucks too. So, let’s fix it.

If you're someone who struggles to follow through on the promises you make to yourself, you’ve probably tried relying on outside accountability to keep you on track. However, you’ve likely also found this to be a short-term solution. The secret to long-term sustained success is self-accountability, and even if you think you suck at it right now, the great news is that self-accountability can be learned.

Join me on this episode to hear what radical self-accountability is and isn’t, and the ways we misunderstand the concept of accountability in general. You’ll learn why leaning on external accountability is so tempting, how it never works in the long run, and two ways you can start practicing radical self-accountability right now.

You can lose weight AND eat food you enjoy. You can change the way you think AND start losing weight from a place of compassion and partnership with your body, NOT from hate and punishment. You can free your mental real estate from obsessing about food AND get to a point where you put on anything from your closet and feel confident. And I’m here to show you how.

I’m your host, Shannon Hagel, Holistic Nutritionist, behavioural expert, and working mama.

Each week, I’ll share practical tips, tools, and strategies to help you approach weight loss without any of the calorie restriction nonsense, repair your broken metabolism, and learn to really listen to what your body is telling you. I’ll focus on the root cause of where your weight loss resistance is coming from, and empower you to understand your mind, rebalance your hormones, and rewire old habits and patterns that are sabotaging your best intentions and stopping you from feeling fabulous AF in your skin.

I’ll cover topics like the changing rules to weight loss after 40, ending nighttime snacking for good, the so-called healthy dieting hacks that are creating hormonal weight gain, the all-or-nothing traps that prevent your success, reading the not-so-subtle messages to find out what YOUR body truly needs, and so much more. You’ll learn how to nourish - not punish - your body, empower your mind, stop feeling fatigued and sluggish, and the key to long-term success on your weight loss journey.

Losing weight does NOT have to be this difficult. If you’re ready to feel good in your body and light in your mind, be sure to follow the show wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.
