Bodyset and Mindset

We can’t just change our body. Our minds have to change too!

I’ve heard of Mindset, but Bodyset?

There are three systems involved in changing your health and your habits: your Physiology, your Psychology and your Neurology.

I like to think of harnessing these three systems as an athlete might in training for her sport:

1.      Bodyset: “The body’s function when given a physical task.” Our current typical western lifestyle and SAD diet prohibits our body’s natural physiology. If we want to lose weight, we have to train our bodies to re-learn how to function normally – for most of us, our lifestyle has prohibited that normal function from when we were infants! If we are giving our bodies a physical task (weight loss), we want it to function optimally to help us achieve that task. We want the proper Bodyset.

2.      Mindset: “The brain’s attitude when given a task.” Neuroscience shows us that our brains function in a certain way, creating “neuropathways” which are the backbone of habits, urges and cravings. And our psychology gets involved too! How we are thinking directly creates the results we are experiencing, both good and bad. Did you know you can change both your neurological function and your psychological function to eliminate those pesky habits, urges and cravings? If we are giving our bodies a neurological and psychological task (weight loss), we want it to function optimally to help us achieve that task. We want the proper Mindset.

I am passionate about teaching anyone who will listen to me the techniques of body and mind which harness our natural physiology, neurology and psychology. I want everyone to learn these techniques, and then experience an entirely different state of health!  

 I would love to help YOU with this if you are interested!

Weight Loss is NOT a Math Problem!

Counting calories is close to useless! Why is that?

What is the ONLY fuel 100% of us who want to lose weight need to use?

OUR OWN BODY FAT.

That’s right – we don’t’ need to count calories. We simply need to change our physiology so that we can ACCESS our stored fat and use it up, just the way nature intended.

You can count calories until the cows come home!

But if your physiology is not supporting your ability to access your body fat, and your gut biome is unhealthy, and your genetics need a different eating style than the weight loss diet you chose, you will fail to lose weight and keep it off.

I can practically guarantee you won’t be successful at keeping the weight off if you do manage to lose it. Notice how confidently I say that? Because only 3% of those who lose weight counting calories keeps it off.

You heard me right. THREE PERCENT. 97% gain it all back, and then some.

Has that ever happened to you? It sure has for me.

Calorie counting ignores the natural physiological function of the human body. Once we understand what is happening, and work WITH our bodies, the weight comes off and STAYS off.

Three-point contact…what the heck does that mean?

What is this blog all about anyway?

In construction, it is a rule used to prevent falls. It means that at any one time, if you have three different body parts supporting you when you are in a dangerously precarious position, you will not collapse and fall. You are not at risk of catastrophic failure.

 Change can feel dangerous.

The fact is, your brain is wired to fear and avoid change. Fear of deprivation, fear of loss of security, fear of the unknown, fear of embarrassment, fear of attention, fear of giving up what’s comfortable, fear of failure. The brain mistrusts all of it, and that’s normal!

My program teaches you 3-point contact through the process of change.

You will not fall.

Right this minute, you have three major systems functioning together to create your body and your current state of health: Physiology, Neurology, and Psychology.

You will learn how these 3 systems are currently working to give you the results you have right now, and how to change them so you can get far healthier results. Mastering how these three systems are working gives YOU the natural “3-Point Contact” you need to carry on, in full control, for life. Learning how this works is a Game Changer!

And you know what? You CAN learn this, and you WILL be successful. I’ve got you. You have 3-point contact every step of the way.

A better you is on the way!
