Episode Summary: I recently decided to go back into a weight loss phase, and in this episode, I'm telling you exactly why. Spoiler alert: it's not because I hate my body or feel like a failure—it's because of what I learned about how excess body fat impacts your brain, your long-term health, and your everyday clarity, energy, and decision-making. We'll talk about: Why "feeling fine" can actually be a red flag if it keeps you stuck in complacency What I'm changing—even though I was already eating well and exercising How excess fat reduces brain volume, blood flow, and function (even if you feel healthy) Why your brain is absolutely capable of healing and what it needs to do that The real meaning of anti-inflammatory weight loss (and it's not just about food) I'm also answering some of the biggest questions that come up around inflammation and weight, including: Can you heal your brain if damage has already been done? What if you know you need to lose weight but you're just not ready? What if you're overwhelmed and don't know where to start? How do you even know if inflammation is a problem for you? 💥 Ready to take action in January? Join me for IMPACT: Inflammation, starting January 5th.

1364: Avoidance Feels Safer. That's the Lie
You're not avoiding the scale. You're not avoiding the bank statement. You're not avoiding the hard conversation or the overflowing inbox. You're avoiding how you think you'll feel when you see it. But here's the truth: You already feel that way. You already feel heavy. You already feel ashamed. You already feel anxious and behind and overwhelmed. Avoidance doesn't protect you — it prolongs your suffering. It doesn't delay the pain — it drains you slowly while convincing you that you're safe. In this episode, we're unpacking: Why avoidance feels like safety but functions like a trap What you're really running from (hint: it's not the number) Why facing it now is easier than carrying it another day And how to start moving forward — even if you're scared This is the wake-up call for anyone avoiding the thing they know they need to face. The number. The truth. The next step. If you're ready to stop circling the truth and start standing in it — this one's for you.

BONUS: This Was Chris's Idea...
Don't wait. Join me. This is a life-changing opportunity, and I say that with every ounce of seriousness that your life and your goals deserve! Secure Your Spot
Why are we so stressed & overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change? Because we keep focusing on the habits we want instead of building the skill of consistency that allows us to achieve them. Consistency is a skill. It's a superpower. It isn't one-size-fits all. It unlocks any door and makes every goal achievable. A more effective, realistic approach starts here.
