Do you have PCOS, menopause, or insulin resistance and feel like weight loss is completely different for you? You've probably joined Facebook groups, read books, and followed experts who told you exactly what to expect with your specific condition. But what if the beliefs you've borrowed from these communities are actually shaping your experience more than you realize? In this episode, we dive into how the stories we tell ourselves about our bodies might be creating the very struggles we're trying to solve. Get ready to question everything you think you know about why weight loss feels so impossible.
01:09: Why People Think Weight Loss Won't Work Common beliefs about why conditions like PCOS, menopause, and insulin resistance make weight loss impossible.
03:30: How Online Communities Shape Your Beliefs The danger of adopting limiting beliefs from Facebook groups and influencers about your diagnosis.
10:00: It's Still About Overeating Real client examples showing that addressing overeating solves the problem, not the diagnosis itself.
18:30: Question Everything You've Been Told Why you should be careful about accepting beliefs from experts and be willing to test them yourself.
24:00: Your Beliefs Create Your Experience How what you think about your condition impacts you more than the condition itself.
