Description

A weekly dose of practical encouragement and science-backed strategies to help you persevere in your pursuit of health, wholeness, and joy. Tired of confusion, myths and pricey gimmicks keeping you from progress in lasting weight loss? The “calories in-calories out” model is outdated! Let's talk about the failure of diet culture and the diet industry, which shrink our wallets while obesity rates keep climbing. Lets talk about the hormonal shifts that can act like a key to unlock extra energy stored as fat, and get caught up on the most cutting-edge science surrounding weight loss and healthy habits. But knowing how science works on a cellular level isn’t enough to get your brain on board when it comes to sticking with habit changes…Go beyond the science, dig deeper to find the roots of what drive us to overeat. It’s never just about the food—we need minds steeped in true thoughts, hearts full of courage and perseverance, and souls that feast on goodness and beauty. Find the clarity and confidence to finally make progress with your health, so you can to do what you love, and show up as your best in your calling and for those you serve and love. This is about the pursuit of grace instead of perfection, wholeness instead of wellness, and surrender over self-care. This is about more than just that number on your scale. Join Sarah Wells, MD, a Christian physician and weight loss coach, trained in obesity medicine and certified in Lifestyle Medicine. She also brings the personal experience of years maintaining a 90+ pound weight loss, while enjoying life as a busy wife and mom of four, with the energy to run marathons. ©2020 Joy+Full Weight Loss and Wellness, LLC Disclaimer:This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and solely as a self-help tool for your own use.
