Weight Loss: Why Mindset Changes Everything

In this episode of *The Holistic Health & Hormones Podcast*, we explore why weight loss isn’t always about food, exercise or willpower—and how mindset, behaviour and the relationship you have with yourself can play an important role in creating lasting change. I’m joined by Nicole Ternay, a two-time TEDx speaker, behavioural and health coach, personal trainer, and host of *Weight Loss for Women Over 40* and *MavenHeart*. With more than 24 years of experience in the weight loss industry, Nicole shares why so many women know what they “should” be doing but still feel stuck when it comes to their health and weight. We discuss the impact of mindset, self-belief, stress and self-criticism on our everyday behaviours, why restrictive diets often fail to create sustainable change, and what it means to build healthier habits without constantly feeling like you’re starting over. We also explore the importance of moving beyond the number on the scale and developing a healthier relationship with food, movement and your body. Rather than constantly fighting against your body, lasting change can begin with learning to understand yourself, your behaviours and the beliefs that may be keeping you stuck.
