vor 6 Tagen40:13

40:13

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston explores the concept of boredom in the context of personal transformation and coaching. He discusses how boredom is often misinterpreted as a lack of motivation, when in fact it signifies emotional disconnection from one's goals and identity. Through a case study, he illustrates the phases of transformation and the common pitfalls that lead to disengagement. Johnston emphasizes the importance of recognizing boredom as a signal for reconnection rather than a problem to be fixed. He outlines practical strategies for coaches to help clients navigate these feelings and maintain engagement in their journeys. Takeaways Boredom is a signal of emotional disconnection, not a lack of motivation. Clients often mislabel their feelings of disengagement as boredom. The journey of transformation has phases, including a honeymoon phase and a maintenance phase. Emotional rewards are crucial for sustaining motivation in behavior change. Boredom can stem from a loss of novelty, identity dissonance, fear of permanence, and protective parts. Coaches should focus on reconnecting clients to their values and identity. Normalizing the dip in motivation is essential for long-term engagement. Reflection prompts can help clients identify their emotional needs. Boredom can lead to a disconnection loop that hinders progress. Real change involves learning to sustain effort even when excitement fades.

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston explores the importance of adaptability in personal transformation, emphasizing that the pressure to adhere strictly to plans can lead to feelings of failure. He discusses the psychological aspects of pivoting, the dangers of perfectionism, and the significance of self-awareness in navigating life's challenges. Through practical scenarios, he illustrates how to pivot gracefully rather than punish oneself for perceived failures, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace flexibility as a strength in their journey towards lasting change.

It's not the breakdown that gets you stuck, but the pressure to return to the plan. Freedom is found in your ability to adapt without shame. Most people would rather stick with a broken plan than risk looking inconsistent. Pivoting is a sign of self-awareness and a leadership move. Consistency is about showing up for yourself, no matter the day. Cognitive flexibility is linked to better problem-solving and resilience. True transformation happens when you can adjust your plans based on your current needs. Perfectionism can lead to burnout and disordered behaviors. You can pivot without starting over; it's about reconnecting with yourself.

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston explores the concept of inner demons and self-sabotage, emphasizing that these parts of ourselves are not enemies but rather protective mechanisms trying to keep us safe. He discusses the importance of understanding and reframing our relationship with these inner conflicts, advocating for self-leadership and compassion as keys to sustainable change. Through personal anecdotes and practical steps, Jeb guides listeners on how to work with their inner demons instead of against them, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

Understanding the origins of your inner conflicts can foster compassion. Fighting against your inner struggles can lead to burnout and chaos. Real change comes from understanding, not force. Every part of you has a positive intention, even if misguided. You can transform self-sabotaging behaviors into constructive habits.

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston explores the complex relationship we have with food, challenging the myths of food morality and the influence of diet culture. He discusses the psychological aspects of emotional eating, the impact of upbringing, and the societal pressures that contribute to unhealthy food relationships. Jeb introduces the Awaken Genius Blueprint, a framework for shifting from rigid food rules to a more flexible, self-led approach to eating. The episode concludes with practical steps for achieving food freedom and fostering a healthier mindset around food. Takeaways Food morality creates guilt and shame around eating. Diet culture promotes black and white thinking about food. Emotional eating is often a response to stress and restriction. The last supper mentality leads to overeating before restrictions. Nutrition is context-dependent; no food is inherently good or bad. Awareness of food rules is the first step to change. Self-leadership involves making choices based on values, not fear. Practicing neutrality in food language reduces guilt. Sustainability in eating is more important than perfection. Small shifts in mindset can lead to lasting change.

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston explores the concept of starting over in the context of food, emotional eating, and personal growth. He discusses the illusion of fresh starts, the dangers of an all or nothing mindset, and introduces the pivot vs. punish framework as a way to foster continuous growth. Jeb emphasizes the importance of self-trust, adaptability, and embedding new habits into daily life to create sustainable change.

Chapters 00:00 The Illusion of Fresh Starts 08:13 Breaking the All or Nothing Cycle 16:05 Building a Mindset of Continuous Growth 25:37 Embedding Change into Daily Life 31:25 Introduction to Food on the Mind Takeaways Transformation isn't just about what's on your plate, it's what's on your mind. The fresh start effect is a comforting illusion that can keep you stuck. You don't need a fresh start; you need a better strategy. Progress is not a light switch; it's a dimmer switch. Pivoting instead of punishing keeps you moving forward. Building self-trust is essential for lasting change. Success is about setting up an environment where the best choice is the easiest choice.

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston explores the complex relationship between self-sabotage and personal growth.

Creating safety within change involves starting small and acknowledging fears. Building trust with oneself is crucial for overcoming self-sabotage. The all-or-nothing mindset can lead to failure; progress is more important than perfection. Understanding internal parts can help in recognizing the reasons behind self-sabotage.

Real transformation happens when we lead ourselves instead of fighting against ourselves. You are not broken; your patterns are adaptations that served a purpose.

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston explores the concept of survival mode, discussing how many people find themselves merely existing rather than truly living. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing when one is stuck in this mode and offers practical steps to break free from it.

Emotional Eating Everything 56:36

vor 24 weeks56:36

56:36

Summary In this episode of Food on the Mind, Jeb Stuart Johnston delves into the complexities of emotional eating, emphasizing that it is not merely a food problem but a coping mechanism rooted in emotional dysregulation. He discusses the misconceptions surrounding emotional eating, the role of the nervous system in triggering these behaviors, and the importance of self-regulation techniques. Johnston highlights the internal conflicts individuals face when trying to break free from emotional eating patterns and offers insights into how to navigate these challenges effectively. In this conversation, Jeb Stuart Johnston delves into the complexities of emotional eating, exploring the inner demons that drive this behavior and offering strategies for breaking free from the cycle. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and integrating the different parts of oneself, such as the perfectionist, the emotional soother, and the inner critic. Johnston provides actionable steps for emotional regulation, reframing the relationship with food, and cultivating a mindset that fosters self-compassion and growth. The discussion culminates in a roadmap for integrating these lessons into daily life, highlighting that true freedom from emotional eating comes from understanding and meeting one's needs in healthier ways. Takeaways Emotional eating is not a food problem; it's about emotional regulation. Many people struggle with dieting due to emotional triggers, not lack of knowledge. Traditional dieting approaches often fail because they ignore emotional drivers. Willpower is a limited resource and cannot sustain long-term change. Removing trigger foods only addresses symptoms, not the underlying causes. Mindful eating is helpful but not a complete solution for emotional eating. Understanding your nervous system is key to managing emotional eating. Regulating your nervous system can help reduce emotional eating urges. Inner conflicts can perpetuate emotional eating cycles. Real change comes from understanding the emotional patterns behind eating. Emotional eating involves opposing forces within your psyche. The perfectionist, soother, and inner critic are key parts in emotional eating. You can't fight emotional eating; you must understand and integrate these parts. Emotional eating is a message about unmet needs, not a failure. Regulating your nervous system is crucial before making food choices. Develop alternative coping strategies that fulfill the same needs as emotional eating. Creating a neutral relationship with food helps reduce cravings. Mindset shifts are essential for lasting change in emotional eating patterns. Self-compassion is more effective than self-judgment in overcoming emotional eating. Building trust with yourself is key to breaking free from emotional eating.

My close friend and yet another mentor of mine joins me for a banger. Mike T is one of the first people I met in the "fitness" world at the Fitness Summit in Kansas City. He talked with me about HRV for quite a bit and who would've known we would be such great friends all these years later. Well, Mike is obviously well known as the guy when it comes to metabolic flexibility but now he's also added physiological flexibility into his repertoire. It all makes perfect sense, we need flexibility to become stronger, more resilient humans. And that is what Mike specializes in. *unfortunately Mike cuts out at about an hour and 6 minutes but most everything is there.

Loved the chance to get to sit down with my friend and one of the most charming people I know, PhD and MD Dr. Tommy Wood. Tommy is truly a multi-disciplinarian with his degree in medicine bolstered by his study of the human brain. He is also the resident statistician at BroResearch, helping us plebeians be a little bit less dumb when interpreting study data. He's also heavily steeped in nutrition and has a deep understanding of the functional medicine world, both the good and not as good. One of the things Tommy and I see eye to eye on is the idea of social responsibility. Be it BLM or social representation in higher ed and science or removing the stigma around weight, Tommy is very vocal that we have not only a societal but also personal responsibility to take care of our fellow humans. While this has lost him favor in some of the darker corners of the interwebs it has further endeared him to me and many others. It is in this spirit that we discuss how one can be healthy at every size, what that means, and what we need to do societally to help ensure a healthy populace regardless of race, gender or socio-economic status. Dr Tommy Wood is one of my favorite people and I feel lucky to count him among my friends in the industry. I think you will probably be just as excited to hear him speak as everyone else who has had the pleasure. Plus, the English accent doesn't ever hurt.…
