Food For Thought: Food Is Not A “Four-Letter” Word
FOOD IS NOT A BAD WORD WATCH THE EPISODE BELOW Food Is Not A “Four-Letter” Word. Yes. Food does have four letters in it, but it is not a bad word. We have all of this pain and dysfunction around food because of that diet and exercise model. The diet and exercise model teaches us […]
“Systems” of Weight Loss & Well-Being
“Diet Drama Land” is everywhere and all around you. While some people are so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it (yes, I’m paraphrasing The Matrix) most people are simply unaware.
The fundamental assumptions of the cultural, traditional “diet and exercise” model are constantly reinforced with general every day life. From conversations with friends, to personal development seminars and professional development trainings – many people unwittingly use examples from the core “diet and exercise” model as a way of illustrating concepts when teaching their own content.
But two can play that game! In this episode I turn the tables and use examples of project management systems to describe the Happy Calories Don’t Count® approach.
Enjoy!

Food For Thought: Your Body Is The Vehicle Through Which You Experience Life

“Science Geeks” & “Jesus Freaks” & Healing (with Happy Calories Don’t Count®)
Does the title of this podcast trigger or offend? That’s the underlying psychology of headlines and sound bites – to quickly create an emotional or visceral reaction (to prompt an action).
The problem is that these headlines and sound bites have helped create a culture in which we quickly (and perhaps unconsciously) label each other – thereby allowing us to dismiss the other person as “insert label here.”
This has caused a breakdown in communication and an unraveling of our social fabric.
In this episode I discuss the place where “Science” and “God” meet – the human body.
Using the principles of Happy Calories Don’t Count®, I provide tools to help heal your relationship with your body – and hopefully the world.
Rather than letting our differences divide us, we can use our similarities to unite us.
Cheers!
Escaping Diet Culture & Losing My Religion
Give yourself some grace… Breaking free of Diet Drama Land is as hard as trying to escape a religious cult.
In this episode I share the story of a Preacher Man – who did a FANTASTIC job of delivering the “Gospel of Happy Calories Don’t Count®.” He spoke all about shifting from a paradigm of religious rules to a framework of a divine relationship.
And then… to make a point… he used an example… a subject that is all too often used as a metaphor… because everyone has had some experience with it… weight loss.
And despite the entire sermon being a parallel to the principles of Happy Calories Don’t Count®, when the weight loss example came up – it was from the framework of Diet Drama Land.
Listen to the full episode below to “Lose Your Religion.”

Thy Hypnotic Hold of “Diet Drama Land”
There are reasons that it is so hard to get out – and stay out of – “Diet Drama Land.”
At a societal, cultural level, there is no obvious “opposing view” to help you recognize that there is an alternative way of viewing things. At an individual level, leaps in logic and playing the “comparison game” are two of the biggest traps to keep you stuck.
This episode explores how the chaos of the current moment can provide a touchstone for healing all of the dysfunction around food, exercise your body and your weight so that you can find freedom from food, peace with your body AND optimize your results in a sustainable way.
