Join our FREE Community for trainings, support, and accountability: Chasing Health: Secrets to Losing 50+ Pounds . On this week’s episode of The Chasing Health Podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Coach Mike Millner on the show! . Being the host of Mind Over Macros, I knew we had to dive into the mindset piece of fat loss! We had a fantastic conversation and I cannot wait for you to listen to this one! . Mike Millner has been a high level nutrition coach for almost 10 years. He has a gift for understanding the psychological and physiological needs of his clients, which has led to thousands of success stories. His personality-based approach with an emphasis on mindset has been highly sought after by coaches and clients alike. . In the episode, we dove into: Mike’s background, how his own health has evolved over his lifetime, and how he ultimately got into coaching. What the term “dieting” means to most people and does dieting actually “work”? When it comes to behavior change, what is most important? How should we be prioritizing behavior change? Is identity change required for fat loss? If so, how do we make that happen? Balance & Moderation… how do these things even work? Especially if we already have a rocky relationship with food. Using self-control and willpower through self-compassion rather than self-hate. Self-control and willpower are muscles… they need training, rest, and recovery, just like our physical muscles of our body. The 3 components of willpower: I Will, I Won’t, & I Want. When would lack of self-control start to be more of a form of self-sabotage? The different forms of self-sabotage. Tactical steps to begin creating awareness around these struggles. What has helped those who have recovered from some of these things that end up falling back into old patterns years later after major weight loss? What is dopamine’s role in our brain? (This part BLEW MY MIND! It makes soooo much sense!) Mike’s 2 recommendations for starting your journey, especially as we move into 2023. . Thank you, Mike, for joining me on the show!
