    119. Want To Lose 10 Pounds Before Summer? STOP Starting Over and Do This Instead

    Real talk, it is May, summer is literally around the corner, and if you have said "I need to lose 10 pounds before summer" approximately 47 times in the last five years, this episode is for you. Because the problem is not that you can't lose the weight. The problem is that you keep starting over instead of just keeping going. Starting over is not a fresh start. It's the same cycle with a different date on it. And until you break that cycle, the weight is not going anywhere.In this episode, I am breaking down exactly why you keep starting over and it is not a discipline problem or a motivation problem. It is a systems problem. We are talking about why your plan is too perfect for real life, why motivation will always let you down, and why one bad day keeps snowballing into a full restart every single week.But more importantly, I am giving you a simple 4-step summer plan that actually works with your real life, not the perfect version of it. You will learn how to pick one non-negotiable habit that compounds over time, how to make the healthy choice embarrassingly easy, two powerful questions to ask yourself every morning and every night, and why actually living your summer, the barbecues, the pool days, the vacations, is not the enemy of your weight loss. It is actually the key to it.You do not need a new plan. You need to stop abandoning the one that was working. Press play and let's make this the last summer you ever have to start over.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    118. Why Everything You've Heard About Your Metabolism Is Wrong (And What Actually Works for Weight Loss)

    Ever feel like the internet has completely gaslit you about your metabolism? Like you've been cutting carbs, grinding through cardio, and blaming your genetics and still nothing is working? Here's the truth nobody is saying out loud: almost everything you've been told about your metabolism is wrong. And the things you've been avoiding might actually be exactly what your body needs.In today’s episode, I'm busting 3 of the most persistent metabolism myths floating around social media, diet culture, and yes, even some doctors' offices. We're talking about why carbs are not the enemy (your thyroid actually needs them), why doing more exercise can make weight loss harder not easier, and why your genetics are not the death sentence you think they are. This is the episode I wish someone had handed me when I was cutting my protein bar into thirds, doing hours of cardio, and still gaining weight.The truth is your body isn't broken. It's been given the wrong instructions. When you stop restricting carbs out of fear, swap endless cardio for smarter movement, and start pulling the lifestyle levers that actually control your metabolic rate like sleep, protein, stress, and muscle, everything changes. I've seen it in my own 65lb journey and in hundreds of women inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy.You don't need to do more. You need to do what actually works. Press play and let's rewrite the story your metabolism has been trying to tell you all along.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    117. Is Food Noise Sabotaging Your Weight Loss? Here's How to Silence It Naturally (No GLP-1 Needed)

    Can we talk about food noise for a second? That constant mental chatter that starts the second you wake up. What am I going to eat today? Should I have that? I really want that. I shouldn't. Maybe just a little. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone and you are not crazy. Food noise isn't a willpower problem and it's not a character flaw. It's a physiological and psychological response to the way you've been taught to eat, and the good news is it can be healed.In this episode I'm giving you my honest, unfiltered take as a weight loss dietitian on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy and why a prescription is not the answer to silencing food noise for good. Yes, they can quiet the chatter temporarily. But they don't heal the root cause, and for many women the noise comes back louder when they stop. Mindful eating does something medication simply cannot. It dissolves the reason the noise was there in the first place.I'm also walking you through 3 powerful mindful eating strategies that start quieting food noise naturally, sustainably, and without a side effect list. We're talking about giving yourself unconditional permission to eat, reconnecting to your hunger and fullness cues, and eating for satisfaction instead of restriction. These are the exact tools that helped me break a 6-year binge and restrict cycle and lose 65 pounds without ever counting a calorie again.The goal was never just to stop thinking about food. The goal is to feel completely free around it. And that freedom is available to you, no prescription required. Press play and let's get you there.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    115. The 3 Hardest Things Nobody Warned Me About Losing 65 Pounds (And How I Got Through Them)

    Can I tell you something the weight loss industry will never put on a before and after post? Losing weight is HARD. Not just physically, but emotionally, psychologically, and in ways that nobody prepares you for. And that silence does so much damage. Because when you hit the hard parts and you will hit them, and nobody warned you they were coming, you think something is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. The hard parts are where the real transformation actually happens.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the 3 hardest things I experienced on my own 65-pound weight loss journey that completely blindsided me. We're not talking about meal prep or workouts. We're talking about the inside stuff. How my body image actually got worse as I lost weight. How letting go of diet culture felt like grieving a part of my identity. And how the mental work was so much harder than anything physical, and I was completely unprepared for it.These are the things nobody warned me about, and I wish someone had. Because when you hit these moments and feel completely alone in them, it's easy to think you're failing. You're not. You're doing the deepest, most important work of the entire journey. The invisible work that nobody claps for but that makes lasting weight loss actually possible.If you've ever felt more self-conscious as you lost weight, struggled to let go of food rules that felt safe, or wondered why the scale moving still doesn't feel like enough, this episode is going to make you feel so seen. Press play and let's talk about the hard stuff nobody else is willing to say out loud.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    114. Why Your Metabolism Isn’t the Problem—But These 3 “Healthy Habits” Might Be

    Ever feel like your metabolism is broken and that’s why you’re not losing weight? Like you’re eating clean, barely snacking, pushing through workouts, and still the scale won’t move? It can feel so frustrating when you’re “doing everything right” and nothing seems to be working.In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth about your metabolism and why it’s probably not the problem. I’m sharing the 3 “healthy habits” that might actually be slowing your metabolism down, even though they look disciplined on the outside. From under-eating and overdoing cardio to living in constant stress mode, these patterns can quietly signal your body to hold onto weight instead of release it.If you’ve been stuck eating 1,200 calories, chasing sweat sessions, skipping rest, or running on five hours of sleep and calling it hustle, this conversation will be eye-opening. Your metabolism doesn’t respond to pressure. It responds to safety. And when your body feels nourished, strong, and regulated, fat loss becomes so much easier.We’re talking about how to fuel your metabolism properly, why strength training matters more than endless cardio, and how stress and cortisol directly impact belly fat and hormone balance. You don’t need to restrict harder. You don’t need more intensity. You need better signals.Ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it? Press play and let’s rebuild your metabolism in a way that supports sustainable weight loss, real energy, and long-term results.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    113. How Christine Lost 20 Pounds Without Counting a Single Calorie (& Finally Found Food Freedom)

    Ever wondered if mindful eating is actually real or just another buzzword? Today’s episode is such a treat because you’re meeting Christine, a super busy working mom of 2 who just graduated from the Mindful Weight Loss Academy (and let me tell you, her story is incredible!).If you’re burned out on strict meal plans, exhausted from counting macros, or convinced that weight loss requires protein shakes, perfection, and math spreadsheets, this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath. Christine opens up about her biggest lightbulb moments, including the day she realized her body isn’t a trash can for her kids’ leftovers, the moment she understood why the all-or-nothing approach kept her stuck, and how breaking up with old food rules finally helped her lose 20 pounds without counting a single calorie. And yes… she still enjoys her baked goods.We talk all about gentle accountability, why support and community matters so much, and how the right mindset (not another diet) is the real MVP for making changes that last. Christine shares how she went from questioning mindful eating to fully trusting her body, getting stronger, lifting heavier than ever, and literally glowing from the inside out.If you’re ready to feel like you’re finally in the driver’s seat of your health instead of riding shotgun with yet another crash diet, this episode is going to give you every bit of hope, encouragement, and “oh my gosh, me too” energy you need. Whether you're a mama juggling all the things or someone just craving peace with food, Christine’s story will show you what’s possible.xoxo,JackieP.S. Want to see Christine’s before & afters?

We’re diving deep into “food noise” and why it’s NOT a willpower issue (seriously, you’re not broken). It’s a nervous system response fueled by old diet rules, scarcity, and stress.If you feel stuck in cycles of overeating, emotional eating, food guilt, or constant “should I / shouldn’t I” debates in your head, this conversation will change how you see your cravings forever. You don’t need more control. You need more calm. Peace with food is a skill. And in this episode, I’m teaching you exactly how to start building it.Ready to stop living with food on your mind 24/7 and tune into what actually feels good? Press play and learn how to quiet food noise for good so weight loss no longer feels like a constant mental battle.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    109. The Dietitian Who Needed a Dietitian: How Melissa Lost 21 Pounds Postpartum (And Regained Her Confidence!)

    Ever feel like you “should know better” when it comes to losing weight, but something just isn’t clicking? Or that being a mom, busy professional, or even a dietitian should make things easier—but you're still struggling, feeling overwhelmed, and just want to fit back into your pre-baby jeans?That was Melissa. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Melissa, a mom of two, a working dietitian, and one of my recent Mindful Weight Loss Academy grads who came to me six months postpartum, totally overwhelmed, frustrated, and feeling like a failure. She gets real about the moment she finally said YES to help, what it felt like to admit she couldn’t do it alone (even with the tools!), and how she lost 21 pounds WITHOUT counting a single calorie.We talk about the real shifts that made it happen—from learning how to actually listen to her body, to rebuilding confidence, regaining control, and not letting sourdough steal the show. She’s breaking down the wins beyond the scale, major mindset “aha’s,” feeling confident again, and why real accountability (with a coach who actually gets it!) made all the difference.If you’ve ever felt ashamed to ask for help, scared to invest in yourself, or stuck in the “I should know this” spiral—this episode is for YOU.xoxo, JackieConnect with Melissa:Instagram: @melissahohulinMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

DIETS. and nothing sticks, or you’re tired of starting over on Monday, Alana’s story is your proof that it is.

    Okay, let’s be honest—no one told us that one day we’d be googling things like “what the hell is perimenopause?” or “why do I want to eat my weight in Nutella at 3 a.m.?”If you’ve noticed your body changing in your 30s, 40s, or beyond (hi, night sweats, random joint pain, and mood swings for days), THIS is the episode you needed yesterday.

This episode is packed with truth bombs, real talk, and science-backed strategies to help you stop starting over.If you’ve ever felt lost in the “what now?!” maze of midlife, pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or a cold towel 😉), and press play!xoxo, JackieConnect with Kim:Instagram: kimschlagfitnessPodcast: Fitness Simplified with Kim SchlagWebsite: www.kimschlagfitness.comMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    85. How Rebecca Lost 10 Pounds by Breaking All the Rules - “I’ll Never Diet Again!”

    Ever feel like you’ve tried everything to lose weight—Weight Watchers, willpower, the “just don’t buy snacks” approach, and still end up bingeing on pretzels at 10 p.m. wondering what’s wrong with you? So did Rebecca.In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca, a busy single mom of two from LA and a total success story from Mindful Weight Loss Academy (although let’s be real…once a client, always a client ).We’re talking about the moment she hit diet rock bottom, the inner tug-of-war between “I can’t spend money on myself” and “I’m so over this struggle,” and how she finally said YES to herself...after almost walking away.(Spoiler: she said NO after our first call—and then came back a month later ready to change her life.)Rebecca shares her raw and honest journey: from years of yo-yo dieting and late-night binges, to finally finding food freedom through mindfulness and intention. We’re talking about the mindset shift that made food stop controlling her, how she went from snack-obsessed to truly satisfied, and the life-changing non-scale victories she’s celebrated—like having energy for her kids, finally loving her body, and ditching diet culture for good.Real talk: if you’re tired of feeling out of control around food, obsessed with your weight, or convinced you’re just “bad” at healthy eating, you need this episode in your life. Rebecca proves there’s a better way—and it has nothing to do with points, perfection, or “starting over.”Whether you’re on the fence about joining MWLA or you’re just sick of feeling like you’re “failing” at food, Rebecca’s story will leave you inspired, empowered, and maybe even a little emotional.

    82. Can You Really Eat Ice Cream Every Night AND Still Lose Weight? The Truth About Macros with Amber Brueseke

    Ever wondered if counting macros is just another restrictive diet—or if it could actually help you feel more empowered in your weight loss journey? This episode will give you major clarity.In today’s guest episode, I’m joined by the incredible Amber Brueseke—mom of four, former RN, personal trainer, and founder of Biceps After Babies. Amber is living proof that your fittest days can come after babies (and yes, even in your 40s), and she’s here to challenge everything you think you know about dieting and sustainable weight loss.We’re breaking down how macro counting isn’t about eating less—it’s about eating smarter. Amber shares how she used data, not deprivation, to align her nutrition with her goals (and why she ate ice cream every night and still got abs). From building muscle to feeling energized, we talk about using food as a tool—not a punishment—and how to ditch the “all-or-nothing” mindset that keeps so many women stuck.Amber breaks down the difference between using macros as a tool vs. treating them like another restrictive diet, how to get out of the all-or-nothing mindset, and why your “fittest self” might still be ahead of you (even in your 40s, 50s, and beyond).One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Amber introduces the “macro scientist” mindset—where curiosity replaces judgment and numbers become neutral. Whether you’ve been burned by calorie counting in the past, feel stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, or you’re deep into your mindful eating journey—this conversation offers a fresh, freeing perspective on what’s actually possible.xoxo, JackieCONNECT WITH AMBER:Instagram: @biceps.after.babiesPodcast: Biceps After Babies RadioWebsite: Bicepsafterbabies.com MORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?

    76. How to Stay Committed To Weight Loss Even When You Don’t See Results (Yet)

    Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—meal planning, moving your body, working on your mindset—but NOTHING seems to be happening? The scale won’t budge, the jeans aren’t fitting any differently, and you start thinking, “What’s the freaking point?!”If you’ve been stuck in what feels like a never-ending plateau or wondering if your hard work is even making a difference, this episode is your pep talk, strategy session, and permission slip to keep going. Because here’s the truth: progress often looks invisible before it shows up externally. And most women quit right here—right before the breakthrough. Not you.Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own major plateaus (think: two separate times I wanted to quit for MONTHS) and sharing exactly how to keep going even when you don’t see results… yet. We’re getting real about why your habits are working (even if you can’t see it), why consistency always beats intensity, and how focusing on your journey—not the ‘ideal’ or someone else’s Instagram highlight reel—changes everything.Whether you’re plateauing, burned out, or just wondering if your efforts are worth it, this episode is your reminder: just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not working.If you’re ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and actually enjoy your journey, this one’s for you.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?
