#293: Why Weight Loss Doesn't Heal Shame — And How Faith + Brain Science Creates Lasting Freedom

WEBVTT
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:03.120
Why doesn't shame leave when the weight does?
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.440
The weight was never the problem.
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:07.839
The weight was just a symptom.
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:22.239
If you're tired of doing all the right things and still feeling exhausted, stuck in your body, and disconnected from God, this podcast is for you.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:22.960
I'm Dr.
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:32.240
Tabitha, a triple board certified functional medicine physician, and I help women stop fighting their bodies and start healing them God's way.
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:33.840
Let's get into it.
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.479
Welcome back to the Fast of Faith podcast.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.439
Ooh.
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:44.479
Hey girl.
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:44.960
Hey.
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:45.679
Hey.
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:46.960
How's it going?
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.560
Oh, it's going.
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.159
I am not loving the snow, but you know what I am loving?
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.560
This new song by Katie Nicole called Have Your Way.
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:05.200
It is like I was belting this out, and I have no voice to be singing this song, but that's what the car is for, right, ladies.
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.719
Like, Lord have your way in my life, in my heart, in my soul, and my mind.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.200
Lord have your way every time.
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:20.799
And she talks about just raising her hands, bowing down on her knees, and just singing, Lord Have Your Way with me.
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.680
And I was like, this is the anthem for today's episode with our guest.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:32.560
And I was just, I wanted to hit it on replay like so many times because I was feeling it in every cell of my being.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:33.920
So yeah, I love that.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.079
I love a good car worship session.
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:37.519
Yeah.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:38.400
Always fun.
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:38.799
Yes.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:39.200
Yeah.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:46.480
I also think it's funny that you're talking about snow because this episode's not airing for a while, and it'll be summer here and it'll be beautiful.
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:56.000
And so, in fact, actually, this morning I walked out, let to let my dogs out, and I was like, they always say, move to Michigan, it's beautiful in the summer, but they forget about the constant snow.
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:57.439
So, yes.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:07.120
So, what I love is walking out there and just thinking of the verse, Lord, you took my scarlet and you made it pure as snow.
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.360
And I just feel super cleansed today.
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.879
So that's what's getting me through this cold, cold weather.
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:13.919
Yeah.
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:22.400
So let's dive in because today's conversation is super important because we get women coming to us who are struggling with food.
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:34.879
Um, if you are struggling with lack of discipline, this episode is for you, or you feel like I just don't have enough willpower, or I'm not even motivated at this point to change.
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.479
I'm just losing hope.
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:43.360
Um and the truth is we're trying to fight a pattern that's going on in our brain.
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:50.879
And God is not trying to take away these issues, He's trying to navigate it, navigate us through.
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.680
So I'm excited about this conversation.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.680
When uh Christy connect us with Leanne, um, I was like, yes, this is my girl.
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:02.240
I want to introduce Leanne Ellington.
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:09.840
She is a self-image scientist, a writer, a podcaster, and creator of the stressless eating system.
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:11.680
Gosh, I love that name.
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:18.159
She helps women break free from toxic thought patterns, food obsession, and shame.
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:27.280
And not through more dieting, but through rewiring the brain, the identity and the nervous system that's at the root of your issues.
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.599
So doesn't that speak so deeply to you?
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:30.080
It does.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.080
And it's such a crux of where we what we do every day in Fast of Faith.
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:42.319
But I think what was most powerful when I was reading your story, Leanne, was that you've lost a hundred pounds and that you went to Weight Watchers at eight years old.
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.919
But when you lost that 100 pounds, you didn't lose the shame and all the other things that come.
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:49.520
Those things were still a part of you.
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.879
So that's what I'm excited to hear that side of your story today.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:53.840
Yeah.
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:54.400
Awesome.
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:55.919
So welcome.
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.719
Thank you so much for that beautiful introduction.
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.840
And I love the the intersection of the work that we're doing and how where this conversation is going.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.520
I'm excited for God to just let him lead the way.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:21.519
Yeah, I want to hear more about this Weight Watchers at eight years old because obviously so much of our programming happens as children before we are even cognizant of like the thoughts we're having.
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.720
So is that what really started it out for you?
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.480
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I never set out to do this work.
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:40.480
You know, I was actually, you know, girl, teenager into a you know, grown adult woman, standing in my kitchen eating peanut butter straight out of the jar, swearing I would be good on Monday for the thousandth time.
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.839
Um, because I had been on every diet since I was eight.
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:51.839
You know, Weight Watchers, it was called Atkins at the time, you know, the appetite suppressant, you know, trend, um the fasting, all of it.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.240
And I could lose weight, um, but I'd always gain it back plus more.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.519
It would come back with interest.
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:05.759
But I was always also, um, interestingly enough, that when we're talking about the faith piece of this, um, I am a Jewish gal.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.519
So I didn't grow up with faith.
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.879
And so I was carrying all of this shame and self-hatred and nowhere to put it, you know?
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.920
And then it really came to a head in my early 20s.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:37.759
I now call it the cost of skinny because I ended up on an operating table at the Cleveland Clinic needing major spine surgery because I had been essentially abusing my body and punishing it and treating it like this thing that I was stuck with since I was a child, instead of something to be taken care of and learn to get on the same team as and something that was actually precious.
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:44.079
And the surgery changed everything for me because during recovery, I started discovering the nervous system.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.600
I was telling you guys, I didn't even know what the nervous system was at the time.
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.759
It was out of uh requirement.
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:56.079
I needed to learn what it was out of my own healing journey because there was a lot of stuff that happened off the back of that surgery.
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:04.959
But that's when I realized when we're talking about the nervous system, it's not just this physiological nervous system, it's mental, it's emotional, it's spiritual, right?
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.480
It's all interconnected.
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:11.759
And so um, you know, within that time, I literally had to learn how to walk again.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.759
And in that process, I learned that my body wasn't the enemy.
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:26.240
Um, and and again, that's when I started stumbling into the research side of neuroscience and about neural pathways and and how it related to stress eating, because I didn't realize that the two could be interconnected.
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.519
And so I was like, it made me realize, wait a minute, my brain was just doing what I trained it to do.
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:43.120
Because again, even though I was helping other women lose weight in my in my first career, I still behind the scenes was, you know, drastically reducing calories and working off every cupcake and all of the things.
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.079
And that's when I realized, oh, I just trained it.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.839
I fired and wired it a certain way because I didn't know what I didn't know.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.720
Um, and that this isn't about willpower.
00:06:52.879 --> 00:07:02.560
Um, and so then on in parallel to that journey, a few years later, I, you know, this bacon loving Hebrew speaking Jew stumbled into a church.
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.600
Um, and I was looking for God for the first time.
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.839
And I discovered that the God that I never knew actually loved me in all of that mess.
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:18.480
And that it wasn't about, you know, God loving me when I was thin and not when I was good enough, but like right there in my brokenness.
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:30.079
And that is what it all really came together and clicked that, you know, God designed our brains to change and that neuroplasticity is his design, and that I wasn't broken.
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.240
I just needed to learn how to partner with how he made me.
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.639
Um, and so the obsession continued.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:53.040
What started out just studying, you know, the neuroscience-based everything and nervous system regulation and like the neuropsychology, neurobiology piece of it, that's when the faith piece of the puzzle really filled in the blanks of all the stuff I couldn't, you know, personal develop my way through.
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:59.759
Um and that's where, you know, along along this journey, I was I was kind of my own guinea pig.
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.639
Um, but it it all just transformed me.
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:07.680
Not just the weight, but my whole relationship with my body and food completely transformed.
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.399
And now I guide women through the same process.
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:16.240
I've been doing it for 15 years, but really inviting the faith piece of it wasn't present until about six years ago.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:25.920
Um and it turns out that when you combine brain science with faith, that's when you can finally receive, because it's under we we understand it logically, right?
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.680
But actually receive that no, God's not mad at you, he's not punishing you.
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:34.240
Your brain can actually change and you can partner with him and invite him into that process.
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.320
And that is where the magic happens.
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.039
Oh my gosh, this is so good, girl.
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.600
I am telling you, our stories are so parallel.
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:50.480
And I was doing all of this healing work helping women, and God really put it on my heart.
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.320
You have to nourish their soul, you have to add this faith piece.
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:08.000
And for me, it was the game changer because it's like we can diet and we can force ourselves or we can, you know, follow a plan for just so long, especially if we get results.
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.360
We're we're more apt to want to stick with it longer.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:23.200
But at the end of the day, if you are not renewing your mind and becoming a new creation in Christ, you will fall back to your old ways, to your old habits.
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:34.399
And I would love for you to speak to like what is the first thing that you tell women, this is where we need to start.
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.360
This is the beginning of the process.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.960
Is it getting in the word?
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.440
Is it praying differently?
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.200
Like, what is your secret, Scott?
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:49.200
Yeah, you know, it's it's almost like the step that happens before the step would be my answer.
00:09:49.360 --> 00:10:04.720
Because before we can get into the how and the what and what we're gonna do to transform your mind and renew your soul and and and completely change the wiring in your brain, first you have to acknowledge that we that there, that this is the problem that needs to be solved, right?
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:10.879
Because a lot of women, at first, they come to me and they think they have a food problem, a weight problem, a self-sabotage problem.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:18.799
And the first thing I need to help them realize is well, actually, no, that's all downstream from what's causing it, which is up in the brain.
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:28.799
But when I say brain, I mean yes, the physiological, the nervous system, the firing and wiring and the circuitry and that side of it, but then also what our mind has trained our brain to become, right?
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.559
So the self-image, the identity, the beliefs that are shaping the behaviors.
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:43.039
And as long as women are looking at it as just a habit shifting or behavior change conversation, they're in the wrong conversation because they're going to be chasing the wrong rabbit hole, so to speak, right?
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:50.320
So the first thing is getting them to identify, like, no, this is I'm I've been solving the wrong problem, and that's why all of this stuff hasn't worked.
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.559
It's actually been designed not to, you know, it's not that these systems failed me, it's just they were never designed to address the real issue.
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.559
So that's the first piece of the puzzle.
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:06.480
And then I believe it's a matter of saying, okay, this is where I'm ready to take radical responsibility and take back my power.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.639
And when I say my power, I don't mean a self-sufficiency conversation.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:22.879
I mean a conversation where it's like, okay, this is where I go use my free will to take radical responsibility of what's going on in between my ears, because that's the part that God can't do for us, right?
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:36.320
And then we invite him into that conversation of the soul-based, the spirit-based, all of that, so that what we know about scripture to be true, because we know it logically, but it can actually be received in our head and in our hearts.
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:56.960
So really that shift has to go from realizing that this is not a physiological problem, even though they're it's manifesting physiologically and they think it has to do with their body and food itself, and showing them that no, that's actually downstream being caused by what's going on upstream in the head, the heart, the nervous system, the brain, the wiring, the circuitry, the self-image, all of that.
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.159
But then also getting them to say, okay, I am done.
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:05.919
I'm at that point where, and it doesn't have to be a rock bottom, but I'm done, you know, recycling the same pain.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.399
I'm done going down this definition of insanity.
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:16.240
I'm ready to do the part that I haven't done, which is use my free will to go rewire my brain and then invite God into that conversation.
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.440
So that's why I say it's kind of like the steps before the steps.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:20.879
I love that so much.
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:30.399
And as you're speaking, I'm thinking of 2 Timothy and like God did not give us a spirit of fear and this spirit of like being timid and afraid.
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.279
We have to take action and you know, go after it.
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:44.480
And I love that you mentioned free will because that is the piece that a lot of women don't understand or realize.
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:51.360
Like, yeah, you have to be available and able, but you also have to be willing, a willing participant.
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:56.480
And so I I love that you're speaking to like creating a new identity.
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.600
That's what we talk about.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.399
Like, what is your Christ-centered identity?
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:05.120
How are you showing up through his eyes?
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:12.799
And that is how you can start to shed off a lot of these lies and limiting beliefs that women have.
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:28.320
I would love for you to speak to prayer because, you know, I know for me, I used to beg like a poor pathetic girl who didn't realize she had any power or authority in this space.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:36.480
And so it would be like, please, God, please take this away from me, fix this person, um, give me this.
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:43.919
And it's really pathetic looking back at it now, but that's how we are taught to pray, I think, in society.
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:52.559
And if you could just speak to like what that is doing to us um mentally and emotionally.
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:54.000
Absolutely.
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.559
Yeah, this is one of, I think, the game changers.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.000
Because, like you said, you learned it too.
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:05.759
You learn like if I just pray hard enough, then maybe all of my, you know, worst, you know, habits will be taken away from me and I'll be transformed just through prayer.
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.159
Um, and I'm not diminishing prayer, right?
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:16.159
Because it's a massive part of this, but we have to learn how to use prayer under the laws of how our brains actually work and how they transform.
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.639
And this is the biggest roadblock I see.
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:25.279
Women praying for decades, but they're un inadvertently actively refusing God's help, right?
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.799
And we all heard the drowning woman paradox, right?
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:36.639
Or drowning man, like a man is caught in a flood, water's rising, he climbs to the top of his roof and praise God, please save me.
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.879
A neighbor comes by in a canoe, right?
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.799
No thanks, God'll save me.
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.440
That's what he says.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.759
And then the water keeps rising higher, higher.
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.120
A rescue boat arrives.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.799
It's a beautiful rescue boat, right?
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.120
He's like, Nope, I'm waiting for God to save me.
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.559
And then finally, a helicopter drops a ladder, right?
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.039
And he's like, Nope, waiting for God to save me.
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:56.720
And so the man drowns.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:04.240
And as this, you know, this parable goes, or whatever you want to call it, in heaven, he asks God, like, why didn't you save me, God?
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:09.679
And God said, I sent you a canoe, I sent you a boat, I sent you a helicopter.
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.200
What more did you want?
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:11.840
Right.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.840
And so we're relying on things that are outside of us, right?
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.840
The raft is that book that could have helped, but we never actually applied it.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.720
We tried to information our way through an emotional problem.
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:30.720
Or the boat was the the friend who actually found freedom and tried to share it, but we we weren't listening because we were like, nope, God's gonna do this for me.
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:36.799
Or, you know, the helicopter is the the actual program you went through and said, no, I'll just pray harder, right?
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:43.440
And so when we say I'm waiting for God, and I mean this with so much love because you know, we again you're saying you've done it, we've all done it.
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.759
This is what like this is why we want to speak about it.
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:51.759
But when we say I'll I'll wait for God to do it, to me, that is spiritual bypassing, right?
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.960
We are literally drowning while pushing away the rescue, right?
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.639
And God's up there being like, I'm sending help, why won't you take it?
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:00.960
Right.
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.759
And this is where we were talking about free will earlier.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:08.720
And I believe that there's a hard truth about that that we need to understand, which we touched on earlier.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:14.320
But it's like, yes, God gave us brains that can change neuroplasticity, a thousand percent.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.440
That's his design.
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:16.879
No question about that.
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:24.320
But like we were saying before, he cannot, and I will add in, will not, override our free will.
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:30.080
Because love, love for ourselves, love for our health, it requires choice.
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.759
And when we are praying, praying, praying, and we are not taking action, that is what I call delusional optimism, right?
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:44.559
It's like praying for a garden but refusing to plant the seeds, you know, faith without works is dead.
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.879
James knew about neurowiring.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.840
I truly believe that.
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.000
And so you can't just pray harder and expect different results.
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.200
That's literally that what we hear, the definition of insanity, right?
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.600
So, what's the alternative, right?
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.480
I believe it's a partnership model, right?
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:08.559
And so, you know, when we like I said, God provides the neuroplasticity, the miraculous ability to change, right?
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.319
And we have to provide the daily practice and the showing up differently.
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.440
And that's where a lot of us need a map because we don't know what we don't know.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:23.119
But the problem is our, you know, I call it the diet brain, which is that short-term gratification trap.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.519
Give me weight loss, give me quick-term results, right?
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.559
That diet brain keeps repeating the old patterns.
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:32.319
The diet brain is also not just a food-based thought process.
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:43.039
It's your beliefs, it's your self-image, it's how you see yourself, it's how you perceive yourself in relation to yourself, in relation to other people, in relation to what you think other people think about you.
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.119
Like there's so much going on up there, right?
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:51.279
And so that old brain keeps repeating the same patterns, repeating the same patterns because it's all it knows, right?
00:17:51.599 --> 00:18:00.160
And so that's where, yes, we definitely need proper guidance and accountability to break that cycle, like physical therapy for the brain.
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.039
Um, and and that's where God often works through others, like you guys are doing with this podcast, right?
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:06.720
That is the body of Christ.
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:30.319
Um, but this is where you need, in my opinion, like an intensive an intensive period of rewiring versus what we're seeing a lot out in the world is like endless years of therapy or talking about the problem or going back and going back and recycling the past and rehashing the past and psychoanalyzing what happened when we were five, which is valid.
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:38.720
It's all great data, but most women just need don't want to go back and live old thoughts and theories and stories.
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.240
They want to learn how to not bring those patterns into their future with them, right?
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:52.799
And so, bottom line, to put our wrapper around this, like you can't pray away neural pathways that you are actively reinforcing every single day.
00:18:53.039 --> 00:19:03.279
And so every day we stand in that pantry or we commit to the next diet or whatever it is, we're just repeating the same pattern and in turn strengthening those pathways.
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:20.720
And I believe God is waiting for us to just pick up the tools that He's already given us, but we also need a new way of thinking because He's not gonna go override your free will, but He's given us a brain that can change and then often sends people and paths in our way to help us.
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:26.720
But then the question again, full circle, becomes like, are you going to get in the boat?
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:29.759
Yes, absolutely.
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.119
I love this so much.
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:36.799
So just to reiterate, the first thing is you need to take every thought captive.
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.759
You need to have this meta-awareness and and notice your thoughts.
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:46.160
When you're thinking a thought, you have to be able to step back and notice it and be curious.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:47.279
Does this serve me?
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:48.160
Is this kind?
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:49.599
Is this necessary?
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.599
Most likely not.
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.279
And then we need to rewrite that story, rewire our brain.
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:03.920
And, you know, Ashley's our coaching director for the academy, and we get a lot of stories from women.
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:15.519
And it takes a while to start to change that narrative and you know, really rewrite that story from God's perspective.
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:20.880
Um, I was wondering, Ashley, are you thinking of anything right now as it pertains to this?
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:22.000
Yeah, I am actually.
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:29.599
I actually am thinking about so we had a we have a meeting that we do every week um with uh all of the people in our our current group.
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:43.440
And one of our coaches actually wrote in um the chat yesterday that she heard from God and God told her that if you're not trusting your body to heal and change, it's like you're not trusting me.
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:55.359
And that was so like, I was like, oh my gosh, that makes so much sense because she could be continuously praying for change, but if she's not trusting that that change is gonna happen, she's not rewiring her brain.
00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:04.720
And so I think it kind of wraps all of this up in a with a big bow that it is so important that we trust God that He is gonna give us what we need.
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:11.279
And He already gave us this amazing body, and we all look different for a reason and for a purpose.
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.640
And so it's super powerful.
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.039
I text her afterwards and I was like, thank you for saying that.
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.680
Like, I don't know who you said it for, but it meant a lot to me.
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:23.599
And then I was preparing for the show this morning and reading everything, and I was like, Oh, now I know why she said that yesterday.
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.720
This all makes sense.
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.039
And so I wanted to make sure I shared that today.
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:38.559
But yeah, I mean, we we see it every single day in our groups and our coaches see it every day that women have to trust, but they have to take the step and use the tools.
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.519
And if they just keep making excuses, they're not going to change.
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:54.240
Well, and then the shame piece of it, like we we want to, but Leanne, I want you to talk about this because you say, like, you lose the weight, but the shame doesn't automatically leave with it.
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.200
So I think that's where women get stuck, right?
00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:58.640
Yeah, absolutely.
00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.599
Yeah, and it does have.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.599
Into what you were just saying as well, this trust piece of the puzzle.
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.000
Um, and then why doesn't the shame go away?
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:16.720
So part of it is what I'm experiencing from my work, and this is just what I'm not saying like this is what it is, but this is just what I believe based on the experiences I've had and the work that I've done.
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:22.079
The trusting in God process is a symptom or a result of we don't trust ourselves.
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:30.319
There's an integrity gap between what we're saying and what we're doing, what we believe and what we know to be true, and then what we're witnessing ourselves showing up as.
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:35.680
And so there's this version of us that we all have that it's like, this is who God designed me to be.
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:42.240
This is what I know is true, this is who I am, who I know the best version of me would be showing up as.
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:50.079
And then we have that version that we're witnessing every single day, day in, day out, and we're witnessing ourselves show up out of alignment with that version.
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:56.640
And the gap in between those versions of ourselves, that is where the deepest shame lives, right?
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:10.559
And so if we don't go through a process of earning back our own trust, earning back our own self-respect, and not just in a fluffy, frilly way of like, I am trustworthy and I believe myself when our subconscious self-image is gonna call BS on that, right?
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:22.720
Um, if we don't go through the process of earning back our own trust and respect, that trust that we know logically that we can give and have within with our within our relationships with God will never fully feel aligned.
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.599
And so that shame piece of the puzzle dovetails into what you just specifically asked.
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:30.799
Like, why doesn't shame leave when the weight does?
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:31.279
Right.
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.519
And so I first discovered this.
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:35.759
This this one's personal because this is what I lived.
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:42.400
You know, I lost close to 100 pounds in my early 20s, I did everything right, um, right in air quotes, right?
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.960
I controlled my food, I exercised obsessively, I white-knuckled my way to a smaller body.
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:55.359
Um, and I thought, when I'm thin, then I'll finally feel good enough, I'll feel worthy, I'll feel free.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.079
But the shame didn't leave with the weight.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:02.240
And so I had this newer body, but I still hated myself.
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.960
And I was still obsessed with food, right?
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:15.119
Only this time it was like, oh my gosh, if I don't keep controlling it, I'm gonna go back off the deep end, I'm gonna gain a bunch of weight, all the things, because subconsciously I knew that I hadn't really healed the real problem.
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.440
But that being said, that's because the weight was never the problem.
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:21.359
The weight was just a symptom.
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.640
The real problem was my identity and the belief system that I was operating from.
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:40.960
And not just the like, yes, there were the more obvious ones, like the belief that I, and some would say these are the least obvious ones, but like the belief that I wasn't enough or that I was too much, and that if they really got to know me, I would be too much for whoever they they were.
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:47.440
But also I learned that I had to earn love and I had to perform to get approval and worthiness.
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.799
And then in the midst of that, I learned that I couldn't be trusted around food and that my body was the enemy.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.839
There were just so many different like threads of stories that were interwoven into one.
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.839
And that's what I mean when I say self-image.
00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:02.319
It's the lens that we're seeing ourselves through.
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.559
And when that lens is distorted, everything is distorted, right?
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.000
And so now working with women, here's what I see.
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:11.039
Same thing.
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.279
They think that if they just lose the weight, everything is going to be better.
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.720
But then a lot of them come to me after they've lost the weight, right?
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:33.119
They're at their goal weight and they still feel anxious and they're still obsessed and they're still using food to cope because they don't know how to be emotionally and spiritually available to themselves in those moments instead of relying on food or wine or Netflix, right?
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:41.599
Because the problem is they change their behavior, they change their habits, but they didn't change their brain.
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.680
They didn't change their identity and they didn't heal the root.
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:50.319
And so what does it look like to actually heal it at the root, right?
00:25:50.400 --> 00:26:03.519
Because I just said a minute ago, like what I don't believe it is, is us going back and like unpacking and psychoanalyzing and regressively just like looking backwards at the past, aka focusing on the problems.
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.160
So, what does it look like to heal at the root?
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.599
Well, first we talked about that identity transformation, right?
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.079
You it's not just enough to lose the weight.
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:20.880
You've got to stop seeing yourself as the woman who struggles with food, or as the woman who this is who I am no matter what, right?
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:30.720
You have to start seeing yourself as the woman who is free, not someday, but like has the ability to be free right now, independent of how long you've been this way.
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:31.119
Right.
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:43.440
And you've got to anchor that identity before you talk about behavior changes, in my opinion, or else you'll always end up right back in alignment with what your self-image believes to be true about you.
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:55.519
And if your self-image believes to be true about you, that you're the woman who struggles with food, or that you're the woman who no matter what happens when stress get goes up, she her, she self-abandons or she goes out the window, right?
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:04.160
Even if these aren't conscious, right, you'll always end up right back in alignment with what you believe to be true about yourself, right?
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:12.160
So, and then obviously we, you know, things like nervous system regulation, because most emotional eating isn't about food.
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:18.000
It's about a very dysregulated nervous system and using food to just soothe a numb and cope.
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.920
So you've got to learn how to regulate that.
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.559
And then the belief rewiring comes with that, right?
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.920
The identity piece of the work is a part of that is identifying the subconscious beliefs.
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:31.279
Cause again, a lot of them aren't conscious, um, and go rewire them.
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:37.359
Like, and like I said, not just cover it with positive affirmations, actually rewire them at the neural level.
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.079
And so, how do we rid ourselves of the shame?
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.759
That's what I believe is the work.
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:46.640
I know it's not the sexy stuff that like everyone on the internet is trying to sell.
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:51.279
It's because it's not a quick fix, but I believe it's the only thing that creates lasting freedom.
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:52.880
And notice it was a bunch of things.
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.480
It's a three-dimensional process, it's not just one-sided.
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.839
I think so.
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:04.480
Listening to that, here's what I heard was it's it's almost easier to lose the weight.
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:10.160
It's the internal work that no one can see because no one's praising you for getting rid of your shame.
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:15.279
And so there's not constant affirmation, but when you start to change your look, people notice that.
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:27.440
And so I think that's where what the work you're doing and the work that Tabitha is doing is so important because that is what we are doing, is we are praising women for changing that shame and letting go of that weight.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.000
I think that is that's the game changer right there.
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:31.599
So that's what I heard the whole time you were talking.
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.079
Absolutely.
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:35.039
Is it's it's the work no one sees, right?
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:38.000
It's the almost like thankless work that you're doing.
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:43.279
Um, especially if you're someone that strives off of affirmation and you don't get that.
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:44.160
Sure.
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:44.799
Yeah.
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.000
And and spot on what you just said, so well said.
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:53.599
And and that's why I believe, and that's why one of the things we do within my work is we've got to change the definition of success, right?
00:28:53.680 --> 00:29:04.480
Because our definition of success is like chasing skinny, chasing a a smaller size, and maybe it's not even just weight, it's like more money in the bank, more compliments, more likes on Facebook, whatever it is.
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:06.400
We all have our own things that we've chasing.
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:07.920
I've used them all, right?
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:09.759
So there is no shame about it.
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:13.519
But that's when we are, when that is what we are using.
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:24.880
If all of our our eggs, metaphorical eggs in the self-worth basket are these external factors and we never learn to create an internal currency, it's always gonna feel empty and meaningless.
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:35.119
That's why when we get everything that we ever wanted, but we don't do that internal work, it feels empty and meaningless because it is, because it'll never fulfill your soul.
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:57.759
And that's where, again, I believe it's the beauty of inviting God into it, not down the road, but like from day zero, from day one, having God invited into that conversation so that, you know, again, these external quantifiables that we're using to dictate our success, and that's in turn what other people notice, that is what's driving the bus.
00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:59.839
And that's what leaves us feeling empty and meaningless.
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:22.240
And the beautiful thing is that when you change this currency that you're using, so it goes from an external currency that you're looking for other people to validate to this internal currency, I call it self-endorsement, being able to receive the beauty of who you are, the awesomeness of who you are, the amazingness of who you are, and not from this cocky self-righteous place, no, from the place of like God sees you this way.
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:24.000
When are you gonna get the memo?
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:28.079
Yeah, you know, kind of way to actually receive it and stand in the knowingness of it.
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:37.119
And when you stand in the knowingness of that, the compliments and success and and weight change and all of that, those are they're they're fun to have.
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.880
They're icing on the cake because we're human and like that stuff feels great.
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.160
But you want it, but you don't need it to survive.
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:55.119
You want it, but you don't need it to know who you are to survive, to to know who you are and the knowingness of who you are, to to the reflection of your self-image finally aligns with what God says about you.
00:30:55.279 --> 00:31:06.640
And it's not that you won't care what other people think, because you will, we're wired to care, but you what you believe about yourself and what you can now receive from God, you'll care way more about that.
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:08.720
So good.
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:14.559
Real quick, I just want to interrupt this conversation for something super important.
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:25.759
Even though we need to take care of ourselves spiritually, emotionally, and physically, we do have to take care of ourselves at a cellular level.
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.279
And that is why I have my Fast to Face supplement line.
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:37.440
So let's just take a minute to hear about something that might be the game changer that you need in this season.
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.359
Here's one of the things that the GLP1 drugs don't do.
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:49.039
They don't increase your metabolism, and they don't also increase your body's natural production of GLP1.
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:54.160
What metabolit will do is it's a combination of plant extracts.
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:56.559
So it's lemon verbena and hibiscus.
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:05.519
Now, those two have been researched, studied, and patented together as a duo to increase GLP1 by 55% in the body.
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.359
It's doing it naturally.
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:13.119
It's gonna naturally help you lower cravings and you're gonna feel a little bit fuller.
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:17.119
In the clinical trials, they studied obese and overweight patients.
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:23.839
The obese patients lost on average 10 pounds over two months, and overweight it was eight pounds over two months.
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:27.119
So this isn't gonna get you to the point where you don't ever want to eat.
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:28.559
You're just not gonna feel as hungry.
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.240
You're just mildly full.
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:35.839
But you're still gonna be, you know, consuming food and then also increasing your metabolism as well.
00:32:39.680 --> 00:33:09.839
This conversation is so necessary right now in society because women and men are dropping weight like nobody's business on these GLP ones, and nobody is addressing any of this identity stuff, and nobody is working on rewiring the brain, and the pendulum is gonna swing back hard, and these people are going to be searching for this uh answer, for this understanding.
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:22.400
So I'm so grateful that you're doing this work and you're getting this message out there because millions of people are needing it and they're about to really need it.
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:26.079
I I love God is so good, like He knows what's coming.
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:34.799
You just have to trust because I tell you, like a year ago, we were thinking this message is not gonna be received.
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:44.000
Like, we're gonna have to bait women in with weight loss and then, you know, spring this on them because here's the real truth of what you need to do.
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:51.759
And God kept saying, Nope, you know, just trust me that this is what needs to happen, this rewiring.
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:56.079
And so he was revealing it ahead of the need.
00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:05.119
I think it's so beautiful, and I'm just excited to see you're out there doing this, and you are helping so many women with your podcasts.
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:11.199
Please share with my listeners where they can find you and work with you, all of the things.
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.360
I love that you have more than one podcast.
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.960
Like, this is such a good topic.
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.840
You're like, I'm tackling this all over the place.
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:20.400
Well, that is a God thing as well.
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:29.920
I did not seek out to be a professional podcaster, but iHeart found me and gifted me with the opportunity to for their support and them to rally around.
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:35.280
So uh one of my podcasts is called Out Way, and I co-host it with Amy Brown from the Bobby Bones show.
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:40.320
Um, and we talk about all things food and body-related, disordered eating, self-image, body image.
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:42.639
Um, but it is a more secular-based podcast.
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:49.440
And then where um iHeart has also gifted me the opportunity is to now invite Jesus into that conversation.
00:34:49.599 --> 00:35:00.880
But all, you know, because again, like I said, I was a skeptical, cynical, bacon-loving Jew who uh kept Jesus at an arm's distance because, you know, we Jews grew up hearing that Jesus was the Easter bunny, like more or less, you know.
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:01.920
So it was a process.
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:13.280
So what's God got to do with it is a place to have all of those same conversations, the self-image, the body image, the identity-based conversations, but through the lens of what's God got to actually do with it, right?
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:20.159
And that's where we invite um these faith-based conversations into the mix, really where the intersection of faith meets neuroscience.
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:24.559
So both podcasts are very neuroscience heavy because that's how I came to Jesus, right?
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.119
Um, but so those are two great ways that you can find out more about me.
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:53.920
And if you just want to see a sneak behind the curtain of the system that I teach my clients about how to heal from the all-or-nothing mentality through the lens of the self-image and the body image and the identity-based thinking um and and how that involves with this within the circuitry of the brain, you can check out my my free sneak preview over at stresslesseating.com where I just literally peel it back and teach the exact system that I teach my clients.
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:56.639
So stresslesseating.com is where you can find that.
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:58.079
Ooh, so good.
00:35:58.239 --> 00:35:58.719
Thank you.
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.199
That I'm definitely gonna check that out.
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:08.880
I've I know that there, I can think of like five women that I'm coaching right now that are struggling with the all or nothing mindset.
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.360
So I'm excited to be able to send them your way.
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:13.840
So good.
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:15.280
Oh my gosh.
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:32.559
If you are listening to this, I hope that you are really starting to like take on the knowing that you are not broken, that you just have some patterns that need to be rewired, that they can change.
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:38.800
And I wanted to share, I always end the conversation with a scripture for someone to meditate on.
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:44.079
So, ladies, today we're looking at John 8, 28 to 32.
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:50.400
And I was reading this this morning, thinking about Leanne's work.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:57.280
And, you know, here I am, a functional medicine physician, and I am endorsing everything you're doing.
00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:59.280
Like I am absolutely loving it.
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:03.760
And I just was thinking, like, what would Jesus think about all of this?
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:07.199
And how would he tell women to renew their mind?
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.920
How would he tell us to rewire?
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:12.320
And the answer was in here.
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:24.159
He, the Pharisees are challenging Jesus about who he is, and he says, I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:26.800
The one who sent me is with me.
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.880
He has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:33.679
And I thought, that's the answer.
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:44.639
God wants us to know the word, renew our minds with the word, and speak and live and act as Jesus would act.
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:48.079
Like it does not rocket science, right?
00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:49.519
Absolutely.
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:54.000
It's just about removing the blocks that are keeping that from being possible, right?
00:37:54.159 --> 00:38:06.320
It's it's knowing the word, aligning the word, and getting everything out of the way that's that that Satan is sending or that our the worldly thoughts have been infiltrating that keeps us from receiving and believing that it's true.
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:11.199
So yeah, spot on it and even funnier, I was just in John this week as well.
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:13.360
So it's crazy.
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:14.719
So good.
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.760
Okay, so go meditate on John 8 32.
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:21.920
Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:23.199
Thank you, Leanne.
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:24.480
Oh my goodness.
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:25.519
These are such a good thing.
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:33.920
Thank you guys for doing the work that you're doing because um, you know, 15 years ago when no one was talking about this and I thought I was crazy, like there were people that were receiving it.
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.519
And so the world is primed and ready for everything you guys are delivering.
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:41.440
And the fact that you're even seeing that means it's even more important to get out.
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:42.800
Ooh, so good.
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:46.639
All right, everybody listening, go be Christ's hands to serve.
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:49.199
Meditate on John 832.
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:50.480
God's got you.
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.320
We'll see you next week.
00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:01.519
