Welcome to the Isn't You Powerful Podcast. I'm your host, Laura B, health coach, educator, and founder of the Bee Healthy Lifestyle. I'm here to bring you all the health education and motivation so that you can sign off each week and quick and empower to have all of your healthy videos. Come along with me as I teach you the basics of healthy living. I'm gonna tell you who it's for, who it's not for, all that good stuff. So hello and welcome. I am so, so, so excited. I decided so long ago that I wanted to start talking about sugar cravings and food noise because I was experiencing it in a way that I thought was just me. Like I didn't think anybody else was going through what I was going through. Nobody was talking about how exhausting it was to wake up in the mornings with your first thought being, I need to eat this, I can't eat that. If I eat this, I'm good, if I eat this, I'm bad. Nobody was talking about that. Nobody was talking about how it felt to go through your entire day and say, I'm not allowed to go into that area of the of my work. I worked at a school, can't go into the break room, can't go into this area of my classroom because there's candy there. Nobody talked about how exhausting that was. Nobody talked about how terrible I would feel about myself whenever I'd get to the afternoons and at 3 p.m. every single day, like clockwork, I'd say, you know what, screw it. I'm hungry, I need something sweet right now, and I would end up binge eating so much sugar to the point where I felt so sick, and nobody was talking about the feelings that came along with that the anger, the frustration, the defeat, every emotion that you could possibly feel that was negative, I was feeling it on top of the physical discomfort because I was eating to the point of literally feeling sick every single day, and nobody was talking about that. So I decided it was my responsibility to start talking about it, but I will admit I put a silencer on it for a really long time because I was told by one of my own coaches, Laura, nobody wants to hear about that. That's not what people actually want. They want this other thing, you need to talk about this instead. So I talked about that for a while, and still every single person that I worked with, it came back to sugar cravings and food noise. Laura, I think about food all day long. Laura, I feel guilty about the foods that I'm eating all the time. Laura, why can't I stay away from the sugar? And I said, you know what? I'm going all in on this. So I decided to create the food noise boot camp, where in just 45 days, I'm going to help you get rid of all of the noise that is in your brain whenever it comes to food, so that you can just enjoy your life again, so that you can go on vacation and not be worried about how this food's gonna impact you, what this is gonna make you feel, how you're gonna come home from the vacation feeling afterwards, so that you can simply go to a coffee shop and not be tempted by all of the stuff that's in the cabinets. Like it's just there, it's on display. That doesn't mean you have to eat it, but if you want to eat it, you can eat it, and you can eat it with control, and you can eat it with no guilt. I want to give you a life of literal freedom whenever it comes to food. And what I mean by food freedom is that one, you're not thinking about food all the time, and two, you don't feel guilt after eating any food ever again in your entire life. That's what I mean by food freedom. You literally release the shackles that food has on you. So, how are we gonna do that? I'm gonna explain exactly what the Food Noise Bootcamp is, what what process I'm gonna take you through in those 45 days. I'm gonna again explain everything that this program is for. Like if this is for you, here's how to identify that it's for you. And if it's not for you, here's how to identify that it's not for you, and then I'll tell you how to sign up. I think that there's a link down here where those of you who are coming live, for the people on the podcast, I'm recording this for my podcast as well. For those people, you can go down into the show notes and you can click the link down there and learn all about the program. And for those of you who are watching on Instagram live or catching the replay of this live, there should be a link here, or you can comment on this post and I will send you over the link as soon as I'm done being live. So, what is the food noise boot camp? Again, it's 45 days. That's six weeks. That's the amount of time that it takes for you to genuinely get rid of the food noise. I'm not talking about putting a band-aid on the problem. That is the last thing that I'm going to do for you. I am not going to tell you that this medication is going to solve your problems. Here's how we can cover up the issue, because that's unfortunately what a lot of people who um food noise is like kind of trending on social media right now. I've been talking about it for like six years, but people are just now starting to come around to the idea that food noise is a thing and that it exists, and they're teaching you how you can cover it up and put a band-aid on it by simply changing this one thing about your diet or or taking a medication. And that's not what I'm going to do for you, okay? Uh, so 45 days, we are going to meet live 10 times in those 45 days. Six of those times are gonna be with a group. So we're gonna meet group everybody who joins, which by the way, it's gonna be a limited amount of people who join this group because I'm doing so much one-on-one coaching in it. I have to be able to give my all to you. So I'm going to limit the amount of people who are in this group so that we can have really high-touch, really good conversations in this group, and then also so I can meet you where you are in your one-on-one coaching. So there's six group coaching calls, and then there's four one-on-one coaching calls. You probably don't realize how insane that is. Not a lot of coaches are doing something like this where you're getting group and one-on-one, but the fact that I am going to combine these two things makes this an extremely personalized experience to you. Okay, so these group coaching calls, that's where you're gonna get the education. I'm gonna teach you why the food noise is existing for you, what's going on in your nutrition, what's going on in your mindset, your daily habits when it comes to sleep, and to exercise, and to stress management. We're gonna talk about all of those things because they are all impacting your food noise and your sugar gravings. So, in the group coaching calls, I'm gonna dig into those aspects of it. And then in the one-on-one calls, we're gonna talk about you, your specific habits, the things that are challenging you in this moment, and we are going to zap those at the root right then and there, okay? So it's so high touch. It is unlike anything I've ever done before, and unlike what I'm seeing on the market right now. Now, I'm gonna walk you through my proven three-step formula. Hi Angelica, thank you for that compliment. It is, it's gonna be a program that I should have created many years ago, and now I am having I have the courage to create it now because I'm having conversation after conversation after conversation of everybody that I'm working with and that I'm seeing on social media telling me, Laura, this is a challenge for me. This is what I'm struggling with. And I'm like, I went through that, I know exactly what it takes to get rid of it, and here, let me give it to you. So I've packaged it all up. I've taken everything that I've learned over the last six years of getting rid of this noise, I've put it into a night, a nice, pretty little package, and I'm gifting it to you guys. I'm so, so, so excited and honored to get to do that. I'm gonna walk you through my proven three-step formula. I say proven because I've coached over 150 women, and I've given them this process, and every single one of them is able to walk away from my program and say, yeah, I don't think about food all the time anymore. I have a lot more control around food than I used to. They're able to walk away saying that. This is a proven formula because I have so many people backing that up, so much evidence of real people just like you guys who are watching this and listening to this. They are like you. They've struggled in the same way you're struggling right now. And because they followed this formula, they no longer struggle in that way anymore. I recently had a podcast episode that came out with one of my group coaching clients. She worked with me in my program Seismic Shift, and she told me, before I signed up with you, I crave sugar all the time. I would sit down on the couch with a bag of chocolate chips. I'd eat so many of them to the point where I felt sick. And now after working with you, I don't feel that. And then she told me, I went on vacation. This was months after we finished working together. She was like, I went on vacation, and thanks to everything you taught me, I had control around food the entire time I was there. It was an all-inclusive resort, which means she could eat unlimited anything she wanted at any time. There were desserts galore around her, there was fried food galore. She was like, I wasn't tempted the entire vacation. I felt good, I felt in control. It was lovely. She was like, I've never felt such peace and quiet in my brain. And that's what I'm gonna give you guys. So the first step of this three-part uh framework that I'm gonna teach you is nutrition. We are going to dig into what are your current habits around food and how can we make literal tiny shifts? That's all it takes. Every person I've worked with, I'm not making these huge adjustments to their diet. I'm making really tiny shifts to the things that they are currently eating or to the way that they are currently eating. And by making those tiny shifts, immediately it's like a cloak of peace falls over them as they are navigating it. Okay. So, number one is nutrition. When you start the program, the day that you sign up, which by the way, you can sign up right now. The day you sign up for the program, you get to come and you get to sign up for your first one-on-one call. We'll have a get to know you call where I look at what are your current habits, what are the shifts that are going to need to be made. And then we'll have that, we'll have three group coaching calls where we talk all about nutrition, where we are digging into what are the habits that you have that are causing this, and how can we make really small shifts, sustainable changes to your diet that are going to make the food noise stop. Then we'll have another one-on-one coaching call where we dig into it personally for you. That's the beauty of one-on-one coaching. It's all about you. And then we are going to dig into the next piece of this framework, which is mindset. Because unfortunately, that's a big piece of it, right? Where we have this all or nothing mindset. We feel like we need to be restricted all the time. We are either good if we eat this and bad if we eat that. And I'm going to help heal all of that so that by the time you leave this program, you are going to have a much healthier relationship with food. The combination of everything you're going to learn about food in that first part of the framework with the second part of truly like targeting your mindset and the shifts that need to be made, that right there is going to heal you in a way that you didn't think was possible. Okay. So that's piece two. And then we'll have another one-on-one coaching call where we unpack that so much. So that's your third one-on-one coaching call. And then at the end, we're going to dig into part three of the framework, which is real life application. This is me talking about how are you going to enjoy the holidays? Listen, girl, we're coming up on the holiday season. We're about to get into Halloween where there's candy everywhere. We're about to get into Thanksgiving. Oh my gosh, overeat central. Then we're gonna get into Christmas where there's treats and parties and all the things and everything that you want to partake in. And I want you to partake in that too, with control and with peace, where you're not feeling guilty about it and you're not feeling overwhelmed by everything that's around you. You're not feeling like I either need to go all in at this party or I need to completely stay away from it. I want you to feel in control, right? So that is what we are going to do. And then at the end, we are going to have one final one-on-one coaching call. Where in this final coaching call, we are going to talk about all of the habits that you've made and how we can truly sustain those on your own. Because my goal, a great teacher, their goal is to make sure you learn what you need to learn and be able to do it independently whenever they're not around. A great teacher wants you to go off on their own, wants their student to go off on their own and be able to do everything that they need and want to do on their own. That's my goal for you, okay? I'm doing it to my own horn. I'm a great teacher. I'm pretty dang good at teaching, okay? I've been doing it in multiple capacities for a long time. I taught third graders how to do multiplication. If I can teach a third grader how to multiply, I can teach you guys how to eat differently and how to get rid of all of the voices that are in your head when it comes to food. Okay, so that's the process that I'm gonna take you through. There's recordings, everything that we do live, those group coaching calls, they're all recorded. The one-on-one calls are your responsibility to schedule and to make sure that they get on the calendar. It'll all be there outlined for you. And then I also am gonna have a group chat for you where you can pop into the group chat and say, Hey, this is what's going well for me. Hey, this is something that's really challenging me right now. You might have questions, you might have concerns, you might just want to share something with the group, you might want to not feel alone and get some accountability. All of that is what the group chat is for, and it will be available from September 15th when the program starts, all the way through October 30th, which is the last day of the program. That's 45 days, and it takes you up right into the holiday season, which again, I want you to feel totally confident going into the holiday season. Okay. So who is this for? I have a list of who it's for and who it's not for. So I'm gonna go through that list and help you understand if at any point you like find yourself like, oh my gosh, she's totally calling me out right now, then I I encourage you to take a look at the program and get yourself signed up because I've I've been so specific on who this program is for. So if you constantly think about food, like I'm telling you, if you wake up in the morning and your first thought is what you should eat, what you shouldn't eat, you're always thinking about food. You go through your day and you're constantly thinking about this food's bad for me, this food's good for me, stay away from that. Why are you always thinking about food? Why are you so hungry all the time? This is for you. That is literal food noise. And that's that's the problem that I'm solving in and of itself. There are very small things that you need to be doing that can make that totally go away. And I'm gonna teach them to you right at the beginning of the program, right there at the beginning, where you can start seeing some changes, significant changes right away. Okay, so if you constantly think about food, it's your first thought, it's on your mind all day, whether that be I'm always hungry or I'm trying to stay away from certain things, I need to not eat these things, that's what I'm talking about, okay? The next one is you want to understand why these problems exist for you. Why do you always think about food? Why do you have so many sugar cravings? Like I find that when we understand the root of what's going on, and you can understand why this is happening for you, I find that that is what makes the biggest difference because it finally allows you to get a clear picture of what's going on. Our bodies don't have very many ways to communicate with us. They send us a little ailment, they might get a little gurgle in the tummy, you might feel tired. That's one of the few ways that our bodies can communicate with us. But your body is telling you more than you think it is, and I'm gonna help you decipher what's going on because it's frustrating when you're like, I think about food all day and I don't know why. But when you can understand the why, then making the changes to your habits becomes easier. It becomes a lot more effortless because you're like, okay, I know the direct link between eating this and how I'm gonna feel, or not eating this and how it will make me feel. And when we understand those direct links, we're able to make choices that align with our goals with a lot more ease. Okay. So if you want to understand that why, raising my hand, I'm your girl. Like I said, I'm a teacher through and through. I'm gonna give you that background on knowledge. I'm gonna give you that science behind what's going on. It really makes a big difference. If you want sustainable habits that give you your life back, I'm talking about simple things that you can do not just for the 45 days that we're in the Food Noise Boot camp together, but beyond that, for weeks, for months, for years. I just told you about my client Allison who went on vacation and she was able to do these things on vacation while still enjoying her vacation and then not feel like whenever she got back, she needed to do a detox or do a reset or start over. No, she's just continuing on her journey the entire time. Okay, so if you want things that are sustainable, that you can stick to no matter the life circumstances, no matter where you are, what day of the week it is, what time of the month it is, if you want that, this program is for you. If you want practical and repeatable systems, that's a big thing that I'm gonna teach you is how can we take this knowledge and apply it to multiple situations? Okay, so how can we take this knowledge that we have about how this food impacts our body on a certain time of the month and apply it to another time of the month, or apply it to another time of the year, whenever food's always around us, or apply it when we do go on vacation, we're out of town, we've got something going on, we have family visiting, and those things throw us off of our routines. But if you want practical systems, repeatable things that you are going to learn that don't just apply for this particular moment and whenever life's all hunky-dory and everything's going good and going the way it's supposed to, if you want something that you can do, even whenever life's challenging you and it's hard and you have things going on and there's people in your life that are disrupting your normal routines, this is the program that's gonna teach you all of that. If you want a root cause approach, I've said it at the beginning of this. I am not somebody who is going to teach you the surface level things. I am not somebody who's going to teach you why, like how how to make your food noise go away by literally putting a band-aid on it and just taking this, taking this medication or drinking this particular drink. Like, I'm gonna teach you how you can change the root of what's going on. Think about like right now, it's I'm I'm in Florida. There's weeds growing every which away in my yard right now. If I want those to go away, I can't just go outside and take the top off of them. I can't just go outside and pull up the dandelion. I've got to get to the root of the dandelion and pull it out of the ground from the root, or it's gonna grow back. If you don't take a root cause approach when it comes to getting rid of your food noise and your sugar cravings, they're just going to come back. As soon as you get off the medication, or as soon as you go go and it and like again, life's not hunky-dory anymore, and you go off on vacation, or you have a family drama that's going on that's taking up some mental space that you didn't have whenever life was all good and rosy. As soon as those things happen, you're going to end up back in the same hole of thinking about food all the time, feeling guilty about what you're eating, running to the pantry the second that you get home. I don't want that for you. I want you to truly get rid of the food noise and understand why it was there in the first place. That takes a root cause approach. And I only want women in this group who are ready for a root cause approach, who want to understand how to go into the soil and pull the root up. Okay. Now, um, you want to include sweets. I'm gonna teach you how to have candy bars and how to have treats and how to enjoy the the holiday whatever, the holiday candies and snacks and treats and cakes and cookies and all of those things. I'm gonna teach you how to include those things without the guilt and without the all or nothing. If that is what you want, I'm your girl because I'm never, ever, ever, ever going to tell you that you cannot have something sweet. The second that you do that, number one, your relationship with food further damaged. I want the opposite for you. Number two, you are eventually going to get to the point where you're like, screw it, I'm gonna eat all of this. I don't give a crap anymore. I'm just gonna go eat whatever, whenever, whatever I can find. I got to that point many times. Eventually, I was getting to that point every single day where I was eating things like Twizzlers. And I don't know about you, but I think Twizzlers are disgusting. They literally taste like rubber. I'm not a Twizzler girl, but there was a point where I was telling myself, you're not allowed to have it, stay away from it, no, no, no. And eventually I would say, screw it, and I would eat whatever I could find, including the Twizzlers that I absolutely hated. So if you want to learn how to include sweets so that you don't end up in that all or nothing situation, so that you don't end up binge eating whatever you can find, then I'm your girl because I'm going to teach you how you can enjoy those things without it turning into let me go completely into the deep end and eat everything. Okay. And you're Not gonna feel guilty about it anymore after we work together. I can't tell you that. The last thing that I want to say is this program is for you if you are ready to challenge the way that you currently believe, you are ready to show up for yourself in a way that you haven't before. I'm going to challenge you. I'm going to require you to think about food in a different way. I'm going to require you to put in effort that might be uncomfortable for you to put into. I'm going to ask you questions that you don't feel comfortable sharing the answers to, but that is the only way for you to see real change. And if you're not ready to show up to group coaching calls or watch the replays whenever that time comes, you're not ready to put in the effort that it takes to notice what's going on with your nutrition, notice what challenges you're facing with your mindset, and then apply the things that we talk about in this program, then the program's not for you. I only want people who are ready to show up, to put in the work, to join me live when they can, to take the time to watch the replays when they can't be there live, to come onto these one-on-one coaching calls and take the initiative to schedule them. The people who are ready to share what's going on with them in the group chat, that's the people that I want in this group. Okay. So if that is you, that means that this program is for you. If everything that I've mentioned here sounds like, you know what, yeah, I do need help with all of these things. I do want that, and I am ready to show up in that way. Then hella. I'm so excited to have you in the program. Okay, so once again, I'm Laura. I've been struggling with this for so much longer than I care to admit. My food was started way back in elementary school, which is wild to say, but I have a very distinct memory of standing on my parents' back porch. It was a deck, and we were sitting out there grilling with family friends, and I remember pinching my stomach and saying, I would look great if it weren't for this. And then I told my mom, yeah, I'm gonna stop eating this, I'm gonna start eating this, I'm gonna get healthy. And that was the beginning of my food noise. From that day on, I struggled with telling myself I was bad if I had certain things, telling myself I needed to not eat, I needed to skip meals, I needed to stay away from certain foods, and then binge eating. I would hide so many candy wrappers, like I would eat the like so much food, just like candy and sugar and and true junk food, little Debbie's were everywhere in my house, and I would eat so many of them and then hide all of the wrappers in the trash can because I was just embarrassed of what I had done. I would literally take these piles of candy wrappers and hide them at the bottom of the trash can so nobody would know what I would done had done. I would drink bottles of soda, like so many bottles of soda to where I felt sick in the evenings. I would drink gallons of sweet tea and then replace the gallon in the refrigerator before my mom got home. So once again, nobody would know what I had done. This was my life for years, from elementary school up until 2020, which is I don't know, like 18 years or something, a very long time. And finally I said, I'm done with it, I'm tired of feeling this way. I figured out how to get rid of it, and now I've put everything that I know about getting rid of this that now I've taught so many women. I told you I've taught this to over 150 women, and they are now walking around feeling good, okay? And so I've packaged all of that into six weeks, 45 days, six group coaching programs, six group coaching calls, four one-on-one coaching calls, because all of that is packaged up nice and neat. I'm giving it to you, and I'm so excited to have you as a part of this program to share this gift with you so you can stop thinking about food all freaking day long. Okay, it's exhausting, it's tiring, and I don't want you to feel that way anymore. So you can uh join by going to Behealthyhabits.com slash food noise bootcamp. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
