16: When You Want To Lose Weight - Samantha Gladish

Apr 14, 2019

Samantha Gladish is a Women's Health and Wellness Coach and the Founder of www.holisticwellness.ca; a website dedicated to helping women lose weight and balance their hormones through delicious food.

Weight loss is a touchy subject for me these days and I contemplated whether I would bring it to the podcast because I would never want it to trigger someone or sidetrack someone from their intuitive eating journey. But I do believe that the pursuit of weight loss (the healthy way) can occur while maintaining body positivity as a means of helping you move better and feel better, if those are areas that are currently holding you back.

In this episode we discuss:

• How Samantha's approach to weight loss differs from the conventional weight loss methods out there
• Why intuitive eating coaches aren't anti-weight loss (and what we're actually "anti")
• Focusing on the determining factors of health vs. solely weight as a measure of health 
• How to maintain body positivity while pursuing weight loss
• The common contributors to hormonal imbalances
• Simple strategies to start supporting your hormonal health today
• The harmful effects of conventional hormonal contraceptives (primarily the birth control pill) and what you can do instead
• How to support your hormones and health with Autoimmune Hashimotos
