WEBVTT - Using Brain Science To Create A Natural "Ozempic Effect" (Outweigh) 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.480 I won't let my body out be outwait everything that 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:08.039 I'm made. Don won't spend my life trying to change. 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:13.000 I'm learning love who I am again. I'm strong, I'm 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:19.600 feel free, I know everybody of me. It's beautiful and 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.520 that will always out way if you feel it with 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.639 your hands. And there she'll some love to the food 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.440 I give. There, say good day and did you and 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:37.519 die out way, Happy Saturday, outweigh. It's leanne here and 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.480 today we're diving into something that's been on a lot 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.199 of women's minds lately, and that is ozmpic. But not 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.879 in the way that you might expect. Okay, we are 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:51.159 not here to debate medications or weight loss shortcuts. We 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.960 aren't even here to talk about ozempic at all. We 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.880 are here to get curious on a brain level about 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.600 why it's working for so many people, and that tells 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.520 us about the real root of food obsession and overeating 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.640 or under eating and the cycle of losing and regaining weight. 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.880 Because here's the thing, there's a science behind what ozempic 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.840 actually does in the brain, and once you understand it, 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.720 you can learn to create those effects naturally and with 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.720 no prescriptions and no side effects and no temporary quick 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.880 fixes that leave you right back where you started. So 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.280 today I'm going to show you how to create what 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.959 I call a natural ozempic effect, which is a brain 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.520 based shift that calms cravings and quiets food noise and 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.200 helps you finally feel like food is no longer the 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.400 boss of you. But first, let's talk about the problem. Okay, 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.240 So let's say this out loud together. Okay, just in 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.160 case no one has said it to you recently. If 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.760 you've been stuck in the cycle of overeating or emotional 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.200 eating or binging, it's not because you're broken, and it's 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.400 not because you're weak, and it's definitely not because you 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.080 just haven't found the right diet. The real reason is 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.560 that your brain is wired to seek food, right, Because 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.920 deep inside your brain is something called the food seeking circuit. 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.600 And this isn't just some woo woo concept. It's been 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.200 validated by brain scans and neuroscience labs and real world 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.280 clinical studies. And when that circuit is balanced, you eat 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.600 when you're hungry, you stop when you're fall and food 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.120 doesn't consume your thoughts all day long. And when that 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:37.000 circuit is overstimulated, right, which is what happens when you've 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.680 lived through years of dieting and body shame and emotional 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.959 stress and just using food as a coping tool, that 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.400 circuit goes haywire. Okay, and that's where things get hard. Okay. 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.240 You crave food even when you're not hungry. You reach 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.720 for sugar or carbs when you're stressed or anxious or tired, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.280 and you think about food NonStop, even when you don't 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.799 want to. And that's not a willpower issue. That's a 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.679 wiring issue. And so why does this matter? Because this 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.200 wiring is the reason why you can lose twenty pounds 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.400 only to gain back twenty five. Or clients I'm working 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.600 with who went on ozebic, many of them lost over 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.320 one hundred pounds and gain back one hundred and five. Right, 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.880 But it's also the reason why you can white knuckle 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.919 your way through whole thirty or keto or intermittent fasting 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.000 for a little while, only to find yourself binging in 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.359 secret a few weeks later, and why you know what 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.440 to do, but you still feel powerless to actually do it. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.040 I've seen this story play out hundreds of times. I've 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.040 lived it. I lived it for so much of my life. 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.440 I used to weigh over two hundred and fifty pounds 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.520 and I lost over one hundred, and I ran a 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.640 fitness business and I taught women how to transform their bodies. 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.880 And yet I still thought about food constantly, and I 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.160 still feared gaining the weight back. That it because I 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.160 didn't feel free. I knew I was out exercising my 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.400 food struggles and trying to under eat my overeating because well, yeah, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.440 I changed my behaviors, I hadn't changed my wiring. And 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.720 here's the crazy part, or the scary part, I guess 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:14.320 it is. Even ozempic, the so called miracle drug, it 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.359 doesn't fix that, right, Like, sure, it helps you feel 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:22.000 full faster, because it calms the chemical hunger. It quiets 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.240 the background buzz that makes you want to eat all 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.600 the time. But what about your thoughts? Right? What about 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.080 your subconscious beliefs about your body? And what about the 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.000 self image that still sees you as the woman who's 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.119 bad or you know air quotes, messed up with food 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:41.200 or can't be trusted with sugar. And of the countless 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.000 women I've worked with, none of them are eating out 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.200 of hunger. Okay, it's emotional hunger. And so many women 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.320 end up emotionally eating anyways, even if ozempic has turned 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.040 off their physical or chemical hunger. And so here's something 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.960 you might not know. I've worked with many women who 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.920 did take ozempa because it's actually been around for a 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.160 lot longer than most people know. So I've had so 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.560 many women that have been on or off ozempic come 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.560 through stressless eating. And it's just become more popular in 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.400 the last three years or so, that's why we're hearing 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.480 about it now. But it's been around forever, right or 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.000 not forever for a while, and so they would lose, 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.839 you know, forty pounds, sixty pounds. I've even had multiple 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.040 women lose ninety to one hundred pounds, but because they 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:26.080 didn't address their brain's default settings, they gained it all 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.080 back and then some right and now again a topic 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.920 probably for another episode, is what happens to your muscle 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.719 mass and your BMR or the metabolic rate of how 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.440 many calories you're burning a day or what you need 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.320 to survive like that changes with ozepic two. And when 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.120 you or just any drastically reduced caloric intake to lose 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.479 weight very quickly, it puts you in a metabolic kind 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.839 of downword spiral. So again another topic for another day. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.320 But that happens too, right, But it's not just the weight, 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.240 but the guilt and the shame and the food food 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.200 obsession too, right, Like that comes back because if you're 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.320 wiring and beliefs don't change, your behaviors will eventually circle 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.280 right back around. And that's why weight loss isn't enough, 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.840 and that's why willpower isn't enough, and that's why you 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.880 can't outdiet your brain. Now, this is where I want 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.359 to pause and just be super clear, if I haven't 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.880 been pretty clear already. I am not against ozempic. Okay. 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.000 It can be a powerful and even life changing tool 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.280 for some women, especially when used under the guidance of 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.360 a trusted doctor. But what I've seen over and over 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.320 is that medication alone doesn't rewire the brain. It might 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:41.080 suppress the appetite, but it doesn't heal the obsession or 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.760 the emotional eating or the self image wiring underneath it all. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.520 So this episode, again, it's not about ozempic. It's about 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.640 your brain, specifically, how to create a natural ozempic effect 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.159 by calming the part of your brain that drives food 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.800 seeking and cravings and emotional spirals so that you can 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.760 feel more peace and more freedom and more control from 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.000 the inside out. So what's the answer, Well, well, let's 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.640 go back to that ozempic effect that I was talking about. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.680 The real reason ozempic works isn't because it gives you superpowers, Okay, 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.440 It's because it temporarily regulates your brain's food seeking circuit. 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:21.840 And so what if you could just do that naturally, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.360 and what if you could train your brain to calm 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:28.400 that circuit without needing injections or prescriptions or side effects. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.600 And that's exactly what I teach my clients inside my 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.040 stressless eeding mentorship. But I want to give you a 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.240 taste of how it works here in this episode. So 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.200 the first layer of the process is about helping my 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.920 clients calm their over active circuits. And calming your overactive 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.160 circuit is what needs to happen. And so this is 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.440 where we get your nervous system out of fight or 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.520 flight as a default, so that your brain stop scanning 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.480 for food as a coping mechanism. Right. Think of it 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.960 like flipping the off switch on food noise. And specifically 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.880 I teach my client it's how to use short, science 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.600 backed techniques that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and regulate 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.120 the part of your brain that thinks that food is 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:13.240 the answer to every emotion or circumstance, and then they 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.680 can actually learn to regulate the stress and anxiety that 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.640 fuels their food seeking circuit. It's like you flipping the 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.400 breaker when the system gets overloaded. But if you're anything 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.920 like me and could never sit to you know, meditate 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.520 or calm your monkey mind long enough to do any good, 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.680 I show my clients how to do it in a 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.240 way where we hack into the nervous system by hijacking 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.599 the sensory system, and it's totally fool proof so that 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.360 anyone can do it. The next layer is about pattern rewiring, 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.280 as in we have to rewire your emotional patterns. And 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.640 this is where we've got to retrain the habit loops 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.560 that have formed between your emotions and food. So if 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.160 you turn to food when you're stressed or tired, or 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.199 lonely or overwhelmed again, it's not because you're broken. It's 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.760 because your brain has built a neural highway to food 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.439 as your coping mechanism. And so we as women, if 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.000 we ever want to actually heal the cycle for good. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.600 It's about learning how to become emotionally available to ourselves 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.600 in those moments of you know, stress and shame or frustration, 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.400 so that you no longer turn to food as a 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.760 coping mechanism and that replaces the old wiring. And this 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.240 is the heart of the rewiring process. And the good 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.160 news is you can build new roads, and you can 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.920 build new patterns, and you can take new options, one 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:42.719 that supports your emotional needs without involving food, okay. And 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.160 the third layer is all about your identity and rewiring 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.199 your beliefs. And so this is the part that no 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.360 one talks about, and honestly, it's the reason that most 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.200 success stories don't last because even if your food seeking 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.880 circuit calms down, and even if your cravings, you know, 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.640 start quieting down, if you're still carrying subconscious beliefs like 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.240 I'm not good enough unless I'm thin, or I always 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.360 mess this up, like this is gonna be the same 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.280 old thing, or I can't trust myself around food, or 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.240 a big one I hear a lot is I feel 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.000 like I'm a food addict, then those old behaviors will 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:22.400 come back because behavior always follows belief. Let me say 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.199 that again. Behavior always follows belief. And that's why I 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.400 take all my clients through a process of rewiring those 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:33.600 subconscious beliefs buried deep down inside, so that we can 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.480 uncover and rewire the beliefs that sabotage your peace with food. 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.680 And so that is how you shift from just changing 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.880 behavior to fully becoming the woman who no longer struggles 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.280 in the first place. And so I worked with a 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.240 woman who lost ninety pounds on ozembic and she came 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.920 to me after she had gained back ninety five. But 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.559 more importantly, you know, she thought that her weight was 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.400 the real problem. But after losing it, she still just 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.199 felt out of control like she had done before, like 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.000 all of her you know, she said she felt crazy 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.120 around food. She's like, I still feel crazy around food. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.679 And she told me that she was just as insecure 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.920 about her body as she felt before. And that's because 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.920 unless you rewire what's happening in your brain, the patterns 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.480 will return, the shame will return, and the food obsession 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.680 will return. It's like turning off the smoke alarm without 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.280 putting out the fire, and you can lose the weight 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.959 and you can fight the cravings temporarily, but if the 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:36.240 circuitry and beliefs underneath it all haven't changed, it's only 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.840 a matter of time before it comes rushing right back. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.680 But when you do address the root cause, like when 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.680 you retrain the brain, you no longer need to obsess 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.599 or micromanage or restrict to feel free. And when you 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.079 rewire those beliefs and pair them with a calm and 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.959 regulated brain and nervous system, that's when real and lasting 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.880 transformation began and you're just free. And that's why I 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.880 call it the natural ozembic effect because it's not a 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.800 drug and it's not a fad.
