HH583: Don't Reach For Food, Reach For A New Mental Movie

Today I want to talk to you about that connection between the movie that is running in your mind and food.

About the Host:

Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner and a Board Designated Trainer of NLP, Time Line Therapy®, Hypnotherarpy, and NLP Results Coaching, helping people get to the root cause of their health issues and then get lasting results. Melissa neither diagnoses nor cures but helps bring your body back into balance by helping discover your “toxic load” and then removing the toxins. Melissa offers functional medicine lab testing that helps you “see inside” to know exactly what is going on, and then provides a personalized wellness protocol using natural herbs and supplements.  Melissa’s business is 100% virtual – the lab tests are mailed directly to your home and she specializes in holding your hand and guiding the way to healing so that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Melissa has launched Amplify Impact Academy, with business partner, Billie Aadmi and together they train other coaches, practitioners and counsellors in the 4 mind-body healing modalities mentioned above, giving them powerful tools to use with clients to get results with greater ease, speed and grace. These courses teach life skills and anyone can take them, if you wanto be a better leader, parent, partner, be empowered in your own life, these courses are for you!

Melissa’s passion project is her non-profit, Girls Matter (www.girlsmatter.ca), breaking the poverty cycle 1 girl, 1 family, 1 village at a time.  The mission is to keep girls in school and stop teenage marriages, because school isn’t free in over 50 countries around the world and when parents have to make the difficult choices of feeding their kids or paying for school, food wins. And when the girls hit their teen years, they will often be married off so that someone else becomes responsible to feed them. Keeping girls in school instead creates a generational ripple effect, because an educated girl is more than twice as likely to ensure her on children are educated. Educating girls also grows the GDP of countries, when they get into the workforce. This is how together, we can change the world. Guests on this podcast are invited to donate to this important cause. Learn more here in this short video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R3-xqzJLZW14om1PhFClcU_oRSZ8zgip/view?usp=share_link

Melissa Deally:

Welcome back to another episode of health hacks,

Melissa Deally:

and today I want to talk to you about that connection between

Melissa Deally:

the movie that is running in your mind and food. Have you

Melissa Deally:

ever noticed that the urge to snack or eat more happens when

Melissa Deally:

you're experiencing more powerful emotions that perhaps

Melissa Deally:

you don't even want to feel, and so you numb out. It isn't even

Melissa Deally:

about hunger at all. It's about escape and using food as a

Melissa Deally:

mechanism for escape. It is a fast and yet temporary fix. And

Melissa Deally:

let's face it, when you get to the bottom of the ice cream tub

Melissa Deally:

or the box of brownies, do you feel better? No, unfortunately,

Melissa Deally:

you don't. And so the next time that you notice that desire to

Melissa Deally:

reach for food, stop and check what movie Am I playing in my

Melissa Deally:

mind right now? Is it the horror show? Is it the love story? If

Melissa Deally:

it's the horror show, you're going to want to clear the

Melissa Deally:

screen. And we teach you how to do that at our unconscious mind

Melissa Deally:

workshop. And if that's something that you would like to

Melissa Deally:

know about, you definitely want to check this out. This is a

Melissa Deally:

powerful tool to use as needed, to literally clear the screen

Melissa Deally:

anytime the movie in your mind is creating feelings that you

Melissa Deally:

don't want, creating stress, creating results that aren't

Melissa Deally:

what you were looking for, having you feel stuck, causing

Melissa Deally:

anxiety. Our thoughts are so powerful, and they drive that

Melissa Deally:

movie, and I want you to know you can shift that movie,

Melissa Deally:

literally in moments with this powerful technique called clear

Melissa Deally:

the screen. And when you come and you learn how easy this is

Melissa Deally:

to do, and are able to then use it as needed, just notice your

Melissa Deally:

life shift. You don't have to be stuck and held back by what's

Melissa Deally:

running through your mind. We can rewire that neurology and

Melissa Deally:

take it even a step further. Because when you learn this,

Melissa Deally:

you're going to want to know more. That was me. This is the

Melissa Deally:

stuff you can't keep to yourself. More people need to

Melissa Deally:

know this. And so if you are relating to what I'm talking

Melissa Deally:

about right now, and you know that the movie screen running in

Melissa Deally:

your mind is triggering the dependency on food and you want

Melissa Deally:

to break that habit, join our next meet your unconscious mind

Melissa Deally:

workshop. The info is in the show notes, and we look forward

Melissa Deally:

to seeing you there. This is so simple and yet powerfully life

Melissa Deally:

changing.

About the Podcast

Don't Wait For Your Wake Up Call!
with Melissa Deally, Integrative Health Practitioner
As an Integrative Health Practitioner I have come to realize that we simply haven't been taught how to optimize our health, and that the average person has habits that are negatively impacting their health, due to this lack of knowledge, through no fault of their own. Public health and our school system simply don't teach us enough about nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health or how interconnected our bodies are! Modern life has us more sleep deprived, stressed out and the sickest ever, and I believe it is time to bring this education to you, so that you CAN be empowered in your health and you can then make the right choices for you and your family. The choices you make today impact your future 1 year, 5 years, 10 years + from now. It is never too early to start looking after your health, as Health is your TRUE wealth....without it what do you have?

I use this podcast to support my passion project - non-profit, Girls Matter (www.girlsmatter.ca), breaking the poverty cycle 1 girl, 1 family, 1 village at a time. The mission is to keep girls in school and stop teenage marriages, because school isn’t free in over 50 countries around the world and when parents have to make the difficult choices of feeding their kids or paying for school, food wins. And when the girls hit their teen years, they will often be married off so that someone else becomes responsible to feed them. Keeping girls in school instead creates a generational ripple effect, because an educated girl is more than twice as likely to ensure her own children are educated. Educating girls also grows the GDP of countries, when they get into the workforce. This is how together, we can change the world. Guests on this podcast are invited to donate to this important cause.
