Written By Nicole Hagen

In this Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast episode, host and head coach, Nicole Hagen talks about the psychology of sustainable fat loss and shares eight fat loss truths that explain why sustainable fat loss starts in the mind before it ever shows up on the scale. Throughout the episode you’ll hear about:  

  • Why willpower isn’t the problem 

  • The all-or-nothing thinking trap 

  • Emotional eating as a solution to a problem vs. a lack of discipline 

  • Identity-based change

  • The power of self-compassion  

and so much more in-between. 

If you feel like your mindset might be the barrier between you and the sustainable fat loss you want to create, this podcast episode is for you!

I didn’t always have this business: the Masters degree in Nutrition Science and Public Health, the passion, the clients... in fact, years ago you could have found me endlessly counting calories and trying to find my worth on the scale and at spin class, exhausted in my pursuit of (what I thought was) health and happiness.

In my early twenties, I struggled with crash dieting and disordered eating. Little did I know, those circumstances would be my one-way ticket out of my restrictive relationship with food & fitness. Those experiences led me here: to the life-giving, sustainable, habit-based nutrition philosophy I embody today. Today you can find me living life without a calorie counting app and spending time with my husband, one year old son, and our two crazy golden retriever pups.

I enjoy spending my free time reading, sipping on matcha lattes, and dreaming of ways I can help other women create healthy, confident relationships with food without selling their souls to food rules and calorie counting apps.

Because nothing lights me up more than helping women live full and vibrant lives without food fear, rules, or restriction. I want to be that permission granter in your life that whispers: “you really can do this” while the rest of the world continues to settle for short-term satisfaction.
