  SPEAKER_00: And why wait till fall to feel amazing in your body?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like you can feel amazing for a summer, and I feel like we all kind of need this um coming out of like quarantine and coming into summer, especially since a lot of us didn't really have a summer last year.

  SPEAKER_00: That you know, now's the time that either way you're you have this knowledge for a lifetime, you're done and dusted, you feel amazing, you go out, you have fun, you're delicious, you're satisfied, and all of that.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: So, like I said, that will be linked down below, and yeah, let's go ahead and get into the episode.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Live Well Podcast.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: This podcast is designed to help you live well, body, mind, and soul.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Liv, a natural health and wellness expert, and each week you will walk away with the insights, tools, and tips to truly live your best life.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: If you are looking to live well, you are in the right place.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: A new episode starts now.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so like I said, this episode is going to be about the energetics of weight loss.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Because as we know, everything is energy.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: Our thoughts, the food we eat, the emotions we feel, our environment, they all exude an energy, one that either lifts us up or weighs us down.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: And so higher energies are the energies we want to experience, like joy, happiness, love, inspiration, while lower energies or vibrations are like depression, hate, greed, guilt, shame.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: And neither are good or bad, really like they are good because they don't feel good, but they kind of just are.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: So, of course, it might feel better to live in like high vibrational energies and feelings, but both are necessary.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: And a way we can check in with these frequencies we are living in is to check in with our emotions.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm really talking about getting in touch with your feelings, and that's okay if that seems scary, because that very fear is an emotion which has revealed a lot to you.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: And so now when I speak of like energetic weight, I'm referring to heavy emotions creating heaviness in your heart and on your body.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let me say that again: energetic weight or heavy emotions creating heaviness in your heart and on your body, literally on, think about like on like weight.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: So you might be thinking, like, all I want to do is hide and not cause attention to myself, and that way, like, food becomes comforting, and then it gets into this love-hate relationship.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: While it sues you from like loneliness or heartbreak, but it's only temporary, and then food becomes the source of something that leaves you feeling guilty and more embarrassed of yourself.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: And if you've dealt with binge eating, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I won't dive too deep into binge eating in this episode, but it's going to be kind of like the I don't think stopping stone, but like the base, the base is a better word for it, um, which can lead to things like binge eating and other disorders.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: So basically, in an effort to hide the vulnerable parts of yourself, what really happens is we can literally wear those heavy emotions and we wear them as weight.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: So that energy has to go somewhere.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: And so that shame, that guilt, that pain literally manifests into pounds.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: So this might feel very real for all of you who, you know, do all the right things to lose weight or live healthy, or you know, you're taking the supplements, you eat healthy fats like avocado, you you know, take walks, yet you see no progress.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, anytime this comes to me, um, I've had countless people come to me, and that's like I always direct into well-nourished, but it's because you're not doing the energetic and the emotional component, right?
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Because your conscious mind so badly wants to step into confidence and end the war with food in your body, but on the other hand, your subconscious wants to stay hidden because it's deeply afraid of being seen and may draw like negative associations or such.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: And this is how and why self-sabotage enters the picture.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: Because your conscious mind knows one thing, but the subconscious is your your the one that's you know, it rules 95% of your brain.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: That's also why it's like so important to do the deep work because 95% of what dictates your your health and your mindset is something that's beneath the surface, it's not the conscious mind.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why the subconscious wants to keep you safe, it wants to keep you wearing the weight in shame, guilt, and pain because that's what it knows.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna here's a few things to keep in mind, like going into this episode, we're gonna dive deeper.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: But when it comes to energetic weight, so sometimes it's not even your heavy emotions that you're carrying, though chances are it's partly, but it also could have been passed down from your family andor toxic relationships.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: So if it's something like, oh, my mom and dad are always overweight, or you know, it's a history in our family, or you know, being in a toxic relationship, you absorb the their energetic weight too.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're if you were in a partnership or you know, a best friend who's carrying a lot, that toxic relationship can also manifest in your weight.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um, also, like I'm gonna use the quotes, but in quotations, the weight you need to use, air quotes, may not even be like on your body.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's more of an like an energetic release versus like a physical thing.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and always keep in mind also that like lasting weight loss should come as a result of a deeper healing journey, otherwise, it's never going to stay off.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: So when people, you know, think that like, oh, I lose a five pounds, but then I gain it back and I can't seem to keep it off, or I can't seem to lose it, is because it's energetics.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: So if you are struggling with your weight, you have to get in touch with the exact energy or emotion that you are really in search of and start healing the blockage that is getting in the way of that.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: So losing, like in short, basically, if you lose the weight, it's gonna end up coming back, or you're gonna rebound because you haven't released those emotions.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'm gonna get into explaining why, like, you know, you store fat or you um have weight because of emotions in a second, but it's gonna keep coming back until you release that emotion.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: So I want you to ask yourself, what kind of energy are you consuming?
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: And does it like pass through you or does it weigh you down?
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: Do you absorb other people?
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Do you really like this?
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Is a powerful question that I want you to start to think about, to start to figure out where energetically is, you know, are you holding on to weight?
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: And like I've seen people who uh after like releasing like guilt, shame, and stuff like that, have lost like 10 pounds in a week and not changing anything like of their diet or supplements, but because of the excess energy.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: So remember that excess weight is nothing but energy, it is an energy that is stuck up due to our emotions.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: It has like, yes, there's a degree of like exercise and dieting that's always gonna play, but there's always when that doesn't work, and then that's only gonna take you so far, and the rest is always gonna be energetic because what has to be consumed, stored, or expelled out of the body is like a work of your mind, right?
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna run through some of like the probable causes, like some of the emotions and like the energies that are caused to excess weight, um, so that you guys can start to reflect on them for yourself.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: So the probable causes of excess weight are fear, need for protection, so like literally like the weight is protecting you, running away from feelings, being insecure or like low self-esteem, rejection, seeking fulfillment, um, oversensitivity.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: So also think about the fact that you know, fear that shows a need for protection might be covering, you know, hidden anger and a resistance to forgive.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and there's also you can even break it down even so much as like where the fat is on your body signifies different things.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: So, like the energetics of fat on your arms means you're angry at being denied love.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, look at your parents, look at your relationships.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you kind of frustrated or upset of not getting enough?
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: You know, fat on your abdomen means anger at being denied nourishment.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, where are you not getting nourished in your life?
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: Does your job nourish you?
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: Does your relationships nourish you?
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: If it's something you've struggled with for since you were young, were you not, you know, did you feel neglected or abandoned as a kid, and then you need to go and do inner child work?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: You know, fat on like your hips or your glutes, like those are basically lumps of stubborn anger at your parents and you know, your thighs, like that's tied to packed like childhood anger, and normally it's like anger at the father, like anger at you know the dad or the dad role in your life, whoever that was.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: And so you can even like a yes, break it down to like the energetics, but also where the weight is on your body, you can definitely like break down even the energy behind where that is.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: Really interesting, isn't it?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like, most of us hold on to to weight and to mask our insecurities and relationships, work, you know, life ahead, and you have to remember that our natural state is love, and love is detachment, love is letting go.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: The energy of love is moving, it's expansive.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: So, whether it is relationships or food, if we practice detachment, we show love.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: You know, obsession for either a person for any substance happens when we are ready to give and do not know how to receive, so we end up holding for more because we don't feel like we are getting back the desired response.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: So, again, just to break down some of the energetic causes that I'm gonna dive deeper into.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: But there's survival, there's scarcity, there's defense, control issues.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: Control issues is huge.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if you have control issues and you feel like you need to control everything, or you get anxious when you can't, like, chances are your weight's tied to that.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: Punishment, um, emotional starvation, reward, even overnurturing or lack of nurturing.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: So, you like if you're not balanced, that can do both.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: You know, negative self-image or self-esteem, nursing old hurts, suppressing invalidation, self-indulgence, all of these things.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because your body cannot tell the difference between physical starvation and emotional starvation, because both states release the same neuropeptides that tell your body to begin saving for a rainy day to starve, you know, to stave off future starvation.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: So when you are emotionally starved or depleted, your body is gonna store weight the same way it would as like a bear who you know eats a bunch before it's gonna hibernate for the winter.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: So perhaps you are eating like you know, food, but you're not receiving nutrition from it.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you're eating foods that are empty of nutrition that make your body and brain feel starved, like packaged foods and all of those things that lack enzymes to help you digest them, which can compromise you know your ability to absorb what you eat.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why empty calories such as junk food can cause you to gain weight.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: But when your body experiences starvation and then receives food, your cells now want to store it in a form of energy-rich fat to save for future scarcity.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: So these fat cells form a layer underneath the skin that act as a cushion to the surrounding body tissues and organs.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: So as your body stores more and more fat, the number of fat cells remains the same.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: However, each fat cell simply expands.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: So this is important to understand because that's why you know waking can occur even when you eat very little.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: So the fat cells protect you by literally forming a cushion between you and the world.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's rather like using bubble wrap to, you know, protect like your delicate, you know, dishes or mugs.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is like usually a defense mechanism when you were very sensitive, easily hurt, um, you were bullied, whether it was verbally, physically, you know, even sexual abuse, or feeling unsafe.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: And keep in mind, like you can feel unsafe.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: Unsafe doesn't have to be physical trauma, it doesn't have to be beating, you can feel you know unsafe.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Like right now, a lot of people feel unsafe, and that's also why this episode I think is so important right now is that when everything is kind of unstable and unsafe, you know, you're gonna store more weight eating the exact same because your body doesn't feel safe.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you lost your job recently, maybe you did this, whatever it's going on.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: If your body doesn't feel safe, it's gonna end up storing that as fat.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: So also keep in mind another person's energy can affect you in a multitude of ways.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: It can leave you feeling vulnerable, drained, out of balance, and that can make you obsessed about staying in control and holding your own space.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, that can also lead to food feeling like the only thing you can control.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: You know, perhaps you've had your heart broken and you are now more distressful in relationships, and that you've now created a physical wall as well as an emotional one to really keep others at a distance.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: The fat like the weight or like fat shield, quote unquote, is also you uh also useful when you are unable to set healthy boundaries or speak up for what you want and you need or about what you don't want.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: So a lot of you who have trouble setting boundaries, whether it's at work or relationship, etc., might feel yourself a, your gut health is probably gonna be off, so you're probably gonna be bloated, but b, find yourself holding on to weight.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um, this is also true of especially new mothers that this category as well, um, because like they're dealing with a lot in terms of like your world is definitely changing and they want to nurture others and then ensure like the baby's getting your needs wet, but it happens at your own expense.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: So no matter who you are, if you're not setting proper boundaries, you are going to hold on to energetic weight.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: So you need to know how to do that.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: You need to dive into okay, why am I not setting boundaries?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: Am I not setting boundaries because I'm afraid if I say no to this person, then they're not gonna like me.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so if someone likes me, what am I making that mean?
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: What does you know, am I scared of being rejected or abandoned?
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: And then am I scared like if I say no, I'm not gonna have friends anymore, etc.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: You need to dive into like that core wound and find out what that is.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, there's also using food to suppress or avoid your negative feelings.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: So sometimes feelings are so painful, raw, or shameful or embarrassing that you know we try to avoid them, suppress them, or numb the pain.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: And we do this with like the feel-good, nurturing things, such as food.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: And so, weight becomes a way to hide your feelings until you heal the wounds of your past, you will basically continue to bleed.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: You can assume the pain with like food, alcohol, drugs, all of these things are kind of the same, but eventually the emotional effects of your past will leak out, and it's gonna keep happening until you learn to deal with those.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, there's also like invalidation.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: So perhaps you feel like you don't have the courage or the right to express anger or speak up about you know what you perceive, or speak up for what you need, and this is often learned in childhood where you were punished for speaking up or expressing your feelings, and so instead of venting, you learn to eat, swallow your feelings, stress, maybe you embodied shame or frustration that you know has still left you bloated or left you like holding on to things, and invalidation basically becomes the root of your need to eat, so you begin to use food as a substitute for not getting your own emotional needs met.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: So holding back energy in your throat area can also like cause a thyroid malfunction.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: I also want to add this a little bit in, um, so like hypothyroid, which can also be like, yes, a physical cause of like weight gain, but also it's can manifest through energetic roots as to why you like develop that condition.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: So a physical like fat barrier, as we'll call it in air quotes, can also result from negative self-image or like a lack of personal like power, and so that physical barrier basically becomes a shield to hold people at a distance, or a way to basically punish yourself, or even a way to prove that like you are unlovable.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: So weight gain related to self-image tends to collect in the stomach area, and it can also be a way to control or punish others.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: So excess weight can be an unconscious way to punish parents or a spouse for not giving you what you need, kind of like a look at what you've done to me kind of um stance.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not going over a lot, but I just want to give you guys like as you guys can see, just based on what I've said so far, there are so many energetic ties to weight and like gut health that you need to dive into, and I know it can be overwhelming.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're feeling like live, like I feel like I have five of these, I don't know where to start, I don't know what to do, get into this round of well-nourished because like this is literally, yes, I teach you how to eat and the supplements and all that, and like the physical stuff, but we also do the energetics that are super powerful, and we can work through all of this for you.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're feeling overwhelmed, don't worry, well nourished is still open, um, and we can heal all this.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: So I also want you to think about the fact that you know, some people have like, and this might be you, have learned to use food as an emotional like cookie after they've been hurt.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: You can actually be a literal cookie.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: So when you were a child, you know, perhaps your your mother or your grandma gave you a treat to stop you from crying, or you know, after you got a shot or something at the doctor's office, you got a lollipop, or you got taken out for ice cream.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: And unfortunately, that has basically like the aim was to like distract you from the pain, but what it inadvertently taught you was you shouldn't acknowledge your feelings, find ways to distract yourself from your feelings, and you will find nurturing and comfort from food.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: And so this has become deeply ingrained in kind of like your way of being, and so what you need to do is you need to not only like go back to the root, find like the earliest time this has happened in your childhood, um, but you also need to find like other forms of comfort and like break those habits and limiting beliefs so you can start like rewiring your brain to not go to that for the same thing.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yearning also causes emotional like starvation slash you know the energetics of weight loss because what are you you need to think about what are you starved for?
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: Is it love, is it belonging, is it affection, is it acceptance, is it nurturing, is it safety, you know, or is your heart and mind starved for fulfillment, excitement, growth?
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: You know, failing to follow your heart also causes that.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're not feeling fulfilled in your job or your relationships, or you're not experiencing excitement in your life in all the different areas, um, this is also going to like that yearning, that desire for all that is gonna leave you like energetically starved, which is gonna lead to weight losses, um, not weight loss, weight gain as well.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: So the fat cells basically act as like a thermosuit to your body, helping you to maintain optimal body temperature.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: So, fat is also important in energy metabolism because it feeds your body in times of need.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, you might be thinking, wouldn't your fat cells try to compensate to nourish and feed you in another way?
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_00: But your cells tell your body, like, honey, I will love you, I will feed you, I will nurture you, and you need to learn like healthy self nurturing instead.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: Which brings me to my next point are you nursing old hurts, like old emotional wounds, or holding on to past negative ideas or beliefs that aren't serving you?
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like, are you weighed down by the past or you know, all the energetic burdens and hurts?
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what are you still holding on to?
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: Because the energetic like weight, quote unquote, of these burdens basically accumulates in your auric field and translates into your physical body.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: So think about it like layers of energetic clothing.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, an old wardrobe that you are, you know, refusing to discard.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_00: All this stuff that you're holding on to, the maybe the bullying from when you were little or your dad doing this or mom doing this growing up, whatever it is, it can be things that were 10 years ago, it can be things that were last week.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: But all of them basically add layers and like physical accumulations to your body.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: You might also notice that you know you retain water, or you know, your lymph system feels inflamed, or you feel puffy because like your lymph system, which nourishes your cells and carries toxins away for elimination, has become stagnant because it's holding on to toxins instead of releasing for that that you no longer need.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so this is why like it's important to like detox, I'm gonna use like the word detox, but detox these emotional wounds and like release them because otherwise you're gonna keep like retaining them, which not only can lead to weight, but also like puffiness, like you know, water weight, um, your limb system being bogged down, even like things like constipation and bloating and all of that.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: So those who are like highly sensitive or like empathetic or overly nurturing often take on like the emotional debris or energies of those around them.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: So if you are not protecting or cleansing yourself constantly, you might actually gain weight in proportion to the emotional and energetic extra weight with which you are burdening yourself.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so like I'm gonna repeat that again.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you aren't protecting or clearing yourself, you might gain weight in proportion to the emotional or energetic weight that you are burdening yourself.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: So if you are a nurse, an emotional healer, an energy worker, if you just like are an empath and you're just like surrounded by negative Nancy's or sorry if anyone's name is Nancy.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know why negative Nancy is like a thing, but probably because of rhymes.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: But you need to think about where are you picking up that extra energy that you are then going to expand and hold because you are going to gain weight in proportion to what you're picking up from everyone else if you're not protecting your energy.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's why you guys always see me like protect my energy all the time.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like I am protecting your energy Nazi, is why I wear my like black tourmaline bracelet daily.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um, for those of you asking when it's going to be restocked, because um you guys know that I designed my own one with I'm energy collective, and we are restocking it soon, so that protects your energy.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: I also have my cleanse and protect spray that I use, you know, whether I'm going out, I'm leaving the house, I cleanse and protect.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_00: When I get home, I cleanse and protect.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: After a client, you know, I cleanse and protect because I don't want to take on, you know, my client's energy with what they're struggling with, because that will actually manifest in my body.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you are it isn't but that's the thing, it doesn't always have to be like if you have a job like me, it can be like you go into the grocery store and you ran into Sally who's feeling like whatever, you're picking up on her energy, and that can actually manifest as your physical weight.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_00: So it's just like you need to start being aware of all these things and like really making an effort to like cleanse and protect yourself on the daily.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then that brings me to things like are you experiencing pleasure in your life?
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: Are you just going through the motions?
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: Are you denying yourself of doing things that you know would make your heart sing?
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that way, like in that case, you might actually be making your body unable to utilize sugars properly, which leads to weight gain.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_00: So when you fail to follow your heart, like weight gainslash obesity, whatever you want to call it, can be how your body compensates.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: So you must feed your soul as well as your body.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_00: So if you are starred for fulfillment and purpose, and you know, maybe you've abandoned your genes, or I don't know, you've always longed to like be a singer in Las Vegas, I don't know, and instead you're setting at a desk job, you know, and you hate it, that's gonna make you, you know, gain weight or make you bloated, make you have got health issues.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_00: Have you been denied, you know, those pleasures you know that would otherwise fulfill you?
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's important to think about all of these things.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_00: The next thing is like self-indulgence.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, self-indulgence is basically an emotional substitute for lack of joy, excitement, fulfillment, enrichment, purpose, all of these things because you long, crave, or basically yearn for something intangible and mood-altering food, like that was going to allow you to relate to this feeling.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why like the junk food, chocolate, or sugar can cause a quick high because they become an emotional substitute.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, and then the like the junk food and the sugar causes the hyperadrenal response in the body, you get a quick rush, etc.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: But unfortunately, this is addictive and it quickly overtaxes your metabolism.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: So you really need to think about okay, where am I not getting like fulfillment, excitement, enrichment that is making me overeat or crave things that do you harm because your body is not designed to crave sugar or foods that are unnatural or leaving with toxins, artificial colorings, preservatives, etc.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_00: So, like if you feel yourself wanting to eat a whole pack of Oreos, it's not because your body actually wants to, or it wants something else.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, what is what are those Oreos representing to you?
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: So, when this happens, it's a sign that there is a greater imbalance, and this imbalance is most likely like a deeper emotional energetic level that you know you need to uncover.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: So, keep in mind that like fat holds energy, so you know, there's different ways you can release it, but this is like because they have ways of retaining things and carrying thoughts and ideas.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: So when it accumulates in the body, it indicates holding on to things, you know, retaining all of these things that all of these aspects that I just talked about, you know, it might be five of them, it might be two of them, you know, but all of these things are gonna end up playing a role.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: And keep in mind it's also extremely protective.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_00: So a buildup can also be like an indication that you're protecting yourself or hiding yourself from the world.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like, do you have low self-esteem?
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so you feel the need to hide yourself because you don't feel safe in who you are and shining your light, and so the weight can come from that.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I want to talk about like eating with love because you don't need to like judge the foods you eat or really the foods other people eat.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: All you need to do is follow what feels best to you and what feels right.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because when you love like yourself and you align with that on an emotional level and like an energetic level, it allows you to eat like the in the perfect way that is for you.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_00: And it also allows you to eat when you're genuinely feeling hungry and stop when you are genuinely feeling full.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: And remember, you never like want sugar or like uh you know, uh, you know, gluten, you know, whatever it is, like that's your body's signal for something else.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_00: So you nearly need to start becoming aware of that.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and you don't have to eat, you know, just because it's lunchtime, you don't have to eat cereal in the morning because it's breakfast.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_00: All you need to do, really, is listen to your body and eat the things that make you feel good, vibrant, and alive in a way that's not you know trying to cover up emotional wounds or fill a void that you know the energetic weight or the energetic emotional component is doing.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, because when you eat with love, like and not guilt or anything like that, like the food is going to nourish you and you're it's not going to, you know, make you gain weight.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: Or, like, for example, if you have an emotional void and you're feeling maybe really lonely or really this and upset and you go and you eat all the Oreos, feel like yes, like the sugar and all that's gonna make you gain weight.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: That's like a part of the puzzle.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: But the other piece or the other percent that makes up that puzzle is the fact that, like, well, you feeling guilty after you know eating a whole pack of Oreos is also gonna make you eat like you're gonna hold energetically onto more weight because of the guilt and shame that you feel for doing such an action.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: So you can really start to see how it's like multi-component, and that's why I always say when people are like, Oh, but I eat the cliocine, but I do this and it's not coming off, is because of the energetic.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, with this Oreo example, yes, part of it is like the sugar, gluten, excess, whatever, but part of it is also the guilt, shame, etc., that is making you hold on to weight, making you bloated, etc.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: Which brings me to like basically my last point before I close out this episode is that like loving yourself is is always the answer.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_00: Loving yourself more, you know, there's nothing wrong with wanting to feel good and lose weight, and that's what people think.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you can be happy and love yourself, but still want you know to be healthier and stronger and feel good and to release all of these like energetic things and these emotions that are keeping you stuck, these emotions that are keeping you unhappy, these emotions that are keeping you feeling less than unworthy, guilt, shame, etc.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, if you struggle to love your body, like you need to like allow yourself and allow yourself to heal and get in touch with you know that awesome infinite stream of energy that that lives in that really lives within you, and that it's not impossible to love when you feel.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_00: So, what when you love yourself inside and out, the rest truly like take care of itself.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I can't say enough about everything in your life that when you love yourself wholeheartedly and like eat foods that feel loving and in alignment with you, but like you know, your higher self would eat, not the wounded emotional part of you would eat, there will never be a need to like go on a diet, and that's also like you guys know I'm not for diets, I'm not for calorie counting, macro counting, etc.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm all about like eating in alignment in a way that's gonna nourish your body, healing those emotional wounds, breaking the emotional eating, so that like okay, yes, you can go with your girlfriends, maybe have some like rose and some French fries, not feel guilty or shame after, enjoy that, but you still feel good in your body, you know, you still feel delicious, you still feel all of these wonderful things.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like, it doesn't have to be an either or, and that's why like well nourish is so so important, is because it's gonna teach you how to do all of that.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_00: So if you feel like you're struggling, if you feel like you've tried everything, you're like, Liv, it's like it's not gonna work, like why would this work?
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's because you haven't done the emotional work yet, you haven't released the guilt, shame, people pleasing, not setting boundaries, everything I basically just talked about in this episode.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: So I hope that was useful.
• 31:40
