Do a Habit Inventory to Lose Weight for the Last Time | Healthy Real Food Podcast Ep. 236

In episode 236 of the Healthy Real Food Podcast, the host explains how habits—not willpower—drive sustainable weight loss and peace with food, especially for women over 40, and introduces a simple “habit inventory” to build awareness and lasting change. She shares how small, consistent actions compound over time (inspired by Atomic Habits) and highlights identity-based change, using client Jean’s 80+ pound loss and improved strength as an example. List your current habits, then separate those that serve you from those that don’t, and identify what the future version of you does consistently. Choose one high-impact habit to focus on, apply the four behavior-change laws (make it obvious, attractive, easy, satisfying), add friction to unwanted habits, and prioritize foundational practices like real food, tracking, follow-through, and daily accountability, plus support through coaching and strategy sessions.

Feeling Like Quitting Your Weight Loss Journey? Use the Emotional Triad to Get Back on Track (Ep. 235)

In episode 235 of the Healthy Real Food Podcast, the host speaks to women feeling discouraged on their weight loss journey and explains how emotional state drives behavior. She shares her own recent experience of wanting to quit while building her business and teaches Tony Robbins’ “Emotional Triad”—physiology, focus, and language—as a practical way to shift out of a slump. She describes how changing posture, movement, sleep, and nourishment can boost energy; how redirecting focus from what’s not working to progress and “the gain” restores momentum; and how replacing disempowering self-talk with empowering language supports course-correction. She emphasizes that fear and self-doubt are normal, encourages listeners to “stop stopping,” and invites them to follow, review, share, or message her on Facebook Messenger for coaching support.

The Invisible Barrier Keeping You Stuck in Weight Loss (Mindset Mastery for Women Over 40) | Ep. 234

In episode 234 of the Healthy Real Food Podcast, Erin Hart speaks to women over 40 who feel stuck in a cycle of dieting and self-doubt, emphasizing that lasting weight loss is driven less by strategy and more by mindset. She explains how thoughts become beliefs and identity, and how the brain looks for evidence to confirm what you already believe, making self-talk a key tool for change. Erin shares her own story of losing over 100 pounds after being 284 pounds in 2020 and maintaining the loss for more than five years, and illustrates mindset principles through her experience learning to ski at Solitude Mountain Resort in Utah—showing how coaching yourself with helpful thoughts improves outcomes. She encourages listeners to notice their self-talk, challenge unhelpful thoughts by asking if they are true, helpful, and kind, and replace them with empowering alternatives that act as direction. Using examples from her daughter Eva’s perspective on falling while learning and quotes from Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, she reframes failure as feedback and urges persistence. Erin also highlights how coaching accelerates growth, inviting listeners to seek support through free coaching calls via healthyrealfood.com and reminding them their past does not determine their future.
