After traveling in the Himalayas for 11 years, living in monasteries and doing retreat in a cave, Lisa Reinhardt thought she came back to the US to share what she’d learned about meditation. After an a-ha moment eating chocolate, however, things got really interesting.

Now, as founder of Wei of Chocolate, Lisa delights in giving people permission to eat chocolate every day without guilt. Having compiled reams of research and distilled what exactly differentiates healthy chocolate from run-of-the-mill candy, she believes that a daily piece of chocolate can be not only a path to health & wellness, but a way to bring the benefits of meditation effortlessly into our modern, busy lifestyle.

When she’s not pouring over the latest research on the health benefits of cacao, you can find her traveling to far off places.

Lissa Rankin, MD is a mind-body medicine physician, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute training program for physicians and other health care providers, and the New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself. She is on a grass roots mission to put the care back in health care, and to heal our broken health care system one doctor and one patient at a time.

 

Discouraged by our broken health care system and curious why some patients do everything right but still wind up sick, Lissa set out to discover why some patients experience miraculous cures from seemingly incurable illnesses, while others remain sick even when they receive the best medical care. She researched what really makes people healthy and what predisposes them to illness not just diet, exercise and standard healthy behaviors, but everything else. What she uncovered in the mainstream medical literature led her to develop a type of medical practice she terms Whole Health Medicine, based on the scientifically-proven healthy behaviors she shares in Mind Over Medicine. She is now leading a health care revolution to empower patients to heal themselves, while encouraging the health care industry to embrace and facilitate, rather than resist, such medical miracles.

What does my body need to heal?

More specifically, in this interview you will find out about:

  • the holes of health care
  • health is more than numbers – (happiness, connection, relationships,etc)

“You have to be in it because you love it and have a story to tell.”

~ Beth McMullen

Mentioned in this interview

Beth and I talked about getting in the writer’s zone and how she shuts out the rest of the world. I immediately thought of one of my favorite visual images of getting in the zone. It was from the movie For The Love of the Game with Kevin Costner.

Here is a clip of Costner has shutting out the noise from the fans and getting into the zone.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF8KJZev7u0&feature=colike

How often do you hear those words in your own head?

Next time, I invite you to practice “clear the mechanism” as Costner’s character did and as Beth does in her writing process. Let go of outcomes and focus on the process. Beth does one page at a time and Costner’s character did one pitch at a time.

“How freeing it is to go to bed at night and not worry about what I ate that day.

I am no longer a prisoner of food.”

~ Regina, Weight Loss Client, on How She Really Does It

I wanted to share Regina’s journey with you because it is so damn inspiring how she has changed her life. Like you and me, she is a real woman with a real life that is busy, challenging, filled with happiness and sadness. There are days of struggle and days filled with gratitude and love.

She does not want to be the “poster woman” or even tell others what to do. But she is willing to share her REAL experience. Because it is so easy to think “so and so ate this food, or did this form of exercise and that was the secret to her weight loss.” For her it was not one food, or finding the right exercise to do. In this interview, Regina goes deep on all the facets that helped her on this journey.

You may be able to relate. 26 months ago she did not believe she could create the life she wanted. Over the past 26 months, she has created the life she so craved.

I invite you to listen to her journey and maybe this can give you inspiration and insight to see what is truly possible for yourself. So often we look for the secret recipe, food, or blueprint for weight loss. We believe this “secret” will end the massive amounts of time and energy we spend on food + our bodies in our daily lives. We want to know what the magic food or exercise to incorporate into our lives so we can lose this damn weight forever! But when you listen to her journey, you will realize it was none of that – recipe, specific food/exercise program or blueprint.

In this interview with Regina, we zoom in and out on her personal journey and how she has changed her relationship with food and exercise resulting in a byproduct of over 80 pounds lost. All this and not going on a diet.

I hope this interview gives you insight and helps you or someone you know who may struggle with food, diets, exercise and is a prisoner. Maybe with this interview you can see the glimmer of possibilities for yourself.

Thank you for joining us!

IN THIS INTERVIEW WE DISCUSS:

  • how Regina now views food
  • Regina’s relationship with food now
  • what her relationship with food was like 2 years ago
  • her mindset now and how this helped her on this journey
  • she hated exercise and now is passionate about it – how???
  • how uncovering from shame is the crux of her journey
  • how she cultivated courage
  • how her journey is affecting her relationships in her life
  • how much energy this process really took
  • the effort she put into this process + what she received from it
  • building a team of support

Are you over the age of 50? Do you worry about being employable now? Have you unexpectedly lost your job despite your strong performance? Do you have a fear that you are no longer employable due to your age?

A limiting belief many have is once you are over 50 it is hard to get a job, and doubly hard due to our current economy. Michele Woodward knows the truth about that myth. Michele is an executive coach, career strategist, and author who has helped hundreds of people with employment after 50.

She also has personal experience of gaining employment after 50. In the 1980s, Michele worked in the White House for the Reagan administration and more recently she was Executive Director of the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission, a bipartisan, year-long effort appointed by President Obama.

In this interview we discuss:

  • The job market according to Michele.
  • Current fear of the job market for those over 50.
  • Connector strategy.
  • Processing grief with an unexpected job loss.
  • Dealing with Doubt
  • Process of getting clear on what is next for you.
  • College/education
  • Vulnerability and authenticity
  • Black and white mindset
  • Importance of recognizing how far you have come in your journey.
  • How the future may not look like what you thought but it may be better.

Connect with Michele

My intention with this interview is to empower and inform you that life is not over after 50. You may have experienced a sudden job loss or want to do something differently but are afraid because you are over 50. Michele gives some practical insight of things you can do in this next phase of your life. Remember your age does not define you.

If you know someone who can be helped with this interview please share it with them. Thank you for spending your time to listen to this interview and share it with someone who needs it.
