  • BEE #148: Why Protein Is the Key to Managing Menopausal Weight Gain, Muscle Loss, and Cravings
    Jul 7 2025

    Message me with comments or questions

    Are you dealing with stubborn sugar cravings, belly fat that won’t budge, or unexplained muscle loss—even though you're doing "all the right things"? You’re not crazy—and you’re definitely not alone. These symptoms may be tied directly to hormonal shifts that start as early as your 30s and ramp up during perimenopause and menopause.

    In this powerful episode of the Breakthrough Emotional Eating podcast, I share my personal journey with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the latest science on protein needs for women in midlife, and simple shifts you can make today that will radically improve your energy, cravings, and body composition.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • ⚡ Why women lose up to 8% of their muscle mass every decade after 30—and how to stop the acceleration during menopause
    • 🥩 Why the old protein guideline (0.8g/kg) is outdated—and what new research recommends instead (1.2–1.6g/kg daily)
    • ⏰ How protein timing—especially first thing in the morning—can stabilize blood sugar and crush afternoon cravings
    • 🧠 The surprising link between hormones, insulin resistance, and emotional eating
    • 💪 What to eat (and when) to protect your metabolism, boost muscle retention, and feel strong for decades to come

    Whether you're proactively preparing for hormonal shifts or deep in the midst of them, this episode will give you clear, actionable strategies to reclaim your health and feel empowered in your body.

  • BEE #147: 6 Weeks to Freedom - Reprogramming Your Brain for Lasting Change
    Jun 17 2025

    Message me with comments or questions

    Ever feel like your willpower betrays you—especially when it comes to food, habits, or self-sabotage? That’s not a flaw in your character; it’s a clue. In this episode, we explore the subconscious mind—the silent powerhouse behind 95% of your decisions. You’ll learn why all the intention in the world can’t overcome deeply embedded beliefs formed between ages one and seven, especially if those beliefs tell you that change isn’t safe, success isn’t for you, or food is your only comfort.

    I’ll walk you through why traditional methods like positive thinking, strict routines, or willpower alone often fall short. The real breakthrough? Combining conscious change with subconscious rewiring. Using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), we can access and reframe the original root of limiting beliefs—while you remain fully present and aware in a relaxed, receptive state. When this subconscious shift is paired with practical tools and habit work, true, lasting transformation becomes possible—and easeful.

    You'll also hear about my new program, Six Weeks to Freedom, designed to help you stop fighting yourself and finally align your actions with your desires. This unique blend of hypnotherapy and coaching includes two RTT sessions and four transformational coaching sessions over six weeks. Whether you're battling emotional eating, procrastination, low confidence, or chronic people-pleasing, this program meets you at the root. It’s a powerful opportunity to create real change—limited to just five participants in this special beta round. Check the link in the show notes to learn more and grab your spot!

    From Policy to Pilates: Rewriting the Rules of Food, Fitness, and Fulfillment with Sebastian Lim

    What happens when a public health professional trades spreadsheets and systems for sweat and soul work?

    In this powerful and unexpected conversation, host Kristin Jones sits down with fitness coach Sebastian Lim, whose career pivot from healthcare policy to hands-on coaching reveals what it really takes to transform your relationship with food and movement. If you’ve ever felt trapped by emotional eating, confused by diet trends, or disconnected from your body, this episode will meet you where you are—and invite you to grow.

    Sebastian’s journey is more than inspirational; it’s refreshingly honest. From navigating a five-year vegan lifestyle to launching a gender-inclusive Pilates brand, his insights push past conventional wellness wisdom and challenge us to embrace evolution—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

    Top 5 Lessons from this Episode:
    Movement as Joy, Not Punishment – Learn why falling in love with how your body moves can be the antidote to emotional eating.
    You’re Allowed to Evolve – Sebastian’s personal shift from veganism to a more flexible diet reminds us that our bodies and needs change—and that’s okay.
    Food ≠ Emotional Support – Kristin and Sebastian unpack the idea that food should fuel, not comfort.
    Fitness is for Everyone – Discover how Sebastian’s new project Pilates Boys is breaking down gender barriers in movement spaces.
    Ditch the Rigidity – Whether it’s your meal plan or your workout routine, flexibility and authenticity matter more than perfection.

    💡 Whether you're looking to heal your relationship with food, add more joy to your workouts, or simply give yourself permission to grow—this episode delivers.
