Maybe it's: ❤️ Putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own❤️ Telling yourself you'll start taking care of your health on Monday❤️ Avoiding something because you're afraid of failing❤️ Saying yes when you really want to say no❤️ Believing you're just not the kind of person who can stay consistent❤️ Falling back into familiar habits when life gets stressful Instead of judging yourself, I want you to ask: What belief might be keeping this pattern in place? Then ask yourself: Is this belief still serving the person I want to become? Choose ONE small action this week that supports the person you want to be. It doesn't have to be a dramatic change. Maybe it's taking a 10-minute walk, setting a boundary, or making time for yourself. Remember, you're not just changing a habit. You're beginning to create a new pattern. In This Episode, We Discuss:The difference between the conscious and unconscious mindWhy knowing what to do doesn't always translate into taking actionHow unconscious beliefs and familiar patterns may influence our behaviorWhy the brain often favors familiarity and perceived safety over changeHow childhood experiences, family beliefs, and cultural influences shape our perspectivesWhy even behaviors that don't serve us may have an underlying perceived benefitHow movies, television, and everyday messages influence what we believe is normalKey Takeaways:Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things. Information and motivation can be helpful, but our existing beliefs, habits, and emotional responses can also influence whether we follow through.Familiar patterns can feel safe, even when they aren't serving us. Matan explains that our tendency to return to familiar behaviors may help us understand why change sometimes feels uncomfortable.Our beliefs are shaped by more than our own experiences. Family, childhood, culture, media, and the messages we repeatedly encounter can influence how we see ourselves and what's possible for our lives.Breaking a pattern is only the beginning. Lasting behavior change often requires practicing a different response, not simply trying to stop an unwanted behavior.Connect with Matan Cohen-Citron:Matan Cohen-Citron is a hypnotherapist and coach who helps people bridge the gap between knowing and doing. With more than 25 years of experience exploring the mind-body connection, Matan's journey began with yoga and movement practices and expanded into areas including Pilates, Qigong, energy healing, hypnosis, and approaches to personal change. Through hypnotherapy and coaching, he helps individuals explore unconscious beliefs and patterns that may be influencing their behavior and standing between them and the life they want to create. His work includes exploring limiting beliefs, anxiety, past experiences, personal growth, and performance. He emphasizes individualized approaches that combine curiosity, compassion, and practical tools to support meaningful change. Matan's philosophy centers on an important idea: Understanding a pattern is valuable, but creating and practicing a new way of responding is what helps move change into everyday life.

The next time a craving shows up, ask yourself: What might my body actually be asking for? Maybe it's: ❤️ Nourishment because you haven't eaten enough❤️ Energy because you've gone too long between meals❤️ Rest because you're running on too little sleep❤️ Comfort because you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed❤️ Simply the enjoyment of something sweet Choose one moment this week to pause and notice what's happening before responding. And remember, enjoying a piece of Halloween candy doesn't mean you've failed at being healthy. In This Episode, We Discuss:Why sugar cravings aren't simply a matter of willpowerHow hunger and inconsistent eating can influence cravingsThe relationship between blood sugar fluctuations and the desire for something sweetWhy protein, fiber, and balanced meals can help support steadier energyHow stress and emotional needs may influence food choicesThe connection between sleep and appetite regulationWhy labeling foods as good or bad can create unnecessary guiltKey TakeawaysSugar cravings aren't always about willpower. Hunger, eating patterns, sleep, stress, food availability, and enjoyment can all influence cravings. Understanding those factors can help you respond more intentionally.Balanced nourishment matters. Eating consistently and including satisfying sources of protein, fiber, and other nutrients can support energy and help prevent excessive hunger.Restriction isn't always the answer. For some people, labeling foods as forbidden or repeatedly trying to avoid them can increase food preoccupation and guilt.Your relationship with food matters too. Enjoying something sweet doesn't automatically undo your healthy habits. One food choice doesn't define your overall health.Connect with Lindsie VizethannLindsie Vizethann is a nurse turned health and nutrition coach, Body Wisdom Guide, two-time author, podcaster, and speaker who helps women understand the messages behind their symptoms and create sustainable changes that support their health and their lives.

Maybe it's: ❤️ Avoiding certain foods because a diet told you to❤️ Ignoring your hunger to stick to a schedule❤️ Feeling guilty when you eat something you enjoy❤️ Believing you need to exercise to earn your food Now ask yourself: Is this rule actually helping me nourish my body, or is it keeping me disconnected from what my body needs? Choose one small way to practice listening to your body instead of automatically following that rule. Remember, your body deserves to be heard, not constantly controlled. In This Episode, We Discuss:How diet trends have evolved from SlimFast and the grapefruit diet to Atkins, keto, and carnivoreWhy familiar weight-loss approaches continue to return under different namesThe history of restrictive dieting and its influence on food behaviorsHow dieting and food restriction can affect hunger, fullness, and our relationship with foodWhy nutrition recommendations should consider individual needs, preferences, and circumstancesThe importance of recognizing how different foods make you feelPaula's personal experience with childhood weight stigma, restrictive eating, and severe malnutritionHow comments from family members and partners can influence body image and eating behaviorsMy own experiences with body shaming and restrictive food habitsKey Takeaways:Diet trends often repeat themselves. Many popular eating plans share similarities with approaches that have existed for decades. A new name or marketing strategy doesn't necessarily mean an entirely new approach to nutrition.Restrictive dieting can affect more than your weight. For some individuals, repeated food restriction can contribute to increased food preoccupation, stress around eating, and difficulty recognizing hunger and fullness cues.Nutrition isn't one-size-fits-all. Your nutritional needs can be influenced by your health, activity, preferences, medical conditions, and individual circumstances. A plan that works well for one person may not be appropriate for another.Words about our bodies can stay with us for years. Comments about weight, appearance, or food choices—especially during childhood or from people we trust—can have a lasting influence on body image and eating behaviors.Weight-loss treatments deserve informed conversations. Bariatric surgery and GLP-1 medications have potential benefits, risks, and limitations. Understanding those factors with qualified healthcare professionals is important when considering individual treatment options.Connect with Paula Atkinson:Paula D. Atkinson is a liberation psychotherapist, educator, and advocate for body acceptance who has spent more than 15 years working with individuals experiencing disordered eating, food obsession, exercise addiction, and body dissatisfaction. As a former professor of Weight & Society at George Washington University, Paula developed and taught a course exploring the history of fatphobia and society's cultural preference for thinness.

Maybe it's: ❤️ Following recipes with too many ingredients or steps❤️ Remembering to eat before your energy crashes❤️ Spending hours meal prepping only to abandon the plan❤️ Forgetting about healthy food hidden in your refrigerator❤️ Feeling overwhelmed by deciding what to eat❤️ Trying to follow a restrictive diet that doesn't fit your lifestyle❤️ Feeling guilty when you can't maintain a routine Instead of asking: Why can't I just stick to the plan? Try asking: What could I change to make nourishing myself easier? Maybe it's keeping prepared ingredients at eye level, assembling a simple meal instead of cooking from scratch, or making time for a short walk. Choose ONE small adjustment this week and notice how it affects your ability to follow through. Remember, your health doesn't have to look perfect to support you. In This Episode, We Discuss:Why traditional diets and meal plans can be difficult to sustainHow ADHD and executive function challenges affect healthy eatingWhy decision fatigue can make meal preparation overwhelmingAmy's approach to accessible nourishmentSimple strategies for making nutritious food more visible and convenientWhy consistent nourishment matters when supporting energy and blood sugarThe challenges of weight loss for women navigating ADHD and PCOS/PMOSKey Takeaways:Traditional diet advice isn't always practical. Being handed a meal plan doesn't mean you have the time, energy, executive function, or resources to follow it. Your approach to nutrition needs to fit your actual life.Accessible nourishment can make healthy eating easier. Simple meals, visible ingredients, prepared foods, and fewer decisions can help reduce barriers to eating consistently.ADHD can affect how you approach food. Working memory, prioritization, decision fatigue, and executive function challenges may make planning, preparing, and eating meals more difficult.Weight loss isn't the only measure of progress. Improved energy, more consistent nourishment, better daily routines, and feeling stronger are meaningful outcomes worth recognizing.Connect with Amy Jones:Amy Jones is a certified functional nutrition practitioner, certified ADHD life coach, and certified teacher. After nearly 20 years in education and receiving her own ADHD diagnosis at 45, Amy now helps neurodivergent and overwhelmed adults better understand the connection between nutrition, energy, executive function, hormones, and the realities of following through with healthy habits. Her approach focuses on making nourishment more accessible rather than simply giving people another plan they're expected to follow perfectly.

Instead, ask yourself: What is ONE thing I can add this week to better support my body? Not five things. Not a new diet. Not a list of everything you need to stop eating or doing. Just one addition.

Join us inside the Healthy Ever After app, where you'll find: ✨ A supportive community of women on the same journey🎙️ Every episode of PCOS Unfiltered🥗 Healthy recipes and meal ideas📝 Weekly challenges and Body Wisdom practices🎁 Free guides and exclusive resources📅 Live trainings, Q&As, and special events Download the Healthy Ever After app today and join us! 📱 Apple📱 Android Body Wisdom ChallengeThis week, I want you to practice something Sharon and I both talked about toward the end of our conversation: Create 10 minutes of space before you immediately jump into your day. Sharon talks about intentionally slowing down in the morning, having a cup of tea, spending time in her garden, walking on the beach, getting outside, and simply being present with her surroundings. Your version doesn't need to look like hers. Maybe you: ❤️ Take your coffee outside for 10 minutes❤️ Sit somewhere without your phone❤️ Step outside and feel the morning air❤️ Take a few slow breaths before checking email❤️ Notice what you hear, see, smell, and feel around you And then ask yourself: How am I actually feeling today? Not what do I need to accomplish? Not what should I be doing? Just: How am I? You don't need an entire morning. Give yourself 10 minutes to be present before the rest of the world starts asking something from you. Then notice what your body has to say. In This Episode, We Discuss:What adenomyosis is and how it differs from endometriosisPelvic pain, heavy periods, bowel symptoms, and other concerns Sharon sees in women with adenomyosisWhy pelvic floor support may be one piece of care for some women experiencing pelvic symptomsSharon's perspective on hysterectomy and why major treatment decisions require an individualized conversationWhy the nervous system keeps coming up in conversations about women's healthSharon's perspective on the relationship between previous experiences with pain, illness, stress, and how we respond to symptoms todayHow Lindsie's own health journey helped her become more aware of patterns involving stress, food, bloating, and energyGetting curious about symptoms without becoming obsessive about themKey TakeawaysListening doesn't mean obsessing over every symptom. Body awareness can be as simple as noticing patterns and asking what changed—your stress, sleep, food, environment, movement, or season of life.Your nervous system is part of the conversation. Sharon shares her perspective on why experiences with pain, illness, and stress can influence how we respond to what is happening in our bodies today. You don't have to control every environmental exposure. Instead, focus on reasonable choices available to you, such as being mindful of the foods, household products, cosmetics, and personal-care products you use. You are allowed to ask more questions. If something doesn't feel right or you don't feel your concerns have been adequately addressed, Sharon encourages women to seek another qualified opinion when appropriate.Connect with Sharon Cassar GaleaSharon Cassar Galea joins me for Part 1 of this conversation, bringing more than two decades of experience across nursing, metabolic health, women's health, health coaching, and functional medicine. Through her work with Embrace Holistic Health, Sharon takes a functional and holistic approach to women's health, metabolic health, hormones, and helping women better understand the bigger picture behind their symptoms.

Maybe it's something you've been told is "normal." Maybe you've been reassured that everything looks fine, but you still don't feel like yourself. Or maybe you've simply lived with a symptom for so long that you've stopped wondering whether there's more to understand. Sharon uses a phrase in this conversation that I love: You are the CEO of your own body. So this week, practice being curious. ❤️ What symptom or pattern keeps getting your attention? ❤️ What questions do you still have? ❤️ Do you feel heard when you talk about those concerns? ❤️ Is there a question you want to bring to your healthcare provider—or seek another qualified opinion about? You don't have to diagnose yourself or figure everything out on your own. In This Episode, We Discuss:Sharon's 20+ years working across nursing, metabolic health, diabetes, women's health, health coaching, and functional medicineHow Sharon's own health challenges influenced her desire to look beyond symptoms and explore a more holistic approachWhy so many women arrive in Sharon's practice after seeing multiple practitioners and still feeling like they don't have answersWhat it can feel like when women's symptoms are dismissed, minimized, or attributed solely to weight, anxiety, or depressionWhy Sharon encourages women to become the "CEO of their own body"Key TakeawaysYou deserve to feel heard. If you have ongoing symptoms or concerns that you don't feel have been adequately addressed, Sharon encourages women to ask questions and seek another qualified opinion when appropriate.PCOS is about more than the ovaries. Our conversation explores why looking at metabolic and endocrine health can provide a broader picture than focusing on ovarian findings alone. Your gut may be one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Sharon discusses how she considers digestion, the gut microbiome, elimination, and hormone metabolism when looking at women's health through a functional-medicine lens. A diagnosis isn't the end of your questions. Understanding what is happening in your body can involve continuing the conversation, asking for clarification, and advocating for appropriate care.Connect with Sharon Cassar GaleaSharon Cassar Galea joins me for Part 1 of this conversation, bringing more than two decades of experience across nursing, metabolic health, women's health, health coaching, and functional medicine.

Not what it looks like.Not what you wish it would change.Not what you think it should be doing differently. What is your body doing for you right now? Tatiana talks about how easy it can be to overlook parts of our bodies until something goes wrong. Her practice is an invitation to create a different kind of relationship—one rooted in awareness and appreciation. So sometime this week, place your hand somewhere on your body and simply say: ❤️ I see you.❤️ Thank you.❤️ I'm listening. You don't need to make anything happen. Just notice what it feels like to relate to your body with appreciation instead of criticism. In This Episode, We Discuss:Why Tatiana believes connecting with and appreciating the body has become an important part of her personal wellness practiceHer practice of intentionally connecting with parts of the body women may rarely think about, including the ovariesHow women can become so focused on nurturing others that they lose connection with themselvesTatiana's personal spiritual perspective on generational patterns, energy, meditation, and imaginationExploring generational experiences with appreciation rather than blameWhy inner work doesn't have to mean knowing every detail of your family's historyCombining traditional medical care with other supportive wellness practices rather than viewing them as mutually exclusiveTatiana's experience noticing changes in her mental health, energy, and body over the past few yearsThe health wake-up call that came when prolonged heavy bleeding contributed to very low iron and ferritinKey TakeawaysYour relationship with your body matters. Instead of only noticing your body when something feels wrong, consider creating moments of connection and appreciation for what it does for you every day.Nurturing yourself deserves a place on the list too. Women can spend so much time caring for everyone else that they lose pieces of themselves along the way. Tatiana encourages women to turn some of that nurturing inward. Your wellness toolbox can evolve with you. Your body changes, your life changes, and the tools you need may change too. What supported you five years ago may not be what you need today. Inner work doesn't have to become another obligation. Meditation, journaling, nutrition, movement, or any other supportive practice loses something when it becomes another standard you use to judge yourself.Connect with Tatiana SlezakTatiana Slezak joins me in this episode to share her personal experience with PCOS and the inner and spiritual practices that have become part of her wellness journey. Her work explores topics including self-awareness, meditation, energy, inner work, generational patterns, and creating a deeper connection with yourself.

Tatiana reminds us that even when we're doing something meant to support ourselves—like meditation, journaling, movement, or eating differently—we can turn it into another opportunity to judge ourselves when we don't do it "perfectly." So this week, simply notice. ❤️ What do you say to yourself when you make a mistake? ❤️ What do you say when you miss a workout or don't follow through on something you planned? ❤️ Would you speak to someone you love the same way? You don't have to fix every thought. Start by noticing it. Then ask yourself: What would it sound like to speak to my body with curiosity, appreciation, and a little more grace? In This Episode, We Discuss:Tatiana's experience with PCOS beginning with painful, heavy, and unpredictable periods as a teenagerBeing told that her symptoms were simply something she would have to live withTatiana's personal exploration of generational trauma and generational patternsHow the stories and language we use toward ourselves can shape the way we experience our livesJournaling, meditation, and creating intentional quiet timeTatiana's "meeting with the boss" practice and why she makes time for it every morningLetting go of the pressure to do self-care and inner work perfectlyCreating a deeper sense of connection and appreciation for your bodyThe tendency many women experience to care for everyone else while overlooking their own needsTatiana's spiritual perspective on energy, body connection, and healingKey TakeawaysYour symptoms deserve to be taken seriously. Tatiana spent years navigating painful and unpredictable cycles and feeling that her concerns weren't always understood. Her story is a reminder of the importance of continuing to ask questions and advocate for yourself. You can become curious about the patterns you carry without blaming yourself—or previous generations. Tatiana views exploring generational experiences as one part of her personal inner work, while emphasizing that women shouldn't feel guilty if their children experience similar struggles. Small moments of stillness can matter. Tatiana's "meeting with the boss" can be as simple as sitting quietly for a few minutes without an agenda. She says she began noticing that she was less reactive over time. Pay attention to how you speak to yourself. Self-care doesn't need to become another standard you use to judge yourself when you don't do it perfectly. Your wellness toolbox can contain more than one tool. Nutrition, movement, medical care, journaling, meditation, rest, and practices that help you feel more connected to yourself don't have to compete with one another.Connect with Tatiana SlezakTatiana Slezak joins me in this episode to share her personal experience with PCOS and the inner and spiritual practices that have become part of her wellness journey.

Instead, ask yourself: What is ONE thing that would make this season feel easier for me? Maybe it's: ❤️ Creating a default dinner night so you don't have to decide what's for dinner every day ❤️ Choosing two or three anchor habits that help you feel grounded ❤️ Having three easy breakfasts ready for busy mornings ❤️ Planning ahead for that 3 p.m. hunger ❤️ Giving yourself permission to count 10 minutes of movement Choose one and try it this week. Then pay attention: How does your energy feel? Does your week feel a little easier? Are you less overwhelmed? What is your body telling you? In This Episode, We Discuss:Why the routine that worked during the summer may not work for you this fall—and why that doesn't mean you've failedCreating a default week for dinner to reduce daily decision fatigueChoosing two or three anchor habits that help you feel grounded when your schedule changesCreating three easy, reliable breakfasts for busy fall morningsPlanning ahead for 3 p.m. hunger instead of turning hunger into a battleChoosing your busiest evening of the week as a slow-cooker nightKey TakeawaysYour routine should support your season—not fight against it. What worked for you in June may not be what you need in September, and adjusting your routine isn't failure. Healthy habits don't have to be complicated. Default meals, a few reliable breakfasts, one slow-cooker night, and a short weekly planning session can reduce decisions and make taking care of yourself easier.Consistency beats intensity. Ten minutes of walking, strength training, stretching, or movement still counts. You don't need a 45-minute workout for movement to be worthwhile. Hunger is communication—not something you need to fight. Planning ahead for afternoon hunger can help you respond intentionally rather than waiting until you're starving. Rest belongs in your routine too. Empty space on your calendar doesn't automatically belong to someone else, and you don't have to completely exhaust yourself before you're “allowed” to rest.Connect with Lindsie VizethannLindsie Vizethann is a nurse turned health and nutrition coach, Body Wisdom Guide, two-time author, podcaster, and speaker who helps women understand the messages behind their symptoms and create sustainable changes that support their health and their lives.

Choose one area where you continually feel stuck, maybe it's food, movement, your body, boundaries, self-care, relationships, or the way you speak to yourself. Then ask yourself: ❤️ What happens in my body when I think about this? ❤️ Am I responding to myself with curiosity or judgment? ❤️ What am I afraid might happen if I did something differently? Body Wisdom isn't about treating yourself like another project that needs to be fixed. It's about becoming curious enough to understand yourself and compassionate enough to listen. In This Episode, We Discuss:Ramona's journey from herbal wellness and holistic weight-loss coaching into fitness, empowerment coaching, and Gentle Trauma ReleaseWhy Ramona believes the nervous system and unresolved distress are often overlooked when women feel stuckHow emotional patterns may influence our choices, behaviors, boundaries, and relationship with ourselvesWhy creating safety in the body is foundational to Ramona's approachThe problem with using the scale as the primary measure of progressWhy strength, energy, body composition, and how you feel may tell you more than your weightMoving away from all-or-nothing thinking around food, exercise, and healthWhy honoring your capacity matters during stressful seasons of lifeHow perimenopause, menopause, divorce, caregiving, and other transitions can become opportunities to reassess what you wantKey TakeawaysFeeling stuck doesn't automatically mean you need more willpower. Sometimes getting curious about the emotional and nervous-system patterns surrounding a behavior can give you a different place to begin.The scale is a tool—not a measure of your worth or the full story of your health. Strength, energy, mobility, body composition, confidence, and how you feel matter too. Your capacity changes with the season of your life. Supporting yourself during a difficult transition may look very different from what it looks like during a season when you have more time and energy. Gentleness doesn't mean weakness. Ramona's approach emphasizes creating safety, reducing shame and judgment, and listening to the parts of yourself that may still be trying to protect you.Connect with Ramona KossowanRamona Kossowan is a women’s wellness and empowerment coach whose work incorporates Gentle Trauma Release, nervous system healing, mindful eating, strength training, fitness, and food relationship coaching to help women feel stronger, more connected to themselves, and more empowered in their lives.

Instead, practice curiosity before action. Think about one health or wellness tool you've been curious about, maybe it's red light therapy, sauna, cold exposure, hyperbaric oxygen, or something completely different. Then ask yourself: ❤️ What am I actually hoping this will help me with? ❤️ Is there evidence supporting its use for that particular goal? ❤️ What are the potential risks, limitations, or reasons it may not be appropriate for me? ❤️ Am I choosing this because it genuinely supports my needs—or because I feel like I should be doing more? ❤️ Have I already built the foundations that matter most: nourishment, sleep, movement, stress regulation, and recovery? Body Wisdom isn't about doing everything available to you. It's about becoming informed enough to recognize what makes sense for your body, your goals, and this season of your life. In This Episode, We Discuss:Why hyperbaric oxygen is one of Brian's favorite wellness modalities and how he personally incorporates it into his routineWhat PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) is and Brian's explanation of how it is intended to interact with the bodySensory deprivation and why removing external stimulation may create a very different meditation and body-awareness experienceBrian's personal experience using wellness modalities while recovering from a neck and back injuryWhy the quality of wellness equipment and protocols can matter when researching a facilityRed light panels versus full-body red light bedsHalo therapy and Brian's explanation of aerosolized saltVagus nerve stimulation and its connection to nervous system regulationKey TakeawaysYou don't need to try every wellness modality just because it's available. Start with the problem you're actually trying to solve and investigate whether a particular tool makes sense for that goal.Not every facility, device, or protocol is necessarily equivalent. Brian recommends looking at the research and understanding what equipment and protocols were actually studied before choosing where to spend your time and money. Wellness tools can be interesting additions to a health routine, but they don't replace the foundations of nutrition, sleep, movement, stress regulation, recovery, and appropriate medical care.Longevity isn't only about adding years to your life. Quality of life matters, too, a point that becomes central toward the end of Brian and my conversation.Connect with Brian Stayskal:Brian Stayskal is a biohacking coach and consultant whose work focuses primarily on longevity and life extension, human performance, and biological optimization. Brian describes himself as largely self-taught and shares that his interest in the field began through fitness, supplementation, and a desire to better understand how different inputs affect human biology. He currently works within a wellness center in Seminole, Florida, offering access to a variety of health and wellness modalities.

Body Wisdom isn't about doing every possible thing for your health. It's about understanding your body well enough to recognize what it actually needs. In This Episode, We Discuss: How Brian became interested in fitness, human performance, biology, and biohacking What biohacking and biological optimization can look like Why understanding your body can help you become a stronger advocate for your health Nutrition, ingredient awareness, and Brian's perspectives on food quality Why gut health can be an important part of the bigger health picture Why supplements shouldn't necessarily be the first place you start The importance of looking at the body as interconnected systems rather than isolated symptoms Growth, recovery, and why the body needs opportunities to repair The relationship between stress, nervous system regulation, and overall wellness Why health concerns may need to be approached from multiple angles Key Takeaways The newest supplement or wellness tool can't replace a strong foundation. Nutrition, digestion, sleep, movement, recovery, and stress regulation still matter. The body is made up of interconnected systems, which is one reason focusing on a single symptom may not always tell the whole story. Before adding more supplements, it can be helpful to consider the fundamentals—including nutrition and digestive health. Biohacking can include sophisticated wellness technologies, but you don't need to use every modality available to become more engaged with your health. Learning more about your body can help you ask better questions and take a more active role in conversations about your health. More isn't always better. Body Wisdom is about finding what supports your body rather than trying everything simply because it's available. Connect with Brian Stayskal: Brian Stayskal is a biohacking coach and consultant whose work focuses primarily on longevity and life extension, human performance, and biological optimization. Brian describes himself as largely self-taught and shares that his interest in the field began through fitness, supplementation, and a desire to better understand how different inputs affect human biology. He currently works within a wellness center in Seminole, Florida, offering access to a variety of health and wellness modalities. If This Episode Resonated With You...

Choose one area where you continually feel stuck, maybe it’s food, movement, your weight, boundaries, self-care, or another health habit. Then pause and ask yourself: ❤️ What do I currently believe about myself in this area? ❤️ When did I first start believing this? ❤️ Is this belief actually true or has it simply become familiar? ❤️ What am I afraid might happen if I changed? ❤️ What would I like to believe about myself instead? Matt describes the subconscious as being drawn toward what feels safe, familiar, predictable, and certain, even when the pattern itself is no longer serving us. In This Episode, We Discuss: Matt’s journey from physical education, coaching, fitness, and strength and conditioning into psychology and hypnotherapy Why some people can lose weight or make health changes but struggle to maintain them How Matt describes the subconscious mind and its influence on identity, beliefs, habits, patterns, standards, and stories Why childhood experiences can continue influencing our behavior as adults How fear of rejection and people-pleasing may affect food and lifestyle choices The “filing cabinet” analogy Matt uses to explain unprocessed experiences and emotions How one comment or experience can take on a powerful meaning and influence the way we see ourselves Why receiving a diagnosis like PCOS can sometimes create limiting beliefs about what is possible Key Takeaways Knowing what to do and being able to consistently do it are not always the same thing. Your beliefs, identity, past experiences, and learned patterns may influence your behavior more than you realize. What feels familiar can sometimes feel safer to the subconscious—even when consciously you want something different. A diagnosis can provide valuable information, but it does not have to become your entire identity or determine what you believe is possible for your future. Instead of judging yourself for repeatedly returning to an old habit, become curious about what that behavior may represent or protect. Hypnotherapy is not about surrendering control. Matt describes it as entering a focused, relaxed state while remaining aware and in control of the experience.
