In this episode of Body Bites with Bec, I answer lots of questions from my Instagram followers on Health with Bec!

The questions cover a wide range of topics including:

• My honest thoughts on weight loss medications like Ozempic and 2 of the biggest reasons why they may harm your long term weight loss efforts
• A general insight into breakups (briefly touching on why mine ended to put questions to bed) and my thoughts, tips and advice for being single and dating in your 30s - how to look at it in a positive way
• My recent skincare changes and the BEST products I’ve discovered for acne prone women who also want to use actives for 'anti-aging'
• An insight into my past acne and what helped it improve
• How to navigate the feelings of wanting to quit your business
• If I ever have off days and binge on junk food
• If eating my meal plans can help with regularity and how we all have differing needs for our gut health

Join me for a fun, informative, personal (and a tad vulnerable) discussion here that covers important health and lifestyle topics!

In this episode, I sat down with Sarah, mother and life coach, who has undergone an INSANE weight loss and total health transformation. From struggling with poor body image, sleep and trying everything to lose weight with no success, to losing 21 kgs (and keeping it off), regaining her confidence and improving her sleep, Sarah has totally transformed her wellbeing in every single way, and now feels like the best role model she can be for her son, which was her primary driver.

Sarah shares how the 3-Week Body Reset and Health with Bec Tribe have completely changed her life and how there’s no turning back! She began in September 2023!!

Sarah opens up about:

• Why other diets failed her and how this approach was different

• The incredible results she saw after just 3 weeks!

• The small steps she took to build long-term success (without the overwhelm) and why this is key

• Her best tips for staying motivated even when the scales didn’t move some weeks

• Why understanding your "why" is crucial for lasting change and staying motivated

• How she plans for her week to stay on track

• Why you don't have to eat ‘perfectly’ to get results

• Why you actually don’t have to do meal prep on a Sunday if you don’t want to

• How Sarah navigates the nights where she’s working late or travelling

• How she navigates weekends, social events and "freedom meals"

• The importance of having the right support network

• How to navigate co-workers, friends or family not supporting your lifestyle changes

And more!

This episode is jam packed with inspiration, actionable advice and practical tips for anyone that’s struggling with poor body image and has tried every diet under the sun.

While we often hear about meditation or exercise to reduce stress, I'm going outside the box here with something that's helped me dramatically - setting clever boundaries.

​​By balancing my cortisol levels (stress hormone) in the ways I chat about in this episode, I’ve noticed improved sleep, greater energy, and I've even noticed huge changes in my physique.​​
​
I’ll share how tuning into my own needs and setting strict boundaries have been key. From establishing tech-free times and social media detoxes to being selective with the people I surround myself, I’ve noticed a profound impact on my stress management and overall wellbeing.
​
Join me as I reveal how small boundary-setting practices can lead to healthier cortisol levels and ultimately, a far healthier you. Whether it’s scheduling downtime or learning to say no, these tips can help you reclaim some of your peace in your busy life too!
