  • Introduction to a Brain Rewire: Why Your Brain May Be Sabotaging You And What To Do About It
    Aug 27 2024

    Today, we're diving deep into something that so many of us are grappling with right now—our mental and emotional well-being. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in patterns that don't serve you, then this episode is for you.


    Lately, I've had countless conversations with friends who are struggling. They keep asking the same questions:

    • Why am I still suffering?
    • Why can't I break out of these unhealthy patterns?
    • Why don't I have the career, the body, the relationship I want?

    If these questions resonate with you, then you're in the right place. In this episode, we're talking about How to Rewire Your Brain For Success: 4 Core Beliefs to Adopt to Upgrade Your Life.


    This is for you if:

    • You want to stop the negative thinking and fear-based thoughts.
    • You struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or "I'm not good enough-itis."
    • You're ready to upgrade your life in every way—spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally.
    • You're tired of feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, or as my friend Ashley calls it, "quicksand."
    • You know deep down that you're meant for more and you're ready to step into that.


    The Four Core Beliefs to Upgrade Your Life

    In this series, we're going to cover four essential beliefs that will transform your life. I'll give you a sneak peek now, and then we'll dive deeper into each one.

    1. You Can Rewire Your Brain to Change Your Patterns
    2. Yes, you can! It's possible to reprogram your mind to overcome fear, anxiety, self-hate, and overwhelm. Imagine waking up each day with self-love and joy. That's the upgrade we're aiming for.
    3. You Can Live in the Present Moment
    4. We often get stuck in negative programming from the past or anxiety about the future. But when you live in the present moment, you can become the person you're meant to be and fully experience your life.
    5. You Have the Power to Change
    6. And guess what? That change can happen instantly. By harnessing your inner power, you can make the shifts necessary to upgrade your life right now.
    7. You Can Do Hard Things
    8. Growth happens when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones. By doing hard things, we create new neural pathways that lead to an upgraded life.


    Breaking Free from the Mental Shackles

    I know this might sound impossible to some of you. Your brain might be telling you, "This isn't possible for me." But that's your brain trying to protect you, keeping you in a loop of unhealthy thought patterns. Today, we're going to talk about how to break that cycle.


    You're Not Alone

    If any of this resonates with you—if you feel like a prisoner to your circumstances, overwhelmed by negative thoughts, or just exhausted from trying to stay positive—know that you're not alone. I've been there, and I understand how hard it can be. But I also know that change is possible.

    This episode is for anyone who feels ready to give up, who has tried everything and still feels stuck. We're going to explore the neuroscience behind how our brains work and how we can rewire them to create lasting change.


    What If You Could Shift?

    What if I told you that you could:

    • Have real, authentic love for yourself no matter your body shape or level of success?
    • Overcome depression and anxiety and rise above your fears?
    • Experience true freedom in how you think, feel, and live?
    • Follow your dreams with confidence and thrive every day?


    You can have all of this and more. By adopting the four core beliefs we'll discuss, you can rewire your brain, break free from past limitations, and start living the life you've always dreamed of.

  • From Fear to Freedom: Overcome Fears and Unlock Your True Potential
    Aug 16 2024

    Today marks the fifth episode of The Upgrade series, where we continue our journey of self-empowerment and personal growth. In our last episode, we explored the first five of ten fears that often keep us from realizing our true potential. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, be sure to go back and catch up!


    This episode is for all of you current and aspiring thought leaders, creatives, visionaries, influencers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Whether you're already established or still dreaming of making your mark, this episode is your guide to breaking through those final barriers that hold you back.


    One of the most common fears is the fear of bad reviews, trolls, and haters. When you're doing something worthwhile, negativity is almost inevitable. The key is not to let it affect your energy or mission. Learning to forgive, block, and bless those who bring negativity into your space is essential to maintaining your positivity and focus. Remember, it's the people who resonate with your message that truly matter.


    Another significant fear is the fear of failure. But failure is not the end—it's merely a stepping stone to success. Every setback offers an opportunity to learn and grow. Many of the world's most successful people faced significant failures before they achieved greatness, and your journey can be no different.


    The fear of being too old can also be paralyzing, but age is just a number. Whether you're 30, 40, 50, or beyond, it's never too late to start something new and impactful. The world is full of examples of people who found success later in life, and you can be one of them.


    Often, we feel that we need permission to pursue our dreams. But stop waiting for external validation—the only permission you need is your own. Everything you need to start making a difference is already within you, and the time to act is now.


    Lastly, there's the fear that you won't convince people of your message. It's important to remember that your message isn't for everyone, and that's okay. Focus on those who need to hear your story and who will be moved by it. When you're passionate about what you're sharing, the right people will find you and be inspired by your journey.


    This episode is dedicated to helping you gain the confidence you need to live a life filled with passion, purpose, health, and wealth. If you’re ready to overcome the imposter syndrome once and for all, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss. Let’s leave those fears in the past where they belong and step into the greatness that 2024 and beyond have in store for us.

  • How to Conquer the Fears That Hold Us Back From Our Greatness
    Aug 6 2024

    In the fourth episode of the Upgrade series on Food Heals, we dive deep into the myths and fears that fuel imposter syndrome and keep us from achieving our full potential.


    Today, we're going to debunk five common fears that hold us back from our greatness, so we can overcome the imposter monster for good and leave our fears in the past.


    While we often focus on healing the physical body here on Food Heals, by talking about functional medicine, food, supplements, etc., we also need to address our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being to truly heal. That’s why I’m so passionate about overcoming imposter syndrome!


    One of the biggest fears is worrying about what others will think. It's just part of life that people will judge us, but how we respond is what matters. Instead of letting their opinions stop us, we need to focus on those who support and understand us. Remember, be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.


    Another fear is the fear of our own greatness. Marianne Williamson nailed it when she said our deepest fear isn't that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. We're meant to live in truth, love, and abundance, not to play small.


    We also fear being exposed as a fraud. It's about changing our mindset and embracing our authentic selves. When we're genuine and accept our imperfections, we connect more deeply with others and build a supportive community. It's impossible to be a fraud of oneself.


    Another common fear is thinking others are already doing what we want to do. Your unique perspectives and experiences make your contributions valuable. There's enough room for everyone to succeed, and adopting an abundance mindset can help you move forward with confidence.


    Lastly, there’s the fear that we’re not expert enough. But remember, if you’ve lived it, you’re an expert in it. Your life experiences and the knowledge you’ve gained from them are incredibly valuable. You don’t need a degree to validate your expertise.


    By facing these fears head-on, we can overcome imposter syndrome and achieve our dreams. So, let's leave those fears behind and step into our greatness together in the Upgrade Mastermind.


    UPGRADE is a High-level Mastermind for Purpose-Driven People, Creators, Influencers, Entrepreneurs, and Rebels who refuse to settle for the ordinary, are ready to live without limits, and want to upgrade their health and wealth together.


    This high-energy, year-long group coaching program combines everything I’ve learned and practiced over the past 18 years. It’s designed to help people achieve health and success in every area of their lives—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, financially, and physically.


    Imagine being part of a community where you can dream big, be deeply listened to, and be pushed out of your comfort zone. As Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”


    The Upgrade Mastermind provides the tools, resources, accountability, and community to help you achieve your dreams. If this resonates with you, I invite you to apply at www.foodhealsnation.com/apply.

Food Heals is my favorite podcast!

To say that Food Heals has helped me throughout my journey isn’t giving Allison enough credit. I’m not sure how I found her podcast but I’m so glad that I did! For the first time, I felt like someone understood what I want out of life and she’s helped me work on achieving that with her knowledge, humor, and all the tools from the tool box! I highly recommend listening, I can’t get enough!
