Post-Summer Reset and Our Body’s Response to a Healthier Lifestyle

Stronger U Coach, Dr. Julie Beegle is back on the podcast to chat about the post-summer reset as it applies to nutrition and fitness. With the close of summer, back to school, and fall right around the corner, many people want to shift their diets, goals, and their approaches to eating (us included!). But what happens to our bodies when we decide to make these changes following a period of relaxed behavior? And why is it so hard initially? During this episode of Stronger U Radio, Coach Julie brings her wisdom and expertise to an honest conversation with Stronger U RD and Manager of Nutrition Education, Gianna Masi about the challenges of transitioning to a healthier lifestyle and the strategies to help overcome them. 
This lighthearted and non-judgmental discussion covers: 

• Biological changes that occur when you transition to a healthier diet 
• Hyper-palatable (high fat, sugar and/or sodium) foods’ effect on the brain's perception of hunger and fullness 
• The underlying physiological and psychological mechanisms of cravings and hunger 
• Suggestions for managing cravings throughout the day 
• The psychological reset of the Fresh Start Effect and the research behind why you’re more likely to feel more motivated during certain times of the year.  
• The importance of building habits and structure to lean on when motivation wanes 
• And more! 

A must-listen to help you get into the right mindset and prepare for a lifestyle and nutrition transition this fall (or any time!) Tune in here for the full episode and then head to the Stronger U Community to share your takeaways.
