We all know someone with high blood pressure, and we don’t think twice about it. Despite being a silent killer, most of us have become desensitized to it. Many people brush off this diagnosis, blaming unhealthy eating habits or genetics.

In this episode, Lisa reinstates a sense of urgency around making healthy lifestyle choices. She explains why genetics informs our medical future, not dictates it. Lisa breaks down the overlooked causes of high blood pressure, like over-the-counter meds, stress, and diet.

Through science and her experience as a plant-based health coach, Lisa breaks down why a management mentality doesn't work for your health and how to improve your lifestyle, mindset, and decisions to become the best version of yourself.

It’s time to stop inviting disease into your future. Lisa has helped tons of people get off high blood pressure medication through better lifestyle choices. Tune in to learn what you can do to take back control of your health.

Does your effort, meaning the time, energy, and work you are putting into your goals, match the results? If the answer is no, you have an addiction to working.

You might not think of this as a problem. After all, it is better than the opposite, like never finishing a project or struggling to start. We live in a culture that praises hard work and accomplishment. But overwork leads to burnout, and burnout leads to chronic stress.

In this episode, Lisa discusses the addiction to overworking, unbridled ambition, and chronic stress. She shares the beliefs she was holding on to that kept her stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and burnout.

Lisa explains what you can do to combat the new, dangerous, and prevalent lifestyle disease: work addiction. She explains not just how to eliminate chronic stress from feeling like you are never doing enough, but also how to make sure you don’t return to the mindset of doing too much.

If you are constantly pushing yourself to hit goals and be successful, but feel like your ambition is getting in the way of your health and peace, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the five things that compel you to overwork and over-commitment, and how to balance your drive with your health.

In this episode, Lisa explains the risks of carrying around excess weight and why being overweight is a preexisting condition. She shares her journey of losing over 60 pounds and why the eat less, burn more mindset isn't effective or safe.

To hit your goals, you need endurance. That starts with your health.

Lisa talks about what changes when you shift your goal from vanity (losing weight) to health (extending life). She shares her proven method to lose weight and keep it off without counting calories or starvation.

This episode is for you if:

• You've been eating "better", but not seeing results.
• You are moving more, but still can't get rid of those extra pounds.
• You think being overweight is okay because you aren't on prescription medications or haven't been diagnosed with another condition.

Being overweight is a precursor to lifestyle diseases. Does food have more control over you than you have over it? It is time to take control. Tune in to learn how to move the scale in 30 days while improving your health overall.

Does starting something new excite you? Do you dive right into a new goal, and obsessed with seeing results? If so, you are a starter.

Being a starter is a blessing because it means that you don’t hesitate to take the first step. But there is a difference between an immature and a mature starter. Immature starters use a lot of energy up front because they are only interested in the reward. Along the way, that motivation fizzles out, leaving you disappointed, frustrated, and even ready to quit.

In today’s episode, Lisa shares her experience as an immature starter. She used to be obsessed with the destination, robbing herself of peace and contentment for years.

Now, Lisa is still a starter, but she is a mature starter. She removed two words from her vocabulary, significantly changing her relationship with her goals. She has no problem launching into something new, but she has taught herself to appreciate the journey and focus on mastery instead of speed.

If you are a starter looking to learn how to control your pace, ensuring you have energy and motivation from the first step through to the finish line, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the two words you need to remove from your vocabulary to find peace and contentment while working toward your goals.
