Are You Open to Change? with Brittany Kolb

Do you feel comfortable talking about your weight problems? How can you discuss weight sensitively and impart valuable knowledge without offending people?
Your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay the same. Are you open to change? Many times people try to change through actions only but ignore the impact that mindset plays in invoking long-term change.

Weight-related issues can make people extremely sensitive. Hence, talking about weight can be incredibly uncomfortable because you never know how various people will respond to it. Many people experience difficulties with how they weigh and often get anxious about how they can keep the weight off. Usually, it can lead to them trying various dieting plans, pills, and weight loss programs yet failing to obtain their desired results. Thus, weight gain is sometimes an indication of an underlying problem. It is crucial to figure out and address the issue's root cause and create a meaningful relationship with our food intake.

Brittany Kolb is a working mother, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, and Certified Life and Weight Loss Coach. She helps busy moms and women in advanced healthcare roles to lose weight for good. Brittany became a certified life and weight loss coach to help other women achieve permanent weight loss. She aims to give women the freedom to move on with their lives without the burden of their weight is an issue. Thus, she believes so deeply that permanent weight loss can be simple and is attainable for anyone who wants it.

In this special episode with Brittany Kolb, we'll learn about the journey of an empowered woman who has been in a pattern of restriction and deprivation to get her weight off.

But then she found life and weight loss coaching, which finally enabled her to have control over food and lose weight for good.​
