Listen "Episode 19: The Cost of NOT Thinking Differently About Your Health"
Episode Synopsis
Hey friend — it’s Polly! 💛
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the endless noise of the health world — “eat carbs,” “don’t eat carbs,” “intermittent fast,” “never fast again,” “lift heavy,” “don’t lift heavy” — then this episode is going to feel like a big exhale. Because today, we’re talking about the real cost of NOT thinking differently about your health, and what happens when your brain, body, and nervous system get stuck in the chaos.
I break down why confusion is the new normal and how living inside a loud, contradicting health culture pushes your nervous system into survival mode. We explore why diet rules don’t work, how control leads to burnout, and why your “lack of discipline” is actually your biology trying to protect you.
We dig deep into the mental, emotional, physical, and nervous-system costs of chronic dieting — from metabolic confusion and hormonal imbalance to shame spirals, self-sabotage, and disconnecting from your body’s wisdom. And yes… we go there: the identity cost of believing you can’t trust yourself anymore.
This episode is packed with practical insight on:
✨ how to rewire your brain for consistency
✨ how to break the dopamine cycle of quick fixes
✨ how to recognize trauma patterns that sabotage change
✨ healing your relationship with your body
✨ moving from survival to connection
✨ reclaiming choice instead of control
Because the truth is: the biggest cost of NOT thinking differently is staying stuck in a system that was never designed to help you heal.
If you’re ready to build body trust, reconnect with your nervous system, and finally create a healthy lifestyle that feels peaceful and sustainable… this one is for you.
