Did you know that small changes in behavior and belief systems can transform your health for good? But where do you start? In today's episode, I'm joined by the incredible Carrie Lupoli, a certified nutritionist, health coach, and behavioral specialist. We explore three powerful factors affecting our health: Blood Sugar, Behaviors, and Beliefs. These three "BS's" are often overlooked, yet addressing them can transform your health, strengthen your bones, and boost overall wellness. Carrie shares simple, practical steps to overcome these blocks and explains how they're crucial not only for our physical health but also for our mental and emotional well-being. Carrie's passion for health is contagious, and her approach empowers you to take control of your health from the inside out. Whether you're dealing with bone health challenges or just looking to optimize your health, Carrie's insights will empower you to make real, sustainable changes. "We have to stop the scroll, stop trying to find the quick fix or the next big thing, and recognize the BS that's out there is not helping us. It's just noise, and it confuses us more. The BS that really matters is understanding blood sugar, getting a hold of your belief systems, and recognizing that behavioral science is the key to you actually doing, changing, and understanding yourself for the long term." ~ Carrie Lupoli In this episode: - [00:00] - Introduction to Carrie Lupoli and her work - [04:51] - How blood sugar imbalances affect bone health - [07:36] - The effects of unbalanced blood sugar on your overall health - [10:48] - Carrie's PFC3 formula to balance blood sugar - [17:30] - Tips for testing insulin sensitivity and maintaining healthy levels - [26:50] - How behavioral science creates sustainable health changes - [29:04] - Simple steps to control blood sugar and boost health - [36:00] - The SNAP formula to overcome disempowering belief systems - [43:02] - Carrie's advice for long-term health transformation Resources mentioned - Carrie's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/carrie_lupoli/ - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - tinyurl.com/osteoporosisexercises More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.
