Ep. 501: The Missing Link to Holiday Weight Loss

You’re smart (high IQ) and emotionally aware (high EQ), so why do you still struggle with food during the holidays? The answer is your MQ—your Mindfulness Quotient—and raising it could be the difference between gaining weight this season and actually losing it.

The holidays are coming, and if you’re already thinking “here we go again,” this episode introduces a game-changing concept that separates emotional awareness from mindful awareness. I will explain why intelligence and emotional intelligence aren’t enough when it comes to food choices, and reveal the third quotient that determines whether you’ll walk away from holiday parties feeling proud or defeated.

Learn why “saving your appetite” backfires, how deprivation thoughts sabotage you, and the high-MQ approach that lets you enjoy the holidays without the weight gain. Enjoy the show!
