High Metabolic Clinic

The right way to lose weight (spoiler alert: it's not dieting)

I’m no food photographer but here is a sample of what I ate this week: 1. All the leftovers salad with a generous amount of EVOO and sea salt 2. Halloumi cheese - because it’s just so good 3. Eggplant pizza with a side of sautéed cabbage 4. Bacon cheese(burger) chicken with broccoli and tofu... 5. Parmesan crusted chicken (baked) with Napa cabbage salad (dressing was plain yoghurt mixed with Dijon mustard) and brussel sprouts Working on even more veggies!!

Dr. High was recently invited to speak on the Connex Podcast on Obesity in Canada from an employer/benefits perspective. Check it out here!

Next time youre outside, I encourage you to try this Mindfulness Exercise. Take a moment to notice 5 things that youve never seen before. Can you hear 5 different sounds? What can you smell? Mindfulness is being present in the moment. It can help you appreciate the present and get out of your head (where we get easily caught up in worry thoughts!). I love playing this game with my kids - we always notice new bird noises and new discoveries in the forest. #mindfulnessexercise

Your attitude on Monday sets up your whole week. Have a fabulous Monday! #mondaymotivation

I dont know who needs to hear this today, but keep going.

How to foster self-compassion

Hi Everyone! This week Ill be talking about How to Foster Self-Compassion during our Wednesday Night Facebook Live. See you at 9pm tomorrow!

True humility is actually derailed by self-hatred and undermined by low self-esteem. This is because humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is just thinking of yourself less. Kris Vallotton

Dont let setbacks stop you. Keep going. Learn from your mistakes objectively, with curiosity and self-compassion. Youll build resilience, grow and become a better and stronger version of you. #growthmindset

Get out of your own way and dream big. #

Life is 50/50. Sometimes we feel positive emotions, sometimes we feel unpleasant emotions. Thats the normal human experience. Emotions are not the problem - its when we try to neutralize them, overcome them or buffer them - thats when we run into over-eating, over-drinking, over-Facebooking, over-gaming... whatever it is that you are overdoing, ask yourself if theres something that youre running from. Maybe its time to just let yourself experience the emotion without judgment or resistance. ... deep thoughts for your weekend! #mindfulnesscoaching

Why perfectionism doesnt serve you

Tonights LIVE topic will be "Why Perfectionism Doesnt Serve You". See you at 9pm!Tonights LIVE topic will be "Why Perfectionism Doesnt Serve You". See you at 9pm!

Failure is an important part of the road to success. Be willing to fail, get up and fail again. Its called resilience - and its the only way to grow #mindsetshift

Negativity and positivity use up the same amount of energy. The difference is that one will drain you and the other will fill you up. Choose wisely and happy Monday! #mondaymotivation

Too often we let our past hold us hostage - we ruminate, we regret, we judge ourselves for past actions. None of that yields anything positive. Instead decide who you want to be and then set that to action. Take tiny steps every day that lead in the direction of your best you. Think of ways today you can care for your future self. Have a great weekend, my friends xo #selfcarematters

Our happiness is not dependent upon our circumstances, but upon our thoughts. Choose happy. I borrowed this quote from my bestie @jenkordasz. #mindsetiseverything #happinessisachoice

Today is the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. A little bit of a different post but I want to share something else that Im truly passionate about... About a year ago, I started learning about child trafficking. The more I learned, the more my stomach turned and my heart broke. Everything in me just wanted to stop reading the stories, stop learning about whats happening in countries all around the world (including Canada!) - but I couldnt look away. I couldnt becau...se I knew that these are real children and these are real stories and these real experiences. So as much as I want to forget the horrific crimes that are happening to children, I cant ignore them because now I know. So I am compelled to join in the fight against child sex trafficking. I follow and support the work of two amazing organizations, check them out: International Justice Mission @ijm and Operation Underground Railroad @ourrrescue. #worlddayagainsttraffickinginpersons #modernslavery #EndTrafficking #UntilAllAreFree
