Improving your health can be quite overwhelming: there are so many things to change, and always another level to reach. In this lecture you will learn the five shifts that will make a huge difference in your health... and they’re not what you would think!

In this lecture you will learn how to: 

• Help your body function at optimal levels
• Focus on the shifts that yield the most benefit
• Separate wellness trends from science-backed advice 

"I've heard a lot of 'healthy tips' but never have I found some that were so realistic and attainable. I've been layering in these shifts over time and have seen a measurable improvement in my health. So happy I attended this!" - Carol

We eat for only two reasons: to satisfy physical hunger or to shift our emotions. Bringing awareness to our relationship with food, meaning how and when we use it, is the foundation for permanent change in your physical health. This rarely talked about practice is the key to the end of dieting. 

In this lecture you will learn how to: 

• Enjoy your food more and eat less naturally
• Lose weight without focusing on diet rules
• Heal your relationship with food
• Deepen your spiritual practice regarding your eating behaviors

"Mind blowing. So many things from this course are proving to be so true. And it’s little changes that are adding up to big changes. When I feel good and comfortable with a few, and start seeing results, I find myself picking up the pace and doing more for myself. Awesome." - Carey, Conscious Eating Graduate

Behavior modification is everywhere (“eat this, don’t eat that”) but it is hard to find the answer to why we “know better” but don’t “do better.” In this lecture, you will learn the most important tools to shift your psychology and create an authentic desire to make consistently healthy choices. This shift in thinking creates the lifestyle change we so badly crave.

In this lecture you will learn how to: 

• Rewire the brain to desire doing the right things
• Stop repeating the same destructive behavior
• Create clarity on what you want and how to get there (and stay there)

"The awareness of my thoughts and behaviors plus the tools to make changes in the constant 'all or nothing' loop I was in has been invaluable.” - Amanda

Paleo, Vegan, Ketogenic… the list of diets seems never-ending. We know we need to be on some sort of organized food protocol, but it’s so hard to decide which diet is right for us. Diets are not necessarily a bad thing, but one person’s healing diet can be another person’s disaster.

We have become obsessed with learning what to eat, but we have never been taught how to understand our own unique medicine. 

In this lecture, you will learn:

• How to find your unique diet
• Why the one-size-fits-all approach is outdated
• Your body’s communication feedback
• How to pick the health protocol to fit your individual needs
• Why we need to stop counting calories and focus on far more important factors of eating

“I used to tell my parents when they complained about my [nutritional] pickiness that when buying fertilizer for the yard, they read the bag to know the ratio of this to that, because they want a 'healthy' yard... but they don't even read the ingredients on the box of the food product they themselves eat! It was a pleasure listening to you.” - Brian, employee at Livestrong

Compassion involves the recognition of the shared human condition. It’s not just the blameless victims who deserve this but also those suffering from failures, personal weaknesses, or bad decisions. Compassion is a connection to ourselves. Only through connection can we change our patterns. 

In this lecture you will learn: 

• How to accept yourself now so that you can create lasting change from a place of love
• How to control the mental narrative so that you can focus on what’s good and bring more of that into your life
• How to be gentle and understanding with yourself rather than harshly critical and judgmental

The word "spirituality" means something different to everyone. We are all searching for something to help us understand our place in this world. A spiritual practice helps us stay connected to our inner wisdom. It helps us practice patience, compassion, forgiveness, self respect and self love. The end goal of all goals is to feel happy and at peace. The tools you will receive in this lecture will start you on the path to disconnecting from the voice in your head and strengthening your inner voice of wisdom.

Stress is the word that overachievers use for "fear." It keeps us in the mind and out of our true essence. There are only three ways we create stress, which means there are only three ways we can get out of it. And no, learning to manage stress is not the answer. Learning how to break it down, get to the root, and eliminate it is the key to freedom from the mind. This is the key to happiness. 

In this lecture, you will learn:

• The three ways we allow the mind to create stress
• How to retrain the mind to welcome uncertainty
• Fail-proof tools for making calm your new default emotion

"The food you consume doesn't just affect your hips and thighs; it affects your mind, attitude, and emotions. After just a few weeks I didn't even care what the scale said or what I looked like in the mirror; all I knew was that I felt like a brand new person after making these changes and reducing my stress. I literally crave good food." - Meagan

Life can feel like a daily grind of managing chaos. Careers, family, and commitments tend to always come first with very little left over for us to recharge. We become burnt out, always tired, with a body that runs on stimulants and poor sleep. This leads to adrenal fatigue, hormonal issues, and that lack of joy and playfulness we once had. I will teach you to how incorporate self care into a busy schedule so you can live life with drive, energy and passion, while maintaining the playfulness and lightheartedness of your youth. 

"Carly delivered one of the most engaging, passionate, and inspirational lectures I've heard in a long time. Combine that with her witty humor and personal anecdotes and you have more than just a lecture, but a hilarious personal journey about becoming the best version of yourself through Nutritional Wisdom. I've now had the opportunity to work with Carly for the last few months on my own personal journey and can firmly say, 'I'm a believer!'" - Sally, employee at Facebook

We are a culture obsessed with fitness, but the number of mistruths floating around is enough to make us doubt whether or not we are working out “smart” or just hard. 

In this lecture you will learn: 

• The four biggest exercise mistakes even the fittest athletes do
• The three biggest exercise myths that need to be retired 
• How to maximize fat burning and achieve fitness goals without living in the gym
• How to tweak your nutrition so you are burning fat long after the workout

The “all or nothing” black and white mentality is the cause for so much of our temporary health and wellness attempts. If we can’t be perfect, then we might as well eat that pizza and start again on the first of next month. Most of us are fighting to maintain and keep a balance that seems just out of reach. 

In this lecture you will learn: 

• How to figure out whether you are in a sprint or a pause
• How to heal the “all or nothing” mentality and live in the grey area
• How to make commitments to yourself that actually stick
