The Liz Moody Podcast

If you’ve ever felt like eating healthy is time consuming, energy consuming, and expensive, you’re going to love this episode. I’m joined by Jenn Lueke, author of the cookbook Don’t Think About Dinner, and we’re sharing our best hacks for making everything you eat healthier, easier, more affordable and more delicious. I use the science I’ve learned from interviewing hundreds of doctors on this podcast and Jenn uses her expertise in meal planning and budgeting.

We each count down our 5 best tips, including why leftovers might actually be better for your gut, how to make your food taste restaurant-level without more effort, the tiny shifts that can completely change your energy, digestion, and cravings, and how to actually meal prep in a realistic, practical way you’ll enjoy.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The surprising reason your "healthy" meals leave you hungry an hour later—and the simple formula to fix it

• A genius shopping hack that saves money and keeps you inspired in the kitchen

• Why chopping your vegetables 40 minutes before cooking unlocks hidden health benefits

• What to eat for breakfast to transform energy levels and mental clarity

• How to make one ingredient stretch across three completely different meals without getting bored

• The single storage upgrade that makes you 10x more likely to actually eat your meal prep

• A 10-minute freezer trick that eliminates the most annoying part of cooking dinner

• Why your pasta might be sabotaging your blood sugar (and the 30-second fix)

• How changing what you eat literally rewires your cravings in just a few weeks

We all have that one thing we're avoiding right now. Whether it's hitting the gym, starting that side hustle, or finally getting to bed at a reasonable hour—we keep putting it off even though we know it's exactly what we need to level up our lives. And trust me, I get it, Netflix and cozy blankets are calling my name too.

But here's the really exciting thing—I sat down with the absolutely brilliant Kati Morton (she's THE expert on making hard things easier, with a master's from Pepperdine University and an incredible way of breaking down complex psychology into doable steps). We dove deep into why our brains resist change so much and, more importantly, how to actually get ourselves to do those big, scary things that lead to massive transformation.

If you've ever felt stuck between knowing what you should do and actually doing it, this episode is going to be a game-changer. It's packed with those practical, science-backed strategies we love, but delivered in a way that feels like chatting with your smartest friend.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The shocking truth about comfort zones (and why "self-care" might actually be holding you back)

• Why waiting for motivation is literally the worst strategy - plus what actually works

• How perfectionism is sneakily sabotaging you (and what to do about it)

• The game-changing "overthinker to action-taker" framework

• My favorite cookie-based courage-building hack (yes, really)

• A 5-minute trick to completely transform your schedule

Two years ago, I made a vision board and put on everything I wanted to manifest for my dream life. I’d done enough research to know that manifestation isn’t BS—it’s actually backed by some incredibly impressive neuroscience. I was ready for that science to kick in, and for my life to dramatically change—and then—it didn’t. 

Because I’m a longtime journalist, I investigated why it didn’t work, and what I found SHOCKED me, so that’s what we’re getting into in this episode—the sneaky reasons manifestation might not be working the way you want it to, and exactly how to fix that so all of your greatest dreams and goals can come true. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The three key reasons your manifesting isn't working—and how to fix each one

• How to create an "action board" that's 60,000 times more effective than a vision board

• The nervous system regulation technique you must do before any manifestation practice

• How to use the "reverse gratitude" exercise to shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset

• The neuroscience behind why manifestation is proven to work (when done correctly)

I used to dread doing any type of workout. I remember thinking, maybe I’m just naturally more lazy. But it turns out, we’re all wired for it—I was just approaching it all wrong. Today’s episode is going to turn you into the type of person who gets excited to move. 

I’m thrilled to share this conversation with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a Stanford professor, bestselling author, and someone who has spent decades studying the psychology and neuroscience of movement. Her work was pivotal in changing my relationship with working out.

This episode isn’t about forcing yourself to work out harder. It’s about why we’ve been thinking about movement all wrong—and how to finally make it work with your brain instead of against it.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

Why motivation is the wrong entry point for movement 

What actually works to crave working out

The wild impact movement has on preserving our dopamine levels as they decline with age

How long it takes to enjoy working out

The step counts of people who were depressed versus the step counts of people who felt full of meaning and purpose

And so much more
