Liz Life Guru

I’m Liz Reed, a licensed psychotherapist, author, and chef. I have a long history of working in addiction and the mental health field. From addiction facilities to psychiatric units and private practice. I’m also in recovery from alcohol for the past 20 years. Liz Life Guru is a podcast designed to help people with mental health and addiction issues. This is an action-oriented show that helps the listener understand the dynamics of their issues. This is achieved through education, personal experience, and science-based evidence. Broken down in honest easy-to-understand language. I feel that there is a method to “the madness”, and that a good laugh can cure many ills. There is hope for everyone with the proper support and guidance. I will help you to create a journey through life that is your own, one that you enjoy, not one you have to white knuckle through. Life should be ever evolving and interesting. Don’t stay stuck. You’ll be able to relate to the many stories and descriptions of how mental illness, trauma, and addiction shape who we are. I’m here to make sense of the senseless. I’m a problem solver and a life changer. Join me for a unique look at what’s bugging you. Namaste

Calorie Deficit and Menopause

Wednesday Aug 09, 2023

Wednesday Aug 09, 2023

Are you aware of your caloric deficit that enables weight loss? A deficit of 500 calories a day times 7 days in a week equals 1 pound of weight loss. That doesn’t seem like much, but it adds up fast. In this podcast, we will investigate calorie deficit and how menopause influences it. A yogurt or a mini candy bar can be a few calories that cancel your deficit. We will look at your options and how the calories you consume matter, but it doesn’t have to be painful. Enjoy, your weight loss, and never call it a diet!

Hate and the Internet

Wednesday Jul 26, 2023

Wednesday Jul 26, 2023

The Internet is supposed to be a place of information gathering and support. We pay our bills online and we occasionally post about our lives. This open honesty should not invite a keyboard terrorist to verbally eviscerate you. Haters and cruel statements can be extremely challenging. We know that they probably wouldn’t say this to your face. How can humans talk to other strangers in this way? We will go over the hate and stress of this world that has led to this angry nation. Can’t we be nice? Please…..?

Body Dysmorphia and Rumination

Wednesday Jun 28, 2023

Wednesday Jun 28, 2023

Body Dysmorphia Disorder is the excessive focus on one’s appearance or a flaw the patient finds within themselves. This can be something small that others haven’t noticed or seen. To the person with BDD it’s all they can focus on. If body dysmorphia becomes overwhelming the person can become withdrawn and even suicidal. The patient will also carry a lot of anxiety and self esteem issues. BDD affects men and women almost equally. Over 2% of the population suffers from BDD. Today we will focus on the mindset that affects daily life and how to get help. CBT and retraining the mind to process one’s self positively are key. So, join us on another fantastic voyage into the mind!

Did you know 65% of Americans are estranged from their child and or family of origin? What if this has nothing to do with you? No trauma or dysfunction, just a child that has cut you out of their lives. This is a very hard place to be, it’s like a death without a funeral. Estrangement is very complicated and not an easy fix. Today we will explore how to understand your place in this dynamic and what you should and shouldn’t do to heal. I relay my own story of healing in my family.
