One of Dr. Lisa’s superpowers is her ability to help people shift their mindset in order to lose weight. Here’s a sample from a Coaching Call (unscripted, of course), where Dr. Lisa walks one of the women in the Smart Weight Loss Coaching program through some mindset work, in order to reframe what she ate at a party.
