Hey friend,

In this episode, I try to help you understand how you need to evaluate the foods that you eat. Is there any difference in how your body responds to one kind of food vs another. This podcast is my effort to help you start your wellness journey. As we go along I will be addressing various chronic health issues in the hope that someone listening in would be able to find help.

If you are on a mission to lose weight, you must've been told at-least once during the whole journey, that you need to eat less. My question as I ponder my own wellness journey is ....lesser than what? In this podcast I review the difference between BMR and TDEE and also explain what happens as we continue to eat very low calories. This podcast is based on my own wellness journey and as a doctor, I needed to learn to do things differently. But, I did get results. And I want you to see the benefits of exploring your own path to wellness.
