Gut health plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion to immune function and even mental health. The gut houses trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the microbiome, which work to break down food, absorb nutrients, and protect against pathogens. A healthy gut not only supports digestion but also impacts mood, energy levels, and the body’s ability to manage inflammation. Recent research shows that a diet rich in diverse plant-based foods is key to nurturing a balanced microbiome, which is why experts like Dr. Will Bulsiewicz advocate for eating “30 plants a week” to maximize gut health and diversity.

It views the body as an interconnected system where imbalances in one area can affect overall health.

Although often overlooked, flexibility and mobility play a crucial role in weight loss. Regular stretching and mobility exercises improve muscle function, and enhance overall fitness. But probably the most important component is that it reduces pain and the chance of injury.

Satisfying hunger is a fundamental human need crucial for survival and well-being. Hunger signals the body's need for nourishment, energy, and nutrients.

There are many commonalities between mental health and weight loss. In fact many of the lifestyle choices that we make create poor outcomes in both of these areas. Emotional factors, like stress, depression, and anxiety, often trigger unhealthy eating patterns, leading to weight gain. Conversely, excess weight can exacerbate mental health issues, perpetuating a cycle of negative emotions and overeating. Lifestyle choices, such as sleep, exercise, and nutrition, significantly impact both mental well-being and weight management. Recognizing and addressing these shared influences is key to achieving holistic health, emphasizing that mental and physical well-being are deeply intertwined.

Diet and exercise is aren’t the only shows in town when it comes to weight loss. Sleep plays a crucial role in weight loss due to its impact on various physiological processes. Sleep supports hormone regulation, specifically leptin and ghrelin, which control appetite and hunger. Inadequate sleep disrupts this balance, leading to increased hunger and food cravings, and reduced satiety. Moreover, during deep sleep, the body undergoes essential metabolic and restorative processes that aid weight loss.
So to help us prioritize sleep so that we can get all these amazing benefits, we invited Dr. Angela Holliday-Bell to the show. Dr. Holliday-Bell is the author of Sleeping on the Job, and she helps corporate employees develop wellness strategies to maximize performance and decrease burnout through better sleep.
All the dieting in the world may not help you. In other words, there's more to wellness than a healthy diet. The word wellness is most often used to describe an aspirational state of physical health, attained by attention to diet and lifestyle. This episode expands on this and emphasizes the impact of integrating authentic connection with family, friends, colleagues, spirit, and the natural world.
To share these often overlooked pillars, we invited Dr. Alona Pulde and Dr. Matthew Lederman to the show. They both have spent decades treating chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and obesity with their diet and lifestyle medical practices. With Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey, they coauthored The Whole Foods Diet and The Whole Foods Cookbook. They also authored the NY Times best seller The Forks Over Knives Plan, Forks Over Knives Family, and Keep It Simple, Keep It Whole.
Are you finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle as you enter your 40s? Don't worry, you're not alone. This is a truly challenging time highlighted by slower metabolism, hormonal changes, and just a busier lifestyle. But there's a way to combat these challenges head on and create a lifestyle that promotes health as we age.
To discuss his signature approach on how to accomplish this, we invited Dr. Anthony Balduzzi to the show.

Dr. Balduzzi is a renowned health expert dedicated to helping men and women over 40 optimize their health with the overarching goal of building and maintaining both a fit body and a fit mind for longevity.
The truth hurts, and blood sugar levels don't lie. Blood sugar levels provide vital insights into our health, making them an indispensable metric. Their accuracy stems from their ability to reveal the body's true metabolic state. By monitoring and maintaining optimal blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and lifestyle, individuals can mitigate health complications and promote overall well-being.
To dive deeper into this topic, we invited Dr. Ben Galyardt to the show. Dr. Ben is the Founder and CEO of F8 Well Centers, and The Galyardt Method. He is also a world recognized speaker in Neurofeedback and Brain Regeneration. After successfully treating thousands of patients in his Colorado office he decided to bring his Galyardt Method to other parts of the country by opening satellite offices. He now leads and teaches his Galyardt Method to all of our new doctors across the country while also working one on with patients.
The role of dietary fats has undergone a transformative evolution. Formerly demonized, fats are now recognized for their essentiality in optimal health. So to be on the forefront of the scientific research that has unveiled the benefits of healthy fats, such as improved brain function, heart health, and hormonal balance, was an amazing journey lived out by one of the true pioneers in the health space, Udo Erasmus.
Udo joins the show to talk about his extensive journey as a health advocate. Udo is the founder of Udo's Choice, a supplement company that is recognized as a global leader in health products. He is the author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill and invented the machinery for extracting oils, made famous through his using the process to make flax seed oil.
Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been gaining attention as a powerful antioxidant and therapeutic agent in the health space. Study after study credit molecular hydrogen due to its ability to selectively neutralize damaging free radicals in the body. H2 has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, supports the body's natural detoxification processes, and protects against oxidative stress. Studies have also suggested that drinking hydrogen-rich water or inhaling hydrogen gas may improved cognitive function, and enhanced athletic performance.
To dive into the many compelling facts about molecular hydrogen, we invited Craig Smith to the show. Craig is the GM of Holy Hydrogen and a seasoned corporate executive with over 21 years of success in alternative health product sales and marketing. He shares how he has personally benefitted from the wonders of molecular hydrogen and how he sees the future of this powerful substance.
A diagnosis of diabetes isn’t just a diagnosis of diabetes. It is important to know the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. They are two distinct conditions that require different approaches to management and treatment. And while blood sugar and insulin are key players in both, knowing the difference between the two types of diabetes can help people understand their own risk factors and take steps to prevent or manage the condition.
To help us navigate these differences, we invited Melissa Slemp to the show. Melissa is known as the Blood Sugar Boss and is the founder of Abundant Health with Melissa. She is a health coach and has been living with type 1 diabetes for 40 years. She noticed changes in her hormones and insulin needs once she hit menopause and set out to make it her mission to help women manage their own diabetes.
Procrastination around dieting is a common issue that many people face. Whether it's putting off meal planning or postponing starting a new diet, the temptation to delay can be overwhelming. However, this behavior can be detrimental to achieving any of our weight loss goals. It's important to recognize the underlying reasons for this and take steps to overcome it.
To talk about this, we invited Sonia Jhas to the show. Sonia is the author of I’ll Start Again Tomorrow (And Other Lies I’ve Told Myself) and a TEDxspeaker. She shares how she gave up her skyrocketing corporate career and pursued her deep passion for wellness and followed her driving desire to help others.
Toxins can play a significant role in weight gain and weight loss. Our bodies are bombarded by toxins from a variety of sources, including food, the air we breathe, and the products we use. These toxins can accumulate in our bodies over time and can disrupt our hormonal balance, metabolism, and immune system, which can lead to weight gain. However, by reducing our exposure to toxins and supporting our body's natural detoxification processes, we can improve our overall health and promote weight loss.
To show us some simple and practical lifestyle changes, we invited Dr. Wendie Trubow back to the show. Dr. Wendie is the co-author of Dirty Girl: Ditch the Toxins, Look Great, and Feel Freaking Amazing. She joins the show to share how she overcame her own struggles with mold and metal toxicity, Celiac disease, and her other health issues all brought on by toxin overload.
Autoimmunity and our weight are linked in several ways. Autoimmune disorders are conditions in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, causing inflammation and damage. Many autoimmune disorders are associated with weight, and in order to resolve them both, we need to get to the root cause of the autoimmunity. To break down all the ways in which autoimmunity and weight loss are linked, we invited Dr. Krista Coombs to the show. Dr. Coombs joins the show to share how she has integrated her two decades of experience with Eastern science philosophies and the cutting edge concepts and practices of Functional medicine to help her clients reset their metabolism with foundational approaches which also heals significant chronic conditions.
In the world we live in that's dominated by diet culture, it often feels like we can't operate without some form of restriction when it comes to what we eat. So when the concept of intuitive eating comes up, many of us just don't feel comfortable trusting our natural instincts and listen to the hints our body suggests. Intuitive eating also doesn't mean that we can eat whatever, whenever and however much we want mindlessly.
To help us navigate this artform, we invited Kim Hynes to the show. Kim is a health coach who specializes in coaching busy women over 40 who desire to give themselves permission to eat, lose weight intuitively, and reduce stress. She accomplishes this by helping her clients identify natural hunger and fullness signals, as well as their own preferences and cravings while ditching restrictive dieting rules.
We all are familiar with prescription drugs and supplements. However, Medical Foods are a unique category of FDA regulated products that meet the distinctive nutritional requirements or metabolic deficiencies of a particular disease state. Medical Foods have shown to support life or maintain homeostasis by adjusting the nutritional needs of the particular medical condition, obesity being one of the conditions that Medical Foods can address.
To dive into this new topic and how it assists in weight loss, we invited Dr. Lawrence May to the show. Dr. May earned his M.D. from Harvard Medical School and has practiced primary care internal medicine integrating nutrition and lifestyle into the care of patients. Dr. May previously served as Chairman of the Medical Advisory Board and Executive Vice President for Medical and Scientific affairs at Herbalife International.
Sometimes what we see in the mirror isn’t a true reflection of what’s going on. Our perception of our bodies can be very deceptive. If we struggle with a poor body image, we can experience a cascade of issues that can lead to eating disorders, exercise addiction, and other destructive behaviors that are unhealthy.
We invited Kelly Gifford to the show to discuss this issue. Kelly joins the show to share her tips on how to heal a poor body image and how to cultivate real confidence. She is the owner of Kelevate, a podcast host, and is a personal fitness trainer and nutritionist. She dives into how her body image struggles were the result of a ton of conditioning, internalized fat-phobia, diet culture and the suppression of a lifetime of pain, shame and insecurity.
Wouldn't it be nice to finally have that magic pill in the weight loss world? We can't say we have discovered it in Omega-3's yet, but the overall health benefits that it possesses are so vast that there is a huge argument to get it in your supplementation routine. And as our philosophy holds strong that weight loss is a byproduct of health, Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to a healthy weight especially since Omega-3's reduce inflammation and improves insulin sensitivity.
To break down the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, we invited Dr. WIlliam Harris to the show. Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and obtained his Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism at the Oregon Health Sciences University. Dr. Harris is a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota and the President and CEO of OmegaQuant.
A plant based diet is another tool worth looking into if you are trying to shed pounds while embracing a healthy and ethical lifestyle. But, just like any other diet, there's a proper way to go about embarking on a plant based journey besides just cutting out the meat. There is a methodology to this approach and a science behind why plant based diets are getting weight loss results.
To dive into the science behind the relationship between veganism and weight loss, we invited Nafsika Antypas to the show. Nafsika Antypas is the writer, host, and executive producer of the television series, Plant-Based by Nafsika, as well as the owner of international vegan food brand, Nafsika's Garden. She joins the show to share her journey how she turned to veganism and her mission to make the transition easy while not breaking the bank.
One of the most common complaints that poeple make on their weight loss journey is that there’s just too much noise when it comes to weight loss advice. By noise we mean all the talk of the various fad diets and trends that seem to always contradict one another. It is easily understandable how a person can easily be frustrated by this and get a feeling of hopelessness and quit before they start. So what if we had a blueprint that helps ditch the fad diets and helps to lose weight sustainably without any more quick fixes?
Andres Ayesta has that exact blueprint. Andres is a Registered Dietitian, CSSD, Weight Loss Expert for women, the host of The Nutrition Blueprint Podcast, and founder of Planos Nutrition. He helps highly driven women, female entrepreneurs, and executives by providing personalized, evidence-based nutrition blueprints to become the most confident version of themselves.
Functional Medicine is making its presence known in the health and wellness arena big time. With the current health landscape, people are truly looking for a better way to deal with their health crisises that are outside of the current model. This is really showing up when it comes to weight management. Given the explosion of the obesity epidemic and the current solutions that the medical establishment is providing, it clearly isn’t working.
To discuss how this approach is benefitting individuals get to their weight loss goals, we invited Dr. Jessica Hehmeyer to the show. Dr. Hehmeyer is the founder of Well Empowered which was created to provide answers and guidance that allows the creation of health and vitality foundationally through taking a data-driven, Functional Medicine approach. She began this journey in 2004 when she drew a line in the sand and stepped off the "weight loss roller coaster" forever.
As we kick off the new year, we felt that it would be great to start with the hottest health topic going on right now: Intermittent Fasting. Especially now, right after a holiday season of excess, people are trying to right the ship and one of the best strategies out there would be to incorporate intermittent fasting.
To show us the proper way to approach this lifestyle, we invited Cynthia Thurlow to the show. Cynthia is a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting and nutrition expert, and a two-time TEDx speaker. She is passionate about helping women find wellness through the healing power of nutrition and fasting.
Did you know that within three years of starting a diet, only 5% of dieters have actually maintained their weight loss? Knowing what we know about dieting and diet culture, that number isn't that shocking. The industry itself does not foster the abillity for people to make sustainable and long lasting changes. Trust me, they don't call it yo-yo dieting for nothing.
To help us become one of those in elite company, we invited Paul Salter to the show. Paul is the author of The Maintain My Weight Loss After a Diet Blueprint and has coached over 1,500 women lose over 20+ pounds and KEEP IT OFF without feeling like they're dieting. He does this by taking an inside-out approach that focuses on cultivating feelings of self-love and self-worth from day one, not after the weight is lost.
Whenever you are trying to lose weight, it's typical to hear a number of restrictions that we would have to put into place to do so. These restrictions are also the main reason why so many people have such a difficult time enjoying sustainable weight loss and are trapped in a vicious cycle of dieting. Does this have to be this way?
Rachel Freiman does not believe so. Rachel is the CEO of MindStrong Fitness, lover of donuts, and the the author of the bestselling book Becoming MindStrong: The Truth About Health, Fitness, and the Bullsht That’s Holding You Back*. She has more than fifteen years of classroom instruction, and certifications in personal training, sports nutrition, and behavior modification.

Have you been on a strict diet and you just aren't losing any weight? Are you eating all the "right" foods and you don't see any movement on the scale? Are those same foods also not sitting right with you and you don't feel well overall? If so, maybe you can benefit from a low Oxalate Diet.
To break down how oxalates affect you, we invited Monique Attinger to the show. Monique is known as the Low Ox Coach and is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist who focuses on dietary oxalate reduction and complex therapeutic diets. She joins the show to share how a low oxalate diet is more than just a diet for those with kidney stones. It has shown to have amazing benefits for those who suffer from chronic and inflammatory conditions, including arthritis, autism, digestive issues, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, COPD, asthma, interstitial cystitis, and thyroid issues.
Metabolic health is the key to living a healthy lifestyle and to maintaining a healthy weight. If our metabolic health is out of sorts, it creates a cascade of health issues that are very difficult to reverse unless we get to the root of the dysfunction. Through testing and lifestyle changes, we are able to reverse many of these issues and allow for healing opportunities throughout the body.
To discuss the concept of metabolic chaos and what we can do about it, we invited Reed Davis to the show. Reed is the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) and shares how testing for key underlying markers can establish the protocols required to treat the true issues at the core of our ailments.
There’s a lot of truth in the idea that we can’t get away with a lot of things in our health in our later years opposed to when we were in our 20’s. Things surely change and it is quite common that many of us fall off physically as we age. And while the slowing down of our bodies does happen, it isn’t the main cause of the overall decline.
To discuss why this tends to happen and to provide solutions, we invited Bill Vogel to the show. Bill is a Certified Health and Longevity Coach who specifically works with men and women over the age of 50. His passion is to assist this demographic as they have been known to be one of the most metabolically challenged group and show how to turn that around by emphasizing eating real whole foods, movement, eating windows, supplements, sleep management, hydration and breathing.
Our results are based on formulas that we implement every day. We can look at any aspect of our lives and see that our actions are the reasons we are in the predicaments we currently are in, good or bad. So what if there was an equation to identify how our mind can drive our actions in order to get the health results we really want? To discuss this concept and to introduce us to the concept of Mind Math, we invited Tracy Pleschourt to the show. Tracy is the Founder of Self-Made U and the Host of Secrets of the Self-Made Podcast. She helps men and women create Self-Made wealth and wellness through life coaching. Tracy has mastered and now teaches the critical skills necessary to manage your mind and overcome any obstacle, including overeating, over drinking, time management, career & relationship changes.
Is there a magic number of pounds to lose that can keep weight off forever? James Keck believes so! He makes a compelling argument that if you are able to lose 20 pounds, the exact same principles apply in order to lose 30, 40, or 100 pounds! Once that formula is realized on an individual basis, the amount of weight you can lose is limitless.
James is the author of Lose 20 Pounds, Keep it off Forever and the owner of Kuma Health and Wellness in La Grange, IL. His goal is to provide everyone with the tools necessary to lose weight and keep it off in a natural way.
Diet culture is a real thing. If you were to take a poll, the vast majority of people are currently on some form of a diet. And while this seems like a normal thing nowadays, it wasn't always that way. In fact, we intuitively know exactly what we need to eat. This knowing unfortunately, has been hijacked.
To help us get this ability back on track, we invited Victoria Yates to the show. Victoria is a registered Nurse and Intuitive Eating Counselor who is passionate about helping high-achieving women eat healthy without dieting.
How many times have you heard that a person is too busy to get fit? It is a common excuse many people make. Busy people have two fundamental problems when it comes to staying in shape. They don’t have a lot of time, and they need to have information that can be turned into actionable results. Without these, they won’t be able to make the changes that actually work. Unfortunately, these people end up sacrificing their health and fitness and eventually suffer in all areas of their lives.
To share how he overcame this cycle, we invited Martin Sharp to the show. Martin has personally worked through this problem and identified six pillars that those trapped in a busy lifestyle need to apply to enact lasting change. Martin is a multi-award winning international consultant and author who specializes in helping high achieving consultants, business owners, and entrepreneurs obtain their optimal fitness and lifestyle.
One of the most essential and overlooked minerals around is magnesium. Magnesium is a critical player in hundreds of bodily functions, so it comes as no surprise that it plays a role in weight loss. Unfortunately, for a majority of us, we are grossly deficient due to the fact that magnesium isn't as readily available in our food supply as it once was.
So to get us up to speed on this topic, we invited Kristen Bowen to the show. Kristen is the founder of Living The Good Life Naturally and shares how a complete health crash lead her to look for outside-the-box solutions to regain her health and eventually stumbled upon magnesium.
Over the last fifty years, the medical establishment has supported the same rules for losing weight and staying healthy. Yet in that same time, obesity has skyrocketed. So it is only natural that after repeated failure, it's time to seek out an alternative approach to handle this epidemic.
To make the case that Keto should be considered a solution, we invited Gary Taubes to the show. Gary is one of the original pioneers in the low carb movement and is the author of many books, including his latest: The Case For Keto.
Losing weight is one thing. Keeping it off is a totally different ballgame. Sustainable weight loss is something that comes with creating lasting habits that promote healthy living that are easy to incorporate. So how can we create a template that we can fall back to that consistently keeps us in the shape that we want to be?
To get to the bottom of this, we invited Angelica Ventrice to the show. Angelica is the founder of Fit for Life, and is a Health Coach who helps high-performance women lose weight and keep it off without resorting to restrictive diets and endless hours of cardio.
When most people begin their weight loss journey, diet and exercise are the two main changes that people focus on improving to get the results they desire. However, stress is one of the most overlooked factors in the weight loss equation. Not only does stress cause a cascade of hormonal deterrents to weight loss, it also makes you make bad decisions when it comes to food choices.
To help us navigate this cycle of stress, we invited April Likins to the show. April is a nationally board-certified health and wellness coach trained at both Duke Integrative Medicine and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Driven by her own health struggles of battling Lyme Disease and Endometriosis, she’s extremely passionate about helping empower women to optimize their health by reducing their stress levels, and finding balance in order to start nourishing their bodies from the inside out.
Humans Growth Hormone (HGH) has been a misunderstood hormone for a long time. It also had a bad reputation for athletes abusing it for performance enhancement. However there's more to HGH than meets the eye, especially when it comes to weight loss.
To discuss HGH's role and its weight loss benefits, we invited Dustin Baker to the show. Dustin is the President of BioProtein Technology and creator of BioPro+. With years of experience working intimately wth some of the world's most elite professional athletes, trusted physicians, and even international private security / military personnel his passion is to help individuals maximize their physiological and cognitive potential safely.
Boot camps are back! After a long layoff with gym closures and many of the boot camp style classes were halted, people are flocking back in droves. Why? People are remembering exactly why this style of training was so beneficial in tackling our health goals.
To speak on this trend and to also refresh our memory, we invited Bryce Henson to the show. Bryce is the CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp,the world’s fastest-growing fitness boot camp franchise.

Bryce’s passion is spreading fitness to the world and he is committed to inspiring and educating audiences on how to improve their lives by improving their fitness.
One of the main concerns that people new to ketogenic diets is cholesterol. For over 60 years, we have been told that cholesterol was the main cause of heart disease and people interested in the benefits of a keto diet can't ignore the elephant in the room while trying to justify eating a diet based on larger amounts of fat. These seemingly opposite positions create a lot of confusion understandably. What's also fascinating is the fact that not everyone who starts ketogenic diet has the same results when it comes to cholesterol.
To discuss this complicated issue and their groundbreaking research, we invited Dave Feldman and Nick Norwitz to the show. Dave is the founder of The Cholesterol Code and he teamed up with Nick to create The Lipid Energy Model (LEM) which examines the phenomenon of rising cholesterol levels for those on low carbohydrate diets and how this may provide powerful insights into lipid metabolism overall.
Do you feel like you have the same energy levels that you had when you were younger? If you are like most of us, the answer is clearly no. Sure, as we age, many things change. However, more and more evidence is revealing that many of the unwanted changes can be significantly reduced with a proper diet and key lifestyle adjustments.
To dive into this topic, we invited Ari Whitten to the show. Ari is the author of Eat For Energy , and has spent years digging into the science to build out the new science of human energy optimization. Through his research, he feels like he has uncovered the best nutritional wisdom to produce youthful levels of energy through the food we eat.
Eastern cultures were long known for living a cleaner, and healthier life. This was partially due to traditional diets and lifestyle that stayed away from many of the western diets and lifestyles. But because of globalization, this is no longer the case and there's a rapid decline in health in these areas as the western influence becomes more prevalent. This allows us to actually observe what we need to avoid and get back to balance.
To share how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can do wonders for our health and our weight, we invited Andy Chan to the show. Andy is the author of Dynamic Balance, and joins the show to discuss how he was influenced by his 10-year stay in the United States and how it shaped his unique outlook on health and athletic performance.
With 100's of supplements to choose from, Vitamin E has gone under the radar for some time. But Vitamin E is officially back! This powerful vitamin and its components, tocotrienol, and geranylgeraniol play a huge role in creating a longer, healthier life, along with having weight loss benefits.
To discuss the many health benefits of this powerhouse vitamin, we invited Dr. Barrie Tan to the show. Dr. Tan is hailed as a trailblazer and the world’s foremost expert on Vitamin E. He was the first to introduce tocotrienols benefits to the nutrition industry and developed the first-ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product derived from the annatto plant.
Most people are familiar with the aloe plant and its tremendous medicinal properties. For decades, aloe vera has developed a consistent reputation for wound healing and skin care. But did you hear about aloe's cousin aloe arborescens? Aloe arborescens which is scientifically proven to contain 200% more healthful and naturally occurring medicinal compounds than aloe vera. To dive into the many medicinal properties, we invited Tom Waid to the show. Tom is the President and CEO of Deca Aloe Arborescens. He is a lifelong advocate of health, fitness and an anti-aging lifestyle. In his research he found a rare phyto-therapeutic Brazilian recipe for boosting the body’s own innate immune system and gentle whole-body detoxification, stumbling upon the power of Aloe arborescens.
Losing weight is one thing. Keeping it off is a whole different ball game. Unfortunately, many people who have been able to lose significant amount of weight end up right where they started. This phenomena can be explained by a number of factors and each and every one of those factors need to be addressed on the journey.
To help us figure out how to get on the other side of weight loss without rebounding back to where we started, we invited Michael Krug to the show. Michael is a personal trainer and health coach who knows exactly what it takes to lose weight and maintain your transformed physique. Michael went from 375 pounds to 225 pounds and has kept the weight off for nearly a decade.
We’ve all heard by now that sitting is the new smoking. Excess sitting has been linked to a host of health issues that currently plague modern society. So it comes as no surprise that obesity is linked to sitting as well. Our modern lifestyle has unfortunately created an environment that is more sedentary in comparison to the not so distant past. So what can we do to reduce this risk?
To give us actionable tips, we invited Matt Pearle to the show. Matt is the author of Athlete in the Game of Life, and he shares how detrimental sitting is and how we can get more movement in our daily life.
Our modern lifestyle has gotten us in a world of health troubles. The world we live in now is far from the path humanity once walked upon. So when it comes to weight loss, it isn't a shock to learn that a few lifestyle adjustments can get us to our weight loss goals.
To dive deep into this concept, we invited Dr. Chris Mason to the show. Dr. Mason is the founder of Old Mission Lifestyle Medicine. This practice is a new kind of health, wellness and longevity medical practice specializing in women's and men's health focused on evidence-based lifestyle adjustments, specifically harnessing the power of a healthy diet, daily exercise, restorative sleep, and mindfulness.
Most of us realize the important role blood sugar plays in weight management. Those of us who realize this fact also make diet choices specifically to avoid creating excess glucose in our blood. And while the usual culprits like sugar and carbs are identified as problematic, the degree in which they affect each one of us varies. But what if we knew exactly how each type of food actually affects us? Would we be able to customize a diet that optimizes weight loss?
Carlee Hayes says YES! Carlee is a registered dietitian nutritionist and the lead dietician at NutriSense, a metabolic health company that utilizes CGM technology to provide real-time data to clients in order to customize diet plans to maximize our health and weight.
You thought dieting and exercising was hard? Wait until you have to worry about dealing with toxins in a completely toxic world! Now before we completely throw our hands up at this seemingly daunting challenge, there are strategies to lessen the toxic burden that we can incorporate into our daily lives.
To help us navigate the toxin dilemma, we invited Dr. Wendie Trubow to the show. Dr. Trubow is the author of, Dirty Girl: Ditch the Toxins, Look Great, and Feel Freaking Amazing!It's an easy to understand field guide designed to help readers eliminate the invasive toxins responsible for the chronic conditions they live with.
What if the fountain of youth wasn't really a fountain? What if it was just a series of diet and lifestyle changes that everyone could put into place in order to reduce our biological age? The impact on our overall health could be amazing and potentially assist in preventing many of the illnesses that plague our time.
Dr. Kara Fitgerald joins the show to discuss her groundbreaking research on reducing our biological age. Dr. Fitgerald is the author of Younger You, which outlines her study showing how the participants were able to reverse 3 years off of their biological age in just 8 weeks.
We always thought that when it comes to substances that wreak havoc on out health, sugar was king. The reduction of sugar is usually prescribed as the first step to correcting metabolic health, and for good reason. But what if there's another, equally pervasive substance that we should be looking out for that might be even worse?
Dr. Cate Shanahan joins the show to shed light on PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids. These seed oils are often touted as heart healthy, and are completely the opposite and not healthy at all. And just like sugar, it's often hidden in plain sight and basically in everything!
Dr. Cate is the leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism. A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author of The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition and Food Rules.
Spermidine has hit the map for being recognized as having incredible anti-aging properties. As we age, our goal should not be to strictly live longer, but to have those golden years be vibrant, and disease free. So as our show consistently demonstrates, weight management is a byproduct of health, and spermidine plays an important role in healthy longevity.
To break down the benefits of spermidine, we invited Don Moxley to the show. Don is the Director of Applied Science and Brand Development at Longevity Labs Inc. in the United States. He's dedicated to helping people live vibrant, fulfilling lives at all ages. He draws upon his career as an athlete, a sports scientist, and an instructor to lead and educate on the science of autophagy and longevity.
With the rollout of 5G, EMF (Electromagnetic Fields) are becoming a topic of heavy debate in the health space. Concerns about the constant exposures to EMF through our consistent cell phone use and being surrounded by WiFi constantly has led many to question how healthy is it to be bombarded by these unnatural, man-made signals. And since weight loss is a byproduct of health, it is natural to assume that EMF has consequences on the scale.
To break down this topic and to give us some strategies on how to mitigate our exposure to EMF, we invited Justin Frandson to the show. Justin is an Athleticism Performance Coach that has
worked with amateur and professional athletes for over the
past two decades. He saw his athlete breaking down from the
excessive levels of EMF from their SMART watches, wireless
earbuds, and electric cars. He now sells the Grounding and Faraday Bags to lower the level of EMF by using the healing pulse of the earth to repel EMF.
Just like in everything in life, if you don't use it, you lose it. So it is common for many of us that as we age, we let life get in the way and we begin to slow down and not prioritize our health and wellness. This is especially true in the fitness world. But what if we keep up the intensity and stay the course as we grow in years? Would we still naturally decline? Jean Titus is proof that the we can get better with age. Titus is a sought-after wellness expert, coach, and motivational speaker who shows that age is just a number and we can look as good in our 50's as we did in our 20's.
Is it possible to get the results of fasting, but still be able to eat? Fasting has been proven to have a wide range of health benefits that include weight loss, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. But, for some, not eating for extended periods of time is difficult.
To present this life hack that allows us to eat and stay in a fasted state, we invited Dr. William Hsu to the show. Dr. Hsu joined L-Nutra in 2019 as Chief Medical Officer where he leads the clinical development effort and advances the education and adoption of fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet as an innovative tool to extend human lifespan.
One of the main reasons diets fail is when we don't stick to the diet fully, many of us have the tendency to just quit. We become obsessed with perfection and compliance, not allowing ourselves to shift gears if life throws us off a bit. This all or nothing approach destroys our best intentions and stops us from reaching our weight loss goals.
To help us ditch this approach and show us how to be more flexible, we invited Kate Lyman to the show. Kate supports and educates her clients so they are ready to navigate their
nutrition no matter what life throws at them without the "screw it"
mentality, guilt, or endless dieting cycles.
Research shows that up to 80% of New Year's resolutions fail. In the health and weight loss space, it is pretty obvious why. Once that clock hits midnight and our goal is in sight, most of us sprint into the New Year trying to change every single bad habit that got us into our health predicament in the first place. Truth is, we didn't get there overnight and small changes grow into huge gains!
Jason Scrofani, owner of JDS Hometraining joins the show to highlight this inconvenient truth. Jason drives home the point that there isn't a magic bullet and slow and steady wins the race.
We admit it. We've neglected our plant based peeps. Not intentionally of course, just seemed to happen that way. But as people are planning for the New Year, we've seen a huge interest in the subject of cutting back on animal products. So it's time to get some guidance on how to do this.
We invited Hope Pedraza to break it down for us. Hope is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, host of the Hopeful and Wholesome Podcast and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She helps people heal their gut with a plant-focused diet and functional nutrition.
This podcast is dedicated to helping our audience maintain a healthy weight by any means necessary. So that requires us to think outside of the box when needed. So when it comes to losing weight, perhaps there are tools that aren't exclusive to diet and exercise.
Tapping or EFT, can be that tool. Kim McPherson, aka the Well Nurse, joins the show to discuss how this technique can help us lose weight by regulating our eating habits, reducing stress levels, and calming our relationship with food.

Lori and I discuss some of our secrets on how we navigate the holiday season while keeping our health a top priority. We discuss everything from fasting, eating strategies, and supplementation.

He also shares how to not fall victim to the conventional guidance and how to achieve success by forging your own path.
Modern medicine has dominated the way we treat cancer today. However, there was a time when truly groundbreaking discoveries were being made by a man who was truly not expected to make that type of impact, especially being a Jewish, openly gay man in Nazi Germany.
That man was the Nobel laureate Otto Warburg who discovered how cancer cells eat. His story is told by Sam Apple in his new book, Ravenous. Sam shares this historical account along with investigating the dangers of sugar and the link between obesity and cancer.
Nowadays you can walk down a supplement aisle and there's 300 options, just for a fish oil pill. So, it's easy to understand why there's an obvious overwhelm when it comes to any sort of supplementation.
So to cut to the chase and show us how to stick to the basics, we invited Dr. Michael Smith to the show. Dr. Mike, from Life Extension, breaks down exactly what we need to be looking for when we are trying to select a supplement. He also share his free course on how to explore the world of probiotics via his link https://www.wellnessworkshople.com/courses/probiotics

Through rigorous exploration and bio-hacking, Mandy discovered the healing power of ketosis, and used shifts in her thinking and lifestyle changes to reverse her chronic illness.
Can you believe that the diet industry has grown to become a $71 Billion Dollar industry? Any industry that generates that kind of money truly does not want you to be free from it. So when we start to look deeper into why it's so common that most people are on this rollercoaster of weight gain and loss, it is apparent that it is designed that way.
To emphasize this point and show us how to get out of this, we invited Maleen Avery and Anna Paulich of Rebel Medicine to the show. They have now helped over 1,000 women stop the maddening cycle of losing and gaining the same 25 pounds over and over again.
One of the most overlooked obstacles when it comes to weight loss is the role of stress. Physiologically we know that stress increases cortisol, which is a known hormone that contributes to weight gain. But this added stress can quickly lead to feelings of overwhelm which can lead us to give up and not take action.
To share tips on how to overcome this, we invited Brenda Sillas to the show. Brenda is a health and wellness advocate, author and corporate wellness strategy expert whose mission is to end obesity by focusing on nutrition, wellbeing, and workforce health.
As firm believers that weight loss is a byproduct of a healthy lifestyle, it comes as no surprise that a diet protocol that shows amazing brain benefits would have benefits on the scale. But more importantly, the KetoFLEX 12/3 has shown huge promise in the area of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
To share his protocol and expand on this exciting research, we invited Dr. Dale Bredesen to the show. Dr. Bredesen is the author of The End Of Alzheimer's and is the Chief Science Officer of Apollo Health.

It may seem like looking and feeling gorgeous is a long way off from were many of us are standing. But the truth is, our health is fixable! The key is to find out the root cause of our health issues so that we can make the changes to get where we want to be. Food is where we start.

Tommy has also been named one of Canada’s top fitness experts and has firsthand knowledge of how to get ready for roles on the big screen.
It's a relatively common and accepted fact that as we age, it becomes a lot harder to avoid unwanted pounds. Not many people feel the need to debate that idea. After all, when we see someone who is in great shape in their later years, it usually is the exception, not the norm. But the great news is that the thing we thought was inevitable is completely avoidable.
Dian Griesel joins the show to put this myth to bed. Dian, author of Turbocharged: the Silver Disobedience Edition, shares her incredible age defying weight loss strategies that has enabled her to continue modeling into her 60's.

The difference between the concept of a diet and a lifestyle are profound. A diet is thought of as a temporary thing and a lifestyle is just how we live.

To share her immense success with IF, we invited Laurie Lewis to the show. Laurie is the founder of Fast Forward Wellness and shares how IF helped her lose 51 pounds in 15 months and has kept it off for years since.

To illustrate this point, we invited Dr. Robert Zembroski back to the show. Dr. Z is a cancer victor and a walking example of an individual who beat cancer and remains cancer free with nutritional optimization and exercise.

Dr. Michael Roizen joins the show to discuss this concept and all the health benefits associated with this type of timed eating. He is the author of What to Eat When.
Can increasing protein make any diet and exercise goal easier? Dr. Ted Naiman emphatically says yes!

Do you diet like a guru? Probably not. Simply because gurus don't diet. Gurus also don't use anything like food or alcohol to mask their emotions or numb their pain. The issue behind many of our weight problems tend to be that we use food as that support. They don't call it comfort food for nothing!
To explain how to reshape our approach to our food choices, we invited Dr. Rosie Kuhn to the show. Rosie shares how to make empowering decisions that lead to weight loss.

The struggle to maintain a healthy weight is real. The most frustrating part, is that a majority of us have good intentions and put forth tremendous effort to live a healthy life. Yet we live in a sea of misinformation that impedes this very goal and we inevitably gain weight.

Living in a world with an abundance of food is a blessing. It is also a challenge. For many, food as nourishment or fuel is a concept that many people take for granted. By losing this, it is easy for us to use food as a tool to deal with our emotions in an unhealthy way.
We invited Jessica Procini, founder of Escape From Emotional Eating, to the show to discuss this idea and how it relates to weight gain. Jessica's mission is to help high-achieving women heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can use food as fuel rather than a way to cope, soothe and attempt to escape their busy, stressful life.
Looks can be deceiving. You would think that a person who became a 3-time Natural Bodybuilding Champion would fall into a category of a person who has optimized his health. But in Wade Lightheart's case, that would be far from accurate.

One of the worst things about dieting is that it requires us to pay a lot of attention to what we are going to eat next. And we all know that what we focus on, magnifies. This especially isn't a good place to be in when we may be inclined to emotionally eat.
So to unpack some of the underlying issues that cause us to obsess about food, we invited Tricia Nelson to the show. Tricia is the author of the bestselling book, Heal Your Hunger, 7 Simple
Steps to End Emotional Eating Now. Tricia has faced her own struggles with emotional eating, and after hitting emotional rock bottom, she was able to quit drinking and overeating and has maintained a 50-pound weight loss for 30 years.
It still amazes us how our medical leaders to this day overlook the role of diet in treatment of the illnesses that plague society. What we eat plays a huge role in how we feel. So why would mental health be any different?
Brett Lloyd joins the show to drive the importance of diet choices when dealing with mental health. He shares his journey of how he discovered that, after countless prescriptions given to him to manage his depression over decades, his diet was the only thing that got him the results he yearned for.
We've had many guests join the show to talk about all types of diet and exercise programs that can help us on our weight loss journey. Yet, no matter how well we adhere to our preferred principles, there's a hidden saboteur that needs to be addressed: chemicals.
To address this issue, we invited Tim James, founder of Chemical Free Body, to the show. Tim believes that we all have a right to live free of man-made chemicals and eat fresh, highly nutritious foods that have not been altered from their natural state.

After 5 months of living in the pandemic, one thing is clear. Covid is not going away. Frankly, all viruses are here to stay. Instead of waiting around for vaccines, therapeutics, or cures, it is essential that we do what we have to do to build up immunity regardless of viral threats.
We couldn't think of a better person to assist in this approach than Dr. Robert Zembroski. Dr. Z joins us for part 1 of a special 3 part series on the critical preventative steps to combat Covid-19.
You'd be shocked what a difference 16 days can make! Although keto diets are consistently proven to shed excess weight, the kind of results Dr. Anna Cabeca's program has delivered even beats the best of expectations!

It has been said many times on our show that weight loss is a by-product of health. The healthier we are, the leaner we tend to be. It is clear that the only way we can truly become healthy is to eat nutrient dense foods that nourish our bodies and allow us to be exist in our best selves.
To discuss this concept, we invited Dr. Trent Mozingo to the show. Dr. Trent Mozingo grew up on a small farm in Southeastern

There's always an underlying reason why we act the way we do. Once we get to the root of that issue, we can begin to take the necessary steps to correct what plagues us. For many, the key to fighting obesity is to get to the root of why we overeat.
To help us unpack this, we invited Deborah Kesten to the show. Deborah is the author of WHOLE PERSON INTEGRATIVE EATING: A Dietary Lifestyle to Treat the Root Causes of Overeating, Overweight, and Obesity. Deborah identified seven root causes of overeating and provides antidotes for resolving them
The concept of intuitive eating is an incredibly difficult one when presented to a dieter. This is partly because we were all intuitive eaters before we went on our first diet.

Stephanie Dodier joins the show to share her tips on how to make peace with food and your body. She is an Intuitive Eating Expert who also specializes in body image issues.

One of the most overlooked aspects that explains why we have such difficulty sticking to a diet is our emotional obsession with certain foods. Why is it that we find such comfort in certain foods when we are feeling a certain way emotionally about ourselves? Why is it that we have certain rituals around food that aren't always in our best interests?
Adrienne Ngai joins the show to discuss this concept and how we can be more mindful of these pitfalls. Adrienne is a registered dietician who overcame her fear of food leading her to a balanced dieting approach and a healthier life.
