What if your struggle was never really about food?

Recorded live at Ideal Protein's Super Weekend in Calgary, Alberta, Dr. John Barnes sits down with Ideal Protein Clinic Owner and Emotional Resilience & Behavior Change Coach Deborah Spence to explore the emotional side of lasting transformation.

In this powerful mini-episode, Deborah explains why willpower isn't the problem, how emotional triggers shape our eating behaviors, and why understanding what happens before food is often the missing piece in creating sustainable change. Together, they discuss how her work and her new program she is developing – “It Was Never About Food” fits into the Reset Mind pillar of the Ideal Protein journey—helping people uncover the stories, emotions, and patterns beneath their habits so they can experience greater freedom, resilience, and long-term success.

If you've ever wondered why you know what to do but still struggle to do it, this conversation will help you see yourself with more compassion—and give you hope that lasting change is possible.

In this special episode of The Life Possible Podcast, I sit down with the late Lindsay Venn, PA-C, RD, one of the leading voices in metabolic health, hormone optimization, and insulin resistance.

This conversation was recorded shortly before Lindsay's unexpected passing in May 2026. In this episode, recorded during an Ideal Protein conference where Lindsay was serving on an expert menopause panel, we explore a topic that impacts millions of women but is often misunderstood:

What role does insulin resistance play in menopause?

Many women are told that weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, hot flashes, loss of muscle, and declining energy are simply an unavoidable part of aging. Lindsay offers a different perspective, explaining how underlying metabolic dysfunction may be contributing to many of these symptoms and why addressing insulin resistance can be a critical piece of the puzzle.

More than anything, this episode captures Lindsay's passion for helping people reclaim their health through education, compassion, and evidence-based care.

Her influence continues through the countless patients she served, the clinicians she mentored, and the important work she helped advance in the field of metabolic health.

We are grateful for the opportunity to share her voice, wisdom, and legacy with you.

In loving memory of Lindsay Venn.

Be brave. Serve quietly. Love generously. Pursue truth.

What if mental health isn't just about brain chemistry—but also about brain energy?

In this episode of The Life Possible Podcast, Dr. John Barnes sits down with Lauren Alston-Close, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, to explore the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry and the growing connection between metabolism, nutrition, and mental health.

Together, they discuss how blood sugar regulation, inflammation, mitochondrial function, and metabolic health may influence anxiety, depression, brain fog, cravings, and even significant mental disorders including bipolar schizophrenia.

The brain is part of the body. And improving metabolic health may be one of the most powerful—and overlooked—tools we have to support mental and emotional well-being.

Whether you or someone you love is struggling with anxiety, brain fog, mood swings, cravings, low energy, or worse, this episode will help you understand and empower you to make nutritional changes to help impact your mental health.

In this special live episode of The Life Possible Podcast, recorded at the 2026 Ideal Protein Calgary Super Weekend, Dr. John Barnes sits down with Dr. Jonathan Little, professor and researcher at the University of British Columbia, to discuss groundbreaking clinical research exploring the Ideal Protein Protocol use in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Dr. Little shares the results of a landmark study involving 188 participants living with Type 2 diabetes. The findings included significant weight loss, improved blood sugar control, substantial reductions in diabetes medications, and remission in some participants. These results were influential enough to help inform Diabetes Canada's clinical practice guidelines, making it the first diabetes organization in the world to formally recognize Type 2 diabetes remission.

The conversation also includes an exclusive preview of Dr. Little's ongoing DECIDE Trial, which compares the Ideal Protein Protocol head-to-head against a standard whole-food ketogenic diet to determine which approach is most effective for achieving similar results in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Whether you're living with Type 2 diabetes, struggling with insulin resistance, caring for patients, or simply interested in the science of metabolic health, this episode offers an exciting look at the growing evidence that nutrition can be a powerful tool for improving metabolic health.

What if the same patterns driving financial stress, burnout, and underperformance are also showing up in our metabolic health?

In this powerful first installment of our Super Weekend Sessions, Dr. John Barnes sits down with financial strategist and entrepreneur Carly Meyer Bentley, founder of The Freckled Strawberry, to explore the surprising intersection between metabolic health, personal alignment, performance, and financial behavior.

After experiencing her own metabolic reset through the Ideal Protein protocol, Carly began recognizing a deeper truth:

The habits that shape our relationship with food often mirror the habits shaping our relationship with money, stress, performance, and self-worth.

Together, John and Carly dive into:

The connection between metabolic health and peak performance
Why “consumption patterns” go far beyond food
How metabolic dysfunction impacts confidence, clarity, and decision-making
Why Carly integrated Ideal Protein into her trademarked TFS™360 program
Breaking destructive cycles and reclaiming intentional living

This conversation goes far beyond weight loss.

It’s about clarity. Alignment. Energy. Performance. And becoming the person you were designed to be.

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death — but what if the real cause isn’t cholesterol?

In this episode, cardiac surgeon Philip Ovadia explains why heart disease is fundamentally a metabolic condition, driven by insulin resistance, inflammation, and poor nutrition — not as much about elevated LDL. In fact, when it comes to LDL cholesterol it’s more about the “quality than the quantity” we should be concerned about.

Drawing from his books Stay Off My Operating Table and the forthcoming companion book, Stay Off My Kitchen Table, Dr. Ovadia shares how his personal health journey reshaped his approach to cardiology and how you can reduce your risk by addressing the root cause – nutrition and metabolic dysfunction.

If you, or someone you are close to is struggling with cardiovascular disease, this episode could be life changing!

If you’ve been told to focus on calories, cholesterol, or sodium — this conversation will challenge that model and offer you direction towards a more effective path forward reversing or preventing heart disease! And boy, are you going to be surprised at what this cardiologist wants on and off your kitchen table! Tune in and find out!

What if your environment wasn’t the limitation you thought it was?

In this episode of The Life Possible Podcast, Dr. John Barnes sits down with Ideal Protein coach Howard Flamm and his client Nadine Honeycutt—who lost 70 pounds while living on a 14-foot sailboat.

Faced with pre-diabetes and limited space, Nadine made a decision to take control of her health. With the support of her coach, the Ideal Protein protocol, and the strategic use of a GLP-1 medication, she transformed her body, her metabolism, and her life.

👉 In this episode:

How Nadine got started (and overcame hesitation)
Using GLP-1s alongside a structured protocol
Cooking and thriving in a tiny kitchen
Favorite recipes and simple systems for success
What 70 pounds of weight loss really changes
Improvements in blood sugar and daily life

This is proof that your situation doesn’t determine your success—your actions do.

In this episode of The Life Possible Podcast, Dr. John Barnes sits down with Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDCES, Medical Science Liaison at Keto-Mojo and a respected voice in the world of low-carb and ketogenic nutrition.

Dr. Barnes and Franziska explore why ketones are important as both energy and “signalers” in the human body for appetite suppression and preservation of muscle mass during weight loss as we see during the Ideal Protein protocol! How tools like the Keto Mojo blood glucose and ketone meters, and the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) can give individuals real insight into what is happening inside their metabolism. They discuss the different ways ketones can be measured, why blood testing is considered the gold standard, and how combining glucose and ketone data can provide a deeper picture of metabolic health.

Franziska explains nutritional ketosis, which can support weight loss and improve metabolic health markers, at relatively low ketone levels. She also discusses deeper ketone levels in therapeutic ketosis, which is often used in research and clinical settings for conditions such as neurological disorders, mental health conditions, and even cancer metabolism.

Finally, the episode highlights exciting emerging research on very low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets (VLCKD – like IP Phase 1) and their potential role in a wide range of health outcomes, including weight loss, appetite regulation, binge eating disorder, acne, preservation of lean muscle mass, PCOS and fertility outcomes, and improved metabolic health.

In Episode 100 of the Life Possible Podcast, Dr. John Barnes sits down with endocrinologist Dr. Mariela Glandt, founder of OwnaHealth, to challenge one of the most entrenched beliefs in modern medicine:

Is Type 2 Diabetes really chronic and progressive… or is it reversible?

Dr. Glandt shares her journey from traditional endocrinology training at Columbia, and Harvard to discovering a radically different approach after hearing the late Dr. Sarah Hallberg speak about diabetes reversal through carbohydrate restriction.

In this powerful milestone episode, we discuss:

· What is actually happening in the body when someone develops Type 2 Diabetes

· Why T2D is fundamentally an insulin problem — not just a blood sugar problem

· The truth about pre-diabetes (including alarming statistics in adults and adolescents)

· What insulin resistance really is — and the signs you may be missing

· Why the medical system labels T2D “chronic and progressive”

· Medication escalation vs. lifestyle intervention

· The role of ketogenic and low-carb nutrition in reversing insulin resistance

· The emotional transformation when patients realize they can take control

If you or someone you love has been told that Type 2 Diabetes will only get worse, this episode offers clarity, science, and hope.

In this episode of The Life Possible Podcast, host John Barnes is joined once again by registered dietitian Shannon Davis, RD for a timely and eye-opening conversation about the new food pyramid—and why it’s been turned upside down.

For decades, we were taught to build our diets on grains, fear fat, and treat protein as an afterthought. But metabolic science has been quietly rewriting that story—and now, even the pyramid is catching up.

In this conversation, John and Shannon break down:

· Why the original food pyramid failed so many people

· What it really means that protein is now at the base

· The essential role of protein and healthy fats in human nutrition

· Why there is no such thing as an “essential carbohydrate”

· How insulin, hormones, and food quality matter more than calories

· What this shift means for everyday people trying to lose weight, regain energy, and improve metabolic health

They also revisit key themes from Shannon’s first appearance on the show—exploring how dietitians are evolving, why many professionals are finally stepping outside the old paradigm, and how this new model validates what low-carb, protein-forward approaches have shown for years.

If you’ve ever felt confused, hungry, or frustrated by traditional nutrition advice, this episode will help you understand why it wasn’t your fault—and what to focus on instead.

👉 If the food pyramid flipped… maybe it’s time to flip how you eat.

In this episode, Dr. John Barnes welcomes Lindsay Venn, PA-C, RD, MPH—a clinician with rare dual training in medicine and nutrition, and a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. Lindsay shares her journey into integrative, root-cause metabolic care and the mission behind Venn Integrative Medicine, her multi-state telehealth practice.

Together, John and Lindsay unpack the science and real-world implications of insulin resistance—what it is, why it’s so widespread, and how it drives a long list of symptoms and chronic conditions. Lindsay explains how IR develops, why it’s often not your fault, and how conventional dietary guidelines contributed to the modern metabolic crisis.

They also explore why insulin resistance shows up differently in women’s health, influencing everything from PCOS and fertility to the hormonal transitions of perimenopause and menopause. Lindsay breaks down the key labs and biomarkers she evaluates in clinical practice (A1C, fasting insulin, glucose patterns, hormone profiles) and why fasting glucose alone is not enough to assess metabolic health.

The episode wraps with a grounded discussion of GLP-1 medications—their potential role, their limitations and concerns, and how people can boost their own GLP-1 production naturally with low-carb/keto nutrition, specific supplements, and lifestyle strategies.

If you want a clear, compassionate, clinically grounded explanation of insulin resistance—and why women are uniquely affected—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this flavorful episode of The Life Possible Podcast, John sits down with Chef Roza Phox, founder of JOYFULL, to explore how delicious, healing food can thrive even within Phase 1 “restrictions.”

Emergency Room physician Dr. Amy Gutman has seen it all—and she’s not afraid to tell the truth about what’s killing her patients. Known as “Tough Love MD,” Amy blends compassion with blunt honesty, challenging the culture of quick fixes, patient satisfaction scores, and a medical system that too often keeps people “comfortable” instead of healthy.

Drawing from her own journey with obesity, chronic illness, and a learning disability, Amy offers an empowering message of hope: the solution is simple—but not easy—and it starts with good nutrition, daily movement, and the belief that you’re better than your circumstances.

In this eye-opening conversation, Amy shares what it’s like to work on the front lines where 85% of patients have chronic, preventable diseases, yet few are ready to make the lifestyle changes that could truly save their lives. From the shift in medicine from survival rates to Yelp-style reviews, to the dangers of the “kind lie,” Amy pulls back the curtain on a system that rewards keeping patients happy rather than well.

If you’ve ever wondered why your doctor might not tell you the whole truth, or how tough love can actually be the most compassionate care of all, this episode will change the way you see medicine—and yourself. Keep your eyes open for Amy's new book arriving soon - Powerhouse Living: Lead Your Life Like a Resuscitation!

Ideal Protein Nation!!! It’s time to “Thrive - Not Just Survive in 2025!!” In our first episode of 2025, we travel back to Montana to join our friends from HIMpossible Life Changes, Coaches Kathy and Noelle as they introduce us to their very successful client Beth Cummings! Beth was one of their first IP clients back in 2023! Beth’s personal approach of “I’ll try it for a week” turned into “I’ve lost over 40 pounds!”

Join us as Beth shares her journey and the keys to her success, not just losing weight but maintaining that weight loss now for over a year! We talk about how “mistakes are merely opportunities to learn,” “food prep is your secret weapon for every phase from weight loss to maintenance,” and “Do Not Stumble Over Something That is Behind You!”

If you enjoyed Episode 73 of the show when Kathy and Noelle joined me for the first time, you know that we had a lot of laughs, puns, and fun during this episode!!!

Ideal Protein Nation…I am so excited for you to meet Tina Wells and her clinic owner/coach Pauline Johnson! Tina has not only been successful losing over 100 pounds with the Ideal Protein protocol in less than one year, but she has also managed to maintain her new healthy weight within a 7-pound fluctuation over the past 2 years!

Tina’s new life feels so amazing and “free” that she is not willing to give it up! Join us as she explains how limited and painful her life was before doing the Ideal Protein protocol as she was dealing with an inflammatory autoimmune disorder in addition to her significant weight problem. Celebrate with her as she explains how “Food no longer talks to me…I talk to it and tell it what to do for me!”

Her whole story of weight loss and maintenance can be summed up in one word…commitment. Many know the benefits of committing to weight loss, but few understand the amazing things possible when one commits to a Phase 3 maintenance lifestyle!

Join us and hear Tina’s personal commitment to her own “Life Possible” and you will be inspired to make this coming January “tune-up” the last time you ever need to “re-lose” more than 10 pounds!

Ideal Protein Nation!!! I've got a really cool episode for you this week that just might take your Phase 1 journey to the next level!! Where are my strugglers? Do you still struggle with hunger in between meals on Phase 1? How about cravings for carbs that would sabotage your week? Do you really struggle during week 1 when you are doing a tune-up? Does it seem like occasional vegetables knock you out of ketosis and reduce results?

Have we got a product for you!!! Ideal Protein has partnered up with HVMN to bring our clients their flagship product Ketone IQ! Ketone IQ is an "exogenous ketone" supplement that has the power to knock down hunger, curb cravings, boost energy, and make your fat-burning machine run more efficiently during Phase 1 protocol!!! Watch or listen as I interview Dr. Latt Mansor, PhD, Research lead for HVMN/Ketone IQ as we teach you all about ketones, why your brain and heart prefer ketones over sugar for fuel, and how to use this amazing product in both Phase 1 and Phase 3 of the Ideal Protein protocol!!

Ideal Protein Nation!! Meet Kathy and Noelle!! They are an awesome Ideal Protein team of clinic owners, coaches, and clients in Montana. Both have fantastic weight loss journeys personally and have successfully coached others to weight loss success too. However, a twist of fate found them abandoned by their original weight loss company that got them started. However, faith had taught them that when one door closes, God opens another. Enter Ideal Protein.

They put the Ideal Protein protocol to the test and discovered that Ideal Protein offers SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST WEIGHT LOSS!! They surprised themselves by not only achieving even more weight loss success, but now they were energized by the science of “Metabolic Health” through the training and practice of the protocol! They now felt and understood from the inside-out what it means to “Power Life Possible!” Their motto is “It’s a LIVE IT not a DIE IT!” I have loved watching them grow as Ideal Protein coaches and clinic owners, and they constantly blow me aways with coaching sayings like “Don’t Wake Up the Baby!” and portion control takes you from Suburban to Sedan, but Ideal Protein changes you “Under the Hood!” I hope you enjoy this episode! So much inspiration, motivation, and education to empower your Ideal Protein journey!!

Hey Ideal Protein Nation!!! I would like to introduce you to my amazing client Debbie!! Debbie is in the process of losing over 90 pounds using the Ideal Protein protocol – TWICE!!

Have you been successful using this program to lose significant weight only to find yourself a few years later back where you started and needing a “do-over?!?” Join Debbie and I as we discuss her journey as she faced her guilt and shame head on and “pressed the button” to send me the email where she explained her plight and desire to come back and try again. Debbie will explain how her fibromyalgia pain was off the charts (again) and her ankles, legs and feet were so swollen and painful, she was severely limited in her ability to walk even through the grocery store.

Her story is one of triumph that she is still writing as she has once again taken control of her metabolism through Ideal Protein nutrition which has relived 90%+ of her inflammation and fibro pain, eliminated all the swelling and pain from her legs and feet, and once again “Powers Her Life Possible” as she travels up and down the East coast on business trips all while successfully sticking to the protocol. Oh yeah, and she’s down 88 pounds so far and heading towards her Phase 1 finish line!

Hear he talk about how THIS time she is excited, but still a little fearful, about “Phasing Off” properly so that she can continue to live her life healthy, energetic and feeling THIS GOOD!!!

Ideal Protein Nation!!! Does your family physician know about the Ideal Protein program and all it has to offer their patients for weight loss and Metabolic Health? Well, my next guest is Dr. Brandon Webb a Family Practice doctor in Lincoln, NE. Dr. Webb found himself in a familiar position many doctors do these days, personally weighing his heaviest and needing to lose weight! Dr. Webb “knew” that some of his patients were having success losing weight with this Ideal Protein program and clinic owner/coach Penny Spanjer! So, he investigated the program, understood the science and decided to call Penny and get started with his wife! Dr. Webb lost 40 pounds on his own personal journey and now successfully maintains his new healthy weight by staying in touch with Coach Penny once per month in Phase 3! Now, like other successful Ideal Protein clients, he recommends Ideal Protein to his patients (and colleagues) and sends them to the local clinic Ideal Protein with Penny!

Dr. Webb is also Chief Medical Officer for an Accountable Care Organization – a group of physicians dedicated to providing higher quality care, improving the health of their patients, preventing disease and all while reducing healthcare costs! He discusses how recommending the Ideal Protein program empowers his patients to take control of their health and not only lose weight, but improve other Metabolic Health markers like blood sugar, A1C, cholesterol, high blood pressure and more! This ultimately saves healthcare dollars that would be spent on obesity, metabolic disease, medical crisis care, and prescription medications!

This episode is for patients and doctors alike! Please share it with your family, friends, and physicians!!!

Ideal Protein Nation!!! As promised on the Encore episode we dropped over the weekend, here is my EPIC Adventure with successful Ideal Protein client, coach, and clinic owner Allison Dozar!!! Allison couldn’t be more passionate about helping others transform their lives through the Ideal Protein program and her clients couldn’t be more blessed when they take this journey with her!! In her constant quest to “Always Be Curious” she is always looking for new approaches to use to unlock her clients potential. In this episode, we discuss her latest passion for using the modality of Clinical Hypnotherapy” in her practice to help her clients access and transform self-limiting beliefs they may not even know they have that hold them back in their quest for transformation. As a certified clinical hypnotist, Allison dispels myths surrounding the practice of hypnotherapy, talks through some of the science behind creating new neural pathways, and talks about what successful hypnotherapy looks like. She discusses how she might use this tool to help people get past limiting beliefs like “I am an emotional/ binge eater.” “Nothing works for me.” “I self-sabotage.” And why “I’m stuck” is a “check engine light!” Take this ride with us, you never know where it may take you!! Next stop…Life Possible!

Ideal Protein Nation!!! Let's break the dead air around here with another amazing episode of Encore we recorded with host Wendy White-Stevens of the The Real Women of Ideal Protein and special guest Allison Dozar! Allison is a successful Ideal Protein client, and as often happens, she became a coach and then co-owner of her Ideal Protein clinic MBS Wellness in Colorado! In this fun and inspirational episode, Allison shares more of her, and her mother's personal stories that we did not get to hear in the skydiving Episode 47 Part 1 or 2! They both enjoyed how Ideal Protein took their already "healthy and fit lifestyles" to the next level they had never been able to achieve before or thought possible! How it's about "hormones" but not the ones women usually think are sabotaging their weight!

Also, Allison shares insight into how she coaches her clients to pursue their own personal "Life Possible" goals and dreams!! She talks about how shifting into the Phase 1 metabolic state of ketosis is seemingly like going from "Living Life in Black & White to Living in Technicolor!" Join us for this fun and inspiring episode. It will get you excited and interested to hear why Allison and I will be recording another full episode oof the Life Possible Podcast this week!! #idealprotein #livinglifepossible #foodismedicine #IPWeightLossScience #TRANsformation24 #weightlossishealthcare

Encore episode 6: Life After the Jump with Jessica Bengtson. We met Jessica in 2022 when she lived her dream of skydiving after losing 130+ pounds with Ideal Protein. This episode brings a conversation to Ideal Protein Nation that is long overdue and we are so thankful to have been able to check in with Jessica and chat about the science + humanity experience in Phase 2 and 3. If you haven't seen or listened this Encore episode Wendy shared over the weekend, give yourself the gift!! What an authentic conversation we had with Life Possible Podcast Episode 47 (Parts 1&2) guest Jessica Bengtson about "Life After the Jump." Weight loss is one battle, and weight maintenance is quite another! Join us as we discuss the ups and downs of nutrition and life. It's not all "heavy" conversation, we have some fun too!

Ideal Protein TRANsformNation!!! I am so proud to introduce Ideal Protein Coach Joanna Kemp! Joanna’s personal Ideal Protein story will have you riding the roller coaster of life through all of it’s ups and downs! Joined by her Clinic Owner, Avril Garder, they take us through Jonna’s journey of weight loss and regain and we learn new lessons with every hill and valley! Lessons like “Falling down is not failure...not getting back up is!” and how to “reach down into your soul and come up with a why that can bring tears to your eyes!” Joanna is not giving up! In fact, she is in week 13 of another Phase 1 journey and is chronically her successes and speed bumps in a video blog to provide transparency and inspiration for her clients!

Ideal Protein Nation!! At long last, here is Part 2 of my interview with Wendy White-Stevens where we get authentic, raw and vulnerable about the “Humanity” of the Ideal Protein journey! The founder of the The Real Women of Ideal Protein “get’s real” talking about her Phase 3 Maintenance journey and the up and down battle with weight regain. We delve deeply into the idea that even at 270+ pounds, obesity is NOT the primary problem for many, but the secondary problem that is a result of many common, but often deep-seeded identity and mind-set issues. The topics that are close to Wendy’s heart we discuss include feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and the lifestyle of business and people-pleasing. You’re gonna want to have some tissues close by for this one! We tackle all these topics in the context of Ideal Protein's founder, Dr. Tran’s timeless book about the science and humanity of Ideal Protein “Because It’s Your Life!” The struggle in Phase 3 is real, but we unpack one of Dr. Tran’s most poignant statements… “Weight regain isn’t necessarily a failure. Giving up is!” By the end of the show hopefully you will agree with us that this journey is hard, but it is worth it! And YOU are worth it! But we need to stick together as a community, as Ideal Protein Nation, so we can all be successful together! #idealprotein #IPWeightLossScience #foodismedicine #weightlossishealthcare #Weightloss #weightlossmotivation #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossinspiration

Ideal Protein Nation!!!! Here is a new EPIC episode of the Life Possible Podcast to renew your motivation, inspiration, and education to fuel your nutrition, weight loss, and Metabolic Health journey!

Are you “sick and tired” of feeling “sick and tired?” Do you suffer from common symptoms of Metabolic Dysfunction like lack of energy, increased inflammation, brain fog, mood swings, GI issues, anxiety, and depression? Learn how all these things are related to your Metabolism, and how you can improve them through the nutrition of the Ideal Protein protocol!

In this episode, I reunite with the “Metabolic Maven” Wendy White-Stevens for the first of a 2-part series on the “Science and Humanity” of the Ideal Protein protocol! We start this show by reviewing Wendy’s amazing personal story of transformation that started with losing over 120 pounds with the Ideal Protein protocol back in 2016!! She shares her initial skepticism, fears, and her deep desire to stop “living life from the sidelines” with obesity and poor Metabolic Health. Then join us as we unravel the concept of Metabolic Health and how it relates to your daily life, and how it “powers your ability to pursue your own Life Possible!”

Have you heard the term “Insulin Resistance” on TV and radio and still have no idea what it is or how it affects weight gain, weight loss and Metabolic Health? We will explain in simple terms how this common Metabolic Dysfnction develops and the science behind the powerful metabolic impact of the Ideal Protein protocol!! #idealprotein #metabolichealth #foodismedicine #weightlossishealthcare #nutritionalmetabolicsolution #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #IPWeightLossScience #helpforinsulinresistance #insulinresistance

Not just the science behind it, but the mental and emotional aspects of the weight loss transformation journey itself! We both, along with thousands of people around the world, credit Dr. Tran with saving our lives with his gift of the Ideal Protein protocol. Listen as Bev will quote us chapter and verse through some of Dr. Tran’s most powerful teachings as we vow to keep his legacy alive to continue his great work he began so long ago! #idealprotein #IPWeightLossScience #Weightloss #weightlosstransformation #metabolichealth #IPStrong

This one is worth enjoying twice and taking notes!! #idealprotein #IPWeightLossScience #livinglifepossible #weightlosstransformation #metabolichealth

Lynnie had all but given up on her running career. She loved it, but it did not love her. Chronic injuries piled up, her weight wouldn’t budge, and she never felt like she had the energy she was supposed to have from her “healthy runner’s diet.” Her Chiropractor educated her as to why her current approach to nutrition and her metabolic health was most likely responsible for her symptoms and the stubborn weight. She started the Ideal protein protocol with him, and her results were nothing short of “life changing!” Not only did she melt off 11% bodyfat on her already “fit” body, but her inflammation also subsided, GI tract cleaned up and her running improved like never before! The following year, not only did she achieve many personal bests, but she accomplished a lifetime running goal and ran her first full marathon ever at the age of 55 (and was able to enjoy every moment of it)!! Her training and racing energy was through the roof, and her ability to physically recover was better than she ever thought possible! Her favorite phrase she still says to me is “I don’t know what you did to me doc!” - but I do…and we will share that with you during this show!

Ideal Protein Nation!!!! This episode I bring you not one but two amazing stories of metabolic and personal transformation!!! First, you will get to meet Jessica Robinson who used the Ideal Protein protocol to lose over 80 pounds at the age of 24! She was so excited and motivated by her personal journey, she has become a very successful Ideal Protein coach and is busy helping many others do the same!! Amber Brewer is one of her super successful clients who has used the protocol to lose over 150 pounds herself in her 30’s with the insight and coaching Jessica imparts to all her clients!! Hopefully this show will inspire those struggling with weight and health in their 20s and 30s to see they CAN take charge of their Metabolic Health and weight to live their best “Life Possible!!!”

Canadian Baseball Hall of Famer Jesse Barfield is certainly not the first retired professional athlete to find himself overweight and unhealthy years into his retirement. And as we are about to find out, he is also not the first retired professional athlete to turn to the Ideal Protein protocol to help him regain his “prime time” form! Susanna Smit, Jesse’s Ideal Protein coach joins us for this fun and authentic conversation, and she shares how her coach/client relationship has blossomed into both families becoming close friends. Surely Jesse Barfield is now one of my professional baseball and life heroes and I am blessed to have this opportunity to get to know him! Guys…check out this episode of LPP to learn how and why the Ideal Protein program is “ideal” for men to lose unwanted and unhealthy fat, and maintain your precious muscle mass in the process! Ladies...not only will you love Jesse, but you will want to share this episode with the men in your life they can feel confident losing weight and feeling great with Ideal Protein!!

You may have seen her already as she has been featured in some of Ideal Protein’s current marketing program entitled the Powering Life Possible Project as she kayaks across a Canadian lake! Now you will get to know Alli as she authentically shares her life story with weight. From being bullied as a child, to limiting herself as an adult by not attempting activities or events because of her weight. She now feels as if she is actually living a “whole new life” after she used the Ideal Protein protocol to lose over 60 pounds in 6 months in her late 20’s! She explains how this has energized her, changed her outlook on life, and is enjoying activities and opportunities she never would have tried before!!! I am sure you will be touched and inspired by Alli to start your own journey or get restarted pursuing your own Life Possible!! #idealprotein #foodismedicine #weightlossishealthcare #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #IPWeightLossScience #resetwellnessnow

She worked hard to build a life where she now is in a motorized wheelchair, has a job and lives as full of a life as she can!

That’s when she found Ideal Protein and her coach, Wendy White Stevens! Join us to hear Sharon’s incredible story. Find out how she lost over 50 pounds, improved blood work and her metabolic health, and how her doctor makes her tell her amazing story to all the med students who shadow him for her visits! Sharon is a delight and a hero on her own mission to inspire others in wheel chairs or not, to take control of their metabolic health and their weight through the Ideal Protein protocol!

Ideal Protein Nation, I want you to meet Morgan!! Morgan has been a chiropractic patient of mine for years. I have seen her struggle with her weight over those years despite spending countless hours in the gym! Finally last year she decided to give Ideal Protein a shot and I knew her transformation was going to be epic! To her credit, Morgan allowed me to reprogram much of what she thought she about nutrition, weight loss, and exercise and her results are nothing short of spectacular! Not only did she lose over 80 pounds, but she gained a new sense of self-confidence, a positive mindset and self-talk, and exercise is fun again and not punishment! Join us as she takes us through her personal journey of transformation and self-discovery! Hopefully she will inspire you to Ditch Diet Mentality and Pursue “Metabolic Mentality and Health” through the Ideal Protein program in 2023!!

Ideal Protein Nation… I can’t wait for you to meet Marina Perez! At 19 years old she was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and was told she would most likely not have children. And by the age of 42, she added obesity, high blood pressure and Type II diabetes to her list. However, seemingly as the answer to her prayers, she was “strongly encouraged” to start the Ideal Protein protocol by her boss at work, and she had no idea what she was in for! Not only did she lose 90 pounds and have her doctor take her off all her medications, but she was also then “Diagnosed as Pregnant” at the age of 43!! And at 44, after a healthy and strong full-term pregnancy, she delivered the gift of a lifetime, her amazing healthy baby boy!!! Listen as Marina and her Coach Lisa Shaker-Knopp share this heartwarming, hope-filled tale of Life Possible!!!

THIS is the path from “Impossible” to “Life Possible!” Please stay tuned to the very end, this program has meaningful information all the way through that could have “life-changing” impact for you or someone you love! #idealprotein #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #weightloss #foodaddiction #sugaraddicition #livinglifepossible #resetwellnessnow #livinglifepossible

Ideal Protein Nation – I give you episode #39!! In this episode, I have the privilege of interviewing Dr. Dennis Barley, VP of Healthcare Strategy for Ideal Protein!! Dr. Barley is a friend of mine and someone I look up to and respect in the company! Dr. Barley is the lead when educating physicians as to why they should consider the Ideal Protein Protocol as their number one “drugless and non-surgical” option to include in their treatment plan when addressing weight loss, obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases!

Please take the time to watch, listen, and digest this amazingly information packed episode!! We hope that we are successful getting our message across that weight issues are NOT the result of “willpower or moral failures” and should not be subject to “guilt or shame!” That weight loss is NOT “Vanity,” but it should be Healthcare That YOU Deserve!! And that the Ideal Protein Protocol represents a “different approach to weight loss and log-term weight management” over 3 Phases not just 1!!!

And in the end, we ask all of IP Nation to enroll in our mission and vision and help fight the epidemics of weight issues, obesity, and metabolic disease our country and world has been suffering long before COVID-19 shown a spotlight on them and emphasized their magnitude and importance!! #idealprotein #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #IPWeightlossScience #weightloss #resetbodyresetmindresetpossible #livinglifepossible #resetwellnessnow

This episode I had the privilege of interviewing and presenting to Ideal Protein Nation, Dr. Linda Anegawa. She is an award-winning physician-educator, writer, and consultant dedicated to the treatment of metabolic and weight-related disease. Her expertise on metabolic and weight-related disease have been featured in US News & World Report, HuffPost, Yahoo News, Women’s Health, and Oprah magazine, among others. Today Dr. Anegawa serves on the Executive Medical Board of Ideal Protein and I couldn’t be more excited about that!!

I had so much fun hanging out with Dr. A recording this show and I hope you do too! I knew that she and I were kindred spirits from listening to her present during Ideal Protein corporate events and most recently the Great Reset Virtual Event that Ideal Protein produced last month! However, it was absolutely confirmed when she described attending a medical obesity conference as if it were a Metallica concert!! I totally understood her excitement about finally finding a way to help her patients “get healthier” instead of simply “managing their decline” and wanting to rush the stage after a presentation! I love Dr. A’s depth of understanding of both the science and mental/emotional aspects of obesity, weight loss and long-term lifestyle change!

First, we discuss how the Ideal protein protocol is actually a “Lifestyle Program” and is such a different approach metabolically than other weight loss programs. Dr. Anegawa the also confirms why there has never been a more important time in the history of the health of our country to start a program like this that has the potential to have such a huge impact on your “Metabolic Health” for the long term! Next, we have a discussion about the importance of your “WHY” and how to define that in a meaningful way. Then she explains and helps us understand the difference between “motivation” and “readiness” to make a significant lifestyle change and what you need to do be “ready” and “successful!” #idealprotein #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #resetbodyresetmindresetpossible #livinglifepossible

After her horse was well on her way to recovery, Miranda knew she had to do something drastic to get herself back to life. She made the call to her Ideal Protein coach and began the journey all over again. Only this time, she was fully aware of every way the Ideal Protein protocol restored her body, mind, and spirit "from the Inside-Out!"

Here it is!!! The incredible journey of the "Unbreakable Meghan Newell Davis!" Join us as Meghan describes how Ideal Protein "Saved Her Life" not once but three times! During this show, we laughed, we cried, but I'm here to tell you it has a happy ending!

Meghan unknowingly spent her childhood, teen years and early adulthood trained herself for the fight of her life. Growing up athletic she achieved very high levels of fitness including bodybuilding and triathlon! A medical condition created weight gain she could not control and brought her to the Ideal Protein Protocol. After her successful weight loss she started a new career that she loved coaching and marking for Ideal Protein! She married, moved to Myrtle Beach, SC had a beautiful baby boy and was opening her own Ideal Protein clinic when it hit.

Just over 2 years ago, Meghan saw her health & fitness deteriorate despite her best efforts at training and nutrition. Doctors finally figured out that aa a side effect of a medical procedure, she had developed a rare and debilitating condition called Scleroderma. Over the next few weeks she later learned it was rapidly progressing and her doctors gave her only a few months before it could take her life. The only chance she had at "slowing the progression" was an extremely new Stem Cell Transplant procedure at Duke University. This procedure literally kills off your immune system through chemo and radiation but then transplants your own stem cells back in your body to create a "re-birth!" She did not hesitate, and she was fast-tracked into the program and has the procedure.
