Think Alzheimer's is a disease of old age?The science tells a different story. Research now shows the disease process begins silently 20-30 years before the first symptom—which means your 40s and 50s are your critical window for action, especially for women.

In today's final episode of our prevention series, I share the most powerful, evidence-backed lifestyle strategies that can dramatically reduce your risk, and introduce my RESTORED Protocol: a comprehensive framework designed to help you protect your most precious asset—your brain. This isn't just about prevention; it's about creating a brain that's resistant to damage, capable of repair, and constantly regenerating new connections.

What to Listen For

• [00:03:00] The biggest mistake we make when it comes to Alzheimer’s
• [00:05:00] What the latest science reveals about when Alzheimer’s begins
• [00:06:00] How 98–99% of genetic risk can be offset by lifestyle (yes, really!)
• [00:09:00] The power of the FINGER study—and why multifaceted prevention is key
• [00:13:00] 14 modifiable risk factors identified in the 2024 Lancet Commission
• [00:14:00] The RESTORED Protocol: what it is and how it creates a ripple effect of health
• [00:17:00] From brain fog to blood sugar: how brain health connects to everything
• [00:18:00] Why motivation isn’t enough—and how the Joyful Choices framework makes habits stick
• [00:21:00] Overlooked risks: hearing loss, air pollution, brain injury, and more

Alzheimer’s is not inevitable for those unlucky individuals who inherited certain genes, and it doesn’t have to be your future.

By starting early, addressing modifiable risk factors, and using tools like the RESTORED Protocol and Joyful Choices framework, you can take back control. You are not powerless—you are powerful.

In Part 2 of our "Culture for Sale" series, we're exploring how major brands have significantly shaped our values and, subsequently, our habits.

By examining the influence of big brands like McDonald's, Walmart, Costco, Procter & Gamble, and Amazon, we explore how these mega-brands have redefined convenience, affordability, and consumption in modern American life.

In This Episode:

• Macro Culture vs. Personal Control: Amy discusses the influence of large corporations, explaining how mega-brands like McDonald's, Walmart, Costco, and Amazon have transformed American values. This isn't about placing blame but about becoming aware of the cultural influences on our choices.

• Reclaiming Personal Power: Amy asks listeners to reflect on their own values and whether their purchasing choices truly align with them. She offers encouragement to foster a "micro culture" that supports health and well-being, instead of defaulting to the convenience-driven habits promoted by major brands.

Next Episode Preview: How brands use psychology and fear to create consumer loyalty. Amy will explore how understanding these tactics can help us break free from unwanted habits and feel more empowered.

In this episode, we're take a closer look at one of the top fears we have about aging – cognitive decline and specifically, Alzheimer's disease.

Unlike mobility issues or cancer that affects what you can do, Alzheimer's is a disease that robs you of your very identity.

Alarmingly, an estimated 6.9 million Americans over the age of 65 are living with the disease, and 2/3 are women.

Fortunately, you don't have to leave your risk of developing Alzheimer's to chance. While there are non-modifiable risk factors like age, genetics, and sex, there are many modifiable risk factors that can reduce your risk by up to 90 percent.

The key is to approach it like a game a chess - not checkers - and look five or six steps ahead because the disease process starts 20-30 years before the onset of symptoms like memory loss.

Based on the latest research, I've identified 8 essential habits you can adopt for optimal brain health. The book I reference in this episode are: "The Alzheimer's Solution" by Dean & Ayesha Sherzai, MD, and "The End of Alzheimer's" by Dale Bredesen, MD.

If you want to maintain a sharp, healthy brain well into your 80s and beyond, this is an episode you're going to want to listen to from beginning to end.

Are you confusing hunger with thirst or inadvertently slowing your metabolism?

In this episode, I identify 9 of the most common pitfalls in most weight loss efforts and discuss what to do instead.

Here are three key takeaways:

🔑 Listen to Your Body: Instead of relying on external rules like counting calories or portion control, become attuned to your body's natural signals—hunger, satiety, pain, fatigue and more—and honor them instead of ignoring them.

🔑 Lower Chronic Stress Levels: Chronic stress can be a major saboteur of your weight loss efforts. I identify the root cause of chronic stress and how to manage it.

🔑 Make Contingency Plans: Life happens but a lot of challenges can be anticipated. This is when having a "Plan B" helps to ensure you stay on track.

If you want to lose weight for the last time, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

In this episode, I explain what's included in the "calories in, calories out" equation and why focusing on calorie restriction and the number on your scale is a serious oversimplification of what's required to lose weight and keep it off.

This episode highlights what wrong with dieting and sets the stage for a binge-worthy series that covers what you need to make lasting weight loss easy and inevitable.

Michele, who has personally navigated the challenges of Hashimoto's and Celiac diseases, shares her journey from being misdiagnosed to finally discovering relief through tailored diet and lifestyle changes.

We delve into the importance of using an integrative approach, taking into consideration everything from diet and gut health to sleep patterns and detoxification. It's an episode packed with information on what questions to ask your healthcare provider, what lifestyle changes provide the biggest bang for your buck, the limitations of food sensitivity testing, the healing properties of the AIP diet, and the vital role of quality sleep for overall well-being.

When it comes to chronic diseases, have you ever wondered what makes them chronic? Or did you just accept it as a fact? Something we have to live with?

Well, in this episode, we're focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illnesses, and I'm taking a deep dive into Type 2 diabetes.

I'll be unpacking the concept of insulin resistance, the role of fat in the body, and how medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) actually work to lower blood sugar levels.

We'll also discuss what it means to identify and treat root causes rather than just the symptoms, what can happen when we do, and the specific changes that have led to a reversal of type 2 diabetes without the need for any medication.

So, if you're ready to get a little uncomfortable and learn more about what really makes a difference when it comes to our health, this is an episode you want to listen to from beginning to end.

In this episode, I'm taking a hard long look at the way chronic diseases are treated in our healthcare system.

My research started with the following documentaries on Netflix:

• You Are What You Eat
• What The Health
• The Game Changers
• Poisoned

These lead me to the following books:

• How Not To Die by Michael Gregor, MD
• The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code by Jason Fung, MD
• Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes

And, lastly, Fighting Pharma: A Conversation between Joe Polish and Calley Means. This last source is a must-watch. Calley Means reveals the alarming efforts of for-profit companies like Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, in healthcare policies.

My research brought a troubling reality into focus – the evidence-based medicine practiced by most physicians in our healthcare system, is rife with conflicts of interest and corporate influence.

Just follow the money: From foundational nutrition research used to set nutrition guidance (eg., the food pyramid) to trusted nonprofits (eg., American Diabetes Association) to the standard of care protocols used by physicians, the pha

In this episode, we're talking about the late-night snacking urge that not only undermines your weight loss efforts but disrupts your sleep as well.

To start, we're looking at three common scenarios:

• Mindless snacking while watching TV
• Giving in to cravings after being "good" all day
• Using food as a form of stress relief

Perspective Shift: Instead of focusing on late-night snacking as the problem, let's view it as a symptom. In other words, instead of treating the symptom, let's identify the root causes so we can develop real solutions.

In addition to providing some practical tips, we take a closer look at the physiological and psychological triggers for cravings, what causes "food noise" and the role of sleep procrastination.

Has this ever happened? You've been triggered and the next thing you know, you’re in the middle of a heated argument you had no intention of starting...

Or halfway through a pint of Haagen Daas ice cream...

Or perhaps hitting the bottom of a bag of chips…

Despite practicing yoga and meditation and all that work on being present.

When it comes to optimal health, do you have a strategy for how to approach it?

There's a quote by Michael Porter, "The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do."

In this episode, I'm sharing the Essential Eight so you can avoid the overwhelm of all the things you could do for optimal health and focus on the ones that matter most.

Sometimes I actually refer to them as the Magic Eight, and after you hear what they are, I think you'll agree that they are magical.

We're delving into a hot topic: Vegan vs Omnivore Diets.

If you've ever wondered about the health outcomes, environmental impact, and the nitty-gritty scientific backing of each diet, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

In this deep dive, I review and reflect on the new Netflix docuseries, "You Are What You Eat," about a nutrition study at Stanford University involving 22 sets of identical twins.

The make a fairly compelling case for changing from an omnivore to vegan diet - or at least a more plant-based diet which relies far less on industrialized agriculture.

As always, I invite you to keep an open mind and think critically.

Note: Starting in February 2024, this podcast will be releasing new episodes on Wednesdays.

Do you have some big goals for 2024, and you want to actually achieve your goals this year as opposed to just making the same resolutions over and over again, right?

How about instead of making a New Year's Resolution, we try thinking in terms of a New Year's Evolution?

It starts with nailing your why, so if you haven't listened to my previous episode about nailing your why, listen to that episode first.

In this episode, we're going to be talking about creating your vision and setting your intentions before we then dive into defining your goals.

Are you looking forward to 2024?

If you have some big goals and you want to make sure that 2024 is your favorite year yet, the first thing that you're going to want to do in any goal setting is to get really clear on your why.

When it comes to making your dreams come true, especially if they're health related - for example, you want to lose weight and get in shape - the first step we want to do is nail your compelling why.

To help you with this, here is the "Nail Your Why" portion of the Dare To Dream BIGGER Workshop. It includes some laser coaching with a workshop participant, which is a perfect example of how to apply the Five Whys Method.

You've probably heard me say that your self-worth is not dependent on the size and shape of your body.

In this episode, I'm going to explain how you approach weight loss in a way that's fundamentally different from what diet culture has taught you.

As you travel on the road to success, do you think it would be easier to get to your destination - to achieve your goals - by traveling on a paved road or an unpaved road?

Probably the paved one, right?

In this episode I'm going to be talking about how we make our environment more conducive to achieving our goals.

If you have a particular habit in mind and you would like some help in making that habit stick, I'm going to be talking about the different aspects of your environment that you want to be taking into account because they can be making it easier - or harder... to achieving your goals.

And I'm a big fan of making it easy so it can be inevitable.

How often do you think you misinterpret information and wind up feeling (unnecessarily) stressed, upset, or angry?

Even worse, what if the way you're thinking about a given situation artificially limits the choices available to you?

What I'm describing here are cognitive distortions. These are thought patterns, or habits, if you will, that usually lead to reactions and responses that are really unhelpful and actually move us further away from our goals.

In this bonus episode to the four-part series on Processing Your Emotion, I'm going to review ten different types of cognitive distortions (thought habits, if you will) and share some examples so that you'll be able to recognize them when they they occur.

This is an essential step in reframing process so that you can make better choices.

How much tension do you feel in your body? And where do you feel it?

When it comes to processing your emotions, aka emotional regulation, we're talking about releasing tension and freeing the energy that is stored in your body and how this affects your mind.

Emotional regulation is a skill you want to develop so you can make values-based decisions...

...in other words, so you can respond instead of react.

In part one of this four part series, I talked about notice and name, the ability to be able to identify the specific feeling or feelings that you are experiencing.

In part two, I talked about allowing time and space, and what it really means to sit with your emotions.

In this episode, part three, we're going to be talking about releasing tension in your body.

This is about what it takes to deal with intense emotions so that you can be calm and clear when you choose the right next step.

Do you struggle with emotional eating where you find yourself getting really angry or upset, and then after you eat, you feel guilty?

And so really this whole idea about processing your emotions is something that's really important to your overall health.

In the last episode, I talked about noticing and naming what those emotions are.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about what it actually means to sit with your emotions. This is about freeing up your energy - all that energy that you've been using to avoid or to suppress your emotions. Also so you'll be able to make conscious, deliberate choices instead of letting your emotions make the choices for you.

This is key to being able to make choices that align with your long-term goals.

When it comes to difficult situations how do you deal with the emotions that arise from them?

Do you suppress them, as in not allow yourself to feel? Do you avoid them? Perhaps you turn to emotional eating or going for a run?

Or do you actually process them? Do you actually know what that means?

Processing your emotions is a core aspect of emotional regulation, which is essential for healthy functioning and needed to live a happy, healthy life.

If this is something you were never taught, rest assured this is a skill. It can be learned.

In Part One of this series, we'll walk through step one of processing your emotions.

When you look at your life, do you think your best years are behind you or in front of you?

If you believe what you see and hear in the media, you probably think outer beauty and youth are more important than anything else, especially for women.

It's why anti-aging anything is so popular.

But this couldn't be further from the truth.

When it comes to weight loss and getting healthy and fit, are there so many things you could be doing, or you think you should be doing, that you wind up feeling overwhelmed?

Do you try to overhaul your life? Perhaps choosing two or three habits to work on at once?

Or maybe because you think you've got to do it exactly right... that you really can't afford to make a mistake, so then you wind up doing nothing.

Well, what we've got here is some overwhelm, with a dose of perfectionism, and maybe a hint of overthinking.

All of these all keep us from taking consistent action, which is the key to getting the results you want.

And they are all forms of all-or-nothing thinking.

In this episode, I'm going to help you identify when all-or-nothing thinking is happening. Mind you, it can be really sneaky. I'm also going to be explaining why it makes change much harder, and how you can overcome it.

When you are stressed, do you tend to turn to food or maybe alcohol as a way to deal with the stress? As a way to cope?

Or maybe it's not stress. Maybe it's boredom or sadness or loneliness, so really it's more emotional eating in the broader sense, than just stress eating.

Well, in this episode, we're talking about why emotional eating happens and the three things that you can do to stop... if it's getting in the way of achieving your long-term goals.

Because reframing helps you approach challenges with more optimism, more choices, and more possibilities.

And because your words and your thoughts and the questions you ask yourself have power in how you experience how you perceive your reality, the ability to create a positive reframe is a game-changer, and it's a skill I'm going to teach you in this episode.

Do you think of yourself as an emotional eater?

If so, the first thing I want to do is stop doing that. Stop thinking of yourself as an emotional eater and understand that emotional eating is merely a habit, a behavior that is triggered by a cue and results in a reward. And any behavior can be changed.

Secondly, emotional eating isn't inherently bad for you.

Lastly, emotional eating isn't the problem. It's merely a sign.

It the holidays are stressing you out and you've been turning to food to cope, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

One of my favorite quotes about the food police is, "Unless you killed the chef, there is no morality or guilt in what you eat," by Evelyn Tribole.

The food police are those voices, either the real ones from people in your life or the ones in your head, that are basically telling you what foods you should or shouldn't eat, or how much you should eat.

As a result, you often wind up feeling bad about yourself because you ate a piece of pie or you had a second serving of mashed potatoes, or perhaps you found yourself treating Thanksgiving as a cheat day.

If this is your relationship with food and you're ready to make peace with it so that you can become a joyful eater, this is an episode you're going to want to listen to from start to finish.

Do you know why your actions speak louder than your words?

It's because body language - your actions - is an outward reflection of how you really feel. And if there's any conflict between what you say and what you do, we're going to go with what you're doing.

In this episode, I'm going to walk you through the posture, movements and gestures - what all those elements look like - as well as how you say the words so you can be one of those people that walks into a room and exudes confidence.

When was the last time you were triggered?

I'm not just talking about the triggers that lead to emotional eating, sleepless nights, and that extra glass of wine or two at the end of a long, stressful day.

I'm also talking about the triggers for self-care habits, the ones that create deep health and make lasting weight loss inevitable.

And mastering your triggers, what I affectionately call interoceptive fidelity requires awareness, attunement, and alignment... awareness of what your body is actually telling you, those signals that it's sending, attunement as in an accurate interpretation of what's needed, and alignment - where you're taking action that meets both your short- and long-term goals.

These are incredibly valuable skills to develop, and ones that I'm talking about in today's podcast.

What does a good life mean to you?

Does it mean doing meaningful work? Does it mean waking up with a sense of purpose driving you, moving you forward? Does it mean having people in your life that you care about, that you want good things for?

If you're nodding your head, that means you have stress in your life.

And instead of trying to avoid stress or reduce stress, what we actually need to do is learn how to manage stress better. And that's exactly what I'm going to be talking about in this episode.

Are you making one of the most common mistakes when it comes to weight loss? Are you not eating enough?

The reason this is important is because when you don't eat enough, you're actually slowing down your body's metabolism. The exact opposite of what we want, if the goal is to achieve lasting weight loss.

If this is one of the mistakes that you've been making, rest assured there's still hope. I'm going to walk you through exactly what happens and what you want to do instead.

Have you been told that in order to lose weight, you have to eat slowly and yet you find the whole idea unappealing? Or maybe eating slowly just isn't an option.

If that's the case, rest assured, while eating slowly has its benefits, it isn't a requirement for lasting weight loss.

In this episode, I'm going to be explaining what the benefits are of eating slowly, but also a number of other ways you can experiment with to help you figure out what it is that your body truly needs.

Why do you want to lose weight? Chances are one of your reasons is so you can be healthier.

But research suggests weight-centric efforts to lose weight - that is, programs where the focus is intentional weight loss - don't actually make us healthier. The evidence actually shows that these efforts are more likely to result in weight gain over time.

So is there such a thing as a "healthy" weight? It depends on how you define it.

In this episode, I'm going to review the best way to lose weight and achieve your "optimal" weight especially if what you really want is to be happier and healthier.

Have you been trying to figure out why it is that none of the diets and weight loss programs you've been on have you actually worked - where you've lost the weight AND kept it off?

Well, one of the keys to lasting weight loss is tapping into your 8th sense. It's your interoception.

When you're able to really pay attention to what's going on inside your body, that's where the magic happens. All the diet rules are actually getting in the way because they get us to focus on the outside, the external, instead of what's going on inside your body.

In today’s podcast, I’m going to introduce you to the beautiful concept – interoceptive fidelity – and it’s all about awareness, attunement and alignment.

When was the last time someone said something to you, or maybe it was a thought that you had, that you accepted as true - hook, line, and sinker? And then you reacted to it without even thinking, as opposed to being able to respond to it?

What is your reaction to the following statement?

"Only fat and protein are essential macronutrients – carbohydrates aren’t. However, carbs should be incorporated in your eating plan."

When I read this Facebook post, I nearly had a conniption.

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and were happy with your body? If it's been a while or maybe you've never been happy with your body, and you've been told you have to be smaller or you have to be fitter...

So you've been on this quest to shrink your body.

You have permission to be angry and you really have permission to be hurt too, that people have judged you based on just the shape of your body.

Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You get to be whatever shape you are - curvy, thin, not thin, big boned, tall, short, whatever!

And most importantly I want the beholder to be you.

Whether you're 30 years old or 80 years old or somewhere in between, you wake up every morning with things that you need to do, and more importantly, things that you want to do.

Hopefully, that means that you're still able to do things like climb a flight of stairs with ease, well into your 80s and 90s, and maybe even 100.

In today's podcast, Dr. Dan Ritchie, the president of the Functional Aging Institute, joins me to talk about what functional fitness actually is, the trajectory of aging, and what you need to be mindful of so that you are ready for the amazing opportunities that life still has in store for you.

When Cesar Millan rehabilitates dogs, he also spends time training the owners on handling the dogs with what he calls “calm-assertive energy.” More often than not, the dog's misbehavior is a reaction to what the unskilled owner is or isn't doing so focusing on the dog would be akin to treating the symptoms, not the problem.

When we look at extra weight as the problem and not the symptom, we are making the same mistake. It's this mistake that leads to thinking diets will solve the problem.

In this episode, I discuss how in order to achieve lasting weight loss, we need to build skills like exuding calm assertive energy and claiming your space with dogs.

When was the last time you walked into a room, looked around, and compared how you look to others?

The comparison game is at the root of so many of our body image issues. Do you catch yourself seeing someone who looks great… and feel less than? And then look for someone in worse shape to feel better about yourself?

It's vitally important to know that this thought process is based on shame, and this is why it’s so important to focus on running your own race.

Don't eat a lot of vegetables? I’m not here to change your mind about the fruits and veggies you don’t like to eat. At the same time, if you struggle with cravings and feel like you’re always hungry, your body is trying to tell you something. It's looking for specific nutrients.

In this episode, I focus on one of the 5 key self-care habits I talk about all the time – eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, and how to get more of them into your meals even when you don't. In addition to reviewing the benefits of fiber, I also provide some ideas on different ways to prepare vegetables you may not have tried yet.

Also, when it comes to fruit, I explain why we don't need to be afraid of the sugar content and which is best for your body - whole fruit or juicing.

These days, we're hearing a lot of coaches telling us we need to stop "shoulding" ourselves. When "should" is a trigger word, it can sabotage our efforts in many areas of life, from weight loss to entrepreneurship.

In this episode, Susan Topf joins Amy to discuss the important differences between judgment and discernment, and how the latter serves us better in our weight loss and wellness journey.

If you believe you'll finally be happy and feel good about yourself when you achieve your goal weight, you're most likely mistaken.

In this episode, Amy discusses how attaching your success and happiness to achieving results and outcomes out of your control sets you up for disappointment and yo-yo dieting.

Instead of forming outcome-based habits, become the best version of you by:

1. Starting with intention instead of goals.
2. Creating the conditions for the outcomes you want.
3. Focusing on identity-based instead of outcome-based habits

In this episode, Amy discusses how diets, fitness challenges and many weight loss programs we sign up for trigger ALL or NOTHING thinking, which is a form of artificial scarcity. This is yet another reason why these programs have such a high failure rate.

Instead of pursuing dramatic, short-term results, Amy reviews why it's so important to focus on the long game and see our choices on a continuum so life doesn’t get in the way, and change is sustainable and becomes the way you live. We do this by:

1. Focusing on building habits
2. Listening to our body
3. Managing our mind

Today's topic is something that I have coached on so many times, and it’s something that all of us do — even if we don't realize it.

In this episode, we explain why using the word "should" can trigger self-judgment and shame.  In other words, when you turn feedback or assessment into judgment.  And when you look at yourself through the lens of social conformity, this can often lead to shame.

We then review how fat shaming can actually be harmless, and how to apply The Learning Cycle or TLC Method to reframe your interpretations to serve you and help you take action to move you closer to your goals.

In this episode, we talk about how the frame we use to understand various situations and our circumstances can impact our interpretations, and what's required to move forward so we can create the future we want.

In this episode, Amy Lang reviews the 3 C’s for coping with these stressful chaotic times. When you learn how to control what you can, cope with what you can't and concentrate on what truly matters, you are focused on taking consistent action which will help you create the life you want.

Two beliefs she examines are 1) asking for help is a sign of weakness and 2) self-care is selfish.

Neither one of these helps to move us closer to our goals, and we reframe them to evoke a stress response that shifts from one of suffering and overwhelm to one of resourcefulness and energy.

When we talk about lasting weight loss, let’s be clear. Enduring change doesn’t happen overnight. It requires consistent action over time.

To get that consistency, there must be alignment between our thoughts, emotions and actions. And it all starts with our thoughts and, more specifically, our beliefs and interpretations.

And our brains are more powerful than the search engines on the internet. They are also the epitome of confirmation and negativity bias.  So if you ask it a question like, “Why can’t I lose weight?” It’s going to search through all your past experiences to provide an answer. If you say to yourself, “Why don’t I ever have time to exercise?”  Your brain doesn’t question the premise of your question. It just looks for evidence to justify it.

In this episode, I provide an exercise for you to use to deactivate your "Frankenstein" brain, and a set of questions to ask that will create more options and opportunities for you to take action. We can go a lot faster when we don't have one foot on the brake!

In this episode, we explore the question, "Did I choose the right habit to start?" It's one of the most common questions I hear from new clients when selecting from one of the 5 key self-care habits.

Ironically, framing it as the right one automatically creates scarcity while trying to increase certainty. Fortunately, there isn't a right one. Any one of these will put you on the path to lasting weight loss. There's no need to fear that you're missing out on faster weight loss either.

When pursuing weight loss, people come up with many compelling reasons why they want to lose weight, most of them being driven by emotion and the way we feel about ourselves.

We often judge how we look in pictures and feel shame when we look in the mirror at our bodies, believing this to be a way to motivate ourselves to lose the weight. But these negative, fear-based emotions are not a sustainable or healthy way to reach your goals. So today I discuss the concept of approaching weight loss from a place of love rather than fear so you can finally achieve the results you have been hoping for.
