Inside each of us, there's a delicate dynamic and profound communication system between our brain, our digestive system, and hormones that work to synchronize the chemical processes that regulate how we store body fat. This is basically our body's inner thermostat, which stimulates or suppresses your appetite by raising or lowering your metabolic rate, which is your body's food to fuel process, in response to how much fat it thinks you should have. The problem is, there are a myriad of factors at play that, for all intents and purposes, wreak havoc with this thermostatic mechanism.

Today I catch up with Jonathan Baylor. Johnathan is the Founder of Wellness Engineering and the world's fastest growing permanent weight loss and diabesity treatment company, called Sane Solution. He authored the New York Times Bestseller, The Calorie Myth and The Set Point Diet, has registered over 26 patents, and has spoken at Fortune 100 companies and TED Conferences for over a decade. His work has been endorsed and implemented by top doctors from Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, and UCLA.

In this episode, we'll discuss The Set Point Diet and how our metabolism adjusts in response to both weight loss and weight gain. We talk about the eat less and exercise more approach and why it is guaranteed to fail. We talk about the hidden factors that determine your weight. This has to do with your brain, your gut, and your hormones, and, as I said, the relationship between those. Then we'll dive into the Sane, S-A-N-E, approach to regulating your metabolism. That stands for Satiety, Aggression, Nutrition, and Efficiency, and we'll talk about the nutrition and lifestyle factors that those apply with. Then lastly, but possibly most importantly, we'll talk about how to develop a weight loss mindset that revolves around self-love. How to navigate the shame cycle and how to stop saying "what the hell," so you can positively impact your body set point for longterm permanent weight loss.
