Weight gain is something most of us have struggled with, or will struggle with at some point in our lives - whether we are male or female.   Is it just me, or does it seems harder with each year to keep it off?   In this episode, I chat with one of the most renowned physicians in the US, Dr. Lauren Streicher about why we gain weight (especially in mid-life & menopause), and HOW to get rid of it in a healthy way.  

We are all beautiful as we are, and it is NOT necessary to have six pack abs or be a size 2 to find love.  What this episode will tell you is how to get to the BEST and healthiest version of you, because how you feel impacts everything relationship you're in (especially if you're dating or in a romantic one).   Here are just some of the topics we covered:

1) How does metabolism change throughout life?  This answer blew my mind, btw!

2) Why sleep is MORE important than ever in the 'battle of the bulge.'

3) Where the "muffin top" comes from, and why...

4) What men REALLY think about our thighs, butts, and cellulite (it's hilarious)...

5) What's the WORST type of fat to gain and why?

6) A great substitute for a date that keeps you healthy and happy!

7) How you can manage 'drinking' calories in a better way (I have started to do this, and it's magical)!

8) What you should offer to bring to a party and WHY it benefits you

9) Lauren's FAVORITE book for weight loss (listen to find out)
