John and Tammy are starting to get momentum in their health and fitness journey. See how starting with a few changes, developing habits around a sustainable lifestyle can lead to incredible results. There are wins and there are challenges. Enjoy!

When most people start their journey they start with the goal to lose weight. Typically that is not a bad place to start as long as you are focused on fat loss. But at some point, you should broaden your view of health and fitness.

I want to emphasize one basic concept: Fat loss comes from what and how much you eat.

Today, we’ll discuss the other fitness modalities that I think everyone over 40 should be working to improve.

Today we meet Patty. She was quite successful in her weight loss, but knew she needed to make other changes to improve her health. And she knew doing so might not help, and may hinder her hopes to continue to lose fat. Enjoy!

Did you know that what you eat can act differently in your body that it does in somebody else? Notice how your friend can eat cheese cake every day and doesn’t have a blood sugar surge, yet you just think about eating it and yours goes up? It turns out, our bodies may have their own set of rules for how to deal with food that is not universal. In this episode, I go through a very interesting study where scientists have worked on solving this problem and then applying an algorithm that can predict how foods will react for an certain individual. Enjoy!

Kim Knight and I discuss the role self-love plays in a health and fitness journey.

Kim Knight – aka the Kiwi Health Detective - is a health and personal transformation coach living in Auckland New Zealand.

Kim shows people how to identify and resolve the absolute root cause of seemingly inexplicable chronic physical pain or fatigue without medication or supplements.

She also specializes in stress and anxiety reduction, and emotional mastery.

She is trained in a number of cutting-edge mind-body therapies including Mickel Therapy, Moativational Medicine, The Emotion Code, mBIT Multiple Brain Integration, Advanced Clearing Energetics and Qigong. 99% of her work with clients is carried out remotely via phone, online webinars and online self-help programs.

Unable to work for over 10 years, her own recovery from CFS, anxiety and clinical depression led her to try over 160 different therapies on her journey back to health.

Her professional training and client experience is extensive, which combined with her first-hand experience of having to get herself well, gives her the ideal offering for clients.

Her work earned her a nomination for finalist for NEXT New Zealand Woman of the Year in 2011.

Listen in as I work with John and Tammy. We discuss alcohol and I help them make changes to their current exercise program (squats).

In the sea of health and fitness information, which is often conflicting, it is difficult to know what is right for you. In this episode, I discuss the way studies are done and why some of them may not apply to you. I also go into how you can apply change in your life and measure the results, and be your own lab rat to figure out what works best for you.

Mike starts seeing health issues cropping up in his friends and recognizes he’s on the same path. Mike starts on a a path to a healthy lifestyle. Listen in as he tells us about his success and how he did it.

With all the press on the different types of diets, it can be quite confusing to know which is best for you. In this episode, I go through a study that looked at the differences in the Low Fat diet and the Low Carbohydrate diet.
