This episode comes from a listener request. Our friend wrote about a podcast he was listening to and a concept of using will power to overcome eating issues. He was stumped that they were talking about how you can't use willpower to overcome eating issues and was wondering what we thought about that! 
Well friend, we definitely agreed with the pod you were listening too. If willpower is used for exercising personal choice and personal power without negative feelings, and because you want to experience something other than what you have been, then yes, we can work through eating issues. But when willpower is used as a way to "force" or "will" yourself out of something, this isn't going to work as well. 
Listen in as we break this down!

We see too much stressing out over eating on vacation! August is a big month of last minute summer getaways before school starts. So lets dig in to the important topic and reduce anxiety around vacation eating!

We tackle a concern and question from a client around cholesterol! His concerns and confusions were around what he found on the internet! No surprise!

We break down so recent bogus claims around weight loss, probiotics, and fiber and sugar. In the huff of our madness around these topics, we failed to mention where natural sources of inulin can be found. Below is some clarity on other areas that inulin is found naturally:

- garlic
- asparagus
- bananas
- artichoke hearts
- Beware of powders and large added amounts in foods... as these can cause cramping and gas. This is a classic case, that more at one time is not better.

A listener suggested we talk about ozempic and mounjaro. So we did! Listen in as we discuss the side effects and who is potentially a candidate. But also a little of what to expect.

We hear this a lot!!! "Body acceptance is giving up"......NOPE...nope its not. In fact, its exactly the opposite. It might be giving up on forcing a square peg into a circle, and giving up on all the bullshit out there, but it is NOT giving up on yourself!!!
