Beyond the Basics Health Academy welcomes Michael Tamez to the show to share his incredibly powerful story with our listeners.

He was morbidly obese, had severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure, advanced gum disease, and a whole lot of resentment for himself. Not only did he reverse all of those conditions, but he also transformed the dysfunctional relationship he had with food, his lifestyle, and his true self. This experience was intensified tremendously when he lost five family members in just eighteen months. Because of the tremendous impact, these losses had on his life; Michael was forced to have unforeseen breakthroughs with the things that were the hardest to deal with. Those experiences were necessary for him to appreciate truly and understand where he is at in his life right now.

After experiencing all of these devastating and life transforming deaths, he was highly inspired to write a transformative book about life! During his journey, Tamez discovered his life's purpose. His mission is to educate people who want to experience fully living a healthy and balanced life by reaching all their wellness goals.

Tamez has written many professional articles and has been featured as an expert in numerous publications including Mind Body Green, Food Matters TV, Spirit Science, Living Green Magazine, and Wake up World. He has also been interviewed on several local, and national TV and radio show as well.

By supporting their health through nutrition and balanced living, Michael inspires a permanent and transformative shift in the way people eat, think, feel, live and love.He comes on the podcast to talk about his journey and his book.

He comes on the podcast to discuss his journey and his book. Drawing from this incredible health transformation, Michael published his debut book, Transformative Nutrition.

Dr. Meaghan and Dr. Ron Kirschling are back for the third part of our book club for Food Politics by Marion Nestle.

Our discussion includes the following chapters in the book

• PART THREE EXPLOITING KIDS, CORRUPTING SCHOOLS
  • Starting Early: Underage Consumers
  • Pushing Soft Drinks: "Pouring Rights
• PART FOUR DEREGULATING DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
  • Science versus Supplements: "A Gulf of Mutual Incomprehension."
  • Making Health Claims Legal: The Supplement Industry's War with the FDA
  • Deregulation and Its Consequences

More information about the book Food Politics:

"We all witness, in advertising and on supermarket shelves, the fierce competition for our food dollars. In this engrossing exposé, Marion Nestle goes behind the scenes to reveal how the competition really works and how it affects our health. The abundance of food in the United States--enough calories to meet the needs of every man, woman, and child twice over--has a downside. Our over-efficient food industry must do everything possible to persuade people to eat more--more food, more often, and in larger portions--no matter what it does to waistlines or well-being. Like manufacturing cigarettes or building weapons, making food is big business. Food companies in 2000 generated nearly 900 billion in sales. They have stakeholders to please, shareholders to satisfy, and government regulations to deal with. It is nevertheless shocking to learn precisely how food companies lobby officials, co-opt experts, and expand sales by marketing to children, members of minority groups, and people in developing countries. We learn that the food industry plays politics as well as or better than other industries, not least because so much of its activity takes place outside the public view. Editor of the 1988 Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health, Nestle is uniquely qualified to lead us through the maze of food industry interests and influences. She vividly illustrates food politics in action: watered-down government dietary advice, schools pushing soft drinks, diet supplements promoted as if they were First Amendment rights. When it comes to the mass production and consumption of food, strategic decisions are driven by economics--not science, not common sense, and certainly not health. No wonder most of us are thoroughly confused about what to eat to stay healthy.An accessible and balanced account, Food Politics will forever change the way we respond to food industry marketing practices. By explaining how much the food industry influences government nutrition policies and how cleverly it links its interests to those of nutrition experts, this path-breaking book helps us understand more clearly than ever before what we eat and why."

Dr. Mary Wingo is here to further talk about the social issues of our time that have the biggest impact on our health: the uncontrolled stress of modern life and its devastating effects on our bodies and our communities

Human stress costs our communities trillions of dollars every year. In addition, millions of people die prematurely, or suffer disability needlessly because of preventable exposure to stress.

She also wants to tell you about the 20 years it took her to "really" understand human stress, and how she was initially reluctant to write her book covering the social, political, and economic implications of stress in the modern world.

Her book, The Impact of the Human Stress Response, is a humanitarian work intended to educate the public worldwide about the true causes and costs of preventable human stress. The study of stress and adaptation is probably the most complicated and fascinating field in science. After more than a hundred years of study, most scientists are still mystified by the mechanisms of human adaptation, so this book is of great importance to the general public and will transform many, many lives.

Mary Wingo has been a permanent resident in Ecuador for 2 years. She trained as a Ph.D. scientist and is a business person originally from the United States.

Today she is coming back on the show to talk specifically about two of the five major causes of stress in the modernized world (the loss of social capital and social equality). The five stressors are:

1. The loss of working mental capacity

2. The loss of social capital

3. The loss of social equality

4. The depletion of the microbiome

5. Chemical stress

I can't thank her enough for coming back on the show and sharing her knowledge and expertise. This is a wonderful conversation that I am glad that we were able to have to bring awareness to the stress of social inequality.

Dr. Meaghan welcomes Randi Fine to the show to talk about an important topic. She is here to talk about how Narcissistic Personality Disorder plays a toll on relationships and what to do if you have been in an abusive relationship with a narcissistic personality.

She is the host of A Fine Time for Healing, a show about all facets of human wellness; emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual. She is also the author of two books, and just finished the manuscript for her third book on her expertise, Pathological Narcissist Abuse, called Close Encounters of the Worst Kind.

Here is what Randi Fine says about her work and passion:

"My focus is on healing people at the core level, which usually begins in childhood, so they can overcome the issues of their past and achieve the life they were always meant to live. There are many people in the world struggling with day to day life and relationships, unable to figure out why. I am astonished at how much of society's problems stem from childhood issues, but I work hard to bring awareness to it."
