***ABOUT TODAY'S SHOW!***

Today’s Episode: “Winning at Weight Loss”

Chef AJ welcomes Susanna Hall, a longtime community member who lost over 90 pounds and kept it off — without counting calories, restricting portions, or going hungry.

In this inspiring conversation, you’ll discover:

✅ The single most important shift that helped Susanna finally succeed after years of frustration

✅ Why calorie density is the secret to eating more and weighing less

✅ How community and accountability make consistency possible

✅ What to do when motivation fades and self-doubt creeps in

✅ Why lasting weight loss has nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with structure and support

As Chef AJ shares in The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss, the journey isn’t about deprivation — it’s about liberation from food obsession and guilt. This conversation will show you how to reclaim your energy, confidence, and joy in eating — one choice at a time.  

🌟 Key Takeaway:

You don’t need another diet — you need a roadmap, a system, and a supportive community that helps you stay consistent.

That’s what The Chef AJ & Friends Membership Community is all about.

Join today and begin your own journey through The 5 Pathways of Plant-Based Progress — where every step forward counts.

Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the co-founder of TrueNorth Health Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides medical and chiropractic services, psychotherapy and counseling, as well as massage and bodywork. He is also director of the Center's groundbreaking residential health education program.

Dr. Goldhamer has supervised the fasts of thousands of patients. Under his guidance, the Center has become one of the premier training facilities for doctors wishing to gain certification in the supervision of therapeutic fasting.

Dr. Goldhamer was the principal investigator in two landmark studies. The first: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Hypertension" appeared in the June 2001 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Its publication marked a turning point in the evolution of evidence supporting the benefits of water-only fasting. The second study: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Borderline Hypertension," appeared in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

Currently, Dr. Goldhamer is directing a team that is developing a prospective study, incorporating random assignment and long-term follow-up on the cost and clinical outcomes in the treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure with fasting and a health-promoting diet.

After completing his chiropractic education at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon, Dr. Goldhamer traveled to Australia, where he became licensed as an osteopathic physician. He is the author of The Health Promoting Cookbook and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering The Hidden Force That Undermines Health and Happiness.

Dr. Lissa Rankin, New York Times bestselling author, doctor, researcher, and teacher.

Lissa has published 7 books, 3 of which include Internal Family Systems. Her 8th book, Relationsick, about the health impacts of narcissistic abuse, will come out in the Fall of 2026, and she just signed a book deal for her 9th book, about IFS and boundaries. She writes a Substack The Body Is A Trailhead about relationships, narcissistic abuse, healthy boundaries, recovering from spiritual abuse, healing from spiritual bypassing, and relational recovery: https://lissarankinmd.substack.com/ She’s drip-releasing two unpublished full book manuscripts for her paid subscribers and deeply appreciates anyone willing to patronize her writing.

Lissa offers two IFS-informed ongoing online programs.

Lissa became an IFS therapy client in 2014 and started a daily peer-to-peer parts processing practice with her friend Emma in 2018, a practice she now teaches to others who can't access or afford one-on-one IFS therapy or want to deepen their practice between therapy sessions.

Lissa’s next workshop is titled IFS For Self Healing, A Trauma-Informed Practice For Healing Yourself. https://courses.lissarankin.com/ish-ifs-for-self-healing-weekend This program teaches the basics with simple step-by-step instructions on how to make this process accessible and a safe daily practice.

This November, Lissa will also be hosting IFS For Self-Healing - Peer to Peer Processing, a weekend training for those interested in doing “parts work” using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.https://courses.lissarankin.com/peer-to-peer-home

Lissa has starred in two National Public Television specials, her TEDx talks have been viewed over 6 million times, and she leads workshops, both online and at retreat centers like Esalen, 1440, Omega, and Kripalu.

Scott is the author of Revenge of the Herds, a new book exploring how the animals we eat take their unintended “revenge” on our bodies, minds, and the planet. After losing his father to cancer at just 53 and facing his own wake-up call with obesity, Scott and his family made the dramatic shift to a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. He lost 65 pounds, gained a new outlook on health, and discovered a passion for helping others do the same.

Beyond writing, Scott is also an entrepreneur and founder of Inventor’s Edge, where he has coached over 500 inventors worldwide, and the creator of Swat-N-Scoop, a product successfully brought to market and featured on Amazon Prime’s Buy It Now show.

Scott lives in Dubuque, Iowa with his wife, Beth, and their two daughters. Together, they are committed to living plant-strong and inspiring others to rethink what’s possible for their health, families, and future.

Like many of us, Scott once thought throwing in the occasional salad would magically cancel out the burgers, fries, and milkshakes he loved. At 28, he brushed it off with the thought: “I’ve got plenty of time to deal with this later.” That illusion shattered when his doctor classified him as “obese.” Add to that the heartbreak of losing his father at 53 to cancer, his father-in-law to a similar illness, and watching his mother struggle with rheumatoid arthritis - the wake-up calls could no longer be ignored.

👉 Articles on Entrepreneur.com about being a plant-based entrepreneur: https://www.entrepreneur.com/author/scott-putnam

👉 Amazon Prime Video show, 'Buy It Now': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xV-ogRIi1Q

Scott’s story is proof that it’s never too late to ask yourself one simple question: “How healthy do I want to be?”...and then take the steps to find out.
