Coach Be: Daily

A note on the sad passing of David A. Arnold.

I didn't know David, but he did us all the favor of making himself transparent and accessible. So when I met him, he felt like a friend.

Please take care of yourselves.

Insulin therapy, a treatment for diabetes, can cause unwanted weight gain.

This episode will cover the link between diabetes, insulin, and gaining weight, as well as how to manage and minimize weight gain.

Insulin is a natural hormone produced in the pancreas. When we eat, our pancreas releases insulin to help our bodies produce energy from sugars. Insulin is a vital part of metabolism. Without it, your body would cease to function.

Weight gain is a common symptom of diabetes.

Compared with people who do not have diabetes, young adults with type-1 diabetes have a higher risk of becoming overweight or obese. To wit, according to World Health Organization estimates (2003), 90 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are either overweight or obese.

Establishing healthy lifestyle habits can help people:

In today’s episode we’ll cover everything you need to know about dietary fats, including how to make healthier choices without sacrificing taste.

By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in our diets, we can improve our mood, boost our energy and well-being, and even lose unwanted body fat, easier.

“Good” fats

Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are known as the “good fats” because they are good for your heart, your cholesterol, and your overall health. These fats can help to:

Food sources include:

“Bad” fats

Artificial trans fats are considered dangerous. This is the worst type of fat since it not only raises bad LDL cholesterol but also lowers good HDL levels. Artificial trans fats can also create inflammation, are linked to heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions and contribute to insulin resistance. Aim to eliminate it from your diet.

Primary sources of Trans fat include:

Saturated fat. While not as harmful as trans fat, saturated fat can raise bad LDL cholesterol and too much can negatively impact heart health, so it’s best limited in our diets as well.

Primary sources of Saturated fat include:

Those of you who have moved, after years living in one city, will feel my pain.  Moving requires change in key relationships, like finding a new barber (ouch), baby sitters, and so many other new spaces.

I’ve recently been “gym shopping,” which for me is similar to finding a new church to call home.

Here's a glimpse into my experience, what I chose and what I learned.

Dealing with ADHD can be incredibly frustrating.  Both on the part of the parent, as well as the child suffering from the impairment.

My guest in this episode is Dr. Ericka Goodwin, board certified psychiatrist and Eating For Abs student.  I asked Ericka to join me to discuss her incredible children's book, "How Amari Learned to Love School Again," as well to help me understand the impact of ADHD on children and the family as a whole.

I shared my own experience, and got a great understanding of the variety of treatments for ADHD, the difference between the types of medications, and the many treatment options which include therapy, medications, and school (and at home) accommodations.

This is a great episode to share with your family.

Due to the volume of real conversations and consistent hard work we've done together, Whitney and I have become good friends.

This happens often especially in 1-on-1 coaching, which is what was required to help Whitney make the behavioral changes that kept her off hypertension medications, and eventually helped her lose 38 pounds and keep them off.

The first step was convincing her doctor to afford her the chance to make changes at home.

Here's how it worked out.

The impact of Alzheimer's disease on a family can feel devastating.

Given the current state of affairs, with no cure in sight, the prudent move for families today is the prioritization of preventative practices.

I asked my friend Erika to share her family's experience with Alzheimer's disease on this episode.  It is my hope that we'll reach families in time with a message that will move us to action.

When I met Olympia she was helping produce an event in Los Angeles.  I was immediately impressed with her organization and leadership skills, and THEN found out that she was an alum of my undergraduate Alma Mater, Howard University.

After she made it clear that I am now considered and old head (I had no clue what the hand signs and spirit calls were, as they were apparently invented well after my graduation), we found common ground in our passion for wellness and community building.

Olympia is the founder of SÜPRMARKT, a pop up organic market in Los Angeles, but she's not stopping there...

Take a listen to her journey and consider supporting her awesome effort to "Keep Slauson Fresh."
