  • Body Kindness by Rebecca Scritchfield
    Body Kindness Rebecca Scritchfield is the author of Body Kindness. In this episode, we discuss the Biggest Looser white paper that shed light on why so many contestants regained the weight. It is a message of compassion that helps us understand how our weight on the scale is so much more complicated than just calories in and calories out.

  • Is the Keto Diet right for you?

    The Keto Diet: What is it? Is it a fad? Is it good or bad for someone with diabetes? Is it dangerous long term? Is the Keto flu a real thing? Or is it all just another fad diet?

    I had the opportunity to learn from three medical experts on the topic of the Keto Diet. They knew their science and explained Keto in the most unbiased way.

    The best part...is they weren't trying to sell me protein powders, or magic Ketogenesis powders.

    What a breath of fresh air!

    I learned that Keto actually can help many, and it can also be very hurtful for others.

    In this episode I share what I learned to help you decide if Keto is right for you.
