Lou Brown is the perfect epitome of how effective the Sum Sanos program is. He was able to achieve his weight loss goal which is to release 50 lbs and is now maintaining a healthier lifestyle. 

Today, we will listen to his weight release journey. 

He will tell us about his daily routine and how productive and efficient his day is now after being successfully able to set mindful habits that made him not just physically, but also emotionally and mentally fit. 

He will also discuss his challenges as he was progressing to his routine and how important it was for him to reinforce positive self-talk. He was able to manage his emotions and considered it a long term journey which played a big role in his success. 

With Sum Sanos, everybody's journey is different and YOU have the ability to decide which healthy habits you want to form. You develop skills during the program and the more you build the muscle, you get stronger. It is a process, it is a consistent application of that. 

These are things that you will learn from this podcast and more. 

So, let's have today as the beginning of your awareness, and take the journey with Sum Sanos to achieve your wellness goals. 

Dr. Linda Wilson, one of our awesome qualified Sum Sanos Coaches, is a graduate in health education and a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine for 20 years. She has a deep love for neuroscience and multiple sensory psycho techniques emphasizing on MIND BODY CONNECTION. Together with our Co-Founder Kate Krieg, they discussed how to create lasting habit changes in this latest podcast. 

As we all know, Kate has a successful weight loss journey embodying the Sum Sanos principles. She will reveal in detail how she was able to manage this for seven years and what she is continually doing to keep it long term. 

As Kate said, "It's so much easier to be ME now than it was before". 

If you want to learn how to love yourself better and you want to make changes to your life right now, this podcast is a wonderful guide for you. In this episode, Dr. Wilson and Kate discussed how you can morph yourself into your preferred identity. 

Most of us are struggling with how we can achieve healthier lifestyles and all-round wellness that we can maintain long term. We’ve tried different diet fads, exercise routines, and even pills but we become disappointed because it doesn’t give us the results that we expect as they are not sustainable (i.e. we end up regaining all the weight we lost). 

How is creating healthy habits more effective compared to those different health fads we see all over the internet nowadays? 

In this podcast our Co-Founder Kate Krieg with Dr. Gina Cleo will discuss: 

• What is a habit and when acquired why does maintaining it became effortless and automatic? How does it contribute to our total wellness?  
• How long does it take to change a habit? 
• Why your personality affects habit change? 
• How exposed are you to the triggers that influence you and your habits? 
• Are self-control and willpower necessary to change a habit? 
• What are the key ingredients to habit development? 
• Do knowledge and awareness change your behaviour towards creating a positive habit? 
• Why consistency is the secret sauce of habit change? 

We all struggle in understanding this concept, and most of the time we are sceptical about it. It is a new year and it is time for us to learn how we can use habits to build and grow our self-efficacy to become a better, new version of us and to achieve our personal, work goals and most importantly to sustain a HEALTHIER lifestyle. 

Have you ever had a day where nothing goes right? 

You had a bad day in the office and when you get home, things turn worse! 

All of us go through different challenges during different stages in our life and sometimes (well.. maybe a lot of the time, WE EAT OUR WAY THROUGH IT!). Daily life can wear you down and we feel defeated that we give in to our comfort foods every time, when we are supposed to be strong, powerful individuals!? Right? 

Do you know that ALL OF US emotionally eat? You're not along... Buy how do you take back control so you can change your life? 

In this episode we discuss: 

What is Emotional Eating? 

It is essentially eating in response to an emotion(positive or negative) but not specifically to satisfy hunger. 

We all do it, some people do it 2x a year, some every day, and it can be triggered by any emotion. 

What is our goal?

It is NOT TO NEVER EMOTIONALLY EAT but  so it doesn't take control of you

We also discuss:

• Identifying what triggers you to emotional eat/drink
• What emotions you are trying to get away from
• What should we do as an alternative to emotional eating
• What is this powerful tool that you can use to avoid too much emotional eating

Dr. Cleo and Kate Krieg will discuss and give us tips on how you can overcome this vicious cycle and be a better, healthier version of you!   

Most of us who go through different weight-loss fads, lose a few pounds at first but it never seems to stick. We may have high demands professionally and personally causing stress, sleep disturbances and often leads to inevitable weight gain. 

Rhonda Kerlew is a Sum Sanos client from Canada, a health professional and an amazing advocate. She talked about her weight loss journey in this podcast. Telling a similar story about most people who struggle with their weight as well, especially with many outside factors playing a part in our effort to maintain a healthy weight. 

As a lifelong lover of learning, Rhonda searched (even obsessed) for many ways to help her achieve her weight goals. She read many books, studied for years but nothing ever clicked, until she came to find Sum Sanos. As a health professional, she gave much importance to the fact that Sum Sanos is scientifically based. She always wanted to find a program that has a certain level of credibility behind it, and was enlightened that Sum Sanos was a perfect fit for her.

As a healthcare consumer, she feels strongly that with different weight loss products everywhere, our demand for high level scientific evidence for a programs success must increase. We can’t  just rely on celebrity endorsements from the latest diet or program or just because somebody says it is working for them. We need to select a program with the highest scientific evidence and Dr. Cleo’s research within Sum Sanos convinced her that this is the answer that she searched for a very long time. 

Rhonda explains:

“ I find that the change in me with Sum Sanos is so deeply ingrained in my core” 

“ I now have a high awareness of what I need and what I don’t” 

“ I go through the modules, I learn and implement. I take my time. I reflect. No one is saying: “ I want you to do that and I want you to eat this..” and because of this I don’t feel like I’m ON a program. 

“It teaches you how to accept yourself and see things for what/how they really are and gives you awareness of yourself. It helps you achieve goals. You are putting in the right amount of effort and it doesn’t become an obsession. It sticks and you become the NEW YOU!“
