Food can be friend or foe. It all depends on our experiences and our relationship with food. Sometimes, food can even be an addiction, causing moments of purge and patterns of overeating. Tonight on Dr. Lo Radio, we're covering a heavy topic that many of us have experience with: bingeing. My guest, Dr. Glenn Livingston, has personal experience in this area, as a psychologist, a worker in the food industry, and as a formerly overweight individual. We'll dive into the patterns around food and bingeing, plus actionable ways that you can break your bad relationship with food. Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

You might not know this, but part of the reason I stick to a Paleo diet is because of my issues with my thyroid. My friend and my guest tonight, Elle Russ, literally wrote the book on how the Paleo diet can help those with thyroid problems – and even those without. Tonight on Dr. Lo Radio, we'll dive into the mechanics of the Paleo diet and why it has such an impact on thyroid healthy. Elle Russ is a writer, health/life coach, and host of the Primal Blueprint Podcast. She is becoming the leading voice of thyroid health in the burgeoning Evolutionary Health Movement (also referred to as Paleo, Primal, or Ancestral Health). She sits on the advisory board of The Primal Health Coach Program created by Mark Sisson, bestselling author of The Primal Blueprint. Elle wrote The Paleo Thyroid Solution after consulting with over two dozen endocrinologists, internal medicine specialists, and general practice MDs...but her thyroid condition was only getting worse - and nothing from doctors resembled a solution, or even hope. Exasperated and desperate, Elle took control of her own health and resolved two severe bouts of hypothyroidism on her own – including an acute Reverse T3 problem. Through a devoted paleo/primal lifestyle, intensive personal experimentation, and a radically modified approach to thyroid hormone replacement therapy…Elle went from fat, foggy, and fatigued – to fit, focused, and full of life!

Digestive health is so key to feeling wholly healthy, both in your body and mind. So when things get stopped up, there's no limit to what can go awry. My friend Dr. Megan Taylor spends her days thinking about digestive help and making things flow more smoothly all up (or down) in there. Tonight on Dr. Lo Radio, we're chatting about the dreaded c-word – constipation. Whether you know it or not, you've experience constipation in your lifetime, and there's so many things you can do to help yourself get back on track. In this case, regular and ordinary isn't a bad thing. We'll dive into the best ways of treating constipation yourself, why it happens, and what you want to see in your (hopefully, daily) bowel movements. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Dr. Megan Taylor discovered natural medicine during a previous career in environmental planning, and went on to receive her degree in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine (previously National College of Natural Medicine).

Recovering from a brain injury – a topic that many of are affected by – can also come down to what you're putting in your body. My guest tonight, Cavin Balaster, actually had to rebuild his brain function after a shocking and devastating brain injury. And through functional medicine and nutrition, he was able to recover amazingly from his tragic accident. I can't wait for you to hear Cavin's story. It's so inspiring and insightful, while also really making us think about the importance of what we put in our bodies, no matter how healthy we are. Tonight on Dr. Lo Radio, we're chatting all about brain recovery and health – and what you can do today to keep your brain in top form. In 2011, Cavin survived a two-story fall, was comatose for twelve days, diagnosed with a diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and was given less than a 10% chance of recovery. Once awake, he suffered from severe brain fog, memory loss, breathing problems, double-vision, serious infections, and was ultimately unable to eat, walk, or talk for several months. With the support of family and friends, he pushed himself through various treatments and worked to regain most of his functioning. Throughout his recovery, he documented each important event, corresponding with practitioners to understand metabolism, neuro-metabolism, and mechanisms of neuroplastiticity in order to find the most effective methods to rehabilitate his brain and body after a devastating brain injury. Today, Cavin is a speaker and educator and it has become his mission to help people feed their brains nutritionally, cognitively, and spiritually.
