Welcome to Episode 4 of the Dr. Mike Show. In this episode we are joined by Men’s Health Fitness Advisor and physical therapist, Bill Hartman P.T., C.S.C.S. This past year, I helped Bill lose 37lbs leading up to his 50th birthday. We discuss things he learned from his transformation and how he has been able to keep the weight off.

In This Episode You’ll Learn

• How transforming your body leads into other areas of your life
• How meditation helps fight food cravings
• How Bill ended up losing 37 pounds when he only thought he needed to lose 20lbs
• Creating post weight loss goals that guarantee you never lose your abs
• The one thing you should stop doing - related to your health and fitness

The Dr. Mike Show is Brought to You by Neuro Coffee (TM)

Neuro Coffee (TM) is a high octane brain supplement infused into great coffee.

It contains a patented extract from the coffee fruit, which has been clinically shown to increase levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) after taking. BDNF acts to grow and repair neurons in the brain and the body. As we age, BDNF decreases. Age related diseases of the brain (e.g. age related memory loss) are often associated with low levels of BDNF. Aging in general, stress, and lack of sleep also negatively impact BDNF.

Coffee drinkers never miss their morning cup of coffee, and now with Neuro Coffee (TM) you can enjoy that morning ritual even more knowing that it is helping your brain health. Neuro Coffee (TM) is roasted in small batches. Click here to start getting your monthly supply of Neuro Coffee.
