Have you ever wished someone would just hand you a plan for whatever it is you want to accomplish so that you knew EXACTLY what steps to take?

Whether it's building a house, or figuring out how to organize your life or starting a brand new business, there are a million different situations in life where sometimes the thought of getting started becomes SO overwhelming that you end up getting totally paralyzed by indecision.

Every step feels like a mystery. It's scary. And confusing. And EXHAUSTING.

So you do nothing.

And those are the times in life where it's SO important to have a PLAN. A roadmap. A step-by-step set of instructions for exactly what to do. Because without it, you start feeling lost.

And the process of losing weight and getting healthy is no different. I think sometimes we think it should be so easy and so straightforward, but it's actually not

And so today, that's the gift I want to give you for the New Year--a step-by-step plan for reaching all of your health and weight loss goals in the next 12 months, so that you know EXACTLY what to do in what order, and what to expect along the way.

It might be the most practical episode I've ever recorded, and you'll probably want to take notes. So grab a piece of paper and let's dive in.

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of pharmaceuticals or the way Big Pharma—and Big Food, for that matter—have not only corrupted the health industry, but directly caused the massive health and obesity crisis in this country.

And while we talk a LOT here on this podcast about how you can begin healing your body by eating the right things, one thing we don’t really talk about is what natural alternatives exist for replacing the drugs that are still taking up space in your medicine cabinet.

That’s why I’m SO excited about today’s episode. If nothing else, it’s DEFINITELY going to give you some serious food for thought.

So let’s dig in.

Ever had the urge to eat your feelings?

Of course you have. We all have. Emotional eating, especially for women, is a big deal.

It’s also one of the biggest reasons women fail to be successful at losing weight and getting health, or at least one of the biggest reasons they claim.

But what if there’s more to emotional eating than meets the eye?

The answer is probably going to surprise you.

We talk a lot on this podcast about how you can improve your health by changing what you eat, by eliminating sugar and processed crap, and getting more protein and healthy fat.

And that’s pretty huge.

But one thing we don’t always talk about is all those other toxins that are finding their way into your system from sources OTHER than food.

But maybe we SHOULD. Because it’s a big deal.

And after talking to today’s podcast guest, Lousie Digby, I’m even more convinced that this is a topic every woman concerned about their hormones needs to think about.

So let’s dive in.

If you’ve listened to this podcast for any amount of time, you already know I’m obsessed with gut health.

But I PROMISE you’ve never heard it explained like this before.

And today’s episode is going to stretch your brain and get you FIRED UP because we are getting super nerdy over here!

My guest is Josh Dech, a former paramedic turned gut health detective, and everything he has to share is not only incredibly interesting but so incredibly practical and relevant to every single one of us, and I can’t wait for you to dig into this fascinating interview!

----------
Josh is an ex-paramedic and Holistic Nutritionist, specializing in Crohn’s and Colitis, and other related gut issues. After reversing over 250 cases of Crohn’s and colitis (previously thought to be impossible to fix), he’s been connected to some of the world’s most renowned doctors. He’s since been recruited to the Priority Health Academy as a medical lecturer, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and inflammatory bowel disease; and has launched a top 5% globally ranked podcast.

How much do you really think about aging, and what it means for your body, and particularly for your hormones?

I think so often we take it for granted that we’re getting older, but don’t always realize how much we can do to make this midlife phase life easier, healthier, and more comfortable as we go through the inevitable changes that come with perimenopause and menopause.

But there actually is a LOT we can do, not just to improve our quality of life right now, but to keep our body strong and healthy for the next several decades.

And that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about today, with our special guest, hormone expert Nicki Williams.

Nicki is the author of It’s Not You, It’s Your Hormones; The Essential Guide for Women Over 40 to Fight Fat, Fatigue and Hormone Havoc.

Her new book, Life After Menopause is now OUT!
