On a very special episode of Practically Healthy, Dr. Melina is joined by Grammy award-winner, Randy Jackson! A host of American Idol who has worked as a musician, singer, record producer, entrepreneur, and advocate for healthy habits, Randy and Melina explore the practical steps that one can take to help keep our head in the game when it comes to weight-management. Randy gets vulnerable for the Practically Healthy audience, sharing intimate details of his struggles with healthy eating, type-two diabetes, fad-diets, and gastric bypass surgery. He reflects on the lessons learned from the process he endured as he stabilized his health and subsequently crafted a routine for sustaining that health. A very real and honest perspective on how truly difficult it can be to change our habits around food and on the complacency that can overcome any of us as we try to get healthier while managing life's daily challenges. Randy has so much going on, whether it be his work in the production industry, his entrepreneurial enterprises spanning a variety of products and industries, his health advocacy, or his work with Dr. Melina.
