Well, my friends, the holidays are upon us, and as we all know, the holidays in so many ways are synonymous with food. We have spent the last few weeks talking about food. Hunger diets and weight loss.

Today, we're going to continue in that vein to talk about a very important aspect of healthy dieting that is often missed in the diet, weight loss narrative, an aspect that in my mind is more important to our success than the food that we eat.

In this episode of Health Bite, Dr. Adrienne Youdim emphasizes the importance of mindset when it comes to weight loss and healthy eating. She argues that our words and thoughts have a significant impact on our success in achieving our goals. Dr. Adrienne Youdim encourages listeners to shift their language from one of restriction to one of abundance.

What You'll Learn from This Episode

• Determine the importance of mindset and language in successful weight loss and healthy eating habits.
• Find out how viewing food in terms of abundance rather than restriction can lead to more sustainable dietary choices.
• Determine the negative effects of labeling setbacks and deviations from a diet plan, and learn how to reframe them with self-acceptance and self-compassion.

"Your views and your words matter more to your successful weight loss than the diet that you consume." - Dr. Adrienne Youdim

How many of you would like to live to 100? 

Dr. Adrienne Youdim, personally might be okay with 95. But seeing the joyful centenarians in the new Netflix documentary, The Secret of the Blue Zones, made her think twice. 

In this week's episode, we will talk about some of the features uncovered by the research of the Blue Zones, the healthiest areas across the globe that contain the longest-living humans. And we'll see how we might extrapolate their lifestyles to ours. 

What You’ll Learn From This Episode 

• Learn about the features uncovered by the research of the Blue Zones, the healthiest areas across the globe that contain the longest-living humans. 
• Find out how to incorporate the 80% rule of moderation in eating to promote longevity. 
• Embrace the four buckets of eat, move, connect, and outlook for Health and Longevity

Eat until you are 80% full - practicing moderation in our eating habits can contribute to a longer and healthier life." - Adrienne Youdim

The 4 Buckets of Health and Longevity

1. Eat: This bucket focuses on how and what we eat. It includes the 80% rule of moderation, favoring a plant-based diet that does not vilify carbs, and drinking modest amounts of alcohol.
2. Move: This bucket emphasizes incorporating movement into daily life. It highlights the importance of movement being baked into the culture and day-to-day activities, such as sitting on the floor, gardening, and using the body for transportation.
3. Connect: This bucket emphasizes the importance of social connections and community. It includes putting family first, living in the community, and finding ways to enhance social circles and support networks.
4. Outlook: This bucket focuses on changing the way we see and experience the world. It includes stress management, finding ways to unwind, having faith (which can be religious or a belief in a higher power), and living with purpose.
