As we engage in a journey of losing weight, most of the time, we’re already sabotaging ourselves without us even knowing it.

We tend to restrict ourselves of what should be and what shouldn’t. We work so hard to the point that we’re already running after perfectionism, not effectiveness.

“It’s as if I’m not capable. Why can’t I lose weight?”

“I cannot afford to eat more. I’m afraid I won’t be making any progress.”

You sabotage your success each time you’re approaching this without self-acceptance and a new mindset.

Be in for a treat as we learn how we can avoid setting ourselves up for disappointments. Join Dr. Adrienne as she educates us about our saboteurs today.

Dr. Adrienne Youdim is a board-certified Internist and is the host of the podcast Health Bite. She specializes in medical weight loss and nutrition, and she is aiming to transform the weight loss narrative into one that is both empowering and compassionate – inspiring people to live more physically and emotionally fulfilling lives through evidence-based strategies that actually show results.

Through her podcast, Dr. Adrienne debunks all myths in the current weight loss culture and supports people in living the life they deserve as they work on becoming the best version of themselves.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne enumerates the top 10 ways in which we sabotage our weight loss goals as she shares tips on what we should do in order to avoid that sabotage.

What you will learn from this episode:

• Discover the top 10 ways in which we sabotage our weight loss goals;
• Learn 10 action steps on how you can win against each saboteur; and
• Find out how self-acceptance coupled with awareness help you move towards achieving your goals in life and weight loss

“Awareness is the first step. Once you’re armed with the knowing, then you can set your mind on the doing – doing the work necessary to prevent your saboteur from taking hold and sabotaging your success.”– Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Key Takeaways:

“I have often said that our relationship with food is really a mirror; it is a symbol of our relationship with ourselves. And it holds true in terms of our saboteurs as well. The ways in which we sabotage our weight loss goals often mirror the ways in which we sabotage ourselves.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

“Keep in mind that we need not be perfect in order to be effective. Strive for effective, not perfect.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Most people who start engaging in intermittent fasting practices either aim to lose weight or change their body composition. 

However, more often than not, we are actually unaware that there’s so much more to the benefits, aside from the fact that it helps us lose fats.

Fasting helps us become more aware of and in tune with what true intrinsic hunger feels like.

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project, and international speaker, with over 10 million views for her second TEDx talk (Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique). 

In this episode, Cynthia educates us about intermittent fasting as she discusses its benefits alongside the things we should take note of before engaging in this practice.

What you will learn from this episode:

• Why it’s a must for us to take bio-individuality into account when thinking about doing fasting;
• Things you should consider as you determine what kind of fast you want to engage in; and
• The health benefits of intermittent fasting, and why it could be the perfect thing for you to try as you engage in a healthier living 

“We have to give ourselves grace. Each day is an opportunity to start anew. If you had a day yesterday where you made some choices that were not aligned with the direction you want to head in today, you have the opportunity to get things back and better aligned.” – Cynthia Thurlow

How can we balance a desire for healthy weight with body positivity and positive self acceptance?

There’s no point in denying that there has always been a social stigma around people who are of excess weight. It got so bad to the point that even wanting to lose pounds becomes an embarrassing action to take. We see excess weight as something that’s so negative. We take an approach of losing it with hate.

Nevertheless, regardless of what the society says, we should remind ourselves that it is only with kindness that we’ll get to live an effective way of losing weight.

Find a comfortable place and relax as we all move forward towards accepting both our inner and physical state.

Dr. Adrienne Youdim is a board-certified Internist and is the host of the podcast Health Bite. She specializes in medical weight loss and nutrition, and she is aiming to transform the weight loss narrative into one that is both empowering and compassionate – inspiring people to live more physically and emotionally fulfilling lives through evidence-based strategies that actually show results.

Through her podcast, Dr. Adrienne debunks all myths in the current weight loss culture and supports people in living the life they deserve as they work on becoming the best version of themselves.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne shares the most effective way of approaching weight loss as she talks about getting into that space of body positivity through self-acceptance, self-compassion, and mindset shifts.

What you will learn from this episode:

• Recognize the rampant presence of body negativity in our society nowadays;
• Discover the consequences body dissatisfaction brings to people, as well as the benefits of weight loss in various aspects of one’s well being;
• Understand how important it is for you to approach your weight loss journey with kindness towards oneself

“It's not all about weight, it really isn't, but when we change our relationship with food, we change our relationship with ourselves. When we put time for cooking, prepping, we are making a statement that we matter and we are worth the time and the effort that it takes to care for ourselves.”

– Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Key Takeaways:

“Having a goal does not mean that we don't accept ourselves as we are right now. We can have self-acceptance and still strive to do better.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

“When we can meet ourselves in our moments of imperfection with kindness, with compassion, we are more likely to be able to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and move forward with our goal.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

“Let's start small, because small changes, when done consistently, result in big impact.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

At some point in our life, we’ll all go through heartbreaks and breakups that will indirectly lead us to realize how bad we’re selling ourselves short all this time.

There will come a time when you’ll realize, that’s enough. It’s about time to make change happen for yourself, for your own life.

But let’s face it. We’re humans, and sometimes, change scares us.

Nevertheless, what your limiting beliefs have been telling you isn’t who you really are.

Stop living life in a body that doesn’t belong to you in the first place. Go towards the life you’ve always dreamt about.

Alex Youdim is that brother Dr. Adrienne mentioned in the “Do Something Hard So That You Know You CAN” episode of Health Bite. He’s a goal-oriented guy who is committed to the process of losing 100lbs with the help of a passionate mindset. Alex inspires people in their own weight loss journey by posting his milestones on Instagram.

In this episode, Alex shares his inspirational fitness journey as he and Dr. Adrienne talk about the setbacks and myths around transformation alongside the importance of mindset in one’s journey towards weight loss.

What you will learn from this episode:

• Understand why motivation isn’t necessarily needed in your journey towards making change;
• Find out how destructive self-sabotage is and why you should avoid it; and
• Discover what it takes for you to effectively lose weight without having to sacrifice your own self just to achieve success

 
Key Takeaways:

“This is life. Things happen in life. Things are going to go that don’t work out your way. If you’re gonna live life, the ticket for admission to real life is dealing with these things, and dealing with these things means taking active control of your life.” – Alex Youdim

“You can look at others, but before you look outward and try to change the outward world, you need to focus internally.” – Alex Youdim

“Your comfort zone will kill you. Comfort is the enemy of progress. Growth happens outside of your comfort zone. Growth happens when you do the things you don’t want to do.”  – Alex Youdim

Key Takeaways:

“Note that protein requirements actually go up as we get older. Increase your protein. And if you can't get it through food, get it through high-quality supplements. A word of caution, though.

Have you ever wanted to consume something so bad that you already had this desire to go back for more and more and more, despite knowing that by the end of it, you might get sick?

Did you, like most people of this time, get in the habit of repeatedly hitting the pantry while binging on Netflix for the past two years in this pandemic?

Do you find yourself having a hard time letting your sweets go as if eating one to three pieces won’t be enough to satisfy the cravings you have for these?

Consumptions like these could lead to an addictive habit of having excess dopamine intake, and I tell you, being addicted to the consumption of any form isn’t how someone lives a life of good health.

Sit back and relax as Dr. Adrienne relates dopamine to our consumption levels, and be ready for a wonderful treat that can help you deal with the increase in your consumption that has already become addictive!

Dr. Adrienne Youdim is a board-certified Internist and is the host of the podcast Health Bite. She specializes in medical weight loss and nutrition, and she is aiming to transform the weight loss narrative into one that is both empowering and compassionate – inspiring people to live more physically and emotionally fulfilling lives through evidence-based strategies that actually show results.

Through her podcast, Dr. Adrienne debunks all myths in the current weight loss culture and supports people in living the life they deserve as they work on becoming the best version of themselves.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne talks about the neuroscience of addiction as she shares the effects dopamine has in our body, especially in our system of consumption.

What you will learn from this episode:

• Dive deeper into what dopamine is and know how it can leverage the addictive potential of a substance;
• Discover why it’s a must for us to understand the drive we have in relation to excess consumption in order for us to change our behavior with regards to addiction; and
• Find out how you can naturally put your consumption into a moderated level without falling into the traps of excess dopamine present in today’s world.

“We live in an abundant, easy-access dopamine excess world. It requires mindfulness to have the awareness of this fact and to moderate our consumption, whatever that consumption may be. But with intention, we can manage the addictive potential of our environment and boost feelings of pleasure and reward naturally.”

– Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Key Takeaways:

“The thing that drives us to eat more, drinks more, smokes more, sex more, scroll more is all the same, and understanding that drive is important to learning how to change our behavior.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

“Dopamine determines the addictive potential of a substance. The faster and the greater the release of dopamine from the “drug”, the more addictive potential of that drug. So fast, large dopamine release in the brain equals higher risk for addiction.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Many of us have heard a "fact" about food that we gullibly believed to be true only to discover later that it was untrue.

Nutrition and food have long been associated with myths and misconceptions.

We tend to be mindless when it comes to food as long as it satiates our hunger, as long as it fulfills our cravings.

How do we live a healthier life in relation to the food we eat? How do we avoid falling for the misinformation that surrounds products disguised as healthy intakes?

In a world where innovations come to life every now and then, it’s a must to be mindful of what our meals are made of and how each affects us.

Sit back and relax as Dr. Adrienne debunks food myths in today’s episode of Health Bite.

Dr. Adrienne Youdim is a board-certified Internist and is the host of the podcast Health Bite. She specializes in medical weight loss and nutrition, and she is aiming to transform the weight loss narrative into one that is both empowering and compassionate – inspiring people to live more physically and emotionally fulfilling lives through evidence-based strategies that actually show results.

Through her podcast, Dr. Adrienne debunks all myths in the current weight loss culture and supports people in living the life they deserve as they work on becoming the best version of themselves.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne addresses some common bogus food claims and food myths as she shares data from numerous studies to support her claim and help people live healthier life.

What you will learn from this episode:

●       Find out about the biggest food myths we’ve been living with in our daily life;

●       Discover why a detox drink isn’t naturally needed to cleanse the body and why you shouldn’t vilify carbs; and

●       Understand how the use of coconut oil became bogus, as well as why you should be careful of products disguised as healthy foods

“Trust your gut. If something sounds super sensational or fabricated or extreme, don't be afraid to question it, no matter how adamant the preacher of the message. There is so much fake news when it comes to nutrition, to good nutrition, so don't be fooled and trust your intuition.”

– Dr. Adrienne Youdim


Key Takeaways:

“We don't need a drink to detox us. Our bodies have been created in God's glory to detox us 24/7.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

“I'm not saying not to eat it if you love it, but don't eat it because you think it's healthy, because it's not.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

“When you're eliminating the carbohydrate food group, you're invariably increasing other macronutrients like protein, and protein is highly satiating. Higher protein in the diet does curb hunger by curbing hunger hormones. At the same time, it helps preserve muscle mass, which maintains our metabolism. But that being said, it does not mean that we should vilify carbs. It does not mean that carbohydrates are bad. And of course, not all carbs are the same.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

After two years of having to live around the circumstances of this pandemic, we cannot deny that we’ve all fallen into a space of fatigue where living life seems to be a never-ending burden to face already.

Do you feel like there’s no light at the end of this hell already, that this, too, is how our future is going to be?

At some point, we lost a hobby, a job, and even a member of our family. We all lost two years of our life to this pandemic.

Nevertheless, may we never get so tired to the point that it is already ourselves that we’re going to lose here.

Dr. Samineh I. Shaheem is a Cross-cultural Psychology / Leadership Professor, Learning & Development Consultant, and is a Keynote Speaker who helps people reach their greatest potential through customized personal and professional growth opportunities and education. She’s been in the industry for nearly 25 years now, aiming to spread the application of psychological and adult educational principles and practices in one’s life.

“You have a choice and controllability. We have a responsibility to ourselves. It’s not easy and we have to override our default modalities to be able to design a system that is more conducive to our health and wellbeing, but that design is in your hands. You’re the architect and engineer of being able to do that.”– Dr. Samineh I. Shaheem

Key Takeaways:

“We really need to give ourselves credit for where we’ve been, what we’ve survived, what we’ve achieved during this time, and really not to underestimate the impact that it’s had on us.” – Dr. Samineh I. Shaheem

“A problem shared is a problem halved.” – Dr. Samineh I. Shaheem

“Don’t personalize. When we go through an adversity of this scale, it’s very important to be able to put it in a category that it belongs in so it doesn’t become pervasive and impact other areas of our life. We have a fantastic expression that says ‘this, too, shall pass’.” – Dr. Samineh I. Shaheem

“One-on-one consultations should never be replaced with these [self-help] books, no matter how many books people read.” – Dr. Samineh I. Shaheem

Happy Valentine’s!

By this time, I assume people are already having quality time with those they dearly love, however, as you love and care for others, it is also important that you do the same for yourself.

Self-love and self-care have been the focus of people’s love conversations these days, and that’s making a huge change in how we value ourselves.

As the saying goes, give yourself the love you keep on giving everyone else – a love so pure and genuine that it drives you towards betterment every day.

Join us today as we talk about self-love practices with our Health Bite host, Dr. Adrienne.

What you will learn from this episode:

• Discover a list of things you can do to effectively start practicing self-love;
• Find out how Dr. Adrienne cares for herself as she shares her top four self-care practices; and
• Understand why making time for yourself is a must in doing self-care.

Key Takeaways:

“Keep in mind that it is not indulgent to practice self-care and it's not necessarily relaxing, either. In fact, self-care takes work. It takes effort. It does require work to do the right thing for ourselves.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

“Moving your body is a form of caring for your body.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

 “Practicing self love is actually an act of kindness, not only to yourself but also to others. Self-love is precisely what we need to get ourselves out of this divisive funk.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim
