     No matter the advantages of having a smartphone nowadays, still, our health should always be taken into consideration in the first place.

     Statistics show that half of the Americans usually spend 5-6 hours in front of their smartphones, basically forming up ¼ of our 24 hour days, and that’s scary! We tend to just scroll, scroll, scroll especially on social media and the like, and now, we feel like it’s affecting us way too much that we can’t even handle it sometimes.

    Remember, whatever you eat and put into your mouth is also food for the mind.

  • 63. 4 Most Common Dietary Pitfalls When Trying to Lose Weight with Dr. Adrienne Youdim

    Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

    Whether we admit it or not, even when we’re trying to get serious with our diet, there are times when we fall into the trap of foods that are just so mouthwatering for us to handle.

    On the other hand, we might also be getting so busy these days, trying to make a living in the midst of this pandemic, that we’re now starting to get used to skipping meals.

    We want to lose weight. We want weight gain. However, our practices sometimes take us far from success.

    In this episode, Dr. Adrienne enumerates the four most common dietary pitfalls she’s been seeing in her clinical practice as she shares ways and tips on how to get over each one.


    What you will learn from this episode:

    • Discover what are the four most common pitfalls people usually go through when trying to change their diet;
    • Understand why watching your protein intake is a must; and
    • Find out how you can avoid falling for the pitfalls through detailed tips based on evidence and science.


    Key Takeaways:

    “If skipping meals works, you would think that, “Well, I'm only eating one meal a day. And so, isn't that ‘saving calories’?” The answer is absolutely no. Because in that one meal, you can totally eat past your hunger and accumulate way more calories than you otherwise would if you had eaten throughout the day.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “Good fats are good, but they are fats. Be wary of fake healthy food and also be mindful of the healthy food. Portion size matters.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “Remember, protein is your most satiating or most filling macronutrient. So, if you're going to compare protein, carbohydrates, and fats, protein is going to be the nutrient that is most filling and it is the nutrient that's going to give you the most staying power.” – Adrienne Youdim

  • 62. Childhood Trauma, Career Shift, Weight Gain and other Life Lessons featuring Atoosa Rubenstein, Former Editor-In-Chief of Seventeen Magazine

    Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

    Shifting from a past you want to get better from isn’t one-click magic that will happen in just a blink of an eye. However, whether we admit it or not, we tend to bully ourselves to change most of the time, thinking that seeing ourselves in a negative manner will push us harder and faster towards what we want in life.

    But let me tell you now; you’ve been doing it all wrong if that’s where you’re at.

    It takes time. There’s the need to de-identify. It might even lead you to ask a lot of why’s.

    No matter how hard you try, if your actions are coming only from the fear you have inside, you’ll only get stuck.

    Join us as we discuss the importance of self-love and compassion in this episode with Atoosa Rubenstein.

    Atoosa Rubenstein is the former Editor in Chief of Seventeen Magazine and is also Founder and Editor in Chief of CosmoGirl, two of the most loved magazines during its active years. Currently, Atoosa is an author.

    In this episode, Atoosa shares how she has shifted from her “fake bitch” past into a more authentic space in all aspects of her well-being. Here, she talks about her story as she reminds people that fear-based thinking isn’t the right way to go when dealing with positive change.


    What you will learn from this episode:

    • Discover how powerful self-love and self-compassion is in your journey towards a positive change;
    • Understand why things need to come from the space of love and not fear;
    • Find out the importance of practicing de-identification in terms of getting better with self-care.


    Check the love letters she wrote for her readers called “Atoosa Unedited” by visiting https://atoosa.substack.com.

    Key Takeaways:

    “Self-love and compassion have to be the soundtrack. You cannot do it because you feel embarrassed. You can't do it because you think you're a loser. You can't do it because you're worried you'll lose your husband or boyfriend or never find one. You have to do it because you deserve to be happy and you deserve all good things.

     It has to come from that place of love.” – Atoosa Rubenstein

    “When the fruit is ready to come off the tree, it pops right off, and it's not a hard decision.” – Atoosa Rubenstein

    “Just because you can doesn't mean you should.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

  • 61. Sizzle Your Fizzle: Routine as the Key to Your Best Self in 2022 with Dr. Adrienne Youdim

    Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

    Keeping a routine isn’t as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, we’ll lose motivation and the tempting feeling of giving up will arise.

    We’ll feel as if things aren’t going the way we want them to be. Time will come that we’ll have thoughts of doubt, questioning if what we’re doing is the right path to take in order for us to be healthy and happy.

    Nevertheless, we should keep in mind that a routine is one of the most fruitful investments one could have in life. Join us as we talk about its importance in today’s podcast.


    What you will learn from this episode:

    • Understand that losing motivation at times isn’t bad as it is what makes us humans;
    • Discover the benefits one could have when a routine is present in his life; and
    • Find out how a routine helps us grow in all aspects of our well-being, especially with self-care.


    Key Takeaways:

    “Creating a routine is done so that when your motivation naturally ebbs and flows – because again, it will – you are prepared and you're not vulnerable to the effects of that.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “We are, by nature, committed to the end results, not to the journey. If we don't have a routine, this fact will undermine us. Create a routine so that you are committed to the process, committed to the journey, and not the outcome.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “Create a routine so that you avoid decision fatigue. You preserve your energy, and therefore, you preserve your power.” – Adrienne Youdim

  • 60. How to Set Intentions. Not Resolutions, This New Year by Dr. Adrienne Youdim

    Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

    What is this year’s version of your New Year’s resolution as we step on a fresh start in 2022?

    Is it something that concerns your health? Does it talk about self-improvement? Did you tell yourself you’ll have abundance in life, in all aspects? How committed are you to actually achieving these changes?

    Most of the time, people fail to keep their resolutions for whatever reason there is. Nevertheless, if you really want change, there are ways for you to have it!

    Listen and be effective as we welcome this year with a new episode of Health Bite.

    What you will learn from this episode:

    • Find out data-driven tips that you can practice in order to be more effective in keeping your to-do lists;
    • Understand why being kind to yourself is the most effective way of achieving the change you wish to live by; and
    • Realize that even when you aren’t perfect, you can have big dreams and actually achieve those goals in time.


    Key Takeaways:

    “When you try to do too much at once, you are setting yourself up for failure. Remind yourself that small steps amount to big change. Start small and be consistent because that is far more important than being big and fast because big flames fizzle.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “It is not so much that “slip up” that matters; it is the moment after.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “Be kind to yourself. It's much nicer and it's much more effective.” – Adrienne Youdim

  • 59. Resilience in the Face of Uncertainty – A New Year Message

    Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

    These past two years of pandemic caused by COVID 19 have indeed taken its toll on us. Wherever you go, wherever you look, people are battling to survive this challenge consisting of continuously evolving variants.

    Trying to find joy and live life in contentment is something that has become so hard. Nevertheless, it is a vital step towards survival that we remind ourselves of our capability to be resilient – to win against life’s hurdles that have been trying to stop us on our way to our betterment.

    Join us today as we share our last episode for this year!

    In this episode, Dr. Adrienne talks about the sentiments around the occurrence of toxic positivity culture nowadays as she shares insights in relation to control and mastery to remind us that we have the power of being resilient.


    What you will learn from this episode:

    • This pandemic and how it has led everyone to be at our most meh state;
    • Why environmental mastery is way better than the concept of having control over things in life; and
    • Understand that we always have a choice in whatever it is that we do in life.



    Key Takeaways:

    “There's so much that we cannot control; so much that is out of our control. But the truth is this is nothing new. It has always been this way, of course, whether we’re willing to admit it or not, or willing to see it or not, life really is not in our control. We try to control our lives with planning and hard work and grit and consistency, but despite our best efforts, life happens, and this is stressful.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “Control gives us the notion that we can minimize uncertainty, but of course, it is an illusion. Most of what we value – our health, our relationships, financial security, disease, natural disasters, economic downturn, world events, global pandemics – is subject to uncertainty. Even the most resourceful people among us deal with adversity and uncertainty.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “Stay resilient this holiday season. Find joy where it exists and allow yourself space where it is not. Be kind to yourself and be kind to those around you, because certainly, this is a collective experience – a global experience – and we can all use and appreciate each other's kindness.” – Adrienne Youdim

  • 58. Food and Tradition - Navigating Food During the Holidays

    Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

    Food is in a direct relationship with the traditions and connections we have in our lives, especially during this time of the year – the successive holidays! 

    It is with no doubt that there is pleasure in satisfying real hunger; however, there are cases that some people fall into the mouth-watering temptation possessed by the sweets, meat, and everything else on the table that they tend to just eat and eat and eat, while others tend to miss the enjoyment of the occasion because they overly think about ‘healthy eating’.

    How do we balance the sanctity of the occasion with the sanctity of our bodies and of our own well-being? How do we reconcile with that and finally live the life of our dreams?

    Join us as we talk about food and tradition in today’s episode of Health Bite!


    What you will learn from this episode:

    • Why it is important to use hunger as a guide for us to know when to start eating and when to stop
    • The wonders of having a gratitude practice before and after a meal 
    • Studies connecting eating habits and each one’s effect on us
    • Discover how to reconcile within yourself in relation to the importance of both tradition and well-being


    Key Takeaways:

    “Prayer – whether it’s just gratitude or religious practice – evokes a sense of mindfulness, presence, savoring, and therefore, enjoyment for our meal.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “Our traditions are really in line with health practices. The intersection between our religious laws, cultural traditions, and science is a testament to the importance of these simple practices as a guide to better health and wellbeing.” – Adrienne Youdim

    “We can honor our traditions while also honoring our desire to be well.“ – Adrienne Youdim


    It is a great way of understanding why people struggle with their weight every day due to the lack of desire to eat certain things they enjoy eating as well as other factors such as stress levels, which affect the production of ghrelin hormone (the "I'm hungry" hormone).

    Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

    In this episode of my Hungry for More series, I talk about the science behind epigenetics, specifically focusing on how our choices, behavior, and environment affect the expression of the genes we have in our DNA. Many of us feel like a victim of our own genes, and here, I remind you that you are your own fate’s pilot – that you are more than the genetics encrypted in your body! I also share with you studies and other evidence which prove that through wiser health choices, we can actually get to take care of ourselves and of those who surround us as well.

    Highlights:

    • Chemical modifications that can be made in order to affect the usability of one’s genes in the body;
    • Parents’ choices that affect their health also affect the offspring’s even before birth;
    • Our choices and behaviors not only impact our DNA, but also impact the health and well-being of those around us.

    In this episode of my Hungry for More series, I talk about the link between adverse childhood events and diseases concerning our health, especially obesity. I also share with you the findings in Dr. Felitti’s study in coordination with Kaiser Permanente and the CDC, where data has further proven the link between one’s childhood experience of abuse and the occurrence of obesity and diseases. Moreover, I mentioned insights necessary for you to try in order to address this challenge.  

    Highlights:

    • Understand how childhood trauma can lead to weight gain;
    • Ways we can practice to address the experience of abuse’s link to health concerns;
    • Why is it important for us to listen to those who have been abused and not neglect their stories
