The word "diet" is such a triggering word, typically known as something we go on and off of when we think we need to lose weight.

But is the next diet trend...forgoing the whole idea of a diet altogether?

Felicia Stoler joins us to talk about this idea. She is a registered dietitian nutritionist, exercise physiologist, and expert consultant in wellness and healthful living. She is the author of Living Skinny in Fat Genes: The Healthy Way to Lose Weight and Feel Great,  and the host of TLC's Honey We're Killing The Kids!.  Felicia is an expert in nutrition, fitness, and healthy living, operating her own private practice in New Jersey, as well as a professional speaker, brand ambassador, and spokesperson.

Listen as Dr. Pam and Felicia talk about medical diets vs. cosmetic diets, cultural norms and diverse body types, and how to have these conversations in the doctor's office. 

Every day at 7:00 am (8:30 am on the weekend) Dr. Pam logs into zoom for a 20 minute guided transcendental meditation session.

Those sessions are guided by her friend Bob Roth. Bob is one of the most experienced and sought-after meditation leaders in America. Over the past 45 years, Bob has taught Transcendental Meditation® to many thousands of people, and is the author of the 2018 New York Times bestseller, “Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation.” He is now CEO of the David Lynch Foundation.

We turn inward this episode and go deep into the power of meditation, self-reflection, making rest sacred, and the "genius lounge."

When her twenty-five-year marriage unexpectedly falls apart, journalist Florence Williams expects the loss to hurt. What she doesn’t expect is that she’ll end up in the hospital, examining close-up the way our cells listen to loneliness. In her latest book, she travels to the frontiers of the science of “social pain” to learn why heartbreak hurts so much and why so much of the conventional wisdom about it is wrong.

Searching for insight as well as personal strategies to game her way back to health, Williams tests her blood for genetic markers of grief, undergoes electrical shocks in a laboratory while looking at pictures of her ex, and ventures to the wilderness in search of awe as an antidote to loneliness. 

Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey is a remarkable merging of science and self-discovery that will change the way we think about loneliness, health, and what it means to fall in and out of love.

One of the oldest and most controversial debates of our time centers on what foods will lead to slim, healthy lives. Americans have waged national campaigns against fat and carbohydrates, tried every conceivable diet, and taken multivitamins in an attempt to satiate our hunger. And yet all our attempts continually fail us, why? Because we’ve left our brains out of the equation.

In his latest book The End of Craving: Recovering the Lost Wisdom of Eating Well, Mark Schatzker explores why Americans crave more but enjoy less compared to other nations, and how we can get back to a more healthful and pleasurable way of eating.

Schatzker traces the origin of our dysfunctional relationship with food to the turn of the last century when a mysterious pandemic called pellagra was raging simultaneously in the American South and the north of Italy, food addiction, binge eating, and real food vs fortified food.

Mark Schatzker is the author of The End of Craving, The Dorito Effect, and Steak. He is a writer in residence at the Modern Diet and Physiology Research Center, which is affiliated with Yale University, living in Toronto.

Within a week, Jacky Hunt-Broersma went from having a strange bump on her leg where she had surgery, to being told she had cancer, and having that leg amputated from the knee down.

This enormous life change led her to a new life of not only ultrarunning but world-record-setting ultra running.

She joins Dr. Pam to share her story, coming to terms with her new life & prosthetics, proving the naysayers wrong, and building a path for other amputee runners.

As we continue to ease into 2022, we're talking about another big resolution many people take up, getting into yoga! 

And there is no one else we'd rather talk to about yoga, other than Beth Shaw. As a creative visionary and entrepreneur, Beth Shaw has redefined wellness in America. Author of four books, her work has challenged industrialized wellness and paved the way for a passionate and responsible approach to all-around wellness.

Beth revolutionized the fitness industry by bringing yoga into the mainstream with her inclusive and impactful style of yoga for over 22 years. She is the founder and president of YogaFit, and has been exploring, researching, and developing fitness and wellness programs for more than 25 years.

In her latest book, Healing Trauma With Yoga & Mind-Body Techniques, Beth provides tools and techniques drawn from her work as a recovery and health coach. She offers a deep understanding of the physiological, psychological, and emotional changes brought on by trauma and depression, with techniques to survive and thrive through these sometimes debilitating conditions.

And stay tuned because this is just the start of healthy eating tips from Chef Abbie. She will be joining us once a month to bring us nutrition nudges all year long!

As we wrap up the year 2021, Dr. Pam is coming on solo to remember her friend Naomi Henderson, who passed away recently due to breakthrough COVID-19.

So today we're talking about the power and the science of friendship. Listen as Dr. Pam honors Naomi's presence, reflects on the friendships in her life and moving on from heartbreak.
