In this episode, I want to break down what self love actually means, where it started, and how you can practice it in all areas of your life to live better. I talk about how we can start the journey to self-love, the purest forms of self-love, and the four key aspects of self-love. I also share the three ways that people can practice self-love, talking to yourself the way you talk to someone you love, practicing self-care, and expressing what we need to keep going. Tune in to learn more!

Self-love is the act of valuing and respecting oneself, including both strengths and weaknesses. It involves treating oneself with kindness, compassion, and understanding, as well as prioritizing one's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. To practice self-love, one can start by setting healthy boundaries and saying no to things that do not align with their values or cause them stress. Engaging in self-care activities, such as exercise, meditation, or a relaxing bath. Additionally, learning to challenge negative self-talk and replace it with positive affirmations can help cultivate a more loving relationship with oneself.

Rejection is a part of life, but it doesn't have to end your world. Rejection can happen anywhere. In school, at work, on dates, in social situations and on the phone. It occurs when someone who you're interested in romantically rejects you or when a business opportunity falls through. Rejection hurts because we're all afraid of rejection by people who matter to us. But rejection doesn't have to be the end of your world. It can make you stronger.

In this episode, I share some takeaways on how to reframe rejection, so it makes you a better person. Think of rejection as an opportunity for growth, understand why rejections happen, don't let rejections define who you are as a person or take away your self-worth, and think about what else might have been wrong with the situation.

Our guest for today believes that sugar is the real culprit of human health. David Gillespie is a lawyer and the best-selling author of Sweet Poison, a book published in 2008 about how we are all poisoning ourselves with sugar. That book is generally credited with starting the current wave of sugar awareness in Australia. He followed up Sweet Poison with four more books about nutrition and diet. Then, having upset the dietetics industry by writing about stuff in which he has no qualifications, he turned his focus to something else he is unqualified to write about, education.

David talks about how he got into the research on human health, the research on the effects of sugar by The London School of Nutrition, why companies add sugar in every foodstuff, and where we can draw the line when eating sucrose and fructose. He also shares some insights on the relationship between stress and addiction, how abandoning sugar in the diet made a difference in his life and the false narrative about fats.

David reminds us that sugar is harmful to our health, especially fructose which is half the content of sugar we consume. Fructose is metabolized differently than other forms of sugar by the body and goes directly to your liver, where it gets converted into fat. That's why fructose causes obesity and elevated triglycerides in your blood.
