Ideal Protein Nation – I give you episode #39!! In this episode, I have the privilege of interviewing Dr. Dennis Barley, VP of Healthcare Strategy for Ideal Protein!! Dr. Barley is a friend of mine and someone I look up to and respect in the company! Dr. Barley is the lead when educating physicians as to why they should consider the Ideal Protein Protocol as their number one “drugless and non-surgical” option to include in their treatment plan when addressing weight loss, obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases! 

Please take the time to watch, listen, and digest this amazingly information packed episode!! We hope that we are successful getting our message across that weight issues are NOT the result of “willpower or moral failures” and should not be subject to “guilt or shame!” That weight loss is NOT “Vanity,” but it should be Healthcare That YOU Deserve!! And that the Ideal Protein Protocol represents a “different approach to weight loss and log-term weight management” over 3 Phases not just 1!!! 

And in the end, we ask all of IP Nation to enroll in our mission and vision and help fight the epidemics of weight issues, obesity, and metabolic disease our country and world has been suffering long before COVID-19 shown a spotlight on them and emphasized their magnitude and importance!! #idealprotein #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #IPWeightlossScience #weightloss #resetbodyresetmindresetpossible #livinglifepossible #resetwellnessnow 

Finally! After 2 days of filming, multiple bloopers, and a fire alarm, I would like to introduce to Ideal Protein Nation the first Ideal Protein baby we have had on the show…Claire Elizabeth Bailey!!! Jill Bailey was the guest on Episode 30 when she shared her story of struggle with PCOS and the reality that she may not ever be able to realize her dream having children. After she surrendered herself to the protocol fully, she was able to achieve the lofty goal set before her by numerous doctors of losing 100 pounds!! She pushed that goal out further and was heading towards 120 when one day she followed up on a hunch and found out she was pregnant!!! Join us as she shares the rest of the story about her pregnancy, nutrition, weight gain, delivery and plans to return to Phase 1 and reach her “healthy and fit mom” goals now, and “Possibly” having more kids!!! #IdealProtein #IPWeightLossScience #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #livinglifepossible #resetpossiblenow #pcoswarrior #pcosweightloss #pcosweightlossjourney #pcosweightlossmotivation

Ideal Protein Nation!!! Let me introduce to you…the “IP Dynamic Duo”… Meghan Riley and Dawn Offel! Join us for an inspirational and motivational show that will appeal to both client and coach!! Meghan tells her story of transformation that didn’t just improve her health but gave her a whole new meaningful and fulfilling career!! These 2 ladies prove the adage that you are literally one decision, (and one great coach) away from changing your entire life! And if that decision is to start or restart the Ideal Protein protocol why you need to take that leap of faith! We discuss why this program is so incredibly effective for athletes looking to lose that last 10 pounds and improve performance! And Dawn finishes our discussion challenging both clients and coaches to commit themselves 100%+ to the protocol and their relationship so 2022 will be the best year of results yet!!! #idealprotein #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #weightloss #resetbodyresetmindresetpossible #livinglifepossible #resetwellness

Hold on to your seats as the Amazing Lynn Roos and I get the whole scoop on Janeva’s latest “Food Symphony” - the second full revision of the EPIC Janeva’s Ideal Recipes!!! During this part of the show Janeva takes us through the blood, sweat, tears, and love that go into creating a cookbook of this magnitude. She explains what she has revised to bring the book up to speed with the new Ideal Protein Protocol changes and what new resources she has included to make measuring and journaling for these meals even easier!. AND she also gives us some sneak peaks into a few of the 139 new recipes that are a part of the 245 total in this new book!! She explains how the dinner recipes were designed to be “family friendly” so no more cooking multiple meals during Phase 1 and it can help improve their health as well!

What happens when you get Ideal Protein Nation icon Janeva Eickhoff and her number one fan Lynn Roos together in the studio to talk about 2 new EPIC projects?!!? YOU GET 2 NEW EPISODES!!!! WOW! 

We had so much fun AND learned so much about cooking and baking I decided to break down the “EIPICER THAN EPIC” 2 hour and 10-minute marathon show into 2 easy to digest bites!! (See what I did there?!) Each one is bursting with it’s own special EPICNESS!! 

This episode (Part 1) focuses on Janeva’s first “Official Collaboration” with Ideal Protein – the Ideal Baking Kit!! Join us as we hear the story of how this idea started and came to fruition. See and learn about each of the awesome tools that made it into this kit, and about the “Exclusive 20 Recipe Book” that is the anchor of the whole project!!

My production schedule is off right now, but I can not let this holiday season pass by without revisiting the original Life Possible Podcast Thanksgiving show! Whether you are watching this for the first time, or you remember this episode from last year, here is our EPIC episode featuring the incomparable Sara Mulero! Her personal story of transformation is truly amazing! This is absolutely one of my favorite episodes because of WHO this lady is! Sara was more than "authentic" during this show relating her own weight loss journey of over 340 pounds and sharing some stories she has never shared before! There is no doubt that some of the things she went through have made her a true gift to all of us in Ideal Protein Nation! She is definitely one of my most entertaining guests and you will see why I refer to her as my "Sassy Sister from the South!" PLUS - her Phase 1 recipes she shared with us for her for Stuffing, Broccoli and Cheese Casserole, Cranberry Salad, Green Bean Casserole, Pumpkin Pie, and Fried Turkey are timeless!!! Tune in to the show and find out how you can get these recipes in your email inbox!!! #idealprotein #foodismedicine #weightlossishealthcare #livinglifepossible #happythanksgiving

Travel down with me to Baton Rouge, LA and meet Tami Turnley, Clinic Owner/Coach at Ideal Weight Loss Solutions! You will love her Southern Charm and personality as she shows us why her superpowers are “Experience and Empathy!” She will help us understand with an “ounce of faith and a little belief,” we can get through hard things! She also coaches us through “Progress not Perfection” and how to stop obsessing over the number on the scale!! This episode is full of “Tami-isms” that will speak to you and hopefully get you over the “speed bumps” and speed your progress along your Ideal Protein Journey to Your Life Possible!

This episode I had the privilege of interviewing and presenting to Ideal Protein Nation, Dr. Linda Anegawa. She is an award-winning physician-educator, writer, and consultant dedicated to the treatment of metabolic and weight-related disease. Her expertise on metabolic and weight-related disease have been featured in US News & World Report, HuffPost, Yahoo News, Women’s Health, and Oprah magazine, among others. Today Dr. Anegawa serves on the Executive Medical Board of Ideal Protein and I couldn’t be more excited about that!! 

I had so much fun hanging out with Dr. A recording this show and I hope you do too! I knew that she and I were kindred spirits from listening to her present during Ideal Protein corporate events and most recently the Great Reset Virtual Event that Ideal Protein produced last month! However, it was absolutely confirmed when she described attending a medical obesity conference as if it were a Metallica concert!! I totally understood her excitement about finally finding a way to help her patients “get healthier” instead of simply “managing their decline” and wanting to rush the stage after a presentation! I love Dr. A’s depth of understanding of both the science and mental/emotional aspects of obesity, weight loss and long-term lifestyle change!

First, we discuss how the Ideal protein protocol is actually a “Lifestyle Program” and is such a different approach metabolically than other weight loss programs. Dr. Anegawa the also confirms why there has never been a more important time in the history of the health of our country to start a program like this that has the potential to have such a huge impact on your “Metabolic Health” for the long term! Next, we have a discussion about the importance of your “WHY” and how to define that in a meaningful way. Then she explains and helps us understand the difference between “motivation” and “readiness” to make a significant lifestyle change and what you need to do be “ready” and “successful!” #idealprotein #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #resetbodyresetmindresetpossible #livinglifepossible

Here it is! In Episode 33, you will meet 2 amazing members of Ideal Protein Nation who embody the characteristics of “Our Tribe!” Anastasia and Eric Van Roon decided to take the plunge together and started their Ideal Protein Journey last September 2020 amidst the pandemic. They worked together as a team and lost over 160 pounds between the 2 of them! Blessed with cooking and baking talents and a heart to help others, Anastasia started her own Facebook group to help other family members and friends when they started the Ideal Protein protocol as well. That group has now grown to over 5000 members, where she shares crazy cool recipes, and heart-warming motivation! Mind you, she has accomplished all of this while maintaining her career AS A BAKERY MANAGER!!! All day long 5-6 days per week creating the most decedent and beautiful creations made from her biggest nemesis – SUGAR!!! If Anastasia can break her sugar addiction – SO CAN YOU!!! We will also learn how Eric set a “Life Possible” goal of skydiving if/when he reached his weight loss goal of 100 pounds and inspired his co-workers to join him! Ladies and Gentlemen, rest assured you will connect with these 2 amazing people and be inspired along your own Ideal Protein Journey to “Life Possible!” #idealprotein #weightlossishealthcare #foodismedicine #resetbodyresetmindresetpossible #livinglifepossible #weightlossjourney #weightloss

I call this episode "Hope for the People!" My guest this week is the Amazing Hope Donaldson! I saw Hope on Facebook commenting on one of my shows, and then in the Phase 1 Support Group. Currently over 100 pounds down and still in Phase 1 of the Ideal Protein protocol, her post were always right on point, true to the program and inspirational! I could truly tell that Hope respected and surrendered herself to the protocol 100% and made it her goal to help others do the same so they could achieve the success that she has! Although this episode has a long running time, it is worth it! Stay till the end as she has a lot to say to help you through your IP Phase 1  journey! Also, her clinic owner Dylan Webb joins us as well to discuss his experience and education that proved to him, there is no better approach to preventing, reducing or reversing Metabolic Syndrome and related conditions!! (And oh yeah, lose weight and keep it off!)
