Jen and Phil talk about recent reports on a weight loss shot geared towards children.  They believe this could lead to other health problems and is generally a terrible idea.  

What is truly a major component is the example set by parents.  Parents should set the example for their children to be disciplined, to put in the hard work to eat properly, to set boundaries/limits for unhealthy items, and to ultimately help their children return to a healthy weight/lifestyle.  As with most things in life, there is no quick fix.  You have to do the work.

Before getting stuck on medication, they suggest maybe first do an evaluation of your lifestyle to see what positive changes you can make to improve your health.  It is important to dedicate time to ourselves to have a healthy mind and body.  

Get in on the conversation and let them know what you think.

Phil and Jennifer talk with special guest Alix Long about the ugly truth of a cancer journey.  What it truly means to go through someone's cancer battle, death, and grievance and how to live on. 

Alix Long is the owner of Grace Pilates+Yoga, Wake Mindfulness Retreats, and a modern mindfulness expert. She is a speaker, a writer, an intuitive healer, and a mindfulness movement expert. She found her passion for mindfulness through Pilates and has developed a career in mindfulness which she used to heal herself and her family after her late husband died from cancer in 2019. Her powerful healing mindset came from her personal walk with death. She was committed to keeping her promise to her late husband to live fully. That was the beginning of the creation of Wake- which is the culmination of deep therapy, her intense study of healing through personal transformation, and her commitment to becoming an expert in mindfulness.  She is happily remarried to David Long, a fellow widower, and together they have built a beautiful life. She is most proud to have blended their five grieving children and families on their path of healing and growth.
