Messy Wellness

Welcome to Holistic Health Made Simple Podcast.  Like you, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I  wanted off the diet roller coaster. And was beyond confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated with all the conflicting diet and health information. Nothing I did ever worked no matter how hard I tried.  Do you feel me? Do you wish there was a simple solution to get you healthier, smaller, and have more energy?

I welcome you to join me in this journey of health where you will find simple health solutions to set you free from the diet culture, overwhelm, and ever-changing health rules! My mission is to go beyond the calorie and diet dogma to equip you to be healthy in a holistic way, through simple changes to real food, mindset, and lifestyle.  If you are ready to say yes to health and toss out everything that has not worked for a plan with simple steps that will work, you are in the right place!  

Hey!  I’m Jolene, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, wife, furry guardian, gardener, and non-bendy yogi.  For as long as I could remember I chased weight loss in the hope of feeling better. Like literally lost and gained the same 80 lbs 3 times! Trying every popular diet that came out, falling for the promises and fitness plans that just took my money and left me worse off than I started. I was working nonstop in the corporate world and the burnout was real. I finally learned that I needed to take a holistic approach and focus on total health to give my body what it needs to thrive!  But more importantly, I realized only I had the power to make the changes and they had to fit into my life.  Now I share simple strategies that continue to work as we age.  There’s no one size fit’s all approach, the only thing that works is tailoring to what your body needs at the moment. It also requires taking a look at more than just the food.  Don’t worry though, it’s all about making small changes to support and improve health to be able to enjoy our golden years.  The time is now before you are too ill to do anything.  

If you are ready to find a health plan that is tailored to YOU and your current health, find solutions that are broken into simple steps to make it easy to implement.  Results that are undeniable, like more energy, improved mood, better sleep, and fat loss, this is the podcast for you!

Pop in those headphones, take a deep breath, and let's get healthier together!

The discussion today revolved around, the issue with the JAMA study and how it portrayed intermittent fasting due to the participants eating whatever they wanted and how much they wanted. They also consumed non-caloric drinks during their fasting periods. We discussed how the sweet taste affects the brain and releases insulin and how insulin then stores fat. We also discussed the concept of calories in versus calories out. 

With what was covered this week I ask you to start reducing your sweeteners  while you're fasting, remove them, try to fast clean, hit the minimum of 16 hours and try to cut out processed foods. Let's work on getting everything cleaned up, but take baby steps. If you're drinking a lot of diet drinks, cut them out first, then work on cleaning up the food and then work on your 16 hours. See how you feel.

The new time restricted eating study that was posted in Jama -  Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss and Other Metabolic Parameters in Women and Men With Overweight and Obesity

This study - Relationships between insulin release and taste, and the cephalic phase insulin release.

The calories in calories out theory using information shared in both these studies Macronutrients and obesity: revisiting the calories in, calories out framework and The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity: Beyond "Calories In, Calories Out

In Episode 2  I discuss the basics of a ketogenic diet and t the subtle differences of the ketogenic diet in relation to a low carb diet as well as go through the basics of Macros what are they how to know how much and the ranges you need to be in.  

For Macro tracking I suggest using Cron-O-Meter.  It can be used directly in a browser or downloaded as an app on a smart device.

Let's work on shifting the focus to health.  This episode I share a little about me and my feelings on the importance of finding what is best for you.  Making a lifestyle change means it has to be something that works in your lifestyle.  Is it keto, low carb, fasting?
