Welcome back to the podcast, today's featured speaker is Dr. Eric Berg.  Dr. Berg is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional and natural methods. His private practice is located in Alexandria, Virginia.

In this episode, we explore the transformative effects of cutting out sugar from your diet for two weeks. The discussion begins with noticeable changes in facial appearance, shifts to substantial improvements in midsection fat due to the liver burning fat reserves, and covers benefits to key organs such as the eyes, kidneys, arteries, and nerves. You'll hear how eliminating sugar can enhance cognitive function, stabilize mood, reduce nighttime urination, sustain energy levels, and diminish sugar cravings. Furthermore, Dr Berg elaborates on weight loss, better skin health, reduced inflammation, and finally, the resolving of insulin resistance, which is foundational to overcoming various health issues linked to high sugar consumption.

I highly recommend you check out his videos on YouTube - Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto® Diet Plan - Intermittent Fasting and Fat Burning (youtube.com)

Welcome to today's episode where we feature Ryan Holiday's latest book - Right Thing, Right Now.

In "Discipline Is Destiny," Ryan Holiday advocates for a life guided by self-discipline, presenting a compelling argument rooted in Stoic philosophy. In this book, his Stoic Virtues series emphasizes the importance of doing what is right, even when it presents challenges. 

 Holiday challenges the modern notion that acting justly is optional, arguing that this misconception contributes to widespread dissatisfaction. In "Right Thing. Right Now.," Holiday draws from the lives of historical figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gandhi, and Frederick Douglass. Their examples of kindness, honesty, integrity, and loyalty serve as models for ethical living. Through these stories, readers discover the transformative power of adhering to a moral code and the pitfalls faced by those who lack a well-formed conscience.

If you love the insights shared from this book, be sure to check out the many other Ryan Holiday books featured on this podcast:

Ep 19 _ Courage Is Calling

Ep. 55_ The Obstacle is the Way

Ep. 71 _ Discipline is Destiny

Ep. 104 _ Ego is the Enemy

Ep. 110 _ The Daily Dad

Thanks for all your support and I hope you enjoy today's insights.

Welcome to today's episode where we feature 'Create The Life You Desire' by Frank Di Genova.

Ever wondered what true success really means? Are you living it right now? True success isn't just about one aspect of your life; it's about finding balance in all areas. This book is your guide to mastering that balance and unlocking your full potential.

From the moment we're born, we're often set up to fail. This book will show you how to break free from that programming. It's time to stop self-sabotaging and denying your own power. You'll learn about self-care and why traditional motivational and positive thinking techniques often fall short.

We all have unrealized potential waiting to flourish. Neglecting this creativity is a tragedy that leads to unhealthy behaviors and self-sabotage. We've been taught to suppress our power and stop trusting our natural instincts. This burden leaves us with less time to enjoy life.

Are you ready to create the life you desire and unlock your greatest potential? Let's take this journey together.

Welcome back to the podcast. 

Question: have you heard about this new book, "The 6% Club"?

It's by Dr. Michelle Rozen, who's known as the Change Doctor. She's got this really cool approach to helping people stick to new habits and actually achieve their goals. The whole idea came from a study she did where she asked a thousand people about making changes in their lives. Get this - only 6% of them were still on track after just a month! Can you believe it? Dr. Rozen's been working on these strategies for years, testing them out with all sorts of people at her events. In the book, she breaks down how to do things like exercise more, eat better, save money, or even boost your career. And it's not just for solo efforts - she talks about how to make changes with a buddy too. The best part? She's all about cutting through the excuses and making it feel effortless. No more putting things off or giving up! It's pretty cool because it's all based on science, but it's written in a way that's easy to get into. If you're looking to make some real changes in your life, whether it's personal stuff or work-related, this book might be just what you need. It's definitely earned its place on my bookshelf!

I am honored to share my favorite insights from this book and I hope you can walk away with some simple ideas that you can apply to your life starting today.

Hey there, podcast listeners! Today we're diving into a topic that affects all of us in this digital age - our shrinking attention spans.

We've got a game-changing book to discuss called "Attention Span" by psychologist Gloria Mark, who's been dubbed "the definitive expert on distraction and multitasking" by none other than Cal Newport. 

Now, get this - on average, we spend just 47 seconds on a screen before our attention wanders. And if we get interrupted? It takes a whopping 25 minutes to get back on track. But here's the kicker - we're interrupting ourselves more than others are interrupting us! Dr. Mark's been studying this stuff for decades, and she's busting some myths wide open. Remember how we've all been chasing that elusive state of "flow"? Well, it turns out there might be a better way to think about focus in our digital world.

So, if you've ever felt like your attention is being pulled in a million directions, or if you're tired of feeling scattered and unfocused, you won't want to miss this episode. We're going to unpack some of Dr. Mark's groundbreaking insights and discuss how we can all rediscover our ability to pay attention in this distraction-filled world. 

Enjoy!
