Today, we're addressing a common pain point that many of us have experienced—the struggle to lose weight. Believe me, I've been there. I know how disheartening it can be when you've tried countless diets, exercise regimens, and medications, and yet the scale refuses to budge, and your type 2 diabetes seems like an unconquerable mountain.

I want to share a mindset shift that changed everything for me—the "One More Mindset." It's that unwavering determination to not give up when things get tough; let me tell you, it has made all the difference.

In this week’s episode, I’m going to share:

• Tips to overcome the frustrating roadblocks and self-doubt that come with trying to lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes.
• My personal journey of losing over 80 pounds in less than a year and completely getting off medications for almost two years.
• How the "One More Mindset" acts as an antidote to the discouraging mindset of "It's too hard" or "I can't make progress."
• Practical strategies to cultivate the "One More Mindset" and apply it to your own health journey.

Are you overweight and either have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, and are ready to lose weight so you can reverse T2D?

Excess weight, especially around the waistline, can lead to insulin resistance—a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin. This resistance disrupts the regulation of blood sugar levels, contributing to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes.

The good news is that weight loss has the potential to reverse these effects. By shedding those extra pounds, you can enhance insulin sensitivity and restore your body's ability to utilize glucose effectively. In fact, research has shown that even a modest weight loss of 5 to 10% can lead to substantial improvements in blood sugar control.

In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about:

1. How preparing for weight loss success changed my life
2. Ways to make your journey toward good health less complicated
3. I share a list of foods you should eat and ones you should avoid
4. Recommended Resources to help further your knowledge of health and nutrition

Fellas,

When we were in our teens, 20’s and 30’s, many of us could get away with eating whatever we wanted, and exercising on occasion. But when we crossed over that 40th milestone, things started to change.

Some of us felt as if we slowed down. Our bodies started aching more than usual. Our waistlines seemed to expand over night. Clothes don’t seem to fit right. Energy seem low. Constantly exhausted. And our we found ourselves taking more trips to the pharmacy.

What happens overtime when you neglect your health?

1. Missing early signs of an underlying problem
2. Risk of heart disease and heart attack
3. Obesity
4. Type 2 Diabetes
5. High Blood Pressure
6. High cholesterol 
7. Cancer
8. Health can affect relationships

What value will the listener receive?

1. Learn simple ways to improve your overall health 
2. Receive Practical Recommendations for Developing Lifelong Good Habits 
3. Develop Self-Motivation When You’re Tempted to Quit

Is it true that most men wait until something bad happens before taking their health seriously? Some people think so, while others, not so much. 

June is Men’s Health Month. This is the perfect opportunity to discuss issues related to men, and why some men may neglect their health.

In today’s episode: 

1. I discuss the difference between myth and reality when it comes to men and their concerns about health
2. You will receive recommendations for how men can jump start their journey toward good health
3. I share encouragement for women who are struggling to get help for the men in their lives

We all know that what we eat affects our health. Unfortunately, despite having that knowledge, some people still struggle when it comes to making better food choices and living an overall healthy lifestyle. Why is that?

To answer that question, joining me on this week’s episode of TBDLP is my special guest, Jamie Pope, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist. 

Jamie is the co-author of “Nutrition for a Changing World, Second Edition.” 

When I first began learning about nutrition to improve my own health, I stumbled across Jamie’s work, and I have learned so much. In fact, some of the insight I share on this podcast, come from things I’ve gleaned from learning from Jamie’s research. 

So in this episode, Jamie and I discuss: 

• What eating “healthy” really mean in light of today’s food choices
• Carbs and calories and what you should know
• The Link Between Poor Health & Poor Nutrition, and why prioritizing nutrition is so critical
• How better nutrition and certain Lifestyle Changes may help in reversing type 2 diabetes and other chronic illnesses

You can find out more about Jamie online at https://jamiepopenutrition.com.

Burgers. French fries. Hot dogs. crispy Fried chicken. Sliced cold cuts. Cakes. Pies. Bagels. Doughnuts. Brownies. Potato chips. Soda. Sweet tea. Lemonade. 

What do these have in common?

You might call these junk foods.

In the United States, these are just a few of the foods that make up what has come to be known as the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.).

Living a healthy lifestyle should not be complicated. But I know it’s a challenge for lots of people, especially when it seems as if we're surrounded by so many unhealthy choices.

That’s why in this week’s episode, I’m going to share with you:

• The risk factors associated with the Standard American Diet
• And my recommendations for breaking unhealthy eating habits so you can achieve better health

There’s so much insight that I have gained, which I want to share with you.
