Hey folks, it's Tisha here with an episode that'll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about weight loss. Today, we're diving headfirst into this wild story of a guy who decided to shed pounds by eating at McDonald's for 100 days straight. Yeah, you heard it right.

But hang on a minute, before you start envisioning a weight loss plan filled with Quarter Pounders and fries, let's set the record straight.. This isn't really about McDonald's, even though the media and everyone else would have you believe so. This episode is about how we, as a society, got it all twisted when it comes to health and weight loss.

I mean, seriously, this man cut his calories in half, ditched the snacks, and only sipped on water, and we're crediting Mickey D's for the weight loss? Get outta here! And then, of course, we've got our dietician friend stepping in, going on about cutting more calories, eating less salt, and working out harder. The same old song and dance, right?

So, here's the deal: we're going to bust these myths wide open. Caloric restriction, sodium intake, exercise – we're taking a deep dive into all these 'golden rules' we've been fed by the health industry. Instead of handing you a weight loss recipe book, I'm here to get you thinking. To question the norms. To reevaluate what it means to be healthy and maintain an ideal weight.

Join me as we cut through the BS and challenge the status quo in this health journey. So buckle up, get ready to flip the script on weight loss, and let's debunk some myths together. It's about time, don't you think?

In this eye-opening episode, we take a deep dive into the world of gluten-free diets and Celiac disease. The episode starts off by simplifying what Celiac disease really is - essentially, it's inflammation of the intestines caused by the proteins gluten and gliadin found in grains.

We then bust a common myth that gluten intolerance is restricted to humans or specific individuals. In reality, no mammal tolerates gluten completely. The level of intolerance can vary significantly, from minor discomfort to severe bloating and other unpleasantries.

The highlight of this episode is an in-depth analysis of the gluten-free industry. We discuss how big food companies are capitalizing on the gluten-free trend and potentially misleading consumers. We also touch on the fact that simply opting for gluten-free products doesn't necessarily mean a healthier diet or lifestyle.

We delve into the serious side effects of gluten, and not just for those diagnosed with Celiac disease. Many common symptoms, such as brain fog, severe fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, depression, and stubborn weight gain, are associated with the consumption of grains, whether they're gluten-free or not.

Towards the end of the episode, we discuss the importance of a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle. The focus should be on eating wholesome, natural foods instead of falling for marketing gimmicks from the food industry.

Hey there, it's me, Tisha Castillo, your host on The Sickening Truth. In this episode, I'm talking about a recent health convention I went to and how my excitement for the event turned into some disappointment and sadness. While I'm still glad I went to the event, it was sad to see how other attendees reacted to the event. We live in a world that has brain washed us all to look for that magic pill or potion that will take away all of our issues and make us "healthy".  

They don't folks ... and our need for quick fixes is exactly why big food and big pharma are so flipping big. So join me on The Sickening Truth as we explore the root causes of chronic diseases and how we can make positive changes to live healthier, longer lives. Let's dive in and uncover the truth together.

In this episode of The Sickening Truth, I'm discussing the recent death of actor Lance Reddick and how his cause of death, heart disease, was labeled as "natural causes." But is heart disease really a natural cause of death? I'm challenging the traditional notion of what we consider "natural" and exploring how chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are actually preventable.

I'm also delving into the flaws of the traditional nutrition and dietetics education that promote unhealthy eating habits, leading to the rise in chronic diseases. It's time for a shift in the healthcare system towards prevention and empowering individuals to take control of their health.
