Weight Loss is one of the top concerns my clients put down on their intake paperwork. But when I look at the paperwork I typically find a myriad of health issues. Some are actually very serious. But weight loss is the number one concern. Is that wrong? No it's not wrong.

But this may be the wrong focus. We all want to be healthy. But in all honesty we REALLY want to see a certain number on the scale or we want to fit in a certain pair of jeans right!

Today we are talking about how we shifted our focus and what we try to focus on. We also chat about how we manage mindset and what we do when we have moments of disappointment.

If you identify with what we are saying let us know by leaving a review on iTunes. We appreciate the feedback. Our goal is to share our journey with as many people as possible in hopes to help someone else. If you follow us regularly you know we are well over the age of 40 (we are almost 50!) and while much of our content is ageless, we do focus primarily on our peer group...you know who you are! You're in my world now Grandma!

Hey guys! We are all still living that quarantine life. We hope today's podcast finds you healthy and happy!

Today Steve and I are chatting about getting back to one of the key basic Keto Principles. When you've been doing something for a while there comes a time when you just need to get back to what made it work at the beginning! We are talking about getting back to our deliciously fatty keto roots.

And of course we will be talking about workouts, dietary strategies and a new topic for you...Menopause. So tune and in and let's chew the fat!

Don't get me wrong. Fasting is a beneficial tool in the war on Metabolic Disease and other health related issues. But it isn't always prudent for everyone to do it consistently for long periods of time.

I'm not talking about planned extended fasts that are designed to reset the immune system. I'm talking about continuous Intermittent Fasting.

That's one of our main topics today. Should you be fasting so damn much?

We know this is a difficult time in all of our lives and we appreciate you stopping and taking the time to chat with us via social media and listening to this podcast. We really are better when we are together. #alonetogether

This has been a surreal few weeks guys!

Today Steve and I wanted to just show up and chat with you about some of our experiences during this Covid19 quarantine. Much of the world's population have been instructed to stay in their homes and most non essential businesses are closed. Yet many others who are essential workers are giving everything they have to take care of the sick during this crisis, or to keep the country stocked up on toilet paper. Seriously who knew toilet paper would be this big a deal?!?

We know we all have a part to play during this time. If your part is to simply do nothing that comes with its own type of stress. How do you handle the next 30+ days?

Today we are talking about a few of our strategies to work through the next 30 days. We have also experimented with some metabolic flexibility in the last couple of weeks. It's interesting how being keto for so long has afforded us a measure of metabolic flexibility that we did not have before.

The most important plan we have is to laugh every day!

Share with us what you plan to do for the next 30+days.

We are chatting today about the push for dietary diversity and if it's actually something that's necessary for optimal health. Do you need a rainbow of variety from around the globe to actually be healthy? Does our gut microbiome need bananas from Guatemala and Mango from the Caribbean or South America? How about depending on Kale for gut health if you live in North Dakota in the winter?

Let's peel this topic back like a Vidalia Onion from Vidalia, Georgia and see what happens.

The role of Type II Muscle Fiber and aging in conjunction with a Low Carb, Carnivore or Keto diet approach to eating has some very interesting implications for those of us in the 40 and above crowd. Listen up and let us know what you think!

We also continue the conversation about sleep disturbances and some things you can do to get a handle on the situation.
