This Podcast Burns Fat!

Do you diet like a guru? Probably not. Simply because gurus don't diet. Gurus also don't use anything like food or alcohol to mask their emotions or numb their pain. The issue behind many of our weight problems tend to be that we use food as that support. They don't call it comfort food for nothing!

To explain how to reshape our approach to our food choices, we invited Dr. Rosie Kuhn to the show. Rosie shares how to make empowering decisions that lead to weight loss.

The Covid 15 plus the Holiday 15 can quickly become the 2020-30! So we had to do an emergency podcast so that we can give you all the tips and  tricks so that we can not only enjoy the Holidays, but keep off the unwanted weight.

In this podcast, Lori and I share our secrets on how we navigate the holiday season while keeping our health a top priority. We discuss everything from stress management, eating strategies, and supplementation.  

There's no debate that alcohol can put on pounds. When we drink, our ability to rationalize takes a back seat. So it's no surprise after a couple of drinks, we might see ourselves eating way more than we usually do. So do we have to stop completely drinking in order to lose weight? Not at all!

To share this good news and show us how to manage our alcohol intake, Georgia Foster joins the show. Georgia is the creator the 7 Days to Drink Less program which aims to control, not eliminate, alcohol consumption.

I don't know about you, but we are huge fans of the "For Dummies" book series. It is an excellent way to begin to understand complex topics in an easy way. So when we have the ability to have Rami Abrams, author of "Keto Diet For Dummies" on the show, we know that we are in for a treat.

Rami, also the founder of Tasteaholics, joins the show to break down the basics of the keto diet as well as the many misunderstood concepts of this lifestyle.  

It's hard to argue against a ketogenic diet with all of the amazing research that continues to come out about it. Not only is lasting weight loss achievable, being on a keto diet has shown to have an amazing impact on a host of other issues including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. 

Dr. Lori Shemek takes a step back from hosting the show to introduce her co-author Steve Welch and their book, The Ketogenic Key. They share 4 keto hacks that take the traditional keto diet and supercharge the results to another level.

The struggle to maintain a healthy weight is real. The most frustrating part, is that a majority of us have good intentions and put forth tremendous effort to live a healthy life. Yet we live in a sea of misinformation that impedes this very goal and we inevitably gain weight.

To lead us through this vicious cycle, we invited Vinnie Tortorich to the show. Vinnie is a Celebrity Fitness Trainer, speaker, podcaster and best-selling author of Fitness Confidential: Adventures in the Weight-Loss Game.

Living in a world with an abundance of food is a blessing.  It is also a challenge. For many, food as nourishment or fuel is a concept that many people take for granted. By losing this, it is easy for us to use food as a tool to deal with our emotions in an unhealthy way.

We invited Jessica Procini, founder of Escape From Emotional Eating, to the show to discuss this idea and how it relates to weight gain. Jessica's mission is to help high-achieving women heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can use food as fuel rather than a way to cope, soothe and attempt to escape their busy, stressful life.

Looks can be deceiving. You would think that a person who became a 3-time Natural Bodybuilding Champion would fall into a category of a person who has optimized his health. But in Wade Lightheart's case, that would be far from accurate.

Wade joins the show to share how he struggled with his health following the Mr. Universe competition, causing him to question his perspective on health. He learned how to optimize his digestion and changed to a plant-based diet, taking his bodybuilding and health to a new level. 

One of the worst things about dieting is that it requires us to pay a lot of attention to what we are going to eat next. And we all know that what we focus on, magnifies. This especially isn't a good place to be in when we may be inclined to emotionally eat.

So to unpack some of the underlying issues that cause us to obsess about food, we invited Tricia Nelson to the show. Tricia is the author of the bestselling book, Heal Your Hunger, 7 Simple
Steps to End Emotional Eating Now. Tricia has faced her own struggles with emotional eating, and after hitting emotional rock bottom, she was able to quit drinking and overeating and has maintained a 50-pound weight loss for 30 years.

It still amazes us how our medical leaders to this day overlook the role of diet in treatment of the illnesses that plague society. What we eat plays a huge role in how we feel. So why would mental health be any different? 

Brett Lloyd joins the show to drive the importance of diet choices when dealing with mental health. He shares his journey of how he discovered that, after countless prescriptions given to him to manage his depression over decades, his diet was the only thing that got him the results he yearned for.
