This Podcast Burns Fat!

The concept of intuitive eating is an incredibly difficult one when presented to a dieter. This is partly because we were all intuitive eaters before we went on our first diet. We knew what we needed to eat and when we needed to eat. After that, we follow the specifics of a diet and never get to restore our true relationship with food.

Stephanie Dodier joins the show to share her tips on how to make peace with food and your body. She is an Intuitive Eating Expert who also specializes in body image issues.

As we move past our 2nd month of quarantine, it is becoming apparent that we haven't been only binging on Netflix. Americans have rekindled their flames with their favorite snacks and alcoholic beverages, creating a recipe for weight gain.

Dr. Vincent Pedre joins the show to share his insight on how to get to the other side of the pandemic as close to our ideal weight as possible. He shares his tips on how to rid ourselves of unwanted weight during these uncertain times.

All great works of art need a blueprint to come to life. Our body is no different.  The blueprint that we are given is our genes. Luckily, science is showing that we have way more control over our gene expression than we realize.

Julian Hayes joins the show to discuss why our genes aren't our destiny and to share some simple ways we can create a new destiny despite our family's history. Julian is a human performance and health optimization advisor who helps leverage genomics, technology, and systems-thinking.

One of the most overlooked aspects that explains why we have such difficulty sticking to a diet is our emotional obsession with certain foods. Why is it that we find such comfort in certain foods when we are feeling a certain way emotionally about ourselves? Why is it that we have certain rituals around food that aren't always in our best interests?

Adrienne Ngai joins the show to discuss this concept and how we can be more mindful of these pitfalls. Adrienne is a registered dietician who overcame her fear of food leading her to a balanced dieting approach and a healthier life.

It is very difficult to let go of things that feel SO good for you in the moment, yet are SO bad for you in the long run. Life presents many examples of this including, relationships, drugs, and some of our food choices. 

Dr. Robert Cywes, aka the Carb Addiction Doc, joins the show to discuss how to step out of our abusive relationship with carbs. He shares his philosophy that only when we can understand the cause of diabetes or obesity, can you truly treat it to remission. 

Over the past few weeks, Lori and I have been bombarded with questions about our thoughts on the corona virus. And rightfully so. With the fear and concern over the safety of ourselves and our loved ones and with so much shifting information, we felt compelled to address the elephant in the room.

So in this episode, we shift gears away from fat loss and talk about how we are personally dealing with this health crisis. We share our daily routines that help boost our immune systems so that we are better prepared to fend off the virus and to stay healthy.

Can a plant-based diet boost metabolic rate and affect how body fat is stored and burned? Nutrition researcher and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Neal Barnard, answers a resounding YES!!

Dr. Barnard joins the show to discuss how foods affect our hormones and our health.  In his new book, Your Body in Balance, Dr. Barnard shares the science behind how common hormone-related conditions like infertility, weight gain, menopausal symptoms, breast and prostate cancers, thyroid problems, and acne, can be affected by and improved by simple diet changes. 

Sometimes you come across something that seems too good to be true. What if I told you that you could eat croissants and pancakes AND still lose weight? What if we don't have to be scared of carbs anymore?

Brad Marshall, founder of The Croissant Diet, joins the show to share the science behind this theory. He discovered that it is the type of fats that we consume, not the carbs, that have the most impact on our weight. 

It's hard to believe that Dr. Barry Sears blessed us with The Zone Diet 25 years ago. Fortunately for us, Dr. Sears has continued his dedication to researching how the foods that we eat impact our health and our weight.

Dr. Sears joins the show to discuss his latest book, The Resolution Zone, which cements his legacy as the anti-inflammation guru! He shares how the Resolution Response provides a new unifying theory to understand why we develop chronic disease and gain weight.

Our body needs fuel to perform. The foods that we eat decide whether we burn that fuel in the form of carbs or sugar or whether we use our stored body fat reserves for that energy.

To discuss how to get into this metabolic state efficiently, we invited Dr. James Bentz to the show. Dr. Bentz is called "The Brain Doctor" and has utilized the same blueprint to optimize brain health as he does to tackle obesity.
