To expand on how to embark on this lifestyle, we invited Kim Shapira to the show.

As we age, hormonal changes occur, impacting various bodily functions. During this time we may experience changes in growth hormone, insulin, and thyroid hormones, that affect metabolism, energy levels, muscle mass, and overall health. So what if we can gain a better understanding of these changes and not have to deal with the downside that we see so often as we age?

Our understanding of fascia is an ongoing process that continues to fascinate us all. Once it appeared to just be something that seemed to be in the way of our major organs and tissues, research is showing us just how powerful and important fascia is for our overall health and wellbeing. So it comes as no surprise that fascia has a role in weight loss as well.

It's well known that New Year's resoultions fizzle and burn well before they ever get any traction. It's not because we don't have the best intentions. After all, we all set them and have the desire to achieve these goals. But something happens, and it happens fast. In fact, Researchers suggest that only 9% of Americans that make resolutions complete them. Additionally, research goes on to show that 23% of people quit their resolution by the end of the first week, and 43% quit by the end of January. What if there is a legit strategy to exponentially increase the odds?
