I interviewed Dr. David Medansky. David Medansky, a non-practicing lawyer, is an international best-selling author and known as the Anti-Diet Advocate. At age 61, David was fat and told by my doctor he had a 95% chance of a fatal heart attack. David's doctor told him to find a new doctor because he did not believe David could lose weight and he did not want him dying on his watch.

During the next four months, David shed 50 pounds, 25% of his total body weight. He learned how to reduce weight without going on a diet, counting calories, or exercising. David understands your frustrations if you ever failed to lose weight on a diet because he tried every diet imaginable without success. And, if he did lose weight on a diet, he could not keep it off.

As a lawyer, David spent his career seeing both sides of the fence. Honest people and dishonest people. And when it comes to the food and weight loss industries, sadly there are more dishonest people than those who tell the truth. That’s what makes losing weight so difficult. We see labels telling us it’s low fat but that same food is high in sugar. While it’s true that sugary foods are “fat-free,” what the label fails to tell you is sugar causes fat to form inside your body later. Then there are all these vegan-friendly foods. Sounds healthy but they are filled with chemicals, dyes, and artificial preservatives. Oreo Cookies are a vegan food! Just like he had to read the fine print when he practiced law, he is now reading and exposing the fine print on food labels and diet programs.

People need a lawyer before buying a house, forming a business, planning an estate, or getting divorced. David is the anti-diet lawyer fighting for those that are overweight! He has read all the fine print, knows the loopholes, and can guide you on what works and doesn’t. However, rather than charge you $400 an hour for his service, you can get this book, Break the Chains of Dieting, for less than four dollars on Kindle or less than $20 as a paperback.

I encourage everyone to buy his books get in touch follow him and be transformed by his insights.

I've interviewed many in my life, but this one is close to my heart. I'm totally a student and admirer of Ian. This is my interview with Ian Hill. Ian is a Humanitarian, Business Leader, Award Winning Social Innovator, Professional Development Pioneer, and World Record Breaker; these are some of the words often used when referring to Ian Hill. Whether running a multi-million-dollar business operation with over 1000 employees or spearheading first-of-their-kind life-changing community projects, Ian Hill is recognized for being a catalyst for positive change throughout the world.

Today, Ian is CEO of the National Grassroots Media Corporation and its family of networks. These Digital TV and Radio networks reach 185 million households across the US and 3.1 billion mobile devices around the world. Ian is also a professional development expert who launched one of the most innovative professional and personal development models ever created. From the use of live video streaming starting as early as 2010 to a proprietary behavioral change model that helps participants maximize their potential personally and professionally, whole cities and major corporations have participated in his programs and benefited from demonstrated, quantifiable, and lasting change.

Currently, Ian is attempting to set another world record by becoming the oldest man to play college football. The effort is to save lives by de-stigmatizing mental health for men, as middle-aged men are 70% more likely to commit suicide than any other segment of the population, as well as introducing them to partner programs that will provide meaningful information and tangible tools that foster mental wellness, resiliency, and strength. Ian has partnered with the #1 long-snapping coach in the nation to achieve the record and already has interest from several top colleges.

Ian is also known for his humanitarian effort, “Let Them Be Kids”, of which he is the founder and volunteer CEO. This first-of-its-kind initiative builds playgrounds in areas of extreme need. “Let Them Be Kids” has impacted over 170 communities across North America and as far away as Africa. The World Leisure Congress named the Let Them Be Kids program one of the foremost innovative social leisure programs in the world. The National Council for Community and Justice and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission, recognized Ian for his commitment to positive change, by naming Ian Humanitarian of the Year. The Stand for Children Organization named Ian its Child Advocate of the Year.

I interviewed Renee Jones. Renee is an author, TEDx Speaker, a coach. blogger, and speaker. Renee has spent 40 years on Diet Yo-Yo before she got free of emotional eating, which helped her not only lose the pounds but maintain her goal weight since 2012. She redirected her practice to coach others to do the same. Renee has a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and a clinical residency in Pastoral Care. Her TEDx Talk on Emotional Eating has over 500,000 views and continues to grow, her book was an Amazon best-seller, and her clients span six continents.

Renee stated that as a coach and speaker, people often come to her when they have HAD IT with the latest quick fix -- whether that be diet or relationships. Oftentimes, they think the solution is buying another program, book, or magic pill. The truth is, they need to find what's driving them to something outside themselves for comfort or stress relief. Whether it's stress eating that creates weight issues, self-worth (that we think we surely ought to have sorted out by now), or relationships, healing comes down to finding what drives the behavior and facing it, healing our hearts. When we face our stuff, we no longer need to stuff our faces or drain our pocketbooks.
