Remember Debbie Downer, the old SNL character who had a real pessimistic view of things?

Well, after my last couple of podcast episodes where I talked about how the preserved meats on charcuterie boards are bad, and how protein shakes aren't good either, I've been feeling like a Debbie Downer.

So in today's episode, I decided to turn things around and tell you what you CAN and SHOULD eat instead of telling you what you SHOULD'NT eat. I talk about how to build a charcuterie board that is beautiful, delicious, and contains all good things that serve you well, and I walk through how to build a protein smoothie that will keep you full with all the good things for a weight loss journey.

I hope you find this episode interesting, and if you do, please be sure to "like" this episode and subscribe to the podcast. These small gestures help us a lot to reach other professional women over 50 who are interested in losing weight for the last time. Enjoy!

Charcuterie boards have been around for a while, but in recent times they've really become popular across social media. And understandably so, right?

You can design them to your liking with your favorite fruits, nuts, seeds, meats, cheeses, jams, etc... and they are extremely aesthetically pleasing to look at.

In this podcast episode, we'll be talking about the good and the bad sides of charcuterie boards. They can be a lifesaver if you're ever at an event with limited food options and you want to get your protein, fiber and healthy fats, but they aren't necessarily something you want to introduce into your everyday life.

We'll talk about this and more, so be sure to tune in for the full scoop! And if you enjoy this episode, please be sure to "like" this episode and subscribe to the podcast.

In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Malathi Acharya, an integrative medicine physician and founder of Ayur Integrative Medicine. She is passionate about all elements of integrative medicine, including, nutrition, supplements, botanicals, mind-body treatments, and treatments from alternate medical systems.

We sat down to chat about antioxidants and where to find them. If you're a longtime listener of the podcast you know that I love to have berries everyday for their antioxidant properties, but it turns out that we get antioxidants from so many other foods that we eat everyday. We also discuss why it's important to incorporate antioxidants into your diet and the benefits of working with an integrative medicine doctor. 

You're not going to want to miss this episode, so be sure to tune in and hear about how you can optimize your health. And if you're interested in learning more about the amazing work that Dr. Acharya is doing, see the links below. Happy listening!

 Night-time eating. We've all been there, right?

It's just so easy and comforting to plop down on the couch with a snack and nibble on it, but as far as weight loss goes, it's not doing us any favors!

So, if we're on a weight loss journey, how do we cut this behavior out?

On this episode, we'll go over the 4 main reasons why people eat during the night, as well as how to override whatever the reason, so that you can feel nourished both physically and mentally during the time between eating dinner and going to bed.

"Breakfast like a Queen, lunch like a princess, and dinner like a pauper."

This is widely regarded as a healthy way to eat, and a way to eat that will help you along your weight loss journey. And I'm not going to argue with it! Studies have shown that eating a big breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and a smaller dinner is an effective way to both maintain and lose weight.

But you may be asking yourself, "What if I'm not hungry in the morning?" or "How can I have a sizable lunch and not get sleepy in the afternoon?"

In this episode of the Vibrant-MD podcast we'll talk about how you can experiment with these eating guidelines to make them work for you. After all, professional women are busy and not everybody works on the same schedule. So tune in for some tips on how you can take this simple but powerful eating strategy and apply it to your own weight loss journey.

Nuts are so nutritious and delicious, but so easy to overeat! We love their protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, mineral, and antioxidants, but we love to eat a lot of them. They are nutrient dense, which is a good thing, but also just plain DENSE. It's hard to stop at one serving with that delectable CRUNCH.

Today on the podcast, I let you know how much is a good amount, so you can enjoy these little goodies on your weight loss journey.

Please listen to this episode, as it contains some important health warnings about erythritol in processed foods. It is strongly associated with heart attacks and strokes, and makes blood flow clumpy and clotty instead of SMOOTH. This is dangerous, and I'll let you know how this is tied up with stevia and monkfruit as well. This is an episode to share with friends.
