  • Book Report - The Secret Life of Fat

    Beth read an excellent book, "The Secret Life of Fat, the Science Behind the Body’s Least Understood Organ, and What it Means For You". It was a great read on an organ that is so vilified and yet not talked about its importance. When we understand how something functions and why things may be going awry, we can look at it objectively instead of thinking something is wrong with us. So tune in to learn about what fat does for us!

    A special reminder note - not all excess fat is bad, not everyone's fat beyond "the norm" is sending out inflammation and other health-related alarm signals. Getting lab work is really, really helpful! Data, not drama.

  • 37 - Perfectionism and Failure

When you step out of that structure does your brain make you think you are a failure? We are here this week to rescue you from this thought error that 1) perfectionism is real and 2) how that relates to eating and your body.
