In this episode we discuss the question: "At what point should I start working with a metabolic health practitioner instead of doing this journey along?"

We reference two organizations that list health practitioners in the US that can help you with your metabolic needs.

1. ABOM, American Board of Obesity Medicine. This is the link to their physician directory: https://abom.learningbuilder.com/public/membersearch.

2. SMHP, Society for Metabolic Health Practitioners. This is the link for their directory: https://www.metabolicpractitioners.org/membership-account/directory/

With the start of a new year, people are starting new diets. Although we recorded a similar podcast a few episodes ago, we felt it important to discuss this topic again.

These are some of the common mistakes we discuss in this podcast:

1. Getting overwhelmed.

2. Comparing my journey with the journey of others.

3. Tracking calories.

4. Not listening to my body and it's own cues.

5. Not getting enough sleep.

6. Not drinking enough water or electrolytes

7. Trying to eat less.

This is the article that Sheryl referenced in the podcast:

Asadollahi, T., Khakpour, S., Ahmadi, F., Seyedeh, L., Tahami, Matoo, S., & Bermas, H. (2015). Effectiveness of mindfulness training and dietary regime on weight loss in obese people. Journal of medicine and life, 8(Spec Iss 4), 114–124.

As we consider setting goals for improvement, the topic of motivation always seems to come up. In this episode we break down the role of motivation in making healthy lifestyle changes. We talk about what it is, what it isn't, and what you can do to reach your healthy goals.

In this episode we discuss all about fats in a healthy diet. We talk about the good fats, the bad fats, and how much we should actually be eating.
