Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?".  She argues that restrictive diets and intense exercise plans create a cycle of difficulty and ultimately fail because they train your brain for "hard work" instead of  training it for"ease."

On this week's episode of Outweigh, Leanne tackles a question on every woman's mind stuck in the diet-and-weight-loss cycle: "Does it ever get easier?"  Leanne challenges the idea of quick-fix diets and restrictive plans, arguing that they simply create more of the yo-yo effect that you're desperate to break free from AND leave you feeling like a prisoner in your own body.

Instead, she proposes a different approach:  ...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
