If there is a common denominator with people who are timid about losing weight, it is that they don't trust anyone anymore. 

Whether that is themselves or the professional they are working with, or any other program or app that is presented to them. 

So they give up, they don't bother, because how can they all be right and yet I am still overweight?? 

Great question...

If you want to get an idea of how to trust yourself, and ...

Do you think life should be easy?  

I am sure you want it to be. I mean, who doesn't? The truth is, life is a lot easier now than it was even 20 years ago. The problem we can face now is how to respond when life gets difficult, what to do when the weight isn't going down as fast as we like or when we hit a plateau and the weight won't budge.

Do we get frustrated? Depressed? Do we give up?

I sure hope not! This episode i...

That is a very important component, but WHEN you eat can have just as much impact on your body as what you eat OR different hormones such as cortisol, estrogen and thyroid hormones.  

In this episode, we will examine the ideal time to eat food, especially if you want to lose and maintain weight.

Are there only 3? 

In truth, there are more, but from my experience working with many people, these three bad habits seem to create universal issues. 

If you are not getting to where you want to be, you probably need to take it to the next level.  The knowledge is out there, but do you know how to apply it, stay accountable, or stay consistent?

Have you been told your thyroid is why you can't lose weight?  

That can be frustrating, especially if, after taking the supplements for a poorly functioning thyroid, the weight still doesn't come off.

When we look at healthcare we really need to understand what we have as opposed to what it should be.  Currently we don't have a typical healthcare model and because of that, we can improve and change. 

Weight management will work extremely well if we change the model and attitudes of the people who both deliver and participate in it. 

This podcast will show you a better way to access and use healthcare.  In fact, it may be the ...
