Shana Hussin is a registered dietitian and has been in the field for over 23 years. She was trained in the conventional system and given conventional guidelines to follow as a dietitian.  Down the line of her practice, one of her sons got very ill and the only solution they were given was to mask the symptoms without even exploring the possibility of healing through nutrition protocols. This is when she realized there were other ways to heal a lot of disease processes. She started questioning a lot of what she had learned and went back into the health field. Since then she has been helping people reverse insulin resistance and even wrote a book called Fast to Heal: a 5-step guide to achieving nutritional peace. In this podcast, we dive into how she's helped her clients reverse insulin resistance and manage their weight. We're talking about people suffering from type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, obesity, PCOS, high blood pressure, and more. Keep listening if you want to learn more about her methods and how you can start today.

Holidays are upon us and in this episode, we wanted to focus on several topics with regard to health and fitness. Louisa and I have both been subject to the social pressure of having to look a certain way and believe holidays give way to much criticism, destructive ideologies, and sometimes even self-hate. What I mean by this is that when trying to be healthy and stay fit we might try to go to extremes and forget to enjoy what the holidays are all about. Family, friends, and yes, food. In this episode, we talk about how we each struggled with holidays in the past, and how we see and live them now, plus, a few tips for feeling better before, during, and after big family meals without restricting in any way.

For some time now, people have been looking at the word diet through a negative looking glass. The reason for this is that the word in the past decades has been associated directly with weight loss diets and how society has put pressure on many of us to look a certain way. However, the reality of it is that diet is simply the way we eat, our eating lifestyle for that matter. In this podcast, Noor Struik a low-carb nutritionist who has been collaborating with us for over 3 years, and Louisa Mesquita, our founder, talk about the low-carb diet and how they started following it because they weren't happy about the way their bodies felt. I think it's fair to say almost everyone has tried some kind of weight loss/weight gain diet at some point in their lives, however, whether it was successful in what you were trying to achieve or not, in our conversation we talk about everything else that goes underneath. From fatigue to loss of strength to nutrient deficiencies, dieting just for physique never has a positive outcome. Towards the end, we dive into ways to optimize our health once we've reached a point of having a better relationship with food, our body, and our mind. It's not about giving advice for all, but about learning how to hear your body and look out for signs so you can constantly be helping yourself become your best version.
