Health Unscripted

Hello, Unscriptors! I have seen a SLEW of content on social media about MLM products being the cure for all kinds of things, so I wanted to give my honest opinion on them! MLM stands for multilevel marketing, which is essentially a pyramid scheme. Brands like herbalife, beachbody, doterra, monat, amare, and savvi are MLM companies! Tune in and let me know your thoughts on my thoughts! If you have any questions, find me on IG @dr.dwyer and slide into my dms! To work with my team, head to www,teambdncoaching.com

Welcome back Health Unscripters! This week I have a really special episode with one of my best friends, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas! Kasey holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and is a certified health and fitness coach, her expertise is in mindset and health behavior change. She has transformed hundreds of lives (and minds) in her coaching career, while also being published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals for her research exploring the relationship between our mindset and our health and fitness behaviors. After finding so much success within her own online fitness coaching business, she also created an accredited certification program (The Health Mindset Coaching Certification) teaching other coaches how to effectively use the science of mindset and psychology to develop lasting change with their clients. We dive into how fixed vs. growth mindsets in this episode, as well as how to tackle summer vacations that make it tricky to stick to your goals! In true "Kasey and Ashley" fashion, we also chat a bit about dating and single life, as well as some astrology! Hope you enjoy! To follow Kasey and check out all of her amazingness, find her on IG @coachkaseyjo

Hellllooooooooooo, all! This week I wanted to go over something I see a lot of online, and something I actually had to change my mind around years ago. In this episode I dive into CICO, my old beliefs, how they've changed, and what it takes to be successful with your goals! For questions, please message me on IG @dr.dwyer :) Stay tuned for a special guest episode next week!

Where are my single ladies at?! Single men? Those who just enjoy being social??? Dating generally comes with dining out and grabbing some cocktails, so how do we enjoy our time on a date when we're trying to maintain our health, lose body fat, not drink a lot... This episode will shed light on my dating endeavors, while showcasing the practices I use in order to stay within my health goals and not totally derail my progress while going on multiple dates a week! Questions or comments? Find me on IG: @dr.dwyer

When I was younger, I was able to do, eat, and drink as I wanted and usually felt totally fine. Now? Now I need to do what my body wants, and essentially give it what it needs, in order to feel "totally fine". This week's episode is short and sweet and gives some food for thought when it comes to goals and what will actually get you what you WANT ;) To register for my Free macro workshop, #MasteringMacros - CLICK HERE!

I wanted to get her on the show so we could dive into TRT myths for men, stigmas around estrogen blockers, and how men should actually be prepping their bodies for testosterone therapy if that's the route they want to go! Ali is hosting an amazing educational seminar in Austin this November called The Silverback Summit. The speaker line up is INSANE and there are only 9 tickets left up for grabs!

More about Ali: "Hi, I'm Ali. I am a dog mom, meathead + I fucking love a good steak.  I also normalize boner talk.  I help busy men get jacked, look great naked, optimize testosterone + conquer nutrition. I do this by helping guys sift through the bullshit providing them with structure + a plan that works for their lifestyle.  I'm the one men hire when they have taken themselves as far as they can alone. I offer a highly unfiltered, truthful approach. I have coached thousands of attorneys, doctors, other coaches, CEO's, executives, veterans, current military, and any dude looking to optimize his health.  I have a true passion for men's health + have made it my life's work to help men reclaim their health through fitness, nutrition + hormone optimization. Normalizing boner talk, Ali's clientele consists of men who want to get jacked, optimize testosterone + conquer nutrition. She found her passion in men's health working alongside industry-leading medical practitioners, speaking at medical conferences, the Perform Better circuit + building an authoritative network to empower men with the proper understanding of true Testosterone optimization. Majoring in exercise science from Springfield College she has been a coach for 20 years."

This is part one of how your hormones aren't the one you should be blaming for your inability to lose weight. Instead, you should be blaming your habits and lifestyle choices because these are what are causing your hormones to be in disarray. In part one (this podcast), I'll be going over how your diet and dietary choices are impacting your hormones and what you can do to change this. In part two (next week), I'll dive into other habits outside of nutrition that also affect hormones! Questions?

First of all, I don't know why I started this off calling it "Semaglitude" - oops!Semaglutide (brand names are Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy) is the newest weight loss hot product on the market.Hundreds are flocking to their doctors or clinics, trying to get a prescription for this diabetic medication for its weight loss effects. But does it actually work and will it work long term?

When we think of stress, we think of our looming to-do lists, finances, deadlines, and maybe right now we're stressed about the holidays coming up! What we don't think about, are the other ways we are stressing our body out and how all of this stress compounds on itself and wreaks havoc! In this week's episode, I dive into the different types of stress we experience, how it affects the body, and how to manage these stressors. It's important to balance these stressors and control what we can so that we do not stay in a chronically stressed state! Liked this episode?

It's no secret that we overcomplicate weight loss. Cue, supplements, extreme calorie deficits, fad diets, pharmaceuticals, bull testicals… just kidding, kinda. After speaking with 100's of clients about their goals and diet history, it's clear to me this is one area that is made so so difficult when it really doesn't need to be. In this episode I go over how we complicate weight loss, as well as the things you really need to be paying attention to and mastering to see results (AND keep them!). I also share with you all that's been happening at TeamBDN!

In this week's episode, we're talking all things protein. Most individuals don't get enough protein in their diets either due to being uninformed or because of myths surrounding protein. Protein is an essential macronutrient and has A TON of activities it is responsible for in the body.

This episode is a vulnerable one!I wanted to dive even deeper, and maybe we'll get there in a future episode, but for now, this will cover the basics and show how toxic situations can negatively impact our health. Whether is a toxic work environment, relationship, friendship, or family situation... it may need to be addressed! Hopefully this episode can serve as an eye-opener to symptoms of toxicity, because most times we don't even realize we're in it!Thank you guys for tuning in!

This episode is near and dear to my heart.I get super raw and real as I dive into what its been like living with anxiety - How it started, how it's been going, things that have helped me cope and continue to press on...Our mental health can be JUST as big, if not bigger, than our physical health. In fact, our mental health shapes our physical health and can manifest as physical symptoms. If you or a loved one is struggling, know that you are not alone and that there is a LIFE WITH ANXIETY. Its a myth that you can just overcome it and live without it; instead, you must learn to live with it and detach yourself emotionally from it. My hopes in sharing my story are that it will inspire others to be honest with how they're really feeling (it's ok to feel shitty!) and to be an avenue of support for those needing a safe space to chat. PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to me via instagram or facebook to chat!

Welcome to another episode of Health Unscripted! This week I want to bust the myth that eating low cal is the way to weight loss. It certainly is a way to crash diet, but it's also a way to end up with endocrine imbalances and a slow metabolism!In this episode I break down TDEE and the changes eating low calorie will do to each component.I then go into more detail about the effects on our endocrine system - think hormones!If you're eating 1200-1400 calories per day or less and are ready for a reverse diet, please message me and lets chat! Please like, share, download, and subscribe if you enjoy these episodes!
