Healthy Rebel Radio

Today on the show we discuss Dr. Duizer's new online course - Metabolism Healing 101. We discuss the purpose of the program, how the sessions will go, what members can expect and how we will help each member build their own long term plan for metabolic wellness.

Today we cover vegan pregnancy, natural birth prep, supplementation, lab testing, mindset advice and everything else Amy used to prepare for success for her two previous pregnancies.  Hear about setting expectations, who you need in your life at this time and how we coped with the challenges of pregnancy and having newborns.  Enjoy!

In today's episode we talk all things metabolism and metabolic rate. Dr. Duizer does resting metabolic rate and active metabolism tests in his clinic. His experience in completing these tests has enabled him to help solve some of the most difficult weight-loss cases out there. For any of you who have had a difficult time either losing weight or keeping it off this episode is for you. Metabolic testing opens the window to appropriate treatment for weight loss. Finding the right mixture of exercise and nutrition becomes simple with the data available from a metabolic test. Today we talk about fat max training, VO2 Max enhancement and progressive overload. We discuss how to improve resting metabolic rate and get the most out of each training session. Enjoy.

In today's episode we discuss clear evidence for activities and supplements that help enhance and support immune function.  The basics can be powerful and today we show why and how to make sure you are getting the value out of them that you can.  We review Vitamin C, D3, zinc as well as what is optimal sleep, stress reduction and appropriate exercise. 

On today's episode we discuss how we are keeping our mindset for growth, improvement and success while our priorities shift to being good parents.  If you have gone from being a hard working, driven, independant person to someone with the same goals, values and drive but also children to nurture and provide for you know how difficult this can be.  In our episode today we share what is working for us, what balance really means now and how we prioritize work and play. 

Sticking to a plant based diet doesn't require siginificant discipline, planning or focus if you know how to make meals and purchase groceries properly. In today's episode we review how we do it.  We have been eating this way for over 10 years and really have the hang of it. Listen now to hear how we make it happen day in and day out. 

Over the last decade we have worked with thousands of women and men from all over the world who have been trying to include more plants in their diet, become vegetarian and/or support a healthy vegan diet. Through this work we have learned what many of the common challenges and concerns can be when switching to a plant-based diet.  The wonderful news is that most of these concerns actually have very simple solutions.  This week we’re going to be sharing our top five challenges we see when individuals are switching to a plant-based diet (or eating a heavy plant diet) and how to simply overcome those hurdles. Enjoy!

It has been a difficult year overall for everyone. 2020 has presented so many different challenges that we did not see coming. In this episode we discuss how we coped, what we learned and how we are moving forward. Join us as we review month by month our mentality, what we were up to and how our lives changed.  We are proud to be back publishing podcast as Healthy Rebel  Radio. We love doing the show and we look forward to doing more.

This all adds up to long sleepless nights and very poor recovery, high stress and sometimes poor food choices. Still we somehow are able to practice self-care.

Fasting can be extremely difficult. It is very tough to stay focused on the positive benefits when you are so hungry you could eat your couch.

In today's show we discuss the struggle of suffering from burnout while on a weight loss journey. We cover what burnout is, how it can occur, how it can make weight loss extremely difficult and how to overcome the frustrating symptoms of extreme low energy. Many of us believe fatigue is normal, complete exhaustion happens to everyone and there isn't anything that can be done for those who are not ill but simply "tired". These assumptions are incorrect. Aside from lifestyle factors like stress and lack of sleep cortisol management, melatonin cycles and vitamin/mineral status are all important in evaluating exhaustion. Optimizing your life and weight loss can be made easy. With natural hormone rhythms and proper digestion the body can be made extremely resilient to burnout. Listen today to hear our burnout stories and simple steps you can take to ease your journey and take back control of your energy.

In today's episode we discus how making a conscious shift from having "problems" to participating in "challenges" can set us up for lasting health/weight loss success and positive achievement in all areas of life. When you look at any experience, event or occurrance in life as a "problem" you are withdrawing your personal power, influence and ability to overcome the situation. By renaming/identifying the experience as a "challenge" you can automatically generate personal power and motivation to succeed. Today we share our experiences with this mindset shift and outline how its use can be beneficial on a weight loss journey.
