Clinical psychologist Dr. Candice Seti is an acclaimed author and weight management specialist. She dissects the intricate connection between sleep, eating habits, and weight control. Dr. Seti articulates the crucial role of quality sleep in replenishing our energy levels and reducing food cravings, notably for high-calorie junk food. Quality sleep makes us feel more satisfied with our meals and more inclined to choose healthier food.  We also dive into the fascinating world of hormones and how inadequate or poor-quality sleep disrupts the delicate balance of hormones that regulate our appetite.

"What felt like such weakness was really my greatest moment of strength," says Alex Greer about recognizing his addiction to alcohol. Alex is a successful entrepreneur and owner of Funky Pickle Productions in the Atlantic City area. Alex had friends, a good family, a nice place to live, and a business and steady income; he was thriving and successful by most measures. Yet, alcohol had become a problem in his life. When he finally admitted it to himself and the people who loved him, he found the help he needed. Today, he is living a better, happier, and healthier life, free from alcohol. As he recovered, he created Funky Pickle Productions, which hosts fun and exciting philanthropic pickleball events. I met him at a fundraising event that provides treatment assistance for people with addiction. He spoke publicly for the first time about his problems with alcohol and how he found the courage to overcome this addiction. His willingness to share his journey made such an impact on me that I invited him to be a guest on my podcast.
