Podcasts about bmi body mass index

In this episode of Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor and Mark Wright explore one of the most contentious topics in the world of health and fitness: the definition and measurement of fat.  BMI (Body Mass Index) has long been the standard, but recent studies have called its efficacy into question. Dr. Cooper reveals why BMI can be a flawed indicator of health, exploring alternate measurements like waist circumference and body composition while discussing their limitations and potential misuses.  This episode highlights the real issue: identifying and treating metabolic dysfunction and achieving true health beyond just numbers on a scale or tape measure. Key Takeaways:  BMI: A Flawed Metric? Dr. Cooper reveals the limitations of BMI. She shares intriguing insights into how factors like muscle mass and gender-specific body composition can skew BMI readings and recounts fascinating stories from her career, including a case where an Olympic athlete was classified as obese purely based on BMI. The Lancet's Insight. The team discusses a recent paper by the esteemed Lancet Commission, which argues for de-emphasizing BMI in favor of other health indicators. They dive into the importance of looking at the complete clinical picture, including blood sugar swings, energy levels, and more. Anecdotes and Real-life Experiences. Andrea Taylor shares her journey of struggling with various diets until discovering metabolic dysfunction as the root problem.  Insurance and Medical Ethics. Discover the ethical dilemmas of using BMI for decisions on insurance coverage and medical treatments. Mark brings attention to startling cases where statistically healthy individuals were denied life insurance based on high BMI. Resources: Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.

I have been struggling with my body weight since I was 35, and I’m now 60. I know that not all listeners are familiar with the kilogram as unit of measurement, but we can use the BMI (Body Mass Index) formula to discuss this. It should be somewhere between 22 and 25 and mine has been 33 for a long time. A very long time. No matter what I tried. Yes, I tried some diets but they only work if you keep doing them. So if something does not become normal or easy than at some inevitable point you will stop and gain weight again. Yes, they talk about changing your life style but any change that is too drastic is bound to fail in the end. And then recently I read this book. This absolutely changed my life and that is why I am so motivated to tell you all about it. Book obesity code, Jason Fung, a Canadian nephrologist (kidney specialist). He is also a functional medicine advocate who promotes a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet and intermittent fasting. But we come back to that later. Not another diet hype. That is an industry on its own. This is scientific stuff. With lots of links to research papers. With large groups and thoroughly peer reviewed. And this does not mean that this story is for everyone. There exist other medical reasons why people gain weight. But, assuming most people start out in life being healthy, then most people gaining weight are not ill. So, if you gain weight, consult your doctor first to rule out any medical reasons. Jason Fung noticed that practice didn't match with theory. Everybody who is given insulin gains weight. Even diabetes type 2 people. There are even several scientific studies that proves this. Give people insulin and they will gain weight. So what if insulin is the culprit for gaining weight? Insulin is a hormone. Its job is to send signals through the body. Its use is to allow body cells to absorb nutrients in the blood stream. Every time you eat the insulin peaks and subsides normally three times a day. Body process called gluconeogenesis. Making fat in the liver for one day storage. If you eat the body makes insulin. That is normal. If you eat more, the body makes more insulin. Body cells adjust to the higher level and become tone deaf to insulin: Insulin resistant. This means next time the insulin level needs to be higher. And higher levels of insulin mean you will gain weight. If you eat sugar, it is so easy to break down that it goes immediately into storage, e.g. body fat. The thing is, wheat is chemically a long string of sugars. So the body will break it down into sugar and send that too to storage. And almost any food we buy these days contains sugar. Except unprocessed foods like vegetables. How to lose weight? Well, the body needs to access the fat in storage. So we need to extend not eating until the liver has run dry of the daily dose of liver fat. This is very easy. Just extend the daily period that you do not eat. When do you not eat? When you sleep. So, skip breakfast. The name says it all, you are breaking your fast. Drink some coffee (no sugar of course), or tea, or water and try to start eating later in the day. And another word for not eating is fasting. But it is a voluntary fast! So I tried this for one day. Skip breakfast and try to eat it at noon. I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right? The next day I had lost some weight. And it was sooo easy! I could say 300 grams but again, your mileage may vary or you have no clue what one gram is, let alone 300. But that is not the point. The point is that I lost weight! And to me this has been super easy. So the solution turns out to be: extend the time your insulin levels are low. 16, 24 or 36 hours. eat as little sugar as possible. Which brings me to food categories. carbohydrates. Sugars, wheat, flour proteins. fats. Oil, etc. vitamins and minerals fibers Average digestion times of carbohydrates. 30 minutes. After which you will be hungry again proteins: 3-5 hours fats. Oil, etc. up to 40 hours vitamins and minerals. needed fibers. Leave the body How has all this theory changed my life and diet? I try to start eating at noon, sometimes an hour earlier I eat as little carbohydrates as possible. Little to no bread, definitely no sugar, avoid artificial sweeteners my meal at noon is most of the times quark with some fruit for flavoring evening food: Vegetables are good. Some meat is good. I try to avoid desserts No eating between meals (this will cause an extra insulin peak I want to avoid) Since I started 2 month ago I have on average lost 4 kilograms. It could have been more but then there’s the occasional dinner with friends and what is bad, but soo good, is unavoidable. So, some other stuff that is good to know: What’s that about exercising? Well, we humans, excel at walking and thus wearing out our prey. So walking is good. Everyday for half an hour is great. Doing an intensive workout for a minimum of 10 minutes per week is good to keep our cardiovascular system and our brain up to speed Can you compensate cookies with sports. Well, every cookie would take you about 2.5 hours of intensive sports, so no, you can not compensate bad eating with sports. What’s with the calories in are calories out? Studies have proven that this is a false claim. It just doesn't work that way. What about stress. Well, it turns out that stress leads to heightened levels of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. And when cortisol rises, so too does the insulin levels in your body. So, this simply means that stress will lead to weight gain. Can I simply drink diet sodas. Well, bummer there, because although it diet sodas do not contain calories nor sugars, they will result in a rise in your insulin level, so they are not good for loosing weight.

“They find our bodies repulsive.” On episode 96 of Overthink, Ellie and David bring on Dr. Kate Manne, philosopher and author of Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia. She explains the moral failures and biomedical perils of our fatphobic culture and its misleading imperative to diet. This look at the politics of fat, fatness, and fatphobia in the philosophical canon and beyond to reveal rich links to questions of accessibility, justice, and intimacy. Should we trust the BMI (Body Mass Index) as a measure of health? Is the future in Ozempic? Why are we encouraged to see our body's biological need for nutrition as “food noise”?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a health indicator that assesses your body weight in relation to your height. It's a tool to gauge whether you fall within a healthy weight range or if there might be an increased risk of health issues associated with being underweight or overweight. Calculating your BMI involves a straightforward formula, which takes into account your weight and height. Understanding your BMI can serve as a starting point for making informed decisions about your health and fitness goals. In this episode of NUTRITION. SIMPLIFIED. I am going to simplify BMI for you to make it more understandable. My goal is to create a community where everyone understands different health, fitness and nutrition jargon at a more easier to understand level. So come along and let's get into the world of BMI (Body Mass Index). - Don't forget to like, comment and share this video to spread awareness!

Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz Obesity as an Intermediate Step in VA Disability.Leah explains that while obesity itself isn't directly service-connected, it can act as a bridge linking service-related conditions to other medical issues. For instance, a veteran's service-connected disability might lead to obesity, which in turn causes another condition. Leah delves into the definition and categories of obesity based on BMI (Body Mass Index) and mentions the landmark Walsh vs. Wilkie case, which set a precedent for obesity as an intermediate step in such claims. She outlines the criteria for establishing a connection between service-related disability, obesity, and subsequent health issues. Leah provides examples of conditions like mental health disorders, orthopedic ailments, and asthma, which can lead to obesity, and secondary conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and sleep apnea that might be linked to obesity. If you would like more information on our services including Independent Medical Opinion Letters often referred to as nexus letters and records review, please check us out here: https://www.prestigeveteranmctx.com/ #obesity #veterans #health

Think after 40 muscle is a thing of the past? Think again!  There was a time when I was a cardio bunny. I dabbled in strength training but spent hours each week, sometimes a day, doing “aerobics.”  We tend to think, because we were told it so often for decades, that aerobic activity is best for fitness. Even though more and more science featuring postmenopausal women shows muscle has the most influence on numerous components of health, we're still drawn to “cardio.”  Are you at a point what you're doing isn't working, yet found yourself reluctant to exchange cardio for strength training? This is for you.  Women Need Muscle-Centric Exercise More Than Men Women begin with less muscle and more fat than men. Fat is essential for reproduction. Once hormones needed for reproduction, but also muscle maintenance, decline during the menopause transition, fat tends to increase and muscle loss is pronounced.  One reason that “cardio” doesn't “burn the fat” or boost metabolism is that with the decline of sex hormones, women are more susceptible to negative effects of stress. (2) Cardio, in the way we've always done it, tends to increase stress. (3) At this same time, women tend to become more insulin resistant. A body under stress stores fat in a form of self-preservation. It can't both burn and store fat. The stress hormone cortisol and insulin team up and tend to increase fat deposits around the belly. At midlife, doing more cardio to lose belly weight may actually cause more belly fat.  Keep Stress Low Short walks, even longer hikes, or short bursts of high intensity can certainly reduce the overall stress impact of exercise. That is, keep the stress positive. That hinges most on whether you enjoy, or find joy in, the activity and monitor your stress from all areas of life, adjusting as needed. However, these cardio activities don't influence fat burning beyond the activity. They don't increase muscle mass. Exercise that increases lean muscle mass, however, will not only improve body composition, but many of the symptoms of menopause, and increases healthy lifespan. This goes far beyond just risk of falls.  After 40 muscle is harder, not impossible to build. After 50 it's harder than that. Start.  You've Been Robbed Muscle loss begins at about 30. Studies vary on rate of loss being approximately 3-8% per decade or up to 1% annually after 30 but agree this rate is even higher both during the menopause transition and increases after 60. In severe instances, there is 50% total muscle loss by 80.   Muscle mass losses alter body composition (less muscle means more fat even if you don't gain fat) and are directly correlated with insulin resistance. Not only is this acutely frustrating for women with stubborn weight or belly fat, but long term can lead to type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and osteoporosis.  Recent History's Influence on Muscle and Health Though we're past the worst of the pandemic, we're going to see consequences of the pandemic for years. On average 42% of the population gained weight, on average 29 lbs., during the pandemic.  It wasn't muscle. Gyms were closed. Dumbbells weren't available. For women during the menopause transition when muscle and bone loss can accelerate significantly, (8) is greater chance of early disability. Lack of the muscle stimulus from estrogen combined with lack of strength training to offset it, could mean greater levels of sarcopenia and osteoporosis if not mitigated. Basic Muscle Facts  To gain muscle, you need strength, or resistance training. Women need strength training more than cardio. Women need strength training even more than men. Women 50 or older need strength training more than women 30.  Menopause-Related Reasons to Gain Muscle in Midlife Let's be honest, we're more motivated by immediate gratification than long term risk aversion. Muscle provides both. Well-documented menopause symptoms include but are not limited to: Insomnia Depression Anxiety Hot Flashes  Night Sweats  Weight Gain Fat gain Loss of muscle tone Belly Fat Insulin Resistance  Bone loss Muscle, and muscle building activity, or resistance training, has been shown to improve each and every one of these symptoms.  What's more, strength training surpasses cardio training in doing so. Cardio-induced stress is catabolic, meaning muscle breaks down at a faster rate.  There's more to love about muscle. It decreases inflammation. Inflammation that is linked to many diseases, particularly, Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Termed, type 3 diabetes, Alzheimer's is also a function of blood sugar. There's a direct correlation between amount of muscle mass and risk of AD and dementia. At age 65 a woman's risk of Alzheimer's is 1 in 5.  We are going to outlive men. We're going to need our strength to retain independence. Convinced? Here's how to know you're on the right path.  Measure How Much Muscle You Have Body composition can't be tracked by a scale alone. Invest in a Smart Scale, that is one that measures body fat percent at the least. If it gives you muscle mass in pounds or kgs, even better. You however can do the mass if you have weight and percent body fat.  Don't make the mistake of using BMI (Body Mass Index) as a measure of body composition. You don't know if your muscle is going up, down, or staying the same with BMI. When you know, you can modify exercise or lifestyle habits to support your muscle. It's better to know regularly than to find out annually or occasionally from the doctor or a gym. After 40 Muscle Building Tips Begin strength training twice weekly if you're not After a period of adaptation, reach temporary muscle fatigue each set  Begin with one set of weights you can lift 15-20 times  Progress after 1-2 weeks to weights you can only lift 12-15 times  Progress to two sets after 1-2 weeks Alternate this increase or either sets and or decrease repetitions  Maintain a regular 3 or more set strength training habit twice a week Prioritize sleep  Consume high quality protein throughout the day What Matters Most All of the exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle tips matter. But the greatest of these is strength training. That is, if you begin strength training without increasing protein intake or prioritizing sleep, you'll still benefit. Exercise is a catalyst for other health change however, so you may just find you sleep better because of the exercise, and that you're more conscious of your protein intake.  Work up to twice weekly total body sessions strength sessions with at least 3 sets of 8-10 muscle groups as heavy as you safely can. Watch your energy and overall Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) go up because you've increased strength without undue fatigue and soreness. For midlife women, this sweet spot for gaining lean muscle is the key to something that can be maintained for life, and that upgrades life. Long-term Wins with After 40 Muscle  When women strength train, their future changes for the better. Following exercise programs focused on resistance training rather than weight or fat loss, weight and body composition of postmenopausal women were maintained over a six-year period. By comparison, subjects with low levels of participation, or cardio-only programs, experience significant increases in weight, fat, and belly fat.   A midlife client once said to me, “I don't care what the question is, the answer is exercise.”  I couldn't agree more, but to be most accurate, for women over 50, its exercise with strength training as its foundation.

Self-love superpower, Dr. Karla When it comes to helping children, teens, and parents who have struggled with weight gain, health issues like pre-diabetes, fatty liver disease, PCOS, and body image, why haven't we gotten anywhere? Have we caused harm? Share in the comments below! Let's call out where we've gone wrong. What are our 3 epic fails? 1. Parents are not supported to really help children and teens make. healthy lifestyle changes within the environments we live. 2. Despite its lack of effectiveness and potential harms, healthcare has taken on diet culture's calories in/calories out fixed and limited belief and we can't seem to let it go. 3. Our approach, specifically fixation on weight and BMI (Body Mass Index) has created stigma and weight blame and shame for children and teens. Ready to learn more about flipping the script?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a universal health tool. Dr Karl and Dr Nick delve into its past and why it still is an indicator of good health despite many shortcomings.  intervalweightloss.com.au  

Der Body Mass Index (kurz BMI) setzt Gewicht und Körpergröße ins Verhältnis. Viele Menschen nehmen diesen Wert als Maßstab, um zu beurteilen, ob sie zu dick, zu dünn oder vielleicht doch normal gewichtig sind. Viele Institutionen bestimmen anhand des BMI, ob ein Mensch gesund ist oder nicht. Dabei weiß man mittlerweile, dass auch vermeintlich schlanke Menschen, eine Menge Bauchfett speichern können, das wiederum alles andere als gesund ist. In diesem healthy shot erfährst Du, worauf noch dringend geachtet werden sollte, wenn es um die Gesundheit geht (wie z.B. auf die Verteilung des Körperfettes, auf den Anteil der Muskelmasse im Körper oder auch die Höhe auf die Höhe der Bluttfettwerte). Das „Märchen“ vom BMI hält sich hartnäckig, ist aber wenig aussagekräftig. ##kerstinhardt #kerstinhardtpodcast #healthyfitandconfident #BMI #Blutzuckerspiegel #

In dieser Folge mit der lieben Simona geht es um die Themen Zunehmen, Abnehmen, BMI (Body-Mass-Index) und unsere Beziehungen zum Sport. Diesbezüglich gehen wir auf einige Veränderungen im Laufe der Zeit ein und erklären, wie sich diese Shifts heutzutage bei uns zeigen. Hoffentlich konntet ihr etwas daraus für Euch mitnehmen!

Eating Disorders Thrive in Secrecy, so Let's Talk About It! If you are struggling with an eating disorder or believe you may be, Go to the National Eating Disorders Association (https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.o...) for their Free online chat, call their Help Line at 1-800-931-2237 or contact their Crisis Line by Texting "NEDA" to 741741. Dr. Karla talks with Dr. Jillian Rigert (DMD and MD) about what teens, parents, doctors, and teachers can do to help teens recognize, get treatment and heal from eating disorders, starting with self-worth and self-compassion. You get to live your magical and FUN life! Dr. Rigert wrote an incredibly helpful blog for IME Community, titled, "Lessons from a recovering perfectionist". I found Dr. Rigert's blog and my interview with her to be so helpful and healing. We're talking about Eating Disorders in this video, so just know that if you are not feeling it, go ahead and stop listening. Also, the video is super helpful and healing, but doesn't take the place of going to your doctor and working with a therapist who specializes in eating disorder treatment. The earlier you are diagnosed and receive treatment, the better your outcome. First, if you are experiencing disordered eating, know that you are not alone, that it's never your fault, you are worthy of help and treatment and healing no matter where you are with your diagnosis. Recognize, you are not broken and you can heal and live your beautiful life. You don't cause and you don't control all the things in life. Eating disorders are a mental health diagnosis. They are a medical condition. You are not a diagnosis. I simply love you and want you to know that you are deserving of a self-love superpower life. Eating disorders are unfortunately common, cross gender lines, and do not have anything to do with weight. What do I mean by that? You cannot determine if someone has an eating disorder based on their weight and external appearance. In our society and culture, we feel entitled to comment on bodies and sizeism is a thing and so is weight bullying, weight stigma and bias, and the false association between weight and health. It's all 100% harmful. Dr. Jillian and I talk a lot about social media in this helpful discussion. It's very very helpful. Welcome to National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. I mean, I guess it's a good thing to have an awareness week? What do you think? I spent some time figuring out how to be helpful and not just share the typical talking points that are out there on eating disorders. How IME Community is addressing eating disorders starts with sharing the story of Dr. Jillian Rigert and her experience with an eating disorder, but most importantly, how Dr. Jillian is intentionally healing through her journey of self-worth and self-compassion. Sound familiar? It's self-love superpower! Eating disorders are "suffering", a word Dr. Jillian used many times in this discussion. Parents, note that your teen's weight has absolutely nothing to do with their internal mental state. If you believe your teen's thinness means they should be happy, you're wrong. If you believe your teen who exists in a larger body, needs to shrink their body and their emotional and mental health and well-being will be fixed, wrong. I'm not saying that improving health habits won't improve well-being. Our focus on weight being equated to health and emotional health is just wrong. Stop believing the pursuit of thin privilege gets to happiness. Silence is fuel for an eating disorder. Not talking about it, not knowing how to talk about it, staying stuck in diet culture, focusing too much on weight and not on mental health are all ways that parents and doctors contribute to the perpetuation of eating disorders and potentially create continued harm. Just like many issues in healthcare, eating disorder screening and treatment is another thing we've not been that helpful in addressing. Dr. Jillian and I talk about how we can start by having discussions with physicians and get rid of the focus on BMI (Body Mass Index) and weight-based diagnostic criteria. When she talks about how harmful BMI at the doctor's office was for her, I was overcome with emotion. Her story is very powerful. Here's a link to one of the many helpful Dr. Jillian Rigert articles on eating disorders, published in KevinMD.com. https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2022/01/... Next up, I will discuss the different types of eating disorders. Parents, please let me know what needs you have for coaching on this important health issue. Reach out to me at drkarlaactivistmd@imecommunity.com. Teens, 12 to 18, and parents of teens, go to imecommunity.com and Join IME Community to get my coaching to create a Body Positive Community for Teens in a Body Negative World!

In this podcast we discuss BMI (Body Mass Index) testing.

Today's podcast features an esteemed colleague and beloved friend, Dr. Angela Krumm, who will describe her personal victory over a recent weight gain. We will illuminate the TEAM-CBT techniques she used so that you can use them yourself if you'd like to lose some weight. But I have to warn you that you have to do these techniques using paper and pencil. If you try to learn and use them just from listening, they will not be effective. As an aside, if you go to my website, www.feelinggood.com, you'll find a free chapter offer at the very bottom of my home page. If you click on it, you'll receive two unpublished chapters from my most recent book, Feeling Great, with crystal clear instructions on the methods you'll learn about in today's podcast. Angela's biosketch goes next, including how she joined David's Tuesday training group when she was a post-doctoral fellow in clinical psychology and how she ultimately developed the TEAM-CBT certification program at the FeelingGoodInstitute.com. Hopefully Angela can help with this paragraph! As the podcast begins, Angela explains how she's always viewed herself as a very fit, health-conscious woman who actually completed some marathons in the past. But during 2021, her life has been complicated by a number of tragedies and traumas, including: Angela's father was sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer and died within four months. Angela had many personal injuries that impacted her capacity to exercise, including a laceration of her retina and a fractured toe. In addition, she fell backwards over a ledge in her backyard and plunged eight feet. She sustained a concussion and experienced many lingering symptoms for 6 to 8 weeks including dizziness, brain fog, and sensitivity to light. She described what happened next like this: All this time my weight kept creeping up. I stopped caring about exercise, and during the COVID crisis, food become a joy and an escape. Then, I had a wake-up call, an ah-ha moment when everything suddenly changed. Angela described attending a wedding, and her husband was the photographer. When she saw herself in the photos, she was shocked that she no longer recognized herself because of the weight she'd gained. She also noticed that the day of the wedding, she'd eaten six huge but delicious chocolate chip cookies that her niece had baked. She says, It hit me, and I didn't have to think twice. There's a history of diabetes in my family, and I didn't want to keep gaining weight and struggle with all the medical complications of type 2 diabetes. I want to be healthy and fit so I can live to an old age and enjoy my children and grandchildren! She used behavioral and TEAM-CBT skills to tackle the problem, starting with setting specific goals for herself. She said that lots of her patients who are overweight have vague goals, like “I want to lose some weight” or “I want to get in shape,” but general goals won't be effective. In TEAM, you always focus on something specific. Angela explained the critical difference between Outcome Goals and Process Goals. An example of an Outcome Goal would be telling yourself that you want to lose ten pounds or whatever your goal might be. There's a big problem with Outcome Goals. You might go on an extreme, like fasting or eating very little, so you can lose weight fairly quickly. Then you will feel happy and tell yourself that you're done when you've achieved your goal. The big problem is that you haven't modified your eating habits, and that's exactly why you will quickly gain back all that weight you temporarily lost. Process Goals are different. Instead, you focus on the number of calories you can eat each day in order to lose weight, and then you make wise food choices within your calorie limit. In addition, you start out with a gentle but consistent exercise regimen, and then you slowly build up to more exercise. Angela started with two workouts per week and built up to four weekly workouts over time. She also set modest and realistic goals for weight loss, setting a calorie limit that would allow her two lose weight slowly, at the rate of just ½ pound per week. This plan has allowed her to lose 21 pounds, and she was looking terrific today! She has been using a free app called Lose It which provides her with all the information she needs for tracking calories bd weight, along with her BMI (Body Mass Index). She's now on a maintenance diet of 1800 calories per day and she's really pleased with it. We also illustrated several powerful motivational TEAM-CBT techniques, including: The Triple Paradox. You divide a piece of paper into three vertical columns where you list Advantages of your habit / addiction: First, you list all the GOOD reasons to continue with the status quo of unlimited eating and little or no exercise. Disadvantages off change: Next, you list all the negatives and hassles associated with dieting and exercise. Core values: Finally, you list what your overeating and slacking on exercise shows about you and your core values that's positive and awesome. As you can see, instead of pushing yourself, or your patient, to change, you go in the opposite direction. You take the role of the subconscious resistance to change, and list all the really powerful reasons to continue with your habit or addiction. In other words, you try to convince yourself NOT to change! Oddly, this usually triggers tremendous motivation to CHANGE. This paradox is one of the key features in all of TEAM-CBT. You can see Angela's Triple Paradox workshop if you click here. The Habit / Addiction Log. Here you record your tempting thoughts, such as: One more treat today won't hurt. I deserve it/ I've had a tough day! That brownie looks SO GOOD! I'm an active person so I deserve to eat whatever I want. The Devil's Advocate Technique. This is a powerful role-playing technique where you challenge and crush the tempting thoughts. We illustrate this technique with role-playing on today's podcast. Angela plays the role of her Self-Control thoughts and Rhonda and I play the role of the Devil, tempting Angela to give in to her tempting thoughts. The Problem / Solution list. You divide a piece of paper into two columns by drawing a line down the middle. In the left column (Problems), you list all the things that will sabotage your efforts to diet. In the right column (Solutions), you list solutions for all of those problems. You can see Angela's Problem / Solution list if you click here. We also discussed the issue of therapist resistance to these rather unconventional techniques. The problem is that therapists and counselors are trained to help. This paradoxically triggers patient resistance. TEAM-CBT requires one of the four “Great Deaths” of the therapist's ego—the death of the co-dependent self that feels the compulsion to save, rescue or help the patient. David gave a personal example of the extremely adverse effects of “helping” when he was the patient in an interaction with a health professional at Kaiser Permanente in California. The physician's zeal for helping actually had the opposite effect of driving David away, and he did not go to the doctor for the next ten years. So now you have a feel for the TEAM-CBT approach to habits and addictions. These methods can be surprisingly powerful but remember. You'll have to do them on paper, as Angela did, if you want success. Rhonda and I will probably offer a free, two-hour workshop on habits and addictions in late January, and if you attend, you'll have the chance to try some of these techniques on for size. We hope you can join us! Thanks for listening! And thank you, Angela, for sharing your personal example and for your awesome teaching. Rhonda, Angela, and David PS, I thought you might enjoy this "selfie," showing the amazing results that are possible after just a few weeks with TEAM-CBT!. Keep in mind that I'm 79. Just imagine what a few weeks of TEAM could do for you!

CW: We make brief reference to eating disorders in this episode. We talk about our weight, mostly about gaining it, plus guilt over not working out (okay, mostly Joselyn does). Even though we do not promote the toxic preoccupation with culturally-imposed unattainable beauty standards in this episode, we also acknowledge that discussing the subject at all can be super stressful and triggering. So join us if that's where you're at, and if it's not then you just skip it and go do something nice for yourself. Maybe a bath. Or a face mask. Or listen to some good music.

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Dr. med. Markus von der Groeben, Leitender Arzt der Chirurgie im Schweizer Adipositaszentrum im Spital Muri. Ab einem BMI (Body Mass Index) von 35 gilt Adipositas als stark ausgeprägt. Es gibt unzählige Faktoren die in unseren hochentwickelten Industrieländern das Übergewicht fördern und das Abnehmen erschweren. Adipositas ist eine komplexe chronische Erkrankung mit deutlichem Gesundheitsrisiko und vielfältigen Faktoren. Begleit- und Folgeerkrankungen des Stoffwechsels und des Bewegungsapparates kommen hinzu. Markus ist mein ehemaliger Studienkollege und mittlerweile ausgewiesener Experte, wenn es um die Behandlung von dieser Krankheit geht. Was ist wenn alle konservativen Methoden zur Gewichtsreduzierung nicht helfen? Wie fühlen sich die Patienten? Hier hat der Spezialist von der Groeben "schnittige" Lösungen parat, die einen dauerhaften Weg aus dem Übergewicht ermöglichen können. Ein spannendes Thema, denn Adipositas wird in unserer Gesellschaft einen immer größeren Stellenwert bekommen. Herzlich willkommen, ich bin Dr. med. Christoph Pooth, Arzt aus Leidenschaft, und in meinem Podcast "**Live Smart, Stay Healthy**" möchte ich jede Woche mit den Mythen rund um die Themen Gesundheit und Lifestyle aufräumen. In meiner Praxis für Gesundheitsmedizin muss ich häufig feststellen, dass ein Großteil der Probleme meiner Patienten nicht immer nur krankheitsbedingter Natur ist, sondern dass die oftmals unfassbar ungesunde Lebensweise eine beträchtliche Rolle spielt. Mein Ziel als Allgemeinmediziner ist es, verschiedenste Ideen und Lösungen zum Gesundwerden und Gesundbleiben zu geben. Deshalb spreche ich in diesem Podcast mit interessanten Gästen aus verschiedenen Lifestylebranchen und großartigen Facharztkollegen/-innen über deren Art und Weise sich fit und vital zu halten. Und regelmäßig kommt meine bessere Hälfte Rosalie, Ernährungsberaterin und Familienmanagerin, in dieser Show zu Wort! Denn es gibt 1000 Krankheiten und nur eine Gesundheit!

Vitamin D and Cancer 2-3 years ago there were a couple of research studies published called the VITAL study which looked at the the affect of Vitamin D and Omega-3’s on almost 26,000 men and women over 50. All were free from cancer and cardiovascular disease at the start of the study which ran from 2011 until the end of 2017. The men and women in the study were randomly assigned to different groups - Omega-3 + Vitamin D, Omega-3, Vitamin D, and placebos. There were some interesting Vitamin D related results in the original study’s analysis that showed a small difference in the Vitamin D group having to do with metastatic and fatal cancers. A group went back last year to do a secondary analysis on that same group of Vitamin D vs placebo participants. What they found was a significant difference between the Vitamin D and placebo in the normal BMI (Body Mass Index) group but not so much in the overweight group. Makes me think that staying at a healthy weight and taking Vitamin D is a pretty good way to increase your odds of not developing metastatic and fatal cancer. Listen in to learn more…

L'altro giorno nelle stories vi ho accennato al TDEE, il consumo calorico totale giornaliero...Sono piuttosto sicura che la maggior parte di voi conoscono il BMI (Body Mass Index, ovvero indice di massa corporea), e probabilmente anche il BMR (Basal Metabolic rate, ovvero tasso metabolico di base o, più semplicemente, il metabolismo basale). Ma quanti di voi conoscono invece il TDEE? Il Total Daily Energy Expenditure altro non è se non il consumo calorico totale giornaliero, rappresentato dalla quantità di calorie che si dovrebbero consumare nell'arco di una giornata per mantenere stabile il nostro peso corporeo tenendo conto innanzitutto del metabolismo basale, ma anche di alimentazione, attività fisica, il NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, ovvero la termogenesi da attività non associabile all'esercizio fisico), eccetera.Se vogliamo migliorare la nostra forma fisica, quindi, è importante tener conto di tanti fattori diversi: il nostro metabolismo basale e stile di vita, racchiusi in termini strettamente matematici nel TDEE, e ovviamente il nostro obiettivo. Ecco perché è importante conoscere il proprio TDEE.Il TDEE è influenzato anche dalla termogenesi indotta dagli alimenti, sapete di cosa sto parlando? Scopriamolo insieme :)

In this podcast Fred Herbert reviews the connections between healthy body weight (BMI Body Mass Index) and longevity. Fred covers the issues with fad diets and gives proven strategies for keeping the weight off. Maintaining a healthy weight is an important longevity codes strategy that will pay big dividends.

We have talked about Choices and Consequences so much in our house that the boys will make jokes with me about it. We laugh and it does help me think about it when they say something about one of my choices. One of the jokes the boys make to me is about my food choices. The boys know one of my long-term goals is to get my BMI (Body Mass Index) under 25. So, if I am eating Ice Cream or Cookies, they will joke with me about my Choices and Consequences. I know they love me and are joking with me. But they are correct in what they are saying. If I eat have a bowl of Ice Cream or a bunch of cookies then I need to be able to live with the consequences that could happen to me if I do. For instance, I could gain more weight and be further away from my weight goal. The food could give me less energy and drive to exercise which could cause me to gain weight. If I keep gaining weight it could hurt my golf game, which would be sad. LOL But also it could hurt my wallet or finances since if I out grow my current clothes I may have to buy new clothes from belts to pants. That could affect our Financial Freedom goals in a way also. So, the poor eating choices that I may be making could hurt me in several ways. If I choose to eat those sweets then I have to be OK with living with the consequences. As always, I am not giving you any Financial Advice and you should seek advice from your Professional Advisors to see what is best for your situation. See my Disclaimer at MillsWay.com. This is for entertainment only. We also remind them each time they leave the house to make good choices. Seth when ever he leaves the house, we for sure to remind him to make good choices. Since he is our wild child. LOL It doesn’t matter if he is going to school or to the park to play with friends, we want him to make good choices or we want him to be able to handle living with any consequences that may come about because of his actions.

I have a feeling you’ve seen the Instagram graphics stating the ridiculous-ness that is the BMI scale. And I agree, it’s bogus. And today’s episode I’m going to help you understand why that is.   The best place to start is who came up with the BMI scale. The BMI scale was created by a mathematician, astronomer and statistician,  Adophle Quetelet,  in 1832 to measure weights across a given population, never designed to measure an individual’s health or size. That's almost 200 YEARS AGO since the BMI scale was created! The BMI equation is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.   I learned in Fearing the Black Body, that Ancel Keys- the same Keys that created the fear mongering messages surrounding saturated fat that you’ve heard me mention before, is the same doctor who then took this scale, first called the Quetelet scale, renaming it to the BMI (Body-Mass-Index) scale. Keys even agreed that it was less than ideal scale, but “worked” nonetheless.   It’s also important to know the BMI scale was created by Quetelet based on measurements on white European men.   This is problematic in SO many ways. We know women have a different amount of body fat than men. And we know that different races and cultures have different body sizes, that the BMI scale in no way accounts for. But let’s dig in deeper...   In this episode we discuss: The white supremacy origins of the BMI scale How white people have been “controlling” their eating and fat for hundreds of years as a means of justifying slavery The problems with the CDC graphs that have been used to show the “obvious” obesity epidemic How profit and politics have been involved with the BMI scale and the changing categories Why weight does not equal health Addressing true health through healthy behaviors Avoiding stigmatizing and worsening health through weight bias, explaining how correlation does not equal causation What is weight cycling and why dieting only makes everything worse The BMI scales inability to account for muscle mass Quotes from the book, Health at Every Size Reflections and final thoughts for you, how to move forward   Resources discussed in this episode: Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings Health at Every Size by Lindo Bacon Anti Diet by Christy Harrison Blog post by Rachel Hartley: https://www.rachaelhartleynutrition.com/blog/problems-with-bmi   Thank you to our Tuesday  podcast sponsors, Better Help.

How do you balance your energy as a runner? We live in a numbers-driven society, making it easy to compare training data with those around us. In sports such as running, there can be pressure to fall within a certain weight range. And dance companies and dance schools often look at BMI (Body Mass Index) to determine if their dancers are "in shape."  As you'll hear on this week's episode, comparisons like these can be dangerous because they don't account for the variety of ways that each individual is different. Following a formula that requires an athlete to be "just like everyone else," can be a recipe for illness and injury. If you're an athlete, a coach, or the parent or partner of an athlete, how do you know if your athlete is eating the right foods to fuel their body for training and competition? Do you know the signs of Relative Energy Deficit in Sport (RED-S)?  I talked with Rebecca McConville (MS, RD, CSSD, CEDRD) for this episode. Rebecca is a board certified sports specialist and eating disorder clinician. She has spent her career helping athletes fuel and understand their bodies so they can perform their best. As a former collegiate athlete, she understands how the drive for performance may lead to possible injury, performance decline or loss of interest in the sport.  Resources from this episode: Phit for a Queen, Rebecca's Podcast Finding Your Sweet Spot, Rebecca's Book about RED-S Rebecca's website Kim's website Kim's Instagram Power of Run on Facebook Kim's half marathon and marathon coaching programs email Kim at CoachKim@THEpowerofrun.com Join Kim's free Facebook Group to connect with other runners  

Today we discuss obesity, weight loss without dieting, and seeing beyond the scale.   The adult obesity rate in the U.S. is at or above 35% in seven different states, and at least 30% in 29 states. Are we digging our graves with our mouths? What’s happening here? Just as we have laws that regulate traffic on the streets, there are laws that we need to follow with our health as well. If we don't follow the appropriate health laws, we experience fatigue, pain, misery, unhealthiness, and even disease. If you're serious about improving your health, having great energy, and maybe shedding some weight, then it's really important to have the right information so that you can make sure you do so in a way that's best for you long term. My guest today, Robert Ferguson, is a well-known nutrition and fitness expert, author, host, and producer, who is recognized as one of "America’s leading voices on wellness and weight loss." He joins me today to talk about the significance of measuring our BFI (Body Fact Index) versus the standard BMI (Body Mass Index). Robert also shares information about how we can lose the "right kind" of weight, cook healthy, fat burning meals that speed up our metabolism, and change the path of childhood obesity in America.   We Discuss: The obesity epidemic in America, who it's impacting, and how it's actually affecting us Health laws we need to follow to avoid suffering from poor health, low energy, and disease Why obesity levels are continuing to rise in our country and what we can do to change this The common causes of obesity and why measuring our BMI (Body Mass Index) is inaccurate Understanding body composition and fat percentage rather than just a number on a scale What we need to know about gaining or losing the "right" versus the "wrong" type of weight Empowering children by educating them about their bodies and how to live a healthy lifestyle Making balanced, fat-burning meals that help boost metabolism and promote weight loss How we can get rid of our excess fat through the food we eat and the way we move our body Why current diet trends like Keto can actually cause more harm than good to our overall healt   Visit:  VoicesofCourage.us

As we kick off 2019, it's time to set goals and resolutions. But what are your goals and resolutions to maximize your health this year? In this episode, you'll learn about: --Why "You don't know if you don't test" should be a guiding principle for your health care. And the three lab tests that everyone should have every year. --How you need to have your nervous system working properly for anything else to work right in your body. --Why what you do in your 40's and 50's helps determine how your health will be in your 80's and 90's. And why it is never too late to make positive changes to your health. --The five different categories of Exercise and how each one is important for your health and well-being. And the category of Exercise that is the most important to increase your life-span (if you only picked one). --The reason why the BMI (Body Mass Index) is NOT the best way to measure your body's fat percentage. And the more accurate Body Composition Analysis that has an error rate of 2% or less. --How most diets fail because they burn muscle and organ tissue to lose weight and cause your fat percentage to increase. And how the weight loss approach of The Prather Practice targets the burning of fat. --Why our attitudes and reactions to circumstances can create diseases in our bodies and change our body's physiology. --How learning how to breathe properly can control your stress levels and shift your autonomic nervous system to a healing "rest and digest" mode. --The 80-20 rule for balancing the sympathetic "fight and flight" mode of the body and the parasympathetic "rest and digest" mode of the body. --The specific Chiropractic adjustments (Logan Basic, Cranial-Sacral) that Dr. Prather uses to balance out the nervous system and the respiratory system in his stressed patients. www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

In this podcast, Tracy Herbert reviews many of the important numbers you should be watching to achieve optimal health. Below is the BMI (Body Mass Index) chart.  See if you are in the healthy range. BMI, WAIST SIZE & HEART RISK BMI BMI Obesity Classification Waist size for Women < or = 35 inches Waist size for Women > 35 inches Waist size for Men > 40 inches Less than 18.5 Underweight  -  -  - 18.5 - 24.9 Normal Weight  - Increased Risk  - 25 - 29.9 Overweight Increased Risk High Risk Increased Risk 30 - 34.9 Obese (Level I) High Risk Very High Risk High Risk 35 - 39.9 Obese (Level II) Very High Risk Very High Risk Very High Risk 40 or greater Obese (Level III) Extremely High Risk Extremely High Risk Extremely High Risk

Most of us are fully aware we are carrying around too much weight and need to be more active. It’s hard to get motivated when we get so wrapped up about the number on the scale. Our own weight can become a de-motivator.   This SymplifiHealth episode THE PHYSICAL FITNESS PARADOX will help you change your way of thinking. Dr. Jill Wade interviews Cade Allison a certified personal trainer at Cowboy Fit about having a focus on fitness rather than how much you weigh. It is much healthier to be fit than skinny. Discussions include: BMI (Body Mass Index) and what that really means and is it important?   Weight versus what you perceive your body image is in the mirror.   The importance of understanding realistic fitness goals and achieving them.   22 minutes is the biggest bang for your buck and is more too much?   The motivating episode reveals a never told logical explanation of the why behind the need for physical activity and why most young adults exercise. All you have to do is GET STARTED. Start today by listening and your journey towards better health will begin.   If you have a question or would like to connect with Dr. Jill Wade or Cade Allison then email at jill@jillwadedds.com or cade.allison8@gmail.com  You can also follow Cade on his instagram cadejayhawk.

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com I was a speaker and attendee at the Podfest Multimedia Expo this past February in Orlando, Florida. www.Podfestexpo.com/2019 On the last day of Podfest, we had a classic "roast" for one of podcasting's pioneers.....Dave Jackson! Dave Jackson hosts "The School of Podcasting," which is a fantastic podcast, which teaches you how to podcast. Dave has been podcasting for over 12 years! I know.....I didn't even know what a podcast was 3 years ago! Now, I'm hosting two shows! Anyway........Dave Jackson has another podcast (he has like 15 different shows) called "Logical Weight Loss."  During the "roast," I was really giving it to Dave, because he has had this weight loss podcast for several years, but he doesn't lose weight! The roast was all in good fun. My fellow "roasters" had the room rolling in laughter. Dave took all the jokes and jabs really good. He's an awesome guy and a good friend! After the ceremonies were over, Dave came up to me and told me he was so glad I was kidding him about his weight loss show during the "roast."  Dave said I inspired him to really get healthy and to lose the weight he's been trying to lose the past few years.  Then later on, one of my other podcast buddies - Jonathan Oakes, who is the host of the world known "Trivial Warfare" podcast; comes up to me and says I inspired him during the "roast" and he wants to lose weight. I was like.....cool! Good for Jonathan. Jonathan had me and Glenn "the geek," from Horse Radio Network on Trivial Warfare. It was me and Glenn against Jonathan.  I had previously considered myself to be pretty darn good at trivia. I would do excellent on Jeopardy or at playing Trivial Pursuit. When I got on Trivial Warfare......I felt like I was as dumb as a rock! I was losing my mind! I made such stupid mistakes! You have to listen to the episode. You'll laugh your butt off! Here's the link to the episode: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tw117-fuggedaboudit/id964623770?i=1000385667149&mt=2 Then even later on....one of my other buddies, Niel Guilarte, the director of "The Messengers - A Podcast Documentary," and the "All Things Post" Podcast starts talking to me about his weight loss journey. Niel tells me he really wants to hit his weight loss goal of 100 pounds, and that I inspired him from the "roast." If I knew I was going to be so inspiring, I would have had an entire session about weight loss at the conference! I wanted to help my buddies on their weight loss journey, so I asked each of them how I could help. Each one of them said they wanted to be "accountable." I brought up the idea of a "challenge," and that was all I had to say. Dave Jackson, Jonathan Oakes and Niel Guilarte are in! The Weight Loss Nation Podcaster's Challenge is officially on! Three men....three Podcast icons.....are fighting for their life to get healthy! Here's the criteria I have set. Each contestant will be measured in the following three areas: 1.  Blood Pressure      If a contestant has a blood pressure reading of          120/80 or better.....the contestant will receive          five (5) points.      If a contestant has a blood pressure reading of 122/82 up to 128/88, the contestant will receive two (2) points.     If a contestant has a blood pressure reading of 130/90 or higher.....NO points will be awarded.     In fact, I'll probably call in the paramedics! 2. BMI - Body Mass Index     Body Mass Index is a formula that takes the height and weight of the person and the percentage of fat in their bodies and awards a range.     A Body Mass Index of 18.5 - 25.0 is considered to be "normal."    If a contestant's Body Mass Index is between 18.5 and 25.0 they will be awarded five (5) points.    If a contestant's Body Mass Index is between 25.1 -29.9, the contestant will be awarded one (1) point.    Finally, if a contestant's Body Mass Index is 30.0 or higher, no points will be awarded, since they are considered "obese." 3.  AC1 Blood Test The AC1 Blood Test measures the level of Glucose in your blood over the past two months. An AC1 level of 5.6 or less is considered to be "normal." If a contestant has an AC1 range between 5.6 or less, they will receive 10 points. An AC1 level of 5.7 - 6.4 indicates "Pre-Diabetes." If a contestant has an AC1 range between 5.7 - 6.4, they will receive one (1) point. Finally, an AC1 level of 6.5 or higher, this is an indication of Diabetes and no points will be given.  In fact, I'll be calling the paramedics in again! The most points a contestant can achieve is 20. If by some chance....there is a tie.....we will have a playoff...... The contestants will have to do "sit ups" on stage! The most sit ups in a minute will determine the overall winner! I haven't figured out what the prizes will be....maybe something good.....maybe a "Zonk."  Heck...maybe both! Either way.....the contestants have until March 9, 2019, to get healthy. Podfest Multimedia Expo will be from March 7 - March 9, 2019 in beautiful, Orlando, Florida. If you're a podcaster, someone who thinks they should be a guest on a podcast or who just wants to hang out with podcasters..... Then join me, Dave Jackson, Jonathan Oakes and hundreds of other podcasters at the Podfest Multimedia Expo.

Dr. Ken discusses the new Cancer Pen, which can detect the presence of Cancer in just ten minutes. No waiting for biopsy results. If you're lacking in creativity lately, he has a simple solution that could help, and it involves music. There are some simple tips for those who have survived the recent storms and learn what your BMI (Body Mass Index) numbers should be.

Background Dr. Michele Sherwood began working in functional medicine after she began noticing that she addressed her patients more by their specific medications or diseases, instead of by their names. She had earned a naturopath degree before medical school and was now realizing she was simply prescribing maintenance medicines to her patients; a type of “band aid”. She discovered a dramatic improvement in her patients and in her practice when she began to look at the root cause and their life as a whole; including nutrition, activity level, hormonal balances, stress, and sleep patterns which can feed into sickness and disease. Mark and Michele, besides being married, also have a wellness-based medical practice. They work with genetics, excessive fat reduction, medication reduction and improvement of muscle tissue and texture. Simply put, they’re working to eliminate self-imposed choice driven sickness and diseases from the planet. By helping to get the focus off obsessing over weight and transitioning to eating whole foods and being healthier overall, Mark and Michele are hoping to work themselves out of jobs. Get healthy on purpose and lose weight on accident Mark states, “Anytime we talk about a program where weight loss is included, it’s important to remember, you cannot lose muscle tissue.” Muscle tissue is the way we move our bodies, without it, we’re dying. When we focus on maintaining muscle, we lose fat and overall body composition and our longevity improves. When focusing on overall body composition it’s a good ratio for 10%-20% body fat for men and 18%-28% for woman. When this is normalized, physical health and emotional health improves. In their practice, they use an analysis called Bioimpedance for examining body composition. This is different than BMI (Body Mass Index) that measures below, in the middle or above a certain range for body composition but doesn’t actually measure the actual body mass. Conversely, Bioimpedance evaluates lean body mass; how much is withheld, fat inflammatory mass, intracellular and outer cellular water and basal metabolic rate. This is a more accurate measure of cellular health. This is used as a base line evaluation of a body’s composition and how many calories are necessary to be properly fueled. Mark and Michele use this to study and develop individual plans for their patients. They’re also working on point specific genetics dealing with metabolic health and sports components. Stay tuned for a future podcast where we’ll dive into this information on what chronic inflammation can do this to our bodies and techniques like these that can be used to target solutions. Now, how does our food inflame us right into disease? Inflammation, when acute, is how we heal. When it becomes chronic is when it becomes problematic and is the first signs of sickness or disease. Roughly 80% of the inflammation in our bodies is coming in through our mouths. When we eat foods that inflame our system, they’re disguised as macronutrients when in reality, they’re simply just macro calories. If we have an efficient, healthy body when we eat foods with good macro nutrient quality, we can get the micro nutrients out of these foods. If not, our bodies start to get inflamed and break them down one organ at a time which can result in hormone imbalances, weight gain, back pain, digestion issues, brain fog, etc. Known inflammatory foods   A good pneumonic for these foods is, S.A.D. which stands for the Standard American Diet. This includes: Fried Foods Sugars, Artificial Sweeteners, Soda Processed Foods and Preservatives – including processed sandwich meats MSG – fillers found in dressings, cookies, spices etc. Excessive Caffeine - 200-300 milligrams more than daily amount Excessive Alcohol – 1-2 drinks a week Corn, Soy, Yeast, Grains and Bread Anything found in a box or package Any foods with added ingredients to change the foods nature or preserve it  Anti-inflammatory foods to enjoy Anything that grows in the land, aside from certain food allergies, is going to be much easier for the body to identity and digest. Including more of these types of foods will start to improve your health and mood in as little time as a week! Raw fruits – lower glycemic so you watch sugar levels, but also include nutrients and vitamins Vegetables - no limits to greens. Vegetables help alkalize the system and help with digestion, they also provide lots of minerals and fiber. Hormone free, grass-fed meat Pasture raised eggs Fish – fresh cod and farm-raised fish like trout Pro Tip: 75% of your plate = vegetables and then make healthy fat choices for the remaining 25%. What to expect when transitioning to an anti- inflammatory diet Increase in energy which helps release brain fog Better digestion which boosts weight loss Look out for perceived fatigue because of blood sugar dropping – don’t quit - have a piece of fruit, and let your mind and body start to adjust. Don’t focus on depravity but welcome the new journey of releasing toxins and overcoming the brain, gut connectivity we have to certain foods. It’s helpful to stay connected and you’ll be three times more successful with support and accountability partners. Here at Fitlandia we have an amazing group of people who will help you every step of the way. Mark states, “Don’t dabble in your health, it’s not a part time job but a full-time life.” Ready to try out an anti-inflammatory diet and reclaim your health with both mental and nutritional support?

LESS THAN 3% of Americans have a healthy lifestyle according to a recent report. How does your lifestyle rate? In this episode, find out: --Why Dr. Prather says that the report's criteria of a healthy lifestyle actually weren't that high...and we STILL failed miserably as a nation. --The four factors considered in this report to determine a "healthy lifestyle": Smoking, Healthy Diet, Normal Body Fat, and Sufficient Exercise. --Why Dr. Prather calls a combination of Acupuncture and Auriculotherapy one of the most effective methods to stop smoking, along with Homeopathic remedies well-proven to stop the addiction. --The difference between what Dr. Prather describes as "real food" versus "chemical food". And how we all need supplements (or concentrated food) to help us make up for our nutritional deficiencies. --What is normal body fat percentage, and the reason Dr. Prather prefers body fat percentage measurement over BMI (Body Mass Index). And the Body Composition Analysis Dr. Prather uses to evaluate fat percentage. --Why Dr. Prather focuses on FAT loss, not just WEIGHT loss (which can include muscle and organ mass). --How The Prather Plan fat loss program discovers the underlying health reason why people have trouble losing weight, such as thyroid or hormone issues. --How The Prather Plan fat loss program "tricks" the body to go after the fat. --What a good exercise program should look like. --How men shorten their life spans by not getting necessary health screenings. www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Dieting and weight loss typically mean deprivation especially when food and social meals also satisfy emotional desires and entertainment purposes.  However, once an individual has attained a healthy metabolism, healthy muscle to fat ratio (BMI-Body Mass Index), quality sleeping, regular activities, and an easy as well as conscious food selection, then social eating, eating for entertainment or delight or even the periodic emotional eating does not typically cause weight gain problems.  So, lets configure weight loss programs which actually promote a good metabolism along side periodic emotional eating moments.  Dr. Carol Francis, author of over 10 books with "If You Can't Stop Eating, Maybe You're Hungry:  Reset Your Cravings" and "Evolving Women's Consciousness: Dialogues with 21st Century Women" are two books most related to weight loss and conscious living related to eating.    Dr. Carol Francis can be contacted at drcarolfrancis.com or at 310-543-1824 as a Clinical Psychologist, Marriage, Family & Child Therapist and Certified Medical Hypnotherapist, practicing in Los Angeles Beach Cities communities.   

In der deutschen Bevölkerung leidet, bezogen auf den BMI (Body-Mass-Index), etwa jeder zweite an Übergewicht. Innerhalb dieser Gruppe müssen dabei über 25 % als krankhaft adipös eingestuft werden. Trotz der weiten Verbreitung, ist zurzeit weder eine erfolgreiche medikamentöse Therapie der Adipositas verfügbar, noch sind die grundlegenden Mechanismen der Gewichtsregulation vollständig verstanden. Der MC4R (Melanocortin-4-Rezeptor) und sein Ligand α-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) stellen einen entscheidenden Punkt bei der Energieregulation des Körpers dar und sind damit eine vielversprechende pharmakologische Zielstruktur zur Behandlung von Adipositas. Trotz der enormen Bedeutung dieses Rezeptors ist bemerkenswert wenig über die MC4R-induzierten Signalwege bekannt. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, α MSH-induzierte anorexigene Signal¬wege in murinen hypothalamischen Zellen (GT1 7), die den MC4R endogen exprimieren, zu identifizieren und zu charakterisieren. In dieser Arbeit konnte mit hochspezifischen Antikörpern gezeigt werden, dass nach 20 h Serumentzug die Stimulation von GT1-7 Zellen mit α MSH die cAMP-abhängige PKA (Proteinkinase A) aktiviert und somit zu einer ERK-1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2) Phosphorylierung führt. Die aktivierte ERK-1/2 inhibiert anschließend die konstitutiv aktive AMPK-Kinase LKB1 (liver kinase B1), was in einer verminderten Phosphorylierung der nach¬geschalteten AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) an Threonin 172 resultiert. Damit ergibt sich eine lineare α-MSH-induzierte Signalkaskade, bei der die AMPK Dephosphorylierung von PKA, ERK-1/2 und LKB1 abhängig ist. Die Durchführung von Versuchen nach mehrstündigem Serumentzug ist zwar etabliert, führt aber zu Veränderungen in der Zelle, die sich unter anderem auf Proliferation und Morphologie auswirken. Da unklar ist, welche Versuchs¬bedingungen dem physiologischen Zustand eines Neurons entsprechen, wurde die α MSH-induzierte Signalkaskade zusätzlich unter serumhaltigen Bedingungen untersucht. Dabei führt die Stimulation mit α-MSH immer noch zu einer Aktivierung der ERK-1/2 und auch zu einer Dephosphorylierung der AMPK, letzteres allerdings unabhängig von PKA und ERK-1/2. Des Weiteren wird die AMPK nicht mehr exklusiv durch LKB1 reguliert, sondern die AMPK-Kinase TAK1 (TGF-β-activated kinase-1) spielt ebenfalls eine Rolle. Erste Hinweise aus einem Kinase-Aktivitäts-Array deuten daraufhin, dass diese Unterschiede in einer distinkten ERK-1/2 Aktivierung, über Rap-1 unter serumfreien oder über K-Ras unter serumhaltigen Bedingungen, begründet sein könnten. Diese Dissertation soll zu einem besseren Verständnis von anorexigenen Signal-wegen im Hypothalamus beitragen und könnte bei der Generierung neuer Anti Adipositas Medikamente hilfreich sein.
