This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition, Strong Coffee Company and Timeline Nutrition.  In this powerful and timely episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase sits down with Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to discuss a growing national movement around children's health, school nutrition, and public policy reform. Senator McMath dives deep into his groundbreaking Senate Bill 14 (Act 463)—a first-of-its-kind initiative to limit artificial dyes, additives, and sweeteners in school meals, introduce QR code ingredient transparency, and improve the overall nutritional standards in Louisiana schools. What began as a personal journey to restore his family's health evolved into a statewide wellness movement—and a national example of how policy can reshape public health from the ground up. Together, Chase and Patrick explore the intersection of wellness, politics, and personal responsibility, how chaos can lead to reform, and why the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is transforming how we think about food and children's well-being. ----- In this episode we discuss... 02:00 – Meet Senator Patrick McMath 04:45 – From Infrastructure to Health Care Reform 08:40 – Louisiana's Health Crisis 11:15 – A Personal Wake-Up Call: His Wife's Health Journey 13:45 – The Book That Changed Everything: End of Cravings 17:20 – From Family Health to Public Policy 20:00 – Children, Schools, and the MAHA Movement 27:20 – The “Maha Moms” and Grassroots Advocacy 33:00 – What SB 14 Actually Does 37:00 – Learning from Other States & Building Momentum 41:00 – Forcing Big Food to the Table 46:00 – Transparency, QR Codes, and What's Next 50:00 – The Economics of Healthy Change 54:30 – Good Chaos: Disrupting for Progress 59:10 – Profits vs. Public Health 1:05:00 – The SNAP Program and Coca-Cola's Pushback 1:10:00 – Public Engagement & The Power of the People 1:13:00 – How Podcasts Drive Change 1:17:00 – Rapid Fire: Prevention, Education, and Chronic Disease 1:19:30 – His Decade Wish: Eradicating Cancer & Autism's Rise 1:21:00 – Politics Meets Wellness 1:24:10 – Ever Forward ----- Episode resources: 20% off Flow and Serenity gummies with at https://www.CuredNutrition.com/everforward 15% off Coffee Booster with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com  FREE 3-day sample of MitoPure gummies with Urolithin A at https://www.Timeline.com/everforwardsample  Watch and subscribe on YouTube Learn more at PatrickMcMath.com

What unconscious beliefs are holding you back from creating real, lasting change?In this episode, I talk about the hidden patterns that influence much of what we do—often without us even realizing it. Whether it's emotional eating, money struggles, or challenges in relationships, many of these patterns come from unconscious beliefs formed in childhood.I'll share how practices like hypnotherapy, journaling, and simple awareness can help you spot these patterns, understand where they come from, and finally break free from self-sabotage.Toward the end, I'll explain how hypnotherapy isn't just about healing the past—it's also a powerful way to connect with your future self and see what's possible with clarity and confidence.Listen now to discover how to build awareness, take back ownership, and rewire your beliefs for real and lasting transformation.Topics Covered:How unconscious beliefs from childhood shape adult behaviorsWhy emotional eating and self-sabotage are nervous system responsesThe link between emotional pain and physical pain in childrenEscaping the body through food, substances, or overspendingJournaling and self-reflection as tools for awarenessHypnotherapy as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mindShifting from avoidance patterns into ownership and empowerment

Discover the remarkable benefits of L-glutamine, a supplement that might just transform your health and fitness journey. This powerhouse amino acid makes up 60% of your muscle tissue and plays a crucial role in producing human growth hormone – that coveted "fountain of youth" that naturally diminishes as we age.Beyond its well-known muscle recovery properties, L-glutamine serves as a foundation for gut health, which I've found is absolutely essential for sustainable weight loss. Before you focus on diet or exercise, addressing digestive issues creates the internal environment necessary for real progress. Those suffering from conditions like diverticulitis or general digestive discomfort may find particular relief, while simultaneously strengthening their immune system and establishing a healthier pH balance throughout the body.What truly amazed me about L-glutamine was its unexpected benefits for mental wellbeing and appearance. Users report reduced anxiety, improved concentration, and enhanced stress management – crucial for lowering cortisol, our primary fat-storage hormone. Meanwhile, it works wonders for skin tightening (yes, on your face too!) and nail strength. Since incorporating just 5 grams daily into my morning smoothie, my once brittle nails now grow like never before. L-glutamine also naturally reduces sugar and alcohol cravings, making healthy eating significantly easier. Available as a tasteless powder that dissolves easily in water or beverages, this supplement deserves serious consideration for anyone pursuing better health, enhanced recovery, or sustainable weight management.Visit my website at lauralondonfitness.com and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear about your experiences with L-glutamine or answer any questions you might have about incorporating it into your wellness routine.I hope you enjoyed this episode of the Connected Body Podcast.

Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss.   In this episode, we're going to explore the science of how our thoughts influence our cravings and recovery.  Let's start with the neuroscience. Cravings aren't just random. When we consume ultra-processed foods regularly, our brain's reward system—especially the dopamine pathways—gets hijacked. That means our cravings are embedded in our neural circuitry.   Which means, it's not just about food being tasty—it's about how ultra-processed foods bypass normal satiety signals and create unnatural pleasure spikes.  In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery. Be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page. You can also follow Real Food Recovery on Instagram (@realfoodrecovery4u), TikTok (@realfoodrecovery), or at www.realfoodrecovery4u.com.

Why do 90% of people who know exactly what to do to release weight still struggle to follow through?In this episode, I dive into the shocking statistics from the CDC showing that 73% of the population is overweight or obese—and yet, lack of information isn't the problem. From calorie-counting myths to the outdated “eat less, move more” approach, I break down why traditional advice has failed us and reveal the real missing pieces: your hormones and nervous system.If you've ever wondered why willpower and diet plans don't last, this conversation will show you how to finally bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.Tune in to the full episode to learn how to make peace with your body, reset your nervous system, and create lasting transformation.The shocking rise of obesity despite endless diets, books, and expertsWhy information isn't the problem—transformation isHow the nervous system keeps the body in “storage mode” when it feels unsafeThe role of hormones like cortisol and insulin in cravings and fat storageWhy calorie-counting oversimplifies weight loss and ignores biologyWhat it really means to exercise in a way that makes the body feel safe

What do you do when you're doing all the right things — eating real food, stabilizing your blood sugar, working on gut health, resting — and then someone shows up 30 pounds lighter from the latest injections, shakes, or quick-fix program? The comparison is real, the discouragement is heavy, and it can leave you wondering if you're failing.In this episode of The Crying in My Cheesecake Podcast, Dr. Danielle gets honest about the tension we don't say out loud: why your slower, foundational healing journey is not failure — it's freedom. She unpacks the truth behind fast weight loss gimmicks, why healing must be sustainable, and how your journey is designed by God for restoration, not shortcuts. If you've ever felt like the “fat friend” or “behind,” this episode will remind you that you're not.

Repeated dieting followed by binging reshapes your gut bacteria in ways that increase cravings for junk food and make overeating harder to control The more you cycle between restriction and indulgence, the more your microbiome drives binge behavior by altering brain reward pathways People with binge-eating disorder have fewer beneficial gut microbes and higher levels of inflammation, disrupting mood, impulse control, and fullness signals Gut bacteria from yo-yo dieters triggered the same binge-eating behaviors in healthy animals, showing how powerful and transferable gut changes are Healing your gut with easy-to-digest carbs and targeted probiotics calms inflammation, restores microbiome balance, and helps break the restrict-binge cycle for good

What if the very thing you've been relying on—restriction—is actually the reason you feel stuck in cycles of cravings and bingeing?In this episode of Make Peace with Food, I dive into one of the most common questions I get: “If I stop restricting, won't I just gain all the weight back?” I break down the nervous system's role in food scarcity, why restriction gives certain foods “power” over us, and how shifting from scarcity to abundance can actually dissolve cravings and create true freedom.By the end, you'll see why releasing restriction doesn't mean losing control—it means reclaiming your power. Listen to the full episode now and discover the freedom waiting for you beyond restriction. Topics Covered: Why restriction triggers binge eating through the nervous systemThe counterintuitive truth about releasing weight without food rulesMind hunger vs. body hunger: how to spot the differenceHow restriction gives foods “power” (and how to break that power)Why abundance, not scarcity, is the key to food freedomThe role of early childhood experiences in oral fixations and cravingsHow hypnotherapy helps uncover unconscious food triggers

If you've struggled with food cravings, emotional eating, or that endless cycle of starting strong in the morning and collapsing into stress at night… this walking meditation is for you.I recorded this 15-minute walking meditation with a soothing flute in the background to help you reset your nervous system, energize your metabolism, and step into the healthiest version of yourself.Walking meditation is more than exercise — it's reprogramming your mind and body. When you move your body while repeating new thoughts and connecting to your breath, you're literally building new neural pathways. Each step becomes a message to your subconscious: I choose calm, I choose health, I choose freedom.I know this works because I lived it.For years, I used food to cope with stress, and I thought willpower was the only solution. But every time life got heavy, willpower ran out. What shifted everything for me was nervous system support, hypnosis, and somatic practices like this.That's why I created CalmCravings™, my mobile app filled with hypnosis, breathwork, somatic tools, and even an AI pocket coach that helps you handle cravings in the moment. It's trauma-informed, supportive, and built to help women feel safe, free, and enough — without diets or shame.✨ Try CalmCravings™ for free here → CALMCRAVINGSFor now, enjoy this meditation. Walk with me. Feel your body release tension, feel your mind shift into calm, and notice how your cravings lose their grip.Remember: you're not broken. You're becoming.With love,Monica

Why is it that so many high-achieving men—men who value discipline, morality, and service—secretly struggle with porn addiction? On the surface, it doesn't make sense. How can a man who leads, provides, and sacrifices also be the same man sneaking away to watch porn in the dark?In this episode, I uncover the paradox of the high-achiever and porn addiction.

Should sobriety be earned rather than prescribed?This week Vic and Hamish tackle the hype around Ozempic, the so-called miracle jab that claims to melt away kilos and even dampen alcohol cravings.It sounds tempting, right? But is it really the answer, or just another shiny shortcut that sidesteps the real work sobriety demands - you know, the uncomfortable, icky but rewarding bits like sitting with cravings, unravelling old habits, and actually dealing with what drove us to drink in the first place?They dig into the science, side effects, and sketchy unknowns, questioning whether reducing cravings with a drug is the same as actual long-term recovery. Along the way they share their own experiences, from resisting “easy fixes” to why the messy, imperfect slog of sobriety might be the most empowering path of all.Oh, and there is also a rather long monologue at the start of this episode about constipation.Expect a mix of laughs, some chat about odd bodily functions, a rather annoying Oscar level speech, and a shark teeth story.
