“How long is this going to take!” - King Julien, Madagascar, 2005. And many dieters have been asking this since. Specifically for their fat loss results.So how long will it take before you see fat loss results? Well, can be as soon as 2 weeks to as long as 6-8 weeks. However, the answer for how long you should give it minimum to start seeing the momentum build and some bonafide results to start trickling in more quickly?That is a bit different and going to be answered today. In this episode, I reveal the minimum timeframe to realistically allow yourself for a weight loss plan to start allowing the fruits of your labour to come to fruition. How long to allow fat loss results to start really building some momentum? DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualized advice for you!

While the holiday season represents a break from training for some, for others it's the perfect opportunity to start ramping up towards big goals in the year ahead. Regardless of where you find yourself, the end of one year and the beginning of the next marks a perfect time for all runners to take some time to plan for racing and training goals in the year ahead. And while plenty of athletes will be obsessing over their Strava year-end stats and setting even loftier targets for fast times and high mileage in the new year, many might be overlooking an area for improvement that's equally ripe for the taking: their nutrition. This week on The Shakeout Podcast, we're joined by Registered Dietitian Sandra Kilmartin of No Sweat Nutrition. Sandra's joint passions for running and nutrition come together in her work helping athletes of all abilities, from the track to Ultramarathons, fuel better, feel better, and get the most out of themselves through real-world nutrition solutions.

DEATS with Deanna: Discussions around Food & Entrepreneurship
What does it actually look like to build a six-figure nutrition business in your very first year as a dietitian—while juggling multiple jobs, battling self-doubt, and trying to create a program women actually want? Today, I sit down with metabolism dietitian and OEA alum Morgan Yarborough for a powerful conversation on entrepreneurship, niche clarity, and the mindset shifts that took her from overwhelmed to fully booked. Morgan shares her journey from almost becoming a nurse, to skipping the traditional clinical path entirely, to building a thriving online coaching business rooted in metabolism, body recomposition, and helping women finally understand why their bodies feel like they're fighting them. Together, we unpack exactly how she niched down, refined her messaging, and launched her first group program—all while working three jobs and navigating an emergency appendix surgery. We also dive into the real behind-the-scenes of launching with a small audience, how she overcame the "no one will buy from me" fear, and the moment she realized her program was changing women's lives at a level she didn't expect. If you've ever wondered whether you know "enough," whether your niche is too saturated, or whether your audience is too small to sell…this episode is your proof that you can build something bigger than you think. This conversation is equal parts strategy, mindset, and pure permission. If you've been craving clarity, confidence, and a reminder that your work matters, Morgan's story is going to light you up. Tune in to hear: How Morgan skipped clinical, trusted her gut, and built a six-figure business her first year as an RD The exact niche shift that transformed her marketing—and her confidence Why her first group program sold out with only 1,300 followers The surprising mindset block keeping most women stuck in metabolism & body recomposition work How understanding metabolic adaptation became the breakthrough her clients desperately needed The moment Morgan realized her program was changing women's lives far beyond the gym or the plate Why she's walking away from corporate telehealth in 2026—and betting on herself instead Connect with Morgan: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitxmo_the_rd/ Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program?

When the going get's tough, the broken metabolism excuse get's going! We are talking the fat loss space here. The belief that one can break or has a broken metabolism, and how that is the bottleneck or reason for a lack of results.The truth? 9/10 you do not have a broken metabolism. And even the word “broken” is a potential issue but that's besides the point. You dont have a broken metabolism, you are likely falling into this very common obstacle. In this episode, I share with you the real reason or one of the more common reasons you are actually not seeing the fat loss results you want. And what you need to do to address it.

In this episode of Diet Culture Dropout, I welcome back Jennifer Neale, a registered dietician and certified intuitive eating counselor, to discuss the current social media trend of dieticians sharing honest advice without sugarcoating. We dive into various misconceptions around dieting, body image, and health, emphasizing the importance of considering social determinants of health, moving away from restrictive eating, and being critical of health information from social media. We also highlight the crucial role of fiber, the benefits of community support, and the emotional components linked with food and body image. The latter half of the discussion focuses on the impact of clothing, the importance of capturing family moments regardless of body size, and practical advice for protecting children from diet culture.Connect with Jennifer by:WebsiteInstagramHer Podcast

Sticking to a nutrition plan can be hard enough with day-to-day life, let alone while overseas adventuring and enjoying yourself.The truth is, this is a major stressor for some people as they feel it's the enemy to their goals they are working on: especially in fat loss you see this belief.However, reality is a lot more nuanced and adjusting your mindset to look at things more healthily is something I am really passionate about and teach all my clients.You do not need to let the uncertainty of travel nutrition stress you out!

Jess and Wendy sit down with registered dietitian Tiana Lavin, who brings both clinical insight and lived experience with type 1 diabetes. Tiana shares her diagnosis story, from being brushed off to landing in the ER with DKA during college finals, and the tough stretch that followed with restrictive eating and confusing advice. Tiana talks about what she wishes she knew sooner, like why chasing “perfect” numbers can backfire. We also get into the strategies that actually help! Tiana also digs into mental health and the power of finding even one person in the diabetes community.

In this candid conversation, host Robert Santana sits down with Zoe Schroeder, RD—owner of Zoe Schroeder Nutrition and known as Fat Loss RD—to explore the messy reality behind becoming a nutrition professional. After connecting at a wellness event in Scottsdale, they dive deep into Zoe's transformation from a college student doing three-a-day workouts and dangerous Pinterest cleanses to becoming the evidence-based coach she needed during those struggles.Zoe opens up about her freshman 15 experience, the toxic cycle of restriction and over-exercise, and even wrapping herself in saran wrap with coffee grounds (yes, really). But more importantly, she shares how hitting rock bottom with disordered eating led her to switch from nursing to nutrition—using herself as a case study to understand metabolism, proper fueling, and sustainable body composition changes.This episode tackles the gap between clinical dietetics and real-world coaching, why telling people to "eat less, move more" fails spectacularly, and how both hosts learned that helping clients means addressing the emotional and psychological relationship with food—not just handing out meal plans. If you've ever felt like you were doing "everything right" but still stuck, or wondered why nutrition advice seems so contradictory, this honest discussion offers practical insights on building habits that actually last beyond the honeymoon phase.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For The Business, Jerry sits down with CJ, founder of CJM Strategic Consulting, for a deep dive into the intersection of AI, technology, and physical therapy practice.Recording in late November 2025, fresh off PPS (which looked more like a tech conference than ever before), this conversation tackles the most pressing questions facing PTs today: Where does AI fit? What's our role? And how do we become architects of the future rather than replaceable cogs in the system?CJ brings a unique perspective—starting her career at Johnson & Johnson in quality engineering and operations, then transitioning to PT, working through digital health at Hinge Health, and now consulting with healthcare tech startups. She's seen both sides: the promise of technology and the reality of implementation without clinical empathy.This isn't a conversation about AI taking jobs. It's about PTs stepping up to train the systems, becoming context experts rather than task experts, and recognizing that in November 2025, AI needs us more than we need it. From ambient listening technology to benefit verification to documentation, Jerry and CJ explore why reviewing AI outputs isn't busywork—it's building the architecture for the entire profession's future.Key topics include: the human-in-the-loop vs. human-on-the-loop distinction, why documentation quality matters more than ever, how to add value to AI platforms, the risk of automation bias and deskilling, why coordination beats siloed care, and how one team member got a massive raise by managing their AI model effectively.If you're wondering where you fit in this tech-enabled future, this conversation will give you clarity—and a call to action.Key Takeaways- AI Needs Us More Than We Need It (November 2025): Right now, AI systems need expert clinicians to train them, correct them, and build the architecture for future improvements. This is our opportunity to shape these tools rather than let them shape us—but that window won't last forever.- You're Not Reviewing Notes—You're Building Systems: When you review AI-generated documentation, you're not just checking for accuracy. You're teaching the system what matters, how to think like a PT, and creating the foundation for better care delivery across the entire profession.- From Task Expert to Context Expert: The future of PT isn't about getting faster at individual tasks—it's about becoming context experts who understand the bigger picture. This shift from fragmented task completion to systems thinking is what will separate thriving practices from struggling ones.- Documentation Will Finally Reflect Reality: For decades, we've documented to get paid, not to show our value. Ambient listening and AI documentation tools are changing that—capturing education, clinical decision-making, and the full scope of what we do. This will change billing patterns and prove our worth.- Reskilling Is Really Re-Evaluating: You don't need to learn entirely new skills—you need to re-evaluate how you apply your existing expertise. The electrician doesn't become a mason; they become a systems architect who understands how electrical work fits into the whole building.- Embrace the Stairs in the Age of Escalators: Technology offers automation, but we must actively choose to maintain our clinical reasoning skills. Just as we tell patients to take the stairs for physical health, we must "take the stairs" mentally—continuing to think critically even when AI offers easier paths.

What I Actually Eat in a Day (As a Dietitian & Mom of 3) Let me guess, you think dietitians meal prep on Sundays, eat perfectly balanced meals, and never touch a chicken nugget. Spoiler: Nope. I'm a registered dietitian and a mom of three. Which means my meals need to be fast, simple, and actually doable on days when I'm running on fumes. No fancy recipes. No hours in the kitchen. No pretending I have it all together. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and showing you exactly what I eat in a real day, the good, the lazy, and the "this is what's happening today."
Imagine hearing that a dietitian, potentially trained in the same traditional, restrictive system as you, sold a $36,000 coaching program. Would your brain break the way mine did? In this episode, I'm bringing you a conversation that will completely expand how you think about pricing, transformation, and the level of work you're actually allowed to offer as a health professional. I sat down with Registered Dietitian Gina Worful, who has successfully sold a $36,000 coaching program, not because she had a massive audience or flashy marketing, but because she fully owned the depth of her work and crafted an offer that reflected real transformation. Gina takes us behind the scenes of her entire journey, from giving refunds on $100 sessions and questioning her place in the profession, to developing a proprietary methodology rooted in nervous system work, emotional patterns, embodiment, and long-term personal evolution. If you've ever felt boxed in by the traditional private-practice model or wondered what it really takes to structure a premium, high-integrity offer that actually sells, this episode will stretch your imagination in the best way. Episode Timeline Highlights [4:17] – Gina's early days in dietetics, charging $100 per session, and the client who asked for a refund that shook her confidence. [7:30] – The identity crisis that pushed her out of private practice and into deeper self-study and embodiment work [10:33] – How coaching two former clients for free helped her uncover the deeper transformation her people actually needed. [14:50] – The messy, imperfect beginnings of her first group program—and why "done is better than perfect" was the key to momentum. [18:25] – The truth about transformation timelines and why she built a year-long program even when people "say" they only want 8 weeks. [22:02] – How she found (and enrolled) her first high-ticket clients without a large audience. [29:26] – The belief work that helped her charge more without guilt—and why value is not a real, objective thing. [36:09] – What happens when you stop promising outcomes and start promising what you can truly deliver with integrity. [47:03] – Applying the same mindset work we teach our clients to ourselves as entrepreneurs. [51:16] – Why your deepest personal pain often holds the key to your most transformative (and most valuable) offer. Top 5 Direct Quotes from the Episode "Value doesn't exist. It's not a real thing. It's something we make up." "If I created programs based on what people say they want, they would keep getting the same results they've always gotten." "I felt confident because I stopped promising outcomes and started promising what I knew I could actually deliver." "Entrepreneurship is a transformational journey. You have to have a deep desire that's bigger than your fear." "My most valuable work came from the pain I was determined to understand in myself."

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For The Business, Jerry welcomes back Katie O'bright, founder of Redefine Health Education, for a much-needed update on the primary care physical therapy movement. Recording just days after speaking at a conference in Alabama on patient engagement, Jerry recognized it was time to catch up with Katie—a leader who consistently exemplifies putting patients first while building sustainable business models.Katie returns to the show (her first appearance was 1.5-2 years ago) at a pivotal moment for the profession. In 2025, the ABPTS primary care clinical specialization finally passed the House of Delegates, creating the first pathway for physical therapists to become board-certified primary care specialists. This isn't just another certification—it's a fundamental repositioning of what physical therapists can be in the healthcare system.Drawing from her military background where she served as an embedded PT in a soldier-centered medical home, Katie breaks down what primary care PT actually means, how it differs from traditional outpatient practice (3 feet deep and 3 miles wide vs. 1 foot wide and 10 miles deep), and why this model represents the future of the profession. She shares the comprehensive consensus definition developed by the Primary Care Special Interest Group, explains multiple payment models (fee-for-service, direct-to-employer, direct-to-consumer), and announces her upcoming Primary Care PT Startup Workshop for Business Leaders launching in 2026.Key Takeaways- Primary Care PT Certification Changes Everything: Unlike previous PT specializations, the new ABPTS primary care clinical specialty creates a pathway for PTs to be recognized as primary care providers for neuromusculoskeletal conditions—potentially opening doors to CMS recognition and reimbursement changes that could transform the profession.- Scope Redefined: 3 Feet Deep, 3 Miles Wide: Primary care PTs practice with a fundamentally different scope than traditional outpatient therapists. Instead of deep specialization in one area (1 foot wide, 10 miles deep), they provide broad-spectrum care (3 feet deep, 3 miles wide)—managing first contact, ongoing preventive and reactive health services as integral members of primary care teams.- Multiple Settings, Multiple Payment Models: Primary care PT isn't limited to medical clinics. Katie outlines how this model works in work sites, community centers, schools, sports facilities, wellness centers, and homes—with payment ranging from fee-for-service to direct-to-employer contracts to membership-based direct-to-consumer models.- You Don't Have to Blow Up Your Business: Practice owners don't need to abandon their current model to integrate primary care PT principles. Adding acute care slots, implementing risk stratification, or establishing relationships with value-based care organizations can enhance existing practices while opening new revenue streams.- The Profession Isn't Ready (And That's Okay): Katie acknowledges that primary care PT isn't for every physical therapist—and that's fine. The profession needs therapists in all settings. But for those ready to practice at the top of their scope, think differently about risk management, and engage with population health, the opportunity is massive.- Physicians Want This: Katie shares stories of physicians and orthopedic surgeons actively reaching out to recruit PTs into their practices. The barrier isn't physician resistance—it's that many PTs haven't learned to speak the language of primary care or understand value-based care arrangements.

Be honest—you're already thinking about it. That voice saying "I'll just enjoy the holidays and deal with it in January." You know exactly what happens next: 10 pounds of bloating, water retention, and regret somewhere between Halloween candy and New Year's champagne. But what if you didn't have to choose between enjoying the holidays and feeling good in your body? With Thanksgiving just 2 days away, Dr. Terri is bringing back the conversation that resonated most during last year's holiday season—her practical, no-nonsense discussion with functional dietitian Elizabeth DiMeo on how to navigate the next six weeks WITHOUT the January regret. In this episode, you'll discover: Why skipping meals to "save up" for Thanksgiving dinner actually sabotages your metabolism The ONE decision at the dessert table that changes everything (dessert OR alcohol—Elizabeth explains why) Elizabeth's secret weapon appetizers you should bring to every holiday party (so you always have something guilt-free) The buffalo cauliflower recipe that tastes so good you won't believe it's healthy Her genius vodka-and-tomato trick that makes you the hit of the party The truth about portion sizes (spoiler: a serving of cheese is just 2 dice) Smart strategies for navigating office parties, family dinners, and cookie exchanges This isn't about deprivation or restriction. Elizabeth gets it—she's Italian, she loves food, she literally just got back from France eating all the cheese. This is about STRATEGY. It's about making choices that let you enjoy yourself without spending January feeling bloated, inflamed, and defeated. You still have time to grab ingredients before Thursday. You can still volunteer to bring that one dish that will save you. You can still set yourself up for success. Two days until Thanksgiving. Let's make this the year you break the cycle. -- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions. For more, visit: https://www.evexias.com -- Connect with Dr. Terri DeNeui, DNP:

How many calories does someone actually consume over a 240-mile foot race, and what's happening in the body during the days it takes to feel human again? And what do Oatmeal Creme Pies and Nutter Butters have to do with it?Sports Dietitian Becca Rick returns to walk us through her second Moab 240, sharing what shifted in her training, nutrition, and race prep that helped her cut eight hours off her stop time from last year. We dig into her fluid and calorie intake during the race, how her gut handled the highs and lows, and what her early “energy burn” data revealed in the four days after finishing.

Want to learn the difference between dieting for HS and nutrition? We've got TWO experts. This week, we're joined by Cristina Curp and Jillian Ondreyka as they walk us through how nutrition can impact a patient's hidradenitis supurativa. Listen is as they discuss the relationship with food, food sensitivity testing, and how nutrition is more about adding good food in than taking bad food out. Each Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board-certified dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence-based research in integrative dermatology. For access to CE/CME courses, become a member at LearnSkin.com. Cristina Curp was diagnosed with HS at 13 years old, like many she spent most of her life hiding the disease. A decade ago, that changed, as she began to share her journey with nutrition to better manage her inflammatory symptoms, she also became vocal about living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The journey led to a successful food blog, 2 best selling cookbooks, and a decade of helping others with HS through food. Most recently, she joined the team at HS Connect as COO, and is thrilled to take her advocacy work to the next level. Jillian Ondreyka is a Dietitian with over 10 years of experience partnering with clients to achieve their nutrition goals. As a person with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, she became interested in how food can help calm inflammation in the body to encourage healing. She graduated from the University of Michigan with a Master of Public Health and Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics. She earned the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner (IFNCP) credential and is a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT). LEAP stands for Lifestyle Eating and Performance and is a patient-specific oligoantigenic diet based on the Leukocyte Activation Assay-Mediator Release Test (LAA-MRT®). Jillian began participating in dermatology research evaluating the effectiveness of the LEAP program in improving outcomes in HS in 2022. In 2025, she became a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES).

Girlfriend, maybe you've been struggling with disordered eating for decades and you don't want to put your life on hold to go into a full-blown treatment facility. Maybe you have kids at home, aging parents to care for, or a career you can't walk away from. Or maybe you don't even know what options are available, so you just stay stuck thinking you'll manage it all by yourself. Girl, you weren't meant to do this alone. In this episode, host Lindsey Nichol breaks down the 6 different levels of eating disorder treatment and care - from outpatient support to acute medical stabilization - so you can understand what's available and what might be best for YOUR unique situation and life circumstances. Lindsey shares her own treatment journey through IOP and day treatment, and why finding the right level of care that fits your life is so important. Whether you're a busy mom, working woman, caregiver, or someone who simply can't leave home for residential treatment, this episode will help you understand all your options - including recovery coaching as a personalized support option. You deserve a life free from the chains of disordered eating. And it starts with knowing what treatment options are out there. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The 6 Levels of Eating Disorder Treatment: Level 1: Outpatient Care What it is: Weekly sessions with a care team while living at home Who it's for: Those deemed medically stable who need ongoing support What's included: Dietitian, therapist, medical doctor, support groups Best for: Maintaining school, work, family life while getting treatment Level 2: Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) What it is: Multiple sessions per week in specialized settings Where it happens: Treatment centers or hospitals What's included: Group therapy, individual therapy, structured programming Lindsey's experience: This is where she spent the majority of her recovery Level 3: Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) / Day Treatment What it is: 5-6 days per week, 6-8 hours per day Structure: More intensive than outpatient, includes meals and therapies What happens: You return home in the evenings Lindsey's experience: Combined with IOP while in school - included therapies and support groups Level 4: Residential Treatment What it is: 24-hour care and supervision (inpatient experience) Who it's for: Those medically stable but requiring intensive support Where it happens: Medical hospitals, centers, or homelike facilities Structure: Full-time structured environment with comprehensive care Level 5: Inpatient Hospitalization What it is: Most appropriate for high-intensity medical/psychiatric needs Structure: 24-hour medical psychiatric facility Who it's for: Those not responding to other treatments, experiencing self-harm, severe depression, or needing intensive medical oversight Level 6: Acute Medical Stabilization What it is: The highest level of critical care for eating disorders Who it's for: Those medically unstable due to severity or medical complications Primary focus: Physical stabilization before moving to other treatment levels Plus: Recovery Coaching as a Treatment Option What it is: One-on-one virtual support for guided accountability and actionable recovery steps Who it's for: Those who can't or won't go into residential but need support How it works: Weekly sessions focused on action, not diagnosis Can be layered: Works alongside therapy, dietitian, and medical care Key Takeaways: ✨ Treatment is personalized - what works for someone else may not work for you, and that's okay ✨ You don't have to choose residential - there are multiple levels of care that allow you to stay home ✨ Recovery is NOT black and white - you can get support at various levels based on your life circumstances ✨ You weren't meant to do this alone - even if you can't go to residential, you need SOME level of support ✨ Everyone's recovery is their own - your journey is unique and valid regardless of which level of care you choose ✨ Recovery coaching is a valid option - especially when layered with other care team members ✨ You owe you, sister - putting yourself first isn't selfish, it's necessary ✨ More options exist now - compared to years ago, there are so many more treatment options available Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "You deserve a life that's free from the chains of disordered eating" "Maybe you don't even know what options are available for you, so you just stay here thinking you're gonna manage it all by yourself" "Everyone's recovery is your recovery. Your journey is your journey" "What's best for you might not be best for me. What worked for me might not work for someone else" "You weren't meant to do life alone. You definitely weren't meant to do the hard things alone" "You owe you, sister" "It's not black and white. There's so many other options" "What matters is that you're standing up for you" "You are worth it. You deserve it" "Everyone else in your life is gonna benefit when you can start putting you first" Important Information About Each Treatment Level: When to Consider Outpatient: You're medically stable You can maintain work/school/family responsibilities You need ongoing support and accountability You're in maintenance or relapse prevention phase When to Consider IOP: You need more structure than weekly appointments You can still live at home You benefit from group support You need multiple therapy modalities When to Consider PHP/Day Treatment: You need daily structure but can return home at night You require meal support You need more intensive care than IOP You're transitioning from residential or preventing residential When to Consider Residential: You need 24-hour support but are medically stable Your home environment isn't supportive of recovery You need complete immersion in treatment Outpatient options haven't been effective When to Consider Inpatient: You're experiencing severe symptoms There's self-harm or suicidal ideation You need medical and psychiatric oversight You require the highest level of structure When to Consider Recovery Coaching: You can't or won't do residential treatment You have kids, aging parents, or career obligations You want actionable support, not diagnosis You're looking for relapse prevention You want to layer support with existing care team What Makes Recovery Coaching Different: Not therapy: Coaches don't diagnose or address trauma - they focus on forward action Accountability structure: Weekly sessions keep you committed to your recovery goals Actionable support: Focused on practical steps like facing fear foods, getting off the scale, eating out with family Virtual and flexible: Fits into busy lives with kids, work, caregiving responsibilities Layered care: Works alongside dietitians, therapists, and medical professionals Relapse prevention: Helps maintain recovery after intensive treatment Questions to Ask When Choosing Treatment: What level of medical stability am I at currently? What are my life circumstances? (Kids, work, caregiving, school) Can I leave home for treatment, or do I need to stay local? What treatment options are available in my area? What does my insurance cover? Do I need 24-hour support or can I manage with weekly sessions? Am I willing to commit to doing the work required at each level? What has or hasn't worked for me in the past? Do I have a support system at home? What does my healthcare team recommend?

Dr. Jessica Knurick reveals a truth most nutrition experts won't admit: our food system is designed for profit, not health, and over half of American adults are living with chronic disease as a result. As a science-based dietitian who lost her grandfather to preventable illness at 60, she's spent her career fighting back against fear-mongering and misinformation that keeps people confused and sick. In this eye-opening conversation, she exposes why seed oils aren't the villain everyone claims, how ultra-processed foods hijack your brain to make you overeat 500 calories a day, and why the most effective health advice is actually boring. You'll walk away understanding that 90 percent of nutrition science is settled and simple, but social media algorithms profit from making you believe everything is controversial and complicated.Dr. Jessica Knurick on SubstackDr. Jessica Knurick on InstagramIn this episode you will:Discover why our food system is engineered for the majority of people to fail at health, not succeed, and how this affects every choice you makeUnderstand why over 90 percent of Americans fail to meet basic vegetable and fiber intake while chronic disease continues its relentless climbBreak through the seed oil controversy by learning what the actual research shows versus what social media wants you to believe for clicksTransform your family's relationship with food using the inclusion method that gets kids excited about nutrition without the good food bad food trapMaster the art of spotting nutrition misinformation by recognizing fear-based hooks and learning who actually deserves your trust onlineFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1845For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Mark Hyman – greatness.lnk.to/1695SCDr. William Li – greatness.lnk.to/1743SCGlucose Goddess – greatness.lnk.to/1575SC Get more from Lewis!
