Ever feel like your body is no longer your own after kids? Or like one more doctor visit will send you over the edge? You're not alone—and you're definitely not broken.In this episode, I'm catching up with Alana, a mom of two, and a rockstar Mindful Weight Loss Academy client who shares her raw, unfiltered story about losing 35 pounds WITHOUT giving up mac and cheese or Starbucks (umm, yes please). We're talking about her wild weight journey through pregnancies, how she bounced back from “rock bottom” moments, and what finally clicked for her when we started working together.We totally bust the myth that you have to cut out carbs, calorie count obsessively, or jump on those diet meds (yup, we talk Ozempic, too). Alana spills exactly how she shifted her mindset, ditched restriction, and started eating like a mindful badass instead—making small, sustainable tweaks that stuck for good.If you've tried ALL. THE. DIETS. and nothing sticks, or you're tired of starting over on Monday, Alana's story is your proof that it is. Grab your coffee (protein shake optional), hit play, and let's chat about how you can make weight loss work for real—without giving up the foods you love or your sanity.xoxo,JackieP.S.

Babies cry. That's how they communicate with us. But some babies cry a lot more than others. For breastfed babies, one possible answer could be food sensitivities given through the breast milk. So, how do you know if your baby has food sensitivities? And how can you figure out which foods are causing the problem?

Why do so many people bounce between extreme diets… yet never truly regain their vitality? In this conversation, Prof. Spira and Jake Gallon break down why “all or nothing” thinking quietly destroys progress—and how ignoring the transition leads people back to the very habits that broke their health in the first place. This video explores: Why extreme diet swings create short-term relief but long-term damage The difference between mucus-forming vs. pus-forming foods How constipation, stagnation, and poor elimination block real healing Why the Mucus-Free Diet Healing System is a system, not a trend How rational transition, not force, is what restores vitality over time If you've ever felt confused, stuck, or tempted to jump from one diet extreme to another, this discussion will help you zoom out, regain clarity, and understand why the middle path works. This isn't about chasing the newest diet trend. It's about building sustainable health, clear thinking, and real vitality—the way nature intended.

In this inspiring and deeply honest episode, Priscilla sits down with Lori, a client in the Reclaim Inner Circle, where she receives 1:1 support following the thyroid framework. Lori shares her extraordinary 50-year journey with Hashimoto's and what finally shifted after decades of feeling dismissed, misunderstood, and left to "figure it out" alone. Lori has lost 100 pounds—twice in her lifetime. But like so many women with thyroid and metabolic challenges, the weight loss never felt sustainable because the deeper issues were never addressed. Diets worked… until they didn't. Doctors listened… until her labs appeared "normal." Her symptoms were treated like mysteries instead of messages. This is the story of what happens when a woman refuses to give up on her health—even after half a century of searching for answers. Today, at 69 years old, Lori says she feels better now than she did in her 30s. Better energy. Better inflammation control. Better thyroid understanding. Better self-advocacy. Better confidence in her own body. And she credits that shift to finally working on the root causes instead of jumping from diet to diet or waiting for the next prescription to "fix" everything. ❤️ Inside This Episode, Lori Shares:

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Adam Lock, professor of dairy nutrition in the Department of Animal Sciences at Michigan State University. This podcast is brought to you by the AABP Nutrition Committee. Soybeans and soybean meal products are an important source of protein and fat for dairy cow diets. Soybeans are typically 38-42% crude protein and 15-20% fat. The fat in conventional soybeans is 50-55% linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) which can suppress milk fat production if fed at high levels. Roasting soybeans is common on dairy farms to increase the amount of bypass protein (RUP).  High oleic fat soybeans have more recently been fed as a soybean source in dairy cattle diets. The primary advantage of these soybeans are that they have the same percentage of fat (20%) but the fatty acid profile is 75-80% oleic acid. Oleic acid does not directly suppress milk fat production since it is a monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA). This allows us to safely feed a higher energy diet to cows. Lock suggests that we can target high producing or early lactation cows with these soybeans to provide more energy. These beans can result in higher production, higher milk fat and may have positive effects on health and immunity.  Lock provides some general guidelines for incorporating high oleic acid soybeans in dairy cattle diets. They can be included at 8-12% of diet dry matter for roasted ground beans. Cows do not need a step-up period to incorporate these into the diet and an expected response should be seen in 7-10 days. Diets should be reformulated to account for this added fat and Lock states that many times other fat sources are removed, but some palm fats can be utilized with these beans for a better fat profile. Other protein sources, such as blood meal, can be adjusted.  Effects of increasing dietary inclusion of high oleic acid soybeans on milk production of high-producing dairy cowsA.M. Bales, A.L.

In this episode, I share the story of the forgotten foods that built strong guts for thousands of years — kefir, yogurt, cultured vegetables, fermented drinks, and sourdough. These foods weren't trends or optional add-ons. They were everyday nourishment that supported digestion, immunity, and resilience. If you've ever wondered why modern guts struggle so much, this episode may help you remember what the body has always known.

THE LAST 15 with Dr Ian Smith

After a full Christmas break, a busy work season, and a lot of life happening behind the scenes, this episode is a gentle check-in. No big announcements. No dramatic comeback. Just me catching you up on the holidays, the start of a new year, and where my head and heart actually are right now.I'm sharing a few personal updates, my honest feelings about New Year pressure, and what a “glow up” looks like for me in this season (hint: it has nothing to do with becoming a brand-new person overnight).If you're feeling a little quiet, a little tired, or like you're easing back into life instead of charging into it, this episode is for you. Consider this a soft reset… and an open seat on the couch.

High-glycemic index foods push your insulin and IGF-1 into ranges linked to lung cancer, raising risk across multiple tumor types, including small cell and adenocarcinoma High-glycemic load diets, when built from fiber-rich whole fruits, vegetables, and grains, showed a lower lung cancer risk because they produced steadier blood sugar responses rather than sharp spikes Both smokers and nonsmokers experienced significantly higher lung cancer odds when eating high-GI diets, showing that carbohydrate quality influences risk regardless of smoking history Fast-absorbing carbs and ultraprocessed foods often combine high-GI starches with high linoleic acid seed oils, creating an inflammatory, insulin-resistant environment that supports abnormal cell growth Simple dietary shifts — such as reducing ultraprocessed foods, choosing slower-digesting carbs, repairing your gut before increasing fiber, and stabilizing meal timing — help you lower metabolic patterns linked to lung cancer

It's January, which means you're probably thinking about your diet. Maybe you've calculated your macros, set your eating window, or created a list of food rules to follow. But here's what happens every year: Work gets busy. Kids' sports ramp up. Life gets messy. And suddenly that "perfect" plan feels impossible to maintain.   The truth is, you don't need a better nutrition plan. You just need one that works on your best days and your worst days.   Join me this week as I break down why so many January diet attempts fail by February and offer a completely different approach to changing how you eat. You'll discover the three nutrition basics that create real stability, and how, once you nail these basics, consistency stops feeling like something you have to fight for every single day.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/186   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

Welcome to Part 2 of Behind the Pages of LIGHT, The New Psychology of Weight Loss. In the last episode, we took a step behind the curtain and revealed how the book explains why weight loss has felt so hard, even when you're smart, capable, and doing your best. We looked at familiar ideas like people pleasing and fear of success, through the lens of weight loss and named the patterns that quietly drain energy, create self-doubt, and make follow-through feel heavier than it should. Today, we're going deeper. This episode is about the heart behind the behind-the-scenes. It's about how this book actually came together, not just conceptually, but emotionally. The moments that surprised me while I was writing, the pieces that clicked into place and made the framework feel sturdy, human, and usable. The parts that turned this from a collection of ideas into something that could actually support you in real life. The whole process of LIGHT is different because it leaves room for learning, for gentleness, for being human. And why it was designed to help you feel steadier, not smaller. We'll cover how LIGHT works as a laboratory instead of a performance, how emotional eating shifts when you decode it instead of fighting it, how body image changes when you stop staring blindly at the scale and begin to view it through a prism of the real outcomes you want from weight loss, as well as how identity fits into sustainable weight loss. So, are you ready to go deeper behind the pages, into the heart of this work, and see how all of it connects in a way that clicks into place…almost like a light switch?? Let's go!   Get the book!

If you're a woman over 35 who feels tired, stretched thin, and quietly disconnected from herself, this episode is for you. At 38, I was hospitalised, burnt out, and running on empty. Today, my biological age is more than 20 years younger than my chronological age, not because of biohacks, restriction, or endless workouts, but because I made a small number of strategic changes at the exact stage of life where they matter most.

We have so much information about health, our bodies, and what will make us feel better, coming at us from every direction. If you're ready to finally hear the truth, this episode is for you. Today, host Heather Creekmore welcomes coaching client Tephanie, and Compared to Who? team member, Christian body image coach, Tara, for a moving conversation about finding real freedom from body image struggles. This episode dives into what it’s really like to join the 40-day Body Image Journey, take the next step into group coaching, and experience transformative, Christ-centered growth alongside women in all stages of life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Tephanie’s Story: Tephanie courageously shares how body image issues impacted her life for years—from feeling like the “heavier friend” as a child, to trying diets after marriage, and always believing thinness was the key to worth and happiness. The Power of Community: Listen as Tephanie describes overcoming her fears about group coaching, opening up in a safe space, and discovering that she wasn’t alone in her struggles. What Coaching Looks Like: Coach Tara explains how every woman shows up nervous, but together they create a sacred, honest place where transformation happens. Lasting Change: Tephanie reflects on how the journey shifted her mindset—from constant comparison and shame, to living with gratitude and serving as a positive role model for her family. Behind the Scenes: You’ll also get a peek into the structure of the coaching programs (the 40-day journey, Body Image Freedom Framework, Attunement Reset), how each builds on the last, and the real “magic” that’s only possible through Christ-centered community. Key Takeaways: There is no “magic formula” for body image freedom—true peace comes from seeing yourself as God sees you. You’re not alone; women of every age and stage struggle with body image, but healing happens in safe, supportive community. Change is possible, even if you’ve felt stuck for years—the journey may be ongoing, but God’s freedom is real and available for you, too.

In this episode of Wake Up Call, we look back at the LA fires a year later, and a special report on the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. We also discuss the new food pyramid, which emphasizes cutting out processed foods, and the importance of personal finance education in schools. Additionally, we talk to Dr Bill Hensley, the President and CEO of the National Endowment for Financial Education about the benefits of teaching financial literacy to young people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

282: In this episode, I'm joined by Brian Sanders, founder of the Food Lies docuseries, to break down how we ended up trapped in a culture dominated by ultra-processed foods and confusing diet options. We unpack why so many popular diets fail, how to actually find satiety, and what human cultures around the world reveal about the link between plant-based diets and longevity (it's not what you think). Brian also exposes the truth about seed oils, cholesterol, and why his health markers improved when he embraced a more animal-based approach. If you're overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode will help you finally make sense of it all. Topics Discussed: → Why are ultra-processed foods making us sick and hungry all the time? → Do plant-based diets really lead to longevity? → What do hunter-gatherer diets reveal about the best human diet? → How do harmful industrial oils stack up to traditional fats like olive oil and tallow? → Is cholesterol actually bad for you?

In this episode, Mike talks about a January reset but not the way you might be thinking. This isn't about a typical resolution to try harder or diet more. In fact, it's the opposite. It's about finally recognizing that the old ways don't work. And what the new, smarter, and effective way looks like. ------------------------------------------------Click here to apply for coaching!For some amazing resources and to be a part of a badass community, join our FB group HEREThe personality assessment is now available online!

When I wrote my book “Go Natural” we were on the Genesis diet which is a high-carb diet. Today in America, breads have lots of chemicals in them that are outlawed in Europe. In addition, the gluten in U.S. bread is much higher than God designed. Excessive gluten and chemicals are damaging to the walls of our intestines, causing leaky gut syndrome, which is the precipitator of many health problems. Our diet has changed over the years, and we are now on a modified Keto diet, a low-carb diet which we have found to be much healthier. From what I can gather, the Mediterranean Diet is perhaps the healthiest, but since we don't like many of the foods on the Mediterranean Diet, we have not tried that. Another healthy diet option would be the Paleo diet.Free downloads and other hyperlinks can be accessed through the accompanying blog: https://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/our-diets-over-last-40-years-%E2%80%93-which-one-works-youSupport the show

EPISODE 425. In this episode of Fit Friends Happy Hour, host Katie delves into the pitfalls of the 'New Year, New You' mentality often promoted in January. Statistics show that most diets and gym memberships started in January fail within months. Katie advocates for systems over shame-based motivations, emphasizing sustainable habits and routines. She introduces three essential systems for busy individuals: a food system that supports energy, a movement system that fits various life stages, and an emotional and mental reset system. Katie underscores that you don't need to reinvent yourself; you need better support systems to thrive.00:00 Introduction: The January Diet Craze00:52 The Failure of Diets and Resolutions02:28 The Emotional Drivers Behind Dieting02:53 Systems Over Shame: A Sustainable Approach04:21 Welcome to Fit Friends Happy Hour05:08 The Power of Systems: Insights from James Clear08:33 Three Essential Systems for 202613:20 Client Success Stories and Final Advice14:06 Conclusion and Encouragement15:09 Outro: Stay Connected with Fit Friends Happy HourConnect with Katie:Work with Us | www.katiehake.com/nutritioncoachingTake the Energy Quiz | www.katiehake.com/energyquizMeal Prep Like a Pro Without Obsessing Over Every Bite | www.katiehake.com/prepJoin our FREE 5-Day Walking Challenge | Walk with Me!Use special link for 15% off | Omorpho Weighted Vest Text me your AHA moment from today's episode!

I used to say to clients that any great diet must be functional and sustainable.   And while that remains true, I have also come to the conclusion that any 'diet' must enhance mind, body and spirit.   Think about diets you've tried or most people's diets out there, it only focuses on the body and because it's rooted in faulty thinking, usually it harms the body in terms of metabolic damage.   Diets can temporarily solve one issue (weight loss) by creating a far bigger issue, which will certainly lead to more weight gain (metabolic damage).   In today's episode, I give you some different ideas to think about and the benefits I've discovered with the Panda Diet in terms of my mind, my body and my spirit.  Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you are ready to have the best year of your life, I have one 1-1 Coaching slot open.  It's pricey, reassuringly so.  Text me if you'd like to have a chat. 908-229-6666

If January feels more exhausting than exciting, this episode is for you.   Steph and I break down why New Year's resolutions hit differently when you have a long history of dieting and why extreme plans, fast starts, and "I can't mess this up again" thinking often lead straight back to overeating and guilt.   We talk about how urgency and fear drive overly restrictive rules, why those rules backfire, and what it actually takes to stop the cycle without giving up on your goals.   In this episode, you'll learn:   Why motivation fades faster each year you diet How extreme rules fuel overeating and binge cycles How to respond to slip-ups without starting over What it means to become a different eater, not just follow another plan Simple mindset shifts you can start using today to create consistency   If you're tired of restarting and want a calmer, more sustainable way forward, this episode will help you do January differently.

If you've spent years — or decades — starting diets on Monday, feeling "good" or "bad" based on what you ate, or letting the scale decide your mood for the day… this episode is a deep breath of fresh air. In this powerful Tea & Truth conversation, Lynne invites you to gently step out of diet culture and into a new way of relating to food, your body, and your midlife health: nourish, don't punish. You'll learn why strict dieting backfires in midlife (especially with shifting hormones), how it impacts your metabolism, mood, cravings, and self-worth — and what it looks like to support your body with kind, steady, hormone-friendly nourishment instead of restriction and shame. This isn't about giving up on your health. It's about finally choosing approaches that actually work for women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

In today's episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with the women I coach — and it's one of the most misunderstood experiences around food.You notice that you're always hungry…Or you notice that no matter how much you eat, you never truly feel full or satisfied.At first, those sound like the same problem.But biologically, hormonally, and emotionally — they are very different.And when we can learn to tell the difference, we finally gain access to the tools that actually help us heal.Always Hungry vs. Never Satiated— Why This MattersI want you to tune into this distinction with curiosity, not judgment:Always feeling hungry is driven by your hunger hormone, ghrelinNever feeling satisfied is driven by your satiety hormone, leptinWhen these hormones are out of balance, it can feel like:You just ate, but you're still craving foodYou're physically full, yet you can't stop eatingFood occupies your thoughts constantlyYou feel disconnected from your body's signalsNothing is wrong with you.This is your nervous system and hormones communicating.Why Knowing What to Do Isn't the ProblemYou already know what to eat.You already know what you should be doing.The problem isn't information.The problem is that most eating behaviors are governed by the unconscious mind, not the conscious one.When stress, emotion, or overwhelm shows up, your conscious mind goes offline — and your unconscious mind runs the patterns it has learned. I call this the loop.That's why:Diets work temporarilyWillpower fails under stressYou feel like you're “on” or “off” the wagonThis isn't a motivation issue.It's a nervous system issue.Cortisol: The Hormone That Drives the CycleAt the center of this conversation is cortisol — your primary stress hormone.When cortisol is high:Sugar cravings increaseInsulin stays elevatedFat storage is prioritizedSleep becomes disruptedHunger and satiety signals become confusedWhen your body doesn't feel safe, it will always choose survival over satisfaction.And dieting — restriction, tracking, constant vigilance — raises cortisol.Ghrelin, Leptin & Why You Can't “Just Stop Eating”Ghrelin signals hunger when your stomach is empty.Leptin signals fullness from your fat cells.In a regulated system, they work in opposition.But under chronic stress, restriction, lack of sleep, or emotional overwhelm:Ghrelin stays elevatedLeptin signals stop being receivedYou develop leptin resistanceThis is why you can feel painfully full — and still keep eating.That's not lack of control.That's biology.Why Dieting Has Never Fixed the ProblemDieting focuses on the symptom — weight — instead of the cause.When you diet:Cortisol risesMetabolism slowsMuscle mass is lostHunger hormones increaseBinge-restrict cycles intensifyYour body only releases fat when it feels safe — not when it feels threatened.Fat loss is a side effect of regulation, not restriction.The Path Forward: Safety, Not ControlHealing begins when you:Stop outsourcing your wisdom to the scaleLearn to regulate your nervous systemAddress emotional triggers instead of suppressing themRebuild trust with your bodyThis is the work we do inside Make Peace With Food.And it's why this approach is different from everything you've tried before.You are not broken.Your body is communicating.And healing is possible.Listen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

Why do so many people quit their New Year's health goals—sometimes in just weeks? In this milestone 700th episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard to explain why lasting health has nothing to do with willpower—and everything to do with motivation. This conversation goes far beyond weight loss. You'll learn how a low-fat, plant-based diet can: • Improve digestion and hormone balance • Reduce joint pain, migraines, and inflammation • Save hundreds of dollars each year • Protect animals and the environment • Improve long-term health and athletic performance Dr. Barnard also shares unforgettable real-world stories from his research and personal life that reveal why understanding why you eat is the key to staying healthy for life.

If you've been stuck in a fat loss plateau, eating low calories, or gaining weight the moment you stop dieting, this episode explains why. In Part 1 of Healing Your Slow Metabolism, we break down how low‑calorie dieting slows metabolism health through metabolic adaptation, why cutting carbs or fat "works" short term, and what actually needs to happen before sustainable weight loss is possible. This episode lays the foundation for tracking macros, reverse dieting, and fixing the root cause instead of repeating the same dieting cycle.

The truth about diets? They keep you stuck.As the new year approaches, you might feel the pull of another plan, another try, another round of willpower. But what if the problem isn't you? What if it's the diet itself?In this best-of episode, I'm sharing 25 powerful reasons not to start another diet - not in January, not ever again.You'll learn:Why diets don't workHow they increase obsession and emotional eatingWhat to do insteadDownload the free cheat sheet: https://toomuchonherplate.com/25reasonsEnrollment is open for Your Missing Peace: https://toomuchonherplate.com/ympclub-web/ (Final session with coaching access!

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

Send us a textMetabolic effects of soybean oil and linoleic acid on obesity, fatty liver, and liver function.Topics Discussed:Historical trends in soybean oil use: Consumption increased dramatically since the 1960s due to farming subsidies, now providing over 10% of calories for many Americans, far exceeding the 1-2% required biologically.Soybean oil's effects in mice: Diets with 8-10% linoleic acid cause obesity, fatty liver, and diabetes over weeks, unlike coconut oil diets; effects persist even after diet switch unless combined with fasting.Role of HNF4 protein: This conserved liver transcription factor binds linoleic acid, regulating gene expression for metabolism; variants shift between carbohydrate and fat processing, with imbalances linked to fatty liver and cancer.Oxylipins from linoleic acid: Conversion in liver drives obesity; mice unable to produce them resist weight gain on soybean oil, suggesting these metabolites are key culprits.Vitamin B1 & soybean oil: Diets deplete B1 in liver and blood, contributing to obesity; supplementation with B1 analogs prevents weight gain, unlike beef tallow diets which preserve B1 levels.Gut & microbiome impacts: Soybean oil alters gut bacteria, potentially reducing B1 production and increasing permeability, leading to inflammation; farm animals fed soybean meal pass effects to consumers.Broader health implications: Reanalysis of old human studies questions linoleic acid's heart benefits; focus on reducing processed foods and seed oils, while noting olive oil's advantages from historical contexts.Practical Takeaways:Limit processed foods and seed oils like soybean to reduce linoleic acid intake, aiming for 1-2% of calories; read labels and opt for olive oil or home-cooked meals.Incorporate intermittent fasting, such as 12-16 hours without eating daily, to help reverse obesity effects from high-linoleic diets, based on mouse reversibility studies.Choose grass-fed or naturally fed animal products to avoid indirect soybean oil exposure from feed, potentially preserving nutrient levels like vitamin B1.Monitor diet when traveling or changing habits, as shifts in oil types can affect medication metabolism via liver enzymes.About the guest: Frances Sladek, PhD is a professor whose research focuses on the nuclear receptor HNF4 and the health impacts of dietary fats, particularly soybean oil.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.
