If the first thing you think about when trying to lose weight is everything you can't have, this episode is for you. Dr. Lisa Oldson introduces one of her favorite mindset shifts for sustainable weight loss: Add Before You Subtract. Instead of leading with restriction, deprivation, and a list of forbidden foods, Dr. Lisa explains why focusing first on adding more protein, fiber-rich fruits & vegetables, and whole foods is not only more effective, it's backed by science. You'll learn how the "crowding out" effect works, why restriction-first thinking triggers your brain's scarcity response, and how a simple abundance mindset can transform your relationship with food. If you're tired of white knuckling your way through diets that don't last and leave you feeling deprived, this episode will show you a SMARTER and more sustainable path forward for weight loss and better health.Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Anything But Average, Brittany and Christina dive into a very real conversation about health, healing, and the wake-up calls our bodies sometimes give us. Brittany shares the unexpected experience of landing in the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, walking through the symptoms, the fast-moving hospital visit, surgery, and what recovery has actually looked like in the days following. From the anxiety of not knowing what was happening to realizing how incredible the human body truly is, this experience became a powerful reminder about paying attention to the signals our bodies send. Christina also opens up about her own health journey right now, including ongoing back issues, exploring peptides, and the work required to maintain strength, mobility, and resilience. Together they unpack: • What happens when your body forces you to slow down • The importance of acting quickly when something feels off • Recovery, patience, and giving your body the time it needs • Exploring new tools and therapies that support healing • Why health awareness and self-care should never be optional   This conversation is honest, reflective, and a reminder that even the strongest, most driven people still need to listen to their bodies. Sometimes the biggest lesson is simply this: health is everything.

Up next on The Art of Teaching is Charlie Burley. Charlie is a former primary school teacher who knows, from lived experience, the pace, pressure and emotional weight that often come with life in the classroom. After feeling the toll that the profession can take on personal health and well-being, Charlie made a significant shift in his own career, choosing to focus on helping educators look after themselves with the same care they give their students every day. Today, he is a qualified nutritionist, health coach, and the founder of The Teachers' Health Coach Ltd. Through his work, Charlie supports teachers and school staff to build sustainable habits that strengthen energy, resilience and overall wellbeing. His approach brings together practical strategies around nutrition, movement and mental health, helping educators manage stress, improve focus and find a healthier rhythm both inside and outside the classroom. Charlie is also the host of the Rewriting Wellbeing Podcast, where he explores the realities of educator wellbeing and shares thoughtful conversations designed to help teachers flourish in a demanding profession. In 2025, he released his book Healthy Habits for Teacher Life, a practical guide that helps educators embed small but powerful habits into their daily routines. At the heart of Charlie's work is a belief that resonates deeply with many teachers: educators deserve to thrive, not merely keep going. When teachers take care of their own well-being, they are far better placed to sustain their passion, their energy and their impact for the long run. Here is my conversation with Charlie Burley.

Send a textWellness is a word we hear all the time—but what does it actually mean when life is complicated, busy, and sometimes overwhelming? In this milestone 200th episode, I explore the idea that living well isn't about perfection or rigid routines, but about the small choices we make every day that quietly shape our health, our relationships, and the direction of our lives. I invite you to reflect on the emotions you're choosing from, the responsibilities you're carrying, and the possibility that wellness might be closer than you think. If you've ever wondered how to care for yourself while managing a full and demanding life, this conversation might open a new perspective on what it truly means to live well.Quotes of the Week“Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing.” — Zeno “The part can never be well unless the whole is well.” — Plato CitationsCohen, S., Janicki-Deverts, D., & Miller, G.

I know biblical fasts can be hard. In our own human the desire for food, as well as  battling the temptations of the enemy to give in and quit... can feel too easy to listen to. But as a result if we give in to that, we can miss all of what God wants to show us or do in us or through us or for that person or aspect we're fasting, praying and seeking God about. So I wanted to make sure you had someone in your corner to encourage you to not give in until your fast is up (as long as you're doing this in a healthy way). To remind you that God is not done and break through is coming.Listen in as I give you a Psalm, encouragement & prayer. God is with you friend:) Worship to listen to while on your fast Live Sessions

This week, Christina and Brittany are having one of those honest, unfiltered conversations. The kind where you talk about what's actually happening in your body… how aging really feels… and why health can't sit at the bottom of the priority list anymore. They dive into inflammation and how it quietly impacts everything from energy to long-term disease, the growing conversation around peptides and recovery, and the reality of navigating wellness in a world where “nothing feels real anymore.” This episode is about taking your health seriously. About discipline. About gratitude. About choosing to live in a way that doesn't leave you with regret. If you're building a life, a career, a family — none of it works if your health falls apart. This is real talk on movement, mindset, nutrition, recovery, and what it means to age with intention. We don't shy away from the skepticism. We don't pretend we have it all figured out. But we do believe this: Health is non-negotiable.

You know what to do. You've done it before. So why does consistency with healthy habits feel so impossible right now? If you're a mom who's scrambling constantly and dropping the ball on the healthy habits you know you need to implement,  this one's for you. In this episode, I'm sharing the three things I put in my planner every single week that keep me on track with my health goals, even with five kids and a packed schedule. These aren't complicated. They're not revolutionary. But they're the reason I stay consistent when most moms feel like they're constantly falling off. If you're tired of knowing what to do but not doing it, if weight loss feels like something you keep starting over on, and if you're ready to stop treating your health like the thing that gets bumped every time life gets crazy, listen to this episode. Because the problem isn't that you don't care. It's that you don't have the structure and accountability to make healthy habits stick. And that's fixable. -Rachel Next Steps:  Book a free discovery call to chat about my program Connect with me on IG and inside my FB community

Internal medicine physician Sally Daganzo discusses her article "The hidden epidemic of orthorexia nervosa." Sally explains how the pursuit of a perfect diet can spiral into a debilitating obsession where food rules dictate a patient's entire life. She describes how individuals often adopt restrictive protocols to manage inflammation or gut health but end up suffering from intense anxiety and social isolation instead. The conversation highlights the "shadow side" of lifestyle medicine where well-meaning advice can inadvertently trigger disordered eating in vulnerable patients. Sally challenges the medical community to look beyond normal lab results to recognize when wellness culture has become a source of suffering. Learn how to spot the subtle signs of this hidden condition and help patients prioritize flexibility over rigid control. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.
