How can we separate truth from propaganda? It surprises many to learn that in the United States, propaganda is perfectly legal. It's not so subtle though if you look closely, and the endless drum beat of talking heads repeating the same sound bites over and over doesn't inform us or get us any closer to the truth. Simply doing what we're told won't lead to long-term health or well-being—just look at the food pyramid—we have to take on that responsibility ourselves. That's why it's more important than ever to do your homework and think for yourself, especially when your health is concerned. And I realize that thinking for yourself has become very controversial as of late, but it certainly shouldn't be. In a time when we're swamped with shameless corporate propaganda, I'm honored to be here with an incredible woman who takes journalistic integrity seriously. Joining us on the show is our friend La'Tasha Givens, a multiple Emmy Award-winning reporter, anchor and radio show host who has more than a decade of experience in news. You may also remember La'Tasha from back in 2016 when we starred together on that ABC TV show, My Diet Is Better Than Yours. While filming for the show, La'Tasha dropped an impressive 45 pounds and 18.5% of her total body weight in just 14 weeks. You're going to dig this one, we're talking about... What it's like to drop 45 pounds on ABC television in front of the whole world Getting results with different approaches to fat loss—there are different ways of getting there Why the past few years have been really tough on journalists Tips on time management from a busy mom and a reporter All-time favorite cheeses And much more...

Live from the Live Better recording studio! Bret and Jason are here this week on the Live Better podcast with Dawn Jackson Blatner (aka DJ Blatner), a registered dietitian nutritionist & certified specialist in sports dietetics. She is the author of two books: The Flexitarian Diet, ranked a top plant-based diet by US News & World Report and her newest book, The Superfood Swap. She recently starred in (and won!) the hit primetime reality TV show on ABC called, My Diet Is Better Than Yours and she was the dietitian for the Chicago Cubs for 10 years (and yes, she has a Worlds Series ring.) Listen in as Bret, Jason and Dawn discuss diet, benefits of cleansing your body, how to fast and fuel on a high-performance workout schedule, making a mindset shift in what you eat and more. Show notes: [0:00-1:28] - Meet Dawn (DJ) Blatner  [1:30-5:08] - The benefits of a cleanse, periodically taking care of your body, transitioning from the SAD (standard American diet) to a first cleanse [5:15-6:20] - Time restriction eating (a type if intermittent fasting) [6:20 - 11:23] - How to fast and fuel on a high-performance workout schedule, Bret’s nutrition journey, being a curious caretaker of your human body and testing out what works for  you  [11:25-13:00] - DJ is the creator of the Flexitarian Diet (read her book today!). The science of plant-based eating with the flexibility of adding in quality proteins. [13:00-14:33] - The mindset shift in eating what you want. Dawn’s second book, Superfood Swap, came out  of the frustration of eating what you want but why not make it with superfoods and better for you ingredients 14:35-15:40] - Eat this not that, this is kinda what you want, but here is a better option. You can completely trick your brain. Taste is subjective, you can’t base your nutrition off of taste, and that isn’t the way the body responds to the food, it’s the way the mind responds to the food (i.e. Thanksgiving dinner) [17:45 - 20:16] - Table, plate, chair concept,, when people see a meal on a plate while sitting at a table on a chair, teaching you what you are addicting to  (i.e. gummy bears versus lounging in front of the TV), decoupling food with activities [20:16 - 24:00] - The Game Changers and the research on nutrition, testing on yourself first before clients. Dawn’s research strategy and how most food research has one commonality whether talking about being vegan, paleo, keto etc. that everyone is talking about REAL FOOD. Some diets may have more or a little less and that’s the only truth we can all be sure of [28:30- 31:10] - The food guide pyramid of Brazil,  food is the emotion of what you are eating and should be shared with the community. Looking at how other cultures view food, and the value travel brings to awareness of other cultures' food practices. [33:45 - 39:24] - Food, mental health and cognitive decline (like Alzheimer’s) and the connection to processed food. Prevention is just as important as management. Food is magic.  [39:24 - 43:00] - Working with professional athletes, the trends and hardships [43:00 - 44:45]: How much turmeric, ginger and tart cherry you should be eating, and your body response [44:45 - 48:00] Sleep hygiene. Human bodies are regulated by light. 5, 6, 7, 8 breathing practice [48:30 -  57:45]: What to focus on from a nutrition perspective to build more muscle, get stronger, to perform well. Basics of sports nutrition, symptoms management training, human testing, electrolytes, adaptogens, nootropics, DNA testing and metabolic testing.  [57:45 - 59:00]: People aren’t living that much longer. Looking at older civilizations practices and mushrooms (David Wolfe). Ancient old brand new.  [59:00 - 1:01:45]: ABC’s my diet is better than yours. Do, simple, better (cc: Joe Maddon). [1:04:00 - 1:07:00]: Dawn’s Best Day Ever! Living by the water, mornings are magic, and working out.

Jovanka Ciares is a former entertainment executive turned Wellness expert, detox specialist, nutrition educator and author. She is the creator of the Wellness Smackdown™, a proprietary detox and weight loss program for natural weight loss, which was featured on the first season of ABC’s “My Diet Is Better Than Yours”.   [00 : 33] - She studied nutrition with best-selling author Dr. T. Colin Campbell at Cornell University and life/wellness coaching at the Spencer Institute.     [02 : 30] - Jovanka took her life experience to make it very relatable to women.     [03 : 08] - In her early life, Jovanka made drastic changes that lead to a new life that she is living now and a career that’s she’s in now. [03 : 29] – She is from Puerto Rico.  She went to US later and she fell ill.  Started changing diet from her typical diet that she grew up with to the standard American diet. [04 : 00] - She went to graduate school, started working and climbed the corporate ladder very quickly in a large corporation. [04 : 30] - She was travelling the world and managing an enormous budget and it was taking a toll on her. [04 : 50] - In the process of finding alternatives to the smack down, it led her to the discovery of a new passion that is not mainstream.   [06 : 38] - How do you take your past experience and turn it into a business and make it a sustainable business model? How do you start from concept to really monetizing the business?   A mindset shift has to happen.  Transmit the timeframe.  Use skills that I have learned from the corporate world to transmit to my business plan.  Plan logistically and financially.  Reducing overhead to a minimum for at least the first two or three years. Clarity about how to grow the business and how to access the market as well as the people. Aligning myself with people in this industry.  I have two mentors who are instrumental in getting me to where I am today.   [10 : 50] - Fitness and nutrition programs are normally one-on-one.  How do you structure those group programs?   Started off selling one-on-one. Hired a coach in creating programs for the internet.  Started with a small program.  Now I have published 3 books, 5 or 6 products online and a membership community. [13 : 40] - It took four years after she left her job before the products started to be profitable. [15 : 58] - How did you write the first book and build your credibility further through the book? – I have written three books and they were all self-published which I did on purpose.  I asked people what they wanted in the book which I was going to write.  My second book is a cookbook that complemented the first one. [20 : 31] - You are known as a detox specialist and this word can be confusing.  Can you explain this to the listeners? – No one should be afraid of or concerned about the detox process.  What we do depends on the level of comfort of the client.     [25 : 55] - Three strategies to influence your hardest clients to focus on their health:   To determine what works for them and this can be different from what works for me.   Embrace the day-to-day, e.g. this analogy - if there is a flat tire, fix the tire and keep going.  Don’t go back to your old habit.  The end of the road is the end of your life.   It is part of the journey of your life.  The destination is death.  Your journey does not end when you reach that goal of weight loss, etc.   [30 : 54] - How do you take time off for self-care? – Self-care is not negotiable.  Find time to go for vacation and give back to the community. [35 : 10] - Last words of wisdom – Ensure that there is joy in the process every day.  There will be days that are hard but you must remember why you are doing the things you do.  Be reminded of the things that will bring you joy when your goals are achieved.   Website: http://WellnessSmackdown.com Freebie: http://sexybodyreset.com/ (Actually called the Flat Belly Reset) Social Media Links: http://facebook.com/JovankaCiares http://twitter.com/JovankaCiares http://youtube.com/user/JovankaCiares
