Episode #104 Interview with Dana Lee Chapman, the Diet Recovery CoachDana Lee often states, “I'm a Jersey girl” Born and raised in New Jersey, she takes great pride in helping women recover mentally, emotionally, and physically after decades of dieting damage from the impacts of the “diet culture”.She secretly struggled with disordered eating and exercise bulimia for nearly 20-years as a fitness professional, hoping her degree would give her some answers, before she decided on her own - once and for all - to stop trying so hard to lose weight and instead focus on self-acceptance and rebuilding self-esteem, regardless of what the scale said.Her flagship “MindFit Mentorship” program facilitates the ability for her clients to reclaim their own happiness and freedom, to live life to the fullest on their own terms, and to break free from a culture that has you believing no matter what or who you are, it isn't good enough. Dana Less also dated someone for 6-years who had a successful business AND a serious heroin addiction. She lost him to suicide, but today she has tremendous peace around it and often tells other loved ones of someone with a drug addiction, “I know how you feel”.It's 2022 and women are feeling heavier than ever in both body and spirit with every attempt at diet and weight loss. Dana Lee is here to help you ignite hope, happiness, and freedom within yourself, along with providing answers on how to get out from under the damage of diet culture. Be sure to check out her RealFit.tv website and download her “25 Powerful Mindset Mantras to Turn Emotional Eating Around”. Website:  https://www.realfit.tv Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/RealFitTV Personal Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/DanaLeeChapman Weekly Facebook Live Group – 11am EDT/8am PDT:  https://m.facebook.com/groups/lifebeyonddietingwithdanalee 

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Sacha: Hello! I wanted to reach out for my father who has been dealing with some serious health issues which haven't been properly diagnosed. He began having cardiac issues years ago, however in the last few years has had significant weight loss, impaired memory, slow movements, fatigue, foggy brain, digestion issues, visual impairments in which he recently had cataract surgery which we are now finding out went wrong and there are calcium deposits. Along with all these issues he also has resting tremors in his hands and lips. He's been to numerous dr's, specialists and all can't seem to properly diagnose him. His testosterone and free test. labs are extremely low, and his cortisol was only taken fasted in the am so I am unsure about those results. I am in desperate need of a functional medicine dr to see him asap and I wanted to know what if it would be possible to bring him to the clinic or if you could refer someone in NJ/NYC. I suspect that he has heavy metal toxicity as well as gut/digestion issues. Please let me know if you could assist us with his case as I do not want to take him to a random functional medicine practitioner. Best, Sacha Tom: Do you take insurance or can I use a HSA account for payment. I am interested in going to functional medical provider. Thank you Laimute: Hello, I would like to ask you about rheumatoid arthritis. My mum has rheumatoid arthritis for many years. A year ago she gave up with meat, dairy products, white flour, sugar. I'm going to take her to India for 15 days panchakarma treatment as I've heard that it would help her to get rid of toxins that causes arthritis followed by a natural ayurvedic medicines for up to a year. My question is what is the different between panchakarma and Dr. Cabral detox as both of them clean toxins from the body? Also would you suggest anything else to add to treat rheumatoid arthritis along with panchakarma treatment Many thanks Elizabeth: Hi, thank you for all the information you are providing me in your podcast. I have a question about life after thyroidectomy. I had Graves’ disease a decade ago followed by thyroidectomy. A biopsy of the thyroid showed that it was cancerous. The surgeon shrugged, and said “no big deal”. I was then put on Thyroxine, because I now have hypothyroidism, which only replaces T4. I am wondering if T3 should also be replaced. I have talked about it with my endocrinologist a couple times, and she feels like this would be “speed“ for my system, therefore does not think it would be appropriate. I think her reasoning for not putting me on T3 is the arrhythmias I continue to experience status post thyroidectomy. I am using magnesium oil, and have been using it regularly for at least the last six months at bed time without noticeable change in the arrhythmias. So my questions are these, in your opinion should I talk to my physician again about replacing T3, and is there any specific dietary recommendations you have for someone who has had a thyroidectomy, or should I just follow recommendations for someone with hypothyroidism?  John: Dear Dr. Cabral and Staff: I would like to work with your firm in whatever capacity we ultimately deem appropriate. That is my question, where do I start? I was contemplating starting with testing but in the end I am ultimately willing to enroll in a full service "Concierge" approach. My known issues are these: I have been clinically diagnosed as suffering from minor depression (one Dr. called it dysthymia), I have been diagnosed as having adult ADD, I suffer from fatigue and have trouble sleeping. My version or view of it is that I have a hard time focusing, I constantly have fatigue, I suffer from anxiety or depression and I do not sleep well. I must add that I am a 55 Year Old Male, Married, am a Self-Employed C.P.A that is on the run all the time. So, which tests do I start with? The Big Five? Do I go through a different process? Thanks for your direction. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, John Andrew: Hello Dr C, I listened to your interview on the Ben Greenfield podcast and was perusing your site - really cool as I am in your neck of the woods.... I am curious if you have studied any of the following training programs/systems:NeuroMass by Jon Bruney, Body by Science - Doug Mcguff, X3 Bar - Dr. John Jaquish If not I will do my best to encapsulate so I can get to my questions. I like all these because they allow for a very good, all-around, strength with conditioning workout in minimal time and with little or no equipment. Though Body by Science is usually done with specific workout machines, there are supposed versions online done with bodyweight. You may know Body by Science promotes a single super-slowly executed multi-set workout of high intensity across several exercises maybe once per week. Key is time under tension. NeuroMass packages similar super-slow sets with a dyanmic/power set and isometric set. Neuromass says to do these 4x/week but can adjust to more like 2x per week. Interestingly 2x Realfit champion Alex Fergus used a version of this just 1x/week with 1 set of each exercise to win Realfit. The X3 bar is a product that promises great increase in muscle mass with just 10 minutes daily based on the benefits of variable force using high strength rubber bands.My goals are to build functional strength for longevity in an efficient way without needing lots of equipment. I guess the idea would be to work on type iib muscle fiber.I like the idea of serious-training as little as once a week, provided you are getting movement in on other days and other lighter exercise, perhaps an occasional HIIT workout. Intuitively the idea of combining slow, fast and iso exercise would seem to perhaps most comprehensively train the body, but I am not sure if there is evidence to support. The X3 bar seems to have some studies that show its method greatly increases muscle. I am a little concerned that daily training might be too much (even if body focus changes between workouts) and also the possibility that the workout increases IGF (? not sure if it does) may negatively correlate to overall longevity. Maybe all work in there own way? Thoughts?
