Epi 327The Nutrition Secrets Every Bariatric Patient Needs to Know (from a Registered Dietitian!)In this transformative episode of Our Sleeved Life Podcast, host Mel sits down with Registered Dietitian Andres Ayesta to uncover the REAL truth behind weight loss after bariatric surgery. From the #1 mindset shift to sustainable post-op nutrition strategies, this episode is your blueprint for long-term success — whether you've had a gastric sleeve, bypass, or taking a GLP1.

Regaining weight after weight loss surgery can feel devastating. The scale goes up, and suddenly the shame, the doubt, and the fear of failure all come rushing back. But here's the truth: regain does not mean failure. In this episode, I'm breaking down the four most common reasons women believe regain equals failure — unrealistic expectations, thinking there's a time limit, old shame stories, and expecting surgery to be the full fix. More importantly, I'll show you how to stop believing those lies and start seeing regain for what it really is: feedback, not failure. If you've ever felt stuck, hopeless, or like you've ruined your chance, this episode will help you see your journey in a whole new way. Ready to take the next step? Book a free clarity call here.

We dive into the New World Screwworm, what it is, how we manage it and what it could do to the U.S. cattle industry.  Plus we have the latest news, markets and so much more on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. . Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 220 New World Screwworm:  What Is It & What Could It Do To The Cattle Industry Beware! New World Screwworm In Cattle  New World Screwworm:  What you Need to Know On November 22, 2024, the Chief Veterinary Officer of Mexico informed the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of a confirmed case of New World screwworm (NWS, Cochliomyia hominivorax). This alarming detection poses a serious threat to livestock and wildlife in North America. Here's what you need to know about this devastating pest and its implications. What Is New World Screwworm? New World screwworm is a highly destructive pest that affects livestock, other warm-blooded animals, and occasionally humans. NWS larvae infest animals through open wounds or mucous membranes, feeding on living tissue rather than dead tissue or carrion. If left untreated, infestations can be fatal. Key Facts About New World Screwworm: NWS is endemic to Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and parts of South America. It has been moving northward since 2023, spreading from Panama to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and now Mexico. U.S. Measures to Prevent NWS Spread To protect livestock and wildlife in the United States, APHIS is taking immediate action: Import Restrictions: Livestock imports, including equines, from Mexico are temporarily restricted. Horses originating from or residing in Mexico within 60 days prior to export will need to comply with stringent import protocols. Established Protocols: Pre-export treatment and examination. Treatment and examination upon arrival. A 7-day quarantine in an approved permanent import facility. These protocols follow the guidelines outlined in eCFR 9 CFR 93.308 and VSG 13424.1. Why Awareness Matters Illegally imported equines and stray animals crossing the border could introduce NWS into the United States. It is crucial for those handling livestock and pets to be vigilant. Signs of Screwworm Infestation: Draining or enlarging wounds. Signs of discomfort such as head shaking or irritated behavior. Presence of screwworm larvae (maggots) or eggs. Screwworm eggs are creamy-white and often found near the edges of wounds. Infestations commonly occur in: Navels of newborn animals. Nasal or eye openings. Genitalia and branding or dehorning wounds. What to Do If You Suspect Screwworm If you notice signs of infestation: Immediately contact your local accredited veterinarian, state animal health official, or APHIS veterinarian. Regularly inspect your pets and livestock, especially if they have wounds or show signs of discomfort. Conclusion The detection of New World screwworm in Mexico underscores the importance of vigilance in safeguarding livestock and wildlife. By adhering to import restrictions and monitoring animals closely, we can help prevent the spread of this devastating pest. Cattle & Agriculture Industry News Scientists Turn To AI To Reduce Cow Methane Researchers are considering using generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) protocols in order to develop new solutions to reduce methane emissions from cows. A team of scientists at USDA's Agricultural Research Service Livestock Nutrient Management Research Unit and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the Iowa State University are using AI to sift through large computational models to develop new approaches to managing the methane emissions. The current focus involves the discovery of a group of compound molecules that can inhibit methane production in the largest of a cow's four stomach compartments. One effective molecule has been proven to reduce enteric methane production by up to 98%. AI also may fast-forward the laboratory research process and possibly address the potential costs of launching additional research, according to the scientists.

We had the pleasure of hosting Jamie Mills @thesleeveddietitian on Instagram & Tik Tok for a discussion on body composition. Honestly, that's the short version of the topic. In reality, we talked GLP-1 usage, baby weight, body scans, and tracking food (or not!). As most of you know, we struggle with knowing how much should we be eating to fuel our bodies properly for the changes we want to see. Neither of us plan to enter a body building contest, but we do want to lose a bit more fat while gaining muscle. We tracked food religiously only to maintain our weight, which became frustrating for us. Our frustration led to us going back to meal “planning”, vs. “tracking”. We didn't necessarily count calories, but rather we ate the same foods we usually do, but according to our hunger. To us, this feels easier. It doesn't feed our all or nothing thinking and it allows us to tune in to what our body really needs at that particular time. Come to find out, when Justy went in for a follow up body scan, she had lost fat and gained muscle… all while the scale hovered in a 10 pound range! So in the end, the strict calorie counting really wasn't necessary at all! THANK GOD!Tune in as we talk to Jamie about all of this and get her advice on how to handle our hatred for tracking food but still wanting to shed a few more pounds of fat and gain muscle. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you hear!If you're not familiar with Jamie, here is a little about her:Jamie, also known as The Sleeved Dietitian on social media, is an award winning registered dietitian nutritionist who also had weight loss surgery! After struggling with PCOS and her weight her whole life, she finally decided in 2017 she needed another tool. December 19, 2017 Jamie had VSG. With the help of VSG and GLP-1 medication, she has lost 135+ lbs and has gained a whole new life! After going through WLS herself, Jamie realized how little support there was available for bariatric patients. Since her surgery, she has helped thousands of women learn about nutrition and post op life so that they can be successful long term. Since 2020 she has been supporting people through her T.R.I.B.E. Membership Program, which is a virtual membership where members have access to dozens of nutrition materials as well as 45+ virtual support groups each month led by professionals who have also had surgery. She is also a #1 best-selling author. Her book "The Easy Way Out: Why Bariatrics Isn't Cheating Obesity, It's Treating It" and is making waves in the bariatric community!
