241: Ayurveda 101 – How to Balance Your Doshas and Thrive with Best Selling Author and Ayurvedic Expert Sahara Rose

Sahara Rose

World renowned keynote speaker, best-selling author, world traveler (and recently engaged in Bali!) Sahara Rose wasn’t always a glowing picture of health and success.

 

In fact, she went through a really tough time – she didn’t have periods, lost her hair, suffered from bloating and constipation. No one could find the cause or cure the problem. Until one day she read about the Vata Dosha – it was like reading her autobiography. Following Ayurvedic practices to bring her dosha back to balance, Sahara regained her health.

 

But it was hard – Ayurveda processes are old school, and many don’t work for today’s busy lifestyles. So Sahara redesigned these ancient practices to fit the modern world.

 

Her two books – The Idiot’s guide to Ayurveda and Eat Feel Fresh (with a foreword by Deepak Chopra!) – offer simple and easy to follow strategies to get your doshas, and your health, back into balance.

 

 

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is over 5,000 years old; it’s the world’s oldest heath system. It means “the knowledge of life.” Ayurveda involves your entire life in order to heal you: nutrition, digestion, self-care, movement, morning rituals, your environment, your relationships, and your purpose.  

 

What Dosha Are YOU?

Dosha means energy. In Ayurveda, we’re all made up of energies from the elements space, air, fire, water and earth. The three doshas are: Vata (air and space), Pita (fire and water) and Kapha (earth and water). See which dosha you are below:

 

Vata

Mind When Balanced: creative, artistic, go with the flow, visionary

Mind When Unbalanced: difficulty coming down to earth, anxiety, everything up in the air, not liking a set schedule

Body When Balanced: lean, flexible

Body When Unbalanced: cold skin, slow digestion, bloating, cracking joints, unbalanced appetite, dry skin

 

Pita

Mind When Balanced: feisty, high energy, driven, business-minded, regimented, likes routine, motivated

Mind When Unbalanced: angry, aggressive

Body When Balanced: strong and athletic

Body When Unbalanced: high risk of inflammation, heart burn, acne, rashes

 

Kapha

Mind When Balanced: calm, peaceful, very giving

Mind When Unbalanced: gives too much, unable to set boundaries, people pleaser

Body When Balanced: solid, endurance

Body When Unbalanced: lethargic and prone to increased mucous.  

 

We are all a combination of all three doshas, in varying amounts, though they change depending on your stage in life.

 

Ayurveda heals the doshas within us so that we can re-balance our health. To find out YOUR dosha, take the quiz on Sahara’s website.

 

How to Rebalance Your Dosha:

Vata = Warm, grounding foods – think roots! Stay away from excessively cold foods.

Pita = Cooling, alkalizing foods – more leafy greens, bitter veg, coconut. Avoid spicy foods.

Kapha = Stimulating foods – warming spices to rev up metabolism.

 

In her latest book Eat Feel Fresh, Sahara makes it easy to incorporate this ancient healing practice into your life with over 100(!) Ayurvedic plant-based recipes. Her other book, An Idiot’s Guide to Ayurveda contains all the self-care and lifestyle strategies to take your health to the next level. Check out Sahara’s podcast, Highest Self.

 

Ayurvedic self-care 101:

  • Tongue scraping – helps your digestion & keeps your mouth fresh
  • Oil pulling followed by warm water and salt – swill oil (coconut, sesame) for 3 to 20 minutes.
  • Dry brush – brush your skin upwards towards your heart to remove dead skin cells.
  • Oil your body – give yourself a massage, hone in on the dry bits & show your body some love.

  • How you’re already practicing Ayurveda
  • What your dosha has to do with your routine
  • A personality test mixed with health and wellness
  • How to overcome negative kapha
  • How your lifestyle affects your dosha

  • Wellness tips you can benefit from, no matter what dosha you are

RISE AND BLOOM 6-WEEK WELLNESS MASTERMIND

 
Here’s what people are saying:
 

Participating in Allison Melody’s ‘Rise and Bloom’ Mastermind groups have been a total game changer for me.  That’s an overused term, I suppose, but in this case it completely applies.  Starting with the small group, day-long session in April of 2018, I received an incredible amount of information…but more than that, I left that experience with the confidence needed to kick my side hustle into full gear.

After attending Rise and Bloom in April, I was able to achieve the following:
Complete and Publish my second book
Feature my new book at a book signing event
Launch my own podcast
Develop a Group Coaching Program that will launch in 2019
That was after just one day of coaching, hot-seat, and networking with other “students” like me.  Imagine what a five week program could provide!

Having just wrapped up that five week program two days ago, my toolbox is full of the things I need to make 2019 a major success in my businesses.  Allison recruits the very best talent out there, from a variety of influencers who bring all their goods to the table for us students to devour.  I would leave each and every call feeling quite full, but not over stuffed.  Because it’s always a healthy meal when it’s coming from something related to Food Heals!

I would highly recommend the Rise and Bloom Mastermind Program for any female entrepreneur  looking to up her game.  Allison Melody has been an amazing teacher, mentor, friend, and inspiration to me.  Down to the core, y’all, she’s the real deal!

I absolutely loved Ali’s mastermind, Rise and Bloom. I learned so much! I feel like participating in this mastermind will definitely take my business to the next level because Ali shares things exactly as they are – straight and to the point! No weird strategies that don’t work. All the information she shared with us was from her own experience, and very targeted towards being efficient and effective in our business. It’s a joy to learn from her and I can’t wait to elevate my business and continue learning from Ali in the next round of this amazing mastermind!

240: The Secrets to a Healthy Microbiome – How to Heal Your Gut and Heal Your Life with the Gut Health MD, Dr. B

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

You’re only 10% human. Yes, really.

 

Just over a decade ago, doctors believed there were around 200 species of bacteria living on and in the human body. We now know the facts…there are over 30,000 (!) species. In fact, we have a community of 100 TRILLION microorganisms in our gut. That is 10 times the number of human cells in the body. So yes…we’re 10% human, 90% bacteria!

 

The microbiome was once an unknown entity, but now science has shown it to be a game changer. It’s an integral part of our health, and if we can support it, we can thrive.

 

Because of the synergistic relationship with the microorganisms in our body – we need them to survive, and they need us. However, in the last century, we’ve stopped taking care of them. Our diets (the chemicals we use to process our food), environment (the chemicals we use to clean our homes), lifestyles (lack of sleep, lack of movement, stress), medications (antibiotics) – destroy the delicate microbiome we rely on for health.

 

Doctor Will Bulsiewicz (also known as Dr. B) is an internal medicine doctor and expert gastroenterologist. While his conventional medicine training did not include any nutrition study, science was emerging about the power of diet to treat gastrointestinal disease. So he began studying it in his own time and discovered the untapped potential of a healthy gut. Having witnessed amazing results with his patients, he decided to spread the word beyond his clinic. The Gut Health MD was born.

 

 

Believe it or not, but your gut:

  • Controls your metabolism and how you process your food. It dictates whether you gain weight, or lose weight, and how easy it is to maintain your weight.
  • Is in constant communication with your immune system.
  • Regulates your mood and impulses – 95% of serotonin (your happy hormone) is produced in the gut.

 

What can you do to heal your gut?

  • Eat a wide variety of plants – the more different plants you eat, the healthier your microbiome.
  • Unless you have an allergy, don’t blanket-eliminate foods from your diet – taking out foods reduces your diet’s variety and therefore your gut’s microbiome.
  • Get proper sleep, exercise and water each day.
  • Avoid dairy, meat and processed foods – these damage your microbiome.
  • Fasting gives your gut a break and strengthens your microbiome.
  • Check out the American Gut Project. If you go to their website, they will send you a kit. Give them a stool sample, fill out a survey about your lifestyle, and for just $99 they will tell you what your microbiome looks like.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 240:

  • What volcanos and our guts have in common (this will blow your mind)
  • Is gut health to blame for autoimmune conditions?
  • What your gut does for your brain and mood
  • Can you be born with gut issues?
  • How to make sure your kids grow up with a healthy gut
  • The supercharged probiotics you create yourself
  • Why breast milk is best
  • How long you should breast-feed
  • What happens when you take antibiotics (your jaw will drop)
  • The link between gut health and urinary tract infections
  • What happens to your gut after just 5 days on antibiotics
  • The single predictor of a healthy gut
  • How quickly you can heal your digestive system
  • Why elimination is not the solution when it comes to food intolerances
  • Three of the most powerful foods for a healthy gut
  • The benefits of being vegan over being a vegetarian

@15:20 What we discovered blew our minds

@17:10 Am I an alien?

@40:04 Your gut will never be the same

@1:10:15 Drop the mic!

239: Is Toxic Mold Destroying Your Health? Tips to Diagnose, Detox and Heal with Wholistic Health Boss Jenn Malecha

Jenn Malecha

Could mold be affecting your health? Mold is a tricky thing. It’s affected people since the dawn of time – yet conventional medicine rarely addresses it.

 

But make no mistake: it is a serious issue. Mold produces mycotoxins that can drive up estrogen levels, overburden the body with toxicity and elevate inflammation – so if you’re sensitive to mold (25% of people have the gene that make them sensitive) other symptoms will appear, like frequent illness, more allergies, exhaustion and hormonal issues.

 

Jenn Malecha had a pretty healthy up-bringing – garden, vegetables, an active lifestyle. But when she got to college, the long hours and stress caused by studying and working crazy hours caused her health to decline. Then, at just 25 (and having never been a sun-worshipper), Jenn was diagnosed with skin cancer…

 

She knew it had to be caused by her environment and lifestyle. Functional tests revealed that she had high oxidative stress, a clogged-up liver, and adrenal dysfunction. So she tackled all those things, and felt like herself again…until five years later.  She began gaining weight, her periods were all over the place, she had candida overgrowth and inflamed breasts. She went to experts, who were unable to tell her what was going on.

 

One day later on she opened the cupboard near her work desk, and guess what? Black mold everywhere. The Toxic mold had been what devastated her health. Having understood what was causing these issues, she began rebalancing her health. She became the boss of her health instead of relying on doctors. She now empowers others to have that same connection with their body.

 

 

Here are some of the strategies she used to free her home and her body from mold:

 

Screen for Mold at Home:

  • Visual contrast screening – You can take the test for just $15
  • Even if you pass this test, take an at home microscopy mold test by Citrisafe. This is a small Petri dish that collects mold spores. Once sent to the lab, researchers will analyze the type of mold present in your home.
  • The other test is called an ERMI test and is available from Mycometrics . This is a cloth with which you dust surfaces around your house. The cloth is then analyzed for mold – this test can be good to do because, unlike the microscopy test, it doesn’t depend on the mold spores being alive.

 

Screen for Mold Toxicity:

  • Are you electrically charged all the time?
  • Are you urinating more frequently?
  • Nasal swab – order through a naturopathic doctor or functional practitioner.

 

Getting Rid of Mold:

  • Hire professionals to remove the mold (really important!)
  • Clean air ducts.
  • Buy anti-mold solution Bio-Balance. This is a natural toxin-free solution to remove mold from your home.
  • Get rid of mold on your carpet and your pets – products available at www.citrisafe.com.
  • After 30 days, retest your home for mold.
  • Get some functional tests done – if you’re sensitive to mold, it will trigger a chronic inflammatory response. 

 

Detox Your Body and Feed Yourself Right:

  • Biotoxins can make the body hyperreactive to wheat. So avoiding gluten is essential.
  • Eat more natural detoxifying foods like beets, dandelion tea, grapefruit, lemon.
  • Keep an anti-inflammatory diet – remove grains, dairy, soy, sugar, and processed foods from your diet.
  • Run a food sensitivity test to find out which foods to stay away from.
  • Check your personal care products – do they contain allergens like oats or almonds?
  • Start a food journal – this will help you identify what triggers your symptoms.
  • Listen to your body – tune in and see what the body is telling you rather than just trying to follow protocols.
  • Think yourself healthy – mindset and health are absolutely linked.
  • Meditate, feed your mind positive thoughts, give yourself enough sleep (leave your cell phone out of the bedroom).
  • Make time to switch off and relax.

 

Jenn now helps busy professionals take back control of their health by offering lab tests and resources that identify the missing piece of their health puzzle. With over a decade of personal training experience, Jenn creates personalized health-rebuilding programs for her clients that are realistic and achievable.

What you’ll learn in Episode 239:

  • Is the sun really an enemy?
  • How Jenn reversed Hashimoto’s disease in 6 months
  • How you can be a “w”holistic health boss
  • What mold and electricity have in common
  • Why NOT to get the Home Depot mold test
  • Is it possible to get rid of mold without toxic chemicals?
  • What Lyme disease and mold have in common
  • The most powerful detoxifying foods
  • Why your toiletries might be stopping you from getting healthier
  • The role of mindset in recovery
  • The single most important thing you can do to allow your body to heal
  • The key difference between an allergy and an intolerance

@40:02 Gluten everywhere!

238: Transform Yourself From The Outside In With Makeover & Dating Expert Kimberly Seltzer

Kimberly Seltzer

New year, New You! You know what that means? A new makeover is in order. So what better way to begin 2019 than with style coach Kimberly Seltzer!

 

You might not realize it, but your outfits are more than just clothes. They say a lot about you. They can keep you feeling down, they can block love, and they can even give away your power. Wearing muted colors, going for the bigger size, wrapping up in layers: it all sends a strong message, both to the outside world and to yourself. That message is you are not confident and are not comfortable in your own skin.

 

Because of this, implementing positive change is an uphill struggle. But this can work the other way too: a great outfit can make you feel empowered, and over time this boosts your confidence and improves your mindset, so you can attract what you want – whether it’s in love or in business.

 

Often, we’re told that if we work on what’s on the inside – our mindset – we can transform what’s on the outside.  But the truth is, if you work on both your mindset and your wardrobe, transformation gets much faster. Kim knows about this first-hand.

 

 

Twenty years ago, she was a traditional therapist – in other words, she was totally focused on the internal side of things. But life happened; she got a divorce. Her mood was so low she couldn’t even get out of bed, let alone be a helpful therapist. Despite her knowledge of talking therapy, she couldn’t get out of her own way or change how she felt.

 

One day, she looked in the mirror. And she was horrified. Frumpy, wearing oversized clothes, a nursing bra and Birkenstocks. She looked like her mindset: sad and hiding in a cocoon of black. So she went shopping. Luckily, a personal shopper saw her picking out her usual uniform and intervened with a sexy little red dress. This chance encounter changed Kim’s life forever. She suddenly felt like herself again. Her confidence started growing. And the rest is history. Now, Kim is determined to help others reconnect with themselves and find their perfect partner.  

 

Kim’s tips for dating:

  • Be aware of your posture and body language – uncross your arms, stand tall, smile.
  • The 3 F’s:
    • FUN – stop taking things so seriously, take pleasure in life.
    • FASHION – dress in clothes that make you feel sexy and confident.
    • FLIRTING – flirt with life. Flirting is to behave as though you are attracted to someone, without the serious intention of an outcome – and that last part is most important. Don’t get hung up on the result, just be in the moment and be playful. That will act like a magnet.
  • Take Kim’s free Body Shape Guide – come out of your cocoon!
  • Check out Kim’s podcast Charisma Quotient.
  • Connect with Kim – jump on a free taster call or book a virtual makeover session.

 

If you want to see some of the transformations Kim has helped make happen, check out her Instagram.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 238:

  • How to transform your confidence from the outside in
  • Is the way you dress preventing you from finding love?
  • The color that attracts men – and why
  • Why never to stop dating (even when you’re married)
  • The first thing to do to improve your confidence
  • Tips to attract your mate
  • How to flirt with life
  • Why we lose our spark, and how to get it back
  • What we can learn from children and animals
  • How to own your body and all that you are
  • A way of setting New Year goals that actually works

236: Change Your Internal Environment to Beat Cancer with Wellness Warrior & Cancer Survivor Chris Wark

Chris Wark

Imagine being 26 years old and being told you have stage 3 colon cancer. Just before Christmas.

 

That’s what happened to Chris Wark. What began as intermittent abdominal pain was actually a tumor the size of a golf ball. He was rushed into surgery, but woke up to the news that the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes.

 

What option did doctors give him? Just chemotherapy – 9 to 12 months.

 

But poisoning himself back to health didn’t make sense to Chris. He wanted to build his body back up, not tear it down. He began researching alternatives. The books he read opened his eyes to the healing power of nutrition and how our diet impacts our health. Suddenly he realized that he’d created his cancer; so he could fix it. He immediately bought a juicer and went from a standard American diet to 100% vegan and 100% raw.

 

It wasn’t as easy to make that decision as it sounds. His oncologist told him he was insane to refuse chemo, that fruits and vegetables would “fight” the treatment, and that chemo was his only hope. He was even told he had a 50% chance of survival past the next 5 years if he went the path of nutrition instead of chemo.

 

Chris was crushed, and frightened.

 

Unfortunately, this is something that happens to almost all cancer patients. They are manipulated into believing that chemotherapy and cancer drugs are the only solutions. They’re told that diets make no difference. When Chris woke up from the surgery to remove his tumor, his first hospital meal was a sloppy joe – despite the fact red meat is classified as a “probable carcinogen” by the World Health Organization.

 

 

Patients are told their cancer is either bad luck or bad genes. This turns patients into victims of circumstance, whose only hope is to show up for “standard” treatment. But we know that cancer is multifactorial.

 

Only 5% of cancers are genetic – 95% are caused by diet, lifestyle and environment.

 

Cancer is not something that just happens, and it isn’t something we are powerless against. We have cancer cells in our bodies all the time, but our immune system is designed to fight and kill these cells. The difference between someone with cancer and someone without is their internal environment. 

 

So how do we make our bodies a place cancer can’t survive?

 

Chris’s tips to prevent and heal cancer:

  • Make plans for the future – make plans to LIVE
  • Exercise – move your body every day
  • Laugh and sing – laughter and singing release endorphins and improve your immune system
  • Eat LOTS of fruits and vegetables – the recommended amount is 10 servings (5 cups) every day
  • Eat cancer-fighting foods – the most potent ones are vegetables from the allium (onions, leeks, garlic) and cruciferous (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage) family.
  • Remove toxicity from your life – cleaning products, beauty products (even toxic people).
  • Love yourself and people around you.

 

Now it’s time to take our health into our own hands. Chris’s book Chris Beat Cancer: A Comprehensive Plan for Healing Naturally, is a great place to start. It covers the pitfalls of the cancer industry and offers strategies you can start implementing right now to prevent cancer from affecting your future. We can’t recommend it enough – if you’re serious about cancer prevention, this book is for you. And if you’re looking for inspiration, Chris’s podcast showcases people who have healed cancer naturally. Check it out!

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 236:

  • How Chris healed his cancer
  • Why doctors do NOT know best
  • The most shocking cancer statistic NO ONE ever talks about
  • The theory of the war on cancer
  • Why you don’t fight cancer, you heal it
  • How your immune system kills cancer cells
  • The massive lie about cancer treatment and quality of life
  • How doctors use fear to manipulate cancer patients
  • Why your genes do not cause cancer
  • Does making plans help heal cancer?
  • How to create an environment that kicks cancer’s butt

235: Your Blueprint For Weight Loss Success and Avoiding the Black Hole of Fitness Doom with Fitness Expert Adam Schaeuble

Adam Schaeuble

Adam Schaeuble is a PHD. No, not that kind of PHD. 

 

Adam’s a Previously Heavy Dude. At his rock bottom, Adam weighed 327 pounds (and was $40,000+ in debt). But he had good friends who kept giving him the DVD of The Secret to watch. When he eventually did, Adam realized he needed to take his future into his own hands. Five years on, he’s achieved everything he set out to – lost 100 pounds, started a family, and ran a successful business.

 

How? He stopped focusing on what the world was bringing to his door and instead started looking at what he wanted to achieve, and how he was going to attract what he wanted into his life. Positive mental attitude, a strong lifestyle rehabilitation statement, and consistency are key.

 

Through this journey, Adam found his calling: to help as many people as possible dial up their health and get the results they deserve. Now a transformational coach, fitness expert and gym owner, he’s helped his home town lose over 35,000 pounds, and is on a mission to help people lose 1 million pounds of excess body weight.

 

His new podcast, the Million Pound Mission, goes into next-level thinking to take you deeper into nutrition and fitness, and motivate you to take action and get results. It’s packed with inspiration and knowledge bombs – if you’re trying to lose weight, this is the show for you! You can donate your weight loss to the Million Pound Mission here.  

 

 

Adam’s Manifestation Tips:

  • Write your goals down as though you’ve already achieved them
  • Declare your goals out loud every day, morning and evening
  • Break down your goals into manageable chunks and take action
  • Don’t go to bed before doing at least ONE thing towards your goals
  • Don’t be afraid to focus on several goals at once
  • Find your WHY – ask yourself why you want to reach your goal – that’s what will get you fired up and motivated.

 

Black Hole of Fitness Doom

When we embark on a new program, whether it’s a fitness program or a new diet, we all go through the same cycle:

  • Start out feeling pumped!
  • See results, stay fired up!
  • “Life Happens”, not ready, crash and burn…
  • Give up altogether.
  • Start another program and think it will be different this time.

And on we go, losing weight, gaining it back, and each time feeling less motivated and more burned out. To break out of that cycle, it’s vital to figure out your transformational danger zones and find strategies to deal with them. Once you do that, you will get dramatically better results from your fitness and nutrition program.

 

Adam’s Amazing Results Formula:

If you apply these four principles to any health goals, you’re going to succeed.

  1. Get committed to ONE nutrition plan. Be consistent for 28 days.
  2. Get committed to a 28-day fitness plan – plan your workouts in advance and stick to them.
  3. Strategic thinking – understand your danger zones and the things that usually derail you, and devise a plan to avoid falling into the Black Hole of Fitness Doom.
  4. Do the first three consistently over time. Consistency is key.

 

Adam’s tips for surviving the holiday season without gaining loads of weight:

  • This isn’t the time to focus on losing weight – it’s more about maintaining, while being accountable to a plan.
  • Start filling in your transformational notebook (you can download it free on Adam’s website) and create a 28-day cycle.
  • Allow some cheat meals, and track them so you can adapt your next 28 days – don’t beat yourself up!
  • Be present and conscious. You can build momentum every new cycle.
  • Just don’t check out – be easy on yourself but have a game plan to keep your goals in mind.
  • Check out Adam’s Reset Bootcamp!

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 235:

  • How to quit being a crap-magnet
  • How to create your own lifestyle rehabilitation statement
  • The best way to manifest your goals
  • Why reciting your goals out loud is the most powerful practice
  • How to keep a positive mental attitude
  • How to find your WHY
  • If you can do THIS, you can achieve anything
  • A game-changing strategy to avoid burning out
  • Strategies to survive the holidays without gaining weight
  • A manifestation tip we are OBSESSED with!
  • How to avoid holiday binge fests
  • The key to successful, long-term weight loss

234: The Truth About Keto, Reversing Diabetes and Going Vegan with Dr. Neal Barnard

Dr. Neal Barnard

Can you reverse diabetes?

 

Conventional science says no…but our favorite plant-based doctor says YES! And it’s all backed by science.

 

Dr. Neal Barnard grew up on a ranch in North Dakota (cattle country). But it was only while working as an autopsy assistant that he truly made the connection between meat and a dead animal. Thus the seed was planted. As time went on, he began to think about veganism from the standpoint of both health and animal welfare.

 

At the core of Dr. Barnard’s beliefs is that compassion should be the foundation of medicine – this means all medical research should be ethical. So if a disease is related to food, like diabetes, we need to do more than simply throw pharmaceuticals at it. That’s why he set up the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that promotes preventative medicine through a plant-based diet.

 

Dr. Barnard sits down and talks with Allison and guest co-host Leslie Durso about…

 

 

What is diabetes?

Diabetes happens when your body’s cells are no longer able to absorb sugar and use it for energy. This happens if you eat too many fatty foods. Fat gets into the cells and stops them working property. The solution? Well, it isn’t the standard diabetes diet (low-calorie, low-carb). The best diet for reversing diabetes is a vegan diet, with minimum oils and an abundance of low-glycemic foods.

 

Why not just avoid carbs?

Many people think that to control your blood sugar you simply need to avoid carbs. But the problem with that theory is that around half of what we eat contains carbs – including a lot of good stuff, like sweet potatoes, beans and whole grains. Sure, your blood sugar levels will drop and you will lose weight on a low-carb diet… because you’re semi-starving. It is not sustainable long-term. Then add extra eggs and meat, and the result is more cholesterol and a higher risk of early death.

 

Keto may be on trend, but it won’t do your health much good.

 

Dr. Barnard isn’t just a plant-based nutrition expert. He’s also a TV host and best-selling author, with over 70 scientific papers and 18 books published. His latest one, The Vegan Starter-Kit is a super-short book packed with tips for transitioning to a vegan diet and reversing diabetes. It’s perfect gift for anyone looking to go plant-based – give your loved ones the gift of health! It’s out on December 24th, and you can pre-order it on Amazon now.

 

Dr. Barnard’s best plant-based tips for the holidays:

  • Choose a restaurant with great plant-based options, like Italian, Thai and Japanese.  
  • Make a healthy dish and bring it to the party (or just make a vegan cheeseboard if you don’t fancy cooking).
  • Don’t arrive at the party hungry – have a little something to eat beforehand.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 234:

  • How to make diabetes disappear
  • Why the ketogenic diet does not work
  • The link between meat and early death
  • Debunking the myth that beans are bad
  • How to turn your greens into dessert
  • Is soy actually bad for you?
  • The truth about coconut oil
  • Dr. Barnard’s best oil replacers
  • Why to cook with alcohol!
  • The easiest way to inspire people to go vegan
  • The diet that gives you better blood sugar control than the standard diabetes diet

233: Kick Your Sugar Addiction & Free Yourself From Overeating For Good with Weight Loss Expert David Zappasodi

David Zappasodi

When Allison hired weight-loss expert David Zappasodi, he told her to stop exercising and go buy a bunch of junk food…

 

….now, you’re thinking WHAT!?!? (But it worked.)

 

Did you know only 3% of all the people who try losing weight every year actually succeed? From the moment David stepped into the health and wellness industry, over 20 years ago, he knew he had to find a new method that challenged common weight-loss approaches. So he developed a revolutionary strategy to reprogram your brain to give up junk food and stop over-eating for good. 

 

The first step? Create brain-flips around your cravings.

How Do Brain Flips Work?

We have two aspects to our brain.

  1. The Thinking Brain – We use it to fix problems and make our lives better. The thinking brain knows that certain foods are an issue and it wants to get rid of the craving. This is the part of the brain most of us will try to use to lose weight, and it never works.
  2. The Sensory Brain – This one’s a little different. It just functions through your senses – hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste – but it doesn’t have a concept of what it’s seeing, tasting, touching, smelling, etc. The sensory brain is a deep-set mechanism, keeping you safe by creating familiar associations.

 

Example Of The Two Brains In Action: Let’s say as a child you fell and scraped your knee. Your mom bandaged it up, and gave you an ice-cream. Your thinking brain is aware the bandaging is what’s helping, but your sensory brain just links the taste of ice-cream to the physical sensation of feeling better – it creates a program that says ice-cream equals feeling good. The result? A craving for ice-cream that lasts into adulthood.

 

The story changes, the food changes, but it’s pretty much the same for everyone and all cravings. Your thinking brain might know that this is happening, but that won’t solve the problem. Unless you can reprogram your sensory brain too, you will keep having those cravings.

 

You need a brain-flip. But to create this brain-flip, you need a pain tool.

 

Pain Tool:

David gets his clients to make an audio that goes deep into what their life will look like if they don’t solve this problem, which they listen to while eating the ice-cream (to stick with our example) they crave. This pain tool plants a seed in the sensory brain that says ice-cream is not enjoyable after all. It’s a small seed, but it begins to decrease the cravings. Within a few days, this new programming takes over.

 

Your brain no longer associates the ice-cream with comfort…it associates it with pain. The result? You don’t crave that food any more. You are free.

 

And that’s just Phase 1.

 

In Phase 2 and Phase 3, you go even deeper by brain-flipping your beliefs about overeating and working out. David dives deep into all the phases on today’s podcast episode!

 

Alli has just completed Phase 1, and has gone from eating dessert every single day to not even wanting anything sweet. She feels like a completely new person – and you can too!

 

If you’ve tried program after program and are seriously struggling with weight-loss, you can schedule a free coaching call with David at www.empoweredhealthnow.com/talk.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 233:

  • What cravings and bullies have in common
  • Why you are unable to let go of your cravings
  • How to reprogram your brain and free yourself of cravings in just 10 days
  • The difference between the subconscious and the sensory brain
  • Why willpower is not effective
  • Alli’s journey from daily sugar addiction to not needing any sweets at all
  • The 3 things that make a meal satisfying
  • How to create a centering tool to tackle your overeating
  • A 5-minute strategy that will make exercise something you can’t wait to do
  • David’s process to get you out of food addiction and into your skinny jeans!
