My guest Tracy Timm, is a Yale graduate with a behavioral psych degree. She’s a human capital advisor for Dallas’s fastest growing companies and a career coach for executives and young professionals. Tracy said, we spend more hours every week working than doing anything else. Our mindset around work effects our ability to perform in every other area of our lives.  If we hate what we do, but we spend all of our energy pretending to like or just getting through the day, then we have very little left to give to the people in our  lives who really need us By being honest with ourselves and honest with the people around us that we want more and are made for more, we live more authentic and meaningful lives and  build up stores of energy that can sustain us through the hard times but also allow us to be the best version of ourselves Tracy provides one on one coaching to guide you in the direction you want to go helping you create a detailed plan  www.tracytimm.com  

Dr Webster and I discuss gut bacteria being linked to type 2 diabetes and sugar cravings  We will discuss the cause vs effect of poor gut bacteria balance.  Does poor gut bacteria balance cause diabetes? Or does diabetes causing poor gut bacteria balance? Are you aware of the benefits of pro-biotics and proper use of antibiotics? Have you heard of the profound benefits of Berberine?  This supplement has sugar balancing properties which could be due to the fact that it positively impacts gut bacteria.

My guest was Dr. Ken Redcross, MD, board-certified internal medicine, who has been featured on TV shows such as “The Doctors,“The Insider” and E! Entertainment Television. Website: www.drredcross.com Americans are trying to fit everything they can into their schedule, and when it comes time to for exercise some people believe a weekend warrior mentality is better than nothing.

Dr. Tim Church, M.D., M.P.H, Ph.D. is one of the country’s leading physicians in exercise and obesity research. Dr Church shares 3 myths of health you're not likely to won't hear in your doctors office 1) Does having breakfast every morning help or hurt fat loss?   Where did this notion begin? Aren't we suppose to break-the-fast? Should we eat breakfast before exercise? Is genetics a factor? 2) Do activity monitors (Fitbit, Jawbone) really prevent weight loss? How accurate is the calorie count on these devices 3) How do you separate fake health care news from real health news? Do you want the truth? Or news with fake studies that suit your belief system?

Tina Allen and I share important information about three topics that are often over-looked  1You may be aging yourself faster by missing out on this important inexpensive supplement in addition to eating poorly.  2 The 6 most important supplements every vegan needs.

Dr Webster and I discuss the latest research from the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports who examined the effects of different types of exercise on the body’s ability to process glucose. One group already had healthy glucose metabolism. The second group included those with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. Here is what we address and have known for years. HIIT/burst training and it relation to fat burning, cardiovascular health, detox/cleansing Benefits of Burst that directly benefit bone health- physical impact, reduced cortisol/stress, lowered inflammation.   What I find interesting/frustrating is how science doesn't interview or care to interview the practitioners such as personal trainers and the results they receive with their clients. If they had, they could have learned about the results we/I was having with my clients more than twenty years ago.

My guest is Ford Baker who contacted me because he felt it necessary to share his story on air to help others who struggle with his former poor habits.   Ford is a former overfat person who lost over 150lbs and has kept it off for three years Ford has 3 goals.    1. He wishes to help others who judge overfat people for eating horribly and not exercising to understand that they are fully aware of how they look.    2. To share what the impetus was that created this huge change   3. To motivate others with his Today I Can message for everyone who struggles the way he did.  Www.todayican.net   We will learn the mind of a former fat guy, the impetus behind his change, how he changed his attitude toward himself, and how he committed to positive change and persisted through hard times.   How did he stayed consistent in his effort to keep his weight off and be the example he needed to be for his family and others who struggle with their health?

Coach Mo Dr Webster and I discuss different protein and their role in exercise and tricks to prepare when you’re on the run.   Does protein have to be expensive? Steak vs protein powder.    Have your protein supplement in front of you as we go through a review of what you may not want in your protein supplement.   Cheap protein may not be beneficial and potentially dangerous over time

With advances in technology and the advent of the internet, people are well informed and have read every diet book and health blog about how to lose fat.  Most people often say they know what they should be doing yet they fail to do it, and do so with consistency.   So if the lack of information is not the issue to losing and keeping fat off. What is?. Executing our learned info with consistency and the emotional impediments and habits that shape us.   So many people have intentions that extend beyond fat loss, yet they fail almost as soon as they begin to create the new habits they seek.   Have you been told you lack willpower?   Too many people experience shame and self-criticism and do not need someone else telling them they are weak.    As a health professional, it's crucial to identify how your client best receives information and what motivates them. There is no, one-off program unless you use genetic testing, but then even those results have to be implemented.   The Heath brothers who wrote, Switch. H
