Many of us have been taught to be biased against fat people, influenced by our societal norms, family, and media. The constant message we receive is that being fat is undesirable, and there is a lot of money spent on trying to make fat people lose weight. But why is this necessary? Is there really anything wrong with being fat? In this episode, Wendy and Debbie explore the idea that being fat is not a problem, but having a prejudice against "overweight" individuals is.

Most of us LOVE sweet stuff. We do. Most of us also know that sugar can cause problems with our health, so we try to cut back or avoid it. Of course, this is a good plan, but we don’t realistically completely avoid sugar. So, quality matters. In this podcast, we talk about more nutrient-dense sugars that we use in our own homes.

Let’s talk about resistance–what it looks like for different people, and getting through it. In this episode, we share some of our client experiences that started with resistance. We love witnessing their stories unfold and being there when they have their epiphanies because they are nothing short of inspiring. The best thing about these real client stories is that they are so relatable. After listening to this episode, we're certain you’ll relate to at least one of them. We are curious to know what ideas you have been resisting lately. Give it some thought, and you may realize that it’s exactly the thing that limits you from moving forward.

Mindset is the cornerstone of our Five Foundations of Health and we unpack how to keep moving forward in this interview with Terry Tucker.

Is The French Paradox true? Maybe not. Still, perhaps the French know something we don't about eating. In this short podcast, we discuss what Debbie learned about her trip to Paris and how we can adopt some of their cultural style, habits and ideas to have a richer experience when dining.

You've tried countless times to start and, more importantly, keep a new, healthy habit. Some have lasted a day, a week, a month. Others, maybe more. But, ultimately, you just can't seem to stick to what you promise yourself to. It's frustrating. Why does this happen? No will power? No support? Life got in the way? We've all been there. Habits can be hard to keep up. This, after all, is why we do what we do! To try to get people to adopt healthy habits that they keep forever and ever. Or, until they don't need them anymore. In this podcast, we share how we help our clients make and keep these habits (or let go of ones that they want to let go of). Listen and share! Below is the transcript.   Wendy Yeah, so many people get tripped up on starting new habits. And we have a couple of ideas to share with people that can really get them to shift their habits into gear. And we wanted to share them with you. Debbie That's right. This is Debbie.

If you’re approaching "middle-age," you may be a little confused and nervous about the idea of menopause. Most likely, this is because this time of life for women has long held negative connotations in our society, largely tied to stigmas of aging. However, the transition to menopause can be a time of reflection and inspiration. It’s a normal and natural part of a woman’s life, and it can be just as well lived as earlier stages. When it comes down to it, it has a lot to do with mindset. The menopause phase is a time of change and with that, it's also a time of choice. The mindset with which you approach this transition can have a huge impact on your experience of it. Of course, the symptoms and changes that come with this phase aren’t always avoidable, but how you experience it and the years that follow has much to do with your how you think about it and choose to behave. Those that choose to, see this time of life as a new beginning--one that can be lived vibrantly, fully, and in good health. We don't mean
