Lasting Weight Loss After 50 Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

Dr. Deb Butler utilizes a blend of brain science, nutrition, physiology, life coaching and life lessons, teaching REAL weight loss — lasting weight loss — starts from the inside out. Inside your BRAIN.

At 50 years old, when she started her latest round of dieting at Weight Watchers (so she could lose the same 30 pounds for the 100th time), she had one big NEW problem... the weight wasn’t coming off like it used to. She was depressed and not sleeping. Her doctor said, “Welcome to menopause.”

She KNEW there had to be a better way. Connect with Dr. Deb Butler at her podcast, Thinner Peace in Menopause and Beyond, drdebbutler.com/podcast

Dr. Butler’s special offer for Flipping 50 listeners is a 30-minute:

Favorite Quotes from this episode:

“we love depending on things outside ourselves for information about ourselves”

Are you counting calories, points, and steps in hopes of lasting weight loss? Then comparing them to some superficial bar? You’ll want to listen to our discussion of where the real answers for lasting weight loss are.

“we think….”

Do you have beliefs about lasting weight loss that you’ve had for so long that you’ve come to think of them as truths? What if you doubted those thoughts and reconsidered?

“We realize what works for us and what doesn’t work for us”

Why is now the perfect time to focus on you and finally have lasting weight loss? You’ve collected data for decades. Shouldn’t it be worth something?

“we have to be fed up”

Lasting weight loss happens. But you have to be ready for change. You have to be more uncomfortable where you are than going through the discomfort of change.

“The sooner you connect into your body…”

Are you avoiding mirrors, buying clothes so you fade into the background waiting until you have lasting weight loss? Instead of disconnecting and disowning what if you stepped into it and all the emotions that come with it right now?

How to Build a Better Brain and Stop Brain Drain Dec 05, 2017

Show notes

Bestselling author Dr. Steven Masley shares tips about what to do and what to avoid to prevent memory loss, and improve concentration and brain function. His newest book The Better Brain Solution comes out in January and he's here to talk about his recommendations for supplements, food, activity and more.

It's not just genetics. There's plenty that you can control. Maybe you have started to misplace your keys more frequently. Or you often mix up names of acquaintances. You may enter rooms and immediately forget why. Or perhaps you worry about more serious memory loss in yourself or a loved one.

Maybe you blame these symptoms on the “natural” aging process. Or maybe you chalk it up to being busy and stressed at work.

But the truth is, none of these are “natural” or “normal.”

Take the Better Brain Quiz

This quiz was developed by my friend Dr. Steven Masley – leading physician, nutritionist, trained chef, author, and creator of the #1 health program for Public Television. It’s an easy and quick tool to help you determine how serious your symptoms are, and it will provide personal insight into how your brain is functioning.

5 Supplements recommended by Dr. Steven Masley for a Better Brain:

Omega 3 through diet or supplements

DHA + EPA combined 1000/mg daily

Vitamin D 2000 – 5000/day depending on your needs
B12 100 mgm- 500 mgm
Magnesium – at least 400 mg.

best options glycinate, malate, chelat, theronate (avoid oxide)

Probiotic – 10-12 different types, if you’ve taken an antibiotic recently that wipes them out 25-55 billion a day for months to rebuild them, dietary solutions can include yogurt or kefir if you tolerate dairy and aren’t avoiding it, komboucha, miso, kimchi, and sauerkraut.

What foods can boost your brain?

Eating just 1 cup of greens a day makes a brain 11 yeas younger than not eating those greens.

Your brain by weight is 40% fish oil and 60% fat. So, avoiding fat will shrink your brain.

Inactivity>elevated blood sugar, depression, cardiovascular risk factors…all influence brain health but the pivotal component is inactivity.

Carbs with pigment and fiber for good brain health and gut health.

Ironman Dexter Yeats About Being 72, Unstoppable, and Unique Nov 28, 2017

Show notes

Dexter isn't a typical name for a woman who's 72. Then again, Dexter Yeats isn't a typical 72-year old and probably hasn't been typical ever. That, is probably a good thing. She shares about training, recovery, and a little about life.

Older, Faster, Stronger Author talks about aging better Nov 23, 2017

Show notes

Margaret Webb, author of Older, Faster, Stronger about her super fit year when she turned 50 in 2014. As she did throughout the book, she shares the hope-inspiring research, both personal and published. Learn more about running and aging, and it’s worth the listen even if running isn’t your activity. Exercise of all kinds offer similar benefits Margaret and I dish about in this episode.

Just a few of the benefits of running mentioned in Margaret’s book and our chat:

Mitochondra, your energy powerhouse, once thought to decrease in production naturally with age now we know can remain as young as a 20 year old’s with the right training.

Telemeres, markers of aging, are longer in runners. That means the longevity of most runners is better. Living longer, healthier, is the goal.

Knees of runners, contrary to popular belief, are often better than those who don’t run – and who carry more weight.

Brain function, including memory, appears to improve with exercise and be optimal compared to non-exercisers.

Confidence, you’ve heard here before is the real thing that gets you hooked. Getting sweaty, looking better in your jeans, those are nice, but the empowered feeling you have is what will keep you doing it.

If you’re wondering if it’s too late, tune into this episode. Women who began at 50 or older are experiencing amazing results and living life fully mentally and physically. If you can’t run or it’s not your thing, listen anyway! This is not only about running.

Margaret Webb has written a great book where she serves as the guinea pig, making it very personal. Then she weaves research thickly throughout every page in a reader-friendly way. Then at the end she has conversations with some of the movers and shakers in women’s running about their own journeys and their contribution to women’s health. It’s a must read.

Special thanks to Margaret for her words of encouragement and coaching at the end of our talk.

Bone Density & Osteoporosis Prevention Supplement Safety Nov 07, 2017

Show notes

Bone health and osteoporosis should be on everyone’s mind. As we age better and longer, bone health requires some specific attention. It’s not just about getting exercise, calcium, or even lifting weights. It’s in the how, what, and when that you observe lifestyle habits that make you more or less vulnerable to bone loss. My guest today is Teri Cochrane.

Teri received her Bachelors of Science from the University of Florida, she is a graduate of the Huntington College of Health Sciences, The National Institute of Nutritional Education, the National Leadership Institute, and the Upledger Institute. Teri is a Certified Nutritionist and a member of the International Association of Healthcare Practitioners and National Association of Nutrition Professionals. She also has certifications and extensive experience in holistic medicinal practices.

Teri reinforces myth busting in alignment with Flipping 50. Bless her heart! There’s no if this, then that rule that says if you’re a certain age, then you can expect this! If there is… you can start changing your expectations and get different results.

If you’re currently supplementing or considering supplementing for bone density you’ll want to listen to this episode. Remember that with supplements there is always the balance of pros and cons. You want to look not only at what you eat or take, but also how well it’s absorbed. What is the bioavailability of the foods and nutrients you ingest?

Teri shares the biggest secret of all. Don’t miss it. It wasn’t about the risk of bone density supplements that are being used today. It wasn’t about the new one and research on it that she and I discussed.

The biggest truth Teri shares is that we need:

to become more aware of what we don’t know
and then do something about it when we know it
