What Paleo Does Wrong... and Right! | Jun 06, 2018

Show notes

The premise of the popular Paleo diet is that if we would mimic the eating habits of our paleolithic predecessors, we would be healthier, less obese, and avoid ailments both big and small including conditions like anxiety, asthma, certain cancers, depression, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, and osteoporosis. Today's guest, Daniel Lieberman has studied extensively the habits of our ancestors. He's a Harvard evolutionary biologist who has focused his research on the human body and how it has evolved over millions of years. His book, The Story Of The Human Body: Evolution, Health and Disease, examines the increasing disparity between the needs of our Stone Age bodies and the realities of the modern world. So even though we're living longer, we're living with chronic disease.

Meditate with Kathy!

Any success in life starts with a goal. It could be losing weight, making more money, or quitting a sugar addiction. No matter how large or minute, goals give us purpose. And, like a GPS, they keep us going the right way.

Sometimes we simply can't see our future the way we should and our negative mental images get in the way of our own happiness. That's where meditation comes in.

Join Kathy as she leads you through a meditation process that will help motivate you towards the future you want.

The Truth About Belly Fat | Dr. Sara Gottfried Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Belly fat is a topic that so many people are concerned about - mainly for cosmetic reasons. However, we know that having extra weight — especially around the belly — can be risky. It's one of the main indicators that the body is shifting out of balance, and veering into some unhealthy territory. Now, here's the rub: belly fat cells contain four times more cortisol receptors compared with other cells. In other words, every time you raise cortisol levels, you just feed that muffin top and start to create a barrier that stops you from burning fat. So, if you've been asking yourself why it's so freaking hard to manage belly fat, then you're going to want to hear today's guest: Dr. Sara Gottfried. Dr. Sara Gottfried is a New York Times bestselling author. In her newest book, Younger, she created a protocol that can help you gain more control over the way you age than you ever thought possible. It's a simple matter of turning the good genes on, and the bad genes off. For more, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.
