Episode 30 -Laurie Lewis Feeling Vibrant After 50 -Its Possible !! Dec 20, 2020

Show notes

For Intermittent Fasting Coach and Author, Laurie Lewis, menopause dealt a crushing blow -- brain fog, off-balance, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better, and the methods that worked in the past made no difference.

After four years of struggle, she stumbled upon a video on Intermittent Fasting and Laurie started eating in a pattern of time that very same day. In less than a week the menopausal fog lifted and she felt more “like herself.” Laurie has restored her health, slender weight, and at 57-years old has turned her personal success into a thriving Intermittent Fasting coaching business.

With group programs and 1:1 personal coaching sessions, Laurie is recognized as THE Intermittent Fasting coach, having changed thousands of lives around the world. (Truly… around the world… England, Scotland, France, Germany, Ukraine, Japan, US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia!)

Laurie’s desire to share her healing process led her to write an Intermittent Fasting workbook. Published this year on March 8th, International Women’s Day, it is the gift of hope, inspiration, and encouragement that every woman needs.

“Celebrating Your Vibrant Future: Intermittent Fasting for Women 44 to Forever.

She combines a no-nonsense coaching approach with her keen listening and authentic caring. One thing you’ll know for sure about Laurie is she’s always your biggest champion and celebrating YOU.

Episode 29 Justin Claypool His 175 pounds - 79 Kgs weight loss journey and finding some incredible health benefits Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

Justin Claypool grew up in southern Oregon, and now lives in Clarkston, Washington in the USA. He is thirty years of age.

Throughout his late teens and early 20's, he shares that he really packed on weight and ended up being close to 181 Kg (400 lbs). He started his health journey in 2017 by committing to do a dietary reset program designed to help identify food intolerances called the whole30.

At that point, he bought a scale, moved from Oregon and began living a healthier lifestyle with a more active job. Over the next two years he used the weight loss program in an unintended manner and got into a vicious yo-yo weight cycle.

The health benefits and non-scale victories Justin talks about in this podcast are truly incredible. A young man who has taken his health back at an early age, overcoming morbid obesity. He is a role model for any young person looking to take their health back.

Episode 28 Lisa Glick Ultra Runner with Bi Polar talks about intermittent fasting along with the ketogenic diet Dec 13, 2020

Show notes

Lisa is a retired vocal music educator and a professional musician. She is also a fitness enthusiast and is a long-distance runner and an avid hiker.

Lisa Glick started struggling with an eating disorder at age 14. She went from borderline anorexia getting down to 45 kilos (100 pounds) at 5'3" in high school to weighing 72 kilos (160 pounds) by the time she left college some years later. Years of fluctuating weight loss and gains followed. She managed to hover around 58 kilos (130 pounds) by severe diet restrictions and exercise. Fear of food was always an issue for Lisa.

After suffering for years with bouts of depression, Lisa was finally diagnosed at age 32 with bi-polar disorder. After a long, uneven road to recovery she realised that the eating disorder was a result of years of depression.

In 2016 Lisa found keto which then led to intermittent fasting. Lisa considers herself a recovered food addict and in remission. She is vigilant about her wellness. Her tools include running, hiking, dancing, singing, community service, eating whole foods and practicing gratitude always. Of course, she includes intermittent fasting in her impressive tool kit.

Show notes

Tracey Dixon- Neale is from Onewhero in the Waikato region in the North island of New Zealand. in this episode she bravely shares her journey with us. At the age of 11 Tracey was sexually assaulted by a trusted family friend. In the years that followed she turned to food for comfort and gained weight for reasons she explains.

Tracey took a diet pill medication’ at her mothers’ suggestion because of her weight which put her on a pathway to a Methamphetamine addiction. After a few years, she lost everything, except her boyfriend and hit rock bottom. Tracey started to turn her life around with her loving partner and things started to get a little better. She married and is the proud mum of four beautiful children.

Tracey was shocked into doing something about her weight (115kg or 253 pounds) at a doctors’ visit earlier this year and, at his suggestion began intermittent fasting. She found early success and has lost an incredible 23kg (50 pounds) in six months.

I would like to recognise Tracey’s incredible courage for sharing with us her harrowing story and the adversity she has faced. This is a truly inspiring story of a person who has completely turned their life around in so many ways
