63: Food Control Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

I continue with the question from episode 59 about what health issue you’d most like a magic pill for, and a lot of people said food issues. They’d want help enjoying healthier food. Help not wanting to eat so much. Help losing weight. What we kick off the show with is the stark reality that food is our number one drug. And we can’t quit it. It is so much more powerful and problematic than we understand. Truthfully this episode is possibly top of the list of importance regarding our quests for better health and wellness.

62: Diabetes Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

Guess what we’re talking about. Yes, diabetes. Or “diabeetus” as Wilford Brimley so famously said in the Liberty Mutual ads, and I sourced the audio from Youtuber odiosderp https://youtu.be/1eApR0PFP50 for my show intro. I have relatives with type 1 diabetes and an adopted child with prediabetes, so I’m not poking fun, but anything can deserve a little levity. Dr James and I hit this issue now affecting over half of America, starting with type one and the most prevalent, type two and pre diabetes. Around minute 13 we get into the relevance of a ketogenic diet, and around minute 30 we discuss how the average family pursuing health is still missing it and at risk. This is info that as an individual, and as a parent, I wish I’d known long ago, but am so grateful I do now.

61: Musculoskeletal Aches and Pains Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of the True Life Podcast we continue our series from the episode 59 question, “If you could have a magic pill to fix one health issue for yourself, what would it be?" Kent, Kristy, and Susie cited knee issues, while Tanya and Sheamus cited back issues. As with all maladies, musculoskeletal problems are on the rise. Anyone past the age of 30 is now prone to accept the norm of bodily aches and pains when they move. Younger and younger people have left physical activities they used to enjoy due to physical limitations and inability. Should this be normal? What is causing our cultural aches and pains? And what can help alleviate them? We give most of the show to causation and around minute 40 get into treatments! Surprisingly, your best prescription may be in regards to what you are eating!

60: Autoimmune Guidance Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

I threw the topic of autoimmune issues at Randy because we had multiple people cite it as the primary issue they deal with. While not the leading cause of death which I keep a pulse on, Randy shares it is the most costly of all maladies in America and is growing at an alarming rate. He shares what it is and how to go about dealing with it. For many of you this may be revealing that some of your issues may be attributed to autoimmune, and if you know you have it, you’ll find wise counsel here. At the end of the show Randy shares about his youngest son who has a significant autoimmune issue they have yet to resolve.

59: What Magic Health Pill Do You Want? Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

I asked our audience, “If you could have a magic pill to fix one health issue for yourself, what would it be?” I wanted to get a pulse on the primary ailments that even our relatively healthy audience is dealing with right now. It’s true that in some aspects of our life, we would all like a magic pill to alleviate a problem or give us the desire we want, as you’ll hear at the top of the show as I pose the question to Randy. I belies an area where we may feel out of control or fairly frustrated. We received so many responses. We grouped some together, but they were all so relevant we are going to go ahead and run a series to address all the issues we think affect so many of us. In this episode we address chronic headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, and allergies.

58: Angelo Poli | Speed Up Your Metabolism Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

More than two-thirds of Americans are overweight or actually obese. Angelo Poli has coached and trained over 20,000 people and cites that around 75% of those people just need to get on a healthy eating and exercise routine and stick to it. But for the rest, they have a metabolic issue and unless corrected, the weight will not come off and stay off. Angelo founded Metpro where he and his team specialize in this area by utilizing an algorithm based transformation engine.

Angelo and Metpro work with regular folks like us, but he’s well know for working with high-profile clientele that range from Olympic Athletes, NFL MVPs, physique models, and business leaders. I’ve worked with Angelo and his team for a long time so this was me introducing him and his research to Randy and as you’ll hear they get into the nuances of why we are having metabolic problems, how to figure out who does, and what to do about it. You’ll hear my story in this episode as well, as I’m one who had really slowed my metabolism down. For some of you who have trouble losing weight this could be revolutionary, as it was for me, and you may want to check Metpro out. If you visit metpro.co/ziglaryou can take their assessment and speak with a coach on their team for no cost or commitment, which I highly recommend!

Adi was 23 years old and as you’ll hear, bloated, constipated, and only going to the bathroom once per week. This is critical digestive illness. She started researching the colon and herbs and from it found healing agents in tea, from which she started a business, Teami Blends which is sold online and also across the country in stores like Target. But of course it’s not a stand alone magic bullet. She made other significant lifestyle changes and today seeks to help customers create a program that provides them optimal health.

In the latter part of the conversation I asked her and she provided, her top three list of what causes and helps alleviate digestive problems which may be the greatest benefit you get from this episode.

55: The Antidote To Today’s Increased Negativity Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

We are always exposed to negativity in our lives, it’s impossible to avoid. As of this recording at the end of 2020 I’m going to claim we are at an all time high. The covid pandemic, racial tensions, and presidential campaign offered volatile topics, and just about everyone in the country, if not the planet, is citing more anxiety, uncertainty, confusion and fear. Everyday we have more people spending more time on screens that pump out media more than ever, and as media is paid to get our attention, they know what gets it most is...negativity. Randy and I talked over what he is seeing with patients and how very real this issue is, and how we can minimize it...but in truth the bigger issue is combating it. Interestingly what we landed on was seeking ways to lift ourselves emotionally. I think you’ll find some tangible actions you can take from this show.

54: The Growing Gap Of Health In America Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

Is there a widening gap in our culture between those who adopt a healthy or unhealthy overall lifestyle? I asked my podcast audience, “During COVID have you gotten more or less healthy? Second question, do you feel those in your sphere (family, coworkers) have gotten more or less healthy?” We cover a good number of responses and find that of course our listeners are a healthier bunch in general and most cite they have gotten even healthier. But most also admit those around them have not. You’ll hear Dr Randy James affirming the reality of whatever tendency we’ve had, during the pandemic, it has increased. What does this mean for you? Depending on your social environment, it may be a slight pressure, or a lot, but it’s a reality we will all do well to be aware of.
