9: Is Menopause The Reason For My Weight Gain?
05/30/22 • 40 min
When we start to cut out major food groups like protein we can really start to swing our hormones and the processes in our body, when we start to cut out things like carbs, or fats, and most of my nutrition training was based on low calorie, low protein, low carbs, low fats. And after a couple years of doing that myself and coaching other people to do that, I realized that is the absolute equation for feeling like crap, just keeping your calories low. And in a deficit all the time, will make it very hard to have the energy that you need to just be a human being and deal with the things you need to in life.
That doesn't even include getting up and going after the things you really want. And having extra fun and energy to even hang out with your kids and all the things that we need energy fo.
We're living beings that have so many different processes going on. And if we're not getting the nutrition and the fuel we need for those things, we're going to feel like crap, the flag that your body's trying to throw up, there is a big signal, it's a big red flag, it's saying, we don't have enough and you are requiring more than we have energy in the tank for more than our battery will handle.
In this episode we are also talking about taking the horse by the reins, figuring out what you need to do to change your health. And go get your full panel of labs done so you know where you are at to begin with.
What is your energy like?
When you workout are you recovering well?
Do you feel sore all the time? Everybody loves being a little sore from a workout, you should not always be sore and you shouldn't be working out those same muscles when you're sore and you shouldn't be compounding energy expenditure on sore muscles, on lack of sleep, and on bad nutrition.
Eventually you're just gonna break down.

10: Is Alcohol Affecting Your Health? w/ Angela Smarrito
Angela shares how and why she got sober after years of fun partying and drinking and how amazing her life has been the last 3 years after making her decision. She had a weight loss of 30lbs and at 49, I can personally testify that she is aging in reverse, all of which she credits to sobriety.
We talk about her daily struggles with her addictive alter ego she named “The Red Guy” and how she managed to look like she had everything together in her life, while it was unraveling behind the scenes. From hiding vodka bottles in her dresser drawer for a morning hit to the lies she used to trick herself into not drinking, her story is truly inspirational.
She has been sober for 3 years now and is loving life. Check out her support group on Facebook called Past The Buzz.
