How to Detox When You Have Gut Issues
The key to lose weight is to detox your body...
You'll often hear me say that "you're not fat, you're toxic"... that's because toxins are harmful to your body. Your body protects itself from toxins by stuffing toxins into your fat cells...
The more toxic you are the bigger your fat cells get...
Detoxing is not a matter of taking herbs, doing cleanses or fasting...
You have to take into consideration other things that are specific to you...
Some people need alkaline cleansers...
Some people need acid cleansers...
Some people have to do specific cleanses for things like mold, heavy metals, parasites, wild yeast, etc.
The principles are the same, but the order in which you do things may have to change...
In this podcast we talk about a few different scenarios and practical tips that you can start with...

Improving digestion makes it easier to lose weight and get more energy
Food is supposed to give you energy...
If you can't digest food, then you won't be able to produce energy...
Your body's ability to burn fat and lose weight depends on your ability to get more energy...
That's why improving digestion makes this easier...
If you don't improve your digestion then over time you are likely to grow bad bacteria in your gut, which will then make it harder for your body to digest food turning this into a vicious cycle...

How sourcing local food makes it easier to lose weight and get more energy
Many people struggle to make sense of all the diets and weight loss strategies out there.
Count calories, go keto, eat this not that, more protein, less carbs, etc.
It's nauseating just to think about all the contradicting advice.
It is much much easier to get more energy and lose weight when you understand that what matters most is quality of food.
You can not out supplement a poor diet. The quality of food you eat makes all the difference between a good diet and a poor diet.
Knowing where your food comes from is the most important part of diet design.
If you buy your groceries at a convenience store, then the likelihood of it lacking nutrients is high.

How rest helps you lose weight and get more energy
People who struggle to lose weight seem to be the ones that are always on a diet, trying everything and anything...
Nothing seems to work for them...
Then there's others who don't try nearly as hard and yet they seem to get results almost effortlessly...
That's the power of rest...
When you subject your body to constant anything without taking a break you become blind to mistakes because you need to make time to reflect and improve...
Rest gives you that time to clear your mind and improve what you are doing...
In this podcast we share different ways that we use rest and how that helps you lose weight, get more energy and more!
Rest is not limited to diet and exercise. It's needed for other areas of life as well...

How to Stay Consistent with Your Diet
The word "diet" can have different meanings to people. For some, diet means to be strict about what you eat. For others it means to restrict what you eat.
Diet is really nothing more than your daily eating habits.
Most people default to the same foods consistently.
When people say "I struggle with consistency" with my diet, what they are saying is that they struggle with making changes to their diet. Their consistency with poor food choice is there. It's the change in eating habits that's hard.
Once you understand that consistency is not the problem, then you can shift your focus to making diet changes permanent. That's when you will feel you are being consistent with your diet.
