Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link. How do you address wealth gain and/or obesity issues in your family without making everyone feel like they’re someone that needs to be fixed? As we celebrate National Pediatric Obesity Awareness Month this September, it is of much relevance that we talk about the issue of obesity, especially as the numbers rise to their highest at present. More often than not, we tend to unconsciously project our own wounds on our children, which usually leads to a negative approach to building a healthy relationship with them and food. So in this episode, Dr. Adrienne aims to help you get your head in the right place so you can help yourself, your children, and your family as a whole in a way that is empowering them towards change. In this episode, Dr. Adrienne does a follow-up on last week’s episode to share tools and strategies you can use as you have conversations in your family around the topic of obesity. What you will learn from this episode: ● Learn tips/strategies on how to avoid having a negative mindset and behavior as you and your family work towards creating positive health and wellbeing at home; ● Understand why you should be mindful of your own insecurities, wounds, and actions as you approach your children in addressing weight and/or obesity issues; and ● Find out why you should see the issue and the act of addressing it as a process, something that takes time, and not as something that needs to be fixed “Manage your expectations. Don't expect this thing to be fixed right away. It's not a thing to be fixed; it is a process that you need to engage in as a family.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim “Eat as much of the good stuff so that there's less room, less desire for the things that don't serve you.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim How We Can Support Adrienne—and Each Other Our community’s love and presence are powerful.

| 94. Childhood Obesity: Parental Intervention without All the Food and Body Drama with Wendy Schofer | 12 Sep 2022 | 00:00:44 | |
Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link. September is National Childhood Obesity month, and a perfect time to have this week's guest, Dr. Wendy Sofer. She's a pediatrician and a certified health and wellbeing coach. And she's the founder of Family and Focus, a program she created for parents who are worried about weight at home, their weight, and their kid's weight as well. She helps them shift the focus of the scale to create healthier relationships with the food body, and with the whole family. Again, this work could not be more important now as childhood obesity rates have dramatically risen in the last several years. I discussed in a prior podcast about the change in weight in our kids during the pandemic, the statistics show that 19% of our children ages two through 19 were considered to have excess weight in August of 2019. And that went up toy 22.4% one year later. And of course, this is associated with metabolic consequences like type two diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol in our children, as well as psychosocial complications like depression. So tune into my conversation now with Dr. Wendy for a shift in the narrative around her children's weight, and a focus on lifelong health and well-being that will serve you and your family.
“Kids push back [healthy eating habits] and sneak things, into their rooms because they're afraid of losing it. Because so much of the messaging has been about removing [and restricting] food and nobody wants to have things taken away from them.” - Dr. Wendy Sofer Tips To Help Your Kids Develop a Healthy Relationship With Food

Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link. Even when topics of obesity, nutrition, and food always show up in the news, still, for some reason, these topics are often misrepresented. In this episode, Dr. Adrienne starts a new segment to review recent news about obesity, food, and nutrition. Here, she talks about a) the new FDA-approved medication for diabetes called tirzepatide which also has a positive impact on weight loss, b) pandemic weight gain, how it still affects us now, and what we can do about it, and c) the work that the Women’s Preventive Services Initiative does, especially on the prevention of weight gain in midlife for women. What you will learn from this episode: ● Find out how the new medication for diabetes called tirzepatide helps not only in the treatment of type 2 diabetes but also in weight loss; ● Recognize that there is a true and clear physiological link between stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions and excess weight, which have greatly contributed to the increase in cases of weight gain during the pandemic; and ● Understand why women in midlife should start seeking counseling and guidance directed towards weight gain “Let's not wait until we have gained weight or excessive weight in order to seek counseling and guidance to make the change. This is really important because prevention is key.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim Valuable Free Resource: Look at your weight as a data point. Just like blood pressure; just like temperature and heart rate. ● Don't have judgment about it. ● Don't use it as a character assassination. ● Instead, use that number in an actionable way, not to judge ourselves, not to discriminate against ourselves, but to use it as a tool towards motivating behavior change and greater health. If you are a woman who is currently in your 40s to 60s, start seeking counseling, screening, and preventive services directed towards weight gain now. ● A little tip: food, movement, and sleep – all three of these are critical to maintaining healthy weight in the midlife.

Whether we admit it or not, even when we’re trying to get serious with our diet, there are times when we fall into the trap of foods that are just so mouthwatering for us to handle. On the other hand, we might also be getting so busy these days, trying to make a living in the midst of this pandemic, that we’re now starting to get used to skipping meals. We want to lose weight. We want weight gain. However, our practices sometimes take us far from success.

“If skipping meals works, you would think that, “Well, I'm only eating one meal a day. And so, isn't that ‘saving calories’?” The answer is absolutely no. Because in that one meal, you can totally eat past your hunger and accumulate way more calories than you otherwise would if you had eaten throughout the day.” – Adrienne Youdim “Good fats are good, but they are fats. Be wary of fake healthy food and also be mindful of the healthy food. Portion size matters.” – Adrienne Youdim “Remember, protein is your most satiating or most filling macronutrient. So, if you're going to compare protein, carbohydrates, and fats, protein is going to be the nutrient that is most filling and it is the nutrient that's going to give you the most staying power.” – Adrienne Youdim

Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link. Shifting from a past you want to get better from isn’t one-click magic that will happen in just a blink of an eye. However, whether we admit it or not, we tend to bully ourselves to change most of the time, thinking that seeing ourselves in a negative manner will push us harder and faster towards what we want in life. But let me tell you now; you’ve been doing it all wrong if that’s where you’re at. It takes time. There’s the need to de-identify. It might even lead you to ask a lot of why’s. No matter how hard you try, if your actions are coming only from the fear you have inside, you’ll only get stuck. Join us as we discuss the importance of self-love and compassion in this episode with Atoosa Rubenstein. Atoosa Rubenstein is the former Editor in Chief of Seventeen Magazine and is also Founder and Editor in Chief of CosmoGirl, two of the most loved magazines during its active years.

Here, she talks about her story as she reminds people that fear-based thinking isn’t the right way to go when dealing with positive change. What you will learn from this episode:
Key Takeaways: “Self-love and compassion have to be the soundtrack. You cannot do it because you feel embarrassed. You can't do it because you think you're a loser. You can't do it because you're worried you'll lose your husband or boyfriend or never find one. You have to do it because you deserve to be happy and you deserve all good things. It has to come from that place of love.” – Atoosa Rubenstein “Just How We Can Support Adrienne—and Each Other Our community’s love and presence are powerful.

| 61. Sizzle Your Fizzle: Routine as the Key to Your Best Self in 2022 with Dr. Adrienne Youdim | 10 Jan 2022 | 00:12:37 | |
Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link. Keeping a routine isn’t as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, we’ll lose motivation and the tempting feeling of giving up will arise. We’ll feel as if things aren’t going the way we want them to be. Time will come that we’ll have thoughts of doubt, questioning if what we’re doing is the right path to take in order for us to be healthy and happy. Nevertheless, we should keep in mind that a routine is one of the most fruitful investments one could have in life. Join us as we talk about its importance in today’s podcast.
“Creating a routine is done so that when your motivation naturally ebbs and flows – because again, it will – you are prepared and you're not vulnerable to the effects of that.” – Adrienne Youdim “We are, by nature, committed to the end results, not to the journey. If we don't have a routine, this fact will undermine us. Create a routine so that you are committed to the process, committed to the journey, and not the outcome.” – Adrienne Youdim “Create a routine so that you avoid decision fatigue. You preserve your energy, and therefore, you preserve your power.” – Adrienne Youdim

Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link. What is this year’s version of your New Year’s resolution as we step on a fresh start in 2022? Is it something that concerns your health?

Listen and be effective as we welcome this year with a new episode of Health Bite.
“When you try to do too much at once, you are setting yourself up for failure. Remind yourself that small steps amount to big change. Start small and be consistent because that is far more important than being big and fast because big flames fizzle.” – Adrienne Youdim “It is not so much that “slip up” that matters; it is the moment after.” – Adrienne Youdim “Be kind to yourself. It's much nicer and it's much more effective.” – Adrienne Youdim

Wherever you go, wherever you look, people are battling to survive this challenge consisting of continuously evolving variants. Trying to find joy and live life in contentment is something that has become so hard. Nevertheless, it is a vital step towards survival that we remind ourselves of our capability to be resilient – to win against life’s hurdles that have been trying to stop us on our way to our betterment. Join us today as we share our last episode for this year! In this episode, Dr. Adrienne talks about the sentiments around the occurrence of toxic positivity culture nowadays as she shares insights in relation to control and mastery to remind us that we have the power of being resilient.
“Control gives us the notion that we can minimize uncertainty, but of course, it is an illusion. Most of what we value – our health, our relationships, financial security, disease, natural disasters, economic downturn, world events, global pandemics – is subject to uncertainty. Even the most resourceful people among us deal with adversity and uncertainty.” – Adrienne Youdim “Stay resilient this holiday season. Find joy where it exists and allow yourself space where it is not. Be kind to yourself and be kind to those around you, because certainly, this is a collective experience – a global experience – and we can all use and appreciate each other's ki How We Can Support Adrienne—and Each Other Our community’s love and presence are powerful.

Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link. Food is in a direct relationship with the traditions and connections we have in our lives, especially during this time of the year – the successive holidays! It is with no doubt that there is pleasure in satisfying real hunger; however, there are cases that some people fall into the mouth-watering temptation possessed by the sweets, meat, and everything else on the table that they tend to just eat and eat and eat, while others tend to miss the enjoyment of the occasion because they overly think about ‘healthy eating’. How do we balance the sanctity of the occasion with the sanctity of our bodies and of our own well-being? How do we reconcile with that and finally live the life of our dreams? Join us as we talk about food and tradition in today’s episode of Health Bite!
“Prayer – whether it’s just gratitude or religious practice – evokes a sense of mindfulness, presence, savoring, and therefore, enjoyment for our meal.” – Adrienne Youdim “Our traditions are really in line with health practices. The intersection between our religious laws, cultural traditions, and science is a testament to the importance of these simple practices as a guide to better health and wellbeing.” – Adrienne Youdim “We can honor our traditions while also honoring our desire to be well.“ – Adrienne Youdim It is a great way of understanding why people struggle with their weight every day due to the lack of desire to eat certain things they enjoy eating as well as other factors such as stress levels, which affect the production of ghrelin hormone (the "I'm hungry" hormone).
