Considering Ozempic or other weight loss shots? You are not alone, a lot of women are!

In this conversation, Brit gives tips on how to ensure safe and effective fat loss if shots are a route you are considering.

As always, consult with your doctor, this is not medical advice.

In this episode, I talk about common mistakes I hear women make around eating healthy vs. eating for fat loss. You can eat healthy food but that food might not be right for fat loss.

Here are some of my major take-aways from this episode: Splitting daily walks into two sessions can help achieve fitness goals Understanding the nutritional value of food is crucial for making informed choices. Not all 'healthy' foods are suitable for fat loss goals. Weighing food can help with portion control and accuracy Seeking professional guidance can provide customized support for achieving health goals.

In this episode, Lori Lisai, a human design mentor, discusses the basics of human design and the different types. She explains how human design can help individuals better understand themselves and live in alignment with their energy.

Lori also provides insights on how human design can be applied in parenting and career guidance. She emphasizes the importance of honoring individual energy types and making decisions based on one's unique authority.

Overall, human design offers a holistic approach to self-discovery and personal growth. In this conversation, Lori explains the different types of authorities in Human Design and how they relate to decision-making. She emphasizes the importance of building a relationship with your gut and being comfortable in your body. The challenges of feeling safe in your body and the role of trauma are also discussed.

I'm sharing my journey with alcohol and how and why I've been cutting back recently and how it's making me feel. I'm sleeping better, my skin looks better and it's helped with weightloss!

Take aways:

• Cutting back on drinking can have significant health benefits, including improved sleep, weight loss, and reduced risk of diseases like Alzheimer's.
• Not drinking does not mean feeling restricted or missing out on social experiences. There are many alternatives, such as mocktails, that can be enjoyed in social settings.
• Changing the mindset around drinking and not putting oneself in a box can help reduce the pressure and make it easier to cut back.
• The trend of not drinking is growing, and more people are becoming interested in exploring a sober or sober-curious lifestyle.
• It's important to understand and respect others' choices regarding drinking, as everyone is on their own journey.

What would you say is the answer to that question? It can be so many things from overusing our smartphones, to stress over politics and what's happening in the world that is out of our control.

In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Hester, also known as Dr. J, discusses various wellness topics, including anti-aging, stress management, and the differences between men and women when it comes to health approaches. He emphasizes the importance of preventative health and the five core tenets of health: water and electrolyte balance, exercise and resistance training, protein intake and nutrition, relationships, sleep and rest.
