When her 7-year-old son told her he didn’t want to live anymore, Dr. Bevans made it her mission to get to the bottom of his behavior and mental health problems. Rebecca Bevans, PhD has a Masters degree in Child Development and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience. Her educational background gave her the insight to know that when her son said his brain was “buzzing,” something was wrong.

After behavioral therapy, discipline, and everything else she could think of wasn’t helping, she stumbled upon an article that linked food dyes to hyperactivity and similar symptoms her son had. Removing food dyes from his diet wasn’t easy. There are red, green, yellow, and blue dyes. Food marketed to kids is especially high in artificial dyes - think skittles, cereals, M&Ms. But other products like sunscreen, gum, and toothpaste had them, too.

Her son experienced severe withdrawal but slowly started to improve. After removing all artificial food dyes from her son and family’s diet, he no longer had behavioral problems and was able to heal physically and mentally. Her TEDx talk, The Effects Of Artificial Food Dyes, was so moving and I asked her to share her and her son’s story today on the podcast. 

Highlights From This Episode

• Dr. Bevans shares her son’s story on how artificial food dyes affected his health and behavior
• Why removing red 40 wasn’t enough and common foods that contain yellow, green, and blue dyes affected him, too. 
• What happened to Dr. Bevan’s son after food dyes were removed from his diet.
• Did his doctor’s say anything about artificial food dyes affecting behavior?
• What about the effects of added sugar on behavior?
• When behavioral modification and counseling isn’t working.
• How to know if your food has artificial food dyes.
• The best time to experiment with removing food dyes from a diet.
• How Dr. Bevans dealt with artificial food dyes at school. 
• Why the M&Ms are different in the US & Europe.
• Center for Science in the Public Interest - Food Dyes, A Rainbow of Risks PDF.

According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, 78 percent of children reported more than one traumatic experience before five years of age. (https://www.nctsn.org/) 

Unresolved childhood trauma often manifests in adulthood as multiple health problems, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a lack of direction. 

Trauma is a wide umbrella with some events being more obvious than others. Examples of trauma include the death of a loved one, rape, physical, mental, or emotional abuse, divorce, a breakup, bullying, natural disasters, accidents, war, and the list goes on. 

Traumas cause a loop in the brain to be formed that makes you feel unsafe. Without healing and “resetting” your brain’s thought waves, you could be caught in a subconscious fight, flight, or freeze situation. 

Don Wood, PhD, is the author of two top selling books, Emotional Concussions and You Must Be Out of Your Mind. He is the Founder & CEO of the Inspired Performance Institute, and creator of the patented TIPP method. 

TIPP is a cutting-edge method inspired and developed through the newest developments in neuroscience and designed to clear away the effects of disturbing or traumatic events, repurpose old patterns and set the individual’s mind up for peak performance. 

Dr. Don’s TIPP method helps reboot the brain’s stuck thought patterns. This makes it possible to stop chronic negative thought loops (AKA limbic loops), and not let the pain of past trauma continue to affect you today.

Highlights From This Episode

• What counts as “trauma” and how do we identify it in ourselves? 
• Resisting our traumas, and moving on. 
• How traumas manifest in later life. 
• How do you help people uncover the root of their trauma?
• Time Slice Theory: What it is and how it works. 
• How are trauma and physical health linked? 
• Addiction and how it can relate to food.
• Solutions to stop the sugar cravings loop.
• How long does it take to re-code your brain? 
• Practical tip to take into your own life.

The holidays are coming, and that means...sugar! And food pretty much everywhere. If you don't proactively make a plan to create healthy boundaries around sweets, your weight loss and health goals can get quickly derailed. This episode covers simple strategies to not eat all the Halloween candy.

Candy Alternatives

• Bubbles
• Glow sticks
• Mini play-dough
• Rubber stamps
• Stickers
• Small balls or bouncy balls Temporary tattoos Magnets
• Pencils
• Erasers
• Key chains
• Slap bracelets
• Activity or coloring books Small craft kits Bookmarks

Leftover Candy Ideas

• Throw it away.
• Donate to charity, including Treats for Troops, Operation Shoebox, local food pantries, Ronald McDonald house, or nursing homes.
•  Some dental offices also offer a “buyback program” where they will send leftover candy to charities. 
• Find a game, art, or science project for it. Search the internet for learning activities or science experiments with candy. 
• Enlist the “Switch Witch.” 
• Add it to holiday gifts. 

Strategies to Not Eat the Candy 

• Buy an alternative, or buy candy you don't like.
• Out of sight, out of mind.

Nearly 1 in 4 have fatty liver disease and 88% of adults are not metabolically healthy. This episode will explain why fatty liver disease is a direct result of excessive fructose. Fructose is found in sugary foods but can also be made in the body from high glycemic carbohydrates and alcohol. Excess fructose is the primary driver of poor metabolic health and liver insulin resistance.

In this week’s episode of the Reshape Your Health Podcast, I interview Dr. Richard Johnson, author of Nature Wants Us to Be Fat. He explains the link between fructose, fatty liver, and insulin resistance. We discuss how our biological fat storage process works and how to shut it off. You’ll learn dietary recommendations to lower fatty liver and insulin resistance. We also touch on central insulin resistance, how sugar affects the brain, and why Alzheimer’s is being called Type 3 Diabetes. This conversation was truly fascinating.

Dr. Richard Johnson is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver and has been a practicing physician and clinical scientist for over 25 years. He is internationally recognized for his seminal work on the role of sugar and its component fructose, in obesity and diabetes. His work has also suggested a fundamental role for uric acid (which is generated during fructose metabolism) in metabolic syndrome. He has previously authored The Sugar Fix with Timothy Gower in 2008, and The Fat Switch in 2012.


Highlights From This Episode

• What happens when the “survival switch” turns on and stores fat? 
• What foods turn the survival switch and liver insulin resistance on?
• The #1 food that causes non alcoholic fatty liver disease.
• Is whole fruit bad for liver health?
• What foods cause the production of fructose in your body?
• Alcohol’s effect on liver health is due to fructose. 
• AMP, IMP, and TMAO: How shellfish, processed meats, and beer can contribute to insulin resistance.
• Central insulin resistance and how sugar affects the brain.

In this episode, you'll learn the best question to ask yourself to stop procrastinating weight loss. Plus, you're invited to our Healthy Holidays Workshop!

Imagine how you could be more present at parties if you weren’t constantly feeling fat, or obsessing over the food that you want, but “can’t have.”

What if you didn’t even want the Halloween candy? 🤯

What would it feel like to stop after one just piece of pie at Thanksgiving, and be satisfied.

What if you didn’t overeat or emotionally eat at togethers?

What if when a coworker offered you a donut or cinnamon roll you simply said, “No thanks.” instead of giving in to the constant temptation and food peer pressure?

Wouldn’t it feel amazing to have self-control around sweets, and be able to have a little (if you choose) without feeling like you’re getting completely off track, or give yourself a mental beatdown?

All of this is possible. It’s taken me years to learn how to be healthy through the holidays, and if you join me for the Healthy Holidays Workshop you’ll get all my best strategies in less than 90 minutes.

You’ll leave feeling motivated to start the holiday season strong, without fearing food. Go to www.zivli.com to register today.

A lack of follow-through and overwhelm always stem from a limiting thought. This quick-tip episode stems from many conversations with clients and Zivli members about weight loss overwhelm and lack of follow-through. Consistency is the name of the better health game. Crash diets and yo-yo dieting do not work for long-term weight loss. Adopting healthy habits that keep insulin and inflammation low does.

In 2020, she self-published her first book, The Health Catalyst: How to Harness the Power of Ayurveda and Achieve Optimal Wellness.

Dr. David Prologo is a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. Dr. Prologo has spent more than twenty years specifically analyzing the phenomenon of diet attrition—why do diets always fail? More importantly, when they do fail, why do we blame the patients for that failure?

That journey led Dr. Prologo to perform first in human advanced interventional procedures to manage obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions. It further led to the identification of the catching point—a clear pivot point beyond which calorie restriction and exercise are easier for patients.

Many people think that if you can’t lose weight, there’s a willpower problem. Dr. Prologo explains why this theory is totally wrong. In this episode, Dr. Prologo dives deep into what stops people from losing weight and sustaining weight loss. Tune in as we talk about reaching critical exercise capacity, the importance of recovery, and how to start craving healthy foods.  

Highlights From This Episode

• The inspiration behind Dr. Prologo’s passion for helping people with weight loss.
• What's stopping you from losing weight? 
• Hunger signals are coming from the body to the brain.
• Healthier eating habits revolve around a critical exercise capacity.
• Why your chances of sustaining weight loss are less than 5%.
• Recovery is critical to change your body and become a different person.

There is a proven link between obesity and more severe cases of COVID-19 — inflammatory hormones and visceral belly fat. Dr. Ashley Lucas, founder of PHD Weight Loss, shares how to drop visceral belly fat for good. She shares why it's important to fully collapse this organ so that weight maintenance is easier. 

We also discuss personal carb thresholds, or your personal carb tolerance as it relates to your ability to lose weight. This was a fascinating interview.

• Why getting rid of excess visceral fat is critical to maintain your weight loss and prevent regain. 
• PHD Weight Loss Protocol including nutrition, behavioral, and emotional aspects. 
• Why obesity is linked to a more severe COVID-19 response due to the link between interleukin-6, cytokines, visceral fat, and COVID.

• How to determine your own personal carbohydrate threshold - why some people can eat more carbs and maintain their weight than others.

• Why visceral fat leads to more food cravings.
• Why losing the mental weight is vital to losing and keeping off physical weight.

Join Dr. Morgan Nolte and Dr. Ashley Lucas in this insightful conversation about overcoming weight loss plateaus. They dive into the different types of plateaus people experience, categorizing them into psychological/mental/emotional plateaus and metabolic/physical/physiological plateaus.

On the metabolic side, they explore the body's adaptation to diet and exercise, the consequences of chronic under-eating, muscle loss, and the subtle return of old habits. They emphasize the importance of self-reflection and self-accountability, along with building a resilient mindset to push through these physical barriers.

Throughout the conversation, they also highlight the need to address both physical and mental aspects to effectively break through weight loss plateaus. Changes in diet, stress levels, sleep patterns, and exercise routines can all play a role in hitting a plateau. The importance of hydration, food quality, and macronutrient balance are highlighted as crucial elements in overcoming these challenges.

In this episode, Dr. Diane Mueller covers the causes, symptoms, testing, and treatment of Lyme disease. Lyme disease is known as the great mimicker. If you have been diagnosed with irritable bowel disease (or IBS) there is likely an underlying condition causing those symptoms. 

The ones Dr. Mueller covers in this interview are Lyme disease, Mold disease, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). 

Do not settle on irritable bowel syndrome as a diagnosis. Taking medications to band-aid your symptoms does not address the root cause of your gut and health issues.
