Eat (and Live) Smarter with Shawn Stevenson

On today's Life Question, Michael answers a question from someone who is struggling with connecting to the concept of what it means to "surrender all to God."   Next, Michael chats with Shawn Stevenson, nutritionist, author of the international bestselling books, "Sleep Smarter" and "Eat Smarter," and the creator of The Model Health Show, which is featured as the #1 Fitness & Nutrition podcast in the United States.  In this episode, Michael and Shawn discuss why body fat is not really the culprit it's been made out to be; the surprising way that our gut bacteria controls our body weight; and some specific foods that can positively alter our microbiome and influence fat loss.  Shawn also talks about the connection between food and our brains (including which foods and nutrients are clinically proven to have a direct impact on our memory and focus), our sleep, and our psychology—and more! He then ends with a brief guided meditation that embraces the energy and teachings of his interview.
