Episode 42: Breaking the Rules for a Well-Balanced Life with Heather Fuselier

Send us Fan MailOkay let’s talk about our not so favorite topic…what you eat and how you eat.  The truth is I dislike this topic as much as anyone else but, what I can’t deny are the statistics that obesity contributes to heart disease, diabetes, and cholesterol to name a few.It also impacts your quality of life.  I recently had some friends come back from a vacation that that they had waited years to take.  They enjoyed their trip but were so frustrated that they were limited to the things they could do.  Ziplining not an option due to weight limits. Hikes they could only do the easy ones due to knee and backpain and frankly just too out of shape to do anything more than 1.5 mile flat course. This limited the time they could spend exploring an area of the world they had waited years to see.You are not alone.  We all struggle, but another fad diet is not necessarily the ticket to success.  If we could better understand this, and have better health, feel good about how we look and along the way perhaps reduce medications and doctor visits in an expensive and complicated healthcare system.  Willing to give it a try? Hello everyone and welcome to the show Are You Hungry?
