Gone Too Soon

For more details on this podcast visit: https://www.journeybeyondweightloss.com/blog/105 This week I got some sad news… news that actually impacts all of us in one way or another! I wanted to discuss this on the podcast, and I have had many meaningful conversations about this topic with patients in our clinic and with our Empowered Weight Loss members. It is something so important that discussing it could potentially help bring massive social change - making conversation an important tool for progress. Episode Highlights: (10:59) I just want our listeners to watch what the food industry is doing, just notice these things; notice their marketing tactics, notice who they're trying to attract to purchase their products, notice that you can't go to a movie without getting messages, that you should drink soda, and you should eat candy and popcorn. And notice that you can't watch the Super Bowl without celebrities like Ben and JLo trying to get you to purchase Dunkin' Donuts. (13:35) Many of you know people who already have diabetes and who have been struggling with diabetes. Many of you listening to this podcast may know somebody who's died from the effects of diabetes. So let's not let this continue to happen. Let's do something about it. Let's make sure that our children are eating whole foods, that we start our children at young ages, learning how to eat real food and not processed crap. Let's not let the food industry get our children addicted at such young ages to stuff that is really stimulating huge dopamine responses in their little brains!
