I Was Dead Wrong

I really admire people who admit when they’re wrong. It’s humanizing, truthful and allows for growth, which is why I’ll take a moment to thank my Mom for raising me this way! In business school we call it “service recovery;” in life it is integrity. In my very first course at The Nutrition Network, a professor turned my thinking about how people become overweight on its head. The French have a wonderful way of saying this: il m’a bouleversé, which I think of like the cartoon character getting bull dozed. He explained that we’re overweight on the outside because we’re sick on the inside. And that “we eat too much because we’re getting fat.” The fact is, being overweight or obese is not due to lack of character, gluttony and laziness. It is due to metabolic disease caused by the quality (or lack there of) of the foods being consumed and often means that there are nutrient deficiencies present. (There are of course plenty of other factors, but this is key.) We are complex beings and there are a few hormones which especially drive hunger, satiety and fat storage. We get into these in the episode, as well as how you can start harmonizing with your hormones, ensure that you are not fat soluble vitamin deficient and find more information on nutrient density. Plus I outline my business and personal approach to how to recover from making mistakes. I’d like to thank Meghan Robidoux for her Amazon review of The Nourishment Mindset! If you’ve purchased and read the book, I would very much appreciate learning your feedback this way, which will help spread this metabolic mission of discovery vitality through real whole foods, straight talk, sound healing practices and pleasures of the table.
