Are your friends and family losing weight, and you're not? Let's talk about why it's not working. A few of the top things that make it difficult to lose weight: • Past dieting • Insulin resistance • Doing the wrong type of diet • Not doing intermittent fasting (or not applying it correctly) • Not getting enough sleep • Existing health problems But there is a big thing that can affect weight loss that I've never talked about before: your genes. There are many different positive and negative things that can affect your genes. Within certain individuals, there are variations of genes that act differently. These variations can cause some people to burn fat fast and others to lose weight slowly. These genetic variations aren't errors. They're just things that happened within our genetics long ago that may have even been survival advantages but don't help us in our current environment. Weight loss tips for those who can't lose weight: 1. Give it more time 2. Be more strict with your carb intake 3. Fast for longer 4. Completely cut out sugar, get into a deep level of ketosis, and consume nutrient-dense foods 5. Add more tactical actions, which can include: • Getting more exercise (HIIT) • Consuming apple cider vinegar • Getting more sleep • Taking berberine • Taking cinnamon • Cutting out extra fat • Avoiding restaurants Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In each episode, Dr. Shaw draws on her intuitive gifts as well as her formal training in psychology and counseling to tap into the deeper wisdom of life and supports listeners in reaching their highest personal and spiritual potentials. Lynne's Podcast Lynne August MD Dr. A offers her interpretations and applications of Dr. Revici’s profound research at DrRevici.com and the Revici Journal. Dr. Revici was arguably fifty to one hundred years ahead of his time in his application of quantum physics to medical sciences. As a once-aspiring physicist, this alone propelled Dr. A to Dr. Revici. As a physician, she felt compelled, and in some palpable way responsible, to understand Dr. Revici’s ability to control pain and achieve remissions in terminal cancer patients with his non-toxic “guided chemotherapy”, even many cancers that conventional therapy failed to control. Most of the time his questions and solutions were as unprecedented as they were effective. While Dr. Revici was primarily focused on cancer, Dr. A’s research and therapeutics to prevent and treat all chronic and degenerative disease can transform 21st century medicine.
