    Navigating Shitstorms, With Liz Long

    Navigating Shitstorms, With Liz Long

    This is a super-interesting conversation about navigating shitstorms and overcoming victimhood with someone who has done exactly that - Liz Long.

    Liz Long spent over fifty years in Victimtown. After a close family member, Lynda White, went missing, six-year-old Liz was forced into a shitstorm of epic proportions. Five years later, Lynda’s body was found, and her case remains one of Canada’s longest unsolved murders. Having discovered her own path to healing, including inpatient treatment at a recovery centre, Liz is now dedicated to mental health advocacy and inspiring others by sharing her story.

    Everything You Need To Know About Nutrition And Mental Health, With Dr David Wiss

    Everything You Need To Know About Nutrition And Mental Health, With Dr David Wiss

    This was a very cool conversation with a kindred spirit, Dr David Wiss, where we do a deep dive into nutrition, especially as it pertains to mental health.

     David enrolled at California State University, Northridge where he earned a Master’s of Science in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science. This led to a dietetic internship at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center where he received specialized training on their eating disorders unit. This experience sparked a deep interest in the role of nutrition and the nutritionist profession as part of mental health recovery.

    David became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) in 2013 and founded Nutrition in Recovery, a group practice of RDNs specializing in the treatment of eating and substance use disorders.

    During this time, David developed a specialized nutrition curriculum that has been incorporated at more than fifty addiction treatment centers in Southern California and worldwide.In his nutritionist profession practice, David consults and develops nutrition protocols for clients in treatment. He also regularly conducts staff training for professionals and speaks at conferences on topics including disordered eating, gut health, and trauma-informed nutrition. In 2017, David received the “Excellence in Practice” award at the national Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo.

    Based on extensive clinical experience with clients in mental health recovery, he began collaborating with other experts in the field to publish book chapters and manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. In 2017, David matriculated at UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health in the Community Health Sciences department, with a minor in Health Psychology. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) in 2022 by investigating the links between adverse childhood experiences and various mental health outcomes among socially disadvantaged men.

    During his doctoral training, Dr. Wiss published multiple peer-reviewed manuscripts in the fields of food addiction, eating disorders, substance use disorders, depression, trauma, and childhood sexual abuse. These papers have been published in high-impact journals such as Appetite, the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Frontiers in Psychiatry, Public Health Nutrition, Nutrients, Eating and Weight Disorders, and others. In addition, as a health nutritionist, he has contributed multiple book chapters on topics such as binge eating and dietary restraint. Enclosed is a full link to his publications.

Edward’s podcast ,

Put the advice and knowledge into action and I’m noticing actions

So I have been trying to catch up to your current podcasts and I am 6 months deep and about 6 mor moths of podcasts to catch up.

I have noticed a change in my mentality and mood but taking advice on food and filing my body in better ways, and noticing changes in my weight and energy.

Some great stuff in these podcasts and I recommend to do your own experiments to see what will work for you, and you can start and try.

Prof Richard Johnson episode

A brilliant discussion, filled with fascinating insights and I’m going to listen again to take it all in. I love the way it ties all the theories of the causes of obesity together. Thank you Paul for a great interview.
