    09 - Food Freedom

    In this episode I go over what "food freedom" is and how it could be a great alternative to the normal "diet" culture which perpetually has people hating food and turning it into a chore instead of being able to live your life and enjoy it.  Food is not the enemy, we should enjoy eating and not feel the guilt that we are eating unhealthy when everything can be eaten with moderation.  I will link a few articles I found from my research below, feel free to send me more as I will be digging deeper into this topic in the near future. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-food-freedom-getting-started-weight-loss-and-tips#bottom-line https://www.intuitiveeating.org/10-principles-of-intuitive-eating/ https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/8-steps-to-mindful-eating https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/15-incredibly-filling-foods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-ibb0lMX1Q Intro Music: https://snapmuse.com/track/loose-change Outro Music: https://snapmuse.com/track/rastafari

    06 - Interview with Ellis Valdez

    Ellis Valdez was willing to sit down and chat with me about his weight loss journey and how its impacted his daily life.  I will give you a quick overview of the episode in Ellis's own words: I had a duodenal switch procedure performed on October 16, 2020. On the day of my surgery, I weighed in at 338 lbs. As of January 18, 2022, I weigh 191 lbs, for a total of 147 lbs lost. At my heaviest, I weighed 348 lbs, but I was likely 350+ for a few years. I avoided the scale a lot those days. A duodenal switch is basically a gastric sleeve coupled with a rerouting of the small intestines. Roughly 75-80% of my stomach was removed, then my small intestines were shortened and reconnected closer to my colon.

    This episode I go over the definition of what a healthy lifestyle means, trying to demystify it that you have to look a certain way to be healthy.  Everyone's healthy lifestyle is different, that's what makes us all unique.  Links:  https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095926845  Intro Music: https://snapmuse.com/track/loose-change  Outro Music: https://snapmuse.com/track/rastafari
