    Ep 188: What is the Secret Behind Exercise and Weight Loss? Part 2

    Embracing Movement for Wellness: Beyond the Myths This episode of the 'One Small Bite' podcast, hosted by David Orozco, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, delves into the misconceptions surrounding exercise, movement, and their impact on health and weight loss. David revisits the conversation with intern Dianna Thomas, an expert in movement and weight loss, focusing on personal experiences with diet culture and the importance of incorporating a weight-inclusive approach to helping clients enhance their health and wellness.  They debunk the myth of needing to engage in excessive exercise for health, discussing the signs of overtraining and emphasizing the benefits of integrating small, consistent movements into daily life for overall well-being. The episode highlights studies that question the rigid benchmarks of physical activity, like the 10,000-steps-a-day goal, advocating instead for enjoyable and sustainable forms of movement.  David's approach—centered on curiosity, compassion, commitment, and consistency—encourages listeners to explore movement beyond conventional exercise, aiming for a healthy balance that fosters both physical and mental health for a long and nourished life One Small Bite at time!  00:00 Welcome and Special Offer for Listeners 01:15 Introducing the One Small Bites Show 02:01 Diving into Movement and Weight Loss: Part Two 02:35 Personal Stories and Debunking Diet Myths 05:11 Understanding Overtraining and Its Effects 14:44 The Mental and Physical Toll of Excessive Exercise 19:41 Addressing Gym Intimidation and Promoting Inclusive Movement 28:43 Differentiating Between Movement and Exercise 32:08 Redefining Exercise: Beyond the Numbers 33:25 Debunking the 10k Steps Myth: A Deep Dive 34:30 The Impact of Movement on Longevity 35:01 Study Insights: Steps, Intensity, and Mortality 38:08 Challenges and Limitations of Fitness Tracking 40:36 Personalizing Fitness: Lulu's Journey 50:24 The Philosophy of Small Steps to Health

She was motivated and I remember she told me she had the "willpower" to stick with it this time. However, when she started working with me she discovered the secrete to exercise and movement. What she discovered will change your view on fitness.  Listen in today as we discuss...

    Omega-3s can be a beneficial part of someone's diet, but unfortunately our oceans are being over fished to the point of depletion. What if we had an alternative to those fish oil Omega-3s? What if we could get a renewable and plant-based source of Omega-3s that can be just as healthy for us as the famous EPA and DHA omega-3s we get from fish?  Well, we can.!  Listen in today to part two on my discussion on Fats, where I'll cover... Types of omega-3sHow Omega-3s are beneficial for our healthNew plant-based alternative sources of Omega-3sThe unfortunate over fishing of our oceansA meal plan for the day with health FatsLooking forward to having you join in today!

    Ep 185: The Skinny on Fat and Alternatives to Omega-3s - Part 1

    Something so common in the nutrition and health world is this idea of the magic bullet nutrient. Fats in food used to be that magic bullet for me. I used to think that if people could just get higher amounts of monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids in their diet, things would be so much better. They’d be able to enjoy food, feel satiated more often, and not overeat.  Boy was this thinking flawed!  In this episode, I break down the skinny on fats in our diets. What they are, where they come from, and what to pay attention to. Listen in as I go through the four main groups of fats - Saturated, Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated, and Trans Fatty Acids. And then in my next episode I’ll discuss Omega-3s and some alternatives to Omega-3s that can help us enjoy a longer, more nourished life.    I’m excited for this one. This episode is packed with great information about the types of fats that are helpful, and what to look out for in the ones that aren’t. Come and join me in this two part series on the skinny on fats.

    Ep 183: What Everyone Ought to Know About Supplements - Part 1

    When people tell me supplements are safe because they’re natural, I often tell them that poison ivy is also natural, but you wouldn’t be rubbing it all over your face. This is but one of many problems with supplements, and quite frankly just the way the industry likes it. Supplements are not a life-long solution for nutrition. If it were that easy, why would we need food?  Come and join me in Part 1 of this two part series on supplements. In today’s episode I'll cover… What is a supplement and what are they forWhy and how they should be takenThe three variables to remember when taking supplementsThe quality, purity, accuracy, and dosage problemsWho regulates supplements and what to watch out forWhat is the financial implications of supplementsOne small bite approach if you need to take a supplementNow stay tuned for next week’s episode where I’ll finish off this two-parter by expanding on what to watch out for, and a food-focused approach will help you get the nutrients you need to help you live a long and nourished life.

    Ep 182: What Factors Determine Your Health and Longevity

    Just like a vegetable or flower garden, living a full and long life requires several key elements to flourish. We know that hard work, dedication, and energy are necessary, but be aware of the things out of our control. For a garden it might be things like the weather, the amount of sunlight, or the critters that enjoy the fruits of your labor first. Longevity requires managing our behaviors like diet, exercising, and sleeping well,  but it also requires a combined effort of community and support, access to quality education, access to quality healthcare, and a safe and secure environment. These things you might not have control over.  In today’s episode I will explore the Social Determinants of Health and how they interplay with our lifestyle habits and behaviors to enhance longevity and help us live a nourished life.  In today’s episode I'll cover… The comparison of healthy garden to human health and longevityWhat are the Social Determinants of HealthDescribe each of the five determinants of healthThe connection to the 5 key ingredients from last week's episodeTalk about The Harvard Study of Adult DevelopmentDiscuss the most important finding from the Harvard Study One small bite approach to begin or enhance your SDoH

    Ep 181: 5 Key Ingredients to a Longer Fuller Life

    Which is it, live longer or live fuller? What's more important? This is actually some of the conversations I have with many of my clients. We obviously start with nutrition, but quickly move into the 'whys'. Meaning, once we start discussing why we make the food choices we do, life starts revealing itself more and more. However, what we discover is that living longer isn't only about eating the healthiest foods, it's about who we connect with, how we sleep, whether we are active on a regular basis, what habits get in the way, and more importantly the relationships we cultivate.  That's it folks! In today's episode  we will discuss the 5 Key Ingredients that will allow us to live a nourished and fulfilling life.   We'll talk about... What are the 5 Key Ingredients to a longer more fulfilling lifeA description of each of these 5 ingredients and how they are importantWhy we lose sight of these 5 ingredientsWhat you can do today to get started on improving One small bite approach that will help make that start stick
