    Understanding the Common Threads in Mental Health and Weight Loss with Evan Transue

    Understanding the Common Threads in Mental Health and Weight Loss with Evan Transue

    There are many commonalities between mental health and weight loss. In fact many of the lifestyle choices that we make create poor outcomes in both of these areas. Emotional factors, like stress, depression, and anxiety, often trigger unhealthy eating patterns, leading to weight gain. Conversely, excess weight can exacerbate mental health issues, perpetuating a cycle of negative emotions and overeating. Lifestyle choices, such as sleep, exercise, and nutrition, significantly impact both mental well-being and weight management. Recognizing and addressing these shared influences is key to achieving holistic health, emphasizing that mental and physical well-being are deeply intertwined.
    To dive into this topic, we invited Evan Transue to the show. Evan is the host of the Health Detective Podcast and owner of Bucks County Light Therapy.  He joins the show to share his insights on his own health journey that took him through battles with his mental health and eventually leading to the discovery of how optimal mental health and proper weight management are by-products of a healthy lifestyle.

    The Solution is Sleep! The Missing Ingredient in Your Weight Loss Diet.

    The Solution is Sleep! The Missing Ingredient in Your Weight Loss Diet.

    Diet and exercise is aren’t the only shows in town when it comes to weight loss.  Sleep plays a crucial role in weight loss due to its impact on various physiological processes. Sleep supports hormone regulation, specifically leptin and ghrelin, which control appetite and hunger. Inadequate sleep disrupts this balance, leading to increased hunger and food cravings, and reduced satiety. Moreover, during deep sleep, the body undergoes essential metabolic and restorative processes that aid weight loss.
    So to help us prioritize sleep so that we can get all these amazing benefits, we invited Dr. Angela Holliday-Bell to the show.  Dr. Holliday-Bell is the author of Sleeping on the Job, and she helps corporate employees develop wellness strategies to maximize performance and decrease burnout through better sleep.

    Wellness to Wonderful: The Missing Links to Next Level Health

    All the dieting in the world may not help you.  In other words, there's more to wellness than a healthy diet. The word wellness is most often used to describe an aspirational state of physical health, attained by attention to diet and lifestyle. This episode expands on this and emphasizes the impact of integrating authentic connection with family, friends, colleagues, spirit, and the natural world. 
    To share these often overlooked pillars, we invited Dr. Alona Pulde and Dr. Matthew Lederman to the show.  They both have spent decades treating chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and obesity with their diet and lifestyle medical practices. With Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey, they coauthored The Whole Foods Diet and The Whole Foods Cookbook. They also authored the NY Times best seller The Forks Over Knives Plan, Forks Over Knives Family, and Keep It Simple, Keep It Whole.
