This Podcast Burns Fat‪!‬ Dr. Lori Shemek and Omar Cumberbatch

Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient practice that originating in India over 3,000 years ago and it is making a resurgence in the Western world.  It is a holistic healing system focused on balancing the body, mind, and spirit. It emphasizes natural treatments, including diet, herbal remedies, exercise, meditation, and yoga.  When it comes to weight loss, Ayurvedic medicine is especially effective because it uniquely adds powerhouse spices to our diet that produces remarkable results.  
 
To dive into this topic, we invited Dr. Shivani Gupta to the show.  Dr. Gupta is an Ayurvedic practitioner and expert in fusing Eastern and Western practices that help our bodies achieve equilibrium. She completed her Master’s in Ayurvedic Sciences and has a PhD in Turmeric, one of the most powerful spices in the world. She shares how inflammation is a root cause for many health issues in our lives and demonstrates how we have the power to overcome it with the assistance of Ayurvedic medicine.  She is also the founder of Fusionary Formulas, an Ayurvedic company that helps people with inflammation and pain.

 
 

Balancing blood sugar is crucial for overall health.  Blood sugar spikes and crashes can lead to diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Stable blood sugar levels ensure consistent energy, improved mood, enhance cognitive function, and reduce cravings, which supports long-term wellness and preventing chronic health issues.
To give us some tips on this balancing act, we invited Amy Wilson to the show.  Amy Wilson is a Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, a certified fitness professional, and a certified nutrition coach.  
Amy’s mission is to empower and equip her clients to take charge of their health and find balance in their lives. With over 30 years of experience, Amy specializes in developing individualized health plans that navigate through her client’s individual barriers, allowing them to be successful in their efforts.

Understanding inflammation and its role in disease is one of the most critical missions this show is aimed to do.  Inflammation is said to be the cause of 14 out of the top 15 causes of death in the world! Yet it is completely misunderstood by a majority of us, including the doctors that are tasked to treat us as patients! It's time to get a refresher on this subject.
To dive deep into this topic and break down how we can get a handle on this problem, we invited Dr. Tom O'Bryan to the show. Dr. O'Bryan is an internationally recognized speaker who focuses on food sensitivities, environmental toxins and the development of autoimmune diseases. Dr. O’Bryan is considered a “Sherlock Holmes” for chronic disease and holds teaching faculty positions with the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Health Sciences. He is the author of You Can Fix Your Brain and The Autoimmune Fix.
 

It's amazing how something we do constantly can be done incorrectly.  It's hard to believe that breathing is something that we are born doing and over time, is altered and creates a whole host of health issues.  Weight loss does not escape this.  By increasing our lung capacity by properly breathing, we can maintain a healthy lifestyle and boost our overall fitness levels, making it easier to achieve and maintain weight loss goals.
To describe how we can improve in this area, we invited Mark Carbone to the show.  Mark is the CEO of PN Medical and has been in business for over 40 years serving 2,000,000 people. PN Medical makes intelligent medical devices for the millions of people needing to improve their cardiopulmonary performance. He serves as lead inventor overseeing creation of their newest inventions including the Breather and AI enhanced new Breather Coach app coming by early summer, 2024.

Lifestyle is the best medicine.  With a proper lifestyle, we can see how we can live a healthy and thriving life that doesn't have to be very difficult to maintain.  We also begin to see that food isn't always what we really are craving for and non-dieting is the new way of living.
To expand on how to embark on this lifestyle, we invited Kim Shapira to the show.   Kim is a celebrity dietitian, nutritional therapist, and author, with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Tulane University and a Master’s degree in Human Metabolism and Clinical Nutrition from Boston University. Kim has spent over 25 years helping people lose weight and keep it off both in her private Los Angeles practice, in hospitals, sports clinics, addiction centers and universities. 
She also shares her new book, This Is What You're Really Hungry For: Six Simple Rules to Transform Your Relationship with Food to Become Your Healthiest Self  where she has developed six simple rules that will change your relationship with food forever. 

Neuroimmune conditioned syndromes (NICS) affect an increasing number of people.  These issues include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and the urgency for effective treatments has never been greater.  So when a new and groundbreaking program is showing great promise, it opens up a lot of eyes and grabs a lot of attention.  
To share his groundbreaking program, we invited  Ashok Gupta to the show.  Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University. Through neurological research that he conducted, he managed to get himself 100% better and then set up a clinic to treat others, and then published the well-known neuroplasticity “limbic retraining” recovery program and app known as the Gupta Program in 2007.
