Ryan is a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Traditional Naturopath, and Board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist who takes a holistic approach to help his patients improve their health by utilizing results-based natural therapies.

One of the things I enjoy the most about this podcast is having the opportunity to connect with other like minded professionals who have a strong passion for teaching other’s how to prioritize their health & fitness. Today I catch up with my friend Brian Pannuzzo, for an inspiring conversation about how he left a 20 year, seemingly successful, wall street career to instead coach other men in their health, marriage, mindset and relationships. You’ll hear right away that Brian and I are speaking the same language on so many levels as it relates to career and life priorities, how to lead by example for our family and our community, how to choose better without feeling the need to ever be perfect, and why it’s never too late to choose to make positive change in your life. I hope you Enjoy this conversation as much as I did!   Connect with Brian: The Success Lift Blueprint: https://www.thesuccesslift.com/blueprint-1 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brianpannuzzo/ Connect with Ben: Grab a FREE copy of our Fat Loss Fix Guide: www.FatLossFixGuide.com Join our Nutrition Community: https://www.smartnutritionmadesimple.com Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: www.SmartNutritionMadeSimpleTV.com Connect with us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/bslnutrition As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Most of us think that if we eat less and work out more we will lose weight, but that’s simply NOT the case. In fact, doing so is often a recipe for weight gain. Why? Well, the answer lies in understanding the metabolism and what it takes to function optimally. If you’re curious about how the metabolism really works, you’re struggling to lose weight and can’t figure out why, or if you’re simply interested in optimizing your metabolic health, then you need to check out my podcast with Dr. Jade Teta. If you can remember that the metabolism is simply a stress barometer,  you can start to understand why it runs into problems very quickly when you don’t let is seek its natural balance. Dr. Teta is an integrative physician, highly sought after expert in the realm of metabolism and self-development and author of the best-selling books The Metabolic Effect Diet, Metabolic Aftershock and Lose Weight Here. He spent the last 25+ years immersed in the study of strength and conditioning, hormonal metabolism and the psychology of change and success. Additionally, Dr. Teta is the founder and creator of Metabolic Effect, an international health and fitness company, as well as the creator of Jade Teta, LLC, where he combines his knowledge of fitness with his expertise in self-development and mindset change. During our extremely informative discussion we take a deep dive into metabolism, why metabolism is so important, the ideas of metabolic damage, metabolic compensation, and metabolic resistance, why we experience weight-loss resistance and how to adjust our nutrition, exercise, and mindset in order to help our metabolism function the way it’s supposed to function. Dr. Teta also shares both subjective and objective tools to help identify and overcome common metabolic issues many of us are struggling with on a daily basis. I guarantee this is a podcast that you will not want to miss.

In this episode, I have a conversation with James LaValle about his unique expertise in personalized integrative therapies that he uses to uncover the underlying metabolic issues that keep people from feeling healthy and vital.  We’ll discuss his Metabolic Code testing methodology as a framework for identifying the biggest limiting factors, with nutrition, physiology, and behavior, that are keeping us from feeling and performing our best, and how to approach progressive, systematic, science-based, behavior, nutrition, and lifestyle change.

One of the first tools that we tend to gravitate towards when we’ve committed to a weight loss program is some sort of cardiovascular exercise, like jogging, peloton, Bootcamp classes, and/or some sort of circuit style training. Many of us have this perception that if our heart rates are elevated, if we’re sweating, and we’re out of breath, then we’re burning more calories and therefore, burning more fat… Unfortunately, that’s simply not the case.  Indeed, we may be, in fact, burning more calories during that specific bout of exercise, but of more significance is how our body actually responds to the increase in calorie expenditure, which is really quite fascinating. By the end of this discussion, I’m going to show why doing more cardio could actually be holding you back from your fat loss goals and why the least intense form of exercise may actually be your best tool for improved body composition and health.

In this episode I’ll share the many reasons (brain, body, soul) that committing to family meals can be one of the single best tools to help your children become confident, healthy, communicative, and emotionally stable individuals. We’ll discuss some of the research around why having frequent family meals is so valuable for not only our kids, but for our family dynamic, as well as the numerous life-long health benefits that eating together can impart. Additionally, I’ll break down the PFC (protein, fat, carb) framework that we, as a family, use to help us create quick, easy, and nutritious meals that the whole family can enjoy. Enjoy!
