Unconventional Wisdom from Dietitian Cassie
Two of the greatest dieting myths are that eating too many calories or too much fat is what leads to weight gain. Today's guest, Cassie Bjork (a.k.a. "Dietitian Cassie"), has been down the low-fat, low-calorie road. She ended up with a terrible sugar addiction and a conviction that what she learned in dietitian school was all wrong. Since then, she's made it her business to spread the word that long cardio and low-fat eating are the fastest ways to feel hungry, fatigued, and stressed. Listen in as she explains how to avoid the inflammation and weight gain that come from old-school dieting and what to do instead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Fierce and Kind Woman
Our guest today, Dr. Aviva Romm, is no less than "The Face of Natural Medicine in the 21st Century," according to Prevention magazine. And while she has almost three decades of exemplary medical training and a thriving practice, it's her role as a woman and mother that really brings her here today. Together we'll tackle a potentially life-saving question: how do you navigate the differences in healthcare for women? Women are more likely to have their symptoms dismissed or opinions discounted. They're also more likely to stay quiet about pain or fatigue. My gender certainly affected the way doctors treated me after my son Grant's near-fatal accident. If you're a woman or have a mom, wife, or daughter you love, this is one episode you can't afford to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
