Hi! I am Bethany Russell, creator of Rice Diet Support, a new online community with FREE resources for people looking to improve their health with Dr. Walter Kempner’s revolutionary Rice Diet. Being diagnosed with a life-altering illness in my 20’s brought me to the work of Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Walter Kempner. In this presentation I discuss my personal health and weight-loss journey including how I lost 90lbs in 4 months in 2014! I demonstrate some of Kempner’s medical archives with quotes from the experts on how dietary change can improve conditions such as: heart disease, diabetes T2, kidney disease, hypertension, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity and more.
Stress and external factors may play a role in our overall health, but what impacts our health the most is what we eat. I am not a success story, although I have some of those, I also have failure stories. I hope you will gain something from my presentation and walk away with a renewed perspective. My hope is to do my part to reach the sick and to spread the word of alternative therapies for people who may be walking in my shoes looking for their last hope. To anyone battling obesity and/or severe illness, my heart goes out to you. I hope and pray that you will find relief from your pain and that you may reach your goals. Never give up. Stand in hope!

Dr. Douglas J. Lisle, Ph.D.is the co-author of The Pleasure Trap available here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1570671974?tag=onamzchefajsh-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=1570671974&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1GNPDCAG4A86S
Dr. Doug Lisle is an evolutionary psychologist and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health and Happiness. He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology.
Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world’s greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle’s 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology.
Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness.
Dr Lisle is available at selected days and times for a one-to-one, personal phone consultation:
