Giving up part of yourself so that you can expand and grow into a better version of you - Jill Bunny

She has reinvented herself time and time again to give herself the best chance to be successful in whatever phase of life she is in.

If we fail to do something about it, this could destroy all of us

We are heading for a world with two groups of people who want nothing to do with each other... The medicated, and the unmedicated. This has the potential to become a social status game with the government supporting those who bend the knee to big pharma and big government instead of accepting personal responsibility. There is absolutely a place for pharmaceuticals, medical doctors, and government. We have to be significantly more cynical about how these entities participate in our lives, before we have no say at all.

Leading weight-loss expert talks openly about dangers and uses of Ozempic and other GLP-1 Inhibitors, Dr. Spencer Nadolsky

Will Ozempic and other GLP-1 Inhibitors go down as the Opioid crisis of the 2020s? Are there people for whom these drugs are more dangerous? If so, is it predictable who these people are? Are doctors overprescribing GLP-1 inhibitors? Is there a financial incentive for the doctors to do it even when it's not advisable for the patient? Is there a penalty for docs doing this? Should there be? These drugs are now approved for children as young as 12 years old, it's not long before we're approving it for 6 year olds, how long before we have a generation of people who know nothing of food and exercise personal responsibility? These are just some of the questions discussed on today's episode with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky. It should be noted, Dr. Nadolsky is a professional, and a good person who wants the best for his patients and his industry. Him coming on this show to discuss this topic demonstrates high integrity and willingness to go the extra mile. We need more docs like him. Find doc on instagram at @drnadolsky

What it takes to build, and sell a great nutrition coaching company - Mike Doehla

Mike is the founder of Stronger U, which he great to over 8,000 clients at it's peak, and over 50,000 clients overall. He's not a dietician, and he wasn't formally trained before he started the company. This is a story of grit and authenticity. Most importantly, Mike is a great father and husband who genuinely cares about the people in his life. I met Mike at The Real Coach's Summit, my friend Aram Grigorian's event, and it's just another reason why I implore you to get out of your town, and get to events. Find Mike on Instagram @mikedoehla

"Why did you do all of this work, you don't even know if you're going to be working with me" - A story of moxie and hard work with Jayson Siano
