Low Fat Diet Could Kill You!Study Finds 

 

How Preservatives Can Make Us Gain Weight

 

Our solo guest, Margaret Floyd, shares her journey to becoming a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as an instructor for the program Restorative Wellness Solutions that teaches functional lab skills to qualified nutritionists. Margaret mentions just how life changing this program can be not only for yourself, but for your clients to uncover the root cause of their health concerns. She also chats a bit about her website, http://www.eatnakednow.com  and her book Eat Naked that is recommended reading for the NTA.

Margaret, Kara and Leah go over a new study revealing that a low fat diet could be deadly! The study claims that low saturated fat in take can shorten ones life by 13%, yet a diet high in fat cuts ones life by 23%. How confusing! The solution? The authors suggest a happy medium..yet strongly urge to not have a high fat intake. Listen in to hear the NTP perspective! Secondly, a new article talks about how preservatives can make us gain weight. Preservatives can interfere with our endocrine system and cause weight gain. But what about natural preservatives? Tune in!

And remember our secret health headline! It's pretty moo-ving.

Pete Evans' Documentary About the Paleo Diet Has Been Slammed! 

 

Does Less Sleep Make You Less Healthy? 

 

On this week's episode Leah and Kara talk with Jessica Curl and Natalee Anderson. We get to know Jessica as she shares her history of being a professional soccer player, her experience with fitness, diet and the shocking story off how she ripped her Achilles. Yikes! Natalee explains a past of depression, miscarriage, corporate burnout and an Autoimmune condition Arthritis Ankylosing Spondylitis where she was told her spine would fuse and her eventual fate could possibly be a wheelchair. One day she became inspired to take life into her own hands through diet, exercise and mindset and never looked back.

Kara, Leah, Jessica and Natalee discuss that scandal in the paleo world that is Pete Evans new documentary, "The Magic Pill." Doctors absolutely slammed Evans for saying switching to a real foods diet can aid in treating chronic health conditions. Evan's talks about how grains effect the gut and a ketogenic diet can be beneficial for seizure patients. Unfortunately, the Australian Medical Association found this utterly insulting. Are they being too harsh, or is there validity to Evans' claims? Transitioning into the second article was based around sleep. A new study shows that poor sleep can increase obesity and being overweight. Jessica and Natalee dissect just how vital sleep can be for our metabolism and over all health. You don't want to miss it!

Remember out secret health headline , it's a sweet one!
