“Focus on what you need to add into the diet rather than what you need to take out.” - Louise Digby

Many people focus on diet and exercise when they want to lose weight. However, especially when it comes to stubborn weight, focusing on our health and addressing underlying imbalances gets way better results than eating less and exercising more.

Instead of the typical diet approach of cutting out “bad” foods, a more helpful way of thinking is to focus on what your body needs to thrive and function properly. Too often, we cut out foods and food groups that have a place in a healthy diet and sabotage our progress. When you’re meeting your nutrient requirements, your body is better able to repair, stay in balance, and maintain a healthy weight.

Today, I’m very excited to chat with Louise Digby about the various factors that can affect a weight loss journey. Louise is a registered nutritional therapist, women’s weight loss expert, and founder of The Nourish Method to Lasting Fat Loss. Her clients come to her after struggling to lose weight despite eating well and working hard to burn the fat. Louise transforms her clients' health and well-being by identifying and addressing each individual’s unique needs and imbalances to lose weight, optimize their health, and rediscover their sparkle without restrictive dieting or the need for superhuman willpower.

In this conversation, Louise and I discuss the challenges women in perimenopause and menopause face in losing weight, how thyroid issues impact weight management, why she focuses on addressing underlying health imbalances, the need for adequate protein, fat and carbohydrates in every meal, how to manage sugar cravings, why we need to heal the gut, whether intermittent fasting works, practical steps for starting your weight loss journey, and more. Enjoy the episode!

“There is no survival advantage to screening with mammograms.” - Dr. Jenn Simmons

For over 50 years, healthcare providers have told women how important it is to have a mammogram every year after a certain age. With mammograms positioned as the primary screening tool for breast cancer, these annual visits are dutifully maintained for years in the hope that they will act as an early warning system. Unfortunately, the data doesn’t support this theory.

Research shows that there was no survival advantage to screening with mammograms, nor does it result in more breasts saved. In addition, repeated radiation exposure causes thousands of breast cancers every year, as well as thousands of women treated for breast cancer that never needed to be treated. Luckily, we now have alternatives that are safer and less aggressive.

Today, I’m excited to chat with Dr. Jenn Simmons, who is on a mission to change the impact of breast cancer. Dr. Jenn started her professional career as Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon. Her own illness led to her discovery of functional medicine, and she became enamored with the concept of creating health rather than killing disease. She left traditional medicine in 2019 and founded Real Health MD to help women along their breast cancer journey truly heal.

In this conversation, Dr. Jenn and I discuss her personal experiences with breast cancer, the complexities of its detection and treatment, the root causes of breast cancer, how environmental toxins and lifestyle factors affect cancer development, innovative imaging technology for safer breast cancer screening, why you shouldn’t be afraid of estrogen, and more. Enjoy the episode!
