  • 106. The Shocking Truth About Western Medicine: What Doctors Aren't Telling You
    Aug 6 2024

    Diane Gilman opens the episode by reflecting on the importance of health, highlighting the truism "health is wealth." She sets the stage for a deep dive into the limitations of traditional Western medicine and the potential benefits of integrating alternative health solutions.

    A Journey to Holistic Health

Trevor's story serves as an inspiration, showing how a commitment to doing the right things consistently can lead to sustainable health improvements.

    Critique of Western Medicine

    The Role of Food as Medicine

    Diane and Trevor explore various alternative therapies that can complement Western medicine. They discuss the benefits of practices like intermittent fasting, red light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and ozone therapy. These therapies, according to Trevor, can support the body's natural detoxification processes, reduce inflammation, and promote overall health.

    The Importance of Longevity and Health Span

    As the conversation progresses, Diane shares her personal experiences with maintaining health in her later years. Trevor and Diane agree that longevity is only valuable if one can enjoy life and maintain vitality. They emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle in achieving a high quality of life, particularly as one ages.

    Closing Remarks

    Diane wraps up the episode by expressing her desire for a more integrative approach in the healthcare system. She wishes for greater access to alternative therapies within mainstream medical facilities and emphasizes the value of offering patients more choices. The episode concludes with a reminder that "health is wealth," and achieving longevity requires a holistic approach that combines the best of Western and alternative medicine.

    Jul 30 2024

    In this episode of "Too Young To Be Old," Diane Gilman, the Queen of Jeans, welcomes Andres Ayesta, a registered dietitian and expert in weight loss and nutrition. Together, they dive into the hot topic of Ozempic, a popular medication often used for weight management, and explore its implications, benefits, and potential downsides.

    Introduction to Ozempic

    Who Should Use Ozempic

    The conversation touches on the appropriate candidates for Ozempic. While it can be beneficial for those with significant weight issues or metabolic disorders, the hosts caution against its use for vanity weight loss, highlighting the importance of addressing the root causes of weight gain.

    Potential Risks and Misuse

    Diane and Andres discuss the potential side effects and long-term unknowns associated with Ozempic use. They address the concern of misuse by individuals who may not need the medication and the ethical considerations for healthcare providers.

    Key Takeaways
    • Ozempic can be a helpful tool for specific populations, but it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
    • It is crucial to focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than relying solely on medication for weight loss.
    • Understanding the psychological and emotional aspects of eating can lead to more effective and long-lasting health outcomes.

  • 102. The Metabolism Makeover | Small Changes for Big Results w/ Lisa Swanson
    Jul 23 2024

    In this episode of "Too Young To Be Old," Diane Gilman, the queen of jeans, sits down with nutrition expert Lisa Swanson to discuss the intricacies of metabolism, how it affects our bodies, and practical steps to manage it effectively.

    Meet Your Metabolism

    Lisa Swanson emphasizes the importance of understanding and meeting your metabolism where it currently stands. This involves tracking your current food intake without making any immediate changes. By observing how your current diet affects your weight and overall well-being, you can begin to understand the relationship between your eating habits and your metabolism.

    The Role of Tracking

    Tracking what you eat is crucial. Lisa explains that it's not just about counting calories but about recognizing how the food you consume impacts your weight and health. This step is essential in identifying whether your current diet is causing weight gain, loss, or maintenance and understanding the associated signs and symptoms.

    Balancing Your Diet

    Once you have a clear picture of your current eating habits and their effects, the next step is to balance your diet. Lisa discusses how she helps clients like Diane, who might be under-eating, by gradually increasing their caloric intake in a way that supports their metabolism. She stresses that a sudden jump in calories can lead to weight gain, so it's important to make adjustments that align with what your metabolism needs.

    Understanding Caloric Needs

    Lisa provides insights into how she determines the appropriate caloric intake for her clients. She mentions that while some nutritionists might find her methods unconventional, her approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual's metabolism. For instance, someone under-eating at 800 calories a day might need a gradual increase to 1100 calories to boost their metabolism without overwhelming it.
