Episode 57 Dr. Sara Gottfried

For all of us, it’s tough to sustain the gains we’ve achieved from our detoxes, cleanses and diets. Most people gain back all of their weight loss within two years. And that’s because diets don’t work by failing to address the root causes for weight gain.

In this week’s Regen360 podcast show, we have the opportunity to sit down with none other than my three times New York Times bestselling author wife, Dr. Sara Gottfried. She’s also a Harvard-MIT integrative functional medicine physician.

Both Sara and I have had food issues in our lives, and she has pioneered a protocol for us and hundreds of thousands of others to learn how to eat differently – in a more balanced way for our hormones and to age younger. In this week’s podcast, we talk about ways to soothe ourselves that’s not food, and what to do if you fall off the wagon.

I’m in the best shape of my life and according to my telomeres, aging younger than my age. My weight is below that of my high school and college years. I owe it to my wife’s counsel and programs.

We’re all human, and being perfect with our food is impossible. Losing our way is inevitable, but what’s really important, is to deploy tools that help you stay the course. With Thanksgiving this week it’s the start of holiday parties and festivities, and that means lots of good food and drinks. More than ever, we need help to navigate the sugar, gluten, and alcohol.

I hope you can join my wife, Dr. Sara, and me for this insightful and helpful podcast.

What’s your morning ritual?

We’re a bit nuts in the Gottfried household in the morning, which doesn’t surprise many who know me or my wife, also known as Dr. Sara. She’s a doctor who practices functional medicine and a three time New York Times bestselling health author. And as you likely know, I’m a green building nerd, obsessed with not only LEED Platinum buildings, but those that have gone deeper into regeneration of energy, water, and our health.

How we wake up each morning has lasting impact. Do you race out of bed to the kitchen to get your morning caffeine, or do you meditate quietly for 30 minutes as you calm your sympathetic nervous system and lower your cortisol? Do you take the time to eat a nutritious breakfast, or consciously skip it as you rush out the door? And what measurements or supplementation, if any, do you perform or take each morning?

This blog shares the quirky inside scoop of our morning rituals – mostly health based, that help set us up for a fabulous day of energy, mental acuity, and athleticism. Most of them I like, a few are tolerable and one I hate… Continue reading
