"We don't have a weight loss problem in the US, we have a weight regain problem."
I recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with the brilliant Amanda Liptak, a registered dietitian and nutritionist with over 22 years of experience. Our conversation was a goldmine of insights about health, nutrition, and the mindset behind sustainable wellness.
Here's some of what we covered in our conversation:
1. The Foundation of Health is Mental: Amanda emphasized that true health starts in the mind. It's about how you approach each day and your overall mindset towards wellness.
2. Personalized Nutrition is Key: There's no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. Amanda's practice focuses on tailoring nutrition plans to individual needs, lifestyles, and even genetic predispositions.
3. Rethinking Restrictive Diets: We had a fascinating discussion about how removing food restrictions can actually lead to better health outcomes.
4. Metabolic Flexibility - The New Health Goal: We delved into the concept of metabolic flexibility - your body's ability to switch between burning carbs and fats for energy.
Beyond that we talked about:
Calories In, Calories Out
Functional Health and Root Causes
The Role of Supplements in Modern Health
Blood Sugar Regulation
And more.
Overall, it was an awesome conversation, and you can watch the whole thing here. While you're at it, check out Amanda's site too: https://www.nutrientrichlife.org
