#55: Weight Loss Is Much More Than Calories In, Calories Out w/ Lori Balue, A-CFHC, FDN-P, LEHP

In this episode, we're lucky enough to get an update from an FDN practitioner who was the guest for episode #12 of this podcast, Lori Balue!

She helps her clients lose that stubborn inflammatory fat, reset their metabolism, and take back control of their bodies and their brains. Lori believes that the biggest gap in weight-loss these days is not in some fancy pill or procedure, but it’s in actually discovering one's health and having fun taking care of oneself while ALSO losing weight. She believes that to lose weight, what we really need to do is be healthy.

#51: All About Environmental Toxins w/ Stephanie Center, FDN-P, Host of ”The Daily Detox” Podcast

Our guest today is Stephanie Center! Stephanie was born and raised in a quiet and charming Chicago suburb. Since her youth, she's always been intrigued by health and wellness. In college, she majored in kinesiology. She also fell deeply in love with bioenergetics (what happens to the body on a cellular level when it’s moving), and exercise psychology. In June of 2018, she got really sick. She sought out specialist after specialist for about a year and a half. No one was able to help her, and her illness continued to get worse. She began to realize how broken our medical system really is. Lets pause here, because this part is important! She says, and we quote: "I am a medical professional, and it took me being sick to recognize that the medical community does not (by training) treat root causes. The medical community issues medications to manage symptoms." End quote. Stephanie became desperate. She did her own research and educated herself on lab values and differential diagnoses. This journey of research led her to functional medicine. Tune into the episode to see how Stephanie turned her situation completely around!

#50: Never Take No For An Answer w/ Sally Aponte, FDN-P (50th Episode Special)!

Wow! Can you believe it's been 50 episodes? We just want to take this time to thank you all for your support, and you can rest assured that we are just getting started. Today's guest is someone who did a fantastic job at reminding us just exactly how challenging these issues can be, Sally Aponte. Sally Aponte is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner whose mission is to empower people who suffer from persistent gut symptoms with the right tools and healthy life-style choices so they can live a disease-free life and enjoy life to the fullest even in their senior years.   Prior to becoming a FDN-P she worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant for 29 years. Attending to the needs of her chronically ill patients was always a constant reminder that living an unhealthy lifestyle will contribute to disease and disabilities that can result in having a poor quality of life down the line.     She believes catching a potential disease at its earliest stages is another important factor for maintaining health and well-being. During her earlier years she struggled with multiple health problems and was misdiagnosed for 9 years before discovering she had Celiac Disease. The years of being misdiagnosed came at a price but it was the application of functional medicine that helped her reach a level of health that was not attainable through traditional medicine. As a result, she developed a passion for healing the body through alternative means. This led her to pursue a career as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Health Coach, and she continues to further her education in the field.
