    Is Your Doctor Keeping You Sick? Conversation with Dr. Efrat LaMandre

    On today’s show Dr. E and I discuss how conventional medicine often keeps patients sick because they focus on treating the symptoms and never addressing the root cause of the illness.

    Dr. E is a Nurse Practitioner with a Ph.D. in Integrative Medicine

    and she created The Knew Method to empower patients and help

    millions of viewers worldwide understand that “YOUR

    SYMPTOMS ARE NOT IN YOUR HEAD.”


    Efrat LaMandre is the founder of the The Knew Method where she empowers patients to finally realize that their symptoms are not in their head. She helps people optimize their health, prevent illness, reduce medication and feel great by getting to the root cause of their illness. She also wrote a book called “Its Not In Your Head” Your Body Doesn’t Feel Right But You Don’t Know Why.

    In addition, Efrat owns a Primary Care Practice called EG Healthcare, a Medical Scribe company, HawkScribes, and an education company, EG PREP.

Discount Code to Save 15% Off Your Get Ready Wrap: THRIVE15 Why We Overeat and How To Correct It: Overeating, or consuming more food than the body needs for energy, can occur for various negative reasons. Here are five common ones: #1 Emotional Eating: Many people turn to food to cope with emotions such as stress, anxiety, sadness, or boredom. They use food as a source of comfort or distraction, even when they're not physically hungry. #2 Mindless Eating: Eating without paying attention to hunger cues or the amount of food consumed can lead to overeating. Mindless eating often occurs when people eat in front of the TV, while working, or while engaging in other activities, which can result in consuming more calories than necessary. #3 External Cues: Environmental factors such as the sight or smell of food, social gatherings, advertising, and food availability can trigger overeating even when individuals are not hungry. These external cues can stimulate appetite and lead to eating beyond the body's actual needs. #4 Restrictive Dieting: Following overly restrictive diets or strict food rules can sometimes backfire, leading to episodes of overeating or binge eating. When certain foods are labeled as "off-limits" or forbidden, individuals may develop a preoccupation with those foods and ultimately overeat when they're available. #5 Habitual Patterns: Overeating can become a habitual behavior, especially if individuals are accustomed to large portion sizes or frequent snacking. Eating out of habit rather than genuine hunger can lead to consuming excess calories over time. These negative reasons for overeating often contribute to weight gain and can have adverse effects on physical and emotional well-being. Developing mindfulness around eating habits, addressing emotional triggers, and fostering a balanced approach to food can help mitigate overeating tendencies. Three effective strategies to help overcome overeating: #1 Mindful Eating: Practicing mindful eating involves paying full attention to the eating experience, including the sensations of hunger and fullness, the taste and texture of food, and the emotions and thoughts associated with eating. By slowing down and being present during meals, individuals can become more aware of their body's hunger and satiety signals, which can help prevent overeating. Some tips for mindful eating include: *Eating slowly and savoring each bite. *Paying attention to physical hunger cues before and during meals. *Recognizing the difference between physical hunger and emotional or environmental triggers for eating. *Minimizing distractions while eating, such as television or electronic devices. *Listening to the body's signals of fullness and stopping eating when satisfied, even if there's food left on the plate. #2 Portion Control: Monitoring portion sizes can be an effective strategy for preventing overeating. Portion control involves being mindful of serving sizes and choosing appropriate portions based on individual energy needs. Some techniques for practicing portion control include: *Using smaller plates, bowls, and utensils to visually reduce portion sizes. *Pre-portioning snacks and meals to avoid eating straight from large packages. *Being mindful of recommended serving sizes listed on food labels. *Dividing meals into appropriate portions before eating, especially when dining out or ordering takeout. *Learning to estimate portion sizes using visual cues, such as comparing food portions to familiar objects (e.g., a deck of cards for meat, a tennis ball for fruit). #3 Addressing Emotional Eating: Developing alternative coping mechanisms for dealing with emotions can help individuals reduce reliance on food for comfort or stress relief. Instead of turning to food, people can explore healthier ways to manage emotions and stress. Some strategies for addressing emotional eating include: *Identifying emotional triggers for overeating and finding alternative ways to address those emotions, such as ...

Discount Code to Save 15% Off Your Get Ready Wrap: THRIVE15 Do You Really Need Motivation? In this episode of The Overweight Mind, I discuss all things motivation. What is motivation (the two types) ~ Is it really? Is it necessary for success? How can you create it when it’s gone? What is Motivation and Do We Really Need It Motivation refers to the driving force behind our actions, desires, and behaviors. It is the internal or external factor that stimulates us to pursue a particular goal, task, or outcome. Motivation is what energizes us, directs our behavior, and sustains our efforts over time. There are two main types of motivation: Intrinsic motivation: This type of motivation comes from within oneself. It involves engaging in an activity because it is inherently rewarding, enjoyable, or fulfilling. Examples of intrinsic motivation include pursuing a hobby because it brings personal satisfaction or studying a subject out of genuine interest. Extrinsic motivation: Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, comes from external factors such as rewards, punishments, or social pressures. It involves engaging in an activity to earn a reward or avoid a negative consequence. Examples of extrinsic motivation include studying to earn good grades, working to receive a paycheck, or exercising to win a competition. Motivation can be influenced by various factors, including: *Personal goals and values *Expectations of success or failure *Past experiences and achievements *Social and cultural norms *Environmental factors *Emotional states, such as excitement, fear, or enthusiasm Why we lose motivation and how to get it back: Understanding motivation is essential for achieving personal and professional goals, as it plays a crucial role in determining our persistence, effort, and overall performance in pursuing desired outcomes. Losing motivation can happen for various reasons, including burnout, lack of clear goals, feeling overwhelmed, or experiencing setbacks. 5 steps to help you regain motivation: #1 Reflect on your goals ~ Why did you start?: Take some time to reassess your short-term and long-term goals. Are they still meaningful to you? Are they achievable? Adjust your goals to align with your current circumstances and aspirations if necessary. #2 Break tasks into smaller steps ~ Rocks vs Boulder: Feeling overwhelmed can lead to a loss of motivation. Break down your tasks into smaller, manageable steps. This makes them feel less daunting and allows you to make progress incrementally, which can boost your motivation as you see yourself moving forward. #3 Find inspiration ~ manufacture urgency: Seek out sources of inspiration that resonate with you. This could be reading books, watching motivational videos, listening to podcasts, or talking to mentors or peers who inspire you. Surround yourself with positivity and motivation to reignite your own enthusiasm. #4 Create a supportive environment. Who’s influencing you? Evaluate your environment and identify any factors that may be contributing to your lack of motivation. These could include distractions, negative influences, or disorganization. Make changes to your environment that support your goals and encourage productivity. #5 Take care of yourself ~ How are you treating yourself: Remember to prioritize your health and life, as physical and mental well-being play a significant role in motivation. Ensure you get enough sleep, eat healthily, exercise regularly, and manage stress effectively. Taking care of yourself gives you more energy and resilience to tackle challenges and stay motivated. By implementing these steps, you can gradually regain your motivation and momentum towards achieving your goals. Remember that motivation fluctuates naturally, so be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way.
