What do you think about when you hear the word "diet?"For some people, the word diet is just like the word "no." Some think dieting means cutting out many of the foods you love to eat or depriving yourself by eating less.But it doesn't have to be that way.On this episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, I chat with weight loss expert Eliza Kingsford about how YOU can take power back from the word "diet."

She's spent years working with overweight and obese teens at her Empowered Wellness Camp, helping them to lose weight and keep it off.She also just released a brand new book called Brain-Powered Weight Loss about the psychological connection between what we eat and how we feel.We'll talk about all these topics and more, including how to develop a "healthy obsession" and how to deal with some of the most common misconceptions about healthy eating.

Have you ever thought about how much time you really spend sitting every single day? Maybe you drive to and from work, sit in front of a computer screen, and by the time you get home you're so exhausted all you want to do is lie down on the couch...Well, the average American now spends 21 hours a day sitting or sleeping, leaving just three hours for standing, walking, and moving around. And study after study has shown how all this sitting is making us sicker and shortening our lifespans.So what can you do about it — especially when it can be so hard to find the time to get moving?Well, on this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I'll be talking to Brett Bartholomew, a fitness expert who works with high-performance athletes and the best-selling author of Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In.Brett and I discuss the absolute easiest ways for YOU to get up and moving (even if it means doing a few squats while brushing your teeth!).

What happens when your doctor doesn't listen to you? Or worse, what if your doctor tells you that what you're feeling is all in your head? What do you do? Who can you turn to? Well, that's exactly what happened to today's guest. In her late teens, Allison Post — health coach and author of "The Gut Wellness Guide" —began suffering from unexplainable and debilitating pains and infections. But every time she went to a doctor, she always heard the same thing: Nothing's wrong with you. They told her to take an antibiotic and some painkillers and wait for her symptoms to get better. Except they didn't. Pretty soon, Allison's worst fears became a reality as she found herself in an emergency ward with a 104 degree fever fighting for her life. What happened next changed Allison's life forever. She's become an advocate for personalized care and holistic medicine because she understands how important it is for people to know someone is really trying to understand what's wrong with them. On today's episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, Allison and I discuss her incredible story, what it means to truly listen to your body, and how you can use a few simple tools to radically change your health and your life.
