When food is constantly taking over your life and becoming the foundation of every thought, feeling, and desire, Dr. Glenn Livingston gets it. Dr. Livingston experienced the obsession with food during a time in his life which ultimately led him into his work that he does now. Learn more about Dr. Livingston and how you can never Binge Again: http://www.neverbingeagain.com.  Along with consulting Big Pharma and Big Foods companies which he is embarrassed about now, Dr. Livingston ran a study of over 40,000 people and he discovered three interesting diagnostic criteria: Those who struggle with chocolate tend to be lonely or broken-hearted. Fix the hole in your heart to overcome this. If you crave salty, crunchy foods, you are most likely stressed at work or in your environment. When you crave soft, starchy foods like bread and bagels, you are most likely stressed at home. Dr. Livingston learned a great deal when he asked his mom about his eating behavior as a child. He learned that he had a mother who was emo

In this short podcast (aka "rant mode"--buck up), we discuss my sister's 45 lb.+ fat loss after 5 years of cycling, never sticking with her changes. She discusses consistency in her lifestyle change and how others want to know the magic secret. Natalee said, "that used to be me. I wanted to know the secret to lose weight and look good. Now I know until you want it and get consistent, it will do nothing for you." Natalee has PCOS, endometriosis, and was on fertility drugs for years. Did she have an excuse? SURE! And it took over 6 months to lose the first 10-15 pounds. And getting to that barrier took so much work!  "It's so easy to cut corners and say you are doing well. But when you're transparent with yourself (and your coach)," she said." When you're honest with yourself, it's hard. But it's required to make the change. Be honest about your emotional eating. Your binge eating. The things you deny.  "Until you can be brutally honest and face these things, and be honest with others, you won't change. There i

Are you wanting to understand some of the nuance behind Indulgence Meals (we don't use the word 'Cheat' here at the Power Foods Lifestyle)? Would you like to know just how often YOU should be indulging when you're motivated and working to improve your health and body composition? If so, this episode is for you! In Episode #190, Kristy Jo will help you learn the following: when you physiologically need indulgence meals ways to beat extreme approaches that result in hormonal disturbance and additional fat gain what an indulgence meal actually constitutes just how much to push your caloric deficit every day how to indulge without eating non-strategic foods (this would be ideal as you develop in the PFL!) and so much more! A true lifestyle change will take TIME, so do not abandon your efforts just because at the beginning it feels like you're on a diet. There is a great shifting mentally and emotionally that must happen in order for your body composition identity to change with it. Yes, this is a complicated pr

Transformation is a word often looked at by society as one of completely magical changing. However, here at Body Buddies, we know that transformation is created one meal, one workout, and one day at a time. It requires a shift in internal dialogue, emotional processing, and intentional external behavior. This process of remapping the brain is extraordinary when one sees it happen in another's life (or their own!). Far too many think it's "impossible" and too hard for them.  That's why I asked Brittney Becker, mother, wife, and rockstar Body Buddy to come on the podcast to talk about her transformation. She will share with you insights into balance, shifting beliefs about herself, and how to make it all happen while being a mom of many children! You will love learning in this podcast with Kristy Jo and Brittney. Tune in now and share with another mother who is on a journey to become her best self!

Exogenous Ketones, like any other product on the market, can appear to be the miracle product that puts us immediately into fat burn! But are they really all they're cracked up to be? Ketones are your body's secondary fuel source for the brain while glucose is the primary fuel source. When you go lower carb in your eating or into ketosis for fat loss and anti-inflammatory goals, you may experience something called the "carb flu." If you suddenly have that shortage of carbohydrates, you may feel fatigued, lethargic, and sometimes even nauseous. If you don't want to take the time to slowly reduce the amount of carbs you eat each day, you can take ketones to help replace the fuel going to the brain while the transition is taking place. I do recommend exogenous ketones for the right individual: Individuals who are in a Ketogenic (lower carb state) who wish to maximize their  Individuals who are in Ketosis Individuals who want to maximize their cognitive abilities and promote positive brain health You will succe

When you're working to improve your body's aesthetics and/or health, it can be very frustrating when things are not going according to plan. Maybe that is in your choices and lack of follow-through, or maybe that is due to unforeseen events in your life. No matter what is getting you off track it is important to find solutions (and quickly) so you can beat the debilitating momentum that comes from one more day, and one more day, and one more day of begin off track. However, within the midst of those efforts, the quality of your inner dialogue is critical. The more you work on improving your thoughts, the better you will become at managing your emotions. After all, emotions ride on the tailcoats of thoughts. In this episode of the Body Buddies podcast, Kristy Jo will help you learn through her own authentic and vulnerable sharing of life as is for HER right now, some better ways than others to manage the critiques of your own mind. Buckle up and prepare to embark on a path of encouraging and empowering self im

What is Leaky Gut and the Microbiome?  Latest research reveals we are doing ourselves a disservice by not looking at the root cause of illness and disease. How could that be? Due to the connection between the ecosystem in the gut and all the bacteria housed there, researchers are finding the direct correlation between how we eat, autoimmune conditions, mental health conditions, and nearly every one of these "mystery illnesses" that continue to pop up. Talking about the chemicals in our food and how they are changing our biology is a topic that many don't want to hear; in fact, they believe I am quite controversial when I talk about this. However, that mental construct, carefully crafted through cultural paradigms and media programming, is doing no one any good. Instead, it's making us sicker and sicker and raising our mortality rates, insurance premiums, and dissatisfaction with life with each passing year. Body Buddies has taken a dramatic shift over the past 6 months and will continue to do so as we focus o

You know how to think critically and realize that other people's strategies may not be right for you. The key is to find the right strategy for you. Intermittent Fasting can absolutely be part of your Power Foods Lifestyle. In this podcast, I will discuss the history of Intermittent Fasting, physiological benefits, populations who I would recommend be very wary of Intermittent Fasting, the Power Foods Lifestyle approach to IF and how to navigate it with our methodology and principles, and how I have been living it and my experience for the past month (I LOVE it, but never could have done it with my obsessions on food in former years--I had to rewire myself to get here and NOW, it's great!).

3 ways to eliminate brain fog- Brain fog, or brain fatigue, is impacting many men and women in our society. When you are experiencing brain fog, you feel lack of focus, confusion, lethargy, poor memory recall, and muted thoughts.  Life is not as vibrant and clear as it once was. Brain fog can often be a symptom of low thyroid function, adrenal insufficiency, or chronic fatigue syndrome. It is also the result of inhibited insulin receptivity--a condition called insulin resistance. In this episode, Kristy Jo will discuss three specific ways you can start to shift your eating to eliminate brain fog. These are simple tweaks that will make a significant difference in your health. Healthy fats are the pathway to giving the brain more nourishment, navigating around the body's resistance to insulin, and giving the hormones the re-set they need.

Vaccinations have long been the center of ethical scrutiny. Though on one hand, mandatory vaccinations have been responsible for eradicating many issues of days gone by like smallpox, measles, and polio, many are now arguing that vaccinations are  responsible for many of the serious health concerns our population is facing.  In this podcast, you will hear the Facebook Live conversation I had with Dr. Jay Shetlin, Chiropractic Physician of South Jordan, Utah.  Our goal behind this conversation was to open the dialogue, explore both pro- and anti- arguments, and help  those who read, watch, or listen to this conversation to think more critically.

Do you experience frequent abdominal discomfort, pain associated with digestion, and frequent trips to the bathroom? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). IBS (Irritabel Bowel Syndrome) is a category that many digestive distress conditions are thrown into–this includes changes in bowel movements, abdominal pain, and digestive distress.  This is not a disease, yet pharmaceutical companies are capitalizing on the discomfort of the American people. After all, there are over 300 different medications for IBS. Yikes! Interestingly enough, IBS is the #1 reason for worker absenteeism in the United States. It is estimated that 10-15% of the adult population experiences symptoms, and is the most common reason for presenting to one’s primary care physician. This is a huge topic of focus when I am presenting at companies and conventions for wellness in the workplace. While I don’t feel that diagnosing yourself or labeling yourself as having IBS is necessary, what matters is what you

In this Body Buddies podcast episode, Mary Tate courageously shares her story of debilitation for over a decade with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from her teenage years through her mid-twenties. She lived in one room in her parents' home and didn't know if she would ever live a "regular" life. After she was able to find solutions, Mary got married to her sweetheart. She then had a son who brought new challenges into her life with what she discovered eventually as Sensory Processing Disorder. In her conversation with Kristy Jo, she shares the following: At what point of something being "off" with your child do you need to accept something is wrong? When do you take your child into a specialist? How years of Occupational Therapy and Tactile Therapy  slowly helped her son to begin functioning like a healthy, young boy. Sensory Processing Disorder--what it looks like, sounds like, and the experience of home schooling a child with SPD. How gut health is connected to helping her son function as healthily as possi

I'd like to share with you the story of Cheryl, 48, from California. The Power Foods Lifestyle helped her lose 25 pounds in 8 weeks. My jaw literally dropped when I got her transformation photos after she had been living the Power Foods Lifestyle. Before the Power Foods Lifestyle, she didn't feel healthy, had endometriosis, had no energy, and felt so overwhelmed that something needed to change. She used to do 3 meals a day with a little snack, like chips or a granola bar, in the afternoon. She always felt hungry and had low blood sugar. She had oatmeal for breakfast. She had deli sandwiches for lunch. She had a starch with dinner with protein and veggies. Sounds healthy, right? Yes. But not strategic like I teach her at the #PowerFoodsLifestyle. Tune into this episode where Cheryl shares her story!
