I need to start getting more sleepOne of the most socially accepted drugs in our society is caffeine. It can be found in soda drinks, coffee, tea, energy drinks, and chocolate and many people use these caffeinated beverages as a way to wake up in the morning and to survive their day.

This week I’m talking about the dangers of caffeine. Even if you have 1-2 caffeinated drinks each day, that seemingly small amount is still causing problems in your body. That’s why in my earlier podcasts I encouraged you to cut back on the amount of soda and coffee that you drink.

Listen in as I discuss in detail the caffeine withdrawal symptoms, how to know if you suffer from caffeine intoxication, how to know if you are addicted to caffeine, and what contributes to caffeine sensitivity.

If you have any questions or concerns about this topic, feel free to leave a comment below and I will respond promptly! It’s difficult making these life changes but having someone to cheer you on often makes these changes easier :)

MochaccinoSo many of us depend on our morning coffee for that jolt of caffeine to get our day going. And have you noticed how many specialty coffee shops pop up in our neighborhoods?

But what, exactly, are those jolts of caffeine doing to our bodies?

This week’s guest is Carrie Lauth of Natural Moms Talk Radio and she tells us about her own personal story of how and why she gave up her daily coffee habit. More importantly, she shares some surprising benefits of giving up the caffeine.

Even if you don’t think you’re addicted to coffee or the caffeinated cola drinks, take some time to reflect if even just a little bit of caffeine is doing any good to your body or to your mental well being.

Think about the health risks of coffee and caffeine.  Simply starting slow by cutting out 1 cup of coffee or soda a day will give you noticeable health benefits.

Can You Lose Weight On A Raw Food Diet? Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

food - fruit n vegNo matter where you look – television, magazines, or even billboards – there are ads for weight loss companies and diet plans. With obesity being an epidemic, people are trying to lose weight in record numbers.

I’m pleased to continue my talk this week with Kevin Gianni of Renegade Health as we further discuss the benefits of eating a raw food diet and how it can help you to lose weight.

Kevin explains how a raw food diet improves your awareness about what you eat so you make much healthier choices. He also tells us about his friend who has lost 200 pounds (yes! his starting weight was 400 pounds!) in two years by changing his eating habits and following a raw food diet.

Kevin also answers listeners’ email questions, such as “What do you eat for breakfast on a raw food diet?”, “Can you still have the benefits of a raw food diet if you don’t follow it 100% ?” and “Is there any special equipment I need to follow a raw food diet?”

You don’t want to miss this show!
