As the holiday weekend approaches and the family gathers, it's likely your food and lifestyle choices are going to raise some eyebrows.

 

“What’s wrong with bread?”

“What do you mean you don’t do cardio?”

“Stop being so selfish..”

 

… and on and on.

 

That's why this week, we decided to chat about how to handle those potentially awkward situations.

 

 

1) Why you shouldn’t try to save ANYONE, let alone everyone.

2) Why and how to keep your explanation simple.

3) Why you should walk away from outright attacks.

4) How to deal with the fear factor.

5) How to be self assertive and avoid being a jerk.

If you ever want to achieve something in life...accomplish your dreams, lose weight, quit smoking, find a special someone...

 

You are going to face challenges.

 

Today we bring on Life By Design Certified Doctor Brian Lanoue. Brian and his life partner Thea are 6 weeks into their brand new Vancouver office and, just like you,  are facing challenges.

 

How have they dealt?

 

 

1) What to do if you are not sure exactly what you want to be doing with your life.

2) The power of mentorship and why it’s vital to surround yourself with great people.

3) The power of planning, even if you CAN’T action it for YEARS to come.

4) How to stay positive when things get really bad.

Meat is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. It has played a major role in helping humans evolve into what we are today.

 

Yet… it continues to cause plenty of controversy and debate.

 

On today’s podcast Dr. Kreso and Dr. Jamie try something new…

 

Kreso will become vegan...well, at least for the sake of this episode.  By playing the role of the devil’s advocate and using common arguments , he will try to convince Jamie not eat meat.

 

 

1) Is meat a legitimate cause of cancer?

2) Is meat a legitimate cause of heart disease?

3) Does eating meat make you fat?

4) Are ALL meats created equal?

 

I don’t know about you… but I love Netflix. I love that they are always creating something interesting and awesome.
