Old habits die hard right? I still find it shocking that despite the current and steady stream of consistent scientific evidence you are still scared to make fat a major part of your diet. But on the other hand, I get it. I mean, after all, fat has been vilified for so many years, by so many people that you respect (your teachers and your doctors) that it's hard to go against the low fat mantra. I remember being in public school and our Phys Ed teacher brought in this disgusting yellow lumpy jelly and said: "This is hardened body fat. You will get this in your arteries and on the sides of your body from eating too much fat." Talk about leaving a mark...that was almost 30 years ago and I still remember that event. So it's no wonder that most of us are completely fat phobic. But, science (good science, and a lot of it) is proving time and time again that fat is NOT an enemy of health. On the contrary, fat is looking more like your health's best friend. I'm not advocating eating as much fat as you want; especially the unhealthy kinds. But, I am saying that there is much more harm done to your body from avoiding fat, then there ever could be from including good fats in your diet. I don't mean this to be a jerk, but the reality is your body requires fat. If you don't get it, there will consequences...potentially major ones. On today's podcast, we cover the 7 Signs You Need To Add More Fat To Your Diet What we cover

This is it! The secret 'reveal' that you've been waiting for is finally here. Someone is going to spill the beans on the one very specific thing you need to do in order to stick to your diet forever. In fact, we can go even deeper than that. This 'secret' will help you not only stick to your diet but also your workout regime, and anything else that requires will power. Heck, it will also make you wealthy without working. Hopefully, by now, you can tell that this idea I speak of, this secret gem, is not real at all. There is no secret, no magic pill, special cream, surgery, extraction, etc., that will get the results that you want. There is just work. But that doesn't mean you can't become the person who does the work and succeeds. The purpose of this podcast is to share with you the strategies that I've found most helpful in helping me stick to my diet. What I Cover

Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care. -Theodore Roosevelt In this episode of Life By Design, we are going back a bit in the history of the podcast with something we used to call a Baby Bullet episode. If you remember the magic bullet kitchen utensil, you would recall that it was advertised as something where you could put many ingredients in it, and it would chop them all up with no problem. The idea for today's show is to take a random topic generator, hit 'generate topic' and talk about whatever comes up. Why are we doing this, and what's the benefit for you? There was an article published in the Washington post recently on a book title "Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes A Difference". The theme of the book is that patients who have doctors they perceive as compassionate tend to recover faster and attain better health. Full disclosure, we have not read the book but found the article interesting since it affirms a personal belief of ours that having a better relationship with your health care provider leads to better outcomes in general for the patients. The podcast is an effort for you to get to know us better. It's a way to get more familiar we who we are as people and how we apply to Life By Design principles to many different areas.

Being a parent is a fantastic experience in many ways; sometimes, because it's challenging and other times because you can experience love and joy beyond any measure possible. Children seem to be the great divider of time in our lives - almost like the B.C and A.D of us. There was your life before you had kids where you had time, other interests and could remember doing things and there's your life after kids where you're busy, on a schedule, and always have another part of you that's out there in the world...and whether you're 90 and they're 70, they will always be your kids. One of the things you're forced to deal with when you have kids is your own mortality, what will happen to them if something happens to me, and what do I want to leave them with after I'm gone? Most of the time, 'things' get thought of when you ask yourself that question: your house, your investments, your possessions, etc. That is an essential line of thinking because those things are important. Yet, there is something more important than that - your values, principles, and ideas. Of all the great Industrial families who made a massive amount of money - only the Rockefeller fortune still exists to an even higher level than it did when J.D was creating his wealth. This is because J.D understood that things are a result of the way you think. So he set in motion a play that would only allow his heirs access to the Rockefeller trust if they proved they were worthy and could handle it. Because we are humans - philosophy, ideas, and values matter, which ones are you leaving to your kids? What We Covered
