The Dr. Rob Show - Healthy Weight Loss Podcast

 In this episode of the Dr. Rob Show we answer a listener e-mail asking about wether or not hormone replacement therapy can increase cancer risk, specifically after a radical hysterectomy. Our listener who is in her early to mid 40's needed a hysterectomy to save her life from Endometrial cancer. Fast forward a couple years she is now experiencing menopausal symptoms. However her doctor does not want to put her on hormone replacement because of increased cancer risk. She asks Dr. Rob if he agrees with what they are telling her. We talk not only about hormones, but also how the liver can also play a big role in some of these related issues. The liver is a major detoxifier in the body and plays a huge role in many other dysfunctions. We talk about how optimizing liver function will help with most problems you may be dealing with. Dr. Rob explains how bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is not dangerous as far as cancer risk goes. He also talks about other options you can choose from if you don't want or need a hysterectomy.       In This Episode of The Dr. Rob Show.... Discuss Cancer risk from hormone therapy Discuss the connection between the liver and the rest of your body Discuss alternatives to a hysterectomy What do you think? Do you take hormone replacements?

In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show we go back to the weight loss topic. One of our listeners wrote in and mentioned how it is hard for him to "let go" of the caloric restriction mindset. We realize that many people may be having this issue. What Dr. Rob "preaches" is to let go of the typical caloric restriction mindset because it is detrimental to your long term weight loss success. As we start down our weight loss journey we typically set specific goals that we want to achieve by a certain time/date. It may be easy to achieve those short term goals, but as time goes on it seems harder and harder to hit those next short term goals we set for ourselves. When we get to that "plateau" point, we begin to get down on ourselves which can prevent us from continuing on. Dr. Rob explains why we can hit those goals in the beginning but have a harder time down the road. He explains that its not about manipulating the calories in calories out philosophy. The point is to focus on the food choices primarily. Its not about how much you eat, but what you eat that really matters. Its ok to look at calories, but not to focus on how many calories you consume in a day. If you eat less and exercise more, you will have failure in the long term sense. Our bodies gained weight over time. It takes time to lose the weight. In common society we are made to think we can lose 20 or 30 pounds in one month. This is completely the wrong information. Although it is possible to lose that much weight initially, it is unhealthy and it will kill your long term success. Dr. Rob teaches that weight loss is a lifestyle change not a diet. Diets are not meant to last, they can not last. There is a huge "learning curve" in changing your mindset from caloric restriction to lifestyle change. Once your able to get your mind on this new way of thinking is the first step. After that its all about what you eat not how much you eat.

 In this episode of the Dr. Rob Show we read and talk about an article from the Huffington Post titled, 'Meat Consumption And Cancer Risk Varies By Race, Study Shows'. In short the article talks about how women can have an increased risk of cancer the more meat they consume on a weekly basis. Dr. Rob explains how meat consumption is NOT detrimental to your health and explains why this article isn't something you should be focusing on. As we have talked about in past podcasts, it is the sugar/carbohydrate consumption that increases your risk of certain types of diseases. We as humans are meant to consume more meats and fats and little carbohydrates. With our carbohydrate driven society, we are more prone to diet based diseases as apposed to infectious diseases you would see 100+ years ago. Dr. Rob explains why this article holds no value and also what types of food you should be eating in order to increase your chances of not obtaining diseases such as cancer and diabetes.       In This Episode of the Dr. Rob Show.....

In this episode of the Dr. Rob Show we talk about different ways you can increase your marathon training by actually doing less work. We incorporate how to lose those unwanted pounds into your weekly training schedule. Dr. Rob explains that eating less and exercising more is actually doing your body more harm than good. He also mentions that wether your training for a marathon or just working out on a normal schedule, you can be working out too much and lessen your training ability. Working out too much and limiting your calories primes your body to gain weight. So when you increase your caloric intake you will end up gaining weight, wether or not you are working out. Your body feels like it is being "starved" and as soon as you start consuming more food, your body puts the extra calories directly to fat storage.
