Girlfriend We Gotta Talk

DYI Personal Training

All month we’ve been focusing on “Living Healthy” – from moving your body to better nutrition to unplugging from your crazy schedule, we’ll laugh and learn our way to a healthier, happier you. 

Thanks to our fab guests Teresa Tapp and Renee McLaughlin who shared about the T-Tapp workout; Suzanne Saxe-Roux, author of “Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Healthy, Joyful Living”; The Nutrition Twins Lyssie and Tammy Lakatos, co-authors of “The Secret to Skinny”; and Dr. Lavinia Rodriguez, author of “Mind Over Fat Matters.”

But, wait, there’s more!  Want to lose weight and wish you could afford a personal trainer?  To wrap our month on Living Healthy, today at 3 pm Eastern on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we’re talking with LeAura Alderson, creator of the My Trainer Fitness and My Gym Trainer line of do-it-yourself personal training workouts.  We were so impressed with her easy to follow, affordable approach that we had to share it with you!

   

 

Mind Over Fat Matters

We try to lose weight, really we do.  We have good intentions, we even have a new diet plan, but we still get off-track.  Why? 

That's why we’re talking with Dr. Lavinia Rodriguez.  She says it’s because of how we THINK about food. 

In addition to being the author of Mind Over Fat Matters:  Conquering Psychological Barriers to Weight Management, Dr. Rodriguez is a clinical psychologist who has been helping people for more than 30 years to overcome their eating issues and create a better relationship with food. 

 

The Secret to Skinny with the Nutrition Twins

We all know losing weight isn’t just about exercise, it is also about nutrition.  And there’s one place in your diet we’re now learning is key to shedding pound:  Salt!

For years it was believed that salt was primarily associated with high blood pressure.  But, now research shows that high salt diets are associated with more fat cells on the body.  What's more is that salt causes your fat cells to become denser, so it's harder for you to lose weight. Even worse, many supposed "healthy" foods are high in salt, just waiting to attach themselves to your waist, hips, and thighs.

Yikes, we needed details!  And we got them when we talked with The Nutrition Twins Lyssie and Tammy Lakatos, registered dietitians, personal trainers, and co-authors of The Secret to Skinny:  How Salt Makes You Fat and the 4-Week Plan to Drop A Size & Get Healthier with Simple Low Sodium Swaps. 

   

Creating a Healthy, Joyful Life with Courage & Croissants

Have you ever had a moment when you have “Had it!” and you desperately want something to change?  That’s what happened to Suzanne Saxe-Roux and her husband Jean who were reeling from the stress of commuting, schedules, individual careers, and a young daughter.  They so wanted sanity that they did something radical. They left their lifestyle with a housecleaner and gardener behind, and moved to a small village in the south of France.  Not for a vacation but to hit their life’s “reset” button. 

On Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we talked with Suzanne who is now back in the States, implementing what she learned and inspiring others with her brand new book Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, a Story and Life Guidebook.

 

15 Minutes a Day to Get Fit. Seriously.

As you know, we broadcast Girlfriend We Gotta Talk each week with our goal to somehow, someway, increase your sanity, confidence, and fun.  But it’s hard to experience any of this if your physical, mental, or emotional health is in the tank.  That why all this month we’re focusing on “Living Healthy” – from moving your body to better nutrition to unplugging from your crazy schedule, we’ll laugh and learn our way to a healthier, happier you!

We know your schedule is crazy busy, but do you have 15 minutes a day to start feeling fit?  Sounds too good to be true.  Today at 3 pm Eastern on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we’re talking with Teresa Tapp, author of Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes, and Renee McLaughin, expert trainer, who say it can happen using Teresa’s proven T-Tapp workout program.  The program is all about exercises designed to use multiple muscles that focus on body alignment.  When we heard there was no jumping, no weights, and no dieting and that loosing inches at an average of one clothing size per month with no loose skin, we had to find out more!  Check out a sneak peak below.
