In today's episode we take a deep dive into weight loss, nutrition, and overall wellness with Amy Wilson. Amy is a Board-Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, certified fitness professional, and nutrition coach with over 30 years of experience.
During our conversation, we explore the hot new trend of weight loss drugs, such as Ozempic, challenging the notion of quick fixes and discussing the concerns surrounding their use. Amy provides valuable insights into why she takes a different stance on this popular trend.
We also look at other tools and techniques for weight management, including intermittent fasting. Amy shares common misconceptions and separates what works from what doesn't. We debunk the myth of "Calories in and Calories out" as a sole weight loss strategy and explore the role of macros in a balanced approach.
Amy reveals her perspective on the best practices for health and weight management, emphasizing the importance of personalized plans that focus on good nutrition and take us beyond the fixation on the scale. Delving into nutrition, we talk about the importance of eating primarily whole foods and limiting processed foods and we distinguish between processed and ultra-processed foods, understanding their impact on our well-being.
Amy also shares her insight around chronic inflammation, its causes and provides practical tips on how to reduce it as well as gut biome, its role in our health, and tips on maintaining its optimal state. As we wrap up, Amy shares insights on aging gracefully, offering top tips for a healthy and fulfilling life.
