What does it really take to lose weight… AND keep it off?

You see, many people will follow crash diets to lose the extra pounds—and they do, for a time. However, as soon as they start drifting from their meal plans (or as life and its ups and downs take over), they find themselves regaining the weight.

This usually results in a toxic, hellish cycle fraught with guilt, unhealthy food and lifestyle choices, and even food addiction issues.

The secret all these people are missing is simple: to lose weight, you need to have an identity transformation—you need to change the way you see life, food, and most importantly, yourself and your worth.

And no one knows this better than my guest on the podcast this week, the brilliant Drew Manning.

You might know Drew from his many TV appearances on Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, and The Tonight Show. He is also a New York Times bestselling author, a fitness expert, and the creator of Fit2Fat2Fit.

In this episode, Drew and I will be discussing the story behind Fit2Fat2Fit, the science of food addiction (and how to break it), why some food cravings go beyond just simple hunger, how to lose weight without losing muscle, and so much more.

Are you ready to take your weight loss journey into your own hands?

Then run, don’t walk, and listen to this episode now!

Imagine if there was a molecule so powerful it could control blood flow, brain function, and even how fast you age.

Well, I’ve got some news for you: This molecule does in fact exist, and it’s called nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide is an essential element of the complex equation that results in a healthy body, and yet, so many of us are unknowingly deficient of it.

Without it, our odds are pretty bleak—chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and diabetes are much more difficult (if not impossible) to prevent.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. In fact, here is the good news: you CAN restore your nitric oxide.

How?

This is exactly the question I aim to answer in this episode of The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast, and to do so, I invited an expert, the amazing Dr. Nathan Bryan.

Dr. Nathan is a renowned nitric oxide researcher, biochemist, and author. He has published over a hundred scientific papers, holds numerous patents, and has over two decades of experience in nitric oxide research.

In this episode, he’ll be sharing with us the basics on nitric oxide, why you might be deficient in this important molecule, how to supplement nitric oxide properly, and so much more.

Are you ready to take your health into your own hands?

Then tune in now!

Key Takeaways:

Introduction (00:00)

Meet Dr. Nathan (00:58)

Why nitric oxide? (02:31)

Why nitric oxide levels are declining (12:15)

How to prevent the loss of nitric oxide (29:54)
