In this episode, we explore the power of making that one decision that can your change your life forever.

As a health coach, one of the things I have uncovered is that many clients love to hide behind their issues, their ailments, their weight to protect themselves. We all hide in different ways, and it’s amazing that our body weight can often stop us from reaching our full potential. Weight loss is not a physical challenge, it’s a mental one.

Things start happening once we release the weight, or we let go of the identity of our ailment, other areas in our life start to open. Once we make the decision to drop the weight, it allows us to step into our future and WHAM…the flood gates start to open.

Our friends Alan and Angie Thomas join the podcast and share their personal stories and unique approach to weight loss. They do not tell clients what to eat or how to exercise. It does not involve any medication as they are not nutritionists or medical professionals, but they’ve found a formula for quickly shedding pounds permanently. Alan and Angie and their clients have had miraculous results.

Join Alan and Angie for their free training where they share a simple 5-step strategy for permanent weight loss. This was how they personally dropped a total of 192 pounds in 260 days and they have helped countless others do the same thing.

You’ll learn:

• The simple step-by-step game plan to drop hundreds of pounds
• Why the “perfect diet” is a myth
• How to break out of “food prison”
• How to change your eating habits for good
• Why excess calories are NEVER the root of obesity

In this episode we take you on another adventure to the White Mountain National Forest on the Coppermine Trail which is located on the Western side of Cannon Mountain in Franconia, NH. The trail leads to one of the most beautiful cascading waterfalls, Bridal Veil Falls. Here is the exact location if you find yourself in New England and are looking for an escape and a fun, family-friendly hike.

Not only is this a completely majestic hike in nature with the sounds of brooks and the smell of Balsam Fir trees, but it has a mystery associated with it. We share the story of the legendary movie star Bette Davis and how she found herself straying off of this trail many years ago and was rescued by a hiking guide and fellow New Englander, Arthur Farnsworth, who later became her husband. There is a mysterious memorial plaque hidden in the woods off of this trail which makes for a fun search. If you have any trouble trying to find the infamous plaque dedicated to Arthur Farnsworth, reach out to us and we’ll give you the exact GPS location.

One of our favorite aspects of hiking in this area, is it brings us to one of the most quintessential New England towns, Sugar Hill, NH. Some of our favorite places are Harmans Cheese & Country Store with their delicious, aged cheddar cheese and other delicacies and Polly’s Pancake Parlor, with the best pancakes around. Sugar Hill is also famous for their lupine festival in early June and their fabulous views of the White Mountains.

Hope you are inspired to lace up your hiking boots and immerse yourself in the beauty of the White Mountain National Forest or a destination closer to your home to embark on your own memorable adventure. Remember, nature has a way of nourishing the body, mind, and soul.

You’ve probably heard the term ‘Blue Zones’ based on a recent Netflix series, Live to 100 – Secrets from the Blue Zones, and the best-selling Blue Zones Cookbooks from Dan Buettner. The Blue Zones are locations around the world with the longest and healthiest living people, many of whom live to over 100.

These healthy, long living people do not pursue health and longevity as if it were a chore. Their health, longevity and sharp brains stem from their surroundings. We’ll explore what aspects of the Blue Zones lifestyles contribute to the ability to thrive as they age.
