In this discussion, Brian and Amy talk about solving thyroid problems, treating depression with diet, getting past weight-loss stalls, stress eating and other emotional factors that cause people to eat more, the great value of getting enough quality sleep, why it is not advisable to overemphasize diet to the detriment of mental or emotional health, finding an effective balance between restriction and liberality with your diet, discovering the root cause of your poor eating habits, and making realistic goals. Life’s Best Medicine According to Amy: “I think we take for granted the importance of physical contact—not just sexual contact, but just hugging, holding hands, touching somebody on the arm. That human connection—physically and emotionally. We can’t do life alone; we need other people. It is a blessing to have friends and family.” Thank you for listening.
