The Real Skinny on Fat is a 9-part documentary series that uncovers the truth about FAT and how it affects your health, your weight, and your aging.
In the following video, I sit down with the lovely and brilliant, Dr. Felice Gersh. Dr. Gersh is a Board Certified OB/GYN currently working with the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, California. She is also fellowship trained in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona School of Medicine. As she says “from the beginning of my career, my approach to medicine has been inclusive, which is why I have always incorporated treatments rarely found within the confines of conventional American medicine.” This is one of two times I have had the pleasure of sitting with Dr. Gersh. I find it endlessly fascinating and truly inspiring to listen to her vast wealth of knowledge. She is such a pleasure to talk to and possesses an amazing mind.
Many of us may refer to our “body clocks” as simply getting a good night’s sleep - early to bed, early to rise, lest we wake up sleepy and groggy. Well, let me tell you, brain fog is the least of our worries! The truth and facts surrounding our circadian rhythm, and the importance of quality sleep at the right time, is at once absolutely shocking and fascinating. Our sleep patterns really do have a domino effect on almost every organ in our bodies. It affects our minds and mental health, our emotions, and so much
more.
Dr. Gersh covers many topics in this talk, including hormones, fasting, autophagy, weight loss, disease prevention, cognitive issues, diet and nutrition, eating times, insulin, sugar, microbiomes, anti-aging, even P.M.S. and its relation to circadian dysfunction. There is a wealth of information here that I hope will motivate you to make small changes in your lifestyle that will yield big health rewards.
So, the next time you find yourself sitting in bed with your laptop at 2 a.m., and guzzling coffee just to function the following morning/afternoon, think twice and watch this interview. It may change your life in ways you couldn’t possibly imagine. As the doctor herself so eloquently puts it, “it’s not just about our health, but also about our happiness.” Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy this!
