Is it better to buy organic meat for weight loss?   Should you avoid seed oils and eat gluten-free?   Is there value in eating to your menstrual cycles?   I cover these questions on today’s podcast. I discuss how easy it is for us to fixate on solutions that don’t actually fix the problem we’re trying to solve.   I’ll share why I believe none of that truly matters for weight loss and what you should focus on instead.   FOLLOW  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sashahighmd/ Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sashahighmd   WORK WITH ME  Join my Weight Loss Coaching Program for women, Best Weight https://www.sashahighmd.com/bestweight Recover Strong for Binge Eating - https://www.sashahighmd.com/bed Ontario OHIP-covered Obesity Medicine https://www.highmetabolicclinic.com

Many commercial weight loss programs operate on the assumption that you don’t know what you should be eating. So, they’ll give you a diet or meal plan to follow and that will make you lose weight.   That works – in the short term. But over 80% of people will regain that weight.   Alternatively, maybe you’ve tried using a food tracker, something like MyFitnessPal, or even a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to gather calorie or blood sugar data. Maybe you’ve tried the new AI tools like Lumen, or FoodRx.   I don’t deny that there is some value to gaining awareness and knowing your data.   If only we made food decisions based on data alone...   The core issue that isn’t solved with these approaches is human behaviour, especially feeding behaviour, isn’t based on logic, data, or even rational decision-making.   Rather, eating is based on our emotions, pleasure and an impulse-driven limbic system. Many of our food decisions are based on what will taste good and make me feel better when I’m stressed, not what is going to give me a balanced intake of nutrients.   Knowledge is never the issue. Implementation is the problem. And figuring out WHY implementation is a problem is the missing key to successful weight loss maintenance for most people. I offer guidance on how to get started on today’s episode!   ***   If you’re a woman, and you want to learn the skillset required to keep weight off and stop diet cycling, I’d love for you to join me inside Best Weight.

How can parents support healthy weight habits in children without causing self-esteem and body image issues?   Today’s special guest, Dr. Wendy Schofer, is a pediatrician and coach for parents who are worried about their family’s weight.   This episode isn’t what you expect. We don’t talk about how many minutes of screen time to restrict, or what foods to eat or not eat. Instead, Dr. Schofer’s approach is to take a step back, listen to the family as a unit, and help family’s discover their own approach to move forward together – through healthy relationships.   Dr. Schofer encourages families to consider: What is it you want more of? What do you want to bring into your life?   These questions form the basis for creating meaningful change.   Dr. Wendy Schofer is a pediatrician and the founder of Family in Focus. She helps parents who know diets aren't the answer but are tired of the constant stress about their family's weight, exercise and eating habits. Dr. Schofer teaches families tools to create better relationships with food, body and each other. By harnessing the power of play, neuroscience & emotions to address stress and habits, Dr. Schofer helps whole families create healthier lives, from the inside out.    Access Dr. Schofer’s Free Course “Weight Loss 101 for Families” one her website: https://www.wendyschofermd.com/   Find her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wendyschofermd Listen to her Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/family-in-focus-with-wendy-schofer-md/id1571510508   Article mentioned on today’s episode:   AHA SCIENTIFIC STATEMENT Caregiver Influences on Eating Behaviors in Young Children A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association Alexis C.

Coach McInnes was my guest on one of the most downloaded podcast episodes of 2023, Episode 72 titled “You Never Regret a Workout”.

My guest today is Dr. Amy Louis-Bayliss, a Canadian Emergency Room physician who has a passionate interest in preventative health, particularly for women. She shares how she realized the need for health advocacy after seeing so many patients in the ER who needed better health education to understand their own bodies.  Topics covered on today’s episode: What is “healthspan”? How is it different from “lifespan”? Are disease and sickness a given with ageing? What factors influence disease with age? What are some of the top health conditions that women face with ageing?

This is the first episode of SEASON 2 of the podcast. Thank you to all of my listeners! The podcast is now 2.5 years old and growing. Today, I’m sharing my personal story of transition and this new season that I’m in. I reflect on burnout, feelings of dissatisfaction and frustration – and how those emotions can be helpful in realigning with our values.   Quotes from today’s episode: “The greater the misalignment between your life and your values, the greater the dissatisfaction you’ll experience.” “In other words, the greater the divide between how you spend your time and what you say is important to you, the greater the frustration.” “Courage to act upon your values in the face of uncertainty and fear will yield so much joy and life on the other side of that decision.”   In Part 2, I’ll cover tips to stick with your health goals as you transition through different seasons in your life.

Have you heard of Tirzepatide? If you haven’t, I’m certain you will be hearing about it soon. Because Tirzepatide (trade name Mounjaro), is finally now available at pharmacies in Canada. We have been waiting a year due to the global shortages of this medication. Tirzepatide is a GIP/GLP1 dual agonist. It is very effective for improving blood sugar control and helping people with type 2 diabetes and obesity lose weight. This medication has shown outstanding blood sugar control and weight loss results according to the trials. I’m Dr. Sasha High, an obesity physician practicing since 2012. I’m one of the leading Canadian physicians in obesity and in this podcast episode, I answer all your curious questions about this new treatment for obesity including: How does Tirzepatide work? How do you take Tirzepatide? What are the side effects? How much does Tirzepatide cost? Will your insurance cover Tirzepatide? Should I switch over to Tirzepatide? References: Baggio LL, Drucker DJ.

Have you ever been fixated on a goal, but not loving the everyday journey of getting there? That was me up until this summer, until I just did something that changed my life… I signed up to run the Mississauga Marathon. The full distance: 42 km!  Prior to a couple months ago, a full marathon would not have even been within the realm of my imagination. Not even a thought. It has always been something that other people do, people who are much better runners than me. So how did we get here? I want to share with you the backstory and the lessons I learned to reach goals I thought were impossible. From believing this goal was impossible, to actually going for it. This can apply to any area of life, including weight loss, so join me in this podcast episode to hear them.   FOLLOW SASHAInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sashahighmd/ Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sashahighmd

When you think about the HOW behind losing weight, what strategies do you think of? Calorie deficits, diets, exercise. The medical options are also bariatric surgery. We are also hearing more about anti-obesity medications recently as another option.  The one tool that the media doesn’t talk about enough, is mindset coaching. Mindset coaching helps you overcome all the self-limiting beliefs of losing weight. It helps you unlearn the toxic diet culture messaging. The “all or nothing thinking”. The “falling off the wagon” kind of thinking. In this episode of the High on Life podcast, I am joined by a special guest - Dr. Siobhan Key. She is a family medicine and obesity medicine physician in British Columbia. She also coaches physicians who feel out of control around food and want to reach food peace while also reaching their health goals. We drive into the current landscape of obesity medicine in Canada and its limitations. We challenge the belief that medication or surgery is the only solution, emphasizing behavioral tools and the importance of creating a truly healthy lifestyle.  If you're tired of the conventional weight loss approaches and seek a more holistic, personalized, and effective way to achieve your weight loss goals, this episode is a must-listen.   LAST CHANCE TO JOIN BEST WEIGHT:https://www.sashahighmd.com/offers/NWRLvY22?coupon_code=LASTCHANCE FOLLOW   Dr. Siobhan Key's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsiobhankey/ Sasha's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sashahighmd/ Sasha's Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sashahighmd

Many years ago in my obesity medicine practice, I had a realization. Just telling people what to eat was never the answer. Diets alone don’t work. You go all-in on a new diet, just to fall off the wagon a few weeks later and lose the same 10 pounds on and off. The problem was, diet culture was fuelled by shame and self-punishment, not self-compassion. The problem was a lack of emotional processing tools, so food becomes the way to decompress. The problem was that most of the time we live our lives on autopilot, and health is the very last thing on a long list of "to-do's". And the problem was, we set unrealistic expectations, then beat ourselves up when we fail them - not realizing that our negative self-talk and guilt is the fuel for self-sabotage. I founded my signature Best Weight program, on a mission to solve all of these issues. The thing is, this deeper inner work takes time. Best Weight is not a quick-fix dieting program (that just leads to more fat gain over time). It's a longterm solution to a chronic problem. We help you solve the root issues - so you never have to diet again. Registration for Best Weight is closing on November 24th. After that date we will not be accepting new clients. We don't know when we'll open our doors again. If you have been on the fence about joining Best Weight, now is your last chance to join. We will close the doors on November 24th at midnight.

Can you relate to this?  Feeling like it’s “not fair” that you have to work so hard to eat healthy, when other people don’t seem to think twice. Being envious of other people who seem to eat whatever they want and lose weight. Thinking “what’s the point of doing all of this?” It may sound shocking, but eating junk food is not “more fun”. If it truly was more fun, then why do we want to make changes? The reason is because there are real negative consequences to not fueling our bodies properly. Those hyper-palatable, highly processed food-like products do not feel good in our bodies. Food engineers have created these foods to generate quick dopamine, but it does not feel good after that fleeting moment. Diet culture is overdue for a new mindset shift. Join me in this podcast episode to work through these limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck on your best weight journey.

We've been on a journey with my five-part podcast series called RETHINKING OBESITY. For our final week of this series, we are focusing on medical therapy for obesity.  With all the media coverage that anti-obesity medications have received recently, it is no surprise that this has been a long awaited topic. Often, people assume that just improving one's lifestyle, like eating healthier or exercising more, is sufficient for weight loss.  But that's a misconception. The brain plays a significant role in weight regulation and appetite control, making it challenging for some people with obesity to shed excess weight, despite their best efforts to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Genetics, a history of yo-yo dieting, and certain medications can contribute to this physiological resistance to weight loss. This is where medical therapy comes into play. Obesity is a medical condition and should be treated as such. Just as you would take medication for heart disease or diabetes, obesity may require medical treatment for some individuals.  In Canada, we have five approved anti-obesity medications. Join me in this podcast episode to hear more about the obesity treatment available, how it works, and its effectiveness for weight management.   FOLLOW & WORK WITH ME  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sashahighmd/Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sashahighmdBest Weight for Women - https://www.sashahighmd.com/bestweight

Welcome back to the "RETHINKING OBESITY" series. This is part four of five of this month's series where I'm covering everything from defining obesity as a medical condition to conversations with your family doctor to effective treatment. This one’s for anyone who has tried diet after diet, and nothing works. You think, “there must be something else wrong with me”. The truth is, it's not your fault. Commercial diets were never designed to work long term. If it was, then you wouldn't be told generic eating rules and forced to buy their meal replacements. Because obesity isn't a lifestyle choice, it isn’t a lack of willpower. Obesity is a medical condition. And where there is a medical condition, there is also medical treatment. That’s what I’m talking about in this episode. It’s so much more than just diet rules and meal replacements. There are three pillars of effective treatment, listen to learn what they are.   FOLLOW  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sashahighmd/Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sashahighmd WORK WITH ME  Best Weight for Women - https://www.sashahighmd.com/bestweightRecover Strong for Binge Eating - https://www.sashahighmd.com/bedWeight Loss for Men - https://www.sashahighmd.com/mens-weight-loss-coaching

Welcome back to the "RETHINKING OBESITY" podcast series. This is part three of five. In this episode, we cover what bloodwork and tests are expected in an obesity assessment. You will learn about important tests beyond BMI for a comprehensive obesity exam. It's not about pinpointing one hormone or factor that's solely responsible. Instead, it's a combination of multiple factors, which I discuss in this value-packed episode. While it may sound disappointing not to have a quick fix, the good news is that effective treatment is available. A comprehensive approach, including behavioral training, psychological support, and medical intervention, can yield positive and lasting results. Join me for part four of the RETHINKING OBESITY Series where I dive further into the pillar of treatments for obesity. Here’s the topic overview of my 5-part series, RETHINKING OBESITY: What is Obesity?How Do I Talk to my Family Doctor about my Weight?What bloodwork and tests are expected for an Obesity Assessment?What are the pillars of treatment of Obesity?What Obesity Medications are Available in Canada?   FOLLOW Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sashahighmd/Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sashahighmd WORK WITH ME Best Weight for Women - https://www.sashahighmd.com/bestweightRecover Strong for Binge Eating - https://www.sashahighmd.com/bed

Did you know that it takes an average of 11 years for individuals with obesity to discuss their weight with their healthcare provider?  This was according to the Canadian ACTION Study in 2018. It also revealed that 74% of participants believed that obesity management was entirely the individual's responsibility. This common perception creates a significant barrier to effective treatment. This mindset leads to self-blame and the mistaken belief that more willpower, dieting, or exercise will magically solve the problem. Welcome back to the "RETHINKING OBESITY" podcast series. This is part two of five. In this episode, I dive into what I really mean when I say “your weight is not your fault” and how to effectively advocate for yourself. Obesity is not a character flaw or a lifestyle choice. It's a medical condition that deserves understanding, empathy, and effective treatment. Here’s the topic overview of my 5-part series, RETHINKING OBESITY: What is Obesity? How Do I Talk to my Family Doctor about my Weight? What bloodwork and tests are expected for an Obesity assessment?
