monotonous manner and condescending tone. felt very flippant in the BRIEF mention of genetics being a reason for a body holding on to weight.... kind of a too bad for you feeling as they went right into "you need spirit and purpose". cool, thanks for telling me how lousy a person I am. hard pass on any other episodes. if this demeanor of host and discussion works for you, ignore my comment.
