THE PAUSE A NEWSLETTER THAT MAKES OUR THIRD ACT THE BEST YET STALL BUSTERS “Doc, I’ve been losing weight daily while on The HOPE Protocol, but I hit a wall this week. It always seems to happen when I get to this weight. I have a few questions. First, how do I know I’ve stalled? Second, what caused me to stall? Third, how do I break the stall?” Great questions. We stall for several reasons, and depending on what caused the stall, I use specific protocols to break through the stall. In today's...

THE PAUSE A NEWSLETTER THAT MAKES OUR THIRD ACT THE BEST YET SUGAR ALCOHOLS “Doc, you’ve taught me how sugar and artificial sweeteners adversely affect my hormones, weight, liver, and mind. I’m glad you didn’t slam sugar alcohol. We use xylitol, and we love it. It’s natural and has no calories." I took a deep breath and cleared my throat. “Sugar. Alcohol. Now, there are two words that shouldn’t go together. And their molecules shouldn’t either.” Their name even sounds ominous, I thought. “But...

THE PAUSE MAKING OUR "THIRD ACT" THE BEST YET FEAST MEALS “Doc, what I love about your program is that we can have days where I eat whatever we want. Are there rules associated with these days, and if so, what are they?” CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE! DANCE TO THE MUSIC! Life is supposed to be celebrated. I remember growing up and watching historic movies.

THE PAUSE MENOPAUSE, POPCORN, and ESTROGEN DOMINANCE “Doc, my P/E Ratio was 22. You told me that I was severely estrogen-dominant. Can you please explain to me what that means?” Great question!
