Health and Wealth | SPECIAL EDITION A Different Perspective - Book Launch | April 6, 2024

Is there anyone that doesn't want to be healthy? Even if we don't want to be healthy for ourselves, we generally want those we love to be healthy and well -- our spouses, kids, parents, or other loved ones. But, it can be hard to tell, sometimes, how to be healthy.

This week, Dr. Patrick Flynn, D.C., turns the question on its head and invites you to look at health another way - from A Different Perspective. He postulates that everyone knows how to be healthy, because we all know how to be unhealthy.

Some of the steps to achieve the unhealthiest version of you include:

- Not sleeping enough: If someone is trying to be unhealthy, the first thing they should do is stay awake or go to sleep at a time that doesn't work with their unique circadian rhythm. As such, if you're trying to be healthy, you need to get enough sleep.

- Temperature-dependent glycemic index of carbohydrates: There's a reason why certain foods have to be heated up in order to receive the most nutrient benefit: After all, heating and cooling foods adjusts some of the chemical make-up. Doc walks us through how temperature can be used to our benefit (and detriment).

- Eat processed foods and neglect food allergies: If you've been around TWW for a while, you know that eating sugar, processed foods, and ignoring your food allergies could affect inflammation and pain. If a person wants to be sick, they should fill their daily meals with these foods: However, if health is the goal, everyone could benefit from keeping their meal prep empty of these ingredients.

- Move less: This is an easy one -- we all know that moving is important for health. What happens to the body when someone lives a sedentary lifestyle?

- And more!

Doc also talks about how this theory applies in other areas of life: How do you win at work? With your spouse? Your kids? Simple -- ask yourself what the easiest way to lose would be in these situations, and then do the opposite.
