Jul 25 – Forget Dieting!

Posted on July 20, 2020 by Guy

My guest this week is Candice Rosen RN with her latest book “Forget Dieting!”
Get a copy NOW

You don’t need to starve yourself to achieve a healthy weight. Candice Rosen invites you to tap into your own knowledge of how your body works to monitor your sugar levels and discover the sweet spot for your own nutritional needs. Weight comes off and energy spikes to new levels using her method!

Forget Dieting! eliminates the guesswork from weight loss and guides readers to improved health by teaching how to gather intel from your individual body to properly Data Fuel. By either using Rosen’s “tune in” technique or a glucometer, one listens to the body’s voice about whether what you just ate was healthy or unhealthy for you.

Ultimately, pancreatic health is the essence of the program. Keeping your blood sugar level in check by testing or “tuning in” ninety minutes after you eat a meal or a snack is the key to leaving dieting behind for good. The weight drops off, health improves, sleep deepens, and appearance becomes more vibrant.  Follow Candice on Face Book & Twitter

Candice Rosen–nurse, social worker and clinical health educator–talks directly to you whether you are a woman, man, or a family who needs to adapt a new lifestyle. The nutritional science in this book is fascinating and the recommendations highly relatable. The personal stories and insights of the author’s own journey to create her science-based Data Driven Fueling program help establish a healthy lifestyle so you can live and live better. — Marla A. Mendelson, MD, Director, Women’s Cardiovascular Health Program of the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine.

Jul 18 – GoSun Solar & Hot Dogs

Posted on July 13, 2020 by Guy

First up is Patrick Sherwin CEO and Founder of GoSun, an innovative company producing many solar powered products.  Patrick says:

GoSun creates innovative products that encourage fun, resilience and independence. We are passionate about our products and how they power our customers’ lives. Founded in a small suburban garage in Cincinnati, Ohio, we grew quickly thanks to our community of committed customers and shareholders, who not only believe in our products, but also use them to bring people together.

I’ll be cooking hot dogs on one of the most convenient and transportable GoSun cookers just outside the studio.  The GoSun Go® is the most portable solar oven ever. Using just the Sun, this ultralight solar cooker can bake, roast, steam, and boil anywhere. Solar Cooking in clouds and cold? No problem. Breakthrough solar technology that’s fast, reliable and portable. Cooking hot dogs with the SUN in a mere minutes, what FUN 🙂

A Solar Future

Although GoSun is still a small entrepreneurial business, we believe we should all do what we can, when we can. Since our inception, we’ve worked with dozens of nonprofit organizations to provide discounted solar cookers and other solar products to those that need them most.

GoSun has provided funding to support the efforts of The Houston Food Bank, Global Giving, and Operation BBQ Relief. In 2018, we made donations to The American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen to assist in Hurricane Florence relief efforts and to the California Community Wildfire Relief Fund to aid in the the camp fire relief efforts. We  provided 1,500 solar cookers to the American Red Cross to assist with relief efforts due to Typhoon Yutu.  We also donate money to Trees for the Future for every product sold to plant more trees  So far, we’ve helped plant over 40,000 trees.  Learn more at www.gosun.co  Follow GoSun on Face Book and Twitter

Patrick Sherwin has spent most of his career in renewable energy and founded GoSun in 2013 to create products and partnerships to help feed the world and bolster energy independence and social equality.  A solar designer, consultant, and developer, he is leveraging the knowledge gained in construction, science, engineering,  sales and marketing, and integration of renewables to develop solar cookers.

In the second half I’ll be talking to Eric Mittenthal President of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council

July is National Hot Dog Month!  Celebrate all Month Long with #WienerWednesdays

Established in 1994, the Council serves as an information resource to consumers and media on issues related to quality, safety, trivia, nutrition, preparation and recipes of hot dogs and sausages. www.hot-dog.org.   

Happy Hot Dog Month 🙂
