 interview with dr pete scire brain balance center: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

On tonight’s show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about Neurobehavioral/Developmental Disorders from Dr Pete Scire with Brain Balance Center.

The Brain Balance Program is a comprehensive program which incorporates a unique multi-faceted approach to the assessment and the development of individualized intervention plans for children affected by the Neurobehavioral/Developmental Disorders such as ADD/ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, Tourrette’s Syndrome, PDD, Autism, Processing Disorders, and Learning Disabilities (i.e. Dyslexia).

Based upon the most current research their program works from a brain based model which recognizes that many of the children that are diagnosed with these disorders suffer a foundational imbalance or under-connectivity of electrical (brain) activity. This imbalance or under-connectivity occurs within and between the two halves (hemispheres) and/or large networks of the brain.

They believe that it is this imbalance of function, within and between the two halves of the brain which is often responsible for many if not all of the physical, cognitive or mental, and/or behavioral difficulties related to these disorders.

Based upon their comprehensive assessment the Brain Balance Program develops and implements a unique individualized program for each and every child. Each child’s program addresses their specific areas of difficulties related to the physical (sensory/motor) needs, bio-nutritional (digestive difficulties, nutritional deficiencies) needs, as well as neuro-cognitive (academics and behavioral) needs.

 interview with tiffany davis daily candy atlanta foodie vacations: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

On tonight’s show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about foodie vacations, low cal margarita’s and more from our good friend Tiffany Davis, Atlanta Editor of the Daily Candy. She had some great tips on how to stay at home and have your own Foodie Vacation. She called it a Foodie Vacay, but she is much hipper than me and can pull that off. She also told us how she’s dating a chef and now all her tips seem to be about food. Here are the notes she sent us on everything she talked about.

 1. www.bethennybakes.com
- ever watch the Real Housewives of NYC?
- Martha Stewart Apprentice finalist Bethenny Frankel whips up nutritious, luxurious recipes (she’s a celeb chef) that women are clamoring for after watching the show.
- She’s recently posted a recipe called “The Skinny Girl Margarita” that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

2. www.wildhibiscus.com
- packaged in spring water and shipped right from the aussie outback
- perfect when you’re tiring of being “good” and having wine spritzers. opt for one of these in some champagne or to spice up a spritzer

3. flax seeds are my newest obsession
- healthy food coaches love them because they literally can be sprinkled into just about ANY recipe, smoothie, dessert, or pasta dish and do nothing but add fiber to a meal, which can make you feel satisfied all that much quicker

4. take yourself on a foodie vacay even if you can’t afford a real one!
- www.moderndaymasala.com (pan asian classics like butter chicken and spiced cauliflower)
- www.currysimple.com (thai, indochine, and singaporean sauces)

5. grill, grill, grill!
- take fruits and vegetables out of the oven and onto meats instead of sauces and salty marinades.
- when it cools down, invest in a grill pan. they’re quick and cook food really evenly on top of adding a grill-like flavor to ‘em.

6. True Lemon/Lime
- new product that’s pure lemon, lime, and orange essence in a single serve pouch or shaker
- no cal, sugar, salt, or carbs!

7. Join a food co-op or start one
- if you were skeptical, gas prices might convince you now
- for a small member fee and about $25 a package, you have fresh vegetables and fruits on hand all the time

 interview with sarah brown planet smoothie: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

On tonight’s show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about Planet Smoothie and their 99 cent Smoothie Days from Sarah Brown. BTW that is not a picture of Sarah(on the right) - as far as we know. Since 1995, Planet Smoothie has fallen somewhere between refreshingly level-headed and sanely-visionary. “Fast fuel” on the go, for any diet or none at all.Low fat, low carb, low cal.High protein, high energy, high in vitamins and supplements.Fresh smoothies, healthy snacks, and, through their new Planet Smoothie Café locations, sandwiches and salads.

Just say ‘no’ to fat and grease. Planet Smoothie is trying to change the way the Planet eats.

Planet Smoothie is Kathie’s favorite Smoothie joint. She loves the Wheat Grass. Dr Fitness and her kept obsessing about how much they liked the smell. Dr Fitness is always talking about he drinks fruit smoothies at home. Now he can get them when he is on the road.

Sarah told us all about 99 cent Smoothie Days at Planet Smoothie. That’s when you can get inexpensive smoothies and not little ones either - you get 22 ounces of smoothie goodness one day each month throughout the summer. So go to their website to see when the next one takes place.

I called Sarah a Smoothie Sommelier and you can bet you can be seeing that tagline show up in their ads soon. The nice thing about Planet Smoothie is that they offer so many low cal and healthy choices. And they don’t give you a hard time if you want to mix and match ingredients. Like substituting blackberries for strawberries to save a few calories.

For more information please go to their website www.planetsmoothie.com. Planet Smoothie has drinks with fun names, lots and lots of fruit that are a perfect treat for the dog days of summer. They also have all the nutritional information on their website which will help you make an educated choice.

She offers up great advice in a friendly, fun informative way each and every day with her newsletter.She said one thing that has surprised her on the book tour was when a man approached her at a book signing in New York and told her he lost 100 pounds and had some amazing before pictures to prove it. Lisa is working on the sequel to the book and it should be out next year.

Lisa also gave our listeners her top 3 ingredients that should be in your cupboard if you want to cut some serious calories. First Unsweetened Original Almond Breeze a non-dairy beverage that has like half the calories of skim milk. Next Fiber One Bran Cereal - use this ground up instead of bread crumbs . And finally canned pumpkin to replace eggs, oil and butter when you bake.

We also talked about the recent theft of her favorite pants from her dry cleaner. The theft was caught on video and you can check it out on You Tube. And know she was not Punked - even though that was her first thought.
