In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy shares tips to help you sleep better. A great tip for the adult or child who is having trouble sleeping through the night is to find time to exercise during the day. A recent sleep study showed that children and adults fell asleep faster, slept longer and slept deeper when they exercised that day. So if you have millions of thoughts racing through your head and are rolling around all night long skip the Ambien or Tylenol PM and go for a jog during the day… you’ll sleep better at night.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain why your kid is probably not getting enough Vitamin D and what you should do about it. About 1 in 5 kids are deficient in Vitamin D. Especially children raised in the Northeast because they don’t get as much sunlight as kid in the Southern parts of the US. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to osteoporosis. You can get more Vitamin D by eating more salmon or fatty fish, some cereals and egg yolks. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Lauren Miller. Lauren was diagnosed with Stage three breast cancer at age 38. A diagnosis that came just five days after her divorce became final. She was given a 50-50 chance of survival. As a mother of three children Lauren wrote of her spiritual journey in Hearing His Whisper. Lauren’s mantra “I Choose Life” helped her get through this harrowing ordeal. She has also used her battle with cancer not to feel like a victim but to empower her to live life in the moment. She actually said that cancer was a gift.

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Rob Luka RN, author of the book How to Help Children Overcome Fear in a Medical Setting. Rob is a registered nurse with lots of first hand experience helping kids feel comfortable at the doctor’s office.
A great tip Rob shared was for the parent to present a calm demeanor and not look frightened in front of the child. Rob says the child is looking to the parent for visual cues to let him/her know what is going on. So if the parent looks panicked then the child is going to feel scared as well. Rob also explained that having the parent demonstrate the procedure first the child can see that it isn’t so bad and will go along. this works especially well with showing your child how to swallow a pill or get his/her blood pressure taken. He has worked with lots of kids who have juvenile diabetes and has helped their families manage the regular injections and blood testing they have to deal with. His goal is to educate parents and nursing students on some proven techniques that will make children of all ages feel safer and less fearful in the doctor’s office.

We haven’t updated our SobeFit magazine Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Weight Loss Challenge in awhile because I think it’s over – we did not lose 50 pounds combined – we lost over 30 pounds combined which isn’t too shabby. Marta Monetenegro, the founder of SobeFit, is our coach will be coming on soon to recap. We are still trying to lose more weight so please send your tips and words of encouragement or sabotage to adam @ drfitnessandthefatguy.com or to @FatGuy on Twitter. And remember to check out SobeFit magazine at www.sobefitmagazine.com
On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with a guy who wrote into our website complaining that we should go to diet jail for telling people about Holey Donuts – he also said we were mean to Gary Taubes. This critic has a major man crush on Gary and said we spent too much of the interview goofing on him rather than letting him share his low carb wisdom. He also says our show is a sham and we are the reason everyone is overweight. So you don’t want to miss his part.
The real show began with Rory Freedman, author of the NY Times Bestseller Skinny Bitch who came on to talk about Skinny Bastard. which is that kick in the butt men need to lose wight and get buff. Rory has a bunch of great advice for men who need to drop a few pounds. to learn more about this book please go to www.skinnybastard.net
Next up we had on Robert Davis, author of the Healthy Skeptic. Robert is an award winning health journalist. He shared some tips on how to understand who to believe when it comes to health and science claims. It’s like they said in All The President’s Men – follow the money – who is paying for the study. To learn more about Robert and his book please go to his website www.everwell.com
Next up we had on Thomas Madden, inventor of the Knife and Fork Lift. While all our listeners know Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy have been talking about weighted silverware since we started the show, Thomas actually went out and invented it. He is a doer and we are just dreamers. His mini barbell like fork and knife set will definitely slow down your eating, just like we have been saying for years. To learn more please go to his website www.knifeandforklift.com
We closed the show with Rob Luka, author of the book How to Help Children Overcome Fear in a Medical Setting. Rob is a nurse with lots of first hand experience helping kids feel comfortable at the doctor’s office. He has worked with lots of kids who have juvenile diabetes and has helped their families manage the regular injections and blood testing they have to deal with. To learn more please go to his website www.robluka.com
