Curtis May joined our show today to discuss his approach to helping investors really lay out a plan and execute it well. He describes himself as a 'defensive coordinator' for wealth planning and he explains it incredibly well. He helps people set goals, find a path to achieve them, then execute each step. When a business owner or their team can relax about their financial health, other parts of their life can also improve. This concept is so important to grasp and made for a great episode.

Amy Eiges is a health coach and reformed chronic dieter who is passionate about helping others recover from the diet-binge-gain-shame cycle she struggled with for years. Since discovering ketogenic and low-carb lifestyle, she has lost over 200 pounds and has both reversed pre-diabetes and resolved lifelong depression. “When I was just starting out, facing 200 pounds to lose seemed insurmountable, and the idea I would ever be where I am now was unfathomable. Know this: I am not extraordinary. I just finally got the right advice, put one foot in front of the other and didn’t look back. I know now that it can be done, but after battling this war for 40 years I had lost hope that it was really, truly possible. I am living proof that it is.”

Amy shared her story with us and the story of the medical practice she's joined and how they work with employers to improve metabolic health of employees and de-prescription, reduce lost sick time and improve productivity. All of this decreases costs for group coverage plans and helps the businesses who are helping their teams.

The team at Toward Health has a proven, winning formula and can likely help your business too. Check out their links below and check out the Low Carb MD podcast for even more stories and to learn more about what they do.

Dr. Cyril Barch is a retired internal medicine and geriatric specialist who has decided to devote some of his time in retirement to encouraging people to put Advanced Medical Directives in place. AMD's are documents that instruct a medical team on what to do and not to do if you are medically incapacitated and can't make your own decisions. This document can help alleviate stress from family members and loved ones because you have pre-determined what will happen in this horrible situation. So many people don't know this type of document exists and just as many avoid the topic because it is unpleasant to talk about. But Dr. Barch is working to open those conversations, provide free resources and encourage businesses and teams to talk about this very important topic.
