Taking charge of his well-being. Randy Jackson made a pledge to live a healthier lifestyle after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2002.

Its a curse to be saddled with a disease thats life-threatening and that you cant completely get rid of, though you can certainly manage it, the former American Idol judge wrote in his 2008 book, Body With Soul. But its a blessing to get that huge wake-up call. After that day in the ER, when my doctor burst the bubble Id been living in, I couldnt lie to myself anymore. Right then and there, I began my journey toward better health.

Jackson, who weighed 350 pounds at the time of his diagnosis, underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2003, a procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes part of the digestive system so less food is absorbed. Since having surgery, the bass player has maintained a 100-pound weight loss, but it wasnt always easy.

In 2008, he told WebMD about the temptations he faced returning to American Idol after the procedure. After the show, everybody hangs out and eats and drinks. There are all kinds of sandwiches plus chips, cheeses, cookies, cakes, candy, beer, wine, he said. Despite the abundance of junk food on set, Jackson shared that the other Idol judges were a source of positive encouragement. Simon [Cowell] is always saying, We are ordering lunch, bring Randy a Dunkin Donut and 12 milkshakes. We joke about it, but they are also very supportive.

The record producer isnt one to completely cut out certain foods he opts for moderation instead. Never say, I will never have another piece of chocolate because it wont happen. And as soon as you say never, there is a binge coming, he told WebMD, adding that he sates his sweet tooth with the occasional chocolate with frozen yogurt.

After getting his health on track, the Journey bassist wanted to help others do the same. He founded Unify Health Labs in 2019 to do just that. In a blog post on the Unify Health Labs website, Jackson said his celebrity status gave him access to health specialists that others might not get to meet.

I was able to talk with top health experts: physicians, nutritionists, fitness experts, biologists, and more, the session musician wrote. They helped me a lot on my journey. And I wanted to share this expertise and information with as many people as possible.

Jackson added, Ive truly been blessed by life, but, next to my children, getting healthy was the best thing that ever happened to me.

This tour also gave Kreischer an excuse to hang out with his comedy friends. We sit around and make each other laugh, he said. And everyone just roasts me. Im an easy target. Im oblivious to most things.

In each city, they do something fun. In Bend, Indiana, they visited Notre Dame. In Louisville, Kentucky, they checked out Churchill Downs. In Atlanta, hell be with Nikki Glaser, Mark Norman and Big Jay Oakerson but as of the interview, he wasnt sure what they planned to do.

Why tour and just sit in your hotel room? he said. I want to go out and have fun! (He may be older but fun has preceded him. He was profiled in Rolling Stone magazine in 1997 as an uber party man at Florida State University, an article that inspired the film National Lampoons Van Wilder in 2002 starring Ryan Reynolds.)

This tour, he said, is a labor of love for me. He isnt really paying himself but providing his friends market rate appearance fees, gift bags, tour buses and private jet travel.

How is he able to get away with this? Netflix has compensated him handsomely for four specials so far. They are subsidizing my entire life, he said. I dont know where Id be without them. And they always have your back as an artist.

Kreischer, who grew up in Florida, has Georgia ties via his wife LeAnn, who grew up in Bowdon (population: 2,685 in 2020). They named one of their daughters Georgia. LeAnn, when not in Los Angeles, stays at a lake house in Carroll County.

She raises chickens, he said. Shell wake up early to make biscuits with sorghum syrup for the girls. Shes forever a small-town chick. You can take the redneck out of Bowdon but you cant take Bowdon out of the redneck.

Last summer, Kreischer finished shooting a movie The Machine, based on a story from 1995 when he said he supposedly robbed a train in Russia with the Russian Mafia. Its a comedy bit that led his fans to nickname him The Machine.

Like Will Ferrell, 49-year-old Kreischer enjoys going around topless whenever he can despite (or because of) his generous beer belly. My body is falling apart, he said. I just started working out. Hard. I had surgery on my elbow. I did my own stunts in the movie. I tackled a dude down a flight of stairs and tore my triceps. Im a year from surgery. I can now bench press my personal best. Im back 100%.

He said fellow comic and podcast king Joe Rogan once offered him $200,000 to drop below 200 pounds and keep the weight off for a year. He turned it down. I didnt want to sit down to eat and always have Joe Rogan in my head. I couldnt do it, he said.

Would he have done it for $2 million? Maybe. Ten million dollars in a heartbeat! he said.

The challenge is his inordinate love for food, which he brings up often on his podcasts, notably Bertcast and 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer.

His latest obsession is pasta carbonara. Ive been eating it for breakfast, he said. It has bacon, egg and cheese!

He said podcasts came along at the right time for his skill set: talking. A lot. I can go three hours, no problem, he said. Thank goodness I am friends with really smart people who got me to do a podcast. My first paycheck from ad sales was more than I was making hosting a show on the Travel Channel. We dont pay managers, agents or lawyers. There is no overhead.

His original podcast set up cost all of $800 in equipment, he said.

And he can do whatever he wants on his podcast. He can interview his fellow comics or historians or his dad. He has experimented with different formats. One time, he tried an idea where hed review all the tabs on his Internet browser. That worked well. Another time, he entered a Starbucks with a recorder and tried to eavesdrop on people. That bombed.

You find out from fans pretty quickly if something works or not, he said. When you fail, the fans laugh over the failure, not at you.

The only downside of all his yapping: Ive burned material in podcasts that would have been great on stage.

With most things in life, too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. When it comes to healthy weight loss, a balanced diet, ample hydration, regular exercise and enough sleep are all required. Along our weight loss journeys, many of us seek supplementation to provide necessary vitamins and minerals, but experts warn that overdoing it when it comes to one supplement in particular can mean slower weight loss and a more difficult experience when working towards shedding pounds. Read on for tips and suggestions from Dr. Liz Jane, MD, health and nutrition expert of Eve Mag and Michael Garrico, certified personal trainer, nutritionist and co-founder of Total Shape.

The 100+ Best Beauty Launches Of 2022

While our bodies and bones definitely need vitamin D every day, taking too much of a vitamin D supplement could impact potential weight loss more than you might think, Jane says. "Vitamin D3 plays a critical role in calcium absorption and metabolism," Jane acknowledges, and as with most vitamins, "too little vitamin D can lead to bone problems such as rickets (a form of scoliosis)."However, she stresses, "high doses of vitamin D3" when you're trying to lose weight can be harmful because "they can trigger liver enzymes that convert cholesterol into sterols or estrone (which can lead to cardiovascular problems)."

Garrico agrees, and adds that either only takingVitamin D pills and no other supplements or taking too much of thevitaminis the "worst way to go about taking weight loss supplements."Though many people who want to lose weight "indeed have lower amounts of vitamin D in their bodies," he says, it hasn't been "proven scientifically that it might promote weight loss."

Having higher levels of Vitamin D beyond 4000 IU a day can lead to "nausea and weakness," he says, and this might lead to irregular meals and digestion, which greatly impacts the ability to lose weight.

While taking vitamin D (and being wary of your daily amount), Garrico and Jane recommend prioritizing Omega-3 capsules in your daily routine."These contain essential fatty acids that help regulate your body's metabolism," Garrico advises. "It as well helps control your appetitethe combination of the two will help your metabolism to burn fat," he concludes.

Excerpt from:
The One Common Supplement You Should Have In Moderation If Youre Trying To Lose Weight - SheFinds

Modern lifestyle is largely sedentary in nature, owing to which many of us fail to meet our daily physical activity requirements. The impact of it has been further bolstered by the Covid-19 pandemic that has introduced us to a hybrid work culture where we spend a lot of time at home.

This compromise on physical activity bears a significant impact on ones weight. Once weight gain sets in, it becomes very difficult for people to shed the extra kilos. Added to this, increased weight also brings along its own set of nasty health risks such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease among others. While most people aim to lose weight quickly, real success lies in losing weight gradually and steadily. Healthy weight loss is an ongoing lifestyle that includes portion control on meals, healthy eating patterns and regular physical activity.

This makes it very important for people looking to start their weight loss journeys to choose the correct method. Currently Allurion is one of the most trusted brands in the country and it has been designed the right way to help people get on the road to weight loss and better health.

Q.1 Tell us about how Allurion's weight loss method has been developed and how is it effective in shifting the scales?In 2009, in their second year at Harvard Medical School, Shantanu Gaur and Sammy Levy started to rethink popular weight loss perceptions. Being a qualified doctor, I really appreciate the novel thought they carried. To better understand the journeys of overweight people or those struggling with obesity, Shantanu and Sammy did something unusual. They started listening to their patients' stories, and with this, their product and method kept evolving and has now boiled down to a simple 15 minutes walk-in method. It is now transforming thousands of lives worldwide.

Q.2 As a weight loss expert, what other steps should a person take to manage their metabolic health?There are specific steps that a person can take to help boost their metabolism to some extent. For instance, they should eat more protein, have a nutritional diet, have a proper sleep cycle, stay hydrated, exercise and also pay attention to their fitness.

Q.3 Tell us about Allurion's research and clinical trials in weight loss and metabolic health.Allurion sets you up for long-term weight loss success. After approximately 16 weeks of adapting the method, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that patients lose 10-15% of their total body weight on an average. It improves the metabolic function of the body to initiate weight loss. Allurion has successfully treated more than 80,000 people and has been accepted in 58 countries. It is a method for weight loss that sustains and has recently made its way in India.

Q.4 Tell us how one can expect to lose weight through the Allurion Method?It starts with an easy-to-ingest Allurion swallowable capsule a somewhat larger soft vegan capsule that can be taken with the help of a glass of water. Once it is taken, a simple X-ray is done to ensure if the capsule has reached its proper position. This proprietary capsule is a technological breakthrough that has taken years of research and hard work to develop. It contains a deflated balloon (made of extremely safe, medical quality materials), and is attached with a thin catheter, through which water is filled into the balloon. Once filled, the balloon takes up a volume of about 550 cc in the patient's stomach. It creates a feeling of fullness and reduces food intake to that extent. Naturally, it takes away hunger and it means people eat less food at mealtimes. The starting BMI for undergoing the Allurion Method is 27 and up, with the best results between 27 and 35. And yes, the Allurion balloon degrades itself inside the stomach. In about 16 weeks, it deflates itself and gets flushed out automatically, leaving no traces whatsoever.

Q.6 Tell us about your journey in the field of weight loss and metabolic research.As a young medical professional, I realized that obesity is a disease that also brings in several comorbidities. In 2008, I resolved to help people who were wanting to lose substantial body weight. I am glad that I am termed as one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons in the Asia Pacific. I specialize in bariatric, metabolic and robotic surgeries. I also perform endoscopic procedures for the same purpose. I am credited with performing nearly 17,000 bariatric surgeries. I also introduced the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), a non-surgical weight loss procedure in India.Q. 7 Help our readers understand the scientific reasoning behind the Allurion weight-loss method.Not surprisingly, studies have found that hunger is the driving factor behind diet failure. Dieting is difficult and often affects several aspects of your life, including your social life and relationships. The Allurion method reduces the feeling of hunger during the approximately 16 weeks it is in your stomach, which means you will feel more confident and lower your risk of overindulging. As they say, it takes three weeks to form or drop a habit and then self-control takes over. Allurion empowers you to take charge of yourself.

The method, combined with your healthcare team and nutritionist supporting you, allows you to recalibrate your relationship with food. Allurion has more success than dieting alone because patients feel less hungry, fuller more quickly after eating, and will not have hunger attacks typically experienced when dieting.

When combined with intensive weight-loss strategies, the Allurion method leads to nearly 2.5 times more weight loss in 16 weeks than when undertaking an intensive weight-loss plan alone. Seventeen per cent of patients undertaking intensive weight-loss strategies alongside the Allurion method have achieved a weight loss of over 20% of their total body weight.

Q. 8 Help us understand what weight loss through the Allurion method entails. How is it different from weight loss surgery?Allurion is a complete weight loss method that comprises a combination of various approaches to losing weight that sustains. This innovation is a scientifically proven swallowable capsule that is easy to take and helps you quickly take off those stubborn kilos.

The swallowable capsule helps you lose weight whilst training your body towards a better lifestyle focused on sustaining it. On the other hand, weight loss surgery is an invasive procedure that causes permanent changes in your system to push your body towards losing weight by changing the absorption and consumption of food in your body. In my opinion, and as I recommend to my patients, bariatric surgery is the last resort.

Q.9 There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet about weight reduction procedures. What, according to you, should prospective consumers look for before zeroing on a particular procedure?Gaining weight owing to a sedentary lifestyle and other habits such as playing video games, watching movies, eating snacks and partying with friends is not something anyone wants. To lose those extra kilos, people would generally advise you to have a regular diet, maintain an exercise routine, walk, run, swim, hit the gym, do yoga, or opt for either ayurvedic treatment or liposuction and surgery. The list is endless and unfortunately the irony is that different people lose weight differently and none among these methods can guarantee weight loss.

Weight loss expert, Dr. Mohit Bhandari on metabolic health, and the globally acclaimed weight-loss innovat - Economic Times

It can be a secret weapon for those with weight loss goals, but for many people the answer to the question, what is non-exercise activity thermogenesis? is as much of a mystery as whether theres life on Mars.

Often acronymized as NEAT, this invaluable health tool is far simpler than its name suggests. In laymans terms, it refers to calories burned during everyday activities rather than formal exercise (also known as exercise activity thermogenesis or EAT). For example, the energy you expend during a walk to work, cleaning the house or even fidgeting while you sit down all fall under the NEAT umbrella. If you invest in one of the best fitness trackers (opens in new tab), youll be surprised to find how quickly all this activity adds up!

And, while many people pursuing health goals place greater emphasis on their time spent in the gym, laced into their trainers or racking up the miles on the best treadmills (opens in new tab), the contribution of NEAT to a balanced lifestyle should not be undervalued.

A study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine (opens in new tab) in 2007 highlighted the important role it can play in achieving a healthy body composition. Data supports the central hypothesis that NEAT is pivotal in the regulation of human energy expenditure and body weight regulation, and that NEAT is important for understanding the cause and effective treatment for obesity, states James Levine, the Director of the Rare Disease Institute at Fondation Ipsen and author of the study.

Meanwhile, a study by the Mayo Clinic (opens in new tab) describes how by avoiding sitting, promoting motion, and engaging in simple, repetitive, and creative activities, a significant amount of extra calories may be expended that can reduce weight and perhaps prevent the cardiovascular and metabolic complications associated with obesity.

While weve already provided a brief overview of what NEAT is, we asked Foodspring (opens in new tab) nutritionist and founder of pH Nutrition Liam Holmes for his definition of the concept.

It is the energy expended for everything we do outside of exercise, Holmes says. Pretty much anything that creates (calorie) burn can be classed as NEAT. It ranges from walking around the house to walking the dog, gardening, playing with your kids, doing general chores and even fidgeting.

The number of calories burned through NEAT will vary enormously depending on an individuals situational factors. For example, someones job will have a huge impact on their total daily energy expenditure; a laborer who is on their feet carrying out physically demanding tasks will expend far more energy than an office worker who remains seated for the majority of the working day.

The number of calories burned can vary widely depending on the individuals job, Holmes says. He references figures from an article published in Best Practice and Research Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (opens in new tab), saying: This is one of the key determinants as someone who is desk bound will average around 400-500kcal (each day) compared to a builder or farm worker who can burn up to 2000kcal.

Through this, he says, NEAT is often responsible for burning more calories than formal exercise or EAT - although your energy expended through EAT varies depending on the type and duration of exercise you are doing.

The amount of energy burned during exercise has numerous variables such as how much effort you are putting in, your skill level and the type of training, Holmes says. If you cycled for an hour and just plodded along, compared to someone who was pushing really hard, the calories burned could range from 400-1200kcal.

For the most part though, it is only athletes participating in long duration endurance exercise or very high intensity training multiple times a day who will burn more calories through EAT than NEAT each day.

Holmes says NEAT is an essential tool for those working towards body recomposition goals, such as weight loss. This is because, while all but the elite athletes among us will have a limited time each day to work out, there are many things we can do outside the gym to burn calories.

We have to remember there are two ways to create a calorie deficit, Holmes says. Decreasing energy in and increasing energy out. In other words, consuming fewer calories through food and burning more calories through increased daily activity levels (EAT and NEAT).

Increasing your NEAT and factoring it into your day is a great way to create a calorie deficit without having to reduce your intake even further. It is also a far less stressful way of increasing energy output than adding more exercise into your routine. Research has shown those who maintain a higher NEAT are able to maintain their target weight more successfully than those who have a lower NEAT.

A study published in the Journal of Exercise Nutrition and Biochemistry (opens in new tab) in 2018 reinforces this point. It states: NEAT is a highly variable component of daily TEE (daily total energy expenditure) and a low level of NEAT is associated with obesity. NEAT enhances lifestyle, and variations in individual and environmental factors can significantly affect daily energy expenditure.

Considering the multitude of health benefits that NEAT has to offer, Holmes overriding piece of advice for those looking to increase their non-exercise activity thermogenesis is disarmingly simple: Get moving!.

You can make substitutions in your everyday life, such as walking or cycling rather than driving, or taking the stairs rather than jumping in a lift, to increase your total daily energy expenditure. Another option is investing in a standing desk, or one of the best walking treadmills (opens in new tab), so you can walk as you work.

Flaxseed is a plant-based food that contains antioxidants, healthy fats and fibre. It is popularly known as a 'functional food', which means that it can be eaten to boost health.

Today, flaxseed is available in a number of forms like oils, powder, tablets, seeds, capsules, and flour. It helps to prevent constipation, diabetes, high cholesterol among several other conditions.

Flaxseed has antioxidants, lignans, fibre and protein, alongwith polyunsaturated fatty acids. Consuming flaxseeds may help to reduce the risk of various conditions.

Here are some benefits of Flaxseeds:

Lowers the risk of heart diseases: Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), the Omega-3 fatty acid is present in high quanties in flaxseeds that helps to prevent the deposition of cholesterol in the blood vessels of the heart. It helps to reduce the inflammation in the arteries.

Improves blood sugar levels: The soluble fibre present in flaxseeds helps to improve blood sugar levels as it slows down digestion. Thus, it helps to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus.

It helps in weight loss: The soluble fibre in flaxseeds slows down the process of digestion and hence we feel full for a longer period of time. We end up consuming less, thus helping in weight loss.

Helps with Hot Flashes: Hot flashes and night sweats are commonly observed in women going through menopause.Lignans, the plant compounds in flaxseeds, have a weak oestrogen effect, which is found to ease hot flashes in post-menopausal women.

Reduces the risk of cancer: Plant compound, lignans in flaxseeds are found to be effective in reducing the risk of breast cancer in females and prostate cancer in males.

Celebrity nutritionist Pooja Makhija had earlier shared a recipe of Flaxseed Wraps that could help one consume them easily without sacrificing the taste.
