OK, so to be honest, I'm writing these show notes while on the road after an amazing Hoosier ABA conference (more on that in a subsequent episode or two ;-). As such, I'll be uncharacteristically brief.
To risk hyperbole, I think that just about anyone can benefit from listening to this episode. My guest, Dr. Jim Moore, talks about his ups and downs (followed by more ups and downs... and ups) with weight loss. What I like about Jim is that he shares these deeply personal struggles in order to, in my estimation, help others who have similar problems.
Jim has gone from being overweight, to super fit, to morbidly obese... to now, where he is on a trend of fairly sustainable success. He acknowledge he still has room to improve, but check these pictures out, and you'll get an idea of how much progress he's gained:
And because I'm on the road, I unfortunately do not have my notes from our interview. That said, I do recall discussing an article titled, The Shame of American Education, by B.F. Skinner himself.
I also mentioned a podcast that I listen too called The Drive, with Dr. Peter Attia. This episode of the Joe Rogan Experience also features a debate between two Ph.D.s on what an optimal diet is (and if you don't know already, this podcast is not for virgin ears!).
If there are other references I missed, visit the Contact page and let me know what it was, and I'll update these show notes.
