Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the fat burning man show where we talk about real food and real results.

Do you want to live a long time?

Long Jeviti may be a trendy buzz word but for the first time in generations our life expectancy is actually getting shorter.

Thankfully there's a great deal we can do to reverse this trend.

So if you're looking to maximize your lifespan and your health span, this episode is for you.

I'm honored to say that returning to the show today is an award-winning author of over 30 books and one of the world's foremost experts in functional and integrative medicine, Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman.

Dr. Gittleman's most recent book, Radical Long Jeviti, just launched and already hit number one new release in Long Jeviti and number one new release in physiology on Amazon.

Dr. Gittleman holds an MS in nutrition education from Columbia University, has the title of Certified Nutrition Specialist from the American College of Nutrition and a PhD in Holistic Nutrition.

If you're interested in preserving your health and aging gracefully, listen on.

But before we get there, here's a note that came in from one of our recent challenges in the Wild Challenge app.

Hi, Abel, I hope you're well. I'm feeling great, thanks very much. I loved your 14-day clean eating challenge. I eat pretty clean most of the time, but it makes you more aware of what you were eating when you have to write it down.

With the help of your challenges, I've lost 4 kg and definitely centimeters all over.

I didn't measure but did take before picks. We'll do an after pick tomorrow morning.

I can now get into shorts. I wasn't fitting into in January. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please let me know when your next challenges are. Have a great weekend.

Cheers, Cheybonne from South Africa. Wow, thank you so much for this note, Cheybonne. I hope that's how I pronounce it. I'm giving it my best shot.

I can't even translate centimeters into inches over here. So bear with me, but it's so true.

Just by tracking what you're doing, even just writing it down in an old-fashioned journal, or certainly taking pictures of your meals throughout the day, these kind of visceral tracking mechanisms can really help change your behavior because you're more accountable when you keep track.

It's so easy to just like ghost some food into your mouth without ever really noticing what's happening. Most of the things that we're doing throughout the day are actually on autopilot. And we don't have conscious control over a lot of our behaviors, even if we think we do.

So good on you for tracking and then most importantly changing your behavior and getting great results. That's so awesome.

So your question about the next wild challenge. We're going to be doing it monthly at least maybe even more often from here on out. We have the new wild challenge app.

You can find all of that over at fatburningman.com slash app. That's fatburningman.com slash a pp. We're really proud of our new wild challenges. We have people joining in from all across the world, whether here in South Africa or in Italy or anywhere else.

You can join in the fun as well. You get intermittent fasting trackers. Meal plans all laid out for you are community interactivity with me and other coaches where even sending out goody boxes free wild superfoods to the winner of our challenges doing a bunch of giveaways with future greens, collagen cocoa, vitamin D stack, even hugable bacon pillows and much, much more.
