Notable Quotes
“If you want to worry about the ‘how’ of any of this stuff—yes, there are practical tips—but it needs to start with the ‘why it’s being done…’ It starts with the ‘why.’”
– Evan Transue
“People under the age of 18 that go to bed past 12AM…they’re 42% more likely to be diagnosed with depression than those who go to bed before 12AM. And the problem is, the leading cause of suicide is untreated depression, and that’s the leading cause of death in people ages 10-34 in America.”
– Evan Transue
Episode Summary
When we look at our health from a holistic perspective, it makes sense that one aspect will affect all the others, like how our dietary and lifestyle choices affect the state of our gut health, which can then impact the state of our mental health, which can then cause weight gain and even exacerbate existing health conditions.
In this episode of This Podcast Burns Fat, we’re talking to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Youth Motivational Speaker, and Owner and Co-Founder of Bucks County Light Therapy Evan Transue to share with us his own health journey, how he reclaimed his health and upended several doctors’ “incurable” prognoses.
