And whereas the aim of at present’s weblog submit isn’t to get all political on you, I did wish to spend a little bit time speaking about one explicit facet of the incoming administration that I’m fairly excited to see in motion—the MAHA motion, also referred to as the Make America Wholesome Once more motion.
As a result of whether or not you like President Trump or can’t stand the man, if you happen to’re studying this weblog I’m going to imagine you care about well being. And if you happen to’ve learn this weblog for any period of time, you in all probability already know that I’m not an enormous fan of Massive Meals or Massive Pharma, and that I firmly consider that the unchecked energy and greed of these two mega industries is the first trigger of the present well being and weight problems epidemic on this nation.
However MAHA is promising to alter all that, and that will get me VERY fired up.
Are you able to shed weight and heal your physique for all times (with out weight-reduction plan, medicine, or making your self depressing)?
Our free on-demand video coaching will stroll you thru how you can make this THE 12 months you set well being targets…and preserve them.
So let’s discuss it. And possibly by the tip of this weblog submit, you’ll be fired up too.
Hey there, and welcome again to the Thinlicious weblog! For these of you who don’t know me, my identify is Ruth Soukup, and I’m the founding father of Thinlicious and the creator of the Skinny Tailored System, in addition to the New York Instances bestselling creator of seven books.
And I’m additionally a 46 previous girl who struggled for nearly TEN YEARS to shed weight and get wholesome.
It’s a battle I fought for SO lengthy, always attempting every part I knew how you can do to shed weight and get wholesome, one eating regimen after one other, typically shedding a couple of kilos than all the time gaining it proper again.
The one factor I DIDN’T attempt was Ozempic, however that’s solely as a result of it didn’t exist but! However consider me, had it been round I in all probability would have been first in line.
As a result of truthfully, I used to be so determined to repair that piece of my life.
And if you happen to’re studying this weblog since you too are fighting this, then I do know you understand precisely what I’m speaking about. How not feeling good about your physique and the way in which that you feel and look begins to influence every part else in your life.
It’s arduous to really feel good in your garments, you’re all the time self-conscious and self essential. You begin avoiding photos and even eager to look within the mirror. You begin saying no. You begin hiding. It principally begins eroding your confidence and your life.
And on prime of that, you simply don’t FEEL good. You’re drained on a regular basis. You are feeling bloated and gassy. You battle with heartburn and indigestion, or typically even persistent ache and complications and irritation.
It’s simply this vicious cycle. It’s arduous to get motivated to do one thing about it since you’re simply exhausted on a regular basis, however there’s no option to cease feeling exhausted until one thing you really change one thing.
Consider me, I GET it.
And for me, it wasn’t till I made a decision to take a completely totally different strategy that issues FINALLY rotated. The largest factor was that I lastly stopped searching for a fast repair, one other crash eating regimen, and as a substitute determined to do some actual analysis into the science of weight reduction, and into why we acquire weight within the first place.
And truthfully, what I found SHOCKED me as a result of it’s SO totally different than every part we’ve ever been informed about what’s wholesome and never wholesome, and what makes us shed weight and what makes us acquire. Our entire lives we’ve been informed to eat much less and train extra, and that weight reduction is simply energy in and energy out, however that’s not true. Not even a little bit bit. Particularly for ladies, and ESPECIALLY for ladies over 40.
As a result of because it seems, the factor that regulates our weight ISN’T energy, it’s hormones.
And so, as I began to alter the way in which I eat in a manner that restored steadiness to my hormones and reversed insulin resistance and healed my intestine, the load simply began to return off.
With out weight-reduction plan. With out medicine. And with out making myself depressing.
I misplaced 40 kilos in six months, and for the primary time EVER I didn’t simply acquire all of it proper again. I’ve simply maintained that weight reduction for years now. The truth is within the years since, although I’ve technically been in upkeep mode, I’ve slowly dropped a couple of extra kilos in order that my whole weight reduction now, 4 years in is 49 kilos.
I feel and appear higher now, at 46—nearly 47 years previous—than I did at 36, or in all probability even 26. My pores and skin is clearer and brighter. I’ve SO a lot vitality. I sleep nice. I don’t get each day complications anymore. My joints don’t harm.
And let me inform you mates, after fighting this for SO LONG, it felt—and nonetheless does really feel—like FREEDOM.
It’s why I’m SO freaking captivated with this work. It’s why I began Thinlicious and my podcast. As a result of I can’t assist however wish to share it, and to assist different girls discover that very same freedom.
But it surely has additionally unlocked a ardour within me to actually get to the TRUTH of what’s really happening, and precisely WHY so many people are fighting this EXACT SAME THING.
And truthfully it’s a little bit bit like taking place the rabbit gap, you understand? You simply begin to go deeper and deeper and also you begin seeing all these connections and also you begin to understand that it’s not simply YOUR expertise.
There’s really one thing a lot larger happening.
YOUR battle to shed weight and get wholesome is a really a results of forces on this nation which were conspiring in opposition to you for principally your WHOLE LIFE.
Specifically, Massive Meals and Massive Pharma.
And if you happen to REALLY wish to go down the rabbit entire additional and get into the nitty gritty of the entire conspiracy, it is best to know that I’ve recorded a WHOLE podcast episode JUST on this subject—it’s known as “How Massive Meals and Massive Pharma Are Actively Conserving You Sick and Fats,” the place I lay out precisely what they’ve accomplished and the way they’ve accomplished it, and I cite all my sources.
However I’m not going to rehash all of that at present.
As a result of at present I’m feeling fairly optimistic and fairly fired up.
The truth is, proper now, at this very second that this weblog submit goes stay, I’m in Washington DC for the Presidential Inauguration, and particularly to attend the MAHA ball that occurs tonight. I’ve by no means been to a Presidential Inauguration earlier than, however I wished to see it for myself. I wished to be there for this second in American historical past.
However actually, I simply wish to cheer on the Make America Wholesome Once more motion, as a result of it’s LONG overdue. And truthfully, I can’t for the lifetime of me perceive why anybody can be AGAINST discovering a option to scale back company corruption within the meals and drug industries and assist Individuals get wholesome once more.
As a result of even when it’s not good, you possibly can’t deny the truth that what we’re doing proper now ISN’T WORKING. Not even a little bit bit. Individuals are sicker and fatter than we’ve got ever been.
80% of the grownup inhabitants within the US is now chubby. 90% of the inhabitants has some type of Insulin resistance. Over 50% of the inhabitants is diabetic or pre-diabetic. We’re dying from preventable ailments which are a DIRECT RESULT of the greed and corruption of a system that desires to maintain you sick and fats. And even when we’re NOT dying, we’re not LIVING.
Our greatest years are being STOLEN FROM US as a result of we don’t really feel good. And it’s time to do one thing about it.
What the MAHA Motion is all about
So let’s speak particularly for a couple of minutes about what components of this motion I believe we should always all be most enthusiastic about.
Addressing the Root Causes of Power Illness & Weight problems
The primary large piece of the MAHA motion that I’m SO enthusiastic about, as a result of it’s actually what I discuss week in and week out on this weblog, is the dedication to addressing the ROOT CAUSES of persistent illness, each in our meals provide and the environment.
Should you learn this weblog frequently, you understand that I typically speak in regards to the “Massive Three” root causes which have wreaked havoc on our well being, and that you want to repair if you wish to get shed weight, get wholesome, and reverse persistent illness. Insulin resistance, hormonal steadiness, and intestine well being.
And every part the MAHA motion desires to do and says they will do is true in step with that, from eliminating poisonous elements from our meals provide that proper now are working rampant and completely uncontrolled—the inflammatory seed oils, preservatives, and poisonous dyes—to creating extra transparency with meals labels so that individuals can really SEE what sort of decisions we’re making with our meals.
There are SO many elements at present allowed in American meals which have actually been banned in nearly each different nation as a result of they’re KNOWN to be so harmful and deadly. Pals, it’s CRAZY that we’ve got allowed this, however once more, it’s as a result of Massive Meals has large energy. They’ve purchased off the media and so they’ve purchased off the federal government. And they also do what they need. Which is is fill our meals with poisonous crap, designed to make us sick and preserve us addicted.
And on prime of that, the way in which they MARKET all this poisonous meals makes us THINK we’re making good decisions after we’re really not. Think about you’re a mother on the grocery retailer who buys a field of cereal or granola bars as a result of it says issues like “made with entire grains” and “coronary heart wholesome” so that you assume you’re getting one thing good on your youngsters. However now the label says “accommodates excessive ranges of sugar and meals dyes, that are identified to trigger ADHD in youngsters.” Would you purchase that? In all probability not proper? In order that’s a superb factor. Simply pressure corporations to be HONEST about what crap they’re placing in our meals.
As a result of it’s not a coincidence that the steep rise in illness and weight problems has coincided with the rise of poisonous chemical substances in our meals. And getting that crap OUT of our diets WILL have an effect on our nation’s well being, even when we don’t make some other adjustments.
So to me that’s enormous.
However that’s actually only the start.
Selling Preventative Well being
As a result of what I actually recognize in regards to the MAHA motion is the concentrate on PREVENTATIVE well being, and never the REACTIVE strategy to well being care that has outlined this nation for the final 50 years.
Proper now we stay in a healthcare world that might principally be outlined as illness administration. If there’s one thing unsuitable with you, there’s in all probability some type of capsule that can assist you handle your signs. However these capsules received’t heal you. They’ll simply assist the signs, so you must preserve taking them to really feel higher. They usually usually include an entire bunch of negative effects, which implies you may need to take MORE capsules to handle these negative effects. It’s such a vicious, evil cycle.
As a result of the truth is that FOOD and wholesome LIFESTYLE adjustments is one of the best drugs we’ve got. And nearly EVERY persistent illness that’s on the market proper now could be prevented or reversed by making the precise way of life adjustments.
Now we’re lastly getting an administration that not solely understands that, however really desires to DO one thing about it and create a well being system that’s targeted on illness prevention, wellness, and longevity via nutritious diet and way of life adjustments.
The MAHA motion desires to cut back our reliance on prescription drugs and likewise empower individuals to rely much less on drugs and extra on holistic, pure practices that may really assist to heal you.
Proper now the ability of Massive Pharma is so huge that they’ve actively prevented individuals from having access to details about pure or holistic alternate options, whether or not it’s uncooked milk or important oils or any variety of herbs and dietary supplements which were confirmed to have enormous well being advantages. They’ve made it unlawful to even discuss, and so they’ve run smear campaigns, aided by the media, in opposition to anybody who does discuss.
They’ve additionally actively prevented individuals from studying about the actual dangers of their merchandise. We noticed that in the course of the covid epidemic when something anybody mentioned in opposition to the vaccines was instantly focused as misinformation. And but now nearly all of the issues that individuals have been elevating about vaccine accidents and even the efficacy of the covid vaccine have been confirmed to be true. However we weren’t allowed to speak about it.
And that’s simply unsuitable. Everybody deserves free entry to REAL data. Everybody deserves the non-public autonomy to be totally knowledgeable about all of the alternate options. Should you select to take prescription drugs fairly than go for pure cures, that ought to be your selection too, however it is best to really have the ability to weigh the professionals and cons for your self.
So I don’t know what that’s going to appear to be in observe precisely, however I’m HERE FOR IT.
So carry on preventative well being and full transparency about ALL the choices.
Since you don’t HAVE to be sick. You don’t HAVE to really feel like crap on a regular basis. There’s a higher option to stay.
Let’s make that our new regular.
So yeah, the concentrate on PREVENTATIVE HEALTH is lengthy overdue.
However the great things retains coming.
Combatting Company Corruption
As a result of one other large piece of the MAHA motion is their dedication to exposing and dismantling the company takeover of the federal government companies which are SUPPOSED to be defending public well being and the surroundings, however are actually simply being paid off and managed by Massive Meals and Massive Pharma.
MAHA is dedicated to creating transparency and accountability, and to decreasing the affect of company cash in politics and media to make sure that these companies, just like the FDA and the CDC are literally working within the PUBLIC curiosity, and never simply doing the bidding of companies like they’re now.
I can’t even inform you how enormous that is, if they really handle to perform it. As a result of to me it’s completely CRIMINAL that that companies that ought to be standing within the hole for us as Individuals, the very companies that ought to be PROTECTING us and searching for us, have been purchased and paid for and offered us a invoice of products.
So I say BRING IT ON. And hopefully this additionally means eradicating the company corruption from media spend as effectively. As a result of proper now the 2 largest spenders BY FAR in promoting are Massive Meals and Massive Pharma. They do what they need as a result of they’ve paid everybody off.
And I can’t wait to see that change.
Restoring Regenerative Agriculture
Lastly, one other large facet of the MAHA motion that I’m glad to see is their dedication to revive regenerative agriculture. Proper now industrial farming will not be solely wreaking havoc on the surroundings, it’s creating low-quality meals that has fewer vitamins and extra toxins.
MAHA desires to incentivize sustainable farming practices, enhance soil well being, scale back chemical utilization and improve biodiversity with a purpose to produce more healthy meals and a more healthy surroundings.
It’s kinda arduous to argue that this isn’t a superb factor throughout, proper?
Actual meals, grown in a sustainable manner.
Good for farmers. Good for the people that eat the meals. Good for the planet.
I prefer it.
Last Ideas
So in a nutshell, these are the large causes I’m SO excited for the Make America Wholesome Once more motion, and why I believe all of us ought to be.
As a result of the actually cool factor about this motion is that it’s not about politics. It’s not about whether or not you lean left or lean proper. It’s about HEALTH and really FIXING this enormous drawback that exists in our nation proper now, reversing this epidemic of illness and weight problems that’s destroying all of our lives.
It’s about taking our nation again from the forces of giant companies that DO NOT CARE that we’re getting sicker and fatter yearly. The truth is, they have fun it. As a result of it makes them more cash.
It’s really a motion that transcends political divides.
And that makes me eager for the way forward for our nation.
So I hope you’ll have fun with me at present mates, as a result of in my humble opinion, MAHA is unquestionably a superb factor.
And if you happen to’re on Instagram, remember to regulate my tales as a result of I’ll be be sharing what I can from the MAHA ball tonight.
I’ve mentioned for a very long time that I’m on a mission to alter the world by serving to girls remodel their well being, and I’ve by no means felt extra dedicated to that aim.
The reality is that while you’re not wholesome and also you don’t FEEL good, it impacts every part else in your life.
However while you do, it opens up 1,000,000 totally different doorways. Out of the blue you’re not restricted by a scarcity of vitality or persistent ache or the embarrassment and disgrace of being chubby. Out of the blue you are able to do something.
That’s what I would like for you, and for each girl within the nation.
And at present I really feel like we’re one step nearer.
So thanks for listening to my coronary heart. I’ll be again quickly , however within the meantime, if you happen to’re feeling fired up and able to make an actual change in your individual life, our TAS program is the proper place to begin.
