Welcome to The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent conversations.
In today's episode of The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I sit down with my friend, Dr. Ted Naiman. He's a board-certified family physician and has had a large medical practice for many years. He's really unique in his perspective. He's a physician that has implemented, as a primary focus, diet and exercise for health optimization into his practice. He's the author of the book, The PE. Diet, which if you haven't read it, you definitely should.
This episode was a fat loss masterclass. We discussed so much, all related to fat loss.
Like, number one, how do you measure if you are over fat? Something you could do yourself. Number two, what to eat to lose weight? What exactly to eat? Number three, the best exercises for weight loss. We discussed this and so much more.

Thank you to Vivo Health for sponsoring this episode of the show.
I am bringing to you my favorite Vivo Barefoot shoe. It is what I've been using for the last year to train in. I'm going to tell you what. Vivo Barefoot is on a mission to create regenerative footwear. Why do I love Vivo Barefoot? It allows me to lift in a way where I feel the ground. I never have to worry about if my shoe is going to be unsteady. I'm able to get in a good squat position. I'm able to do a good deadlift. I'm able to train closer to what I would do if I was, in fact, barefoot. And studies show that foot strength increases by 60% in a matter of months just by walking around in these Vivo Barefoot shoes. I love these shoes. They have a range of shoes for kids, adults, walking, hiking, training, everyday wear. You will not be disappointed. And in fact, go to vivobarefoot.com/dr. Lyon and they're offering a 100-day trial on their footwear. That's vivobarefoot.com/dr. Lyon and you can use the code DRLYON15 for a discount on their footwear. Thank you to Thesis for sponsoring this episode of the show. If you have been following me for any amount of time, you know that I love Thesis. It is the world's first customized nootropic company. What does that mean? Nootropics are nutrients found in nature or the human body. They enhance cognitive function. We talk a lot about the body. We talk a lot about muscle health optimization. You're not going to get there if your brain is not functioning. If you are looking for enhancing your thinking, your focus, your energy, your mood, Thesis is the way to go. I use this company personally.
I recommend it to all of my friends and my patients. By the way, while many companies take a one-size-fits-all approach, Thesis doesn't. It's not one supplement. There are multiple different formulations in which you will go to their website. You will take a quiz. You will answer questions and you will get a starter kit with four different blend recommendations to try over the course of a month. They are an incredible company, incredible people.
Head over to takethesis.com/ a Dr. Lyon. That's takethesis.com/ a Dr. Lyon. You can get your own customized thesis starter kit.
Also, you can use the code Dr. Lyon at checkout for a discount.

Oh, wow.
I mean, let's see. I mean, obviously, the big buckets in the weight loss jar are diet and exercise, but were you looking for something more specific than that?
