of the US population has gained an average of 10-15 pounds during
the time of the COVID19 lockdown.

priorities is more important than ever.
Our guest, celebrity wellness professional, physician, and author
Dr. Ann Kulze shares with us some inspiring tips to get us all
back on the path to wellness, freedom, and fun.
We summarize topics with 5 mantras that will help you to create
more energy and vibrancy in your life. Enjoy the show!
Mantra #1: COVID is yet another reminder from the universe that
we must prioritize wellness.
Mantra #2: To create positive change, we can work either top-down
(advocacy, policy, etc.) or bottom-up (education, community,
etc.). Both Dr. Ann and I work more from the bottom-up
approach.

Mantra #3: Digital delivery/technology has allowed everyday
access to world-class teachers.
Ann’s school has a wealth of classes from basic education to
specialized classes on sleep, brain health, gut health, and
more.
Mantra #4: Brain health sets the bar; Dr. Ann refers to the brain
as the COO of our wellness team. It weighs only about 2% of total
body weight yet uses about 25% of our energy
needs/calories.
Mantra #5: The gut is the CEO of our wellness team; it regulates
appetite, immune function, and inflammation.
Dr. Ann refers to a wonderful book by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, Fiber
Fueled:
