went off sugar radically...........like that is soooo easy. "took a class" what class?, "took a supplement and the weight came off", was that the magnesium? Never said what her thyroid problem was. Too much vagueness for me.

I lost sixty pounds or so on my own also. I try to stay vegetarian or chicken, fish and seafood. I eat pretty healthy. I try to have mostly meatless meals. I lost the weight on my own. I was 276 pounds at my heaviest. I weigh 211 pounds. My goal is to get back to 175 pounds. I like having curves.

I lost 90 pounds in 2017 and have kept it off going on 6 years as of Jan 16th I haven't eaten anything with Sugar or flour in the past 6 years (No cookies, no soda, no cake) That's my secret. BTW it is very tough for me to keep off the weight. The main reason is that there is too much food choices out there. Ever been to a party with lots of food and you're the only person not eating. Well it's tough.

This doctor has figured it out. What works for a 25 year old mostly does not work for a 50+ woman. It's all about hormones - mainly insulin.

Maddening how little information I got out of this.

I’ve literally stopped eating processed foods, lowered my carbohydrate intake and substituted for more healthier carbs like fruits and veggies opposed to starches, I limit how much sugar I consume, I increased my protein intake (I didn’t realize how little protein I was consuming until I began watching my micros/macros) to 165g, I lowered the amount of sodium I consume--I was literally eating 3x-4x the amount of recommended sodium and there is soooo much food that is high in sugar and sodium, I stopped eating out frequently which I LOVED fast food but now I prefer to cook at home even experimenting with foods and creating things that I enjoy eating, however still adhering to my diet. I’ve lost about 60lbs and kept it off for a long time, my concern was more about adopting new sustainable behaviors that would replace unhealthy ones, ex. I replaced soda and energy drinks completely for flavored seltzer water and black coffee (yeah, at first I despised the taste but I only focused on changing those foods since I realized it was what I was consuming on the daily) then in time I substituted almond milk for whole milk, after that everything just slowly fell into place. In about a years time I realized that I had completely changed my diet to foods that I still enjoyed, however when I would go shopping it was now a habit and I would pick the right foods on a subconscious level! That’s when I truly surprised myself and felt in complete control of my diet. I was heavy all my life and I knew I could lose the weight rather quickly but my goal was more to live a healthy lifestyle yet keep the weight off long term! Believe me, if I can do it, you can too! I paired all this up with a steady routine of gym work, I tend to go without fail on my off days, usually do about an hour, then on some workdays I will go and do a 30 min but if I feel energized then I’ll push myself longer. I also HIGHLY recommend you study the nutritional facts on foods, I downloaded two apps that have helped my in choosing the right foods and keeping track. You’d be SHOCKED how many foods have all this cancer causing additives and stuff that is proven to change your dna. I’ve learned soo much about nutrition that I’m considering pursuing an education in nutrition. I’m not the same man I was a few years ago and my family sees that and is just in awe by it. Anyway, best of luck to everyone on their fitness goals, if I did it, then you can too, just need to believe in yourself. Progress takes time. 💪🏻

She hasn’t said anything

She said a lot without saying much! Lol

*Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and valuable insights!*

Interesting, we all have a number. Mine was 232 15 years ago. Now within 5 lbs of high school weight of 185. Not stopping til 175.

Great inspiration !!!

I’d like to know how to find thyroid issues when regular tests don’t show the problem.

Blessed to have this wonderful doctor in my life, our lives!

Im in my 30s with pcos, Ive given up added sugar completely- but the weight although doesn’t increase but hasn’t even decreased,I dont eat anything out of a bag, only fresh fruits and veggies, adding an hour of walk only helps except till I stop

Good on you Doctor. You look amazing.

Congrats angel

She looks great! It’s amazing how losing weight and eating healthy can cause you to age in reverse! She looks much younger than 50!

Just had a plethora of testing done at Functional Medicine Doctor. Was found to have High Leptin, low pregnenalone and prediabetes. Sounds like this doctor had similar issues. What is a good dosage to start pregnenalone? Which one is good? Is transdermal or sublingual effective?

Getting rid of sugar and fluffy white carbs, MOST carbs got me to normal weight and I have MS and can't move much. at my heaviest I was 90 lbs more than now.

I'm 63 and vegan for 8 years. Weight loss is VERY difficult after age 50. I put on a few mounds be eating a lot of starches (rice, pasta, beans) after going vegan. Trying to lose those few pounds takes much longer now than it did when I was in my 20s and 30s. Even at 40 it was easier to lose weight. I have a friend who told me her mother was 72 and was eating like a bird to lose weight but could not lose weight.

IMHO she is talking about low carb/Keto. No sugar, low carbs, no flour etc. But she will not say it.

Doctor you have beautiful skin just beautiful you’re glowing😊😊😊😊

big grats doc and you are so right about insulin resistance and stomach biome. get these square and you'll be on your way to healing.

Key word, holistic!

I work out literally two hours three times a week and I eat about 1200 and 1500 cal a day It’s hard to get physicians to look at that underlying thyroid issue that’s not just found in a TSH. I too am a healthcare professional.

She reminds of Julianne Margulies.

DR. EMI'S WEIGHT LOSS TIPS • LOOK AT THE SUGAR VALUE OF FOOD • DRINK ENOUGH WATER • GET ENOUGH MAGNESIUM

2:47 She invented supplements? 👏🏽 Well that's good for her and bad for me. I don't have the slightest idea on how to start that. Guess I'm stuck sweating it out at the gym.

Gloria Estaphan twins

Hmmm not sure if this is a stunt or not. Lots of times these people have just had some type of bariatric surgery but claim they lost the weight by simply eating a healthy diet, exercising and taking supplements. She was vague in her answers and her body proportion is off (her legs are still thick…usually a telltale sign of weight loss surgery).

So what's the magnesium to take to lose weight and curb sugar cravings?

What is the supplement she mentions early in the interview?

32 years ago I dropped 225 pounds ! I got divorced. He was out the door. Lol 😂

Please provide the full names or Instagram addresses of your guests so we can follow and get more details.

Tell me where to get the special thyroid test! Because I want it

This helps no one. Self promotion of her TikTok. She created her own supplement which I'm sure she markets on her TikTok.

I see: Doctor Who. I click. Oops. Wrong: Doctor who...

She should be a guest on The Kelly Clarkson show

I use Calm powder magnesium I take it before I go to bed actually, I take it throughout the day, but it’s supposed to also make you sleepy. It’s great for cramps and muscles and I cannot live without it. I mix it with my apple cider vinegar and soda water.

She said she took a supplement? What does that mean medication injectables what kind of supplement?

Shu is basically following a keto / low carb diet but throughout her interview refused to give credit to these diets … instead she just says “ got rid of sugars”😂

Eat what u want.. moderation and exercise

Beautiful lady. It's common sense our food has become poison. My daughters allergic to everything I have lost weight adjusting our food especially gluten and soy.

Great 👍

So, where do we advocate for ourselves, when doctors don’t have the knowledge or the time to help us drill down on the problem?

It isn’t just trainers who perpetuate the meth that you you need to exercise more and eat less to lose weight it is the medical industry and doctors who are not trained in the real causes of obesity and that it isn’t just about self control and laziness, this is the real reason so many never get better, the underlying issues for these people are never addressed they’re dismissed.

I had a calculus teacher 40 years at the University of Pennsylvania…I remember him telling our class that he lost 25lbs becoming a vegetarian…hmmm.. Never thought much about it at the time because I was a starving college student and thin…now decades later, I have found eating a vegetable based diet and drinking only water has kept my weight down to my college-age weight…Plus, I don’t keep anything unhealthy in my house…no cookies, cake..only dark chocolate

I do all these things and still haven't been able to lose weight 😞

She talked too fast, breezing through some of the key points.

I've lost 60lbs and 40lbs before and the 40lbs was harder for some reason but I literally ate what I wanted I just reduced how much I ate. I started listening to my body. I waited to actually feel hungry before I ate, I let myself be hungry for a bit before I ate then once I began to eat I would stop as soon as I felt full. I used my sleep to fast so after 8pm I ate nothing until the next morning. I drank the chocolate atkins protein shakes for breakfast some days they filled me up til lunch. The weight came off bc I had a job where I barely sat down. Now I am very sedentary so I have to be conscious of that and make sure when I can move around I'm getting some exercise. At one point when I had the job where I barely sat down I got down to 118lbs which looked horrible as I am 5 foot 6 inches. Now I am between 130 and 135 which is a good weight for my height.

I do all these things and still haven't been able to lose weight

Lost 15 lbs quickly, then stopped completely, on 1,200 or 1,000 cal a day, which is nothing. So I gave up. The missing key back then is that a few min. Of cardio boosts the metabolism. If the body thinks we’re starving it , the metabolic rate slows down to zero.

I feel like the answer is to eat less and exercise more. It seems so easy but I can't do it.

She did not do this to assist most women, she did it to assist the elite. It is $1200 per month to even be seen by her, and that is regardless if you have insurance that she does accept. This is in addition to all of the fees that will not be covered by any insurance in the State of Washington. She has no alternative program or even a testing alone program, so you can at least get to the source of the torture if you are anything like myself, to the reason your health got where it is, even when you did all the correct holistic choices, and really, or not. For women who have been searching and searching and can see by her talk, she knows "exactly" and knows no one else is doing this work (or so I thought), in an all-in-one facility, you would think she would have compassion. This fine fee does not get you treatments you would and will have to pay, but you will have access to the health coach and get 10% off supplementation (that's the perk). We are talking thousands to be treated for conditions that do not just clear up quickly, by the nature of the conditions she mentioned. I would not be complaining but she used this as a publicity stunt, to raise so many millions of women's hopes who are in serious pain, emotional and physical misery, and not by any means only myself. Just to have her very cold "ba-bye" (exactly like the women in the Beverly Hills boutique from Pretty woman) so obviously say with such snobbery and arrogance, that there is not one other option. And she "doubled" the price I was told, from last year (doubled since the interview). I was willing to spend a lot to see her, in addition to my insurance covered cost and co-pays. For genetic testing, MRI, and CT scans of an adrenal mass my family and I are very concerned about, for testing and a protocol, period and you name it but 1200 a month out of pocket, just to be seen by her? And not I would not, or do not hold a respectable job, I could not! I honor others' prosperity, but this is ridiculous and there should have been more transparency about it before you raise the hopes of thousands if not more women, and give this woman the opportunity of a lifetime, for millions who cannot afford her services. I was surprised to see you did this Today show, been watching you since I was a little girl. I will be resourcing others who have what she offers in addition to medical ethics and compassion, my daughter and I are already seeing someone that may offer even better services in another part of Washington for visitation at $299. When I went on her Instagram in protest and to inform the women, she blocked me in less than 60 seconds, in fear someone would find out before she could reel them in. The more I think about it, anyone who would go through what she went through and leave all of us who cannot afford 1200 plus so much more per month, is not someone I want to place my health in her greedy and incompassionate hands. Someone who would truly honor the suffering she went through, would be offering a sliding scale fee per day, or providing a physician's assistant at a lesser cost, "something", and when she knows at our age, many of these are life-threatening. I wish the best to the patients that give her their money and health concerns,I am happy for their ability to afford her, please know. I am sure (or at least her story looks that way) she is a good Doctor addressing a big concern millions have not found the answer for, I wish them the best. I pray for her a softer heart, and greater ethics in what it means to be a Doctor, and a healer, and knowing it was not just her hard work that blessed her with the healing and knowledge, it was given and not just for her.

What was the supplement?

NO, SHE DID NOT SHARE MISLEADING HEADING

She is Fierce ❤🙌

Sis also found filters!

I can't make head or tail of this. How did she do it?

Get off sugar! This works.

Amazing

"Advocate for yourself."😘🙂😃😋

She didn't say anything much at all! Holding out for ppl to pay her expensive consultation fee first.

That was pretty much about women. Does this apply to overweight men as well?

what supplement???

I’m menopausal I quit sugar and only lost 2 lbs This is very little actual factual information Men shouldn’t ever be critical of women We have the babies and go through a complicated reversal of our cycle

Nice lady

I should market the pbs diet. No potatoes, no breads, no sugar.

👏

ETA: maybe the host should also mention she sells her unmentioned supplement on her website. I guess this is more of a commercial than anything. Maybe she lost weight because she was eating better (especially when she comments that she did food testing and low sugar) which would in turn cause a calorie deficit and lead to weight loss? Agree there is tons of hidden sugar in the standard American diet and ultra processed foods should be avoided or rarely consumed. Weight training is also excellent for weight loss since if you can increase your muscle mass naturally with weight bearing activity you will lose more since muscle is calorie demanding.

Many of us 'are not' doctors. We depend on drs for help but all I've been hearing lately is, "Have you considered ozempic?" Really!!! Taking needles to my body. Seriously!!!

Easy. Reduce refined sugar intake. Do some intermittent fasting and exercise.

I no buy junk food or take sugar with coffee, anymore. I be lying if I say, I feel results immediate after or 8 year later. But. It do affect how you see people, who need a lot of sugar in diet, outside of nations with super amazing sugar like Jamaica. I phasing out sugar, when I go Jamaica 10 year ago, and coffee time, the sugar a super super amazing experience. It feel great take 3 coffee with Jamaican sugar. That strengthen resolve to not intake sugar in lesser sugar country. We eating lead, compare to other country enjoy natural sugar. People think 'Sugar in the Raw' a 'natural' sugar. It no different than white sugar. One taxi driver, I know, tell me how he eat same breakfast for 20 year, fried plaintain, scramble egg, toast, coffee and fresh orange juice. I already been to Jamaica like 3 time, so I understand. He eat like a king. Very cool dude.

Did she say what supplement she take🤔

Ahhh 👍 great

I’m bald

I went from 213 pounds to 152 by going vegan, and watching fat and sugar grams.

I agree with other commenters, she is very nonspecific in her recommendation.

Great job woman doctor. My sister died because she was too fat. Sucks. Keep it up 👌

I would never be treated by a doctor who carries an extra 100 pounds.

They keep saying not eating much

Happy this doctor lost the weight, but I wish so many people weren’t vague about exactly what they did to lose it. This smells of monetization. Of course, she will have supplements for you to buy, books you won’t likely get anything new from, and a class for you to take. And at the end of it all, it will still be your fault you didn’t lose the weight because you could not “research” what was going on. This doctor was obviously wealthy enough and had many more resources most folks don’t have access to. This person is everything that is wrong with diet culture. The only true thing she said was cut out sugar. It would not surprise me if she was busy selling her own weight loss hormone shot. What a tired old story.

Sugar and s a killer

So what’s her IG name

I took supplements I corrected this I corrected that But doesn't Tell you really anything

So caloric deficit

My doctor in Europe is an American woman she’s so big very unhealthy doctor I don’t understand.

She invented a supplement??? There is nothing relatable about this woman’s journey, and I can say as a fellow doctor she would never have been able to do it as an average person. Most people can’t get there provider to get past “eat less and exercise” let alone running a battery of non-standard tests.

Well, who knew there were several magnesiums. I'm sure the "right" one sponsors her!

She said nothing.

well with all these sudden adult deaths, interesting how this is news, but loosing weight can always help!

This was vague and petty much free of any actual useful tips or information.

To be fair, do we ask how to gain weight. Seems insensitive to exclude a group of people that could only be the ones that end up losing weight. In fact, we could have all benefited from hearing how this person did a full circle with the weight gain and loss. What was the motivation to gain, to lose and be profiled? See? That's why we need both sides of the story. And why do you profile weight loss and also profile in a positive way those that gain and stay gained? What opposite areas of life do you promote both sides in a positive way?

$1600 for first appointment .

Portion size smaller meals and exercise more same old things will power dieting and exercise motivation

she told us nothing useful : she says figure it out; how? what kind of magnesium? I'm ashamed of you, Today Show! this was useless!!!

I'm struggling and my Dr said I'm inlusin resistant ......I had to he sleeve and they thought I had sibo.mythyroud is all out of wack

1 word: Keto

Carnivore. Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Anthony Chaffee. We evolved as hyper carnivores.

Eat less and workout/move more. Not that hard
