Mitchell’s guest this evening, renowned author, teacher and retreat leader Kat James, has, through trial and tribulation, and later buttressed by nutritional science, intuited upon a dietary approach which focuses on the role of the master hormone leptin (yes, spelled correctly, not ‘lectin’!) in human health, in respect to its governance of the thyroid and metabolism. Today, Kat’s work is endorsed or utilized by top doctors and clinics around the world. Kat’s work with leptin sensitivity is truly leading the movement around the world, helping countless numbers of people and informing the work of leading holistic physicians who she has helped, directly or indirectly, recognize the significance and defining role of fats in the diet.
Kat James’ own story is a remarkable one. She transformed her body and skin beyond recognition after a 12-year eating disorder and autoimmune disease nearly took her life. Without drugs the-truth-about-beauty-new coveror deprivation, the principles, strategies and resources that took her years to stumble on ultimately cured not only Kat’s heroin-like addiction to food (resulting in a loss of ten dress sizes), but the skin-disfiguring liver disease and other issues that destroyed her health, beauty, and self-image for more than a decade.
Today, at 52, and with none of the effort typically made to maintain such dramatic weight loss and transformation, Kat continues to defy the no-pain, no-gain, “boot camp” myths of beauty and slimness in her well-researched teachings, and in her vibrant living example.
Joining us at the beginnning of the show is Connie Monteleone, who attended Kat's last retreat in Florida and will be doing so again next week, to share with us some of her direct experience of Kat's program.
