5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Podcast. Feel great all day. Brought to you by Zero Hunger Water. Let's finally handle your hunger, a challenge that's both universal and deeply personal. I'm Jorge Cruise, and I'm an author with over 2 decades of experience in guiding people like you on their wellness journey. And I'm absolutely thrilled that you're joining me as we embark on this adventure to master our hunger. For those tuning in for the first time, I want to welcome you aboard. And to my longtime followers, I am thrilled you're here. Whether you've been with me since those early 2000 book days or you're just discovering my world, I'm so glad you're here. We've got a diverse crowd from energetic 20-somethings, dedicated ath— athletes to intermittent fasting enthusiasts, and even those in their vibrant stages of life, whether they're in their 50s like me, 60s, 70s, or beyond. Everyone is welcome here regardless of your journey or destination. As we dive into this journey together, remember, it's about making the process of handling hunger enjoyable and easy. And you're not alone in this. Think of me as your personal guide doing the heavy lifting for you, distilling years of knowledge and experience to make it painless. Together, we'll transform the way we see and manage hunger, making it a delightful part of your journey towards a healthier, happier life. Let's get started and change our lives one joyful step at a time. You know, over my 20 years in publishing, writing 39 books, which still amazes me, I've always been driven by one simple yet powerful philosophy. It's more than just a mantra. It's a mission statement for life. For my family, for my friends, and especially for you, I hope. It's about achieving a state where we can truly feel great all day. This isn't just a fleeting goal. It's attainable, and together we can achieve it. It's about combining body, mind, and soul in a way I have never talked about before. This brings us to the core of our journey in this all-new podcast. It's what I call the 3 M's: Minerals, Movement, and Mindfulness. Each of these M's is a pillar, a fundamental element of a wellness plan that doesn't just promise optimal health, but guarantees a life where you can chase your dreams while feeling great all day. Minerals serve as a cornerstone to provide the perfect trio of sodium, magnesium, and potassium to eradicate feelings of hunger and support a life of well-being. Movement emerges as the transformative force for emotional and mental well-being, advocating that the first step to changing emotion is changing your physical state. Mindfulness offers substance for our spirit, empowering you to lean away from the mind or the ego. This is truly about understanding the power of courage and faith and dropping fear. Let's dive into why minerals are so crucial. You see, the latest science in nutrition has made a groundbreaking revelation. A mineral imbalance triggers cravings for carbs, sugar, and salty snacks in an astonishing 98% of us. The man leading this revolution is a dear friend of mine. His name is Dr. James DiNicolai Antonio. He's the author of several books, one of my favorites being The Salt Fix and another one being The Mineral Fix. They're both incredible books, and he's been on this podcast several times. And later this month, I'll be sharing some encore conversations I did with him during COVID that got me me to realize the power of minerals to control hunger. If you haven't followed his work or his Instagram, make sure to follow the show notes to get his links and social media, because he truly is the leading doctor in this field. The other leader and dear friend that I interviewed during COVID was Robb Wolf, the author of The Paleo Solution. He's a leader in this field and truly a genius when it comes to human nutrition and hunger control. Please make sure to read the show notes to get his links as well. And speaking of hunger control, in today's news, it's the number one health story in the world. Celebrities I love, people I've even worked with like Oprah Winfrey or Sharon Osbourne, have brought this to the forefront, openly sharing their weight loss success with pharmaceuticals like Ozempic, a revolutionary tool to control hunger. Now, you may think I'm opposed to such medications, but I'm not. I believe they have their place depending on individual needs. I have never been against the use of medications. I want you to consider Ozempic and similar drugs as just one tool in a broader arsenal for controlling hunger. The doctors I've spoken to say these are fine to use if you use them episodically so they don't dysregulate your digestive system long-term. The best news is that there's another tool, equally powerful and far more accessible: minerals. To be precise, 3 specific minerals that are the heroes: potassium, magnesium, and sodium. These magic trio can help control your hunger, and they're inexpensive, prescription-free, and without side effects. This brings us to the heart of our discussion today and the special goal for this new year. We're embarking on an explorative journey together through what I call the Why You're Hungry series. This series officially begins with the next episode, episode 165. And it is dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of hunger control. We'll dive deep into how minerals play a pivotal role in this process, guiding you each step of the way. But it's not just about minerals. This series is a comprehensive exploration of hunger control. We'll investigate various methods from pharmaceutical solutions to natural remedies and understand their implications on our wellness journey. Each episode will bring us closer to mastering the art of controlling hunger with practical advice, expert insights, and of course, your stories and experiences. As your coach and host, I'm here with you every step of the way. Together, we'll navigate this path, learning and growing, improving our hydration, reducing food cravings, and ultimately eating less, not through force, but through understanding and control. It's a promise I make to you. By the end of this series, you'll have a new perspective on hunger and the tools to manage it effectively. As we embark on this exciting journey together, I want to make sure we're connected every step of the way. That's why I'm inviting you to be an active part of this community. Share your thoughts, your progress, and your challenges. You can reach out to me directly at Jorge@JorgeCruise.com.
