Success Has Rules: Mindset, Ownership & Weight Loss Breakthroughs (with John Ciet) | Healthy Real Food Podcast Ep. 241

In episode 241 of the Healthy Real Food Podcast, Aaron interviews John Ciet, co-founder and co-owner of Century 21 Everest and author of the upcoming book Success Has Rules, about applying success principles to weight loss and health. John shares his upbringing in rural Utah, leaving law school after personal loss, and building a real estate career through the Great Recession to lead the number one Century 21 office in the world, emphasizing that the past doesn’t determine the future. He explains that mindset is a skillset, shifting from victim to victor requires ownership, self-love, forgiveness, and a compelling “why” stronger than willpower. John outlines daily practices to strengthen mindset—what you read, watch, listen to, and who you associate with—plus embracing failure, focusing on process and consistency, and taking small steps toward long-term change.

Ultra-Processed Foods, Cravings & Real Nutrition After 40 (Interview with NutriFusion CEO William Grand)

This episode of the Healthy Real Food Podcast focuses on why sustainable weight loss for women over 40 is about food quality and nourishment, not just calories. The host interviews William Grand, CEO of NutriFusion, who discusses America’s poor fruit and vegetable intake, how low produce consumption contributes to inflammation, oxidative stress, and chronic disease, and how ultra-processed foods and sugar can drive cravings and addictive-like eating patterns. They reference a 2024 BMJ umbrella review of 45 meta-analyses (nearly 10 million participants) linking higher ultra-processed food exposure to cardiometabolic disease, common mental disorders, and mortality. Grand advises skepticism toward marketing claims, reading nutrition facts and ingredient lists, and avoiding products with hard-to-recognize ingredients, while sharing NutriFusion as an alternative for those not getting enough fruits and vegetables.

Breaking the Diet Cycle & Finding Food Peace After 40 (Episode 239) | Interview with Angela Shaner

In episode 237 of the Healthy Real Food Podcast, the host interviews Angela Shaner about breaking the cycle of dieting, binging, and feeling out of control around food to find lasting peace with food and her body. Angela shares how stress, health issues, hypoglycemia, and worsening symptoms after college and having kids led her to seek answers through doctors, a functional medicine approach, and the book Bright Line Eating, before realizing she needed to treat her struggles as food addiction rather than a willpower problem. She explains how hiring a food addiction coach in January 2025, doing mindset work and journaling, and building sustainable real-food habits helped her become gluten/wheat free and avoid sugar while finding a workable “sweet spot.” They discuss motivation, vision, day-by-day progress, and fitness tips for women over 40, emphasizing strength training, walking, progressive overload, and recovery.
