Losing 83 Pounds Giving Up Sugar and Healthy Grains
83 Pounds Lost Giving up Sugar and Healthy Grains Hi there, Andrew Anderson, and today we have the pleasure of speaking with Sarah Amonn from Zelko Aesthetics. And we're going to talk about her journey on changing her eating habits and maybe a few other things. And again, this is the 10 minute interview. So, we're going to get a lot packed in here. I'm going to hit the start button and we're on. Sarah, thank you for coming on today. Awesome. Thank you for having me. I'm excited to share my journey. Me too. So I'll tell you what, I'm going to be quiet and you go ahead and tell us how you got to where you are today. Right on. So, long story. I'm going to make it short. My biggest thing with getting to where I was, what was truly detoxing my body from all sugars, wheats, and flours. I started the journey January 12, 2022. And I have lost 83 pounds so far. Whoa. Yeah, I know. It's crazy. Whoa. I started it right after I had my last child, and it was time, you know, I let the weight kinda accumulate through pregnancies and didn't put myself first which is easy to do, I think, for any mother. And yeah, I took time. I went to a facility in Minnesota, I'm located in Milwaukee, that really focuses on detoxing your body from sugar. It's called COR. They focus it on, it's a 12 step program, so it's focused in recovery and they view sugar addiction and flour and wheat the same as alcohol and drugs. And that was appealing to me. I've been sober for 12 years and in recovery and in the world. So it was. It was appealing to me to hear and see it pitched that way. Can I interject something here and maybe you'll get to it, but for everybody who hasn't doesn't know this, sugars, they have the same impact on the same part of the brains as heroin, cocaine, even alcohol, all the addiction. They hit all those synapses and they are just as damaging and people don't realize that. So, go ahead. Yeah, I think even almost more damaging than some of the addictions out there. So yeah, I've been living a really good life, but putting some weight on through pregnancies and life and realized that I had to, sugar doesn't work for me like at all. So, after I went to COR, I came out and I just gave it my all. Get the rest of the transcript here. https://thelongercrowbar.com/blog/

Unlocking Digital Accessibility For Websites: ADA Compliance Deep Dive
In this episode on the ADA and your Website if you are a business in the US. Legal Context & Evolution: The ADA, initially focused on physical spaces (e.g., wheelchair ramps), has evolved to include digital spaces, ensuring websites are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Rising Legal Issues: The surge in ADA-related demand letters (265,000 in 2020) highlights the importance of digital compliance. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines or lawsuits, with average settlements around $35,000, especially under California’s strict Unruh Act. ADA Compliance for Websites: It ensures equitable access for all users, addressing barriers for those using screen readers or other assistive technologies. Key practices include: Clear language and structured content. Alternative text for images. Keyboard navigability. Captions for videos. Guidelines & Tools: WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) provides global standards for accessibility, with varying compliance levels. Tools like browser plugins help identify issues but aren’t comprehensive; proper coding and design are essential. Benefits Beyond Compliance: SEO Advantages: Accessible websites rank better due to improved organization and user experience. Tax Credits: Businesses grossing under $1M or with fewer than 30 employees may qualify for up to $5,000 annually for accessibility upgrades. Expanded Audience & Brand Loyalty: Accessibility opens businesses to untapped markets and strengthens reputations. Ethical Imperative: Beyond legal and financial benefits, ADA compliance fosters inclusivity, addressing the real-world challenges faced by people with disabilities. Designing for accessibility also sparks innovation, benefiting broader audiences (e.g., curb cuts and closed captions). Call to Action: Businesses are encouraged to embrace accessibility not only as a legal necessity but as an opportunity to create a more inclusive, innovative, and prosperous digital landscape.
