How can we separate truth from propaganda?
It surprises many to learn that in the United States, propaganda is perfectly legal.
It’s not so subtle though if you look closely, and the endless drum beat of talking heads repeating the same sound bites over and over doesn’t inform us or get us any closer to the truth.
Simply doing what we’re told won’t lead to long-term health or well-being—just look at the food pyramid—we have to take on that responsibility ourselves.
That’s why it’s more important than ever to do your homework and think for yourself, especially when your health is concerned.
And I realize that thinking for yourself has become very controversial as of late, but it certainly shouldn’t be.
In a time when we’re swamped with shameless corporate propaganda, I’m honored to be here with an incredible woman who takes journalistic integrity seriously.
Joining us on the show is our friend La’Tasha Givens, a multiple Emmy Award-winning reporter, anchor and radio show host who has more than a decade of experience in news.
You may also remember La’Tasha from back in 2016 when we starred together on that ABC TV show, My Diet Is Better Than Yours. While filming for the show, La’Tasha dropped an impressive 45 pounds and 18.5% of her total body weight in just 14 weeks.
You’re going to dig this one, we’re talking about…
- What it’s like to drop 45 pounds on ABC television in front of the whole world
- Getting results with different approaches to fat loss—there are different ways of getting there
- Why the past few years have been really tough on journalists
- Tips on time management from a busy mom and a reporter
- All-time favorite cheeses
- And much more…

Abel, I’ve just found your podcast and have probably listened to 10-15 so far. This was by far one of my favorites – especially La’Tasha’s explanation of journalist vs. infotainment. Yes! Just give us the news and stop giving us your spin on it. And La’Tasha’s personality just shines through throughout the podcast. Give her a, “Thanks,” from your listeners.
Same as the comment above! I love that you interview people from all walks of life, and Abel, you’re always ready with great questions. Such quality content. My favorite part of this podcast was about how she walks every day! I, too! as a busy mother of 4 teenagers working part-time and having a happy marriage, walking is stress-relieving, good for my health and good for my soul. and I LIKE TO LIFT WEIGHTS. And I’m also asking Allison to weigh in sometime. Thanks again!
Totally agree, this is a really important message right now. So powerful to hear La’Tasha explain the difference between a journalist that’s working for a network/local news vs cable news infotainment.
And I really love her answer to Abel’s question about time management — how she does it all, as a busy mom and news anchor. She says…
“Prioritize and give yourself grace. I push myself and try to be effective. I think putting things in place that will allow you to be yourself is important…” – La’Tasha Givens
