    Podcast Summary

    • Exploring LinkedIn for Hiring and Delicious Cake RecipesLinkedIn is a valuable resource for small businesses to find professionals and access unique candidates. Discover delicious cake recipes on lazarwell-being.com.

      LinkedIn is an essential platform for small business owners looking to hire professionals. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to not use LinkedIn, as over 70% of its users don't even visit other leading job sites. LinkedIn provides access to a pool of candidates that can't be found elsewhere, even those who aren't actively seeking new opportunities. Plus, starting the weight loss journey with PlushCare is another professional and convenient option. They accept most insurance plans and offer online consultations with board-certified physicians who can prescribe FDA-approved medications for those who qualify. During this week's Friday 5 episode, we also discussed a delicious Persian Simnel cake recipe. The cake features a unique blend of flavors, including crushed cardamom pods, figs, and rose water. The taste is truly sensational, and you can find the recipe on lazarwell-being.com. The site also offers other delightful cake recipes, such as the dark chocolate and almond cake and the lime, passion fruit, and coconut spelt cake. So, whether you're looking to hire or indulge in a sweet treat, remember to explore the full potential of LinkedIn and these delicious cake recipes.

    • Counting Calories: A Complex ProcessDr. Giles Yeoh explains that not all calories are created equal and the process of weight loss is more complex than just counting calories.

      Counting calories may not be an effective method for weight loss, according to Dr. Giles Yeoh, a geneticist and obesity expert featured on the latest episode of the podcast. Dr. Yeoh explains that not all calories behave the same way in the body and the process is more complex than just counting calories. He delves deeper into this topic in the podcast, providing valuable insights for those looking to shift some pounds.

    After their recent break away from the kids to ‘disconnect and reconnect’ Abbey and Pete are back with tales of when even the best of intentions can backfire with hilarious results. 


    Thailand in the depths of monsoon season? Sounds like the perfect opportunity for Abbey to tear through three books and avoid talking to Pete at all costs…
