We sit down with Registered Dietitian Debora Sloan and Dr. Behn from the Cardiac Longevity Clinic—our trusted partners in delivering full health assessments.
Together, we dive into the science behind healthy aging and strength, covering key topics like the differences in men’s and women’s health, navigating menopause, building lasting habits, and the role of preventative healthcare. We also tackle common myths around lifting heavy, fasting, and protein, while highlighting the importance of bone density for long-term vitality.
Whether you’re looking to future-proof your health or cut through the noise of wellness fads, this episode is packed with clarity and practical takeaways.
Join us for an insightful conversation with Dr. Valerie Lamarre, chiropractor at Movement Co., who specializes in helping patients reduce or eliminate pain, recover from injuries, and enhance athletic performance. Valarie is a passionate advocate for healthy living through sport and athletics, and her holistic approach treats the body as a whole rather than just addressing symptoms.
In this episode, we dive into the most common issues Valarie sees in her practice, when it’s the right time to seek chiropractic care, myths and misconceptions about chiropractic treatment, and practical tips to support your health, mobility, and performance. Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to move better and feel better, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
In this episode, we chat with Ryan, founder and head coach of Dynamis Athletic, about the tools and strategies that make dieting and nutrition sustainable. Ryan explains why applying bodybuilding principles can help anyone—not just competitors—improve their health, lose fat, and maintain muscle along the way.
Since 2012, Ryan has worked as a personal trainer and coach, earning the Movati Personal Trainer of Excellence Award in 2022. As a competitive bodybuilder, coach to physique athletes, and instructor for The Exercise Mechanic, he brings a wealth of experience from both the stage and the classroom.
If you’ve struggled with dieting or want a smarter way to approach weight loss, this episode will give you practical tools and a new perspective on nutrition.
In this episode, CEO Ashley Lawrie and her husband, personal trainer Michael Farant, share a behind-the-scenes look at Free Form Fitness. From running a business to raising a family, they open up about the challenges and rewards of building a life around health, balance, and community — and how they maintain their own fitness along the way.
He was doing everything “right”—eating well, training consistently, staying active. But something still wasn’t adding up. In this episode, we sit down with Guy, a client who thought he had his health figured out—until persistent pain and a hidden heart issue forced him to take a deeper look.
Joining the conversation are Cameron, our head trainer who’s been guiding Guy through a personalized strength program, and Dr. Behn, founder of the Cardiac Longevity Clinic, who’s helped Guy optimize his sleep, nutrition, and cardiovascular health from the inside out.
Together, they unpack what it really takes to achieve long-term health—and why even the most disciplined routines can miss the mark without the right support.
After 11 incredible years at Free Form Fitness, one of our most welcoming, friendly, and dedicated trainers has retired. In this episode, she reflects on her journey, the biggest lessons she's learned, fitness myths she’s seen come and go, and what it’s really like to spend over a decade in the industry.
In this episode, we sit down with Aakrist, a Sports Performance Coach who specializes in one of the most underrated tools for better health, focus, and athletic performance: the breath. Aakrist shares how learning to control your breathing can enhance stamina, accelerate recovery, and reduce stress—both in sport and in everyday life. From elite athletes to busy professionals, his approach to breathwork helps people perform at their best and feel more grounded. Whether you're looking to calm your mind or push your limits, this conversation will show you how powerful your breath truly is.
In this episode of Personal Trainers Who Care, we sit down with Dr. S. Behnam Banihashemi, founder of the Cardiac Longevity Clinic, to talk all things heart health. As a leading cardiologist with a passion for prevention, Dr. Behn shares practical, science-backed advice on how to reduce your risk of heart disease—starting today. From the role of stress and sleep to the importance of movement and personalized care, this conversation is packed with tips that could add years to your life. Whether you’re a fitness professional or just someone who wants to take better care of their heart, this episode is a must-listen.
