Meet the CEO of RBLD Fitness, Teddy. Teddy has obsessively studied, designed and applied a simple blueprint to fitness success that he teaches and personally lives by to this day. He coaches his 1:1 clients with this SAME blueprint, and now, you’ll learn how to train like him.
Ultimately, he created this program because he knows what it’s like to feel hopeless, disappointed, and directionless in fitness pursuits. Yet, he also knows what it feels like to ask for help, put together a plan, and take consistent action to completely change one's life. He's been on both sides of the fence, and he wants to empower as many people as possible to do the same. This is his big purpose in life.
Outside of getting his clients amazing and sustainable results, he lives in NYC with his wife Daphne and two doggos (Zenzi and Pack). He loves true crime documentaries, exploring the city, Chipotle delivery and lazy weekends.

Growing up in a toxic and abusive home environment, Bill Murphy was constantly overwhelmed by fear and doubt. Nevertheless he was motivated to show those around him that he could accomplish what he set out to do, in spite of being verbally and physically knocked down.
Bill believes that when the storm hits, you have three choices: give up and become a victim; do what you can to survive; or learn to thrive. You don’t need to have exceptional talents or resources to overcome adversity, be resilient, and achieve extraordinary goals. You are capable of more than you realize. You can learn to thrive. Bill Murphy is proof.
Bill will be the first to tell you he is nothing special, but he’s been able to overcome an abusive childhood, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), mental health challenges, and unexpected crises to finish an Ironman, earn a black belt in Krav Maga, and run the Boston Marathon five times—including one on crutches. He’s a regular guy who is now thriving at the top of his profession, too. Through his debut release, Thriving in the Storm, he seeks to explain how anyone can achieve similar success.
Outside of writing, Bill is also a nationally recognized mortgage originator who has closed over one and a half billion dollars in loans, and a top producer for 25 years. He has raised over $500,000 for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation, and actively supports a number of charities, including Fairway Cares, The American Warrior Initiative, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. He is the founder of the nonprofit Thrive Foundation.
I know you will all enjoy this podcast and Bill's book, Thriving In the Storm.

He focuses on bridging the gap between traditional plant medicine and the western mind, intending to bring the insights and innovation that plant medicine provides to everyone who wants more out of their lives. He believes that we are finally on the cusp of proper mental healthcare, which will spur global innovation.
He is an international speaker and has traveled worldwide, teaching a blend of strategy, shadow work, and spirituality.

Dylan Dearman lives an exemplary story of transformation. Growing up in Wisconsin hunting and fishing, Dylan married his high school sweetheart and soon found himself living a lifestyle that allowed him to weigh in at 315 lbs with arthritis, low back pain and prediabetes. When he saw a picture of himself at a Milwaukee Brewers game, he was shocked at what he saw in the picture. He decided it was time for a life-altering change.
By rearranging his priorities, changing habits and getting a new support system, Dylan has completely changed his health and his future. He tried various diets from low calorie, to keto, to ultimately finding macro-counting to work most effectively. He also works out daily, recently crushing the Hero-WOD Murph in around 40 minutes.
Dylan gives a lot of credit to his friends and wife who have held him accountable to change. He mentions 75 Hard, a program by Andy Frisella that was incredibly helpful in his transformation.

In this episode, I speak about how adoption worked for us and what our journey was like on deciding to foster and adopt. I believe God inspires us to act in times of our lives and this was our situation with our little boy. But by the grace of God we go. We fostered our son, picking him up from the NICU when he was 2 weeks old and took him home. Now our little boy is one year old and he's an official member of our family. This episode is with Dr. Node Smith interviewing me on my journey. I'll interview my wife Katherine in a later episode, as there are certainly parts of my experience that differ from hers.

Harvard Ph.D, Dr. Jen Howk and I sit down and connect on how your political choice and COVID19 reaction is impacted by the genetically determined personality you were born with.
Dr. Howk explains that your personality traits determine whether you are unhappy, distraught and scared, or in paradise sheltering in place. She also gives environmental modifications to create a better world for yourself.
Dr. Howk explains how negative things motivate us more than positive things and how our media on our devices is being used against us, promoting the media-industrial-complex. Hint: social media was creation came out of the science around the slot machines for casinos... social media companies understand addiction and patterns to hook us up to their feeds and unknowingly creating tribalism.
Dr. Howk talk about cancel culture and the stripping of free speech. A recent poll showed that 30-50% of a younger group of people, would want their boss fired if he voted for the party they opposed. She shares how Cancel Culture has been used by totalitarian regimes in the past, silencing freedom of speech.
Remember, your 5 personality traits are fixed, wherever you fall on the spectrum with your traits is neither good nor bad. They are an asset for survival and a liability during times of life as well. Take on this podcast and learn more about who we are at the fundamental level.

Dr. Glover is a recovering nice guy. Dr. Glover was proud to say he was a nice guy about himself through much of his early adult life.
He really was a Nice Guy. He treated treat people well, and he wanted to be liked. He couldn’t understand why everyone didn’t have a similar personal mantra.
While in his early 30’s, in spite of his unwavering faith in this philosophy, his life was in crisis. One marriage had ended. A second one wasn’t going so well. His career dreams were stalled. He was frustrated, resentful, and confused. He wasn’t so nice.
He decided to start working on his situation. He joined a men’s group and started working with a therapist. Honestly, his initial goal was to find out why the people around him weren’t responding so well to his Nice Guy philosophy, and he wanted to find out how to get them to change. Within a short amount of time, he came to see that the problem was HIMSELF. He had an agenda. He had no boundaries. He was indirect. He was passive-aggressive. He wasn’t honest. He wasn’t always so nice.
His life's work and passion began when Dr. Glover was making Nice Guy discoveries about himself. He noticed that men he worked with in his practice as a marriage therapist were making the same kind of statements about their partners that he had been making about his. He found that he could finish their sentences for them.
Common questions and comments he gets are; “How come I always seem to give so much more than I get? All I want is to be appreciated. Is that asking too much? I can never do it right. She’s always mad. When will it be my turn? She never wants to have sex anymore.”
Dr. Glover is the creator of Dating Essentials for Men and the director of TPI University.

Jacey Messer is a former athlete, attorney, coaches wife and mom to 3 amazing works of art.
Jacey grew up in a small rural community in South Dakota with not one stoplight. Her childhood was idyllic spending summers at the lake, riding horse with friends and building elaborate snow forts during winter blizzards. A decorated high school track career led her to Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on a track and field scholarship.
It was at Augustana College where she met her future husband Mitch Messer. They were married in 2001 and moved to Missoula, Montana three months later, so Jacey could start law school at the University of Montana. After law school, Jacey started a job as a Public Defender in Bozeman, Montana. After the birth of their first child in 2007, Jacey left the PD's office. For ten years Jacey worked as a jewelry designer, project coordinator and retail buyer for the family business.
It was during this period that Jacey's health began to deteriorate due to stress and toxic products in their home. She suffered repeated infections. This led her to replace as many toxic products as she could find with natural, plant-based alternatives. In a very short amount of time her health began to rebound and her entrepreneurial spirit ignited! She now helps other families learn to read food and product labels in order to make better product choices to preserve their health.
If Jacey's story resonated with you, consider joining her upcoming 60 Day Challenge to eat healthier, feel better and work on that weight loss!

Manny J Garza, Gunnery Sergeant, Marines (ret. 21 yrs) joins me on The Rise Again Podcast to talk about his service to the United States of America as a Marine Infantryman.
Growing up in Midland, Texas, Manny Garza decides to join the Marine Corps in 1996 a moment of spontaneity. He joined the Marines as an infantryman. He talks about basic training and the fitness required to be a fit soldier, the ups and downs of training to be a soldier in the nation's elite fighting force.
Manny shares on this podcast the details of battle and the daily hair-raising life on the front lines, defending freedom for Iraq, from the insurgents waging a battle from hell on the citizens of Ramadi and on the young soldiers on the front lines in Ramadi stationed at Combat Outpost.
He served as a Staff Sergeant as a Blackhearts in the Battle of Ramadi, Iraq in 2004 with Fox Company, 1st Marine Division, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, a team that saw more action than most soldiers in Iraq detailed in the exploits of Sergeant Major Patrick Tracy in the best-selling book, Street Fight In Iraq.
Garza also shares the anticlimactic return home that soldiers face leaving their time in the service. He spends most of his time fishing and living the life he wants on the home front, a place he took an oath to protect and defend against invaders, foreign and domestic.

Charlie Engle is an endurance athletic legend. Just Google him.
Charlie was catapulted onto the world's stage after his incredible athletic ability was revealed in the film, Running the Sahara, narrated by Matt Damon. The documentary highlighted his historic, record-setting journey across the world’s largest desert, running more than two marathons a day for 111 consecutive days, for a total of 4,500 miles.
Charlie’s memoir, Running Man, became a bestseller shortly after it was published in 2016, for good reason! In Running Man, Charlie Engle tells the gripping, surprising, funny, emotional, and inspiring story of his life, detailing his setbacks and struggles - from coping with addiction to serving time in prison - and how he blazed a path to freedom by putting one foot in front of the other. This is a propulsive, raw, and triumphant story about finding the threshold of human endurance - and transcending it. After a decade-long addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol, Charlie Engle hit bottom with a near-fatal six-day binge that ended in a hail of bullets. As Engle got sober on July 23, 1992.
Charlie turned to running, which became his lifeline, his pastime, and his salvation. He began with marathons, and when marathons weren't far enough he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for 35, 50, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race. He credits a large part of his recovery to the purposeful devotion and emotional release he experiences while running.
Charlie is a dynamic speaker who has enthralled audiences around the world, from keynotes at the Boston Marathon and Google to the National Geographic Society, NATO, the United Nations and the deck of a nuclear-class U.S. Naval aircraft carrier.
One of the most inspiring individuals I have ever had the privilege of meeting and connecting with, I want nothing more than to share this conversation with you all.
If you loved Charlie, reach out to him and tell him how awesome he is and what an inspiration he is.
I encourage you to give the podcast a great rating and share it with at least three people!

Dr. Joel Fuhrman, MD, has more reversals of disease than most any other physician on the planet. Naturally. His guidance and results put him at the pinnacle of the medical profession.
While millions of Americans suffer from heart attacks and strokes, osteoarthritis, diabetes, dementia, cancer, and other chronic illnesses like autoimmune disease, the good news is these diseases can be avoided and even reversed by Dr. Fuhrman’s Nutritarian approach. His newest book, Eat for Life demonstrates that nutritional excellence has miraculous benefits; and with its recipes, proves that it can taste phenomenal too. The case histories of his clients in the book and new information about health and nutrition from the medical literature will make you an informed decision maker. This is the gift you have to take and own, yourself.
Dr. Fuhrman is my mentor who turned me towards looking into becoming a lifestyle optimization expert. I credit him for my nutritional approach with his abundant knowledge, generosity in sharing his knowledge and energy, and the time spent interning under his care just before his absolute launch to complete stardom. That being said, his newest book will allow you to sample all there is to know about nutritional wisdom. Teach yourself this way of living and you will be healthier than you ever thought you could be.
Please rate the podcast, share with 3 others and give it a thumbs up! Thank you for watching. Until next week...

Tiffany is on a mission to educate and empower women (and men) to have peace of mind in avoiding and handling a physical attack, and with that...protecting everything that they've worked so hard for in life.
At 20 years old, Tiffany fought off an attacker using the only 3 basic techniques she knew. Her attack lit a fire in her, and she did not stop until she earned her 2 different 2nd degree black belts in street-smart self-defense.
Tiffany has been speaking and educating on both the techniques, and the mindset of self-defense for over 20 years. She discusses all things personal safety, from how to keep burglars from targeting your home...to how to carry yourself in a way that wipes yourself off the victim list of an attacker.
I loved this conversation with Tiffany and if you're game to learn more about relationships, this podcast is definitely a two for one!

There are few stories I've heard as moving and impactful as that of Ghazi Muhammad. His story of not changing, but transforming his life is awe-inspiring. Ghazi grew up a rebellious at-risk-youth in St. Louis and was sent to prison at the age of 17. He spent 7 years in prison and 3.5 years in solitary confinement, where he began his love for reading and study.
Ghazi was released from prison and soon after began to build himself a life of purpose. Being a single father with four children, Ghazi committed himself to helping high schoolers in the inner city of St. Louis. He found his passion in helping others be the good they had the potential to be.
Year later, in what turned out to be a twist of fate, Ghazi was invited to give a speech by a renowned public speaker. When he finished, he received a standing ovation. That event gave Ghazi the incredible leap of faith allowing him to transcend the self-imposed fears that were holding him back.
Today, Ghazi has impacted tens of thousands of people; ranging from CEOs, entrepreneurs, mothers, convicts and at-risk-youth with a his coaching curriculum, FELON 2.0. Reach out to Ghazi for business coaching, public speaking or anything else you might need!

Beatrice defied the odds. Beatrice aged out of the foster system and became a college graduate with a job she loves. She is a family oriented woman with a family she doesn't take for granted.
This story is pure emotion, passion, love and healing energy. Send your love to Beatrice and if you're looking for a home, go to someone with heart and a passion for community and family.

Christina Gore suffered a traumatic brain injury that resulted in a 16 year chronic daily headache. She happened to come upon the True North Health Center. One medically supervised water-fast of 40 days did not result in headache remission. Many people would have quit, but not Christina. At the end of a second water fast, on day 41, she experienced a complete absence of her headache. It never returned.
Christina's story does not end there. She started to experience symptoms in her left arm and leg that rapidly progressed to deterioration of proper functioning. After many neurologists without a correct diagnosis, she was finally diagnosed with Parkinson's. Still hungry for optimal results, Christina found a treatment for the Parkinson's that set her on a path that has led her to her to the present day with desirable health.

It is an absolute honor to host Dr. Kevin Pecca on The Rise Again Podcast. Kevin's identify in life became his love for ice hockey. A serious concussion playing hockey resulted in a terrible constellation of symptoms; headaches, "brain fog", dizziness, anxiety, depression, tremors and pain that would not go away.
Treatment for four years left him feeling helpless and near suicide. In a twist of depressed fate, he visited a priest who listened to his story, and told him that he needed to find the root cause of the problem. Kevin's searching landed him in a Blair Upper Cervical office which catalyzed the healing immediately and gave him his life back.
Now Dr. Kevin Pecca, DC shares this gift at his practice, Monteclair Upper Cervical Chiropractic. Listen to this story and check out Kevin's amazing work!

Today on The Rise Again Podcast, I'm pleased to host Dr. Joel Fuhrman, MD. Dr. Fuhrman has saved more lives and helped tens of thousands recover their health and choose their health destiny.
Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian lifestyle is focused on maximizing micronutrients in a state of comprehensive nutritional adequacy, maximizing hormone favorability, and minimizing toxic exposures. This is his secret recipe for health and wellness, for life. Using this formula with my patients, I've seen this formula turn disease around into health, time and time again.
We dive into slowing aging, extending healthy lifespan and food addiction using food as medicine. We delve into the topic of toxic hunger being the root cause of overweight and illness. However, we now have the science to show that we can change our perceptions of hunger as well as our palates to prefer a way of eating that is ideal for health. We talk about food addiction, withdrawal and the time needed to adjust to a healthy way of eating. The new Eat to Live Retreat in San Diego serves as a mecca for those who wish to change their lives and escape the trap of food addiction.
I recommend listening and taking notes. Pick up one of his books and start on a plan to lose weight and feel great!
