In this episode of The PEAKS Life we interview David Woodward who has a fascinating background and experience across corporate life and whose story encompasses what he calls ‘Executive Yoga'.
David was born in Tehran and lived in southern Iran until 1968 when his family returned to U.S. When he was 13 his parents were killed in a car accident and this became the signature event of his life. Through his upbringing and early youth David developed a fascination for languages and cultures of the world. He has studied ancient history and became interested in all forms of ancient wisdom, culture and the intersectionality of all cultures. Over the course of his career David has led multi-site organizations, been in national and international roles, including corporate board and organizational development, and setting up strategic relationships worldwide. In addition David has initiated the development of various business startups and educational projects involving small businesses, universities, corporations, and government agencies within the U.S. and in peer regions of the world.
David is President of the American Consortium of Universities, Senior Advisor for Strategic Outreach for INTERLINK International Institutes, and Special Assistant for International Relations for Seattle Pacific University. In recent years David’s interest turned to yoga because decades of intense work, travel, responsibility and stress had caused him to have increasing symptoms of anxiety attacks and possible cardio-related problems.
David now has a mission to demonstrate to Executives that Yoga can be done anywhere, even in a business suit! He also discovered along the way through journaling, reflection and sharing with others that a fear of death was a deep constant and that this related to his parents' premature death.
We talk to David about his health and how self-reflection and yoga have taught him much about personal integration, vulnerability, creativity and easing of anxiety and fear as well as making tremendous improvement in his wellness. You can find out more about David’s Executive Yoga by connecting with him on Instagram @warden_of_the_wood

We are very excited to bring you this episode of The PEAKS Life with health and food coach Nagina Abdullah. We talk to Nagina about mindset >> having a process to follow >> planning your food >> accountability >> foods that energise. Nagina had personally struggled with losing weight her whole life and once she’d had 2 kids and was working in an incredibly demanding career for a top consulting firm in NY she thought it was never going to be possible. After all who can lose weight when they are jumping on planes, travelling, working 12 hour days, staying in hotels and having no set routine. Nagina wasn’t prepared to accept the way she looked and felt, she wanted to look sexy again for her husband, fit into her favourite clothes and be able to do fun things with the kids like go for a hike or to the park. Nagina made a decision to change and through significant research found ways to make small changes that eventually led to significant weight loss of around 40 lbs. / 18 kgs. The weight stayed off without counting calories, measuring portion sizes, or feeling like she was deprived. Now Nagina has also changed her life and she specialises in helping busy women lose weight, so they can again fit into a bikini, wear their favorite skinny jeans and feel great about they look. You can read more about Nagina’s weight loss methods at her website https://masalabody.com

We were very excited to be joined on The PEAKS Life by long time friend Kirsten Murphy. Kirsten is a longevity biohacker and keto coach. She grew up in Perth, Australia, and studied Sports Science in the early 90s when carb-loading for physical performance and low-fat-everything was all the rage. All of her nutrition beliefs were turned on their head in 2009 when she started training at her local CrossFit gym and learnt about the Paleo Diet. Kirsten's own personal transformation inspired her and husband Match to set up one of Australia's first CrossFit gyms, Cooee CrossFit, in Perth in 2010. However, a health scare in 2016 led to the discovery of the Keto Diet and a major shift in lifestyle, work and home for both of them. Kirsten now lives in Bali and travels the world helping others to optimise their health with the keto lifestyle. We talk to Kirsten about her top tips for anyone starting a keto journey and the impact having skin cancer has had, her views on sun exposure, amongst other things.
