Dr. Sean Pastuch is a chiropractor who founded Active Life to create opportunities for people to live active, fulfilling lives. He recognized that the fitness industry is great for people who are already healthy, and the healthcare industry is great at helping people who are sick, but there is a huge group who live between healthy and sick. I invited Sean to join me on the podcast to talk about his approach to fitness, which he calls "practical fitness". He explains how to incorporate practical fitness into your current fitness routine and discusses the benefits of training for longevity and health, rather than for aesthetics. The Cliff Notes Sean's career journey What is Active Life and how is different from what others in the fitness industry are doing? Practical fitness vs. functional fitness How to incorporate practical fitness into your life Training for longevity and health compared with training for aesthetics About Sean Dr. Sean Pastuch founded Active Life as a solution to the problems he experienced over a decade and a half of clinical practice and personal training experience. Sean started his career at the very bottom of the fitness industry cleaning mirrors and organizing equipment at a privately owned bodybuilding gym and worked his way up to being a top performer for the world recognized Equinox Fitness Clubs. He went on to earn a doctorate of Chiropractic and spent almost ten years in clinical practice. He has put the skills he developed through his unique life experience to create an industry shifting system that evolves fitness to function as healthcare in an inspiring, profitable way. Active Life has helped over 100 boutique gyms to generate personal training revenues that exceed their entire group membership revenue in an industry where personal training did not even exist prior to Active Life's arrival. They have supported big box health clubs from pre launch to maturity, ensuring the personal training department was hired, developed, and incentivized in such a way that staff churn was negligible as was management burden. They have helped established big box health clubs to transform personal training departments from thorn in ownership's side to industry leading departments that lead to the owners of the gym speaking at international conferences on the value of personal training and how to build it. If you are looking for cultural change to the personal training department at your club to turn it into the pride of the gym, look no further than Dr. Sean and Active Life.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Bill Harris to dive into the topic of Omega 3 fatty acids and their importance to our health. We discussed what fatty acids are, whether Americans are getting enough, and whether you should supplement with Omega-3s. Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He co-invented the Omega-3 Index in 2004 and made it commercially available to the research community and the public in 2009 when he founded the company OmegaQuant. To date, the Omega-3 Index has been used as the standard measure of omega-3 status in more than 200 clinical studies.

The Cliff Notes

What are fatty acids and what are their importance

Differences between Omega-3 (EPA, DHA, ALA) vs. Omega-6s

Omega-3s in the American diet and are we getting enough?

Evaluating Omega 3 Supplements and what to look for

Ideal EPA to DHA ratios and why this is important

OmegaQuant and Invention of the Omega-3 Index Test

About Dr. Harris

Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism with Dr. Bill Connor at the Oregon Health Sciences University.

His interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health.

He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease” (2002), and “Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease” (2009) both published in the journal Circulation.

Dr. Harris co-invented the Omega-3 Index in 2004 and made it commercially available to the research community and the public in 2009. To date, the Omega-3 Index has been used as the standard measure of omega-3 status in more than 200 clinical studies.

Dr. Harris is also a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota.

Dr. Harris moved on as OmegaQuant’s President in late 2020 to establish the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI), where he will go back to his roots of conducting research on fatty acids and health.

This week, I sat down with Natalie Paterson, cofounder and CEO of ingarden, to talk about microgreens and their amazing health benefits. Microgreens are the seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs and are packed full of micronutrients. ingarden is a unique hydroponic system that allows you to grow microgreens in your home. Natalie discussed how ingarden works, the benefits of growing your own microgreens, and how to incorporate these nutrient powerhouses into your meals. Natalie was also kind enough to provide me with a discount code so you can get your own ingarden!

To get 10% off your purchase on ingarden, use code blueprint10: https://ingarden.com/shop/?utm_source=blueprint10&utm_medium=crm&utm_campaign=podcast

About Natalie:

Natalie is a cofounder and CEO of ingarden. Natalie has a background in nutrition and is currently completing her Master of Science in Food Science. She grew up in New Zealand and was inspired by her Māori upbringing to explore the value of growing your own food. In particular, Natalie is drawn to the Māori saying “he kai kei aku ringa,” which means “food from my hands.” For Natalie, this idiom illustrates that in today’s society, there is often no connection between people, food, and nutrition.

After studying food and nutrition in depth, she concluded that growing microgreens at home and directly harnessing their immense nutritional power is the best way to smoothly make people’s lives more nutritious and sustainable. With ingarden, Natalie has found a way to improve our diets through innovative, fresh, and easily accessible food without sacrificing convenience and comfort

The Cliff Notes

  • Natalie's roots and how she became passionate about nutrition and health
  • Nutrition vs. Food Science
  • Explaining ingarden and how she started the business
  • What are microgreens and what are some of the benefits of growing your own and including them in your diet?
  • How do hydroponics work and how it can be a sustainable way to grow microgreens?
  • Time it takes to grow microgreens using her system
  • How to incorporate microgreens into your meals?

Dear Listener,

In today’s episode I decided to continue on a rant I started on Instagram in regards to a new bill that was signed into law in the state of Florida by Governor De Santis that directly impacts registered dietitians.

Last week (June 30th, 2020), CrossFit HQ published an article on their website recognizing a “victory” in the state of florida as now “CrossFit Trainers” will be able to provide nutrition advice. I would consider this far from a victory, but a major liability and I wanted to dive deep into this topic in today’s episode

What I covered today

  • My Academic background
  • What would happen if this law would apply to other health professionals like chiropractors and physical therapists
  • Why did CrossFit take this law to heart?
  • My views on nutritionists and non-RD practitioners who are providing personalized nutrition support
  • Popular Opinion on RDs and why not all RDs are great coaches, just like not all great coaches are RDs
  • How to become an informed consumer and learn to choose smartly who you work with?

Here are some resources cited in the podcast

In this episode of VNR I shared some awesome insights of a recent Dairy Farm tour that the people from Florida Milk took us on. We had the privilege to visit Milkin R a family-owned and operated dairy farm in south Florida.

I have never been to a dairy farm in my life but it was a very great experience to see first hand a dairy operation and also get to ask questions in such a controversial topic nowadays.

Here is what I covered in this episode:

  • Typical misconceptions in the dairy industry
  • The use of Antibiotics and rBST
  • How cows are taken care of in this farm
  • The milking process
  • How documentaries put things out of context in the dairy world

Thanks to the RUCKS Family for opening their doors to give us some real insights into the operations of their dairy farm and being transparent with their practices.

Got milk?

Welcome back to Episode #67 on Vive Nutrition Radio

Today’s conversation is all about sleep. I have been reading a book called Why We Sleep by Dr. Matthew Walker and I have been just literally frightened by how sleep deprivation affects us in many ways.

I will make it my year’s mission to bring Dr. Walker into the podcast, but for now, you will hear me share some really interesting studies and research behind the impact sleep deprivation can have on fat loss.

This is a recording of a conversation I had with some of my clients in a group accountability call we had last week and the feedback was just awesome.

Here is what we covered:

  • The cycles of sleep and what’s the function of each
  • What is considered sleep deprivation
  • What happens to our hunger levels when we don’t sleep enough
  • Endocannabinoid system and lack of sleep.
  • Why we crave more foods and have a lack of control when we don’t sleep as much
  • How sleep affects your body composition during weight loss
  • Questions and answers

Hope you enjoy this episode and share your comments and feedback via Instagram or feel free to shoot me an email to info@vive-nutrition.com
