A strong marriage isn't built by simply staying together. It's built by continuing to notice, communicate, and choose each other even after the honeymoon phase is over.
In this episode, we break down the red flags that can damage a relationship, why date nights and personal space still matter, and how trust, fairness, and accountability can keep small problems from becoming permanent ones.
Your relationship deserves the same attention you give your business, career, and goals. Are you still putting in the work to protect your marriage?
Accountability is leverage.

When a client says, "You're too expensive," the worst thing you can do is lower your price.
In this episode, Anthony and Yao break down how to handle price objections, communicate value instead of cost, and attract clients who respect what you bring to the table. They also discuss scarcity, free work, follow-ups, and why confidence in your pricing starts long before the sales call.
What's the biggest pricing objection you've ever heard?

The biggest lie you can tell yourself is that someone else is responsible for your life.
Your environment matters. The people around you matter. But at the end of the day, you're the one making the decisions.
In this episode, we break down what it really means to be "self-made," why your circle shapes your future, how guilt keeps people trapped, and why taking ownership is the first step toward freedom.
If your life stayed exactly the same for the next five years, who would be responsible?

Your life can change because of one conversation.
For Shane Wend, it started with a simple comment and became a lifelong commitment to health, discipline, and helping others perform at their best.
In this episode, we talk about building confidence through action, taking risks as an entrepreneur, hiring the right people, and why your audience matters more than your service.
What's one decision that completely changed the direction of your life?

You can't fix what you refuse to look at.
Checking your bank account, tracking your spending, and knowing where your money goes sounds basic. But awareness is where financial accountability starts.
It doesn't matter how much you make if your lifestyle grows faster than your income. More money won't fix habits you refuse to control.
Do you actually know where your money went this month?
Accountability is leverage.

Everyone wants to become a trillionaire.
Almost nobody wants to pay the price.
Extreme success demands extreme sacrifice. It costs time, comfort, relationships, and years of relentless focus that most people will never see.
In this episode, we break down what it really takes to build at the highest level, why mission comes before comfort, and the trade-offs that come with chasing something extraordinary.
Would you be willing to sacrifice comfort for a chance at building something that outlives you?

If your energy is low, your sleep is broken, and your habits are falling apart, your business, career, and relationships will eventually follow.
In this episode, we talk about why fitness is leverage, how small daily habits build discipline, and why waiting for a health scare is the worst time to start taking care of yourself.
What's one habit you know you need to fix today?

Most people don't have a pricing problem. They have a value problem.
If your first instinct is to discount, you're training people to buy based on price instead of results.
Free work can build trust. But if you keep giving away what works, don't be surprised when people stop valuing it.
In this episode, we break down when free is smart, when it's self-sabotage, and why authority beats discounts every time.
What's one thing you've stopped discounting?

Most people think accountability means admitting when you're wrong. It doesn't.
Real accountability is taking ownership and changing your behavior. That's where growth happens.
In this episode, we discuss why accountability is leverage, how boundaries create healthier relationships, why some people stay stuck in the same patterns, and how leaders can create stronger teams through clear expectations and communication.
What area of your life needs more accountability right now?

Hiring your friends feels like loyalty until the first time you need to correct them, cut their hours, or fire them. We talk through the real cost of mixing friendship and payroll, why it almost always backfires, and how we learned to set rules that protect the business without treating people like robots. If you’ve ever felt guilty for being “too blunt” as a boss, this conversation will reset how you think about respect, leadership, and boundaries.
We get specific about where things go wrong: becoming socially close to employees, bringing them into your home, even hiring someone you’re dating. Once private info and workplace decisions mix, trust collapses fast and the drama spreads. We also debate staff outings and “team culture” and why being too accessible can quietly drain your authority. The takeaway is practical: you can sponsor the fun and still keep the power gap that lets you lead on Monday.
From there, we dig into what to do when you already blurred the line. We share tactics for hard conversations, cooling-off time after terminations, and “hiring for your weakness” by putting a manager in place so decisions stay clean and less emotional. We also zoom out into partnerships and networking: the closer the relationship, the more legal guardrails you need, and the best connections come from adding value, building a skill set, and asking directly for referrals.
If you want stronger relationships and a stronger company, start measuring respect by what people say about you when you’re not in the room, and keep the friends who hold you accountable. Subscribe for more real-world business lessons, share this with a business owner who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest boundary struggle.

Blame feels like relief for about five seconds, then it quietly steals your power. Yaw and I are taking this show in a sharper direction by focusing on accountability and how personal responsibility creates real leverage, in your business, your relationships, and your mindset.
We start with a blunt leadership lesson from entrepreneurship: hiring friends because you like them is not a strategy. When your team fails, the client holds you responsible, and that forces the toughest kind of growth: owning your discernment, your standards, and your decisions. From there, we go deeper into the “ceiling fan moment” or “couch moment” when you finally admit, “I’m the reason things aren’t changing,” and everything starts to move.
The conversation gets raw with bullying, a suicide attempt, and the difference between empathy and sympathy. We talk about how healing still requires agency, how becoming more outgoing took years of intentional effort, and why joy is different from temporary happiness. We also hit the culture of dependence, the temptation to keep blaming parents or the system, and the hard truth that blaming someone else makes you powerless. Along the way we discuss parenting, self-defense, and why your circle matters when you’re trying to level up.
If you’ve been stuck in the same problems, the same patterns, or the same complaints, this one is a reset. Subscribe for more, share it with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review with your answer: what are you taking accountability for next?

A birthday can be a party, or it can feel like a receipt that shows exactly where your time went. That tension is where we start. I’m turning 36, and I’m honest about the part I hate: birthdays remind me that time is moving, goals still feel far away, and “later” is not a strategy. From there, Yaw and I get into the mindset that actually helps me: urgency without recklessness, speed without chaos, and deadlines that force real decisions.
We talk about why speed is a skill you build through repetition, not something you’re born with. We connect that to entrepreneurship, productivity, and leadership: if you want a business that grows, you need routines, redundancies, self-audits, and people who produce instead of people who just talk. We also go deep on relationships and jealousy, the subtle ways people reduce your wins, and why your circle either expands your future or keeps you trapped in the past.
Then we zoom out to the bigger stuff: mortality mindset, health optimization, and the idea that life is more like poker than a promise. You can’t control everything, but you can improve the odds by changing the cards you’re holding. Finally, we bring it home to fatherhood, accountability, and legacy, because when your “why” becomes your kids, wasted time stops being tolerable.

Most raise advice I hear is built on hope: work hard, wait long enough, and eventually somebody notices. I don’t buy that.
I believe if you want more money, you need leverage and leverage comes from measurable value. In this episode, I break down a cleaner, tougher, and more practical approach to salary growth. I talk about how to connect your work directly to business growth, how to think in ROI, and why “I’ve been here for years” is not a real salary negotiation strategy.
I also get practical about systems. If you are an employer, I explain why having a documented SOP for raises with clear standards, targets, and timelines prevents confusion and protects company culture. If you are an employee, I share how to ask for a raise without sounding entitled, including the exact type of language I would use to pitch a project that increases revenue or saves the company money. I also dive into transparency, when sharing numbers motivates a team, when it creates jealousy, and how public scorecards can improve performance when expectations are clear.
Then I get into the uncomfortable truths: loyalty, competition, and why compensation should reflect output. I talk about what happens when your boss still says no, how to create leverage with outside job offers, and why job hopping is statistically one of the fastest ways to increase income, especially when companies cap growth while inflation keeps moving.
If you want a higher salary, a promotion, and real career growth, this episode is the playbook.

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew to hear the real story behind building a martial arts studio that has survived for 31 years. We talk about the setbacks that shaped him first, from pursuing criminal justice and trying multiple times to become a police officer, to finally reaching a breaking point where he had to ask himself: What do I actually control, and what do I do next?
That question changed everything.
We dive into how Andrew built his business from the ground up, how his first student walked through the door, and how referrals, community relationships, and consistency helped grow the dojo over time. We also get honest about the difficult parts of entrepreneurship: rising rent, unexpected damage, insurance costs, emergencies, and the pressure that comes with trying to keep a business alive.
One of the biggest conversations in this episode is about pricing and why so many business owners struggle to charge what they’re worth. We talk about burnout, resentment, helping people long-term, and why undercharging can actually hurt both the business owner and the people they serve.
We also touch on leadership, parenting, bullying prevention, accountability, empathy versus sympathy, and the lessons COVID taught business owners about emergency funds, systems, and adapting under pressure.
If you’re interested in martial arts, entrepreneurship, leadership, fitness, or building something that lasts, this conversation has a lot of value in it.

In this episode, I talk about how you can learn more about leadership from one tough question than from a hundred motivational quotes: would you keep this employee, or fire them?
I put myself on the spot with ten rapid scenarios that every manager eventually faces, from “I’m late again” to missed deadlines, sloppy follow through, blame shifting, and even walking out early because the day’s tasks are done. My answers are direct, sometimes ruthless, but always anchored in one core belief: responsibility shows up before the problem does.
We dive into why communication is the first real performance metric. If someone flags traffic, workload, or a looming deadline risk early, the team can solve it together. But when they wait until after the damage is done, trust erodes fast. I also break down one of the toughest gray areas, personal issues, and share my approach of empathy over sympathy, making space for real life without allowing it to turn into ongoing underperformance.
Along the way, I talk about SOPs, training, and building a culture of ownership, when it is on the leader to clarify instructions, when repeated mistakes become a pattern, and why “I thought it was someone else’s job” can slowly destroy a team from within.
We close with high stakes accountability around sales goals and urgency, because if revenue does not move, the business does not either.
Listen, then share this with a manager or founder who needs a clearer standard and leave a review if it helps you lead with more confidence.
Where do you draw your line on keep vs fire?

Yaw and I break down the reality of entrepreneurship and the loneliness that can come with it. Even when you’re surrounded by people and things look like they’re working, it can still feel like you’re carrying everything on your own.
We talk about building the right team, understanding that not everyone will care the way you do, and how to find the right people around you who actually challenge you and hold you accountable. We also get into how your perspective starts to shift as you grow, in business and in life.
If you’ve ever felt that weight or questioned who’s really in your corner, this conversation will hit.

Two brothers working under the same roof sounds simple… until you hear what actually powers it. On this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, Anthonytalks with guests Devin and Tyler about the shared family code that shaped who they are today—built on hard work, consistency, and refusing to quit on yourself.
Anthony dives into the defining moments that influenced them, from watching their dad come home exhausted and still show up for his kids, to how that example became the standard they now carry into personal training, coaching, and everyday life. If you care about mindset, discipline, leadership, and building confidence through effort, this conversation hits fast.
He also gets into the tough conversations people usually avoid. Is being “selfish” always a bad thing, or can it be the responsible choice when protecting your family and setting priorities? Who really comes first when you’re balancing a spouse, kids, siblings, and parents—and how does that shift over time? The conversation also explores competition and happiness, what it means to hate losing, why the process matters more than the outcome, and how to raise kids in sports without teaching them to fear failure or chase empty validation.
Bringing it back to gym culture and coaching quality, Anthony Amen breaks down what “client first” actually means in fitness, why education will always beat trendy workouts, and how great teams are built by protecting standards before chasing growth. Whether you’re a trainer, athlete, or just trying to get stronger without wasting time, you’ll hear what truly separates quality from noise.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the college question was never really about education—it’s about outcomes. Growing up, I constantly heard, “What school are you going to?” like there wasn’t even another path. Now I’m starting to challenge that script by actually looking at real numbers, real stories, and what a degree really gets you in 2026.
On one hand, I can see what college does build. It’s not just academics—it’s communication, structure, and discipline. I remember hearing Anthony talk about the moment discipline finally clicked for him: waking up at 5 AM just to chase extra credit so he could hit the grade he needed. That kind of consistency matters, and college can force you into it.
But then I have to ask myself the uncomfortable question—could I build those same skills faster somewhere else? Like through real-life consequences, work experience, or even starting something on my own? Because when I really think about it, some parts of college feel like pure filler: padded requirements, random classes, and this weird pressure to pick a major that doesn’t clearly connect to a career.
Then there’s the financial side, which is hard to ignore. Student debt, tuition, and especially the interest—it’s something most people don’t fully calculate until it’s too late. When I compare that to alternatives like trade school or apprenticeships, it really makes me pause. In those paths, I could get paid to learn, build real skills, and start earning without putting myself in a financial hole.
And now with AI changing everything, I can’t help but think about which careers are actually future-proof. A lot of high-paying, paperwork-heavy jobs seem more exposed to automation, while roles built around human connection still feel more secure.
At the end of the day, I’m not sure there’s a one-size-fits-all answer. I just know the conversation is shifting, and I’m trying to think more critically about what path actually makes sense—not just for me, but for the next generation too.

We also touch on assets vs liabilities, investing, and how understanding your numbers changes everything.

The wedding doesn’t magically upgrade your relationship. The real upgrade or the real collapse usually starts when the pressure hits: kids, sleep loss, money stress, business risk, and the moment you realize the help stops showing up.
Anthony Amon from Redefined Fitness and Yao get honest about what marriage looks like when you’re building a business and raising a family at the same time. Anthony tells the story of being the guy who took a great woman for granted, hit a “what am I doing with my life” moment, and rebuilt himself through responsibility, discipline, and opening his first gym. That journey exposes painful lessons about friendships, boundaries, and how fast your circle changes when you stop living the old life.
We also go deep on divorce prevention mindset, including the “burn the boats” approach to commitment, why taking your partner for granted kills long-term love, and how to “fall in love again” on purpose after conflict. Then we debate a question that makes most couples pause: who should come first in a family, your kids or your spouse, and what does a unified front actually look like in real parenting decisions?
If you’re navigating entrepreneurship, marriage advice that isn’t fluffy, communication problems, or the emotional whiplash of building a life under pressure, this conversation will give you language and tools you can use today.

A single bad fall can change everything, especially when the “standard” plan is pills and bed rest and you keep getting worse. That’s where Dr. Jeff Block’s story starts, and it quickly turns into a bigger conversation about what chiropractic care really looks like when it’s built around athletes, movement, and consistent problem solving for back pain and neck pain. We talk about the moment he realized he wanted a career where people get better and the clinician actually enjoys the work, not just survives it.
From there, we get honest about entrepreneurship and small business growth. Jeff walks us through opening a practice with barely any patients, then building momentum the old-school way: walking into local businesses, meeting gym owners, offering something useful first, and earning trust over time. We also hit the professional stigma chiropractic used to carry, how that reputation has shifted, and why personal trainers, physical therapists, and chiropractors do better when they stop competing and start understanding each role in the rehab and fitness pipeline.
The second half goes deep on mindset and decision-making. Jeff shares the “car theory” of focus, how written goals change what you notice, and a Rolex story that proves preparation can turn a random moment into a real win. We also dig into AI in healthcare, practice management, HIPAA constraints, and what leaders need to learn from younger clinicians and new technology. Finally, we talk patient compliance, behavior change, and the hardest lesson of all: you can’t care more about someone’s health than they do, but you can coach them toward ownership.

In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, Yaw steps into the spotlight to answer the question everyone keeps asking: who is he, and how did he get here so fast?
Yaw shares his full story, from growing up in New York with Ghanaian immigrant parents and facing real financial struggles, to chasing a safe path in medicine while quietly feeling unfulfilled. He opens up about discipline, hunger, and the pressure to succeed, and how a $400 camera became the turning point that changed everything.
The conversation dives into the early struggles of filmmaking, learning skills the hard way, dealing with rejection, and building confidence without external validation. Yaw also shares a major failure that cost him a client, and how taking ownership led to a second chance that changed his trajectory.
From there, the journey expands into international storytelling, filming in the Dominican Republic and Nigeria, and using content to create real impact. This episode is about risk, growth, and choosing your own path even when it goes against expectations.

Most job advice is polite. This one is practical, a little ruthless, and built from the employer side of the table. We walk through what actually separates the candidate who gets a call back from the pile of “easy apply” submissions. If you’re trying to get hired in fitness, sales, marketing, or any role where your attitude and effort show up fast, you’ll hear exactly what hiring managers notice first: attention to detail, real curiosity, and proof you’ll take work off their plate.
We talk about the non-negotiables that quietly disqualify people every day: sloppy resumes, skipped screening questions, and answers that look like they were pasted from AI. Then we get into the moves almost nobody makes like showing up in person, learning the culture, talking with staff, and doing your research so you can walk into an interview sounding like you already belong there. We also debate the “is that too much?” moments, from bringing a small thoughtful gesture to using creative outreach that gets your name remembered.
The biggest takeaway is a simple mindset shift: don’t ask to be trained, show how you’ll create ROI. We break down how to answer the killer question “What do your first 30 days look like?” with a plan that shows initiative, self-learning, and solutions. We even close with a blueprint for asking for a raise or promotion without sounding entitled.

Six years to break even sounds like failure on paper, but it can also be the moment your business finally tells the truth. We dig into one of the hardest questions in gym ownership and entrepreneurship: when is it worth staying in the fight, and when is it time to change course? We talk candidly about money goals versus mission goals, how burnout creeps in, and why ego is often the real reason a fitness business stalls.
From there, we get practical about leadership and growth. If you love the craft but hate the job of running the company, you might not need to quit, you might need to change seats. We unpack the idea of hiring the right operator so the founder can focus on what they do best, plus why investing in education, mentorship, and high-level workshops can compress years of trial-and-error into a few focused hours. Your business can change vehicles, but the skills you build as a leader do not disappear.
We also break down hiring through a simple skill vs will framework that helps gym owners protect culture and performance. You will hear why high-skill low-will team members can quietly drain clients and morale, how to develop high-will low-skill people into stars, and when it is best to make a clean cut. Finally, we tackle a classic pricing problem: a competitor opens across the street and undercuts you. We explain why price wars destroy margins and how brand, value, and positioning help you win long-term in the local fitness market.

“Entrepreneurship gives you freedom” is the line everyone loves to repeat, but we put it on trial and the verdict gets complicated fast. We talk about the kind of freedom business ownership can actually buy: control of your time, control of your schedule, and the ability to choose what you’re building your life around. Then we get honest about the part nobody posts online, the mental load of always thinking, fixing, improving, and carrying responsibility even when you’re not at work.
From there, we zoom out into purpose and mental health. We compare entrepreneurs who “make it” and still feel empty with retirees who lose structure after decades of a 9-to-5. The takeaway is blunt: humans need meaning, and comfort without a mission can lead to boredom, depression, and bad decisions. Freedom isn’t escaping work, it’s choosing a purpose you’re willing to sacrifice for and getting to decide how you spend your effort.
We also break down entrepreneurship myths that hit founders in the face: managing employees is harder than expected, systems matter more than willpower, and scaling forces you to upgrade the skills on your team. We call out social media entrepreneurship and the “online coach” fantasy, explain why the first dollars are the hardest, and why multitasking is a trap that kills output. If you’re building a startup, buying a small business, or just curious about the real founder mindset, this one will sharpen your expectations. Subscribe, share this with a friend who wants to start a business, and leave a review. What does “freedom” mean to you?

Motivation sounds great until it disappears on a random Tuesday. We kick off a rapid-fire game that quickly turns into a real, practical debate about discipline vs motivation, consistency vs skill, and why “starting” is often the only hack that matters. If you care about habits, personal growth, and building an entrepreneurial mindset that survives bad moods, you’ll get a lot out of this one.
We go back and forth on speed vs precision with a lesson every founder and creator needs: execution beats perfection when you’re testing the market, which is why tech teams obsess over the minimal viable product (MVP). From there, we hit the money questions too, revenue vs reputation, fortune vs fame, and why chasing comfort can quietly kill your edge. Expect strong opinions, a few disagreements, and the kind of examples you can actually use at work tomorrow.
The second half gets more “CEO brain”: leverage vs hustle, avoiding burnout, and how sleep and self-care affect decision-making when you’re under pressure. We also dig into delegation vs control, keeping your hands on the highest-leverage moves while handing off the work that drains you. We close with risk vs security, a blunt look at how the school system can punish unorthodox thinking, and why social media and AI are changing the opportunity map for anyone willing to bet on themselves.

Ever look at a medical bill and wonder who actually gets paid—and why the numbers make no sense? We sat down with Dr. Christopher Eamon, interventional pain physician, and Tim Groth, CEO of Groth Pain & Spine, to map the full journey from exam room to reimbursement, and the hidden incentives shaping your care. From CPT and ICD-10 codes to clearinghouses and payer edits, we break down the back-end machinery that turns a note into a claim, and a claim into money… or a denial.
We get candid about audits and takebacks—how Medicare can pay without prior review, then claw funds back years later—forcing practices to repay money already used to run clinics and pay doctors. That risk pushes small practices to the brink while large health systems negotiate two to five times Medicare rates and pass higher coinsurance onto patients. The price gap explains why your deductible hits harder at a hospital than at an independent office, and why many clinicians feel trapped between quality and volume.
Then we tackle approvals and gatekeeping: why evidence-based procedures like spinal cord stimulation stall under shifting rules, how “peer-to-peer” often means a non-specialist reading policy instead of the literature, and how hours spent appealing denials come straight out of patient time. We share real examples of arbitrary criteria, odd denials, and the emotional toll of telling a patient the best option won’t be covered.
So how do independent practices survive? By rethinking workflows with scribes and extended intakes, building multidisciplinary teams, and cross-subsidizing essential but underpaid services. We explore concierge care as a lifeline for time and access, the rise of MSOs to pool admin costs, and the hard truth that rate-setting often bears little relation to clinical complexity. Along the way, we confront the broken math of premiums, deductibles, and end-of-life spending—and ask what smarter tradeoffs could look like if we valued healthier years over bureaucratic churn.
If you’ve ever felt lost in prior auths, frustrated by surprise bills, or curious why a surgeon might earn less than a device rep in the same case, this conversation will connect the dots and give you language to ask better questions. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s wrestling with the system, and leave a review with your biggest insurance or billing mystery—we’ll tackle it in a future show.

Menopause can feel like your body changed the rules without telling you. In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, Anthony sits down with Dr. Vanessa Soviero, an OB GYN and certified menopause specialist, to cut through the confusion around hormones, weight gain, energy loss, and what actually works for women navigating menopause today.
They discuss symptoms many people do not immediately connect to hormones such as joint pain, brain fog, skin changes, and stubborn belly fat, and why being told it will pass often leaves women struggling longer than necessary. Dr. Soviero breaks down common misconceptions from the WHI study, explains when hormone therapy may be appropriate, and explores evidence based nonhormonal options for women looking for real relief.
The conversation also gets practical. Anthony and Dr. Soviero talk about strength training for bone density and metabolism, nutrition shifts that help manage cravings when sleep and hormones are disrupted, and how visceral fat and insulin resistance can change during midlife. You will also hear about creatine monohydrate, sleep strategies that can make a real difference, and why an individualized realistic plan matters more than chasing quick fixes.
Beyond the science, they discuss real world challenges women face including limited time with providers, overwhelming supplement advice, and navigating health information online. If you have felt dismissed, confused, or unsure where to start, this episode offers a grounded honest conversation designed to help you move forward with clarity.
Subscribe to The Anthony Amen Show for more conversations on fitness, health, and real world lifestyle change, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

What happens when a “lifer” job meets a restless mind and a real shot at purpose? We sit down with John friend, accountability partner, and newly minted real estate pro to trace the unglamorous path from corporate security to building a business with skin in the game. No highlight reels here: you’ll hear about the fear that almost won, the detours that created unfair advantages, and the moments where debt and deadlines forced a higher gear.
John opens up about the comfort and dread of a well-paid role at a defense contractor, the chance encounter that made time feel dangerously fast, and the years it took to finally jump. We dig into why motivation fails and why disciplined action—tiny, consistent, sometimes uncomfortable steps stacks into confidence. You’ll hear how a construction apprenticeship with his father-in-law turned into a secret weapon for buyers and sellers: reading floor plans, spotting oil leaks, estimating fixes, and translating stress into options. That hands-on knowledge set him apart in a crowded real estate field.
Then we talk commitment. Two weeks into his new path, John took out a 0% APR line and poured nearly ten thousand dollars into Facebook and Zillow ads before he had a single closing. Smart or reckless? You decide—but the urgency was real. We compare notes on burning the boats, redirecting early wins back into growth, and saying no to “wait until” thinking. Focus becomes the hinge: one path, relentless reps, and a lifestyle that swaps passive leisure for energizing work—open houses over outings, private showings over pointless distractions.
We close on purpose and legacy. Anthony argues that purpose is the only reliable engine of happiness and urges reverse-engineering from the end you want. John centers the present: living fully now and becoming a story his kids are proud to tell. If you’re hovering at the edge of your own jump, this conversation gives you a clear map: act before you feel ready, pick one thing, fund it like you mean it, turn detours into edges, and keep your purpose close enough to power today’s work.
If this resonated, follow, share with a friend who needs the push, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. What leap are you taking next?

Most people think massage is either a fluffy spa day or brutal pain disguised as “progress.” Neither actually works.
Anthony sits down with Sophia, founder of In Body Massage and Wellness, to break down what massage looks like when it’s treated as healthcare. This episode covers how targeted, intentional bodywork can reduce pain, improve range of motion, regulate the nervous system, and support better sleep without bruising or guesswork.
Sophia explains how she builds personalized sessions for common problem areas like the neck, shoulders, and upper back, especially for people who train hard, work long hours, or live with chronic stress. The real driver of results isn’t pressure. It’s clear goals, thoughtful technique, and a frequency that matches the problem.
They also cover how to choose the right therapist, what to ask before booking, how to know if sessions are actually working, and why improved function matters more than momentary relaxation.
The conversation then shifts to building a sustainable wellness business. Sophia shares how underpricing early on stalled growth and attracted the wrong clients, while Anthony adds insight on pricing based on outcomes, tracking progress, and building systems that support long term success.
This episode is for anyone who wants smarter recovery and a stronger foundation in service based business.

Ever been told “you’re fine” while your body says otherwise?
In this episode, we trace a real journey from unresolved sleep apnea and chronic fatigue to the root causes hiding in hormones, gut health, and systemic inflammation.
Randy, a functional medicine physician assistant, breaks down how testosterone, growth hormone, melatonin, and the gut are deeply connected and how SIBO, leaky gut, and inflammation can quietly destroy sleep, recovery, and focus. We also dive into GLP-1 medications, why they can backfire when used blindly, and how microdosing, strength training, protein intake, and hydration help protect muscle and metabolic health.
We cover peptides, hormone replacement therapy, and why insurance driven care often misses the full picture.

What if the “safe” healthcare career isn’t actually the smarter financial move?
In this episode, we break down the real numbers behind becoming a physical therapist versus a personal trainer. Tuition costs, certification timelines, starting salaries, raises, student loan interest, income caps, and long term take home pay.
We compare a $250,000 Doctor of Physical Therapy path (with 6.8% interest and $3,000 monthly loan payments) against a $1,500 personal training certification, and examine what happens over a ten year window when one career starts earning immediately and the other spends seven years in school.
This isn’t about bashing physical therapy. If you’re called to clinical rehab inside the healthcare system, PT can be the right choice. But if you care about speed to income, lower debt risk, transferable skills, and scalable opportunity, personal training deserves a serious look.
We also unpack:
• how raises actually work (not just on paper)
• why early income compounds harder than higher starting salaries
• realistic salary caps in both careers
• ownership, management, and online coaching paths
• the myth that personal training “isn’t a real career”

RFK’s shift on U.S. dietary guidelines sparks a hard reset on low fat dogma and the war on red meat. We connect the dots between chronic disease, ultra processed foods, and a return to real, satisfying meals built on protein and natural fats.
• Why flipping the food pyramid challenges low fat norms
• The scale of chronic illness and obesity in the U.S.
•The case for saturated fat and red meat in a balanced diet
• The role of sugar and ultra processed foods in weight gain
• Why older studies fell short and how industry swayed views
• Practical targets for protein, fat, and real food choices
• Simple swaps like butter and whole milk for better satiety
Nutrition just got a plot twist: the old low fat playbook is out, and real food is back in the spotlight. We dig into RFK’s move to flip the food pyramid logic and explore what it means for anyone tired of chasing conflicting diet rules while feeling worse year after year. With chronic conditions rising and obesity entrenched, we ask a simple question what if the default guidance has been steering us away from the foods that keep us strong and satisfied?
We break down why saturated fat and red meat deserve a fair hearing, not a blanket ban, and how shaky, industry influenced research helped sugar and ultra processed foods skate by for decades. You’ll hear a frank look at study quality, confounders, and why observational headlines rarely translate into smart decisions at the dinner table. Then we get practical: how to center meals on protein, include natural fats, and use fruits and vegetables to round out a plate that actually keeps you full. From butter over margarine to whole milk instead of skim, we show why simple swaps can change your energy, cravings, and mood.
By the end, you’ll have a clear blueprint to cut the noise: eat real food, prioritize protein, hit your fat targets, and choose carbs that match your activity. No moralizing, no macros obsession just a balanced approach that respects how the body works and fits real life. If this conversation helps you rethink your plate and your pantry, share it with a friend who’s still stuck in the low-fat maze, subscribe for future segments, and leave a quick review to tell us what you want unpacked next.

What most people don’t realize is that the same skills required to build a sustainable business are the exact skills required to build a sustainable body—and a stable life.
In this episode, Anthony Amen is interviewed about the behind-the-scenes realities of entrepreneurship, leadership, and long-term health. We break down the shift from being a passionate coach to becoming a true operator: learning systems, respecting numbers, managing emotions, and thinking in decades instead of weeks. This isn’t about hustle culture or shortcuts—it’s about designing a life that can actually hold success.
Anthony shares the frameworks he uses to make high-stakes decisions: when to stay in a 9–5 while building, when asymmetric upside justifies risk, and how the “work-back” method clarifies a 10–20 year future. We also talk about proximity and influence, losing friendships along the way, and how personal growth often requires uncomfortable separation.
The conversation gets personal. Anthony opens up about rebuilding his relationship at home, learning emotional regulation under pressure, and realizing that physical training is meaningless if the nervous system, habits, and relationships are broken. The throughline is ownership—of health, reactions, finances, leadership, and legacy.
This episode is for driven adults who want more than aesthetics. If you’re trying to build a body that supports your career, a business that doesn’t cost you your family, and habits that actually compound over time, this conversation will give you the mental models to do it right.
This is the philosophy behind Redefine Fitness: train for life capacity, not just the mirror.

This episode of The Anthony Amen Show breaks down why most people fail before the New Year even begins — and how to fix it for good.
Anthony explains why traditional New Year’s resolutions don’t work, and why motivation-based goal setting almost always leads to burnout, frustration, and quitting. Instead of vague promises like “lose weight” or “make more money,” he walks through a practical, numbers-based framework that turns big goals into realistic, achievable actions.
The conversation dives into SMART goals, prioritization, and why breaking goals down by month, week, and even hour removes overwhelm and decision paralysis. Using real-world business and fitness examples, Anthony shows how massive goals — like building a million-dollar business — become attainable when you focus on systems, vehicles, and consistent execution instead of hype.
This episode also challenges how people approach New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, explaining why starting exhausted, hungover, and unfocused sets you up for failure — and how changing that single habit can shift the entire year ahead.
This episode is for:
• Anyone tired of failing New Year’s resolutions
• Entrepreneurs who want clarity instead of chaos
• Fitness professionals and business owners who want real growth
• People who want structure, not motivation
If you want to start the year with clarity, discipline, and a plan that actually compounds, this episode will change how you approach the next 12 months.

This episode of The Anthony Amen Show is different — Anthony is the one in the hot seat.
In a raw, unfiltered interview, Anthony breaks down what it actually takes to move from coach to entrepreneur, and why most fitness professionals never make the jump. We talk about the unglamorous realities behind building a real business: learning to love numbers and systems, deciding whether you’re an operator or a hobbyist, and using long-term thinking to design a life that doesn’t collapse under success.
Anthony shares how his passion for coaching evolved into building scalable machines that help more people — and how that shift demanded emotional regulation, better habits, and uncomfortable risk. The conversation covers season-of-life decisions, including when to keep a 9–5 while building at night, when asymmetric upside justifies going all-in, and how to apply “gym logic” to business growth.
It gets personal. Anthony opens up about losing friendships, rebuilding his relationship with the woman who became his wife, and learning how proximity, environment, and ownership shape outcomes — in business and in life.
This episode is for:
- Fitness professionals who want more than trading hours for dollars
- Entrepreneurs balancing ambition with relationships
- Anyone building something meaningful who feels the weight of responsibility
If you’re trying to scale without burning out — or wondering what the real cost of growth looks like — this conversation gives you frameworks, not fluff.

Throwback Episode | The Anthony Amen Show (formerly Health & Fitness Redefined)
What if the hardest part of fitness isn’t the workout—but choosing the long game when no one’s watching?
In this throwback episode of The Anthony Amen Show, formerly known as Health & Fitness Redefined, Anthony sits down with Jordan Syatt to break down what actually drives long-term health, fat loss, and strength. From starting as an eight-year-old wrestler to becoming a science-driven coach, Jordan shares how consistency—not intensity—built his career, his online business, and his three-year run coaching Gary Vaynerchuk every single day with no breaks.
This conversation goes deeper than workouts. We unpack the psychology of behavior change, why all-or-nothing thinking sabotages progress, and how food guilt turns small setbacks into spirals. Jordan explains how simple anchors—adequate protein, fiber, sleep, and just two strength training sessions per week—create momentum that actually lasts.
As the founder of Redefine Fitness, Anthony connects these lessons directly to what he sees daily in a high-end personal training environment. We discuss why health outcomes continue to decline despite more gyms, more apps, and more information than ever—and how ultra-convenience, isolation, and hyper-palatable foods work against us. The solution isn’t extremes; it’s building systems, structure, and habits that make the healthy choice the easy choice.
This episode reflects the core philosophy behind Redefine Fitness and The Anthony Amen Show:
train smarter, build strength for life, and prioritize habits that improve physical and mental health long after the workout ends.
If you’re looking for a realistic, science-backed approach to strength training, fat loss, sustainable fitness, and long-term health, this episode delivers a clear blueprint.

Throwback Episode: The future you doesn’t have to be fragile. We unpack a practical blueprint for getting stronger, steadier, and more independent after 50—without chasing extremes or living in the gym. With Graham from Renewed After 50, we break down why resistance training is the most reliable lever for better bones, better balance, and a better mood, and how a few power-focused movements translate directly into real life: lifting grandkids, loading groceries, and catching yourself before a fall.
We go deeper than the usual “move more, eat better” advice. You’ll hear how to structure a week around full-body strength, safe power work at 70–85% of your max, cardio that supports heart and brain health, and short daily blocks for mobility and balance. On nutrition, we keep it simple and honest: choose mostly unprocessed foods, prioritize quality protein, read labels like a pro, and use an 80–20 approach so health and joy can coexist. We call out hidden trans fats, discuss plant-forward patterns and lean game meats, and share easy pantry swaps that cut inflammation without cutting flavor.
Motivation often starts with a wake-up call—osteopenia on a scan, a stumble on the stairs, a warning about type 2 diabetes. We offer a stronger story: treat fitness like a retirement fund and start “banking” strength, mobility, and metabolic health today. The payoff is a “square” life curve—years of high function, then a short decline—rather than a long slope into dependence.
If you want simple steps to feel capable again, this conversation hands you the plan and the why behind it.

What if your recovery plan and daily health choices mattered more than any diagnosis code ever could? In this powerful episode, Dr. Karen Shanks joins us to break down why true healing starts long before medications—and why movement, nutrition, sleep, trauma awareness, and agency are the real drivers of recovery.
Dr. Karen shares her journey from conventional internal medicine into a prevention-focused practice built on systems biology, root-cause thinking, and actually listening to patients. We talk about why chronic fatigue, post-op pain, and slow recoveries often remain unsolved—not because people are “broken,” but because the system is.
You’ll learn why graded movement accelerates surgical healing, how gentle loading reduces pain, why lymphatic flow matters, and how immobilization delays progress. We explore evidence-to-practice delays, flawed incentives in healthcare, and outdated measurements like BMI and low-fat dogma still taught today.
Most importantly, we dig into agency: you are hiring your clinician, not giving up control. We discuss the mind–muscle connection, epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and how everyday choices—protein intake, strength work, sleep, stress, connection—reshape your biology from the inside out.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, navigating chronic symptoms, or simply want better health, this episode gives you clear tools to start today. Share it with someone who needs direction, and comment with the one action you’re taking this week.

The wellness world is louder than ever—trends, shortcuts, and conflicting advice everywhere you turn. On this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with author and health coach Jen Trepik to cut through the noise and get back to what actually works. At Redefine Fitness, we always say fitness is medicine, and this conversation gives you the blueprint for building a body that performs the way you want it to—long term.
We kick things off with a simple question: What does “worked” mean to you?
If your goals are better energy, deeper sleep, pain-free movement, or strength that carries you through life, then the method matters as much as the outcome. That’s where most people get stuck. Short-term tactics look impressive, but long-term systems actually transform you.
Together, we break down the biggest myths that keep people spinning:
- Calories aren’t equal when your biology is running the show.
- Protein’s thermic effect changes metabolism more than people think.
- Fiber and the gut-brain connection shift cravings without relying on “discipline.”
- Quick fixes like GLP-1s come with real trade-offs people rarely talk about.
- Eating out vs. cooking isn’t just about calories—it’s about control and consistency.
- Variety still matters for micronutrients, resilience, and recovery.
Jen lays out a biostack—nutrition, movement, hydration, stress management, sleep, and connection—that mirrors the exact foundation we use at Redefine Fitness in Stony Brook and Mount Sinai. When these six pillars work together, every small habit you love finally has leverage.
We also dig into the identity side of change. Community shapes who you become. Surround yourself with people who normalize the habits you want, and progress accelerates. Build simple plates around protein, produce, and quality fats. Anchor your mornings. Protect your sleep window. Stack repeatable wins even on chaotic days.
If you feel stuck between fatigue and fads, this episode is your permission to ignore the noise, choose your trade-offs intentionally, and let your body’s feedback drive your next step. That’s how lasting health is built—inside the gym and outside it.
Grab Jen’s book Uncomplicating Wellness, listen to her podcast Salad with a Side of Fries, and then come join us on the journey.

A new name, a wider lens, and a promise to cut through the noise — welcome to The Anthony Amen Show (formerly Health & Fitness Redefined), the official podcast supporting the mission behind Redefine Fitness, our high-end personal training studios in Stony Brook and Mount Sinai, NY. We open the new chapter by tackling one of the biggest problems in health: people chase the scale instead of the signals that actually change their bodies, their energy, and their long-term health.
Our guest, Jason, cofounder of Elite HRV and the camera-based body composition platform Spren, shows how better metrics and smarter tools turn effort into results you can finally understand. We trace his path from building analytics in the oil industry to democratizing HRV, and now to turning your phone into a near-DEXA body composition scanner. The goal? Clarity. Instead of obsessing over BMI or weight alone, we shift the focus to body fat percentage, lean mass, and fat distribution — because these are the markers that drive performance, aesthetics, metabolism, and longevity.
Jason breaks down visceral fat and the android:gynoid ratio as practical proxies for real health risk. We go deep on why lean mass is one of the leading indicators of aging well, metabolic resilience, and long-term independence. We also tackle modern dilemmas we see every day at Redefine Fitness: “skinny fat” bodies that look fine but hide internal risk, and GLP-1 users losing as much muscle as fat — and how resistance training and protein protect what truly matters.
Then we get tactical. Your Basal Metabolic Rate is a starting point, not destiny. NEAT, genetics, behavior, and identity shifts shape your real maintenance needs. Small wins compound. Resistance training pays interest daily by improving sleep, mood, movement, and the ability to do hard things without burnout. We look ahead to how AI will support future health coaching — letting software handle the spreadsheets while coaches and community bring empathy, context, accountability, and the human touch that actually drives change.
This episode is about simplicity, not surveillance. Track the few metrics that change outcomes. Let your data guide the next right step. And let strength carry the rest.

What if peace isn’t something you find by accident but something you build—one habit, one decision, one identity shift at a time? In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with Devon, our Fitness Manager at Redefine Fitness, to walk through his journey from numbness and depression to becoming one of the strongest leaders in our Stony Brook and Mount Sinai studios. His story is proof that who you become is the result of the traits you put into practice every day.
Devon opens up about the early years—overtraining, overlearning, and grinding through session-based pay—before moving into a salaried leadership role built on service, reliability, and standards. He breaks down the system he used to rebuild himself: choosing identity traits like hardworking, kind, and dependable, and then hitting those marks through small, repeatable wins. We talk about the neuroscience of motivation, why it peaks right before achievement, and why momentum comes from ten push-ups, a made bed, or any action that proves to your brain: I’m moving.
He also shares why he avoids alcohol and most over-the-counter meds due to a family history of addiction, and how that fear pushed him toward whole foods, honest tradeoffs, and a coaching style rooted in transparency. That mindset now shapes how he leads the team at Redefine Fitness—standards first, shortcuts never.
We pull back the curtain on premium coaching, too. Real assessments. Deeper accountability. Long-term progress that outlasts trends. When clients invest more, they get more: better programming, better communication, and professionals who have the time and skill to solve real problems—like chronic back pain—through deliberate evaluation and tailored one-on-one training. This is exactly why Redefine Fitness has become the go-to studio for people who want results, not fads.
Devon’s long-term vision is simple and bold: build the most educated, dependable coaching team in the market, raise standards so high that it becomes harder to get in, and scale impact by developing coaches who multiply excellence across both locations.
If you’re ready to build yourself instead of waiting to be “found,” this conversation gives you the framework and the first step. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a push, and leave a review with the one habit you’ll start this week.

What if the moment everything collapsed was actually the moment your real life began? In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with Rick, one of our coaches at Redefine Fitness, to talk through a story that starts with state titles and Friday night lights—and turns into a sudden crash of torn shoulders, a damaged spine, and the heartbreaking discovery of his father’s early dementia. At twenty-two, Rick became the caregiver, the mediator, and the anchor of his entire family. The pressure wasn’t just physical; it was emotional, spiritual, and suffocating. When he finally broke down and begged for a way forward, the path started with a familiar doorway: the gym.
We unpack how returning to movement did more than rebuild strength. Rick brought his dad to train, and he watched something rare—coordination, stability, and cognition improve through consistent rehab and personal training. That experience reshaped his philosophy and aligned perfectly with what we preach at Redefine Fitness: fitness is medicine. The gym isn’t vanity—it’s healthcare, resilience, and emotional survival.
Rick opens up about concussions, migraines, and the mental spiral that comes from chasing perfection. Instead of swinging between extremes, he talks about learning an approach built on fundamentals: progressive overload with patience, technique as injury prevention, and restoring the body through movement instead of maxing out for ego. His coaching includes one of his favorite success stories—guiding a cautious, self-doubting lifter from the smallest dumbbells to confident, heavy reps through tiny, consistent steps and unwavering belief.
Life didn’t stop outside the gym, either. Rick found love, stepped into fatherhood, and brought those values straight into his coaching. He treats clients like brothers and sisters, and when injuries flare up, he doesn’t hide it—he shows the rebuild openly. Rehab plans, setbacks, slow days, and the daily choice to keep going. That vulnerability builds trust and reminds clients that starting over isn’t failure; it’s strength.
We explore the future of training and why the bridge between fitness and healthcare matters more than ever—for mental health, pain management, aging, and long-term resilience. Rick’s story is a blueprint for anyone who feels stuck or ashamed of a setback. Expect to fall. Learn to rebuild. Let adversity shape your purpose.
If this conversation hits home, tap follow, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your support helps more people discover that personal training in Stony Brook and Mount Sinai can be a lifeline—and that rebuilding your life starts with a single step back into movement.

Most lab reports end with a shrug: “You’re fine.” We think you deserve better than fine. This conversation is a practical guide to reading your blood work with confidence, using trends over time, and translating numbers into action you can stick with. Brent from Sage Healthspan joins us to unpack why “normal” ranges aren’t the goal in a metabolically unwell population, how a closed-data AI can protect privacy while clarifying your results, and which overlooked biomarkers can change your prevention plan.
We walk through the markers that move the needle. For cardiovascular risk, ApoB outperforms total cholesterol, while Lp(a) can reveal a genetic risk hidden in standard panels and point you toward a timely calcium score. Men should treat PSA as a low-friction lifesaver rather than an afterthought. Women deserve complete hormone panels, not piecemeal tests that miss the bigger picture. We also break down composite markers, ratios, and biological age as motivators—useful not as verdicts, but as guides to your next best step.
The episode connects labs with real life. Sleep, training load, season, and environment all shape your biology. Wearables like Oura can inform when to push or pull back; vitamin D shifts with sunlight; fasting changes testosterone; and context matters as much as the number itself.

A brutal chest tear, a fast recovery, and a bigger question: what happens when fitness, nutrition, and medicine actually work together? Anthony shares how early movement, protein, creatine, collagen, and fish oil reduced pain and accelerated healing post-op—then we zoom out with Dr. Anderson, a family physician who believes the best care blends evidence-based prescriptions with real lifestyle change.
We get honest about why many clinics still default to statins, how short visits and insurance friction push doctors into checklists, and what it takes to build a patient-doctor partnership where “no” is the start of a plan, not the end of a visit. From multivitamins and omega-3s to protein needs for women 40-plus, we lay out supplement strategies that actually move the needle, while stressing that movement—not bedrest—is the engine of recovery.
We also tackle the rising tide of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Where can they help? When do they fail? The answer often hinges on habits. Meds can flip hunger signals, but long-term success still depends on protein-forward eating, resistance training, and sleep. We challenge outdated measures like BMI, favor better metrics, and highlight new research showing how training the non-injured limb can speed healing on the injured side. Along the way, we pull back the curtain on rural care deserts, urban abundance, and why medical training needs more nutrition and lifestyle medicine now.
If you’re tired of extremes—pill-only fixes or wellness-only promises—this conversation lands in the productive middle. Hit play to learn how to partner with your doctor, choose supplements wisely, train through setbacks, and protect your long-term health with strategies that last.

What if demolition is the point—the chaos before the craft? We sit down with a coach who went from pizza ovens to job sites to a gym floor, and discovered that the mess of trying many things was the making of his purpose. Carpentry taught him to trust the process: swing the hammer, clear the debris, then slow down and get precise. That same arc shows up in weight loss and behavior change—move first, then measure, then refine until the finishing touches feel like art.
The turning key wasn’t a certification; it was a relationship. After a family health scare and a prayer that felt like a first, he found faith not as rules but as source—energy that returns stronger than it was given. That center turned coaching into service, especially with special needs athletes. We share the moments that still give us chills: nonverbal clients spelling joy after hurdles, adults finding confidence to try new things, families telling us they’re seeing a different person at home. The method is simple and hard: radical patience, real respect, and no baby talk. Meet people at eye level, assume competence, and let your steadiness become their safety.
From there we get practical about grit, time, and the owner mindset. We explore push–pull motivation (fear behind, vision ahead), how role models transfer resilience, and why loving your day job is the fastest way to show up better for your family and your mission. We talk buying back time without buzzwords, training your perception to see opportunities, regulating emotions when rooms heat up, and taking accountability before pointing fingers. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn struggle into service—and why “fitness is medicine” applies to far more than muscles—this conversation maps the first steps and the finishing work.

A rough childhood, relentless bullying, and a quiet kid who found her voice under stage lights—that’s Olivia. We sit down with one of our own trainers to trace how color guard and dance opened the door to the weight room, and how lifting turned from escape into identity. The conversation moves from the first signs of muscle to the discipline of prep, the mental fog of low calories, and the jolt of confidence that comes from stepping into heels, bracing your core, and holding your smile while every eye in the room is on you.
We get practical and precise about bodybuilding: how categories like bikini, wellness, and figure actually work; what off-season growth really means; why reverse dieting matters; and how show day unfolds beyond the 30 seconds you see on stage. We also dig into performance-enhancing drugs without flinching—what people gain, what they risk, and the long-term costs often hidden behind highlight reels. Olivia speaks candidly about staying natural, the patience it demands, and why health spans decades, not show weeks.
If you’ve ever been told that lifting makes women “bulky,” this chat is your reset. We break down the physiology, the myths, and the very real benefits of strength training for women: stronger bones, steadier hormones, better moods, and durable confidence. On the coaching side, Olivia explains why training is part mechanics and part therapy—how an hour in the gym becomes a private space to talk honestly while you push a sled or grind out a final set. Her coaching style blends playful energy with serious programming, turning dread into momentum you can feel the next morning.
By the end, you’ll hear a clear message: happiness rises as you approach a goal, then drops when it’s done—so keep your goals moving. Whether you’re building toward a first pull-up, a stronger off-season, or more peace in your day, strength is a practice you can choose. If this conversation helped you rethink what’s possible, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to tell us what goal you’re chasing next.

Tired of weight loss advice that leaves you more confused than when you started? You're not alone. In this straightforward episode, I cut through the noise to reveal exactly how your body burns calories and what that means for your weight loss journey.
Did you know your body burns hundreds of calories daily just keeping you alive? Even more surprising: every pound of muscle on your frame burns an additional 7-10 calories while you're doing absolutely nothing. This is why understanding your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the critical first step toward effective weight management.
Using clear examples and practical math, I walk through the precise formula to calculate how many calories your unique body needs. You'll discover why a 200-pound person with moderate activity needs nearly 3,000 calories daily just to maintain weight, and how creating a simple 500-calorie deficit leads to steady, sustainable fat loss without feeling deprived.
We also explore the fascinating world of macronutrients, revealing why protein deserves special attention in your diet. Not only does your body burn 20-30% of protein's calories just digesting it, but there's limited evidence showing protein calories efficiently convert to body fat. Could this explain why high-protein diets work so well?
For those who enjoy social drinking, I share the sobering math behind alcohol consumption. A single margarita can pack 500 calories—the equivalent of an entire pound of fat if consumed daily for a week. Understanding these numbers gives you the power to make informed choices without giving up everything you enjoy.
Ready to take control of your nutrition with confidence? This episode provides the practical framework you need without complicated diet rules or restrictions. Calculate your numbers, prioritize protein, choose foods you genuinely enjoy, and transform your relationship with eating for life.
Subscribe now and share this episode with someone who's been struggling with weight loss. Remember, fitness is medicine—and understanding your caloric needs is the prescription most people are missing.

Ever wonder why Americans are spending more on supplements than ever before, yet somehow getting sicker? That paradox kicks off my eye-opening conversation with Jared St. Clair, host of the Vitality Radio Podcast and a third-generation supplement store owner who's spent 31 years separating supplement facts from fiction.
Jared pulls back the curtain on an industry that many of us trust with our health without understanding what we're actually putting in our bodies. He explains why most multivitamins "literally belong in the garbage," why calcium supplements might be increasing heart disease risk by 25%, and why the form of magnesium you take matters more than the dose. We dive deep into how supplement companies exploit consumer confusion, with fascinating insights into why the cheapest options on Amazon might be counterfeit products manufactured outside FDA jurisdiction.
The most valuable segment comes when Jared reveals his "Vital Five" – the core supplements he believes most adults should consider taking daily. His recommendations might surprise you, especially when he explains why creatine isn't just for bodybuilders anymore but potentially crucial for anyone over 35 concerned about cognitive health. We also tackle the sunscreen myth, exploring how our obsession with SPF might be creating more problems than it solves.
Whether you're a supplement skeptic or someone with a cabinet full of bottles, this conversation will transform how you think about supplementation. You'll walk away with practical advice for identifying quality products, understanding what your body actually needs, and reclaiming authority over your health decisions instead of blindly following so-called experts.

What happens when your world turns upside down in an instant? For DK Kang, martial artist of 34 years and author of "Mindset Metamorphosis," that moment came when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, followed shortly by losing his job just after requesting flexibility to support her through treatments.
Most people would spiral into negativity, but DK reveals how he and his wife chose a different path – reframing their crisis by asking "why not us?" instead of "why us?" This powerful mindset shift allowed them to navigate ten months without income while facing mounting medical bills and the emotional toll of cancer treatments.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when host Anthony connects DK's experience to a biblical principle about not conforming to the patterns of this world. Why would anyone want to be "average" when the average American is overweight, unhappy, and working in a job they dislike? This challenge to societal norms becomes a cornerstone of the discussion about intentional health choices and mental resilience.
DK shares practical wisdom about habit stacking – building small, positive habits onto existing routines that compound over time. His example of doing push-ups while waiting for morning coffee to brew demonstrates how tiny, consistent actions can transform physical and mental health without overwhelming lifestyle changes.
Perhaps most eye-opening is the financial reality DK reveals: a single chemotherapy treatment cost $80,000. This staggering figure underscores why preventative health measures aren't just physically beneficial but economically crucial. As DK poignantly notes, "You have one mind and one body. What are you going to do with them?"
Whether you're facing a health crisis, seeking motivation for positive change, or simply interested in strengthening your mental resilience, this episode offers both inspiration and practical tools for transforming your mindset and, ultimately, your life.

What happens to a woman's body after pregnancy goes far beyond what most fitness professionals understand. Dr. Carly, a sports chiropractor specializing in postpartum care, joins us to reveal the hidden complexities of the postpartum journey and why traditional approaches to "bouncing back" often miss the mark.
"You're not the same person anymore," Dr. Carly explains, describing how she performs complete re-evaluations on patients after childbirth. This fundamental truth sets the stage for a fascinating exploration of postpartum recovery that challenges conventional wisdom. While diastasis recti (the separation of abdominal muscles) affects nearly all pregnant women, Dr. Carly dispels the fear surrounding this condition while providing practical guidance for rehabilitation that can begin within days of delivery – far earlier than the standard six-week checkup.
Did you know that the hormone relaxin, which loosens your joints for childbirth, remains in your system until you finish breastfeeding? This explains why joint instability can persist for a year or more after delivery, affecting everything from workout performance to everyday activities. The conversation takes a surprising turn when Dr. Carly introduces her company's motto: "Every mom is an athlete." She paints a vivid picture of the athletic demands of motherhood – from the deadlift-like motion of picking up a toddler to the postural challenges of nursing – and explains why posterior chain strengthening becomes crucial for preventing pain and injury.
Whether you're a fitness professional working with postpartum clients, a pregnant woman preparing for birth, or someone supporting a new mother, this episode delivers invaluable insights into the profound physical transformations of motherhood and the thoughtful approaches needed for true recovery.

Running isn't a punishment - it's an opportunity to discover what you're truly capable of. In this revealing conversation, host Anthony Amen (a self-proclaimed running hater) sits down with veteran running coach Jason Fitzgerald to explore the transformative power of running for both body and mind.
Jason, who founded Strength Running and has coached for 15 years, shares his own journey from running-averse kid to dedicated coach. "When I first started running, I was not very good at it and I also hated it too," he admits, providing hope for anyone who currently dreads lacing up their running shoes.
The discussion dives deep into practical training approaches for both beginners and experienced runners. Jason explains the crucial difference between aerobic and anaerobic running, how training varies between distances, and why every runner should incorporate strength training regardless of their goals. His recommendation to "sandwich" runs between dynamic warm-ups and post-run strength exercises offers an actionable blueprint for injury prevention.
What truly sets this episode apart is the exploration of running's psychological benefits. While a weightlifting set might require intense focus for seconds, running demands mental fortitude for hours. "Mental toughness is the ability to solve problems constructively without panicking," Jason explains, noting that this resilience transfers to all areas of life. The conversation reveals how running teaches us to push beyond self-imposed limitations – whether that's running more miles than you thought possible or finally breaking through plateaus in other fitness pursuits.
Whether you're a dedicated runner looking to improve or someone who has always avoided running, this episode provides valuable insights that might just change your perspective. As Jason concludes, "Running is not necessarily as hard as you might think it is. If you give it a little time and approach it strategically, you can become a much better runner than you think you can be."

Could your child's future success depend on mental skills you've never thought to teach them? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Christine Silverstein reveals the transformative power of "mindful toughness" techniques that can help anyone overcome life's greatest challenges.
Drawing from her 29 years as a peak performance coach and her background as a registered nurse, Dr. Christine shares her remarkable personal journey—from using self-hypnosis to overcome multiple pregnancy losses to developing a comprehensive system that's helped countless athletes and individuals achieve breakthrough results. Her near-drowning experience in 2021 became the catalyst for documenting these powerful techniques in her book, "Wrestling Through Adversity."
The pandemic exposed an alarming mental health crisis among young people that Dr. Christine believes stems from a fundamental lack of resilience. Her mindful toughness skillsets—breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, and mental rehearsal—provide practical solutions anyone can implement. Through compelling stories, she demonstrates how these methods helped transform a struggling wrestler into an undefeated champion and enabled a college athlete to overcome debilitating pain after knee surgery.
Perhaps most revealing is the discussion about modern parenting approaches that inadvertently prevent children from developing crucial coping skills. Dr. Christine emphasizes that children must learn through their own experiences rather than being shielded from all discomfort. By teaching mental resilience early, parents can equip their children with tools that will serve them throughout their lives.
"You move in the direction of your dominant thoughts," Dr. Christine explains, highlighting how our mental focus shapes our reality. Whether you're an athlete seeking peak performance, a parent concerned about your child's resilience, or someone facing personal challenges, these accessible techniques offer a pathway to transformation.

What happens when traditional medicine fails to heal the invisible wounds of war? Former Army Ranger Mike Leal takes us on an extraordinary journey from the battlefields of Afghanistan to a revolutionary treatment that completely restored his damaged brain and broken spirit.
Mike's story begins with a startling revelation - before becoming an elite special operations soldier, he was a college dropout struggling with heroin addiction. Seeking escape, he joined the military and unexpectedly found himself drawn to the Rangers, America's premier assault force. Through six grueling deployments and countless firefights, Mike witnessed horrors that would eventually catch up with him. "I would get out of work and just start crying in my truck," he reveals, describing the crushing weight of PTSD and traumatic brain injuries that medication couldn't touch.
The VA's response was predictable - more pills, more diagnoses, more disconnection. After a suicide attempt and the crushing realization that the system designed to help veterans was fundamentally broken, Mike discovered an unconventional path forward. His description of Ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT treatment in Mexico is nothing short of miraculous - "I could feel the clicking start in both parts of my brain... it felt like someone was plugging pieces of my brain back in and turning them on." The transformation was immediate and profound, restoring mental clarity, emotional connection, and purpose.
Perhaps most compelling is Mike's new mission - creating a nonprofit to help other veterans access this life-changing therapy. With approximately 40 veterans taking their lives daily, his urgency is palpable. "I don't want them to struggle like I did for 10 years," he explains, his voice filled with the conviction of someone who's found the answer to an impossible question.
Whether you're a veteran searching for healing, someone struggling with trauma, or simply curious about cutting-edge treatments for the mind, this episode offers hope where traditional approaches have failed.

Skyrocketing in popularity over the last five years, intermittent fasting has positioned itself as the diet trend du jour. But beyond the simple concept of timing your meals within specific windows, does this approach deliver on its promises?
This deep dive explores what research actually tells us about intermittent fasting versus traditional calorie restriction. Spoiler alert: when calories are equal, the results are identical. We tackle common misconceptions about metabolism slowing, optimal protein timing, and who should think twice before jumping on the fasting bandwagon.
The protein puzzle proves particularly interesting – your body can only use about 30-40 grams of protein for muscle synthesis at once, no matter how much you consume in a sitting. This creates a fundamental conflict with many fasting protocols that limit eating windows. For those seeking muscle gain or retention (which should be everyone looking for sustainable weight management), spreading protein intake across 3-4 daily meals provides significantly better results than cramming it all into one or two meals.
Women face unique challenges with intermittent fasting, as it can wreak havoc on hormonal balance, especially during menopause. Meanwhile, those with eating disorder histories might find fasting provides a socially acceptable mask for unhealthy behaviors. But it's not all negative – people struggling with insulin resistance or lacking structure around nighttime eating might benefit from strategic meal timing.
Whether you're currently fasting, considering it, or skeptical about the whole concept, this evidence-based breakdown helps you make informed decisions about your nutrition approach. Share this episode with friends contemplating intermittent fasting – because fitness truly is medicine, but only when applied correctly.

"Life gave me so much more than it ever took from me." These powerful words come from John Carter, a man who, by all accounts, should be bitter about his circumstances. Shot in the back of the head after an encounter tied to his attempt to follow in his mafioso father's footsteps, John survived a three-month coma and six additional months of hospitalization, only to fall into the depths of addiction while wheelchair-bound.
John's vivid recollections of his coma experience—a continuous dream of swimming races where the winner gets to go home—reveal the first seeds of his transformation. When he finally woke, his troubles were far from over. At rock bottom, weighing over 300 pounds and dealing drugs from his wheelchair, John found an unlikely salvation when police raided his apartment. "I was happy," he recalls about his arrest, recognizing it as the intervention he desperately needed.
The turning point came in prison, where three inmates who knew his father took him to the gym daily, determined to get him out of his wheelchair. Through consistent training, John grew stronger physically and mentally. This unexpected introduction to fitness became his pathway to a new life. After release, despite rejections due to his speech impediment and limp, John persevered and eventually found work as a personal trainer. Today, he owns his gym, maintains long-term clients, and volunteers providing service dogs to people with mobility challenges.
What makes John's story truly remarkable isn't just his physical transformation, but his complete absence of regret. When asked if he would change anything about his difficult journey, his answer is unwavering: "No." Every challenge led him exactly where he needs to be—helping others overcome their own obstacles, supporting his family including his mother with dementia, and living with profound purpose.

The thought of losing our memories and cognitive abilities strikes deep fear in many of us. In fact, for people over 55, Alzheimer's disease has become the most feared diagnosis of all. But what if simple lifestyle choices could significantly reduce your risk?
In this eye-opening conversation with dementia expert Lisa Skinner, we dive into the crucial differences between dementia (a collection of symptoms) and Alzheimer's (a specific brain disease). Lisa shares a powerful personal story about her grandmother that launched her 30-year career in dementia care, revealing how this devastating condition affects not just patients but entire families who essentially "lose their loved ones twice."
The episode breaks down the risk factors into those we can't control (age, biological sex, genetics, and ethnicity) and those we can modify through lifestyle changes. Cardiovascular disease tops the list of modifiable risks, followed by diabetes, sleep apnea, and surprisingly, hearing loss. We explore why women face significantly higher risk than men—a complex interplay of hormonal changes, exercise habits, sleep patterns, stress management, and nutrition.
Most compelling is the evidence that exercise has double the protective effect of brain games for preventing cognitive decline, while combining physical activity with mental stimulation triples the benefit. We discuss why proper sleep is non-negotiable for brain health, how strength training preserves cognitive function, and why supplementing with creatine monohydrate might be worth considering.
With Alzheimer's cases projected to triple in the next 25 years, this conversation couldn't be more timely. The choices you make today directly impact your brain's future—and while nothing provides absolute protection, the science is clear that we have more control than we might think.

The hormonal shift of menopause fundamentally transforms a woman's body in ways that extend far beyond hot flashes and mood swings. As estrogen levels decline, women face accelerated bone density loss, diminished muscle mass, and metabolic changes that can dramatically impact quality of life—unless they understand how to counteract these effects.
Lynn, a 54-year-old biochemistry major turned fitness expert, shares her personal journey of watching her body change dramatically at age 49 despite maintaining her regular exercise routine. This transformation led her to discover that traditional fitness approaches that work wonderfully through our 30s and early 40s become dramatically less effective after menopause begins. Body pump classes, cardio sessions, and lightweight, high-repetition exercises simply don't provide the stimulus needed when estrogen no longer supports muscle maintenance.
The solution lies in proper strength training with progressive overload—systematically increasing weight over time to continue challenging muscles. Lynn explains that this approach should become as non-negotiable as brushing teeth for women in midlife, not for aesthetic reasons alone but because it serves as medicine against age-related decline. In the five years surrounding menopause, bone density loss accelerates tenfold, making strength training an essential intervention against fracture risk and functional decline.
The conversation tackles persistent myths that prevent women from embracing weights, particularly fears of "bulking up" that simply don't reflect reality for most women. It also addresses nutrition needs, especially protein requirements that increase with age, and critically examines the recent trend of GLP-1 medications for weight loss. While these drugs may create a smaller body, they don't address underlying habits and potentially accelerate muscle loss at a time when preserving muscle becomes increasingly crucial.
Most encouragingly, Lynn emphasizes that effective strength training requires far less time than many imagine—just twice weekly with a well-designed program provides tremendous benefits. For women feeling overwhelmed by fitness information, this message offers both clarity and hope: strength training serves as powerful medicine against the challenges of aging, requiring minimal time while delivering maximum impact on quality of life.

What if your relentless pursuit of fitness is actually destroying your health? In this eye-opening conversation with Dani Sheriff, we uncover the hidden dangers of extreme fitness regimens that many health-conscious individuals never see coming.
Dani takes us through her personal journey as an Olympic weightlifter who lost her period for eight years straight—a condition called hypothalamic amenorrhea that she initially viewed as a badge of honor rather than the serious warning sign it was. With disarming honesty, she shares how her obsession with training six days a week while maintaining strict dietary control created a perfect storm for hormonal disruption. "I was so balls deep in fitness that I thought my period was an optional extra I only needed when it was time to get pregnant," she admits.
The revelations in this episode challenge conventional fitness wisdom on both ends of the spectrum. Dani explains how the body, when faced with energy deficits, makes ruthless prioritization decisions—keeping your heart beating and lungs functioning while shutting down "non-essential" systems like reproduction. But the consequences extend far beyond fertility, affecting bone density, cognitive function, and heart health. Perhaps most surprising is the psychological dimension: how rigid food rules and exercise regimens create constant stress that further disrupts hormonal balance.
We also explore the middle ground where true health resides. Neither extreme restriction nor complete abandonment of healthy habits serves our bodies well. Dani shares actionable insights for recognizing warning signs and restoring balance—including why sometimes having that donut might actually be better for your hormones than stressing about avoiding it.
Whether you're actively pursuing fitness goals, struggling with hormonal issues, or simply curious about optimizing your well-being, this conversation offers fresh perspective on what health really means. As Dani puts it: "Everyone, chill out, have the occasional donut, go to the gym semi-regularly, and don't take any one thing too extreme." Your hormones will thank you.

Could the solution to America's health crisis be simpler than we think? Jim Walter, cardiovascular exercise physiologist with 35 years of experience, believes so. In this eye-opening conversation, Jim challenges conventional wisdom about exercise by promoting a refreshingly accessible approach: just move more throughout your day.
The statistics are sobering—25% of Americans are completely sedentary, while 60% barely do more than basic daily activities. But rather than pushing the standard 150 minutes of weekly moderate-to-vigorous exercise that many find intimidating, Jim offers practical, bite-sized movement opportunities that anyone can incorporate without disrupting their schedule.
What makes Jim's approach so powerful is its simplicity. Take the stairs to a different floor for the bathroom. Stand while waiting for water to boil. Walk while talking on the phone. His "radius rule"—committing to walk rather than drive within certain distances—exemplifies how small changes compound over time. These aren't just theoretical benefits; research shows that simply replacing sitting with standing throughout the day significantly improves blood sugar and reduces body fat.
Beyond physical health, Jim addresses how movement enhances family dynamics and relationships. Evening walks with spouses create meaningful conversation time. Parents can move around sports fields during children's practices instead of sitting scrolling through phones. These practices not only model healthy behaviors for children but strengthen family bonds simultaneously.
As Jim eloquently rephrases JFK's famous words: "Ask not what your healthcare provider can do, ask what you can do for your health." Our bodies weren't designed for prolonged sitting—they were made to move. Start today by identifying one simple way to introduce more movement into your routine. Your future self will thank you.

What does it take to completely reinvent your life? Not once, but multiple times?
Anthony Amen takes us through his extraordinary journey from a severely bullied teen who once contemplated suicide to the founder of Redefine Fitness, a revolutionary approach to health that treats exercise as true medicine.
Standing at his darkest hour with a knife in hand, Anthony made a life-altering choice – instead of ending his life, he would become someone entirely new. Through what he calls "repetitive exercise" in his mind, he transformed from a shy, isolated teen into an outgoing person who created his own community of friends. Years later, when a devastating sports accident left doctors telling him he'd never regain full mobility in his neck and shoulder, Anthony once again refused to accept limitation. After three and a half years of determined work, he restored what medical professionals deemed impossible.
These profound experiences shaped his mission: creating a fitness company that genuinely helps people overcome depression, recover from injuries, and reverse health conditions that traditional medicine often manages rather than solves. During COVID, Anthony's commitment to this vision led him to raise half a million dollars for lawsuits that ultimately reopened gyms across New York State.
Beyond physical training, Anthony delivers powerful insights about micro habits that transform mental and physical wellbeing. He challenges listeners to examine how much time they spend on screens, why walking might be the most underrated health practice, and why extreme approaches to diet and exercise often fail. Perhaps most compelling is his message about personal responsibility – acknowledging that while we don't control everything that happens to us, we absolutely control how we respond.
Whether you're struggling with your mental health, physical limitations, or simply feeling stuck, Anthony's story offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for creating meaningful change. His urgent message? "Don't start tomorrow. Don't start Monday. Start right now."

The modern parental dilemma unfolds in restaurants everywhere: restless children, exhausted parents, and the easy solution—a glowing screen that instantly pacifies. But what's actually happening in those developing brains when screens become our go-to solution?
This deep dive into the science of screen time reveals startling connections between digital exposure and childhood development. We examine how the first two years of life—when the brain grows from 25% to 80% of its adult size—create a critical window where screen time can significantly impact language acquisition, emotional bonding, and neurological pathways. The research is sobering: delayed speech, weaker white matter development, disrupted sleep patterns, and even symptoms mimicking autism that researchers have termed "virtual autism."
Beyond toddlerhood, we explore how screens systematically replace essential developmental friction in children ages 2-6. Unlike real-world interactions that teach empathy, boundaries, and emotional regulation through natural consequences, screens deliver passive entertainment without requiring social negotiation. This absence of healthy resistance creates downstream effects on attention spans, frustration tolerance, and peer relationships.
Perhaps most provocatively, we challenge the notion that boredom is a problem to be solved. What if those empty spaces in a child's day are actually developmental superpowers—the exact conditions where imagination, creativity and problem-solving flourish? From family dinners to bedtime routines, we examine how screens have quietly displaced critical learning environments and offer practical, guilt-free alternatives for modern parents navigating digital terrain.
Whether you're struggling with tantrums when screens disappear or simply questioning if your family has found the right balance, this episode provides evidence-based guidance without judgment. Try our screen-free dinner challenge this week and discover what happens when we create space for connection in our increasingly connected world.

The age-old debate of plant-based versus omnivorous diets takes center stage in this riveting conversation between host Anthony Amen and guest Tyler, creator of the "Full Vegan Belly" program. What begins as a friendly discussion quickly evolves into a fascinating exploration of nutritional science, evolutionary biology, and the psychology behind sustainable dietary habits.
Tyler shares his unexpected journey from frustrated meat-eater to vegan advocate after experiencing remarkable changes just days into his plant-based experiment. His program promises 97% complete nutrition through carefully selected whole foods condensed into a simple, accessible meal plan requiring minimal cooking skills. The comprehensive approach focuses on nutrient density rather than restriction, offering a refreshing departure from more complicated vegan regimens.
Anthony brings critical counterpoints to the conversation, challenging veganism's nutritional completeness by highlighting vitamin B12 deficiency concerns and the complexity of obtaining complete proteins from plant sources. His provocative "survival guide diet" perspective – explaining why 90% of plants are potentially dangerous while 90% of animals are safe to eat – adds a compelling evolutionary dimension that even has Tyler reconsidering certain assumptions.
What emerges isn't a clear "winner" in the dietary debate, but rather a thoughtful exploration of balance.

What does it really take to thrive in life's most challenging moments? Rand Stoess joins Anthony Amen to explore this question through lessons drawn from decades of entrepreneurship, mentorship, and personal growth.
The conversation quickly dives into the critical difference between seeking external validation versus developing internal clarity. Rand emphasizes how our greatest strength comes from looking within first—understanding our values and boundaries—before seeking outside input. This self-awareness creates a foundation for resilience when life inevitably throws obstacles our way.
One of the most powerful insights revolves around our sphere of influence. Rand shares his personal evolution from believing his success came from controlling everything to realizing he only truly controls four things: attitude, effort, behavior, and chosen actions. Everything beyond that is influence rather than control. As Anthony adds, this influence isn't neutral—it pushes people in either positive or negative directions, making our choices profoundly consequential.
The discussion takes an especially practical turn when exploring how we become the average of the five people we spend most time with. Want to develop grit? Surround yourself with resilient people. Need more optimism? Spend time with positive thinkers. This principle extends beyond physical relationships to include the podcasts we listen to and content we consume—all shaping who we become.
Rand reveals seven research-backed qualities that lead to life satisfaction: zest, grit, mental toughness, optimism, curiosity, social intelligence, and humor. Each quality creates a foundation for bouncing back from setbacks—like a rubber ball that temporarily deforms upon impact but always regains its shape. This resilience isn't just innate; it can be developed through mindset shifts, forgiveness practices, and viewing life as a series of experiments where not every attempt succeeds on the first try.
Ready to transform how you respond to life's challenges? Listen now and discover practical strategies for becoming your most resilient, thriving self.

The devastating reality of childhood obesity in America demands our immediate attention. With a staggering 20% of our children—nearly 15 million kids—suffering from obesity, we're facing a generational health crisis that's cutting lives in half before they've truly begun.
This episode dives deep into the shocking statistics and life-altering consequences of childhood obesity. When severely overweight children face four times higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and triple the risk of heart disease by age 39, we can no longer pretend this isn't an emergency. The most heartbreaking statistic? Severely obese children face a 50% reduction in life expectancy. We are literally watching half their lives disappear before our eyes.
I examine the myths surrounding healthy eating, particularly the persistent belief that nutritious food must be expensive. By breaking down real costs and nutritional value, I demonstrate how this dangerous misconception perpetuates unhealthy choices, especially in lower-income communities where obesity rates soar highest. The government's role comes under scrutiny too—from ineffective school lunch programs undermined by food industry lobbying to SNAP benefits that currently enable junk food purchases with taxpayer dollars.
Beyond policy failures, we confront the uncomfortable question: Is allowing a child to become morbidly obese a form of child abuse? When parents introduce infants to soda and processed foods, establishing lifelong unhealthy relationships with nutrition, are we not setting them up for shortened, compromised lives? The solution requires action on multiple fronts—government policy reform, complete overhaul of nutrition education, parental accountability, and consumer choices that drive market change.
Join me in this crucial conversation and share it widely. Our children's futures depend on us recognizing this crisis and taking immediate action. Through our votes, our wallets, and our voices, we can create the change needed to save our next generation.

Food dyes derived from petroleum offer zero health benefits while potentially causing serious health problems and driving poor food choices. The government is finally taking action against these substances, but true change requires both regulatory efforts and educated consumers.
• RFK Jr. is targeting eight petroleum-based food dyes to be removed from foods by next year
• Food dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5 serve no nutritional purpose and exist purely for visual appeal
• Double-blind studies have linked Red 40 to increased hyperactivity in children with ADHD
• Yellow 40 has been connected to a 2-3% increase in asthmatic events
• Animal studies show high concentrations of dyes may increase tumor development tenfold
• Natural alternatives like beet and carrot colorings offer some nutritional benefits with none of the risks
• The regulatory process to remove harmful ingredients can take 5-10 years due to industry pushback
• Trans fats were banned six years ago but still appear in many foods through labeling loopholes
• European food standards are significantly higher than American standards
• Companies often market unhealthy, artificially colored products specifically to children
• Many common food additives banned in the EU remain legal in the US

Anthony and Dom explore the challenges of navigating fitness misinformation and provide practical strategies for identifying trustworthy advice in an industry flooded with conflicting information.
• Physical appearance doesn't guarantee expertise – someone with a six-pack isn't necessarily knowledgeable about exercise science
• The fitness industry lacks standardized regulation, allowing anyone to claim they're a trainer without proper credentials
• Fear-mongering tactics and promises of "special formulas" or "magic solutions" are major red flags
• Formal education provides some credibility but isn't the only factor to consider
• Fundamentals like strength training, cardio, proper sleep and nutrition remain the most reliable approaches
• Contract-free training options demonstrate a company's confidence in their product
• Focus on fitness professionals who specialize in what you need rather than claiming expertise in everything
• Consistency with basic principles matters more than perfect optimization or trendy approaches

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Frank Davis, the visionary behind Optivida Health, to explore his remarkable journey of overcoming childhood diseases and delving into the repercussions of our compromised food system. Join us as we delve into Frank's life, his relentless pursuit to become a thriving 78-year-old athlete, and the inception of Optivida Health—a revolution in health and wellness.
Frank's childhood was marred by various diseases, leaving his immune system compromised. As an adult, he faced even more health challenges, including chronic fatigue syndrome. Determined to find a cure, his research led him to the powerful realization that almost every disease could be linked back to a dietary deficiency. Inspired by the wisdom, "let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food," Frank was determined to seek better health through nutrition.
However, his exploration of health supplements revealed a shocking truth—many contained toxic compounds disguised as beneficial ingredients. Undeterred, Frank turned to whole foods, teaming up with a registered dietitian to create a whole food concentrate that would provide the body with every nutrient needed for optimal health.
The results were astounding—after just one month of taking this revolutionary product, Frank experienced a remarkable recovery, feeling better than ever at the age of 75. This transformation sparked a vision: to use technology, research, and pure whole foods to provide the body with the nutrients it needs to heal itself.
Thus, Optivida Health was born. Frank invested in cutting-edge technologies that preserved the nutrients, colors, and flavors of fresh fruits and vegetables, leading to a series of life-changing health products. With the collaboration of top bioscientists, biochemists, and formulators, Optivida Health continues to produce the purest, most bio-available, and effective health products on the market.
Join us in this episode as we unveil the powerful vision of Optivida Health and its dedication to providing the best-of-the-best in health and wellness to a world in need. Frank's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of whole food nutrition.

My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.
Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.

We cover a range of topics, including the best foods to eat for testosterone, the benefits of resistance training, and the importance of sleep and stress management. Plus, we delve into supplements that can help regulate your testosterone levels, such as Zinc, Magnesium, and D-Aspartic Acid.

My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.
Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.
Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world

This episode is full of quick tips and straightforward advice to help you build muscle. Join a gym, take it slow, and focus on rest and compound movements to maximize your time at the gym and achieve your muscle-building goals.
How To Build Muscle Quickly?
-
The importance of going to the gym (or using bodyweight exercises) to increase muscle mass.
-
Starting with a three-day-a-week gym schedule for beginners and spreading out muscle groups if you can commit to five or six days a week.
-
Muscle building occurs by tearing muscle fibers and letting them regrow to increase muscle mass. Rest is key in the muscle-building process, so it's important to give your muscles 48 hours of rest in between workouts.
-
I recommend focusing on compound movements, multi-joint exercises that hit multiple muscle groups, to save time at the gym.
-
I also emphasize the importance of learning how muscle building works, and understanding that you're tearing muscle, not building it, when you lift weights at the gym.
In conclusion, by going to the gym regularly, focusing on compound movements, and giving your muscles ample rest, you can build muscle in a simple and efficient way.

As a trainer the most common question I get it is,
"What is the best exercise program for weight loss?"
The answer is always HIIT training
HIIT stands for Hight Intensity Interval Training and is done by tracking Heart Rate Zones. It can be either done with cardiovascular exercise or through circuit training. I prefer the later because circuit training also builds muscle and muscle helps increase our metabolic rate to keep the weight off.
So how do I do HIIT training?
First you need to calculate your Heart Rate Zones:
Step 1: 220 minus Resting Heart Rate
Step 2: Resting Heart Rate times the percentage of your Max
Step 3: Add back your Resting Heart Rate
After you have your zones, then you can work on going in and out over certain intervals of time. For example, one minute on, one minute off.
Do this at least 3 times a week and watch the magic happen!

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced when ultraviolet rays from the sun hit the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D is essential for many body functions and is particularly important for the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It is also involved in immune system function and may have other roles in the body. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a loss of bone density, which can contribute to osteoporosis and fractures (broken bones). Severe vitamin D deficiency can also lead to other diseases. In children, it can cause rickets. Rickets is a rare disease that causes the bones to become soft and bend. Sun exposure is an easy and efficient way for the body to get vitamin D. The skin makes vitamin D when it is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun. However, it is important to be safe when in the sun and to get enough vitamin D without increasing the risk of skin cancer.

Here are some common questions:
How much vitamin D do I need?
What are the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency?
How can I get more vitamin D?
Can I take too much vitamin D?
What are the risks of vitamin D deficiency?
Can vitamin D help with certain health conditions?
What foods contain vitamin D?
Can vitamin D be harmful if taken in large amounts?
How do I know if I have a vitamin D deficiency?
Can vitamin D be taken with other medications?

What is Magnesium?
According to Examine.com, #Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral and the second most prevalent intracellular cation in the body. It also serves as a cofactor for over 600 enzymes. Most notably, magnesium is required for energy production, carbohydrate metabolism, and DNA and protein synthesis.
Magnesium is also an antagonist of #calcium in the body and is required for vitamin D synthesis and activation. As such, magnesium deficiency can inhibit the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation.[1]
Magnesium is abundant in green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Inadequate magnesium intake is common in developed countries, as Western diets tend to contain a very low content of the aforementioned foods and are rich in refined grains and processed foods, which are poor sources of magnesium.
Magnesium deficiency increases blood pressure, reduces insulin sensitivity, and causes neural excitation. Consequently, low serum magnesium levels are associated with a wide variety of conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis.
https://examine.com/supplements/magnesium/
What are some benefits of supplementing Magnesium?
-Blood Oxidation for Aerobic Exercise
-PMS Symptoms
-Increase In Strength
-Blood Pressure drop (Minimal)
-Migraine Symptoms
-Sleep Quality
-Can be used as a laxative
Dosage & Information:
According to examine.com,
The standard dosage for magnesium for adults is 250–450 milligrams per day (mg/day). However, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level for elemental magnesium from dietary supplements is 350 mg/day, because this was the highest dose determined not to cause diarrhea in most people. Magnesium should be taken with food.
Magnesium L-threonate is not recommended to attenuate a magnesium deficiency because it contains less elemental magnesium per dose than other forms. Magnesium oxide and hydroxide are also suboptimal choices because they are very poorly absorbed and gastrointestinal side effects are more common with them. Magnesium citrate and lactate are generally good choices for supplementation.

She advises her clients to focus on foods with stress-busting vitamins, minerals, and fats. You can also get these nutrients from organic supplements created specifically to relax the mind and body. Dr. Stern and I also share from our own personal experiences the meditation techniques and exercises that resets the mood and bring the mind to focus on the present.

🙋♂️ MEET THE HOST - Anthony Amen
My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.
Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.
Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world

So you went to the doctor and it turns out you have high cholesterol... Now what?
Millions of people a year are diagnosed with high cholesterol but, what does it mean.
Your total cholesterol is considered high if it is above 200 and all it means it is the total value of your LDL and HDLs.
According to the CDC, #cholesterol travels through the blood on proteins called “lipoproteins.” Two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout the body:
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.
When your body has too much LDL cholesterol, the LDL cholesterol can build up on the walls of your blood vessels. This buildup is called “plaque,” and it can cause health problems, such as heart disease and stroke.
According to multiple studies on PUBMED, dietary cholesterol does not increase your overall cholesterol.
Instead, foods high in #saturatedfat such as certain oils and meats can increase your LDL or lousy lipids and can increase your overall cholesterol
The opposite is true for your HDL or happy lipids which can help breakup that plague and make you healthier.

In this video, I address if it's important to have protein after a workout?
Studies show that it may not be a resounding yes, but there are definitely more benefits of getting enough protein then there is of not getting enough protein.
For example, according to an article on Pudmed, it is only important to have protein if you haven't eaten in 5-6 hours either before or after. If you have, then it won't make things worse but, probably won't make them better either.
However, the biggest issue is not having enough protein in your diet.
How much #protein should I have?
The RDA for protein right not is 0.8 g/kg/day and this is WAY TOO LOW!
According to multiple new studies, having upwards of 2.2 g/kg/day is way better for our bodies especially athletes and elderly.
What #kindofprotein should I have?
Just read labels and know the difference between a #wheyprotein blend, isolate and concentrate.

Creatine is the most researched supplement on the market. With that being said, it is also the most heavily debated, carefully watched and most overwhelming to all amateur weight lifters.
In this episode, I break down all about creatine and I throw a few theories of my own in it.
What is creatine?
According to examine.com,
"Creatine is a molecule that is produced in the body from amino acids. It's primarily made in the liver and (to a lesser extent) in the kidneys and pancreas.[1][2] Creatine stores high-energy phosphate groups in the form of phosphocreatine. These phosphate groups are donated to ADP to regenerate it to ATP, the primary energy carrier in the body.[3] This role in energy production is particularly relevant under conditions of high energy demand, such as intense physical or mental activity.
Creatine can be found in some animal-based foods and is most prevalent in meat and fish.[4][5] Athletes commonly take it as a powder or in capsules."
What are the primary benefits?
Power and strength are the most well known benefits of creatine.
What form of creatine should I take?
Creatine Monohydrate
Should I load?
Totally up to you. Just super important that you drink enough water.
What is the recommended dosage?
5g per day.

Wondering, How many calories you should a day?
Well, welcome to our first ever Quick Tip Episodes here at Health & Fitness Redefined.
In order to figure out how many calories you should eat a day, you need to figure out your BMR.
Your BMR is you Basal Metabolic Rate. It is how many calories your body burns at rest. Once you get that number, through a BMR Calculator, you can then figure out how many you need to eat in order to lose weight.
One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Meaning in order to gain or lose one pound of fat, you need to eat 3500 calories over your BMR or in order to lose weight you need to eat 3500 calories under your BMR.
Most people eat 500 calories under their BMR a day, so that means every week they should lose one pound of fat.

Meet Jimmy Clare aka The Crazy Fitness Guy!
Jimmy's parents were told that as an infant he wasn't going to survive birth, let alone his toddler years. Through all of that hardship at such a young age, he not only survived, but baffled the physicians with how well he was.
It wasn't all roses after those rough years, because Jimmy was born with Autism and had to help survive the rath of public school as he learned to find his way. This lead him down the road to P90x where he picked up his fitness habit.
This gave him the confidence he needed to not only get into fitness but, also public speaking and hosting his own podcast. To him Autism has helped him get where he wants to go and that in itself is truly a miracle.

I get asked all the time on how to make sure fitness is a priority in your life. Well, the answer is long-winded but, definitely worth the listen.
Here are some quick tips to make fitness a priority in your life:
- Incorporate a work-backward method to add time to your morning. We all lose 20-30 minutes later in our days, by either scrolling through our phones, playing video games, or watching TV and when asked we say that it is too late to get a workout in. So instead take that 20-30 minutes and put it into your morning. The morning is a great time to get things done because it prevents last minute things from being thrown in front of you.
- Avoid drive-thrus. Drive-thrus are a great way to waste time and be inactive. I have seen countless times how much faster it is to park, walk in, order and get out before those on a drive-thru. Getting that extra 100 steps in per day for that morning cup of coffee, is a great way to get an extra 36,500 steps in per year.
- Radius rule: The radius rule is a great way to make sure you get those extra steps in your day. Using the radius rule, you can set parameters in which you always have to walk.
- Park in the back. I can't tell you how many times I see people wait for a closer spot, when in reality it takes me quicker to park in the back and walk to wherever I am going. Now you saved time and got those extra steps in.
- Don't blame kids or spouses for poor eating habits and instead use a reward system, If you kids want ice cream at Carvel, don't just go get ice cream. Tell them that you can go on Sunday, if they do a 10 minute walk with you everyday. Now your kids got over an hour of walking in extra a week and you got some well needed bonding time. Plus a good rule of thumb, if it isn't good for you to eat it then it isn't good for your kids to eat it.
These 5 tips can do wonders to help keep your health on track! The may sound unneeded but, compounded together I promise they will make a lasting impression!

🙋♂️ MEET THE HOST - Anthony Amen
My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.
Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.
Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world

Our story actually began in the US military, as strange as that might seem. The research was first conducted while trying to solve a completely different problem for the U.S. Air Force.
The Backstory: Upon deployment of its first F-16 fighter jets, the Air Force found that many of its fighter pilots were experiencing incidents of g-force blackout: a condition that causes temporary vision loss. This type of aircraft turns very quickly, putting greater g-force on the pilot, and thus putting him in danger. To find a solution, the Air Force commissioned Dr. Ronald L. Wiley, a respected cardiopulmonary physiologist, to research the problem and, hopefully, find a solution.
Multiple experiments were conducted, and countless hypotheses disproved, but one particular experiment yielded some unexpected data. As part of one of his experiments, Dr. Wiley had pilots grab a steel rod as hard as they could while experiencing g-force under flight conditions.
While poring over the subsequent data, Dr. Wiley became intrigued by the health histories of two particular pilots, each who were considered “pre-hypertensive” prior to his battery of experiments, yet were back to normal levels at the completion of the experiments. Believing there must have been a link somewhere in his research, he made it his life’s goal to find the link.
After years of research, Dr. Wiley drew a correlation between the steel rod and the reduction he had measured. The grip, he determined, simulated an isometric exercise. Over time, and after much trial and error, Dr. Wiley developed the computer-controlled handgrip exercise device that we now affectionately call the Zona Plus! The Zona Plus uses biofeedback to design personalized exercise sessions, customized for each user, by calibrating to what we call “maximum voluntary contraction.” Each session is unique. Each session is effective. And each session is conducted with the user in mind.

About Joseph Corella:
Joseph Corella, a 3rd generation Mexican American, is originally from the hot desert of Phoenix, Arizona. Using his dance, theatre, and fitness background, Joseph has traveled the globe, spreading his love and understanding of the importance of movement to such places as Japan, France, England, and Canada and dozens of cities across the United States. Joseph’s connection to movement started in his early childhood with extensive training in jazz, tap, contemporary, and ballet. At thirteen, he became a member of famed choreographer Marguerite Derricks’ prestigious dance company in Los Angeles, Tremaine Teen Company, and shortly after that appeared in Disney’s Geppetto alongside pop superstar Usher. In 1997, Joseph was named American Dance Awards’ Teen Male Dancer of the Year. Soon after, the band Tropic Zone was created around Joseph and 2 others, with whom he toured extensively, including the US.
Joseph's proudest accomplishment to date is co-creating with his Husband, 567BROADWAY! an all-levels dance fitness class. This idea was born out of Joseph’s desire to create, encourage, and provide an inclusive sense of community where EVERYONE could have a safe space to dance and start their fitness journeys. 567BROADWAY! is a fun dance fitness experience that fuses the magic of Broadway with cardio and strength training to give you a full-body workout! Featuring hit songs such as “One” (A Chorus Line), “Born to Hand Jive” (Grease), “Bend and Snap” (Legally Blonde), “You Can’t Stop The Beat” (Hairspray), and more, ALL LEVELS WELCOME! Trust us, you haven’t lived until you’ve done choreographed squats to “Bend and Snap”!

My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.
Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.
Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world

The story of Phocus began when John was looking for a boost for late-night medical school study sessions. Energy drinks and sodas dominated the hospitals and University cafes despite their unhealthy ingredients. He couldn't find a drink that would wake him up without the baggage of additives, calories, or coffee. From the fall of 2015 until early 2017, he committed his off-hours in medical school to develop his idea for Phocus and deferred his residency in 2018 to focus on the company full time.

🙋♂️ MEET THE HOST - Anthony Amen
My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.
Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.
Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world

Most planner companies focus on productivity, but Jaclyn believes that women don't have a productivity problem. She also thinks that these companies are not giving much attention to the wellness aspect. Having been diagnosed with autoimmune disease, Jaclyn had trouble tracking everything. She used 6-7 notebooks at a time to compare her experiences with diet changes and figure out the lifestyle patterns that work for her. With a career in graphic designing, she founded Creekside Press to solve that problem. She also talks about physical wellness and seven other dimensions of wellness you should keep in mind to stay healthy and happy.

From being 200lbs heavier, Stephanie feels healthier and is in a much better mental space by cooking better, moving more often, and hydrating well throughout the day. She never set out to intentionally lose weight. It's difficult to go after a body shape goal when you have sagging skin or extra inches around your belly. Rather than focusing on the picture of how you want to look, ask yourself: "how do I accept myself as I am now?" She tells us that it's all about the habits you can do at the moment to feel good in your body today and use it at its best capacity.
TIMESTAMPS
9:18 How small habits can transform you in a massive and sustainable way

Grab some water because this episode will make you sit down and tune in as we talk all about proper body hydration. This week, we have the CEO of Hydronique Hydration tell us what your body actually needs (drinking MORE water doesn't help) to stay hydrated. Kedar also shares other sources of electrolytes other than sodium, which you are probably already getting from your diet anyway.
TIMESTAMPS
1:39 How Hydronique Hydration started
7:08 Why plain water is not enough
11:34 How to tell whether you're hydrated or not
14:22 Sodium intake and other sources of electrolytes
24:19 Most sports drinks in the market have so much sugar
26:27 What's in Hydronique Hydration
About Kedar
2020 was a tough year for everyone. Kedar's family and friends working on the frontlines had it particularly difficult –the equipment they wore to protect themselves actually prevented them from eating and drinking all day and night. They would leave work burnt out, malnourished, and dehydrated.
Kedar created Hydronique Hydration to change all that. He began by creating his own powder blends in his own small apartment kitchen until eventually partnering with an established manufacturer to produce high-quality nutrient-rich sugar-free hydration formulations.

My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.
Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.
Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world

Should we reject or support COVID-19 vaccine mandates in our states? It's a question that has sharply divided Americans like we had never seen before. In this Part 2 episode of our COVID-19 series, we sit down with two essential healthcare workers, Tina and Lily, who argue against the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. We talk about the waning COVID-19 vaccine immunity and reluctance to discuss the power of natural immunity. It leads us to a passionate conversation on myths about anti-vaxxers, discrimination, stigmatization, and punishing the unvaccinated.

In this episode, we discuss the "Biological Soul", and Dr. Bob walks us through the ways immune system works and draws an analogy between natural immune response and a police department. We turn to the topic of COVID-19 vaccine and how it can enhance the average immune system to recognize and catch the "criminal" that interferes with the Biological Soul. This one's a spicy topic, but please enjoy!
Doctor Robert "Dr. Bob" G. Lahita is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, a Professor at New York Medical College, and the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at St. Joseph's Healthcare System. Dr. Bob is the author of more than 16 books and 150 scientific publications in the field of autoimmunity.
His book "Immunity Strong: Boost your Natural Healing Power and Live to 100" provides a wealth of information on the incredible complexity of the immune system and how the integration of spiritual, scientific, and emotional values can enhance health.

overeating and #emotionaleating are more prevalent in our lives then we care to admit. From binging on high sugary snacks at night to burying our faces in fried, fatty foods, we always tend to curb our emotions with food.
Food unlike alcohol, isn't something we can just stop doing. We can't just stop eating like we can with booze or cigarettes.
So how do we control it?
First we have to ask why do we emotionally eat?
Emotionally eating usually stems from wanting to take out daily stressors with food to help bury and hid our emotions.
There are two ways to help confront this:
1. Take a stand to that stressor. Learn how to cope and work with that stressor instead of letting it linger throughout your days and weeks.
2. Take out that stress with something else. Tons of us, reach for unhealthy options when it comes to stress like booze or food. We then eat or drink way too much, to only stress more about our healthy and not be in the right mindset going forward. So what if, you took that stress out in a positive way?
Try:
meditating #exercising #hiking #wellnessspas or other options that will help not only relax you, but put you towards a more positive approach.
Tricia Nelson, Founder of Heal Your Hunger really breaks down different ways to help you approach this daunting task.

When you hear about algae, what do you think?
Ew
That gross stuff that I keep tripping on when I get into the water.
Or maybe, that stuff smells and is for fish
What if we told you that algae is something you should not only be consuming but, having on a regular basis?
No really, eating algae has tons of benefits and Catharine from EnergyBits, tells us all about why
Who is Catharine?
Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).
As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.
It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae.
Scientists have found that Spirulina has “immune-stimulant activities. It is able to increase the production and activity of bone marrow stem cells, macrophages, and T-cells. It improves cell nucleus enzyme activity, and DNA repair capacity. As such, it has a role in cancer treatment and inhibits HIV-1 replication in human-derived T-cell lines” (Ramasubramania Raja, 2016). [1] Other scientists confirm that “Spirulina contains functional compounds, such as phenolics, phycocyanins, and polysaccharides, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulating effects”. “Spirulina not only supports the immune system but its ability to reduce inflammation makes it “ useful in the prevention of the metabolic syndrome which is characterized by low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, and intestinal dysbiosis” [2]
What is Chlorella?
Chlorella is quickly becoming well known (along with spirulina) as one of the world’s healthiest foods. With so many reasons to take it, including detox, immune support, and better athletic performance, chlorella will soon be in green smoothies across the country! While the issues concerning our agriculture and environment seem to be growing more alarming, there is one simple way to help your body in its battle with toxins – chlorella algae.

In western medicine, we rely heavily on Big Pharma and all the drugs they push out to help cure things like #depression , #anxiety , and other #mentalillnesses . But they lack in understanding of understanding #psychedelics that have been used for over 15,000 years. Including things like Magic Mushrooms, which only until about 5 years ago have even been researched.
Jonathan de Potter really didn't understand anything about this field, until he started his own personally journey of self-discovery at a retreat in Peru. This experience really opened his eyes into understanding that there is more to life then any egocentric thoughts or beliefs, so he started his own practice that has evolved into making an individual go from good to great!
At Behold Retreats, we facilitate life-changing plant medicine (psychedelic) journeys to elevate our clients to peak performance and well-being.
We guide clients that are ready to accelerate personal and spiritual growth to realize the full transformational benefits of psychedelic medicine like 5-MeO-DMT, Ayahuasca, and Psilocybin and provide safety, expertise, and curation, with memorable private and group retreats available in idyllic locations.
With two decades of proven science and neurology on the subject of plant medicine from JHU, Harvard, Yale, etc, not to mention the recent Compass Pathways $1Bn IPO, this topic is set to radically improve our collective trajectory.
Through our journey to guide clients to maximize the benefits of plant medicine, we have been networking extensively with industry leaders, developing insights to accelerate self-improvement that may be of interest to your audience.
I had the privilege to be a guest on Healing Intentions hosted by Dr. Adrian Mehmedi. If you’d like a deeper insight into plant medicine, this is a great place to start.
So take a dive into understanding more about plant based medicine and watch the world around you unfold!

We all sit.
But did you know that the average American sits almost 13 hours a day?!?!
So is sitting all that bad?
Sitting has been shown to increase your chances of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and greatly increases your risk for dying at a younger age.
No this doesn't mean that you need to constantly move, it just means that you really shouldn't be sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Stefan teaches people how to keep going and be more productive at work. Some examples he uses: Have a standing desk, pace while on the phone, take 20 seconds every 20 minutes to stretch your legs and try to just be mindful of when you should be standing.
This episode will surely blow you out of your seat as it is jampacked with stats, insights and much, much more!

Three Tips To Achieving Your Goals
Trying to lose weight? Maybe bulk up?
How about just eating less?
Here are my 3 Steps to achieving your goals!
-
Plan
Have a plan of action. No goal can get accomplished if you don't have a plan. Just saying you will doesn't keep you accountable and it will never come to fruition.
Instead have a plan and write it down! Take that plan and put it somewhere you will always see it. Maybe on your frig. -
Track
Tracking is KEY. Without tracking you will never truly know yourself.
Maybe you eat more calories than you admit to yourself. Maybe you don't sleep like you thought you did! Keep yourself accountable and track everything!
Things I track for my 30 day challenge: Calories, Protein, Steps, Water, Sleep, Happiness, Stress, Good Deeds, Exercise, Meditating, and Whoopsies.
- Execute
Just do it! There is always a tomorrow, but tomorrow will never truly come. So start today.
Not in an hour, not in 5 minutes. RIGHT NOW
Ready
Set

What Is The Best Diet For Longevity?
And How Chuck Rose's Mom 110 Year Old Mom. Who is now 111!
We get bombarded everyday about eat this, no wait eat that!
The information is overwhelming and frankly just too much.
Meet Chuck Rose:
Chuck Rose has spent most of the last 50 years customizing, evolving a set of simple, useful techniques to improve and integrate nutrition, fitness and mindbody connection, growing from an overweight kid mesmerized by ecstatic cartoon characters raving about the euphoria of sugar, into a lean, athletic adult who no longer quotes Tony the Tiger.
As part of his customizing journey, Rose decided to learn what he could from the bookshelves of one of the largest Barnes & Noble bookstores on Earth. After 20 visits, he was able to survey the approximately 500 books in the health-related sections, choose what looked like the best 100, and read or skim all of them. The conclusion: about 10 books were worth reading. The other 90 you could use to wrap fish. None of them articulated the Customize Yourself approach. This situation necessitated writing the Customize Yourself book series.
In between pandemics, Rose also devotes time to exploring the art of cinema. As founder, curator and moderator of Arthouse Film Festival (AFF), he has informed and entertained live audiences for 29 years, booking and interviewing 1,194 filmmakers and actors for AFF while also producing and moderating post-screening discussions and seminars for Paramount, Universal and SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
Spending time on both coasts, Rose has authored 30 screenplays, directed Vietnam Vets starring Danny Aiello, worked in the story department at Orion Pictures, served as a Contributing Editor at Movies USA and written feature articles for The Hollywood Reporter.
He has held faculty positions at Seton Hall University, Adelphi University and The New School for Social Research. Rose is an alumnus of the Warner Bros. Writers Workshop, and holds an MA from the University of Southern California and a BFA from New York University.
His greatest joy is swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, or the Pacific, or whatever ocean is convenient. While his 10 sitting-on-the-edge-of-the-planet summers as a lifeguard in Pt. Pleasant Beach, New Jersey are fading into history, he promises to stay fit enough to help out on a rough day.
Ranking of best to worst diets: https://health.usnews.com/best-diet/best-diets-overall
With the Keto Diet being rated one of the WORST diets to be on, no wonder we have a weight problem in this country.
It is amazing how many diets people blindly fall into, without thinking of any long term consequences or ill effects. That is why Chuck and I both agree that customizing your own diet is the key to success!

All about that gut!
Today's episode is all about that gut health. Whether you suffer from lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance or just constantly complain your stomach hurts, well this episode is for you!
Norm is an expert when it comes to understanding our gastrointestinal system. He explains how our GI tract is filled with millions of different types of bacteria that feed off of our food waste to help us sustain energy and put off starvation. His Fast Tract Diet shows that low carb diets can really help you lose weight and stop suffering from constant food pains.
Norm Robillard, Ph.D., Founder of the Digestive Health Institute (http://digestivehealthinstitute.com/), is a strong advocate of drug-and-antibiotic-free dietary, behavioral and integrative solutions for functional gastrointestinal disorders and various forms of gut dysbiosis. He helps people, who may have concerns about side effects and health risks associated with long-term drug-based treatments or whose conventional treatments were ineffective. His approach is based on the principles of the Fast Tract Diet including:
- Dietary
- Identifying and addressing underlying causes that are specific to the individual
- Pro-absorption / gut-friendly behaviors and practices, including supplementation
The Fast Tract Diet (FTD) was presented at Digestive Disease Week (https://ddw.org/) to give gastroenterologists a science-based treatment option for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and related conditions. His award-winning Fast Tract Diet mobile app and Fast Tract Digestion book series make it easy to implement the Fast Tract Diet.

As you can see, I believe in always being a student and embracing what you enjoy best; even if its out of the social norm. I have been through many life transitions and can relate to who I serve with personal experiences and listening. Just like many, I am a survivor in many ways. Overcoming sexual assault, anxiety/depression, hypothyroidism, PCOS, infertility struggles, gluten intolerance, and divorce. These struggles and health challenges in our lives do not define us; but can be used as a lesson or wake up call to make necessary changes on our personal journey to well-being. While I am not immune to challenge and struggle, I can confidently say that I am happier and healthier than ever before. I am now living my passions and even that can seem like a struggle sometimes. I feel like my life has been a roller coaster of adventure, excitement, fear, and challenge. The big picture continues to be bright and I’m trying to gracefully enjoy the ride. I don’t do it alone, and you don’t have to either.
What am I really about?
I believe in the power of connection, nature, and life itself. It seems as though we are surrounded by distraction, to-do lists, social expectations and negativity that steer us away from who we really are. I believe life and the people and experiences in it are our teachers and guides back to our Self. In this, I am a life long student of life and am fascinated by learning from books, teachers and experiences. Since life has so much to offer and we are often so busy and distracted, I believe in settling into the pause, celebration, connection and continuous new beginnings. We are all incredibly unique and you are the expert on you. I enjoy getting to know each of my clients and reflecting back the strengths I see in them as they make healthy habits; their way.
I believe that without health and well-being, everything else can seem harder than it has too. While we may not be able to have a picture perfect health profile, we can create a lifestyle to be healthy and feel well based on the choices we make that work specifically for us.

About Bobbi;
Most people haven’t heard a doctor tell them, “You shoudn’t be alive.” Bobbi has. And her personal story of re-building her health to become a vibrant athlete is inspiring and offers hope to listeners that anything is possible for them. It also gives her credibility as she hasn’t just studied these concepts, she has lived them – and, in fact, is alive because of them. Bobbi blends her storytelling ability with her experience in coaching thousands of people and her graduate studies to deliver key insights and practical steps forward.
One of Bobbi’s signature strengths is in helping people to “Just Start” and to learn their way forward. This is rooted in her belief that while goal setting and having a vision is important, it is more important to just start. Nothing happens until you do. No progress can be made, and no learning can be created until we put ourselves in the game. Bobbi offers listeners proven ways to get off the bench and move towards their goals and dreams.
A critical component of that is to manage the voice inside each of us that tell us to “just wait.” This is the voice that tells us that we might fail or be rejected or make a mistake or look foolish. In having coached more than 3000 people in her career, Bobbi understands how to help people silence that voice and move forward.
The other critical piece is to learn your way forward. It is almost impossible to know everything we need to know before we start – and that is not a reason to wait. It simply means that we need to become students of learning how to learn the skills, behaviors and mindsets that will make us successful. These are all learnable behaviors and skills; they are not innate things that we are born with or not. They can be learned and developed the same as any other skill, like learning to ride, learning to ski, or learning to hit a ball. We may not become great at them overnight, but they can be learned, practiced, and mastered.
One thing that Bobbi’s journey – and her vast coaching experience -- has taught her is that change, challenge, and uncertainty are a normal part of life. When we accept that, and we frame it as “what do I need to learn next?” we can and will make progress towards what is important to us.
Bobbi's belief -- and her personal story -- is that when we do all these things, we can truly lead our own life and create the life we love to live -- everyday. She has a deep belief that we can all love our lives all 52 weeks of the year -- not just the two weeks of vacation. That's what she and her husband set out to do when they left corporate America and while the road hasn't been without it's ups and downs and twists and turns, it's what they've created for themselves. It is achievable.
Three Fundamental Truths To Being Successful:
~ The future can be changed. No matter where you are right now, your future can be changed.
~ You can change your future. You can write your own story and be the hero of that story. You have everything inside you that you need.
~You can start now. Don’t worry about not having all of the steps, knowledge or skills. That is all learnable. Focus on the story you want to create and trust that you can learn the rest.

Yo-yo diets, crash diets, weight gain, weight loss...
This is a common circle for many individuals that struggle to maintain their weight. Most of us might be 10-30 lbs over weight but, sometimes life gets a hold of use and we end up being 100 to 200 lbs overweight and life starts looking grim.
Meet Trish, a relatively normal person who found herself close to 300lbs.
Some of the questions we dive into:
What made you begin this journey?
Why do some not ask for help?
Did it shock you that no one told you that you needed help?
Why didn't you go the Gastric Bypass route?
How did you keep it off?
What were your small goals?

Meet Kareem
Longevity Coach and Personal Training Expert
In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to move and workout properly. Whether it's understanding the mind to muscle connection or understanding how to move the body, it is important to note that working out isn't all squats.
Most people think they truly understand how to workout and that all they need is some push-ups or squats, which once they perfect they are now a self-proclaimed personal trainer. This is far from the truth!
First, we all need to be conscious that exercise isn't all about running or lifting weights, but instead it is about moving the body in such a way that you optimize its output. This can be done in a variety of ways from, just concentrating on contractions to working in instable environments. All of this builds proprioception and helps bring movement to the conscious mind.
This little things can have impacts from athletes to seniors because once you understand your body it is easier to learn how to not get hurt and how important working out really is.
Kareem and I talk in detail about how important it is to workout for longevity and this episode is truly one, you want to listen to!

GET OFF YOUR ASS!
Fernando's newest book about how to help you improve almost every aspect of your life. Whether it is wanting to play professional basketball or just going for a walk, Fernando really wants to inspire people.

3. Eat more greens
4. Stress less

Meet Nate Carroll.
A father of three and a full-time employee.
But did you know Nate know is a Guinness Book of World Record holder.
Nate just completed the world record for most push-ups in one year, totaling over 1.5 million pushups!
But how/ why did he do it?
From humble backgrounds, Nate felt the need to give back. He witnessed with the rest of the world, the impact 9/11 put on us. He saw some run into a burning building to help those that are stuck and ultimately gave their lives to save others. Seeing this, he knew that he would do something big and give back.
With some planning and a purpose, Nate joined up with Tunnels To Towers Foundation to help raise money for those that truly deserve it. His passion to help give back helped him to get over 4,000 pushups a day.
But that's not all.
Just like a small business owner, who has to self motivate and show the worls that anything is posdible, Nate wanted to show his kids that they can do anything they set their minds to.
Tunnels to Towers Story: Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller was the youngest of seven children born to Mae and George Siller. At the age of eight, Stephen lost his father, and a year and a half later his mother passed away, leaving him an orphan to be raised by his older siblings. For a while Stephen went through a period of struggle, but thanks to the love of his siblings, and the values instilled in him by his parents, he grew up to be an extraordinary individual and dedicated firefighter. More than most, he knew that time was precious and accomplished much in his 34 years.
On September 11, 2001, Stephen, who was assigned to Brooklyn’s Squad 1, had just finished his shift and was on his way to play golf with his brothers when he got word over his scanner of a plane hitting the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Upon hearing the news, Stephen called his wife Sally and asked her to tell his brothers he would catch up with them later. He returned to Squad 1 to get his gear.
Stephen drove his truck to the entrance of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, but it had already been closed for security purposes. Determined to carry out his duty, he strapped 60 lbs. of gear to his back, and raced on foot through the tunnel to the Twin Towers, where he gave up his life while saving others.
Stephen had everything to live for; a great wife, five wonderful children, a devoted extended family, and friends. Stephen’s parents were lay Franciscans and he grew up under the guiding philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi, whose encouraging and inspirational phrase “while we have time, let us do good” were words that Stephen lived by. Stephen’s life and heroic death serve as a reminder to us all to live life to the fullest and to spend our time here on earth doing good – this is his legacy.
Author and family friend Jay Price wrote: “Every momentous event, even a tragedy, has its symbolic figures. September 11th was no different; it just had a few more of them. Rudy Giuliani, Father Mychal Judge, the four guys on United Flight 93 … a hundred more … a thousand. None bigger than Stephen Siller, whose stature only grows with time as New Yorkers and people from around the world follow his footsteps.”

Last time we spoke with Charlie, we were talking about gym closures across NY state and how they were left to dry with no reopening plans.
Fast forward seven months and now everything is open with no capacity or other state mandates.
But what does this all mean?
Will gyms survive?
Is everything just back to normal?
What can we do to help our local gyms?
Charlie Cassara, President of the United States Fitness Coalition, really dives into how now isn't a time to celebrate. Yes, things are opening, yes gyms are picking up, but with no funding the $100,000 plus back rent and other fees that these places own, will now have to be paid.
Landlord will soon have the ability to start evicting tenants and gym owners are just left out to dry.

The GYMS Act—or Gym Mitigation and Survival Act—(H.R. 890/S. 1613) will establish a recovery fund to provide structured relief to health and fitness service establishments that have been uniquely hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to IHRS:
5 Pieces of Data Showing the Devastating Impact of COVID-19 on the Health and Fitness Industry
- 1.4 million fitness professionals have lost their jobs (44% of jobs in the industry).
- $20.4 billion in lost revenue through December 2020, that's a 58% decline from 2019.
- 17% of clubs permanently closed as of December 2020.
- According to a January survey, fewer than 50 percent of small gyms and fitness studios expect to survive through 2021 without federal support.
- According to data released by Yelp, gyms and fitness facilities currently face higher closure rates than nearly any other industry, including restaurants and bars.
Previous government programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) have addressed some of the industry’s needs, though they have not been enough.
The health and fitness industry continues to face a significant loss of revenue—both in direct membership and ancillary costs like studio classes—and will do so for the foreseeable future. Clubs that have opened are opening at 25-50% capacity while still having 100% of their expenses. https://www.ihrsa.org/federal/the-gym-mitigation-and-survival-act/

Stop...Breath in....Hold...Breath Out
Breathing has more of a control over us then we realize. Each breathe is a sign that we are alive and in the moment, even if we don't realize it.
But what does it mean?
Meet Himanish
My name is Himanish Goel and I help individuals use spirituality & breathing techniques for their next big thing, from believing in the universe. While also helping provide career advice to students and unemployed professionals, for showing them a different view of how to look at the job market.
The Secret tells us that what we put out in the universe, we get ten times back. This applies to both positive and negative thoughts. Even if you don't believe in the power of the universe, there is still logic behind this.
When you want something, you take twists and turns that push you ever so closer even if that goal is thousands of steps away. On the other hand, thinking you can't get there, you never take a step, you never have the time or energy and usually end up falling way short.
With breathing, we can help bring ourselves back to the present time. At the moment our goal may be far-reaching, but if we stop to do some breathing, we can find ways to focus on the now.

We've talked, learned, and listened about tons of ways to eat healthier. We've dove down into different types of nutrients and minerals but, we've never talked about how to actually cook them.
I've learned that clients say they know how to eat healthy, but then they complain that all they eat is chicken and rice.
Personally, I feel this same way, which is why I go out to eat. I know how to cook some foods, but making a Persian dish is just out of the question.
So now we introduce Chef Allen Campbell, culinary genius!
Chef Allen started from humble beginnings, realizing that he loves food and just wanting to learn how to make it. From there he went into culinary school and worked his way up to the ladder.
He worked hard to move up from 2 star to 5 star restaurants and even became Tom Brady's cook, but this is only the beginning of this journey. He really came into his own, when he opened up his own meal company that he has been pushing out from Boston to Miami.
He calls this AC Kitchen, where he makes organic, real food and hand delivers it to your door!

So we want to know, what are some cooking techniques we can use to eat healthier?!
What different types of Oils Should I cook with?
Turns out, you should really limit cooking with oils. Canola Oil is oil that comes from rapeseed, so they changed it to Canada Oil, hence Canola to make it sound more Italian. It has a low cooking point and is easily mass produced.
Olive Oil is a good finisher but, also has a low cooking point, so try to use heat with it.
Avocado Oil and Coconut Oil have higher cooking points and are great in moderation to us for cooking. But did you that you can just use water...
It is a lot cheaper and way healthier.
What is phytic acid? Why is phytic acid bad and how can we avoid them?
Phytic acid or anti-nutrients can cause GI Inflammation and end up really hurting our tracks. They come from unprocessed, brown rice and beans. In order to avoid them you need to have them sit in water for 24 hours with a little bit of apple cider vinegar. This will make them more easily digestible and avoid any GI issues.

When most of us live in COVID 19 fear, the sense of uncertainty, she had led her hands truly on what humanity is looking for but afraid most of us to find over forty years ago. She provides aspiring individuals consultation, coaching, and training on how to conquer this space of mind power from the Unconscious mind and liberate beyond mind prison. so they will never need to drink poison to quench thirst like those leaders, masters, gurus, practitioners on personal development, healing, law of attraction, Neuro-linguistic program, meditation, cultivation, enlightenment, perfect diet and nutrition, balanced lifestyle are trapped heading to the cliff edge and driving themselves to the end without awareness.
When most are living in COVID 19 Pandemic fear, the sense of uncertainty of future and after death, I had been that place since my birth.
I was born as an extra person in the family and had never be accepted. My birthdate was my apology day for my existence, and I lived with ongoing catastrophic events and could have driven myself to the end at any moment.
The awakening moment on mind power in the Unconscious mind at age six saved me from living in the hell from within.
It led my hands truly on what humanity is looking for but afraid most of us to find. As a result, I discovered other forces trying to use this part of my mind. I had to fight 24/7 to dominate it.
It saved me from suffering like others but uplift to the next level although I was facing devastating moments, like: from drawing at birth; living in fear of being poisoned or abandoned by doctoral parents; daily slavery, discrimination and torture; sleeping with smelling crawling bugs in the quilt; being disfigured by family, forced to use the incorrect birthdate record, to escaping from arranged marriage; facing the threat of being removed from genealogy and miracle survival from a potential accidental death in Fi Ji sea.
knowing that I put them as the beneficiary in my will when I reached my dreamed success in my early thirties, my parents only expected my immediate accidental death.
My early success allowed me to invest over one million US dollars in the past decades, researching the root causes that force most other aspiring successful individuals except me with the super mental strength to tragic destiny and the web of earth misery.
I have spent over forty years refining this secret formula, benefiting from her unique upbringing in a western medical family with 11 generations of Chinese herbal medicine practitioner Heritage; the 22nd generation on energy healing; academic study; holistic qualifications; rich clinical experience; and unstoppable cross-disciplinary testing by risking her life researching how human mind connects with the physical world, metaphysical world, quantum physics and effects business, career, and personal life.

Mike, like a lot of us, waited until he got some bad news to start working out. His doctor was watching his cholesterol levels sky rocket and told him that he needed to change his lifestyle before it was too late. That coupled with losing family members to cardiovascular disease, really made him think.
So why does that light spark for some and not others?
Some perhaps just don't believe it or maybe "seeing really is believing" . That French fry definitely won't kill you, but put that together with a poor lifestyle and things will turn bleak. Maybe the issue is that it is a slow process, so not degenerating quickly, makes you believe it isn't true.
What does taking care of the whole person mean?
Mike talks about how they take care of the whole person, which to him means going beyond just that 30 minutes you workout together. In order to really achieve your goals, things need to be IN sync with each other. That means staying hydrated, working out, eating enough protein, or just walking a little bit more. He focuses on all of these to really make sure you stay on the right track.
On thing he does is Reverse Dieting. Which is when they actual increase their clients calorie goals instead of decreasing it.
Eating too little is detrimental to our goals because we trick our brain to not thinking there is enough food around. This causes us to actually start burning muscle and end up looking skinny fat. It is imperative that we focus on eating enough food especially protein so we can maintain lean muscle mass and really hit our target.
Another concept we touched is treating instead of cheating. Cheating is too negative and makes us feeling like we are doing something wrong. So instead if we focused on cheating, we should change it to treating, which implies that we deserve that treat because we hit all our other goals for that month.
Fit Body Bootcamp is a fun, energetic way to get going!
As Mike said, "Just start and don't be afraid, we all start somewhere"

Meet Dr. Kien Vuu!
Dr. Vuu isn't your typical world renowned anti aging physician. Instead, he as learned to blend alternative health practices to help you feel and live a better life. He calls this his Thrive State!
Dr. Vuu was born in to two pharmacists living in what just became known as communist Korea. His family knew that they needed to get out and finally succeed on their second attempt. Kien was only an infant when he sailed that packed refugee boat and was the only infant to survive.
Once in America, it was hard for a refugee like himself to fit into the high accelerated courses that we has taking all throughout school. He quickly became a the top doctor in his class and eventually started his own practice.
Then he had to survive again, when he realized that his own health was diminishing. Suffering from high blood pressure, Dr. Kien Vuu started studying all about health and wellness to soon discover the amazing benefits it can have.
This has now given him a path to success as, he pushes his growth to help show others.
We first discuss some practices that physicians use and how we can add some of these alternative practices to help change medicine for the better. Too often people use medicine as a band-aid instead of really looking for the underlying cause which is usually their own health.
By practicing simple techniques from eating better food, to moving more, to even being a better partner in your relationship, these can have a profound effect on your health and help you live a longer, healthier life.

Is Pilates more then just core and glutes?
What exactly is a reformer and why does it look scary?
Meet Amy Hirsch
Owner of Precision Pilates
Amy went to school for exercise science and eventually feel in love with Cardiac Rehab. This job inspired her to get her masters degree and really dive into all about the human body, but something was wrong. She noticed as the years went by she was spending more time on the computer and less with people.
This lose of connection, along with realizing they needed a better Pilates teacher, drove her to become an instructor.
Taking on this relatively new form of exercising, Amy eventually found her way into owning her own place in Smithtown, NY
So what is Pilates?
Pilates was formed by Joseph Pilates and started off on the floor, using his blend of yoga and fitness techniques.
What is floor pilates?
It is the basic framework of pilates and puts you through a series of exercises that really engage your core.
What is pilates reformer?

Being born with scoliosis, Vanessa learned early in life that she had to think differently. The scoliosis gave her back pain, which western medicine couldn't seem to help, but what did was getting massages and taking yoga.
But this isn't her story.
Her story starts, when she flipped her car and ended up getting THREE Traumatic Brain Injuries. Her speech was impaired, her motor skills were off and she couldn't even say what was on her mind. Doctors recommended a psychiatrist and learning how to cope with it but, Vanessa wasn't one to give up.
With the help of an Osteopathic Doctor, a massage therapist and others she slowly learned how to get back to normal. From what seem like a death sentence, she was able to fully recover in a year.
What are the benefits of massages?
Massages are more then just that relaxing one you got last week. Instead massages really target the muscles facia which can help with release and blood flow. This prompts the body to start sending healing hormones to help your body feel better.
What are the benefits of Acupuncture ?
Way too many to list, but acupuncture is the real deal. It was been shown to help our bodies heal whether it is from GI issues or injuries, those needles really do hit the spot.
What are the benefits of Yoga?
Too many to list, but stress is one of the number one reasons we get sick. How do you cope with stress? well mindfulness and mediation are the way to go.
Put that all together and you get Vanessa's shop, which is a blend of all three!

We finally decide to go exercise and we run to the gym. Before we know it, we are 45 minutes in and just bouncing around a bunch of exercises. Before long, we are working out for a few years and not once have we assessed ourselves.
Why Should You Do An Assessment?
Running a fitness assessment is way more important then it seems. A great example is you wouldn't want a surgeon to cut you open without first taking imaging and seeing what is wrong.
Doing an assessment will help show you all of your strength and weaknesses. Maybe your knees cave in when you squat, maybe your never realized that you need to work more muscle endurance. Ignoring this issues can lead to way more issues then working out can solve. You will be surprised, how much damage you can do to your body by squatting wrong, from something as simple as your knees coming in.
How To Run An Assessment?
There are so many different types of assessments you can do, from plank tests to cardiovascular test. So pick a few based up what your goals are.
Regardless of your goals, everyone should be doing an Overhead Squat Assessment.
The Overhead Squat Assessment is a quick way to figure out some basic under and overactive muscles.
Underactive muscles are ones that need to be worked more, while overactive need to be stretched more.
If we go with the knock-knock knees when you are squatting, this can tell us that your adductors and TFL are tight and need to be stretch. While your glutes are super weak, so we should be focusing on glute bridges and some lateral abductor exercises.
Re-assessments can also help use figure out if what we are doing is working. Wouldn't it be great if we could track the way we move and make sure we are doing the most with our time.

You have to start somewhere.
Whether it be at the age of 16 or 70, everybody can benefit from working out.
We have Cody Kelly on the show as he talks about things he wish he knew about working out.
When your younger, it is all about working your biceps, running on a treadmill, or just playing basketball. We fail to realize the importance of working our full body or even hitting weights in general. That moment we do decide to really commit to the weights, we listen to our friends that really don't know what they are doing.
Safety is a big topic and injuries are common among beginners. This is why it is important to really have someone teach you that actually knows how to properly work out. Coaches and trainers have to be knowledgeable in this area and even a few sessions can go a long way.
Benefits of working your full body, can also go a long way. For men, we tend to just hit our upper body. But you can't build a house without a good foundation.
For women, it is the opposite, they either just hit legs or just run. Women need to focus on trying to build muscle, which is what ultimately helps you lose weight.
Having a well-rounded exercise routine can help make your time working out more productive and really bring big results!

Wondering how to better manage menopause and not deal with all those nagging side effects, well in this episode Beth is going to walk us through how!
How it began:
Beth found herself suffering from colitis and figured out a way to work with her doctor on finding a natural approach to help alleviate her symptoms. They did this through food journaling and she even got herself into remission.
In her success, she went on to becoming a trainer and even getting her own gym open. She did this all at the age of 51. And right in the middle on this, she was having all the fun menopause symptoms from weight gain to hot flashes.
So she wondered, if she food journaled, could she figure out her trigger foods for her menopause symptoms. Her answer, was yes!
She put together tons and tons of journals, and was able to figure out how to give herself a hot flash.
With this new knowledge, Beth wanted to help spread her methodology to other women to show them that they can be symptom free too.

We are talking about one of my favorite macronutrients and that is Protein, Protein, Protein!
Protein is the building block of muscle and muscle is the key to weight loss, so in my eyes it is the most important!
Why is Protein Important?
Protein is an important part of a healthy diet. Proteins are made up of chemical 'building blocks' called amino acids. Your body uses amino acids to build and repair muscles and bones and to make hormones and enzymes. They can also be used as an energy source.
How Much Protein Should You Have?
The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) is .8g per KG of body weight.
Unfortunately this is outdated and new research has this number at 1.2 - 1.8 for sedentary adults and as high as 2.7 for athletes!
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16779921/ Article on protein intake
Why do athletes need more?
Athletes need more because they are burning more.
The main belief behind the large quantities of dietary protein consumption in resistance-trained athletes is that it is needed to generate more muscle protein. Athletes may require protein for more than just alleviation of the risk for deficiency, inherent in the dietary guidelines, but also to aid in an elevated level of functioning and possibly adaptation to the exercise stimulus. It does appear, however, that there is a good rationale for recommending to athletes protein intakes that are higher than the RDA. Our consensus opinion is that leucine, and possibly the other branched-chain amino acids, occupy a position of prominence in stimulating muscle protein synthesis; that protein intakes in the range of 1.3-1.8 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) consumed as 3-4 isonitrogenous meals will maximize muscle protein synthesis. These recommendations may also be dependent on training status: experienced athletes would require less, while more protein should be consumed during periods of high frequency/intensity training. Elevated protein consumption, as high as 1.8-2.0 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) depending on the caloric deficit, may be advantageous in preventing lean mass losses during periods of energy restriction to promote fat loss.
Phillips SM, Van Loon LJ. Dietary protein for athletes: from requirements to optimum adaptation. J Sports Sci. 2011;29 Suppl 1:S29-38. doi: 10.1080/02640414.2011.619204. PMID: 22150425.
What are amino acids? What is an essential amino acid?
Your body needs 20 different amino acids to grow and function properly. Though all 20 of these are important for your health, only nine amino acids are classified as essential: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/essential-amino-acids#definition
Sources of a complete protein are all animal products such as: fish, beef, chicken, dairy and eggs.
Incomplete proteins can be combined together to form a complete protein:
-Rice & Beans
-Spinach & Sunflower Seeds
-Pita Chips & Humus
Protein Pacing is a concept I use to make sure that I am constantly satiated and get enough protein in my day. The idea is constantly be eating small amounts of protein to maximize the benefits and to curb my craving for sweets.

What can determination and focus do for someone who hung out with wrong crowd, ended up in prison, went through 3 divorces and had a path to nowhere?
A lot of people would say nothing...But they haven't met Tom Fabbri
Tom describes his younger years as a little reckless, which was getting him nowhere.
No college and hanging out with gangs will do that to a person, but could that same person accomplish all that he has done.
Toms life changed when he was cleaning floors of aviation bunkers which featured all the newest helicopters and planes. While cleaning he knew he wanted to fly a helicopter, but didn't know where to start so he asked the head guy and he basically laughed at him. But that didn't stop Tom, he did his due diligence to figure out how one day he can fly one.
Tom picked up another job to start paying for aviation school and worked as much as he could to pay his way. After years of hard work, he eventually accomplished his dream!
Great Story, right....well there is a lot more!
On top of flying, Tom had a passion for going to the gym. He wanted to see if a guy like him could ever win a bodybuilding competition! So he worked and worked and worked on building himself. With years of training, he eventually won Mr. Universe at the age of 53!
Well now what! His buddy was talking to him on day about climbing the highest peak in South America, and it intrigued Tom. "How hard can that be?" thought Tom because he knew he worked out hard.
He soon found out as he did his first summit on Mt. Rainer and boy was it tough!
This inspired Tom to climb all the 7 peaks in the world! Which he has now climbed 6 of them and is just waiting to climb Everest!
While, aviation is an amazing job, Tom wanted to go global, so he stumbled up an invention that could help him and others train more functionally as opposed to bodybuilding!
He calls it the Total Motion 360! Similar to a landmine, this awesome piece of equipment is getting ready to launch later this year!

Clarence Booth AKA Mr. St. Pete is a well known boxer, but do many truly know his story.
Clarence grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida in, what he described as the hood. Being around this rough neighborhood, he found himself constantly around situations that "were not good"
At the age of 18, something told him to get out of this community and go to college, but as he described it "it didn't work out that way"
Since the door the school closed, he bought himself a bus ticket home, but life had a different plan for him.
Two days before he was suppose to leave, he was getting into his car and his seat belt got stuck, making him look over his shoulder. And right there in front of him was a boxing gym. A building he ran passed almost everyday.
This ignited something into him that night, as he laid in bed with his eyes wide open. So he ran, in the early am, to the gym and was looking in the windows, when he heard a voice. That voice was an amateur boxer, someone he respected, telling him it was about time he showed up.
Clarence knew this was a calling from God and knew that this was it. So he ran home, ripped us his bus ticket and decided to stay.
From there, he lived in the gym. Not figuratively, but literally lived there. He slept in the boxing ring for 6 months, training upon every waking moment!
And 30 minutes before his 19 birthday, he started and won his very first fight!
14 years later, Clarence is now a professional boxer with a record of 18-4. He has 5 beautiful kids and a passion to help those that need it most.
All he wants out of life is to show others that there is hope, that there is a better way. All those kids growing up in his hometown, he wants them to realize that the streets aren't the way to go, but instead they have opportunities around them to pursue their dreams!
I have to say Clarence, is one of the nicest, down to earth and most passionate people I have ever met. His dream to open a youth center in his hometown is truly inspirational and I can only hope that he succeeds because we need more people in this world like him.

Meet Denny Chipollini!
30 Years ago Denny was living a life like every other person. He had a kid on the way and was trying to get ready for this new challenge.
One day on his way home, his car hydroplaned into a guard rail.
Without realizing it, he knew he was alive but, the shock didn't begin until he realized his left leg was severed from his body. The pain hit him like a ton of breaks and with the help of some bystanders, he was able to get to the hospital.
Doctors tried for months to help Denny keep his legs, but an everlasting infection, was trying to prevent that. He knew he didn't want to be hospitalized forever, so he gave doctors permission to amputate his leg so he can move on.
With the grim news, that walking again was never going to possible, Denny just said, "you'll see"
Fast forward a few years, Denny had finished three marathons and some triathlons!
A true achievement for his will not to give up!
But, darkness lurks in every corner.
phantompain is one of the most painful things that anyone can experience and with lack of knowledge about opioid addiction, Denny was hooked.
It wasn't until over 20 years later, that he realized what they were doing to him, from losing his teeth to having horrible bowels.
He had to quit, but he had to show his brain that it wasn't worth it, so he did it cold turkey.
This will to live and this understanding that he couldn't live on opioids forever is the true passion and purpose of Denny.
He only wishes that others take this passion and push through being uncomfortable because only then can you truly live.

Where did you start looking?
Juan spoke about how to navigate the online world and reach out to specific trainers that fit your personality.
Maybe you want tons of contact, maybe you want very little. The options are endless.
What are cookie cutter workouts?
These are workouts that someone "claims" worked for them and are usually very generic.
Do NOT follow these. They do not take into consideration who you are as a person or your limitations.
Instead spend a couple of extra bucks and find someone that will customize the workout for you.
We also talk about all things powerlifting.

Have you ever run an Ironman?
How about the Boston Marathon?
How about running a marathon while going through chemotherapy?
Well, Nancy has and not only has she done all of this, she did this and beat cancer!
Nancy grew up interested in sports and races, but never really considered running races until college. She grew to love it and coincidentally ran a triathlon because a teammate backed out.
After seeing that she could, she started training for an Ironman and was hooked
But sometimes, nature has a different calling. And after finding a lump in her abdomen, she soon discovered she had stage 4 lymphoma.
The news has tough to bear and she knew she couldn't give up running because of how good it made her feel.
So she ran and ran and ran, as she lost her hair and went through chemo.
She knew she could do more and stayed with her commitment to run the Boston Marathon while on chemo!
Not only did she complete it, she excelled!

Take a journey on this wild ride as we dive into the world of Mason Gravley.
Mason talks to us about how he got started becoming the host of his show Adventure Sports Podcast. Which all came about when one summer in college, he decided to bike from Alaska all the way back home to Florida. That is over 5000 miles on a road bike...
With absolutely no experience on how to change a tire, they embarked in the snow and rain. He said that he regrets none of it.
He loved it so much he decided that he would bike cross country 6 more times!!
This mind-blowing story had us talking about how people don't ever go after different things. We tend to stick to our mundane lives and push all that sense of adventure off for too long.
But, what if we didn't?
What if you just took your family cross country?
What if you took an opportunity to hike the mountains?
Would you experience life differently?
Would you learn how to handle stress better?
Yes, you would. Everything would see and feel live differently, enjoying all the things that life has to offer!

I wasn't expecting this episode to go this route, but it was totally worth it!
Meet Dr. Maks!
Immigrated from Russia at the age of 16 and quickly learned the culture shock of moving to America.
Throughout his life, he had to quickly learn how to fend for himself, from living with 14 people in a small house to trying to make ends meet. Things didn't come to easy for him.
He made some friends, went to school and got told no a bunch of times, but none of that stopped him. After meeting his co-founder, who just had surgery for cancer, they went on to see how exercise and lifestyle can help those recover through a complete care network.
This network was used to track what cancer patients did and how their physicians can prescribe better care.
With this newly developed app, they broadened their scope by stepping into ataraxia and opioid addiction.
They wanted to see if they can help those that have lost it all, achieve better lives through fitness.
I really dived into the opioid addiction section to see if there is anything we can learn about helping people seek better recovery. We've all heard stories of an addict becoming a runner, but does it hold validity in a study...well we shall soon know!

I'll start on the New Year!
You hear that a lot, but as you all know 64% of people don't accomplish their New Years Goals.
Why is that?
Why do we even bother?
Well have you ever tried a SMART goal? Not smart in the cognitive sense but, SMART as in goals.
S-Specific
M-Measurable
A-Attainable
R-Realistic
T-Timely
Have something that is achievable will not only make it happen, but smaller steps lead to bigger gains!
So instead of just trying to lose 50 lbs, why not start with just tracking what you eat? Or eating one less cookie!
Small Gains lead to BIGGER WINS!!

Welcome to our Christmas Week Episode!
Our guest today is Michael Tucci, the CEO & Founder of Energy Fitness. Mike founded Energy over 10 years ago with a vision and passion to help others. He wanted to help show people that fitness can be a go to for those that need to help boost their mental and spiritual energy.
Energy Fitness – Together We Transform
In this episode, while rocking a santa hat, we talk all about how being intentional in your morning habits can help set the tempo for the rest of the day.
Few realize how important daily habits and routines can help you prioritize and accomplish more. For example, Mike takes 30 minutes every morning to help get his mind right by praying or reading. This practice of gratitude helps him stress less and love more which ultimately helps him feel happier.
Religious or not, having some source of spirituality can help you overcome the toughest of stressors. Things such as shoveling your neighbors driveway, helping someone cross the street, or just saying hi to a stranger can not only have a positive impact on their lives but, also yours, This "selfish" act of giving to others, brightens your mood and can help brighten others.
"The Tide Rises For All Ships."- Rob Taormina
In short, it is important especially during #christmas to #helpothers and have a sense of #spiritualitiy whether is be #religous or not. Your #health is determined by more than just your #physicalfitness

Meet Mike Evans!
Marine turned Childhood Developer
We talk all about how his company Skillz of Patchogue Website works with and helps children learn essential skills.
With so many parents trying to learn in the ins-and-outs of parenting, Mike helps them by teaching kids key components of growing up from #discipline to #selfconfidence
He does this by combining his karate dojo into a place where kids can learn to express themselves through games and punching of random objects.
To some it might look like complete chaos, but everything they work is focused with a certain skill that the kids needs to work on. This helps teach the kids important life lessons starting from only 2 years of age!
In this episode, we talk about the challenges of #parenting and how parents can work with their kids from home. He explains different ways to think about how your kids respond to discipline and how to help teach your children by making it relative to their age.
If you are a parent, you don't want to miss this episode!

Workout in the AM...No the PM... No between 2:15pm and 2:45pm
Everyone seems to want to know the best time to maximize their workouts. Well, the good news is that we talk about all of this. The bad news, there really isn't one.
Bo and I both agree that any workout is better then no workout, so it really depends on what you can make a habit.
Working out in the AM, does tend to breed more consistency, but at night you can get that testorone boost!
We also dive into numerous topics with fasted cardio and fasted weight lifting.
Should you eat before a workout?

Throughout my school years, I was bullied pretty badly.
That bullying kept me thinking that the world was out to get me and all I ever wanted to do was just fit in.
Little did I know then, it was never about fitting in but, instead about standing out.
That bullying helped me get mentally tough and taught me some valuable lessons that I now take with me everywhere I go.
For example, the only person who can make you happy is you. This is so important for those struggling with depression to realize. It isn't about what is going on in the world or in your peer group but, what is going on inside. You need to dig deep to find your inner passion and show the world that you aren't ready to give in.
"it isn't about what the world can do for you, but what you can do for the world"
Everything I write and say, is true and comes from the heart. I hope that this someday will inspire someone else not to give up and keep pushing themselves to be the best version of themselves.

He loves his beer. I mean who doesn't like opening a nice can of beer after a long day of work.
Well, Chris's story changed when he decided that he was going to get in shape and do that by running. Running then became his passion and he soon realized that alcohol and 6am runs, don't really mix.
So he then discovered Athletic Brewing and other NA beer companies that he could enjoy while also working hard on his runs.

A new approach to fitness is getting some traction. That approach is getting those with mental disabilities on the road to living happier, healthier lives.
A lot of us understand that the importance on having their loved ones, set up with OT's, Therapists, Psychiatrists and Doctors but, few realize the importance on exercise.
Matthew Alexander is the PRIME example of how and why fitness is not only important but, crucial. He was diagnosed with Autism, ADHD and Anxiety and never really understood the value of fitness himself. He basically went through life trying to figure out how to cope with it, until his family got him to start taking spin classes.
He feel in love with it and almost immediately after started feeling happier. It took him a while but, he finally realized that those classes helped keep him on the right path towards a happier life.
Why is that the case? Because serotonin and dopamine get released immediately after exercise and it started to really get him more and more focused.
The issue, was that he quickly learned, the professionals in the field didn't really understand how to train people like him. No fault of their own, but they were never taught.
So Matthew, like most entrepreneurs, took this and ran with it. He started collecting data and wanted to form his own company where he can help educate the fitness world on how to work with people from all walks of life.
Matthew is a true inspiration to those that really want to make a difference in this world.
Here is an article he did

I took a more solemn tone to this one. I wanted it to reflect how we feel when we write diaries and journals.
Dear Diary,
Is about my personal story on how I use to be picked on a lot growing up. I never could get myself to blend into the crowd. I struggled with depression and I always blamed myself for not fitting in.
I did, however, realize that life isn't about blending in. I realized that by blending in, we actually stop growing into who we are suppose to be. So instead, it is important for us to stand out.
That realization has made me who I am today. I am a leader and not a follower

Almost nothing... Probably not the answer you were looking for.

This is a two part motivational speech that I put together into one story.
The World Is Burning is about the solemn tale of COVID and its impact the businesses everywhere. It shares my perspective about how this disease and political battle have both been destroying industries all around us. I have personally watches hundreds of gyms go out of business and it is that solemn reminder of what may come to me. It is that reminder that this fire is still burning our world to ash.
A Hero's Journey is the second part to this story. It is about how it is up to the few who can see light in this darkness. It shares a story about how it is important for even one individual to be a beacon of hope. Having someone push their way through the darkness, helps inspires others to do the same. We need to start taking blame for everything around us and only then can we rise above it all.

The fight I am referring to, is the one happening in my home state of NY. Our gyms have been forced closed with no opening in sight. We have been ignored, write off and have struggled to make ends meet. I need to make it clear that I will never give up on following my dream. I will never let anyone take it away from me.

Yes there is a difference!
Being interested is wanting to be successful and wanting to follow your dreams, but you let your excuses define who you are!
You would follow your dreams, but you can't. It doesn't matter what comes after the "but" because it is all the same.
Being committed is wanting to success and doing everything you can to follow your dreams. There is no "but" there is no "I can't" There is just "I Will"

Gyms closed in NY March 15th and have been left out of every single phased reopening. They are one of 3 industries left out to dry as everyday more and more gym owners file bankruptcy.

Why is the gym industry being ignored?

For many Fibromyalgia, is a disease that is not well-known.
For those that suffer from it, they know that it is a diagnosis by process of elimination. That means years of testing, years of confusion and countless suffering.
Amanda Love is one of those people. She got diagnosed about 10 years ago, as she tried to figure out why she couldn't seem to ever wake up and why she always felt weak.
It didn't end after a proper diagnosis, instead she was prescribed medicine that barely made her symptoms better and instead made them worse.
She knew this wasn't the be all end all. So she took it upon her self to find a new approach and stumbled across holistic nutrition. She learned how to eat better and in return started feeling a little better. Now she is on no medication and takes us through how others can do the same.

No music, no hype just truth
I lay it on hard and offer 10 tips to help make tomorrow better!
Here are 10 tips from truly successful people.
-
Love and work on yourself. The only person who can change you, is you! No one else will spend as much time and energy to get yourself going. It all starts with a positive mindset and conditioning your brain to take massive action
-
Get moving. start exercising. Nothing in the world will help make you more productive and energtic then an exercise routine. No matter if you need to lose weight or not, the benefits of exercising are worth every single second.
-
Eat better. Suffer from brain fog, cant seem to think straigtt, sick of the way you look. All that is determintal when it comes to being productive. Would you rather satisfy that short term benefit from sweets or the long term benefit that comes from eating better.
-
Get enough sleep but, don’t just lay in bed. Sleep is vital for an efficient and energized brain. Get that 8 hours, but do not hit that snooze button. Once that alarm goes off, get up and do something to get your mind right!
-
Mimic and learn from the best. You want to be the best, start acting like it. It wasn’t luck that got Edison or Einstein to make ever lasting discoveries. It was hard work and determination.
-
Read more. Bill Gates reads 50 books a year because they help expand and grow your mind.
-
Define your goals. Saying you want to be successful isn’t enough. Success looks different for every person. Define your goals to be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.
-
Write down your daily goals and tasks. How many times do you find yourself doing meaningless tasks? How many times do you get sucked into things that won’t better your tomorrow? Is it often? Then write them down! Write them down, make them visible, cross them off and when you complete them, start over with new ones.
-
Get your mind right. If you think you aren’t good enough, then guess what you wont be. If you think you will never make it, you wont make it. Positive, focused thinking leads to positive, focused behavior.
-
NO EXCUSES! I mean it. No ifs, no buts and only show action. Excuses are weak and pointless. Take responsibility for your life and do it.

It's our choice whether we see the good or bad.
Having the media dictate and control how we see things has blinded our judgement.

I decided for my 30th, I would do an episode that really spoke about my life and how things have changed in the last 30 years.
I was hoping that my story could be a reflection to others that there is more to life then what meets the eye.
Through constant bullying and a horrendous accident, I overcame those pitfalls, so in my eyes, everyone can

My first ever motivational speech!
Please take a listen and let me know what everyone thinks!
This one dives into a little bit of my backstory. I was bullied a lot growing up and it was taught me a lot. Which has taught me what it is like to be at rock bottom and how to get back up. I've learned a lot of tough lessons growing up but, I know now that anything is possible and I hope to spread that message to you!

In this episode we dive deep into what it is like to be on both sides of the spectrum. Being a nurse and a personal trainer, Sarah gets to see both sides.
Being a nurse, she gets to see what it is like for those people that don't take care of themselves and as a trainer she gets to really help dive deeper into why it is important to stay active and healthy
An interesting fact, is that most nurses are actually overweight and unhealthy. You would think being in the medical field, that it would be an eye opener for them but, just the opposite is true. So is it that they just are truly unaware on how to be healthy or is it the case that their jobs are just too stressful and demanding.
Nurse Obesity
We dive deep into this and it is truly worth the listen
