"We can control the things that we believe we can’t control. We just need to dig deep and find where we have that belief from and then transform it." - Karoline Fischer

While many may equate success with outward achievements such as professional accolades and financial prosperity, the reality is that our internal narratives—many rooted in childhood experiences—play a pivotal role in shaping our behaviors and actions. As we navigate the complexities of life, it becomes essential to recognize the profound impact of subconscious beliefs and traumas on our ability to manifest our best selves. With hypnotherapy emerging as a powerful tool to access and transform these deeply embedded patterns, we delve into its potential to unlock personal growth and empowerment.

Karoline takes us through a deep exploration of how trauma impacts behavior and may manifest as challenges in diet, discipline, and life choices, despite seemingly unrelated circumstances. Karoline discusses the concept of the "inner child" and the significance of understanding and resolving past traumas to release emotional blocks and move towards the highest version of oneself. The episode also brings to light the current mental health strategies, highlighting the importance of empowering individuals as opposed to fostering dependence on therapy.

In this Minisode, Sherry Shaban discusses food obsession, eating behavior, and the nervous system. The episode begins with Sherry's personal confrontation with her excessive concern over diet and nutritional choices, which evolved into a fear-driven preoccupation with food. This honest sharing of her own experiences serves to lay the groundwork for an engaging discussion on how our eating behaviors can become dysregulated.

Sherry identifies food obsession as a universal yet often misunderstood challenge, intimately tied to our autonomic nervous system's state. She explains that the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems play critical roles in our eating habits, often acting as the unseen force behind behaviors like binge eating. In the protection mode, our bodies may conserve energy and prompt survival responses, such as cravings for high-energy food, further complicating our dietary patterns.

The key takeaway from this conversation is the profound impact that chronic dieting and negative self-talk can have on perpetuating an unhealthy relationship with food. Sherry advocates for a shift from focusing on food control to understanding and nurturing the nervous system as a path toward healing and breaking the cycle of unwanted eating behaviors.

In this enlightening minisode, Sherry uncovers the psychology behind emotional eating and how it ties to our nervous system states.

Did you know that more than 60% of people struggle with binge eating, emotional eating, stress eating, boredom eating or other out of control eating behaviour? And did you know the way out is never through controlling the food? The way out is not another diet or meal plan. That’s actually what keeps us trapped longer! Our first step towards healing our relationship with food is to stop restricting and to release all the rules that we have around food. Next, we create awareness around the triggers, the linked thought patterns, and the emotions and traumas that trigger us to turn toward food as a coping mechanism. If this conversation is speaking to you today, I want to invite you to download my food freedom workbook completely free at makepeacewithfood.com to help you get started on your healing journey. And because I know from experience how lonely and frustrating this journey can be, then I want to expand on that invitation and invite you to schedule a free 30-minute food freedom coaching call with me as well. The link is in the workbook.

On this episode of FILWF, Kathryn Hansen, author of "Brain Over Binge," shares her personal journey of overcoming binge eating and how she helps others recover from this disordered eating behavior. We discuss the influence of diet culture, the role of the brain in binge eating, and the importance of changing our mindset and self-image to break free from self-sabotaging habits. Kathryn emphasizes the power of understanding the brain's reward system and urges listeners to believe in their ability to overcome binge eating.

In this episode, you will learn the strategies to overcome binge eating and regain control over your relationship with food. Discover how mindfulness and emotional regulation can help in achieving food freedom!

Often, we overlook the impact of our surroundings on our thoughts, behaviors, and habits. But are you aware of how they could be the game-changers in your life? Have you ever wondered how your environment influences your mindset? Psychologists affirm that our environment significantly impacts our mood, productivity, and overall mental health. Our surroundings reinforce certain behaviors while suppressing others, thereby shaping our actions and responses.

Omega-3 is a vital nutrient that is essential for our overall health and well-being. However, it is often challenging to obtain sufficient amounts of Omega-3 through our diets alone. This is where supplementation plays a crucial role.

Most Americans are already deficient in Omega-3 due to the lack of this nutrient in their diets.

Corinna Bellizzi, with her passion and dedication to Omega-3, has spent years in the field, advocating for its benefits and helping people understand its significance.

Corinna explains, "If you're not consuming fish three to four times a week, you're likely not getting enough Omega-3." This deficiency can manifest in various ways, such as dry skin, brain fog, attention and focus issues, and even sleep disturbances.

This episode is a comprehensive guide on the power of Omega-3 and its impact on our health. In this episode, we dive into the importance of Omega-3, the benefits it provides, and how it can address deficiencies in our diets. Join me as I speak with Corinna, an Omega-3 expert, and pro-planet health advocate, who shares her insights and expertise on this essential nutrient.

“You need to eat real food. You need to eat on a relative frequency that is good for your body.” - Corinna Bellizzi

Topics Covered:

00:00 - Introduction and background of Corinna as an Omega Three expert

01:52 - Corinna's superpower: curiosity and drive to help people

08:15 - Corinna's journey with Omega three and sustainability

14:14 - Symptoms of Omega three deficiency

19:40 - Importance of testing Omega three levels

21:58 - Overcoming the perception of expense in health investments

25:03 - Finding reliable sources of health information

27:16 - Essential supplements for overall health

32:52 - Practical tips for improving health without breaking the bank

35:21 - Where to find more information and Orlo Nutrition products

Key Takeaways:

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for health but are often lacking in our diets.
Algae-based Omega-3 supplements are a sustainable and bioavailable alternative to fish oil.
Omega-3s support heart health, brain health, and overall well-being.
Testing Omega-3 levels can help determine if supplementation is necessary.
A well-rounded supplement regimen should include a multivitamin, Omega-3s, and greens.

Welcome to the show! Today, we are going to deep dive into some common misconceptions and misunderstandings around what it means to be an intuitive eater and what it means to be comfortable at every size.

I am joined by Lisa Dahl, an intuitive eating and body image health coach, who has dedicated her life to helping others break free from the diet mentality and find true acceptance and well-being.

The diet industry has led us to believe that our self-worth is determined by the number on the scale. We have been conditioned to think that smaller bodies are better, happier, and healthier bodies. But this dangerous misconception has caused immense harm to our mental and physical well-being. Lisa points out that the scale is not a measure of our self-worth or our health. It is simply a tool that has been used to perpetuate the diet culture and keep us disconnected from our bodies.

In fact, she encourages her clients to consider getting rid of the scale altogether. She believes that as long as we are attached to that number, we will remain disconnected from our mind and body. Intuitive eating is about reconnecting with our body's natural hunger and fullness cues, and the scale only serves to disrupt that connection. It takes time to learn the language of our body and understand what it needs. It is a process of experimentation and self-discovery. But the rewards are immeasurable.

As we continue to spread awareness and challenge the diet culture, together we can create a future where body acceptance and intuitive eating are the norm.

So, let’s embark on this journey together, supporting and uplifting one another as we navigate the path to intuitive eating and acceptance at every size.

"Health at every size means you can be X pounds and still be in a healthy body." - Lisa Dahl

Topics Covered:

0:00:02 - Introduction to the conversation and the importance of intuitive eating

0:02:16 - Lisa's personal journey and why she became an intuitive eating coach

0:08:26 - The power of the scale and the importance of disconnecting from it

0:11:06 - The process of becoming an intuitive eater and the importance of self-compassion

0:19:25 - The root causes of using food as a coping mechanism

0:22:32 - Understanding the concept of health at every size

0:25:41 - The limitations of the BMI as a measure of health

0:30:19 - The importance of acceptance and curiosity in starting the intuitive eating journey

0:34:13 - Embracing imperfection and building self-efficacy

0:35:40 - Where to find more information and connect with Lisa

Key Takeaways:

Intuitive eating is a practice, not a diet, that involves listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues.
The number on the scale does not determine your self-worth or your health.
Food is the messenger of unmet needs, and emotional eating can be a sign of underlying issues that need to be addressed.
Health at every size means focusing on actions and behaviors that support well-being, rather than striving for a specific body size or weight.
Health is a multifaceted concept that includes physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.

Transformation often requires us to face and endure a certain level of discomfort. This is particularly true for athletes embarking on their fitness journey. Initially, our bodies are unaware of the discomfort we need to endure to adapt, and they will naturally prioritize our safety and comfort by making us do less to protect us.

However, by focusing on little incremental changes and committing to continuous improvement, even if it’s 1% better every time, we can go from 10 fits to 10 miles. Don’t turn to things that will alter your present moment to feel better. Instead, focus on your transformation, let go of the weight of past burdens, and nourish what brings us joy and fulfillment in your journey.

Join the conversation with Michael Harris as he shares his personal journey, including a near-death experience and a life-awakening moment that became his turning point. Michael is a multi-talented individual who excels at empowering others to achieve success. His journey with yoga began in 1987, and he started teaching in the early 90s. With a bestselling author title under his belt and expertise in personal and business transformation, Michael has helped thousands of individuals share their messages with the world and achieve their missions.

Everything we experience is preparation for the next thing.
What we put out is what we attract; receivership is through giving.

It’s easy to play the victim, but taking back your power gives you control over your own life and future. You are the sovereign king of your life and the only one responsible for your happiness and finding your personal fulfillment. It’s easy to get lost within the masses without knowing who you are, but going inside and exploring who you are will help unveil your authentic self and enable you to make choices that align with your true potential.

Finding what works for you, visualizing it and embracing it in the present moment creates an environment of abundance and manifestation. Whether your goal is weight loss, developing a fit physique, or attaining financial prosperity, attempting to force outcomes only leads to exhaustion and disappointment. Instead, by operating from a place of abundance and nurturing the feeling we want to experience now, we align ourselves with who we truly are and our aspirations for personal growth.

Join the conversation with Troy Ismir as he shares his journey of self-discovery, recounting his struggle with silent desperation and illuminating the path he ultimately found leading to purpose and fulfillment. Troy also delves into the topics of freedom, overcoming codependency, cultivating an abundance mindset, and finding contentment in life to give you tools to take back your inner power.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to rewrite your narrative and take back your inner power
How to move from quiet desperation to divine inspiration and into your path of purpose
How to identify codependency on your path, move past it and find your own happiness.
How to live in alignment with who you are and find joy, peace and happiness in the now
And much more!

"True power is an inner power, and it’s found within ourselves.” – Troy Ismir

Topics Covered:

00:38 – Troy's journey and how he got to what he does today

03:17 – How to take back your inner power

06:39 – How Troy took a leap of faith to the unknown to do what he loves

10:36 – Turning quiet desperation to divine inspiration

15:30 – What Troy went through with his divorce and how he found his path

22:48 – Codependency, how to identify it, move past it and find your happiness

28:10 – How to cultivate an abundance mindset and find contentment

32:27 – Cultivating that feeling now and stop to smell the roses in your journey

35:04 – Troy's final words of inspiration on taking a chance and leap of faith

35:38 – How to reach out and connect with Troy

Key Takeaways:

Playing the victim is easy, and we’re very good at it.
It’s easy not to change and to be stuck in the status quo.
Don’t do life on your own; we are not meant to do life on your own.
A coach helps you see your blind spots; it’s not something you can do on your own.

Harnessing your curiosity and intuition to optimize your health is all about being your own health detective. True health and wellness go beyond the markers we get during doctor visits and medical tests. It revolves around cultivating a harmonious and balanced relationship with our own bodies and with others and treating our bodies from a place of love, joy, and care. When we free ourselves from the pressure to conform to certain expectations or compare ourselves to others, we can truly nourish our bodies.

Our health and wellness extend to the emotions we carry and the experiences we have undergone. Our essence encompasses both physical and emotional well-being. However, when we become overly fixated on our physical appearance and adhere to rigid standards, our actions become transactional, driven solely by the desire for results. To truly understand ourselves, we must tap into self-awareness and explore our subconscious minds to reprogram our thoughts and transform our habits.

Join the conversation with Falyn Morningstar, a Functional health practitioner helping women improve metabolism, energy, and emotional connection, as she candidly shares her personal journey and the challenges she faced with body image, emotional eating, and burnout. Discover how she successfully rewired her mind and learn valuable insights into stimulating the vagus nerves to enhance overall well-being.

How to harness your curiosity and align it with your intuition to find solutions and uplevel your life
How to cultivate your self-awareness and rewire your brain to transform your relationship with food
How to hold space for your body to avoid burnout, emotional eating and protect your energy
How to stimulate your vagus nerves and improve your overall wellbeing
And much more!

"You have to be your own health detective and check in with yourself to uplevel your health.” – Falyn Morningstar

37:29 – How to reach out and connect with Falyn

Key Takeaways:

Underneath a lot of our physical symptoms lies emotional symptoms that can be labeled as emotional trauma.
Having tools to deal with emotional trauma in your toolbox allows some space for you to see that it’s not you but just a temporally thing trying to flow out.
Having awareness allows you to choose better, and it’s okay to choose something again.

Dealing with depression, anxiety, and other life issues can present significant challenges, but they are intimately connected to our identity. When we allow our bodies to tap into our true potential, we unleash the power of healing. By removing barriers, working on ourselves from within, and prioritizing our well-being, we can create the change that we want to see. When we prioritize self-care, our positive influence ripples outward, attracting those who align with who we truly are.

If you're striving to overcome addictive behaviors, anxiety, or depression, it's crucial to pay attention to what you consume. Our health plays a pivotal role in our well-being across physical, emotional, and mental spheres, and nutrition stands as the single most influential factor in achieving overall balance.

As mothers, we hold a central role in the lives of those around us. Our actions and well-being have a direct impact on the people we care for. When we find ourselves mentally or physically drained, it affects not only us but also those who rely on us, including our children. As moms, it is our responsibility to guide and teach by example. We must embody the behaviors and values we wish to instill in our children or want our spouses to cultivate.

In order to enhance our mental and physical well-being, we cannot neglect our own needs and bodies. We must prioritize ourselves and establish healthy boundaries. By recognizing when to step back and nurturing our well-being, we can cultivate a sense of self-love and fulfillment to preserve our energy and engage in activities we love.

In this episode, Sophie generously shares her personal experience with weight loss surgery. She opens up about the motivations behind her decision, its transformative effects on her as a mom, and the changes she has undergone. By shedding light on her journey, Sophie offers valuable insights into the process, emphasizing the importance of mindset and lifestyle modifications for long-term success.

Weight loss surgery often carries a negative stigma, but it can be a powerful tool for personal empowerment.

Our existence is far more than the sum of our physical activity and dietary choices; it encompasses the multitude of experiences and events that shape us throughout our lives. While weight loss and strict regimens often take center stage in our pursuit of wellness, the true challenge lies in addressing t he emotional barriers and self-limiting beliefs that hinder our progress. Punishing yourself through restrictive diets or exercise routines reflects a negative self-image and only reinforces and perpetuates detrimental self-beliefs.

We all have something to overcome. However, our fixation on victimhood often makes it difficult for us to lose weight. We have the power to create the life we desire, and it all starts with showing compassion toward ourselves. Embracing self-compassion allows us to break free from self-loathing and the limiting mindsets holding us back. Unfortunately, many of us shy away from embracing compassion because it doesn't fit within what our vision of masculinity looks like and our instinct to remain emotionally defensive.

If you have been struggling with weight loss for long, this episode is for you. Listen and learn from Jon's valuable insights to address underlying emotional eating issues and his inspiring journey of healing from emotional eating to compassion and shedding 100 pounds. Jon is the founder of Freedom Nutrition Coaching. His deep passion for behavioral psychology and brain-driven weight loss stems from his own experience of overcoming a harrowing attempted murder. After enduring numerous unsatisfying fad diets, he discovered the optimal nutrition approach, which enabled him to focus on the enjoyable aspects of a healthy lifestyle.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to heal from trauma and shift your perspective to look back at it with compassion
How to harness self-compassion and self-love from where you are to change your beliefs about yourself.
How to make peace with your biological reality and create the life that you desire
How to release baggage, identities, and labels that people have given to you and break free from victimhood
And much more!

“Compassion awareness is the foundation of transformational change.” – Jonathan McLernon.

Topics Covered:

00:44 – Jon’s backstory and the WHY behind what he does

02:15 – Jon's trauma that resulted in self-sabotaging behavior

05:14 – Jon’s perspective now looking back at his experience

07:23 – The impact Jon's trauma had on his wife and their vision of traveling the world

09:43 – What sparked Jon's drive to get into a place of compassion

15:53 – Jon’s healing journey and how he lost 100 pounds

18:58 – Addressing the emotional blocks first in order to lose weight

22:31 – Step-by-step process of addressing emotional eating behaviors

28:51 – How to move from victimhood and significance

32:05 – How to use compassion awareness to drive change and transformation

33:27 – How to reach out and connect with Jon

Key Takeaways

What we see isn't exactly what is factually in front of our eyes.
Punishing yourself through diet or exercise is a reflection of a negative self-image.
Creating the life that you want starts by making the choice
To create change, we must first be aware of where we are and acknowledge the uncomfortable truth.
Compassion allows us to see ourselves based on where we're at without judgment.

In a world filled with conflicting opinions about diet and exercise, finding what truly works for you can be challenging. So many of us are struggling with cravings, overeating, and exercise, and the tool we have, diet and exercise, are not working for us. The inner conflict in our brain between the healthy and unhealthy, the good and the bad, continues to dampen our outcomes.

When the survival-oriented part of our brain is programmed to see food as the solution, and our thinking brain recognizes it as a problem, we feel powerless and not in control of our eating habits. But do you know that you can actually break free from food addiction, regain control, and overcome your struggles with food?

Brain flip is the key to resolving the conflict between your sensory brain's view of food as a problem and your rational brain's understanding. By aligning both hemispheres of the brain, you can eliminate inner conflict and develop a healthier relationship with food. Reprogramming your brain enables you to establish patterns that align with the body and life you desire and creates a greater sense of empowerment.

During the conversation with David Zappasodi, we discuss how to reprogram the brain, interrupt behaviors, and break unwanted patterns to change our relationship with food and body image. David's unique perspective, combining academic knowledge with a spiritual approach, sets him apart in the realm of wellness.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to flip your brain, break free from food addictions, lose weight, and keep it off for good
How to change your relationship with food and build a new one that is in alignment with your body and the life you want to live
How to interrupt food patterns and behaviors by creating and using a pain tool
How to improve your awareness and be more intuitive to your body's signals
And much more!

“The more you can dive into your pain in the beginning, the more you can drive to your excitement in the end and transform your life.” – David Zappasodi

Topics Covered:

00:33 – David’s backstory and how he got into food and weight loss space

02:46 – Why David is more passionate about his work now than ever

07:11 – David's 10-year gap and how he was escaping from his pain

10:03 – What excites David about helping and working with people

13:42 – David’s three-brain flip process to reprogram the brain

19:53 – People's response to David's strategy “Stop exercising and eat that junk food.”

21:37 – How to interrupt food patterns by creating a pain tool

24:08 – Who brain reprogramming does not work for

25:51 – How David helps people overcome overeating behaviors

30:48 – How to be more intuitive with your body signals

39:10 – Reprogramming your relationship with exercise

35:40 – Different types of obesity and David’s struggles and breakthrough

39:02 – How to reach out and connect with David

Key Takeaways:

When we change our relationship with food, we feel more inspired.
If exercise feels heavy to a person, it leads to heaviness.
Keeping the food out of the house ensures that the addiction tool stays alive.
The ability to be sensitive is not determined by the size of your body but by the size of your focus.
The most metabolically active cells in the body are the neurons, and when the nervous system gets charged up by being excited, it charges up the metabolism.

When we constantly live in the past or future and compare ourselves to an idealized version of who we think we should be, we deprive ourselves of experiencing true joy because the magical things we are trying to achieve are not here. When we live in the past or chase after the future, we miss out on the present moment and fail to appreciate the blessings we currently possess.

Authentic joy can only be found when we embrace the present, accept our bodies as they are, and express gratitude for what they do for us. Instead of focusing on achieving an ideal weight or an impeccable level of fitness, we should identify the emotions we desire and start cultivating them in the present. Transforming our lives requires self-acceptance, and envisioning our transformation in the present can accelerate our results and bring fulfillment to our current reality.

In this inspiring conversation with Edward Miskie, he generously shares his journey through a rare cancer diagnosis and struggles with alcohol, body dysmorphia, and other challenges. He also discusses how these experiences inspired his book and how he emerged as a survivor and victor despite it all. Our discussion covers various topics, including self-comparison, living in the present with gratitude, the power of choice, and being kinder to ourselves.

Edward received a devastating diagnosis of Rare Enlarged B-Cell Burkitt's-like Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 25. Prior to his diagnosis and commencement of treatment, he was in a relationship, worked as an actor, and cherished a close-knit circle of friends. However, after completing his treatment, he had to start all over. Edward’s inspiring journey is one that you can’t miss!

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How comparing yourself with your past and chasing the future steals your joy and derails your outcome.
How to let go of attachments, find inner strength, and align our plans with what we want
How to cultivate a desired future in the present instead of pursuing external goals to live a more fulfilling life.

Be kinder to yourself and step into yourself.

Imagine waking up every morning with unwavering confidence that you are making all the right choices for yourself. Picture yourself in complete control of your fitness journey, feeling the satisfaction of seeing results each day. How would it feel to let go of guilt when plans change? How amazing would it be to no longer seek answers but instead realize that you are reaching your full potential every single day?

Often, we find ourselves adopting various nutrition, training, meditation, and mindset programs, yet our core identity and self-limiting beliefs remain unchanged. Unless we address and overcome these limitations, all the healthy practices we incorporate will yield little impact. We must shift our mindset and transform our limiting beliefs to truly see a change. Transformation is not confined to a fitness program. It begins when we release our limiting beliefs and embrace the power within us to create the life we desire. By believing in ourselves and trusting the process, we open doors to endless possibilities.

In this conversation with Michael Kurkowski, we explore intuitive training, breaking free from limiting beliefs, nurturing our autonomy, and reprogramming our thoughts to manifest our transformation. Michael is a strength trainer with over 14 years of experience and has worked with numerous individuals in kettlebell training, strength conditioning, athletics, and nutrition. He is fervent about simplifying the complexities of health and fitness to help people achieve their goals and take full control of their strength in life, no matter their obstacles.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Strategies that will help you elevate your fitness, foster consistency, and achieve your desired results.
How to be intuitive with your body needs and be flexible with your training to harness consistency.
How to reprogram your thoughts to transform your identity and solidify training using mastery.
How to enhance your autonomy and be self-sufficient and self-confident in manifesting your own transformation.
And much more!

“If you don't recover from a limiting identity, then it doesn't matter how much you discover. All the food and training you prescribe to yourself will not do anything for you if we don't change your limiting mindset.” – Michael Kurkowski

Topics Covered:

00:35 – About Michael and how he got into the health and fitness space

04:58 – Intuitive training and harnessing consistency

08:27 – Being flexible with your training without feeling like a failure

10:45 – How physical fitness can lead to injury and demoralization

13:30 – Programming thoughts with Michael’s four pillars of mastery

16:54 – Matching your thoughts with your actions and habits

19:15 – Why Michael‘s work of helping people is so important to him

22:03 – Breaking free from self-limiting patterns

26:05 – Embracing autonomy in creating your transformation

30:43 – Kettlebells and why they are Michael‘s favorite modalities

34:20 – How to connect with Michael and get his book

Key Takeaways

When you elevate yourself, watch out for sabotage self-talk that can bring you down; it is sneaky and powerful.
When we shed our limiting beliefs, we become completely different persons.
Transformation doesn't happen in a fitness program; it happens the moment we release our limiting beliefs.
Whatever it is that you can give to somebody and add some good value to their life, do it.

Are you tired of constantly feeling overwhelmed and driven by the need to get things done? In today's fast-paced and exhausting world, finding ways to combat burnout and unhealthy patterns and prioritize self-care is critical. In this week’s show, I talk with my friend Adam Hart, and we delve into these very topics.

This conversation with Adam highlights the importance of breathwork, tackling burnout, understanding the impact of stress on the brain, breaking negative patterns, manifesting abundance, and even addressing adrenaline or dopamine-based habits. Together, we explored strategies and insights to help you as an athlete break free from unhealthy patterns, reclaim your vitality, and create a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.

Our brain is a remarkable organ, but we have not been taught how to nourish it in modern society. It's a perpetual learner, constantly seeking energy and stimulation, and depending on how you engage with life, it quickly learns where to get its energy.

Adam is a transformational coach and the Founder of Clear Impact. Equipped with a degree in Sociology and accreditation from the Canadian Mental Health Association, Adam has been coaching people for over 15 years. As the Founder of Clear Impact since 2005, he specializes in helping individuals experience their transformation by breaking free from self-sabotaging behaviors, burnout, and unhealthy patterns while cultivating the mindset needed to fulfill their full potential.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to break negative and unhealthy patterns and reclaim your vitality in life
How to strengthen your vagus nerve to be coherent and make positive changes in your fitness path
How to overcome addiction, craft your emotions, and design your health transformation
How to manifest abundance without resistance and negative self-talk
And much more!

“Once you mastered the relationship between your nervous system and brain, you can look at nutrition, sleep, and fitness in a way that manifest what is right for you and have lifelong resilience around your own daily vitality.” – Adam Hart

Topics Covered:

00:32 – What inspired Adam to move from Toronto to BC Canada

04:22 – Adam’s burnout experience and how he overcame it

08:05 – How Adam got to a place where he started making positive changes

12:01 – Adam’s transformation and manifestation of his new energy

14:33 – Six-step road map on how to break negative cycles and patterns

19:34 – How to train your vagus nerve to be coherent

23:16 – Adam's experience and how he applied heart flow to reset

27:31 – How Adam helps people overcome addiction

30:33 – How you can manifest abundance without resistance

35:36 – Experiencing Life with more peace and calm

38:06– The anxiety and fear messaging from social media

39:47 – How to connect with Adam and learn more about his work

Key Takeaways:

The brain is a beautiful organ, but we have never been taught how to nourish it.
Adrenaline and dopamine are two dominant sources of energy the brain likes to use as its survival energy.
We are so good at being triggered and locked in what we don't want that we don't have enough time to focus our energy on what we want to feel.
Every thought you think and word you say has a vibration attached to it, and if you let your brain be the one that guides your life, you will know where you are because of your symptoms; your symptoms, whether mental or physical, do not lie.

We all go through stuckness at one point in life. Whether that is anxiety, difficulty with habits, relationship problems, or emotional dysregulation, everybody has something that they are dealing with, and this is being human. However, so often, we get stuck in time when an incident happens because our brain can't differentiate between something that happened and what is happening. Our brains are wired to hold onto past experiences and remind us of potential dangers to hold us accountable for always protecting us. This means that we can get stuck in a particular moment or event in the past, unable to move forward, which can hinder us from living in the moment.

Life is full of bumps, and you will always have them in your path no matter what, but once you master the skills for dealing with traumatic emotions, they will enable you to pivot and be grounded as you go through life. This starts by taking ownership of your emotions and behaviors, accepting them, practicing self-compassion, and empowering yourself to take the right step in your relationships, diet, or fitness. Taking ownership is the primary leverage that you need to make changes and transform your behaviors and habits.

In this episode of Fall in Love with Fitness, Dr. Michelle Maidenberg shares with me about her journey, her experience with emotional avoidance, and how she helps people get into a place of acceptance, compassion, and empowerment through mindfulness-based methodologies to get unstuck.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

What happens in emotional avoidance, how to get unstuck and live in the moment
Taking responsibility for your emotions and being accountable to yourself
Taking ownership and having autonomy and efficacy over our behaviors
Tools you can use when you're stuck in an emotional avoidance cycle to experience your transformation
And much more!

“It is the behavior that drives behavior when we're feeling positive about yourselves that when we're going to behave positively towards ourselves.” – Dr. Michelle Maidenberg

Topics Covered:

00:39 – What inspired Dr. Michelle to help people get unstuck

02:18 – Dr. Michelle's story and how it inspired her to do what she does

05:21 – What is emotional avoidance, and how to get unstuck

08:37 – How we hold onto pain to protect ourselves

11:10 – The adaptation phase and how we get triggered

14:16 – Codependent Vs. taking ownership

17:29 – Commitment and the willingness to be uncomfortable to grow

19:19 – Having a radical acceptance of our human imperfection

25:24 – Tools you can use when you're stuck in an emotional avoidance cycle

36:24 – How behavior drives the behavior

32:45 – Cultivating your awesomeness and awareness

31:33 – How to reach out and connect with Dr. Michelle

Key Takeaways:

Our brain can’t differentiate between something happening once and something happening 100 times, and that's why we get stuck in trauma.
Adaptation is a coping mechanism by which we survive, and it comes in different forms and shapes.
As an adult, it is your responsibility to be accountable to yourself, communicate effectively, and attune to somebody just like you want them to attune to you.
The discomfort is the growth; nothing comes easy.

Dieting and emotional eating often go hand in hand. Emotional eating is often a response to deep-rooted emotions such as trauma, stress, anxiety, or depression, while dieting is the most common approach used to combat emotional eating. When dealing with uncomfortable feelings, it can be difficult to sit with them. We often try to escape from them by self-medicating with food, exercise, shopping, or anything that gives us instant pleasure, which drifts us away from our fitness goals.

Fitness and health are not a simple equation of dieting, exercise, and food as we perceive. The true solution to achieving long-term health and wellness lies from within. Understanding your emotional triggers, how they shape your behavior, and working on your transformation is key to making lasting positive results. It is only when we take an honest look at ourselves and connect with our inner selves that we can truly make progress in achieving our goals.

In this episode of Fall in Love with Fitness, Errin Smith shares with me her journey, how her emotional eating and dieting created havoc in her body, and how she transformed her life. Learning how to work on our emotional triggers and build a healthy relationship with food without dieting and demonizing some food groups.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Dieting and how micronutrient deficiency can create havoc in the body
How demonizing a particular food group creates harm to our health
Gut health, how to optimize it, and develop a good relationship with food
How to go inside, work on your emotions, find your healing, and rewire yourself
And much more!

“If you show up for your life, life will show up for you.” – Errin Smith

Topics Covered:

00:43 – Errin’s backstory and how she got where she’s today

06:45 – What drew Errin into the fitness space

08:13 – When Errin's emotional eating started

11:31 – Errin’s out-of-control eating experience

14:56 – Errin’s intro into dieting after trying to gain her whole life

18:08 – Errin’s relationship and rules around food

21:07 – Gut health and how Errin's gut health started escalating

28:36 – How Errin was finally able to work on her emotions, eating and dieting

32:29 – How Errin’s day looks like now around exercise and nutrition

36:24 – What inspired the “What We Crave” movement

40:50 – Errin’s final words of inspiration

42:57 – How to reach out and connect with Errin

Key Takeaways:

Demonizing a particular food group or eating style harms our health.
When your gut health is off, everything is off.
Dieting and exercise are not the solutions to your weight problems.
Gratitude to your body is great; when you find gratitude, everything changes, and your body knows it.

You have a choice. You are all the architects of your own life, and the choices you make determine your destiny. Choosing the right habits, people, places, and things to surround yourself with is the way to create a life that reflects your desired goals and aligns with your higher self. However, if you don’t actively choose these elements in your life, then someone else will do it for you—and it may not be what we want.

Living a purposeful life is all about making the right choices. Making the right choices about what you want is all about being in alignment with the person you want to be and where you’re going in life. Whatever you choose to do and not to do affects your life. So many things that go wrong in life can be avoided by making better choices, whether that is in health, relationships, pursuits, or the people in our life. We manifest everything around us through our thoughts and decisions. If our thoughts are self-limiting, our choices will be self-deprecating and become our life.

In this episode of Fall in Love with Fitness, John Sacco shares with me his journey, the massive obstacles he faced, and how he rewired his entire life. He also expounds on how to make better choices that align with your highest self and drive you toward your transformation.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to take control of your life and be in the driver's seat of your life at all times.

How to cultivate your mental edge through delayed gratification, self-control, and consistency

How to think and make choices that are in alignment with your future and highest-self

How to redefine and reinvent your life and experience your transformation

And much more!

“If you don’t make choices, they will be made for you.” – John Sacco

Topics Covered:

00:59 – John’s story and how he got where he’s today

06:36 – Making choices that are in alignment with your higher self

10:18 – Delayed gratification and how it gives you a mental edge

15:12 – Uncluttering your life: Doing one thing how you do everything

17:14 – What inspired John to redefine and reinvent his life

21:17 – The urgency that moved John to his transformation path

24:49 – How to make your personal relationship a mastermind

32:13 – How to reach out and connect with John

Key Takeaways:

Consistency and time with all things in life will get you significant results.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
In life, we don't change; we grow, and part of that growth is addressing everything that makes us who we’re.
Your personal relationship with your partner is your first mastermind; it’s where decisions are first made.
If it is all about you, you’ll lose everything; focus on how you can serve others.
It is through giving that we receive.

Many of us are hiring coaches and investing in a lot of courses and self-development to help transform our lives, but never addressing past anchors that are keeping us where we are, which is where the work is always at. It’s only when we start working through our trauma and emotions do we begin to experience results in our health and fitness. Doing the inner work allows us to see fitness and health as part of who we are and not as a means to try to punish ourselves for wanting to look a certain way. Instead, it becomes our oxygen and way of life.

We don’t choose who our parents and siblings are, but understanding how fortunate you are to be born where you were born is the beginning of healing. Life happens for us and not to us, and understanding your experiences and doing the inner work is choosing not to be a victim. It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey. You can transform from a victim into a victor and regain your power. We are here for an experience, and your journey is an incredible school of learning.

In this episode of Fall in Love with Fitness, Susan Gold shares with me some deep truths that she has written in her book and the things she helps people overcome. We also talk about how our past experiences continue to show up for us and create the life we are currently experiencing, even when we’re in a place of massive change, and how we can transform our situation.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to move from a place where you feel like a victim to transformation
How to shift from a disempowering mindset and take your power back
How to get to a place of surrender and faith in your healing journey
And much more!

“We’re here for an experience.” – Susan Gold

Topics Covered:

03:33 – Susan’s story and what she does in her space

06:09 – When Susan started to be aware that something was wrong

07:56 – Susan’s siblings' experience with a toxic upbringing

09:35 – When and how Susan started sharing her story openly

10:54 – Transforming from a victim of circumstances to being in control

13:04 – Standing up and walking out of disempowering mindsets

14:06 – Susan’s worst experience from his childhood

18:53 – How Susan used her trauma to reclaim her power

21:27 – How to get to a place of surrender and faith

24:56 – Learning how to be vulnerable to enhance healing

27:30 – What Susan does in terms of sports and fitness

30:28 – Susan struggles with addictions and how she overcame

34:25 – Susan's final words of inspiration

35:09 – How to reach out and connect with Susan

Key Takeaways:

Everything we are searching for is already within us.
You have a choice; you can choose to be whoever you want and to give any meaning to a situation.
When you surrender to your humanity, you start living fully.

Achieving your fitness goals is not about pain to gain. It’s all about building consistent habits and showing up every day. You don’t need to push yourself too hard to get the results. Focus on what your body feels, not the exterior physical looks. Health and fitness are a part of who you’re, and you can't get the results you want if you punish and hate yourself through it and don’t allow yourself to be curious and experiment with the things you enjoy.

Reclaiming your health is much easier when you stop putting pressure on yourself and start enjoying your fitness journey. Identify what you enjoy and stick to it until it’s a habit. Once it’s a habit, it’s easier to do the not do. Don’t overestimate what you need to do to achieve the results you want, and don’t underestimate what little and consistent habits can do for you. Consistency is what drives results, but there has to be a desire. If you are not enjoying, there is no desire, and where there is no desire, there is no consistency.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Erik Cain shares with me his journey of transformation after struggling with dieting for a very long time. He explains how food became neutral emotionally to him and how you can have a Why that resonates with you to build healthy and consistent habits, enjoy your fitness journey and find your transformation.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to shift your mindset and find consistency in your fitness journey
How to build consistent habits with the flexibility to get your transformation
How to drive your how with your Why in health and fitness
How to step into a place of gratitude with your body, craving, and functions
And much more!

“It’s your Why that is going to drive the how” – Erik Cain

Topics Covered:

00:59 – About Eric's transformation journey

07:01 – Health and fitness are about how we feel, not how we look

09:01 – How consistency drives result and transformation

10:10 – Taking away the emotional side of getting in shape

14:03 – Eric's relationship with food before his transformation Vs. now

17:36 – Stepping into a place of gratitude to find our transformation

21:12 – Listening to your body and focusing on what it needs

27:58 – Shifting your mindset and looking at food as fueling

28:42 – How Eric's typical day looks like around self-care

35:52 – Eric's final words of inspiration

36:40 – How to reach out and connect with Eric

Key Takeaways:

Consistency is what drives results, but if there is no desire, there is no consistency.
Rearrange your eating schedule to fit your life rather than rearranging your life to fit your eating.
Intermittent fasting is a game changer.
We‘ve cravings because we‘ve conditioned our bodies to have the cravings.
Recovery is just as important as any of the workouts you do; give yourself enough time, sleep, and nutrients to recover.
Less is always more
Transformation only comes from a place of love

As humans, we’re constantly getting played by negativity, whether that is the society, economy, interactions, or everyday experiences. To stay ahead of the game, we must constantly be aware, have strategies to block out interference, and choose empowering thoughts. Choosing empowering thoughts protects your energy and will help you set boundaries and perform at a deeper level in your fitness, business, relationships, or career.

Although it’s backed by science that most of the thoughts we think of in the course of the day are often negative, thoughts are not facts. They can be shifted and changed to attract a different energy vibration. If you're feeling unworthy, finding a more empowering second thought will allow you to create an environment, belief, frequency, and mindset that supports your positivity and transformation. Always choose the people, places, and things that get in your orbit intentionally to protect your energy, impact the world around you, and stay in your frequency.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Craig Siegel shares with me his journey of reinventing himself and how completing multiple marathons in a year changed his perspective. He also expounds on how you can reinvent yourself, overcome fear and limiting beliefs, and step into your purpose today.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to rediscover and reinvent your life.
The power of the second thought In creating a new belief and mindset.
Excitement energy; how to manage your energy and show up consistently.
How to operate on your standards and get going even when you don’t feel like
And much more!

“Reinvention is applicable for anybody in any season, and it’s ready when you’re ready” – Craig Siegel

Topics Covered:

00:42 – About Craig and his journey to self-discovery

03:59 – Two strategies that enabled Craig to reinvent his life

07:10 – How to manage and protect your energy to keep it high

09:56 – Mindset diet; working on your mental fitness

11:43 – Craig’s strategy of remodeling and reinventing himself

13:55 – Being intentional, strategic, and proactive in setting boundaries

14:42 – What inspired Craig to sign up for the marathons

18:03 – How Craig balances his energy with so much going on

20:16 – Developing your confidence and curving it in everything you do

22:21 – How Craig's typical day looks like

23:43 – Craig’s final words of inspiration

Key Takeaways:

Making money does not equate to success.
The biggest growth is on the other side of the pain.
Working on your mental fitness is non-negotiable.
If it was easy, everybody would do it.
If you have been good somewhere, you can be great somewhere else.
When you feel depleted, it’s because you are burned out and not in alignment.
Reinvention is ready when you are.

Burnout is becoming a positive thing in our environment where we’re always on the go. We are always congratulated for working hard, waking up early, working late than we’re supposed to, and leaving no room for ourselves. No one is immune to burnout. Everybody can experience it. It doesn't matter how proactive, energetic, or determined you feel. If you are not looking out for yourself and showing yourself some self-love, you will soon start to feel drained.

Sometimes we get caught up in our work, clients' success, and other things that need to happen in life that we forget ourselves. When we’re not taking care of ourselves, we are not being true to ourselves or honoring our needs because we don’t have loving boundaries, which creates illnesses and burnout. Burnout is just a symptom of losing and abandoning yourself. Learning to show yourself some love and care for yourself is your best path to overcoming burnout.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Julie Hutsell Starling shares with me her journey and experience with burnout. She also expounds on burnout, self-love in stepping out of burnout, and how we can overcome it to enjoy doing what we are passionate about.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to reclaim and refine yourself on your path to success.
How to leverage self-care to give out a full cup without feeling selfish
How to create a space for yourself and step out of burnout
How to overcome burnout through self-love and alignment with who you are
And much more!

“Burnout is a symptom of losing and abandoning yourself” – Julie Hutsell Starling

Topics Covered:

01:51 – About Julie and how she got into the burnout space

03:26 – Julie's realization and her journey to reclaim herself

06:23 – Burnout and the deviation from our authentic self

10:56 – Learning how to conserve our energy in the longterm

13:24 – Aligning with your true self to give out from a full cup

16:13 – Selfcare Vs. self-love in healing burnout

18:08 – How Julie shifted and made everything work for herself

23:42 – Steps on how to come out of burnout and align with your path

27:13 – Stop managing burnout symptoms and go for healing

27:51 – Julie’s final words of inspiration

28: – How to reach out and connect with Julie

Key Takeaways:

Overcoming burnout is not about working less but aligning with your true calling.
Self-care is not being selfish; it’s being true to yourself.
Self-care it's not what heals burnout; self-love does.
When you are true to yourself, everyone around you benefits too.

We live in a world where pleasure and pain are constantly at odds. For many of us, trying to find the balance between these two extremes can be difficult, leading to unhealthy habits like binge eating, drug abuse, or out-of-control eating. The quest for pleasure and avoidance of pain may have us neglecting our own physical and emotional well-being. But what if we could design a world where we can thrive from within, even during pain?

The pain may not go away as fast as you want, but telling yourself a new story will allow you to build your faith and get back up. Sometimes your capacity might shrink for a while, and it’s okay to put a pause, but you have to pick yourself up to continue living. Don’t allow pain to cripple or steal from your future. Tell it where to go, turn it into a purpose and change your life. Pain takes time to heal, but it gets easier when you focus on shifting your pain into a purpose. Finding your purpose is the answer to your pain.

For decades, we have been conditioned to take stretching as a critical part of yoga. But what if stretching is the main culprit to our pain? Do you ever notice that even when we’ve stretched the pain out as we are often told, it always seems to come back. And stretching is often recommended as a way to relieve muscle and joint tension. However, it might not be doing your body the justice it needs. Stretching has been shown to increase the risk of injuries, specifically those involving the hip or lower back.

Today we are debunking that myth and learning that all that stretching is actually hurting us! When we stretch, we are actually turning off that muscle, deactivating it and setting it up for vulnerability through a neuromuscular relaxation reflex. Instead, using the principles of AYAMA (applied yoga anatomy and muscle activation) we will respect the muscles neurologic protective mechanism, create strength and stability, and eliminate chronic pain to live a pain free life!

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Yogi Aaron shares with me how we can live pain-free purposeful lives and heal from our pain without stretching. He also expounds on how to use Ayama to promote better muscle function, more stability, and less pain.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

The evolution of yoga and how we got to stretching
How to use Ayama to activate your muscles, get more stability and less pain
What to consider when looking for a teacher to reduce yoga injuries
How to cultivate the inner knowing and the direct experience of oneness
And much more!

“Stretching against your pain creates more stress and trauma in your body” – Yogi Aaron

Topics Covered:

01:17 – About Aaron’s podcast, ‘Stop Stretching Podcast.’

03:26 – When stretching became a vital component of health and fitness

06:27 –People’s response to “no more stretching in fitness.”

09:17 – How to live pain-free so that we can live our purpose

12:39 – Ayama technique and how you can use it to activate your muscles

14:27 – The language of the body and how to effectively listen to it

16:08 – Aaron’s advice on what to look for in a yoga teacher

19:20 – The dark side of yoga

23:40 – Don’t hold expectations; you’re responsible for your transformation

29:56 – Aaron's advice to anyone in a career that requires flexibility

33:13 – Aaron’s final words of inspiration

34:14 – How to reach out and connect with Aaron

Key Takeaways

When we stretch our pain out, it will always come back.
The greatest loss in humanity is a person who doesn’t know their purpose.
Stretching against your pain creates more stress and trauma in your body.
It’s not a yoga teacher's job to fill expectations for students; their role is to guide them in yoga.
A real range of motion is when you’ve both movement and stability in a joint.

We all have something we put away for later, thinking it will be saved for the perfect moment. Whether that is our fitness training, using our best candles, or changing our lifestyle. So often, we hold ourselves back, thinking later will be better, and we don’t embrace everything available to us today and the abundance in our life. Allowing the ‘I’m not enough,’ I’m not good enough,’ or ‘I don’t have enough’ scarcity mindsets to set benchmarks for us on when we qualify to use some things we have in our life makes us unworthy.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Gillian Dunn shares with me what inspired her TEDx Talks to share her message on abundance with the world. She also expands on how to cultivate an abundance mindset and give yourself permission to use and enjoy the best things you have. Remember Athlete, you’re worthy of having nice things and using those nice things.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset
How to use your stuff to feel worthy, live in the moment, and enjoy it
How to activate and cultivate your worthiness and abundance flow
How to overcome barriers and build your muscle of ‘using your best items.’
And much more!

“If things are not being used, they are not fulfilling their purpose” – Gillian Dunn

Topics Covered:

01:54 – Gillian’s TED talks and what inspired him to share with the world

06:09 – The two drivers of the scarcity mindset “I can’t use it.”

10:20 –How to use your stuff to feel worthy and live in the moment

15:30 – The happiness and fulfillment equation

13:11 – The abundance and worthiness flow

16:45 – How an abundance diet mindset reflects in our life

19:31 – Where to start to build your muscle of ‘using the best things.’

26:14 – How long you should hold on to something before you use it

29:04 – Clearing space to allow you to embrace what you have

29:39 – How to reach out and connect with Gillian

30:52 – Gillian’s final words of inspiration

Key Takeaways

Waiting for a perfect day will make you miss opportunities.
Live in the moment and make the now better.
Using your best things sends a message of worth to you.
We convince ourselves that we can have nice things, and now we need to convince ourselves that we can use nice things.
If things are not being used, they are not fulfilling their purpose, and it’s okay to let things go.

Did you know up to 85% of doctor's visits can be traced to low magnesium? In modern society, the demands are so high for us. We have gone from working 8 hours a day to being plugged into our work throughout, which gets us stuck in sympathetic mode. Even in this stressful mode, society congratulates us for working hard, working on the weekend, sleeping less, and being such badass. We’re encouraged to work harder, have more coffee, be on the computer a little bit longer, be in a sympathetic state, and have no time to rest and digest.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Natalie Jurado shares how her struggles with insomnia and anxiety lit the fire in her to get a cure that led her to magnesium. She also expounds on the importance of magnesium and how we can create a routine that allows us to consume sufficient magnesium and experience the benefits.

“Define what normal is for you, don’t accept somebody’s else normal for you.” Natalie Jurado

Topics Covered:

00:33 – What inspired Natalie to get into magnesium space

03:53 – Differentiating mineral deficiency from psychological issues

05:57 – The role of magnesium in relieving stress

06:54 – Self-care; making time for things that fuel you

07:56 – Magnesium deficiency symptoms

09:20 – Natalie's greatest takeaway from her experience

10:10 – How to load sufficient magnesium into your diet

12:14 – The best magnesium supplements to look out for

15:42 – Why Natalie is so passionate about magnesium topics

18:31 – Where Natalie shares her passion and a bit about her book

20:12 – Natalie's recommendations on how to create more balance

21:07 – Natalie’s magnesium routine and its impact

23:28 – How to gauge the right dosage for magnesium

24:39 – How to connect with Natalie and get her book

Key Takeaways

Magnesium has an inverse relationship with stress.
Self-care is more than getting your nails done; it’s creating time for things that fuel you.
It takes 54 molecules of magnesium to balance one sugar molecule, so the more sugar you eat, the more you deplete magnesium.
It’s very difficult to overdose on magnesium; it’s a relatively safe mineral.

When it comes to injury, as athletes, sometimes we take our prognosis as our reality, which robs us of our identity. We can overcome injury and disease. We just need to change our mindset. Whatever we believe, we become. Our beliefs create our thoughts, which are the programs our body follows and aligns with. When we accept what the doctors or society says, it takes our power away.

When we accept our diagnosis as reality, we tell your brain to stop looking for answers. The body is meant to regenerate and wants to restore and take our power back. All we need is to provide what it needs to get back to health. We can internally decide the direction of the life we want to move. We don’t have to live with a victim mentality because our prognosis report says we cannot. Every challenge and every obstacle is an opportunity to go inward and pull something different out of ourself.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Danielle Matthews shares how she overcame a traumatic brain injury, regained back her identity, and reconnected with her true self. She also expounds on how you can shift your inner world to change, attract what you want, and create your own reality. Don’t be a victim of external circumstances.

“Life is therapy, and it’s constantly trying to teach us more, but we resist it by asking the wrong questions and acting as victims to the external world.”Danielle Matthews.

Topics Covered:

00:34 – How Danielle overcame a traumatic brain injury

08:13 – How Dannielle got in touch with her true self through meditation

10:38 – Danielle's prognosis before she found meditation

14:20 – Changing your mindset and regaining your power back

18:04 – Disconnecting who you are from your current state

20:08 – How to shift your inner state through gratitude.

25:38 – The ego mind and how to leverage it for success

28:50 – Letting go of emotional experience without judgement

31:17 – How to reach out to Danielle and get her book, Mind Control

Key Takeaways

When you accept your diagnosis as your reality, it takes away your power, and you stop looking for answers.
Your internal response to your external circumstances creates your reality.
Every obstacle is an opportunity to go within and pull something different out of yourself.
Once you master your mind and get your inner world set, you can attract anything you want.
Emotions are part of the human experience, and your job is to allow them to pass through.

When you are truly doing something from a place of love, you get into a state of inspiration and can tap into the essence of who you are. However, many athletes get burned out competing with others and trying to be on top of the game. Whether you are trying to get that perfect shape, abs, or flow, comparing where you are at with others can lead to unfulfillment from the very thing you love. We fall into burnout and unfulfillment because we’re not being authentic to ourselves and what we want to create. However, doing the inner work allows you to see the traps on our path to transformation.

Doing what others are doing, comparing yourself with them, and beating yourself up will slow you down. Looking behind and competing with others will not make you fulfilled or successful. Success comes from a place of alignment, attraction, and being open to receiving it. Don’t allow limiting beliefs on what you think you don’t have and can’t do to block your way to transformation. Understanding what you want to become and aligning your mind will help you manifest. You have everything you need to be successful. You don’t need to add anything new. All you need is to shift your focus and retrain your mind.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Victor Manzo shares his journey and how he became a great influence after overcoming burning out and unfulfillment and tapping into his authentic self. He also expounds more on burnout, alignment, authenticity, comparison, and limiting beliefs and how they play out in our path to transformation and success. Learn how to excel in your fitness journey.

“How you see something in your mind is how it is going to be; if you can’t see it, you’re not going to experience it”Victor Manzo

Topics Covered:

00:39 – How Victor became the influence he is today

05:17 – Burnout and how to authentically align with who you are

11:02 – The feeling element and soul alignment

13:40 – Comparison and how to get the mind to center back

16:59 – Reprograming the subconscious mind

22:48 – How to work with your mind and overcome resistance

28:08 – Pleasurable Vs. Pain, how the brain learns

28:38 – AboutVictor's book: Decoding The Matrics

31:17 – Spiritual principle of Human potential and vision

34:59 – How to reach out to Victor and get his book

Key Takeaways

When you truly do what you love, you get into a state of inspiration.
We all have limiting beliefs in some ways, whether in health, finances, or relationships.
You can’t shift your mindset without giving it something new to focus on.
Whatever you can create in your mind, you can create in your life.
If you can’t see something in your mind, you can’t create it.

There is a massive generalization and many claims on what we should and shouldn’t eat when it comes to diet and fitness. But the truth is, eating is intuitive and based on what works for you as an individual. Intuitive eating is all about being aware of how good you feel and doesn’t feel when you eat certain food. This is, however, so difficult for many of us because we’re so used to feeling bloated, having headaches, and joint pain that we don’t recognize we feel terrible, but when we fix the problem, that is when we realize how good it feels to eat food that works for our body.

Experimenting with foods and listening to your body cues is the way to discover what works for you. Our cues are often found in bowel movement, digestion, and sleep, and anytime the body is giving us signals, there is massive change going on. Intuitive eating is key to tapping into a diet that works for you. What works for somebody else might not work for you. A healthy diet involves conscious decisions, not just going for something for comfort when we feel uncomfortable. Being in tune with our body allows us to reset and get in touch with discomfort and our real needs.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Andrea Nicholson shares her wake-up call and how she was able to fix her diet and work towards a healthy lifestyle. She also expounds on the importance of diversity in diet, fasting, intuitive eating, microbial gut population diversity, and shifting our diet as our bodies change to enhance our digestive function and feel lively, super focused, healthy, and energetic every time.

“Listen to yourself and always be your best advocate.” Andrea Nicholson

Topics Covered:

00:53 – Andrea’s journey and how she got into the nutrition space

02:16 – Andrea's early diet and her wake-up call

07:08 – How Andrea came to discover a diet that works for her

10:49 – Fixing the function of the digestive system

13:05 – Signs to look out for when shifting things in your nutrition

15:44 – Doing all the right things and still not getting the results! Hear from Andrea?

17:56 – Stepping out of your belief system and re-evaluating your diet

19:47 – What Andrea started changing in her nutrition to get the right results

24:11 – Fasting to reset and get in touch with your real needs

26:00 – Andrea’s typical day around nutrition right now

28:14 – Aspects of wellness that Andrea help address along with nutrition

30:23 – Listening to yourself and being your best advocate

31:12 – How to reach out and connect to Andrea

Key Takeaways

Diversity is key when it comes to the gut microbial population.
You need adequate proteins and fats to stimulate digestive enzymes.
There is a huge benefit in adding variety to the diet
If it’s not working, it might not be right for you
Fasting can be from anything that gives you comfort, not just food, fast to reset.
Food is fuel; it shouldn’t drive you; we’re not designed to eat all the time.

Are you working hard on your fitness but not accomplishing your goals? Do you feel you're falling behind and need to catch up every time? Being a leader of yourself is the key to creating a motivating climate that can help you stay on track with your fitness goal and find your fulfillment. Becoming a good leader and manager of yourself is all about planning, scheduling, time blocking, and time management, which are crucial in cultivating and tapping into your motivation.

On the other hand, finding your fulfillment is all about attaching your goals as an athlete to something outside yourself. Fulfillment is key to growth and contribution. However, many athletes operate in a scarcity-driven mindset, making fulfillment a never-ending road. Understanding your needs and what drives and motivates you will help you cultivate an abundance mindset, boost your motivation, and get to your fulfillment. Happiness and fulfillment come from appreciating your body for what it’s and what it helps you achieve and enjoying the moment.

In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Ken Eslick shares with me what inspired him into the personal development world and work with Tony Robbins. He also shares wisdom on how to cultivate an abundance mindset to attain fulfillment, shift your identity, be a leader of yourself, and tap into your motivation in your fitness journey.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to cultivate an athlete abundance mindset and live a fulfilling life
How to tap into your motivation in your fitness journey
How to be a good leader and manager of your own fitness journey
How to shift to an athlete identity at any age
And much more!

“Being a good leader of ourselves is tied to planning, scheduling, time blocking and time management”– Ken Eslick

Dieting has been controversial for years, with many claiming that it's an effective way to achieve weight-loss goals. Unfortunately, the reality is that dieting often fails to deliver lasting results. It's a short-term fix that relies heavily on tracking calories and limiting certain foods but fails to address the underlying issues surrounding unhealthy dietary and lifestyle habits. Yes, dieting might give you fast and quick results, but the pounds come back very quickly when dieting is stopped.

Dieting doesn’t work, and it is time to move away from counting calories and instead focus on our identity, actions, and uniqueness. We are all unique in our own ways, and what works for someone else might not work for you. Finding what works for you and collecting habits that support you as a person will help shift your perspective and create a positive relationship with food. Stop focusing on the end product, focus on your action, and let go of the diet mindset. Dieting disrupts your eating patterns and throws your hormones, which regulate hunger, satiety, cravings, and fat metabolism, off.

In this episode, your host, Sherry, talks about the eco-social model of weight loss and how to turn your body into a fat-burning machine. You don’t need to diet, count your macro, or track your calories to burn fat. You just need to be intuitive to create an identity that keeps your body in a fat-burning mode.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

How to overcome limiting beliefs and find rituals that respect your body
How we punish ourselves through dieting and exercise.
Stepping into an athlete's being and identity.
Hormones and how you can control them to lose weight.
And much more!

“An athlete's identity is about the being; it’s not about the doing.”– Sherry Shaban

Topics Covered:

00:00 – Intro and what in for you in today’s show

01:54 – How Sherry overcame limiting beliefs and found what works

04:00 – The social and psychological aspects of the eco-social model

07:07 – Why dieting doesn’t work

12:16 – Hormones that regulate our metabolism

17:26 – Gut and foods: Choosing health to release body fats

20:24 – How to balance insulin and cortisol hormones

30:34 – Seven tips on how to turn your body into a fat-burning machine

35:08 – Ending the show

Key Takeaways

Whoever you spend time with, you will become; like attracts like.
Diets create restrictions and emotional attachment to food.
Our muscles are our fat-burning potential; the more muscles we have, the more calories we can burn at rest.
When we disrupt our eating patterns, we disrupt our hormones.
If you want to release body fats, you have to be healthy.
The body does not count calories; it counts nutrients, and it knows what is missing.
Focus on consistency Vs. Intensity; learn how to do 1% more every day.

There are so many components to health then what we put in our bodies. It’s not a tunnel vision around what we eat and how much we move. Our life is synergetic, and everything we experience, from the spirit, mind, emotions, and body, is a nutrient that impacts our health, and it can either be nourishing or detrimental.

As an athlete, your breath, relationships, environment, and self-perception are nutrients, and they determine your subjective human experience (SHE). Your SHE is who you are, and it is determined by what you have been told about yourself. Your YOU can limit you from achieving your fitness goal, and you have to discover your true identity to break through.

You’re here to become more, and creating your identity is key. It’s the foundation of what your life experiences will always be. You cannot transform your habits, character, lifestyle, or body with your old identity. It doesn’t matter how much you are investing in your transformation. You will always rebound if you are stuck in the “I can’t and I’m not” mentality.

On this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Dr. Mahdi shares with me what inspired him to naturopathic medicine, his journey of self-recovery and healing, and tools you can use to shift your identity, design your transformation, and experience lasting results.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Why wholistic and lasting transformation is not based on just diet and movement
How our unconscious programming impacts our health and fitness
How we create our blueprints or identity in life through our neuro experiences
How to shift your identity and integrate it into who you are at the subatomic level.
And much more!

Key Takeaways

Health is so much more than what we put in our bodies.
There are only three principles that govern the body, receiving, creating, and eliminating, and when they are imbalanced, you will experience disease.
Your I has been determined by your YOU, your identity, and how you see yourself, as I have been determined by what you’ve been told about you.
Life is a fascinating journey of experiences full of rich opportunities, and it just requires you to be present and diligent in your becoming.
You are perfect in your becoming, so there is no need for judgment.

Happy new year Athletes!

What a start to the year it has been for me!

I had set so many exciting things to kick off in 2023 and instead, my body gave up on me.

I’ve spent all of December extremely ill, after a Tony Robbins event, and I’m still not anywhere close to 100%.

Full disclosure, I actually recorded this episode while in the bath and uploaded it today to share with you what's been going on with me in hopes that it resonates with at least one person today and let you know that you are not alone!

It’s moments like these that make me realize how grateful I am for my health, my life and my body.

I have discovered too that a little bit of movement every day has helped me so much with my mindset. Especially doing something outside in nature. I’ve been walking almost daily and doing small workouts like I share on YouTube. And that has been a God send for my mental health.

Athlete, this is what consistency is all about it. It’s not the effort or intensity. It’s the commitment to nobody other than me that I honour my health and my mind, every single day.

So maybe this will resonate with you as well today. It’s not about never falling down, it’s about getting back up!

So proud of you ALL of the Athletes that participated in the 28 Day YouTube Challenge!

Remember, Athlete, if you rate and review Fall in Love with Fitness on iTunes and send a screenshot to sherry@sherryshaban.com I will gift you access to my 6 Week Transformation program to help you get back your energy and set new habits that will help you transform your body and mind!

In this week's episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness Podcast, I interview fitness & nutrition expert, entrepreneur, and IFBB Pro bodybuilder: Jeff Later

Jeff discovered a passion for health and fitness from a young age, determined to figure it out on his own by reading books, researching articles, and watching videos, but doing it alone made him feel like he was trying to summit the highest mountain.

Ditch The Diet Drama and Achieve Your Goals with Lia Pinelli

In this week's episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness Podcast, I interview health and life coach: Lia Pinelli

Lia spent her whole life struggling with overeating and getting her weight under control. No matter how many books she read, diets she tried, or mindful eating methods she subscribed to, she couldn’t resolve her struggle with food and weight.

“Trust me, I tried it all,” she said. She ate smaller portions, eliminated carbs, and reduced her fat intake, but she always felt deprived and hungry. “I thought the problem was me.”

It wasn’t until becoming a life coach in 2016 that Lia learned about coaching women to stop overeating by changing their mindset around food and approaching eating from a psychological aspect.

Not only did she stop overeating without using willpower or resistance, but she no longer experienced the over-hunger and cravings that had plagued her since childhood.

Lia is on a mission to teach other busy women how to ditch the diet drama and reach their goals once and for all.

Heal Your Hunger with Tricia Nelson

In this week's episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness Podcast, I interview internationally acclaimed author, transformational TEDx speaker, and Emotional Eating Expert: Tricia Nelson

Born and raised in Concord, Massachusetts, Tricia’s own struggles began early on in her childhood when she attempted to cope with life’s stresses and emotional pain by overeating and, as she grew older, other destructive behaviors, eventually leading to her gaining more than 50 pounds.

She spent years of experimentation with 12-step programs, therapy, and self-help books, but to no avail. Tricia finally hit a spiritual and emotional bottom.

It was only by creating a lifestyle steeped in positive self-care, self-love, and improved self-esteem that she was able to change her lifestyle and habits, and has maintained a fifty-pound weight loss for over 30 years now.

Today, Tricia has successfully helped thousands of people heal their relationship with food by spending the past three decades studying the addictive personality and sharing her findings in programs, workshops, and retreats online. Many doctors, psychologists, and other health practitioners benefit from her insight into what drives people to overeat and how to stop.

Today, Ann helps guide others to accept their feelings, overcome trauma, and experience true inner peace.

Do you know the difference between weight loss and fat loss?

Fat loss is when our bodies utilize the visceral and subcutaneous fat stored within them, also known as fat burning.

Weight loss is when you step on the scale and the number you see is less than it was yesterday. This could be caused by dehydration, a decrease in glycogen and water in the body, bowel movements, and even the loss of a limb.

My point is, when we set out with the goal of losing weight, we can be easily misled by the numbers shown on the scale, and easily discouraged when we regain all that weight.

To put this in perspective, the time I weighed the least was also the time my body was at its worst. The minute we shift our focus solely to fat loss, we realize that the number on the scale doesn’t matter so much.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, I take a deep dive into fat loss and the diet mindset during my Fat Loss 101 Masterclass. We talk about the difference between natural and refined foods, why men and women have different dietary needs, and why we shouldn’t demonize any type of food.

How strong are your mindset and willpower?

Right now we’re on day 3 of the 72 hour fast portion of my 21 Day Gut Health Reset Challenge, and many of you who are participating may be having a hard time keeping a positive mindset.

I’m here to tell you that this is normal, but remember, there is a difference between being uncomfortable and being unwell.

When we are uncomfortable, we give ourselves the most opportunities for growth.

It takes roughly 72 hours for our gut to heal, so these feelings of discomfort are not only short-lived, they are so small compared to the benefits we get - feeling energetic, healthy, healed, and in tune with our bodies.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, I take you through my 21 Day gut health reset challenge, how to stay focused and committed when going through the 72 hour fast, and whether or not you should consider intermittent fasting.

Do you ever feel that no matter how much you exercise or focus on "clean eating" your body just doesn't respond the way you'd like it to?

For the majority of 2020, I was suffering from massive gut issues. Some of it was due to stress, but the other greater cause was rapidly transitioning to an almost completely vegan diet about one year prior and reintroducing many foods that I had not eaten in many years.

You see, every time we "crash diet" or remove entire food groups from our diet as we do with keto and low carb diets, we risk killing off the bacteria responsible for breaking down our food.

Our gut microbiome is responsible for digestion, activating and regulating hormones, synthesizing vitamins, oxidizing fats and stored energy, and housing our immune system.

On the flip side, when we consume foods that don’t serve us, we fuel the bacteria that thrive on those foods, leading to more inflammation and eventually, health issues.

If you’re looking to release weight, reduce bloating, and eliminate inflammation in the body, join my 21 Day Gut Health Reset Challenge.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, I get interviewed by Nick Spohn where we speak about the evolution of the diet, why different food affects everyone in a different way, and how to break bad habits and take control of your health.

I myself always feel tired and my body needs more rest than usual around this time of the year.

Now athletes, you might be worrying, thinking something is wrong with you because you don’t function the way you normally do, but I am here to tell you that it is completely normal!

Our bodies are incredible in how they function, they even follow the seasons of the year, which is why you feel more energized and outgoing during the summer months, but tired and needing lots of rest during winter.

Are you sleeping enough?

So often we focus on things like putting in the work or crushing it at the gym that we forget about the most important aspect to living a healthy lifestyle - sleep.

Sleep is crucial when it comes to recovery, muscle building, optimizing gut health, regulating hormones and even managing stress, and for many of us, especially women, once we start to take on the responsibility of having children sleep becomes less and less important to us.

Sleep is so important, infact, that I decided to bring on another sleep expert to the Fall In Love with Fitness Podcast, Dr. Carol Yuan-Declair.

Have you ever achieved a goal in your health and fitness, only to have everything turn back to the way it was before you started?

You see, most people stop pushing when they hit their target, resulting in a temporary change.

What we need to start striving for is transformation. We need to shift our identity and become the person who lives that life.

The two most important aspects of creating this transformation is immersing yourself with a supportive environment and to always be curious and learning, even when what you’re learning is something you’ve heard many times before.

On my recent Yoga Retreat to the Blue Osa in Costa Rica, I was surrounded by people who all wanted the same thing - to become better connected in body and mind, and to learn.

When you allow yourself to be open to new ideas and thought patterns, the chances of you creating lifelong transformation increases exponentially.

Nutrition and exercise might be the key to a healthy body, but meditation is the key to a healthy mind.

Now you might think that your block has to do with your diet and nutrition or the way you exercise, but I’m here to tell you that that’s not it!

You see, true transformation happens from the inside out. It all starts with the way we think.

We have this default mindset where we focus on what we don’t have. We focus on scarcity.

When we allow ourselves to come from a place of scarcity, we allow ourselves to believe that everything we do is not enough. That it’s taking too long or that we’re not strong or fast enough.

In order for us to create that transformation and achieve our goals, we need to start living our lives from a place of abundance.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, I talk about the power a positive and negative mindset can have over you and your goals, how even the smallest things in our environment can hold us back, and how our thoughts lead to physical manifestations in the body.

It’s only when we begin to change the way we see things that the things around us begin to change.

It’s all about perspective.

When we see things happening to us, we focus on what we don’t have and fall into an endless pit of self-pity and we feel stuck.

But when we see things happening for us, we begin seeing the lessons and opportunities in everything we do. This allows us to make positive changes and overcome anything life throws at us.

Remember, athletes, that you decide what you can and can’t do in your life and you have the ability to overcome any challenge that steps in your way.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, we revisit clips from five powerful interviews on overcoming adversity. As you listen in today I want you to look at the way you react to everyday situations. Begin making the shift from victim to victor with the small things, so when life throws adversity your way you’re better prepared to take it head on.

It's estimated that around 80% of people who start a diet regain the weight they’ve lost and more.

But why does this happen?

In western society, we are on a constant quest to find the magic diet. The secret formula that will allow us to release weight fast and with little effort.

The truth is, a diet is a restriction. We deny ourselves the things we want and when we do this, we create a stronger reward system in our brain for it - we activate a more intense dopamine surge that ultimately creates an addiction.

The longer the restriction, the more we want it, think about it and crave it. This is the diet mindset.

But it doesn’t have to be like this. We have the ability to change the way we see food, change our habits around health and fitness and ultimately, drastically increase our quality of life forever.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, we revisit clips from five powerful interviews on the diet mindset. As you listen in today I want you to ask yourself, athlete, at what point did I start to label my food as good or bad? What habits got me to this point? And am I ready to start making a change?

For years I was frustrated with myself, disappointed and angry for being a "victim" of my circumstances.

My thoughts constantly tethered around the principle that if I hadn't been hit by a car I would be able to compete as an athlete at the very highest level.

It's still hard to believe, even after all these years that, in 2012, I was just millimeters away from losing function of my legs.

At the time I felt useless. I felt like a fake. I couldn’t even demonstrate a single squat! What kind of role model is that?

But I knew that with hard work, with dedication, with commitment and consistency, I could rebuild myself up again!

We all have our obstacles, whether it be weight-loss or injury, but it is up to us to decide whether or not we want to accept it as the truth or change the outcome.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, I get interviewed by none other than Amy Novotny where we speak about how to stop yourself from feeling overwhelmed when it comes to fitness, what it means to have a slow metabolism, and how often we should be moving our bodies each day.

One of the toughest obstacles we face as athletes is getting back into our fitness routine after a serious injury or a period of absence.

Earlier this year I tore my calf muscle and was left in a cast for 10 days. Now, while I was in the cast I sustained a SECOND injury.

My knee had swollen up the size of a grapefruit!

This whole year I’ve been battling my injury. I was unable to run, I felt it when I was walking, training, squatting - It showed up every time I moved.

Being active is a huge part of who I am so having that taken away from me was awful.

But I have to tell you that the entire time that I was injured, I did not lose faith. I knew that I would recover and come back to the things I love.

You see, so often when people get injured or are forced to stop training, they get extremely frustrated, discouraged, and disappointed. They remember the things that they were able to do and they don’t accept their current situation.

On this episode of the Fall In Love With Fitness Podcast, I will show you have to build up the mental strength to overcome any obstacle and become the athlete you were always meant to be.

It’s back to school, back to reality!

If you can relate to this and you are looking for some inspiration on how to be consistent in your schedule and make sure that you are able to manage your time and focus on your self-care, then this episode is for you!

After sustaining an injury on the job and being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, Police Sergeant Michael Herst was told by his Doctors that ending up in a wheelchair was inevitable.

Everything is energy.

The molecules that compose our entire universe vibrate at various frequencies and emit energy - even our physical bodies emit energy.

And as we know, energy cannot be destroyed or created, it can only be transformed from one form to another.

This is why all the traumas we carry physically, emotionally and psychologically impact the functionality of our energy systems which can materialize into physical ailments, like pains, sickness and disease.

Today I speak with Valentina Auliso, who is a highly intuitive holistic teacher and mindfulness practice expert who helps people overcome past traumas and experiences.

It was after completing a 12 week weight loss program that Victoria developed an eating disorder.

She would starve herself all day, over-exercise, and indeed up so hungry at night that she would go on huge binges…

These binges would be met with a mixture of shame, anger, guilt, and anxiety of gaining weight that she would purge it all and punish herself with extreme forms of exercise.

Victoria began getting the attention and acceptance that she’d been seeking out her entire life. She was the skinniest she had ever been, but she was also the unhappiest she’d ever been.

It wasn’t known to her at the time, but Victoria's challenges related to eating disorders, mental health, extreme dieting, and over exercising would become a catalyst for creating a solution to an issue millions of women deal with everyday.

Victoria helps countless women heal their relationship with food by optimizing their mindset for happier and healthier lifestyles.

When I began working with Evie 4 years ago, her primary focus was to create a physical change in her body. Like most people, she would try something new, and when the results didn’t show up fast enough, she gave up.

Evie was going through this constant battle with herself. Whenever she was met with a new challenge or exercise, her internal monologue was one of discouragement and thinking that she wasn’t athletic enough to do it.

Where did this come from? Turns out that she was voted as “Most Unathletic” when she was in high school and she’d been carrying this label ever since.

2 years later Evie returned to my gym a different person. Her focus was no longer on aesthetics, but on performance, strength, and feeling better overall.

How do you feel about aging?

For many, growing old is met with fear. Fear of not being as strong, as fast, as fit as you used to be, and fear from other people who tell you to “slow down,” or that “you’re too old to do that.”

What I’ve found as I mature and grow is that if I don’t have a strong, encouraging, and supportive environment, the negative thoughts of “I’m too old for this,” begin to creep in.

Aging is something to be celebrated, because as far as I’m concerned, you’re never too old to be a badass.

Do you never feel rested no matter how much you sleep? Do you need that cup of coffee in the morning in order to have your daily poop? Or are you maybe experiencing sexual dysfunction?

You may not realize it, but these are all signs and symptoms of a slow metabolism.

Our bodies are living breathing machines. And like any working machine, our bodies require a fuel source in order to function and thrive.

However, not all fuel sources are made the same. If our bodies aren’t functioning as optimally as possible, if we are constantly tired or sore, or we can never focus on anything, chances are our metabolism has been compromised.

I can tell you from experience that most of the time, it all begins with the fuel (food) we choose to put in our bodies.

In this episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness podcast, I discuss what to look for if you suspect your metabolism is not functioning at peak performance, how the food we eat can lead to pain and inflammation all over the body, and how you can begin to slowly change your habits to live a better, healthier, and happier life.

So what did she do? She spent two years recovering, regained her strength, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, became vegan, went on a solo trip around the world, and to top it off, she RAN AN ULTRAMARATHON!

Even though Jan was aging, she didn’t let anything step in her way!

In this episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness podcast, Jan and I discuss how she went from being bedridden to an ultramarathon runner, why she decided to become a vegan, and why the process of aging is, and always will be, a gift.

Why are some topics too “taboo” to talk about? Did you know, One in four women over the age of 18 experience episodes of leaking urine involuntarily? Or that one-third of women experience pain during sex?

Those two things alone can impact not only your health and fitness but also your mental health, confidence, self-esteem, and quality of living.

When life knocks you down, do you give up, or do you get back up and fight?

There are many things in our lives that we can control. However, there are many more things that we have no control over and all we can do is react.

We have two options: make life happen TO us or make life happen FOR us.

You would never guess that Denise grew up struggling with her weight and body image. Like many, she had cycled through all the different diets including the Protein bar diet, Cookie diet, Buttermilk diet, and Atkins. With each one, she would lose 20-30 lbs only to gain it back plus more.

At nearly 300lbs and living in constant pain, Denise realized that it was time to focus on her self care.

How do you deal with pain and stress? We live in a society where most people manage their problems by using medication. A pill for a headache. A pill to sleep. A pill for anxiety. A pill for stress.

While this form of relief is instantaneous, we are merely treating our symptoms and not the underlying causes. Well, what if I told you that relief could be as simple as just adjusting the way you breathe?

Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment.

Her unique approach comes from 11 years of experience in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions.

Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep deprivation and the need for medications. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method.

On this episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness podcast, Amy and I discuss why she developed the PABR method, why the way we are taught to hold ourselves is preventing us from living pain free, and how breathwork can improve not only our physical health, but our mental health as well.

Have you ever heard the saying, you are what you eat? It implies that if we eat foods that are considered “bad”, we are bad people, and we end up feeling guilty and ashamed.

It’s time to upgrade our beliefs and instead say, “You are what your body does with the foods that you eat,” because food affects everyone differently.
