Timestamped Show Notes:

05:45– One of the biggest hurdles I had to get over was the sound of my own voice. So I recorded myself giving presentations while driving my truck, in front of a mirror, etc. I did 52 weeks of recording driving to work and I made sure I did it every week, for a year straight. Not for content creation and not for anybody else. Yes, there was good content there and I would make sure I posted on YouTube, even before I went into the office.

12:30 – As a coach, in both the mindset life coaching part of my business and the fitness part of my business, it doesn’t matter what side of the spectrum you’re on, you got to listen to your client first.

43:30 – I work only with the lifestyle mindset coaching side of things, I don’t coach them in fitness. I coach them on their lives. We work through the victim mentality and impostor syndrome. Soft talking through the past experiences and the story work. These things take up space in us. We don’t realize they’re taking up space in us which means we can’t bring in new positive experiences. Because this something that is still holding on to us from the past, that we haven’t learned to express or let go of or deal with. It’s blocking us from moving forward. This happened to me, the reason I am more successful now than I was four years ago, is because four years ago, I had a block. I knew I had a block.

50:00 – I am often focused on the mindset coaching and lifestyle coaching which are my passions that I do outside of the gym. You have to be ready for those conversations. I had a local business that hired me and it was a six week program where I brought them through how to structure, how to plan, and they didn’t respond well to the one the week with what I had designed. They all bottled up got really closed off. It was a big time tough room. I felt it and you could feel that in the owner too. So I pivoted and I flipped the script.

01:17:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

That’s probably why I came out so happy today. It’s one of the things why I shut my mind off for an hour. I focused on whether I was not flat footed or was on my toes or rotating enough. Or like how I was striking or if I was connected to every movement I did. I was listening and learning and taking criticism. It was awesome.

That’s pretty cool and more people need to experience that. That feeling to just be centered and focused that hard on anything could be lifechanging, and it doesn’t have to be a athletic endeavor. It could be art, it could be music, or it could be the freeing experience like podcasting.

On Today’s Episode With Tyler of WeShape, He Reminds Us Of The Power Of A Healthy Mindset, Mindfulness, Self-Worth, And More:

Co-Founders, Katie and Tyler Bramlett started WeShape with the intention of advocating for women to stop focusing on the number on the scale and instead put their energy and efforts towards a more meaningful intention such as movement, rest, and a deeper connection with self. Their entire company and product is rooted in intention, movement, community, and beliefs. They have a passion for bringing awareness to the toxic expectations placed on women in the fitness industry, as well as the often overshadowed, yet pivotal roles women play in business and entrepreneurship.

Quote: “A Disciplined Mind Leads To Happiness, And An Undisciplined Mind Leads To Suffering ~ Dalai Lama

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

Mindfulness Intention
Self-Worth
Feel Good Challenges every 6 weeks.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:15 – How do we give them the tools to go from unconsciously working out, like mindlessly exercising, it’s the hammering away on the treadmill, while you’re watching an episode of Oprah. Hitting the machines and not really dropping into your body or really experiencing movement. How do you actually learn how to mindfully move your body from the intention of wanting to care for your body, not from the intention of wanting to change the way you look? So you can get external validation and feel good about yourself? Right. So that’s kind of how we got to here!

10:40 – I also think that if you surround yourself with people who are all stuck in the same toxic mindset, then you end up complaining and circulating in that mindset. It’s interesting to me, one of the things that we discovered early on about community was, it is one of the greatest predictors to overall longevity. In fact, I think it was Wendy Suzuki is a neuroscientist that said that it was the number one predictor of longevity is the amount of positive connections you have with other people.

14:30 – I feel like this is something I’ve become really aware of. It’s funny because Katie was the one who came up with this intention as the business was, how do we change people? How do we bring awareness to this toxic weight loss culture we’re stuck in, which is like, do this crash diet, do this workout, do this whatever, and you’ll lose weight and you’ll feel better about yourself. We just said it like a little bit ago, you’ll lose weight, but you won’t feel better about yourself.

23:30 – The goal is just to get people rallied up and consistent. We go over these topics of intention, movement, beliefs, community with them and really dive deep into them. It really changes a lot of people’s lives. What’s really interesting to me about these challenges, is that when people come together in a community, and one person is willing to raise their hand and share, like, Hey, I’m really struggling with this.

34:15 – I think people struggle with that. But again, I think this comes down to that self-worth and I think where we can really differentiate ourselves as a brand is that WeShape isn’t focused on body transformation, losing weight, and all this different stuff. We’re trying to bring to someone’s attention that hey, look at all the magazines and all the internet stuff everything is basically making you feel shitty about yourself. We’re shaping a new way, we’re trying to change the way we’re approaching us. All that stuff out there is making you feel shitty so that you buy their stuff.

40:45 – The mindset work, the psychological work, that is something that we personally have to take accountability for. You have to have a personal accountability and investment yourself.

58:00 – I want them to stop getting stuck in these toxic weight loss cycles. Stop getting stuck in these exercise programs and diets and all this crap and start learning how to appreciate themselves. Teach them to connect with themselves and show up with better intentions and lean into a community who can support them through that.

59:20 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think what I want to stand for is just showing people that it starts with their opinion of themselves. What you believe about yourself, is what you will do with your life. If you believe that you’re worthless, and you know you’re a failure, and you can’t do all of these things, then there you go. That’s the life that you’re gonna end up creating for yourself. You can believe whatever you want. So you can believe and see all of these positive things about yourself. You can keep training that belief and holding that belief as truth and fortifying that belief through your actions to build it into truth. So that will become your life. It’s just your choice what you want to believe.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:00 – I finally ended up taking a leave of absence and then ended up leaving, I was an Illinois State Trooper and I ended up leaving because of fitness businesses that I had not the one I have now a different fitness business, I started, but it really took off. But, you know, throughout that I also even when I was a police officer, I was super interested in fitness. I was bodybuilding and powerlifting even when I was a police officer, as a police officer, I got as heavy as like 235 pounds as a power lifter, and I’d get down to 175 pounds for a bodybuilding competition.

13:15 – I think that if we’re coming in a couple different ways. From a department perspective, you know, obviously, like you said, unscripted, my thoughts go to leadership. Leadership is incredibly important in companies, in police departments, in anything.

22:25 – Even though fitness has been in my kind of personal DNA, when I was a state trooper, I started a little supplement company. I thought, if I can just make enough money to pay for my own protein powder, I’ll be happy. So you know, we call it a side hustle now, but here was the thing, there was there was no internet then. So I placed little classified ads in the back of bodybuilding magazines like Flex Magazine, Ironman, and it was a toll free number and I couldn’t even answer the phone because I was a police officer working. So when I got the call they would have to leave a message.

33:00 – Why are we letting ourselves, and we’re capable of so much, go down that emotionally depressed path? How do we catch them sooner? How do we get them in-line sooner to help themselves? – It’s a great question. I think that part of the reason, I’ll give this quote, “For every complex problem, there’s an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.” Since it is a complex question, I’ll try not to just turn it into one thing, you know, do it reductionist. I’ll say this, I think that part of the answer is, if you have worked with people at all in the addiction space, it’s not always rational, because in my head when I was 32, I was rational but like what is going on here?

40:00 – There’s so much to focus on, and it’s more than just take personal responsibility and just buck up man. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and do this, except that we are in this incredibly obesogenic environment. By obesogenic, your listeners probably know what it means. But to me, it just means that all things external and internal that drive the overconsumption of ultra-processed food. The simple fact that ultra-processed food is addictive, which is also obesogenic.

51:00 – One of the elements of emotional fitness is self-awareness. When you have more self-awareness, you are more conscious. What happens is, you go catastrophic, or you don’t go catastrophic. For example, if I had an argument with my spouse or my significant other, I’d say well, I guess we’re gonna end up divorced, I’ll be homeless, alone, living under a bridge penniless, nobody will ever love me ever again. Now I know, I’m exaggerating. But I think your listeners will all get that we all do that, to some extent, if something is really the thing that lights us up quick. What if something’s become what we call a conditioned, automated response. Conditioned as in like Pavlov’s dogs.

01:07:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Honestly, it’s the reason I transitioned out of supplements. I sold a supplement company and I went all in on llcu. Because I started thinking about what were the what were the positive things that people were saying about me. And to me with regard to the supplements, hey, thanks for the great prices, the fast shipping, the protein that helped me get ready for the thing that whatever the thing was, and I went, I literally went, this was back in 9798, I went, I have got so much more in me than that. And on the back of my tombstone, I don’t want thanks for the fast shipping. Thanks for the, you know, the low prices. Thanks for that. I said, I want to really have done everything I can to help people transform truly transform from the inside out and have their lives be bettered not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, spiritually, in ways that transcend not only their life, but that they can then share with and help the next generation and the next generation and the next so. And so that’s why I’m so passionate about making sure people understand what they’re facing what’s going on. Because I want them to win, I really want them to win. And they can if they have the information and the support and the system. So I mean, that’s not really a pretty simple, you know, answer, but it really is all about helping people to be their best selves and have that transcend. I’ve got grandkids now, Scott. So I see my kids with their kids. Yeah, we were just there this weekend, we were in Dallas visiting and seeing the grandkids. I can’t tell you how important it is and how special it is for me to see, you know, the influence?

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:50 – That’s what happened and you know, I just got super inspired and moved out to Southern California and LA when I was 21 years young. I was excited to be in LA, the palm trees, that healthy living lifestyle, all that California has to offer. But when you’re 21 years old and you’re 3000 miles from home, you’re not a fit guy. You have very little professional skills to offer the world. Honestly, that plastic capital, the world is really a better place vibe.

19:35 – That’s human nature to its core. I would say back in the day of 2012, when our brand came to existence, I guess my official franchise, it was the wild wild west. So there was structure there, but not nearly the amount of support and paint by numbers playbook and SOP’s and whatnot that we have today. So I wouldn’t say it was a different timeframe, to your point I found the playbook. Although I did make some edits and tweaks along the way.

30:20 – With that support system, technically, then you’re even more successful. Right? And if you’re coming in as if you didn’t have the system, your mindsets there, you are ready to put in the long hours, the intensity, build your team, build the business, build the brand, build your clientele, and you have a system. Oh, my God, the world could be your oyster, so to speak. It’s rocket fuel!

43:00 – We’re extremely challenging here in 2023. I mean, we’ve had our best year in years for 2022, we’ve just awarded it will be 50 franchise locations this year, our franchise, the brand, the energy is off the charts, our franchise partner locations are the most successful they’ve ever been. So to your point, sometimes you got to go through the mess, and sometimes you got to go through hell to get to heaven.

50:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think for me the legacy that I want to leave and when people look at me and you know, talk about me and the impact with my connection with them, is I want them to leave with the thought of this guy may be better. I think, generally speaking, as time will continue on, I’ll continue to get more granular on that vision and be able to clarify it even more. But where I’m at right now, from a fitness perspective, from a leadership perspective, a business coach, consultant perspective, really what I’ve tried to do over the last 10 to 15 years in my career, is just leave it better than I found it to add value to people, and help them along the way. Help them have that mindset, because I connected with this guy, because I connected with this organization, because I rubbed shoulders, I’m better off for it. Now I have a duty, obligation, and responsibility to do the same thing for others.

00:30 – Introduction

09:25 – I know a lot of people overthink it, and then because they overthink it, they end up really stalled with paralysis by analysis. So I’ve got to do this, go do that, I haven’t got time for this. I’m gonna, you know, start next month and I think that’s it is very simple and the thing that I think people want to do before anything, and I’ve been doing it since I was a junior bodybuilder, sort of 16-17 years old and I’ve been I’m 52 now. So I’ve been doing it for all my life pretty consistently, I’m a little bit of an anomaly. But I think for the average person that hasn’t done that consistently for years and years and years, then really, the most important thing that you need to focus on is creating a habit, where you’re gonna fit some kind of activity, or movement into your life. I’ve not actually met any people that have not been able to create a habit of cleaning their teeth, at least in the morning, and when they get up and before they go to bed in an evening.

20:30 – For whatever reason, everybody is obsessed, relationships break down for it, everything is really driven about people’s desire for money, what they think money is going to give them.

31:00 – We’ve got a pretty decent process and we’re predominantly business to business. So we work with a lot of gyms trainers, we we have a small part which is direct to consumer, but predominantly, it’s going into clubs. Most of that gives us the ability to plan out a little bit further than people who kind of want to just purchase things immediately.

35:00 – I never thought I’d ever get into unofficially designing my own space. I mean, to be fair, actually, I love the fact you guys actually do design services, which is super cool.

40:00 – You got yoga combined with spinning, boxing, etc. So you got to think of how you’re going to really differentiate yourself. There’s a lot of ways that you can do that, obviously. But a lot of people react to the simple things, I used to be a boxer, and I like boxing, and I know some friends do too, etc. So I’m going to open a boxing gym but then what.

48:22 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’ll just remind them of what I said at the beginning. I suppose you think that there’ll be a time where you’ll figure out how to make health and fitness important in your life. I’ve interviewed probably two or three-hundred very successful people in all areas, not just fitness, but in many different areas in business and I think consistently the one thing that that really separates those from anyone else is just finding where that fits into your life. But putting it before everything else in your hierarchy of things to do, stick fitness at the top. I think if you can make that a habit then you’ll find that dealing with all the other stuff that life throws at you on a regular basis including preventing yourself from getting totally destroyed from whatever pandemic happens and everything else that is out there, you won’t go far wrong.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

11:40 – I wasn’t really virtual before. I had the online programs and online training options. I had a few clients that I trained online that we did 12 weeks at a time with but I didn’t really have a virtual program. So that’s something that we just kind of had to come up with on the fly.

20:00 – The last thing a guy wants to hear is skinny. Right? People are waiting to hold on. So if you don’t work out, you lose weight. I said, yeah, people don’t like hearing that

30:00 – With the marathon, when you have a big fitness goal, whether it be a big weight loss goal, or a big transformation goal, I mean, it seems like a marathon in the second if you don’t train your mind, right. If you don’t celebrate the little milestones to further original successes, then I mean, eventually you won’t make it because it’ll feel like it feel like you’re never going to get there.

34:40 – Basically every every excuse is really just an obstacle you haven’t overcome yet but I think just the this to me, I think the taking on the big challenges and everything and just trying to push myself where weren’t your body just as done in the rest of it is up to your mind. I think every every time it just it prepares me for when things get tough in life.

45:00 – The doughnuts are basically those are the curveballs that we can’t see coming. And so like there were you just have to completely change the game plan and change and throw the game, throw the game, plan out the window and adapt and so like, would be whether the bad weather donor, so you’re planning on running in the morning, and you open the door and it’s pouring down, right. And so you could either go to bed, and so a good solution would be to run in the rain. But or maybe a harder one would be the the single parent who’s planning on working out after work, and they get it or working out over their lunch break or after work, and they get a call from the school and their kid is sick.

52:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

Yeah, although always closing thoughts always I would love to give is about failing. I think as a fitness trainer, so you’ve been a trainer before. I mean, I always have I have a very, I don’t like New Year’s resolutions. I love goals. I think everybody should always have goals and regularly be setting goals. What I don’t like about New Year’s resolutions is we have ruined them, because there’s just such a negative attitude about them. And a negative attitude is is that one like after six weeks of the year, there’s all these stats that come out that 90% of people already failed on their new year’s resolutions. And big and most new year’s resolutions are about fitness. And every time I hear it, so what I just want to say so what because if you haven’t failed, you’re going to fit there’s making fitness a priority in your life is a very important message that everyone needs to learn. There’s nothing about being perfect, there’s not they’re going to fail, you’re going to fail from time to time and and that doesn’t have to end your story.

Whenever you do fail, if you miss a workout or if you if you eat something you didn’t plan on, if you if you had good intentions, but somehow you messed up… That doesn’t mean your fitness story is over what defined you is how you respond. And so I think the biggest message if you want to make fitness a long term part of your life, is how you respond to failure. Whenever you do mess up. It’s always thinking, what is what you do next. That counts as something my dad always said to me growing up whenever we had did make a mistake, it wasn’t your life’s not over because you’re messed up. It’s what you do next, that counts, I think and every time with fitness and don’t beat yourself up for something you did wrong. But it just turned turn to switch and it’s what you do next. How are you going to recover? How are you going to get back on track? That’s how you make this long term for you.

236: The LionHeart and Burn Your Couch

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Time To Burn Your Couch with LionHeart Radio’s Rick Alexander!

Rick is a writer, speaker and performance coach. He’s also the author of Burn Your Couch available on Amazon! As an ex-special operations veteran and ultra-endurance athlete, Rick crafts content to help lead people through adversity and into a life of meaning. You can hear his ideas on his podcast LionHeart Radio which air’s Monday through Friday or by picking up a copy of his debut book, Burn Your Couch. (BurnYourCouch.com)

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:10″] Introduction and a regular co-host shout out to Dr. Megan Cannon, Sports Psychologist for getting Rick and Scott introduced. Plus Scott knocks Rick’s bio intro and killed it!
[spp-timestamp time=”04:00″] It’s interesting because if you let the wrong thing get into the driver’s seat when you’re going through your life, it’s going to make you miserable. It goes back to that classic quote like how are you supposed to move forward if you’re always living behind or something like that. It’s one of these is something different manifestations of that quote, but it’s is so true.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:24″] Why do you have to go back? If you served, then you have that honor and that respect. You can move on to start a whole new chapter.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] Three of the most top psychologically strenuous things that you can go through in your life.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:00″] That’s the thing, an existential crisis we’ve made that you literally ignore your call to adventure and you continue to do the things that you think you’re supposed to do or you have all these obligations that are essentially self-imposed, right?
[spp-timestamp time=”18:00″] If you’re really growth minded, that kind of a lifestyle is rough, and I don’t wish it on anybody, because it means you got to leave relationships, leave jobs and you leave states. If you’re going to honor the process of what growth really requires, that means that you are going to grow away from certain things that are really comfortable in it and that you might enjoy.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:45″] I think that it’s entirely possible to find people that you’re going to grow with. It’s just way harder.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:52″] One of the mindset shifts for me that it was a literal life changer was focusing on what you do want vs you don’t want. Something that’s really changed my life so you know, I don’t want to go broke is much different than I want to make six figures this year, right?
[spp-timestamp time=”25:20″] Preconceived notions and ideas. Cognitive researchers believe that you don’t know about 95% of what goes on in your own brain.
[spp-timestamp time=”27:00″] Writing is a process where there’s not a lot of validation.
[spp-timestamp time=”31:20″] We’re in a culture of doers, so you just keep doing, and doing, the path just keeps getting further and further away from where you really want to be at times.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:29″] You need to protect your energy, you can end up somewhere miserable, burnt out and exhausted. Then you’re going to hate what you’re doing because I’ve literally gone down that road of hustle.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” … “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” ~ Carl Jung

[spp-timestamp time=”37:00″] History of LionHeart. We had all CrossFit athletes that we sponsored, which is why we started the show.
[spp-timestamp time=”42:52″] I found the beauty in life which is outside of rigidity.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:04″] It’s serendipitous. The morning coffee podcast episodes on LionHeart.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:00″] I kept denying that call to adventure and because of that, I delayed what I really wanted to be doing in this world by years. It was painful and if I really fought to get that out there. Burn Your Coach was released a year ago, it was essentially the idea behind that which is a lot of what we’re talking about. Most people mistake being comfortable for being happy and those two things just aren’t the same.
[spp-timestamp time=”47:51″] Who are the people you’re surrounding yourself with? Who are the inner circles that you’re allowing your manifestation to take with? Setting big hairy audacious goals normally does not come from the old circles of influence, they come from the new circles of influence that you’re allowing into your life.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:11″] I got out of the military at 12 years. Everybody said you got to do eight more years. The only thing I could think about is eight years to do a job that you’re unhappy with when you know there’s an entire life you want to be doing.
[spp-timestamp time=”50:39″] I just finished recording the audiobook literally yesterday. It’s a ridiculous process.
[spp-timestamp time=”51:23″] There are some great books like former Navy SEAL guys or stories of Navy SEAL’s. Check out Fearless about former SEAL, Adam Brown.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:33″] I wanted to be a rock star my whole life. I spent a couple years playing in the music industry and we were huge but we had like a local song on the radio and we opened for some bands that I liked.
[spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] How can we achieve more? Do the thing that you feel called to do in the world. It will be the biggest performance hack you could ever imagine.
[spp-timestamp time=”55:24″] Final Words

Final Words:

I’m going to close it with a Carl Young quote. It wasn’t the quote I gave you at the beginning of the show:

“Until you make the subconscious conscious, it’s going to rule your life and you’re going to call it fate.”

I think there’s no more worthy ideal than figuring out who you really want to be in what you really are. I know I’ve been talking about it throughout this whole show.

Until you do that, everything else won’t matter. You’ll put your energy in the wrong place, you’ll be in the wrong relationship, you’ll do the wrong job and not necessarily every single aspect.

065: Our False Healthy Halo with Erin Sparrold

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:00:00 +0000

False Healthy Halo Co-Host Education:

Today’s episode is a return of certified nutritionist, Erin Sparrold, CN, MET of Mind of the Athlete. Erin returns to catch up on health, nutrition, but most importantly to talk more on this “False Healthy Halo” we’ve been creating overtop of our health and nutritional goals. A reminder, Erin Sparrold is a sports nutritionist with a passion for improving the health and performance of athletes. She has over 20 years of nutrition coaching experience.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:00″] Erin’s upcoming cooking event here in Bethlehem at Seasons Olive Oil along with what this craze is with using the terminology “Nom Nom” in relation to hunger or excitement.
[spp-timestamp time=”4:55″] Puglia, Italy and the Puglia Pinch taste from the purity of Villa Cappelli Olive Oil. Use Scott’s discount code “FUEL” to get 10% off your order!
[spp-timestamp time=”5:55″] Erin must read the book, Extra Virginity. All USA consumers need to learn about the “Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil.” There’s no purity regulations to protect the consumers and a whole lot more that’s going wrong.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:30″] Erin’s funny story on Bone Broth.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:30″] Our toxic bodies and how our taste buds can become desensitized.
[spp-timestamp time=”17:55″] Stripping out healthy fats, for example on our salads, may impact how our bodies absorb necessary nutrients. Certain nutrients are not as bio-available.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Simplifying nutrition and biohacking.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:50″] Erin’s use of a False Healthy Halo to explain the improper food marketing that’s happening in our industry. It’s miss-educating consumers and sending us down unhealthy paths while making us think we’re making healthy decisions.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:15″] Blanketed “diets” can be quite unhelpful. We need to adapt and modify them to fit each unique person’s lifestyle.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:30″] How my own father’s heart doctor was incorrectly advising him on healthy heart diets. He was telling him to eat Cheerios vs real, whole, eggs. Eggs provide essential cholesterol that our cells require.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:45″] Our healthy gut microbiome.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:30″] Flip our current government approved, food pyramid upside down and we’ll see some amazing health improvements in this country.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] The history and the government subsidies that has influenced our grain production and increased recommended consumption.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:50″] Erin keeps us away from the False Healthy Halo. She keeps it simple by teaching us to buy, whole, minimally processed foods.

056: Scoring Some Align Therapy with Aaron Alexander

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Align Therapy in Your Life

A practice not thought about enough is how we move. If we took the time to analyze how we move we would probably uncover the root causes to most of our joint pain and inflammation. Helping people align their everyday movements is Aaron Alexander a movement coach from Align Therapy. Aaron has literally made courses about movement in our everyday life, such as chopping carrots, getting out of the car and sitting in a chair. Aligning these simple movements would improve your quality of life. Aaron is also a fellow Podcaster with the Align Therapy Podcast.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:36″] Dr. Jack Kruse and transitioning from Oregon to California
[spp-timestamp time=”04:56″] The brand Align Therapy and how it came about
[spp-timestamp time=”06:41″] The Power of Podcasting. Aaron has had his podcast for 2 years. He is now approaching 100k downloads per month. When he started his show his numbers were pretty low but after being a guest on other shows his numbers began to pick up.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:04″] Aaron has created courses around literally getting out of a car properly. He is creating a series of videos about the most effective ways to inhabit their bodies. The course should be about in April’17
[spp-timestamp time=”12:24″] It’s the consistency that makes the difference
[spp-timestamp time=”14:41″] It takes time to reprogram. It is a long game. Pulling the best practices from various different worlds, whether it’s CrossFit, Yoga or Martial Arts they all have something valuable to offer. If we can pull from all that and instilling those practices into our daily movement, it will eventually become who we are. Too often we get wrapped up in the quick fix. The way to get past that quick fix is to make it fun and the way to do that is to create activities around it.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:40″] Foam Rolling for mobility and recovery. Making sure your metabolic fire is always running.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:55″] We all have to be open until we have tried it. Give your body that space to step away from your habits.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:04″] Your environment and sleep is key. We always take from the cup but never take the time to ask how to fill it back up.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:38″] Look to the successful. When Aaron is looking at someone’s health, he is looking at the structure organisation around their joints, their skin quality, the elasticity of their tissue, how much they smile, their eye contact and how they relate to people in a social environment, all that is health and it is all things successful people are doing. What are they doing that could be applied to normal life?
[spp-timestamp time=”31:09″] Cycling and paying attention to you posture.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:33″] The effect of dance, art and the curse of handwriting on your creativity.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:04″] Who are you, where are you. The use of standing desks. It’s not about sitting or standing it is about the quality of the way you are sitting or standing.
[spp-timestamp time=”45:21″] Focusing on your mobility. Create a ceremony and an anchor around your sleep or the other things you want to get good at.

051: Your Mitochondria & Biohacking with Dr. Jack Kruse

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Mitochondria with a Neurosurgeon Co-Host:

It’s time to take it back and reconnect to nature. Remove ourselves from our devices and take care of one of the most important surface areas on our bodies. Our eyes. Opening our eyes to a whole new world is today’s co-host, Dr. Jack Kruse. Jack is a Neurosurgeon and an optimal health educator. Jack goes beyond Biohacking to Mito-hacking and looks at Mitochondria and health at a quantum perspective. This episode will give you a new found light of your surroundings.

On This Mitochonria Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:22″] How health works from a quantum perspective, utilizing light, water, and magnetism. What you will learn from Jacks blog is that food and exercise are not even critical components, there are things that are way more fundamental that drive the process. Jack started with the Quilt Document. He teaches us the power and essential necessity of health Mitochondria in our bodies. When Jack started the blog in 2011, he started with relatively simple things which let to him increasing the content in 2013. That’s when people began really getting interested in what he was saying. Most people thought he was crazy when he started. Light, Water, and Magnetism are the three things that you need to link back to in your own life to understand where you are making the mistakes.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:13″] Jack has gone past Biohacking, he labels himself as a Mito-hacker to focus on the importance of our Mitochondria. Jack use’s a car analogy to describe the difference between Biohacking and Mito-hacking.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:31″] Melatonin is made in your eyes first before your brain.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:36″] Jack is wearing blue light blocking glasses during the interview to protect his eyes and Mitochondria health. The four surfaces of the body that are important to protect are the eyes, skin, gut and lung surface. The single most important is your eyes. Your eyes drive all growth and metabolism pathways in the brain through the central retinal pathway.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:51″] We regenerate Melanopsin Receptors during the day when we are awake.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:25″] Every protein in your body is a hydrated semi-conductor. Albert Szent-Györgyi discovered this in the 1940’s. The key to life is in an electron.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:10″] It took Jack years to implement the knowledge he acquired to finally connecting the dots. Diet and exercise was not working for Jack. He was getting bigger and decided to think about it differently. Jack to a trip to Italy to see Michelangelo’s David. He looked up at him and that was the moment he realized the key was Circadian Biology. After a ton of research, Jack stood up in front of his family and said he was going to lose weight by eating more and exercising less, just by controlling his environment better. He done that for three months and he lost 77lbs. He continued on and in the first year, he lost 133lbs total.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:34″] If you want to improve your sleep, the number one thing you can do is go camping. When camping you are around trees that are making huge amounts of oxygen also you are around infra-red light from the fire, which also helps your mitochondria. Your mitochondria is destroyed by light frequencies.
[spp-timestamp time=”34:31″] Training indoors under blue light is counter intuitive to your workout. Blue light negatively impacts your Mitochondria and a whole lot more.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:40″] The retina in your eye lets about 1% of UV light through. It filters the light down as we need very little to run.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] When Jack met Ruben Salinas and the Stanford glove
[spp-timestamp time=”45:32″] Grounding. We need that connection with nature.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:26″] Your environment is more important than the fuel you put in. The only fuel that is critical is DHA. The fastest way to hurt some is through their eyes.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:25″] Your devices have 50% more blue light than the sun does. Ophthalmologist only look at the eye as a camera. It turns out it is an actually a clock. It’s an eye clock, a circadian clock.
[spp-timestamp time=”57:30″] Jack site is jammed pack full of information.
[spp-timestamp time=”1:00:38″] The word Doctor is originally an agent noun of the Latin verb docēre [dɔˈkeːrɛ] ‘to teach’. and Doctors today have strayed from that.
[spp-timestamp time=”1:04:04″] The Quantlet and it’s launch.
[spp-timestamp time=”1:08:17″] Final Words

Final Words

Reconnect with nature. We are animals that are built to connect to the surface of this planet and the sun. That’s what drives every single program in you. You have a Doctor in you that was put there by mother nature. That Doctor is all your bodies semiconductors. All you have got to do is get out of the way of your beliefs, culture, society, civilization, friends and family. Block a lot of that. Once you become aware of that and get out of the way, reconnect with nature and watch the doctor inside of you perform what it is capable of.

050: A Healthy 50th Podcast with Mind of the Athlete

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

50th Podcast with 2 Co-Hosts!

Welcome to our 50th podcast of LIVETHEFUEL. For this milestone Episode, we are joined by Dr. Megan Cannon and Erin Sparrold of Mind of the Athlete. This episode is about taking the time to be more aware of the people around us and to start inflicting positive change in our lives and the people around us. Start making the complex, simple. We bring back Dr. Megan and Erin to take the mental and nutritional standpoints and help you cultivate your positive change.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:31″] Re-Building a healthy body image from a mental and nutritional standpoint.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:29″] Helping people understand the benefits and the power of food, is hugely important. Knowledge is power and unfortunately, right now in the media, there is so much negative information surrounding food and nutrition. There is so much pressure put on people and negative messaging that people do not understand the positive powers food has to help you build your health.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] Body Image. You have to work with the body you have got. We are given these visual ideas of what we think our bodies should look like. But that does not always match up with the reality of our own biology.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:08″] Perceptual body image.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:14″] The image that we are holding ourselves to is not a healthy way to live day to day. People that compete in body sculpting, bodybuilding and physique competitions do not live like that 100% of the time.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:54″] You can’t sustain a high level of performance consistently, you have to let your body and mind rest. That’s why there are training cycles.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:00″] How you talk to the down curve. You need to have other things, other goals and not be setting your whole identity around one pillar. Having a sole focus is never healthy because the come-down from achieving that focus or goal can be really hard.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:55″] Why people struggle to handle the transition from the journey to the destination
[spp-timestamp time=”21:46″] Being aware and noticing behavioral changes. Don’t be scared to check in with people to see how they are doing. It gives the person who requires the help an outlet to talk.
[spp-timestamp time=”24:41″] Having the dialog, being honest with each other. It helps normalize the down after competing.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:02″] Holding ourselves accountable to be more aware of what’s actually happening with the people in our lives.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:25″] Listen for the things that people are doing right and tell them that’s awesome. Build on the positive stuff people are doing rather than the things they are not doing right. Those small lifting moments helps build the positive habits in others. Those little bits of encouragement can be very powerful.
[spp-timestamp time=”31:53″] It’s not the massive things we need to try and change, it’s the small things. Take 5 minutes to check in with someone. You have no idea the impact it will make on them.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:26″] Simple things we could be doing right now.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:42″] It’s the simple things. We need to be taking complex things from our lives and start breaking them down into very simple steps.

044: Silicon Valley, Cancer, Paleo, Sleep with Kevin Cottrell

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Sleep focused, Paleo fed co-hosting:

The key to fitness, health and wellness are sleep. With poor sleep comes poor foundations. With poor foundations, we cannot build. Everything will come crashing down. People through time have worn a lack of sleep, due to hustle and getting stuff done, as a badge of honor. It’s time to put to bed that misconception with Episode 44 and our co-host Kevin Cottrell of fitfluentialradio.com and the HealthCast Now Podcast. Kevin found out the hard way. Through poor lifestyle and environmental choices, Kevin developed a Melanoma Cancer. Although he was a fit guy, his fitness was built upon a foundation of poor sleep. Kevin made critical lifestyle choices and is now healthier than ever. This episode is about the importance of sleep and lifestyle choices.

[spp-tweet tweet=”Light, Water, Magnetism, #Fat Kevin to #Fit Kevin #biohacker @kevincottrell @LIVETHEFUEL “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:22″] Kevin left College in the 80’s, he went back to where he grew up in the Palo Alto area. Kevin got involved in a number of startups in the 90’s, he was the typical Biz Dev Executive working 80-90 hours, traveling excessively, not getting enough sleep but he worked out every day. He thought he was on track. Then came the late 90’s into 2001 and the Dot Com crash. He had stock options on a startup that went public. The shares went from $100 a share to $1 a share in 60 days. An inner layer of stress started to form. Kevin was a guy, during that period of his life that thought sleep was overrated. As long as he kept working out things would be OK. Moving forward to the summer of 2006, Kevin had a mole removed, just a straight forward procedure. He gets a calling saying he needs an emergency procedure to remove some skin from his neck as he has a pretty serious Melanoma (Type of Skin Cancer).
[spp-timestamp time=”03:55″] One of the things Kevin got really good at as an Executive was when lots of drama and chaos comes up, Leadership and Executives fall into one of two camps, they are either a problem solver or you are part of the problem and chaos. Kevin had developed quite a good reputation as a problem solver so he began systematically asking questions at the Doctors office about the problem. He kept a level head despite the stress surging through his body.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:02″] At the point in time Kevin had the Cancer, he had the belief the Cancer was to do with family history but he came to find out since then it was much more to do with his lifestyle that put him at risk than it was any family history.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:33″] In 2009 Kevin was known as ‘Fat Kevin’. Now he wasn’t obese, but he looked obese. He was heavier and started to trend towards type 2 diabetes. This was from following the conventional advice from the Doctors. He was back to working out at four in the morning five times a week. He wasn’t getting enough sleep and was starting to move towards a different direction from a lifestyle stand point. He knew something was not right still. After listing to a Podcast about the Paleo Diet, Kevin knew he had to start looking into it. It wasn’t about the diet he was interested in, it was the lifestyle concept. A Doctor Friend, Dr. Jack Kruse, challenged him to go look at the incidents of melanoma and look at the further you are from the equator are the incidents. Kevin started to change his lifestyle. He began to focus on sleep and getting a healthy dose of sunlight. What happened was he got really healthy. His blood marker ratings went from a 6 to less than 1. He dramatically reduced the inflammation in his body. All by changing his environment and his lifestyle.

“Here’s a great before/after picture. First (left) was 2009. Right 2016. FYI, the weight difference is less than 10 lbs showing massive inflammation.” Do you sleep enough?!

[spp-timestamp time=”13:38″] Key Bio Markers, BUN to Creatinine Ratio, Blood Marker for Inflammation. Vitamin D levels. If you are in an environment where you have way too much blue light, you are indoors way too much, you can take Vitamin D Supplements or even Sun outside and remarkably our bodies do not react.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:28″] Kevin takes fewer supplements now. He concentrates on core lifestyle changes. Getting out and getting sunlight. Anchoring his Circadian rhythm.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:52″] Sleep is something we do have control over. The fastest way to wreck yourself is not to get enough sleep but also hormonally wack yourself by not sleeping correctly based on the light cycle.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:00″] Melatonin Production. Coincidences of low Melatonin and chronic diseases. Stop playing Russian Roulette with sleep. You can whack your Melatonin in a number of different ways. The first is not sleeping enough and not sleeping at the right times.
[spp-timestamp time=”24:50″] Your body needs to recover. Building a building or building a house. If your light/dark cycle and Circadian rhythm is out, you should be working our less, it is the quickest way to burnout. True health and wellness is built on the foundation of good sleep and good nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:12″] Focus on your foundation. Be clean. Eat real food that is nutrient dense. But if you are having problems focusing on the circadian alignment. Do some of the non-intuitive things, take a look at some of your lifestyle choices, are you poisoning yourself with blue light at night or are you falling asleep with the TV on in the bedroom or are your blood markers showing you have massive inflammation, focus on that then come back and look at your workouts. Workout less more is not better.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:41 “]Quality over quantity and less is more. Audit your light/dark cycle and sleep.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:39″] Inflammation is a fire going on in your body. FitFluential is re-framing the dialog so they can help people be their own health advocates.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:44″] Optimization and longevity
[spp-timestamp time=”42:41″] Don’t depend on healthcare, rebuild your foundations. Start surrounding yourself with knowledge.
[spp-timestamp time=”47:09″] Final Words @fitfluential on LIVETHEFUEL

Terms and Meanings

Circadian:
A circadian rhythm /sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/ is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria.
Epigenetics:
The study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself.
Melanoma:
A type of skin cancer that can spread to other organs in the body
Blood Marker for Inflammation:
If you have inflammation in a part of your body then extra protein is often released from the site of inflammation and circulates in the bloodstream. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and plasma viscosity (PV)blood tests are commonly used to detect this increase in protein
BUN Creatinine Ratio:
BUN/creatinine is the ratio between blood urea nitrogen (BUN), a waste product in the blood from protein metabolism, and creatinine. This ratio is used to help determine if kidney function is impaired due to a damaged or diseased kidneys or another factor outside of the kidneys.
Key Biomarkers:
Biomarkers are key molecular or cellular events that link a specific environmental exposure to a health outcome

People Mentioned

Final Words

Effects on our lifestyle and our environment on the epigenetics side are the switches that you turn on or off. This is not only for health and wellness but also the dark side meaning, chronic diseases, and potentially early death. You should be focusing on optimizing our lifestyle and environment. In other words, we are not going to be optimized if we are inadvertently destroying our foundation.

Don’t fall prey to the argument of, I am going to just eat more healthy or exercise more because if the foundations are destroyed it is not going to work. Focus on sleep, focus on a circadian optimization plan, which is the light/dark cycle and eliminating the things that get you off track.

038: 2017 Nutrition Balance with Erin Sparrold

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Nutrition Powered Co-Host for 2017:

Over the years we have been bombarded with fear-based messaging around nutrition and misinformation about body image. It’s around this time of year people decide to make fitness goals but begin on a foundation of this wrong information. Leading to poor results coupled with failed goals.

Final Words on Balance

Right now Erin and Dr. Megan Cannon of Mind of the Athlete are working hard to bring about some change in how people approach their bodies and their health. They are starting a program and launching a group that is meeting at Mind of the Athlete, starting January 9th 2017 called BALANCE. It is all about approaching your body image and your nutrition from a healthy place to build health. More than focusing on trying to lose weight. A lot of people miss the boat trying to make the number on the scale smaller. They make themselves much less healthy. Sometimes they just don’t know how to do it well.

Take the garbage out. A metaphor for not making something somebody else’s problem. Make it your problem. In life, if you see something that needs doing, don’t wait until someone else is watching to do it, just quietly take the garbage out.

When you take the garbage out in enough things in life, when you do things that people are not looking at, you’re not looking for accolades, you are just doing your thing, at the end of the day, you will become successful.

Be accountable.

Final Words

When any of us go through those dark times, we go through those struggles, which inevitably happen to us. They get thrown at us, we get curve balls and the most important thing to remember is it is not permanent. Right now you may be stuck at this moment. It may appear to last forever, and you can’t see the end of the tunnel, but it is there.

When we go through things, when there are those struggles, it’s that awareness, that ability to see that there is another side of this. It’s not permanent. You can get help. You can get resources. You can get out of it with the aid of others, companies, podcasts, etc.
