This episode is brought to you by Onnit. One of the ways that Ed and I connect is our love of fitness, our love of training our bodies so we can show up stronger and more resilient in our day to day lives. And for me, it's all about practicality and understanding things that are going to happen in our lives that are going to be obstacles in our goals to getting to the level of fitness that we want to get to. So we can have aspirations of going to the gym every day or going on a hike or going for a walk every day. But stuff happens. Life happens. Things come up. And so over the years, I've been collecting different pieces of fitness equipment, different tools, low-cost tools that I always have on hand when plans change and I can't get to where I want to get to. So I always have something at home and also for my family to utilize as well. And so this is why I'm such a huge fan of unconventional training, not just the typical push-pull methods of training, but being able to focus on all of these remarkable stabilizer muscles and having a level of tone and definition that you typically don't see with people in my age bracket, for example, but also the functionality and being able to express myself in all these remarkable, creative, fun ways. Because we want to be able to continue playing and having fun as we age as well. And a big part of that, for me, has been utilizing unconventional training with the fitness tools from Onnit. They are the company that brought steel clubs and steel maces and their incredible primal kettlebells to the market. Things that have become popularized with other companies. Onnit is the originator. They've had partnerships with Marvel, with Star Wars, like you just can't partner up with companies like that, but it's because they are the real deal. They are the industry leader when it comes to utilizing these tools. And also they have top tier science backed. Literally, they run some of their supplements through double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials, and they're based on earth-grown nutrients. So their Shroom Tech pre-workout has been run through a placebo-controlled clinical trial, and it is proven to increase your stamina, to increase your bench press and squat reps. It is truly remarkable. And the same thing holds true with their nootropic alpha brain. And so not only do they have steel clubs, steel maces, and their primal kettlebells, and so many other pieces of incredible fitness equipment that again, I highly recommend you pop over there and grab yourself at least one of these fitness tools to utilize this year. Add something to your repertoire, but also they have the very best human performance supplements that you're going to find. And you get everything that I just mentioned for 10% off store wide when you go to on onnit.com/model, that's onnit.com/model, upgrade your dedication to fitness, get yourself one of these pieces of equipment to have on hand at your home. And also they're fun. And they're amazing to be able to utilize. You could do sometimes dozens or even over 100 different exercises with some of these pieces of equipment. It's truly remarkable. And also again, incredible nutrition as well. So check them out onnit.com/model.

This episode is brought to you by Pique Tea. Whenever a special guest comes into the Model Health Show studio, everyone is offered some of the most health-affirming and nourishing teas for them to sip on. Now, whether that's matcha green tea or one of my favorite teas, which is the fermented tea called pu'er. It's all about creating an environment for health and wellness within the body. In particular, when it comes to pu'er, it's about creating an environment of having a healthy microbiome. A study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry found that pu'er is able to potentially reverse gut dysbiosis by dramatically reducing the ratios of potentially harmful bacteria and increasing ratios of beneficial bacteria. One of the major ways that pu'er is able to do this is its high concentration of polyphenols that are remarkably beneficial for our gut flora. Now, the only pu'er that I drink and that I offer to my special guests is the fermented pu'er that utilizes a cold extraction technology making this pu'er at cold to low temperatures for up to eight hours. And this patented process gently extracts the natural antioxidants and polyphenols specifically and provides them in a way for maximum efficacy. And it's wild harvested. So this is beyond organic, making it even more rich in polyphenols. Plus it's triple toxin screened for one of the highest levels of purity. These are the teas from Pique Life. Go to piquelife.com/model. That's P-I-Q-U-E-L-I-F-E.com/model. And you're going to get up to 15% off their incredible fermented pu'er plus free shipping and other bonuses like free tea samples with some of their pu'er tea bundles. And their tea samples actually come with a 12 pack of different tea varieties for you to try out some of their different and they have over 20 award winning teas at Pique life.

This episode is brought to you by Organifi. one thing I know about Michael Beckwith because I've been at his house, I see all the nutrition he is about that life when it comes to nourishing, as he calls it, the body temple. He knows that his ability to express, his ability to serve, his ability to reach his highest potential and to stay at a high vibration has a lot to do with how he's taking care of his body. And one of the things that him and I are both big fans of is utilizing superfood concentrates. And one of my favorite superfood concentrates is a blend of the most powerful super-fruits. In particular, red, blue, that hue. That is an indication of certain antioxidants that have remarkable benefits. For example, Acai has the highest orac value meaning its concentration of antioxidants of any of the popular fruits that you see in the produce aisle at any conventional grocery stores. Now, Acai has an orac value of over 100,000. That's about 10 times more antioxidants than common fruits. And how does that show up? Does it actually translate over for our bodies? Well, a study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry found that Acai does in fact raise participants' antioxidant levels, demonstrating how effectively it is absorbed by our microbes, by the human gut. Our bodies really do vibe well with Acai. That's why it's popping out here on the streets right now. But we want to make sure, again, that it's organic. And these superfood concentrates. What if you blend Acai with, for example, blueberry, which researchers at the University of Michigan published data affirming that blueberries can actually affect genes that are controlling our ability to burn fat. Plus, combine that with the power of something that's well documented to increase our endurance. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that beet juice is able to increase stamina of study participants 16% during exercise. These are just some of the ingredients, the superfood ingredients in the Organifi red juice formula. It is free of conventional sugars. It's all organic. This is great for the kids. Kids really like Organifi red juice as well. It's a huge upgrade from the conventional Kool-Aid and Flavor Aid that many of us grew up with. This is a way to get all of these incredible nutrients infused into our bodies, into our cells by enjoying something like organifi red juice. Head over to Organifi.com/model and they're going to give you 20% off their incredible red juice blend. Go to organifi.com/model. That's Organifi.com/model for 20% off store wide, including their incredible all organic red juice blend.
