Jason Khalipa Podcast 159: From Colonics to Technique: Transform Your Fitness
What do colonics, parenting, and perfecting your workout technique have in common? In today’s episode, The Home Team—Jason Khalipa, Gabe Yanez, Dennis Marshall, and Matt DellaValle—tackle it all. From the sometimes uncomfortable conversations about health (yes, we’re talking colonics) to the importance of showing up for your family without a phone in hand, this episode hits the areas that matter most.
The crew dives into why being present is key—whether it’s enjoying family dinners, tackling intense fitness challenges, or even navigating new health experiences like a colonic. Plus, they discuss the value of proper technique in the gym, tips for staying safe while lifting, and how to avoid cutting corners in your fitness journey.
Join the conversation full of relatable wisdom, plenty of laughs, and actionable takeaways. Watch now to explore how you can fine-tune your health, elevate your fitness mindset, and show up at your best for both your family and yourself!
