The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast

I was honored to sit down with two of my very good friends today to discuss exactly what emotion coaching is. We dove into the science behind The Emotion Code, a book and system developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, and how she is applying that to help heal individuals. If you have ever had any emotional trauma , which we ALL have, you might be holding on to emotional blocks that are limiting your relationships, your fitness, and your overall happiness! Altee is such a special soul, her ability to connect with others and help rid themselves of negative tapped emotions is absolutely amazing. Give this episode a full listen and I promise any bias you have against energy work, might just change.   For more information or to schedule a free 30-minute consultation, visit her website www.MyHealingWorks.com   Altee's Bio I am a certified Emotion Code practitioner who has found passion and purpose in helping those who are suffering from trauma and emotional baggage. It is my desire to help those who are looking to develop into the best and purest versions of themselves. I have always had an interest in human behavior and how individual experiences impact the way people show up and react in certain situations.  Throughout my life I have always been an observer. Friends and family have identified me as an understanding listener that can bring clarity and calmness to difficult situations.  I am able to easily identify people’s motives and actions without judgement or criticism. My mother-in-law presented me with the Emotion Code. She had attended several of Bradley Nelson’s seminars and shared the practices with me and my children.  Whenever she did work with my family, the heaviness of burdens was lifted and we experienced feelings of peace.  In April 2019, I was able to attend one of Bradley’s seminars to learn how to perform the healing modalities of the Emotion Code/Body Code.  Combining this education with my natural ability to understand and care for others has led me to pursue a purpose of helping as many people as I can move past life blocks and challenges.”   Connect with us on Instagram Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Guest Altee Dapper – @myhealingworks Key Nutrition – @keynutrition

Today’s episode was with my good friend, Chad Neilson, also know as Plant Based Chad! I wanted to get Chad on to talk about being a competitive athlete while being plant based. Chad also is NOT a coach, so he has no monetization to gain from this. I am clearly not a plant based guy, and I did not feel judged for being a meat eater. Just like I didn’t judge Chad for being plant based. It was a very respectful and  intellectual conversation that I know you all will get a ton of value from!     Macro E-Book Presale - Click Here     Topics we covered in the podcast: Why he calls myself plant based instead of vegan Favorite plant based protein and restaurants Ditching any dogma about being plant based His “agenda” and bias and cognitive dissonance His journey of Plant Based eating A few things from the movie Game Changers which really stood out to him And lastly, He Answered the age old questions “What do you actually eat?” and “How do you get enough protein?”    Favorite Plant Based Protein Visit True Nutrition’s Website – Click Here   Top 12 Vegan Meals in the Salt Lake Valley 100% Plant Based Restaurants Buds – sandwich shop downtown (100% Plant Based Restaurant).

Most diets fail because we overcomplicate the process. It’s simple at its core, eat at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight. How you want to achieve that is totally up to you. There are some cases of extreme cases of dieting where you actually need MORE calories, but for the vast majority of people, create the deficit, and you will lose weight. Stop complicating the process and in return, your results will be exponentially better.

Today's episode was with a long time friend and fellow coach in the industry, Mike Manfe. We talked about his new branding, Evolve Culture and what that means at its core. We also discussed my new favorite segment, how to spot a BS coach. We touched on why so many people don’t achieve their fitness goals and what he suggests to help someone find their passion. Mike is also a father as of this year and we could not be happier for him. I asked him how being a father has changed his life, he gives a great response! Mike is one of the top nutrition coaches in the state and delivers amazing client results. It was an honor and pleasure to sit down with him to talk and collaborate with the “competition”. Scarcity mindset is not a winning mindset, today we both choose to live in abundance.

In today's episode, Michelle joined me in answering all of you lovely peoples questions! First part we recapped our amazing trip to San Jose to hang with the Mind Pump crew. We then jumped into the Q & A. We talked about everything from the most impactful thing anyone has ever said to me, to battling postpartum depression and anxiety, to the type of carbohydrates used in a cut and much, much more. Last few minutes I recall how I bought my dog on a lunch break and the terror that ensued afterwards. Quick knowledge bombs dropped with laughs mixed into this one. Enjoy!
