It's no secret that the current condition of our toxic world makes it challenging to build sustainable health and avoid disease.

The time has come to ask ourselves a very important question: How can we create sustainable health while being faced with unsustainable environmental and agricultural condition? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic with Dr. David Minkoff. He shows us the tools and strategies we need to maintain optimum health in today's increasingly toxic world. Detoxification Should Be A Lifestyle In recent decades, the occasional 1 week or 30-day detox plan may have been sufficient for cellular cleanup. However, the increasing amount of toxins we are now exposed to calls for a more continuous approach. If we want to remove this waste from our bodies and build better wellness, detoxing has to be viewed as a lifestyle.   To cleanse these excess toxins that lead to unwanted health effects, we now must aid the body in their removal. This can be achieved in a few ways like making sure we sweat outside or in the sauna, adding detoxifying foods into our diets, and using proper supplementation.  Listen To Episode 121 As Dr. Minkoff Uncovers: How to build sustainable health given the poor conditions of the environment. What may be causing such a massive increase in autism and childhood cancer. The dangerous effects of heavy metal toxicity. Ways to avoid excess toxins and remove them from the body. How to remedy an amino acid deficiency. The pervasive issues that stem from poor gut health. Why detoxing should be an ongoing part of our diet and lifestyle. Why women should detox before pregnancy. How to maintain healthy levels of testosterone. How the body prioritizes the use of nutrients. Ways we can address a protein deficiency in the body. How we can influence our genetic expression through lifestyle. Why having a strong and clear life purpose can help us build sustainable health. Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Detoxification needs be a continuous part of our lifestyle. The current state of our environment and agricultural system are so polluted, that we have to take consistent actions to aid or bodies in the removal of toxins. It's important to make sure we consume adequate amounts of the essential amino acids, as well as provide our body what it needs to properly produce the non-essential. We have to figure out the health needs for our individual bodies and adjust our diet and lifestyle accordingly. Power Quotes From Dr. Minkoff "Use safe storage materials so unwanted toxins won't enter your food." - Dr. David Minkoff "The increasing amount of toxins we are now exposed to calls for a more continuous approach for detoxing our bodies." - Dr. David Minkoff "People have to be more intelligent about how we treat our bodies if our species is to survive and thrive." - Dr. David Minkoff "We have to figure out our individual health abnormalities, then adjust our lifestyle and nutrition to meet those needs." - Dr. David Minkoff  "It's really important to eat well, exercise, and have a strong life purpose to help other people."  - Dr. David Minkoff  "We have to take extra precautions to build sustainable health in such a toxic world." - Dr. David Minkoff About Dr. Minkoff Dr. David Minkoff graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement.

Emotions are meant to pass through; they're not meant to stay. If you avoid your emotions or try to forget about them through food, then they'll still continue to be with you.

The concept of Super Sister Fitness is that you get to choose to be the woman that helps and inspires other women and yourself to stay motivated, healthy, and get happy the right way no matter what and whatever that means to you." - Liz Germain "Knowing the immense pain that comes with losing someone you love pushed me more and more towards living a healthier life, which to me at the time just meant not being overweight and unhappy anymore.” - Liz Germain "We're so used to just pushing our emotions down because it's not normal to talk about feelings. It's been normal for us to pretend we're not feeling sadness or anger and just wear these masks instead. Fortunately, it is possible to learn new coping mechanisms for negative emotions that do come up." - Liz Germain "Strength training is essential in some way, shape, or form for everyone. You just can't avoid it. The body needs to be trained and it needs muscle." - Liz Germain "All you really need is to become committed to becoming your absolute best self; whatever that looks like for you. So, if the best version of yourself likes to indulge sometimes, that's fine. I still do that from time to time as well. Remember that your intentions don't have to be "all or nothing," but make decisions that help you feel happy.

Best of the best in physical intelligence: In today's fast paced society driven by the "hustle and grind" mentality, sleep is usually the first thing to go. With the demands of the modern world, what practical steps for sleep hygiene can we practice every day to get the most emotional, physical, and spiritual fulfillment we need to live life well? Everyone knows that a good night's sleep will make us feel better, but science is showing the impacts from chronic sleep deprivation are more far-reaching than we realize.

Power Quotes From The Show   "You have to achieve balance if you're going to have long-term ambition and productivity. It will not work forever if you just continue to push harder. It has to be an intentional shift in how you operate to make sure you're getting your work down and there is a break built in." - Jeff Sanders "It takes some time to get used to taking a break and not work when you love what you do. You have to have these intentional boundaries in place to make sure that your workplace can still operate when you're not there. That way, you can comfortably use your free time as your moment to replenish your energy and creativity. When someone doesn't take a break, that's when burnouts happen." - Jeff Sanders "There is a corollary between our work and our ability to set these healthy boundaries. This is so important because if we don't set these healthy boundaries and we pressure ourselves to work harder, the body will suffer. That's exactly what happened to me." - Josh Trent "I want to make sure that I'm eating and sleeping well along with working out every single week. I'm doing that because I see how it helps my productivity and improves my results. My work is better when I'm healthier. I have to put my health first to become the better version of myself."  - Jeff Sanders "Everything is a distraction. Every possible thing that we do or could interact with is a distraction from the one thing that we're trying to get done. If you know what the one thing is that you want to get done and identify your priorities, you can set boundaries to make sure you accomplish your task.

First of all, you need to know whether or not taping is right for the situation by following different algorithms. The initial step is deciding whether or not you have an area that's dysfunctional." - Dr. Greg Doerr "I'm the hugest placebo on the planet. I'm upbeat, happy, and smiley. I have this constant high energy that would actually put a patient in a positive, emotional state. When someone can transpire that type of excitement, happiness, and energy to a patient, that patient will want to get better." - Dr. Greg Doerr "Since taping is a neurological stimulation, there's no such thing as sham taping. Whether you put the tape from top to bottom, across, or on a diagonal, you're still going to touch the same exact skin receptors. So, the significant change between somebody who's sham taped for somebody who's taped, it's not going to be large enough to make taping look like a relevant form of treatment. That's why we need better research on taping." - Dr. Greg Doerr "All of our injuries start with poor mechanical posture. When we talk about proper posture, everyone immediately thinks about the spine. However, every single body part needs good posture: the shoulder, the hip, the knee, foot, and ankle. All of these have their own neutral posture position and we can assist them with taping techniques." - Dr. Greg Doerr "We cannot eliminate stress from our lives, but we can have proper outlets for it. Television is not a proper outlet, but exercise and music are proper outlets. Ask yourself if you're finding ways to actually relieve your stress so that you can create some kind of balance within your own brain. That is our greatest challenge; trying to find some type of homeostasis within our mental well-being." - Dr. Greg Doerr Links From Today's Show: About FAKTR of Functional Soft Tissue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s-Vez8QOjk Dr. Greg Doerr Twitter LinkedIn Functional Soft Tissue  Facebook Twitter YouTube Bergen Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation Center Facebook FAKTR - Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab FTMI - Scoliosis What Is The Graston Technique?

As women, when we try to mimic masculine energy, we mimic it incorrectly. When we think that we have to be a man to have power and control, we actually lose our power. We actually have a lot more power when we're being authentic and real. We're not men and we shouldn't try to operate as men. We're women and we should try to operate as the women that we are. – Michelle Norris How can you let go of negative thoughts in order to find inner strength and make an impact on this world?  JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST 20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE What can you do to become more comfortable with either your masculine or feminine energy in the workplace?

I used to operate from a place of control, but now I operate from a place of vision of what I want for the future of Paleo f(x); whatever that will look like.” – Michelle Norris “People have to feel comfortable with you in your leadership position. If they don't, then you have to be okay with that because as long as they're communicating with someone in your organization, it's okay.” – Michelle Norris “I deal with the constant televised media and information by not consuming it. Instead, I talk to people who I can connect with. If you can surround yourself with the people who will give you what you need, then you don't need television. Nobody needs it and it's very detrimental to life.” – Michelle Norris “You have this voice inside of you that can either tell you really great or horrible things. My inner voice told me that I wasn't good enough and that I should feel awful because of my actions. Then I realized that this voice wasn't serving me or anybody else. If I learn from what I've done in the past and I change what I've done, then I have to forgive myself and let it go. It doesn't matter if someone else doesn't forgive me because that's their deal.” – Michelle Norris “It doesn't serve me or anyone else to sit around and feel bad about myself and think about the guilt of my past actions. I can't change who I was. The only thing I can change is the future and I'm now at a point where I'm really learning and practicing self-love. Self-love and self-care are real and everyone should focus on them every single day.” – Michelle Norris LINKS FROM TODAY'S SHOW: Michelle Norris LinkedIn Instagram Twitter Paleo f(x) Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Paleo f(x) 2018 Paleo f(x) Blog Health f(x) Entrepreneur How a Successful Italian Chef Turned Her Health Around By Going Paleo Michelle Norris: Paleo Top Founder-Chef on the Instinct for Change Inside Paleo f(x) 2017 + 3 Finds For Busy People Paleo Conversations: Michelle Norris on Paleo f(x) 2016 What Would You Do if You Had No Limits?

The message of Your New Prime is about how to get out of complacency in middle age and how to start thriving forward in life. So often we get to our 40s and  50s and we think that this is it and we can't change anything. However, my message is that it doesn't have to be like that. As you age, your focus should be about thriving, not complacency. - Craig Cooper How can men continue to perform after they've reached their physical peak?

In this episode, we dive deep into men's health and wellness in order to help them learn how they can continue to perform at their best capacity for life. Your New Prime By Craig Cooper Your New Prime by Craig Cooper - Feel great and perform at your best in the boardroom, weight room, bedroom, and beyond with this indispensable health and wellness guide: Your New Prime debunks current thinking about men’s health and shows how every man can continue to operate at his peak at any age. Getting older may be inevitable, but in Your New Prime, serial entrepreneur and men’s health expert, Craig Cooper, shows men that they don’t have to accept the “natural” aging process. Based on the latest scientific research and Cooper’s personal experience warding off diabetes, preventing cancer, and naturally increasing his own testosterone, Your New Prime is a comprehensive guide to the questions every man has as he ages. Tailored specifically for the “New Primers,” men forty years old and up, the book covers a wide range of vital topics—from improving sexual health and the impact of decreasing testosterone to proper nutrition, preventing memory loss, surviving the “mid-life crisis,” and achieving peak physical fitness. Your New Prime provides an indispensable 30-day program designed to help you lose weight, boost energy, and transform eating habits. Divided into easy-to-navigate sections, the book also contains essential information about how to influence “epigenetic” traits and reverse the effects of aging, while quizzes, audits, charts, tables, and callouts help readers determine and address their specific personal needs. Practical, honest, and vitally informative, Your New Prime details a lifelong strategy for maximum health—and will help any man perform his best, no matter what his age. Listen To Episode 166 As Craig Cooper Uncovers: His multiple health scares and bouts of inflammation growing up and how he didn't allow that to hold him back from living a healthy life. How he became so passionate about men's health and helping others with their own wellness struggles. Why prostate cancer shouldn't be considered an "old man's disease." Why there's not a huge focus on men's health compared to women's health in the news or TV Media in the US in comparison to other countries like Australia. How to recreate intimacy with your partner and reactivate your physical relationship. Why pills, gels, and patches that promise to fix libido and raise testosterone levels will end up doing more harm than good in the long end. How the chemicals in fragrance, deodorant, and shampoos can negatively affect our bodies and lead to disease. The Porny Dilemma - how the amount of porn that people are watching is affecting their brains and relationships. How the digital age and online dating is affecting the new generation's relationships and their commitment to other people. Why having a tribe is so vital as we age towards our 50s and 60s. How social interactions and connections in the US compare to other countries where there's much more evidence that people have a tribe. His thoughts on intermittent fasting and how it can help increase testosterone production. The vital importance of sleep for a consistent and increased amount of testosterone levels as well as weight loss. How to fast while still keeping up with your caloric intake and maintaining enough muscle mass The proper way to measure for pre-diabetes and how to test your blood sugar levels. Why blood sugar is an important indicator for illnesses later on in life such as dementia. The Morning Syndrome when your body floods your blood with insulin and why you have to wait 45 minutes to an hour after you wake up to measure your insulin levels. Why he chose to be on the board for the Cognitive Health Institute and why it's so important for him. Why Alzheimer's is now referred to as Type 3 Diabetes and how healthy, fatty foods are so vital for the brain-gut connection. How turmeric and the Ketogenic Diet can help us be healthy and ward off disease, illness, and inflammation. Power Quotes From The Show “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” - Calvin Coolidge "As we age, our focus on life changes and we strive to stay in the game. Most of our injuries happen from silly accidents like tripping over a shoelace or losing our balance and falling. It's so important that we focus on the ability to put ourselves in a physical condition that allows us to participate in life at a certain level." - Craig Cooper "We're victims of the media telling us that our low energy, joint pain, and low libido is a natural part of aging that can be fixed with a pill or gel. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way. There's a massive amount of lifestyle changes that you can make which can get you back on track again." - Craig Cooper "Anything that activates better heart health will also activate better sexual health. For nutrition in general, the Mediterranean diet is probably the best diet for that. Too much or too little of anything can be counterproductive. Specifically, the amount of protein, fats, carbohydrates can affect sexual health and testosterone." - Craig Cooper "The two main naturopathic prescriptions for natural testosterone production are sleep and weight loss. Every single study supports men getting more sleep; at least seven hours every night. If you're ten pounds overweight, you'll get a 10% increase in testosterone once you lose the weight."  - Craig Cooper Links From Today's Show: Craig Cooper  Facebook  Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Your New Prime Official Website Your New Prime by Craig Cooper The New Prime Blog Prostate.net Cognitive Health Institute What APOE Means For Your Health Loneliness And Social Isolation Could Be Deadlier Than Obesity 10 Foods To Boost Nitric Oxide The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.

When we cannot love, accept, and fully embrace everything about ourselves, we're always going to find that one thing that sabotages us." - Heather Hemmer "Anytime you have an emotional charge and you reach for something - whether it's food, alcohol, or even shopping, it's important that you notice your habits. If you're doing something habitually like eating out of boredom or when you want a distraction, it shows that you have an addiction. Then, you have to go back and discover why you're eating like this in the first place." - Heather Hemmer "When you start to eat healthy, your body is going to do things that you're not comfortable with and you're going to feel physically ill. You'll be mentally frustrated and feel irritable. A lot of people find excuses for why a detox isn't working for them, but letting your body go through those symptoms will give you a lot of clarity about your health." - Heather Hemmer "You actually start to see yourself when you look in a mirror and you talk to yourself. That's when you're really reflecting on who you are and you can finally understand that you're the most important person in your entire life because you'll always have yourself. That thought process can really shift your perspective on life." - Heather Hemmer "Stress can be highly inflammatory and  perhaps you're eating the best you can, but nothing else is shifting and you still have gut problems. Unless you look at all the other aspects of your life, you're going to miss something and you're not going to feel your best." - Heather Hemmer Links From Today's Show: Heather Hemmer Instagram The 30 Clean Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Google+ The 30 Clean Coaches The 30 Clean vs. The Whole 30 The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Oprah's SuperSoul Sunday Quest Nutrition WFR 150 Dr. Joe Anderson & Andrea Duchonovic of LEVL WFR 140 Chris Kresser WFR 131 Drew Manning WFR 129 Gretchen Rubin WFR 088 Dan Pardi WFR 072 David Zappasodi WFR 071 Melissa Hartwig About Heather Hemmer Heather Hemmer is the Co-Founder of The 30 Clean as well as a Certified Health & Life Coach, Fitness Trainer, and Motivational Speaker.

She understands that changing deeply rooted habits is not always easy and will look different for everyone. Through her own health journey, she knows that when you have a health-advocate and coach and are ready to commit, change is possible.

What we can do to be more mindful and present with everyone we come into contact with every day. Taking Breath, Balance, and Behavior and using them in programs to help people begin working on their breathing to help change those who are in pain. Power Quotes From The Show "Fitness goes well past the movements, tissues, and joints. It's about behavioral health, but how do we even begin creating good habits? A lot of people will get burned out because they think being fit means going all out every time they exercise." - Anders Varner "Even though I've been meditating for over three years, I still struggle with focusing on my breath. That's what makes me come back to it because it's such a skill to be able to slow down and be in the moment. The slower you breathe, the better you get at it and that in itself is a challenge." - Anders Varner "Meditating really helps to peel back the layers that allow you to uncover ultimate truths, what motivates you, where you want your life to go, and how to create your next path. You don't want to attach yourself to the next big thing that comes along or continue to be someone who is unhealthy. Work through some of your stories and then rebuild from there." - Anders Varner "When I opened my business, I lost all of my friends that I used to hang out with at the gym. I went from about 300 to 4 friends because I had to change. I had to move on from my old life and recreate everything about me. Everyone has that opportunity to change; you just have to be comfortable with your own growth and know that you have to keep going so that you can be authentic to yourself." - Anders Varner "Pain is a response that happens because something is not right. The brain doesn't have enough mechanisms to handle those dysfunctional movement patterns or inflammation so it sends the pain signal. Many people need a medical doctor, but most people just need to relax and get rid of all the negative energy in their lives. They need to slow down, unwind, and focus on their breathing as a way to heal." - Anders Varner Links From Today's Show:   Anders Varner Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Yin Strength Training The Low Back Fix Facebook Twitter YouTube Movement Rx Facecbook Twitter Instagram YouTube The Performance Lifestyle by Anders Varner Warrior by Theresa Larson and Alan Eisenstock Science Agrees: Five Facts to Fix Your Lower Back Scaling and Modifying Workouts for Lower Back Pain San Diego Athletics Whole Life Challenge The Headspace App The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast The Life Extension Nutrition Center WFR 160 Petteri Lahtela of Oura Ring WFR 134 Dr. Andy Galpin WFR 105 Dr. John Sullivan About Anders Varner A San Diego-based movement specialist with more than twenty years of training and coaching experience, Anders Varner is the co-founder of The Low Back Fix.

Power Quotes From The Show   "On one side, we have technology that's making life easier. On the other side, we still have to remain conscience about our freewill and choice." - Josh Trent "Training the human body often gets overlooked and it's a stepping stone. People just aren't connected to their bodies like they should be. They want to go all out at the gym or try the latest trendy informational workout just because so-and-so said they had great results. A fit tech device isn't going to give you overnight results. You can use it to aide you in your mission, but it's still your own wellness journey." - Justin Andrews "Wearable devices give us so much great information, but sometimes it can be too much and it can be a distraction from our health goals. Just because you use a wearable, is it really going to make you change your life? As Dani Pardi has said, "Knowing is not the same thing as doing." Actually, if you know and you don't do, it's the same as not knowing." - Josh Trent "The data from our wearbles is like a check-in mirror. It forces us to see how we're showing up and that's where the real change occurs. If you want a real life change, just checking in with what you did yesterday to know how you can improve today can be enough." - Josh Trent "You can measure sleep, but what are all the other variables that are contributing to it like stress? Maybe on paper your sleep looks good, but you have to consider all these other factors. Once we look at all of that, we can create the best plan to move forward." - Justin Andrews Links From Today's Show: Consumer Technology Association Show (CES) Facebook Twitter Instagram  YouTube Justin Andrews Facebook Instagram Linkedin Axon  Mind Pump Media WFR 124 Justin Andrews & Yaron Hadad WFR 128 Mind Pump 2018 FitnessTech Summit  NuCalm SleepScore Max Yaron Hadad The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan by Dr. Michael Breus ResMed Fitbit Healbe GoBe2 Joove Red Light Therapy Halo Sport Bigger Leaner Stronger by Mike Matthews WFR 162 Dr. Jordan Shallow & Dr. Jordan Jiunta WFR 160 Petteri Lahtela of Oura Ring WFR 159 Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste WFR 150 Dr. Joe Anderson & Andrea Duchonovic of LEVL WFR 140 Chris Kresser WFR 134 Andy Galpin WFR 088 Dan Pardi WFR 011 Ariel Garten of Muse About Justin Andrews Justin Andrews has an incredible passion to disrupt the personal training industry and create ground breaking programs and tools that fitness professionals and clients alike can benefit from. The fitness industry in general needs a massive face lift to speak more to the generation growing up with a more advanced technology tool kit. Justin’s approach is to create programs that utilize technology as it advances and cut through the millions of options people face every day when seeking specific information relating to their fitness needs. The great thing about where we are today is how easy it is to access information, the bad part about accessing all this information is how much misinformation is out there to weed through. As a health and fitness professional with a proven track record here in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Justin will keep working tirelessly to keep people educated and connected to quality personal trainers long into the future.
