You need people that have already experienced what you're preparing for because they've seen the bigger picture and know how to help you." - Dr. Jordan Shallow "There's no such thing as discipline; there's just love. You'll naturally gravitate towards what you love to do more. That's the deeper core mission; to find something in this world that you care about so much. Find your passion and live out your dream." - Dr. Jordan Shallow "If you want to do something like lifting heavier weights; first start by learning about it. Just begin by learning something small about it today and then something else tomorrow. Then, try it out and maybe you'll be horrible at it, but then you'll be better at it the next day." - Dr. Jordan Jiunta "Take just half an hour out of your day to do something that's going to help you become stronger and live a longer life. In that sense, you're doing a selfish act for a very unselfish reason so that you can be there for your family and loved ones for many years to come." - Dr. Jordan Jiunta "The age, ability, reason, or lifestyle of each participant in a CrossFit class doesn't matter because it's not just about you. Rather, it's a collective group of people who are experiencing the same cycle of emotions in a class. That's what builds a community in the world of CrossFit." - Dr. Jordan Shallow Links From Today's Show: Dr. Jordan Shallow The Muscle Doc: Integrative Performance Therapy Instagram YouTube Twitter Dr. Jordan Jiunta The Functional Chiro Facebook Instagram Twitter Pre-Script Facebook Instagram YouTube The RX'D RADIO Podcast Instagram Boss Barbell Club Instagram Boss of Norgal Winter Championship February 24, 2018 Sign Up Dynamic Contraction Technique by Nic Bartolotta Biotensegrity Gluconeogenesis The Sports Genes by David Epstein Anatomy Trains by Tom Myers The Buckminster Fuller Institute Meet CrossFit's Fittest Man on Earth - Rich Froning WFR #140 Chris Kresser About Dr. Jordan Shallow Dr Jordan Shallow is a graduate of the 135th class of Palmer College of Chiropractic West, but his passion for human movement go far beyond the classroom.

Power Quotes From The Show "It's become such a habit to just take our phones wherever we are because we haven't developed the routines around disconnecting from it. Texting is like a new toy. Older generations haven't really developed the habits to use the phone as often, but younger generations are already becoming accustomed to it. We're in this transition period of playing with technology and we haven't yet learned how to develop good behaviors and habits around it." - Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste "Whether we like it or not, cell phones have become so ingrained into everything that we do each day. It's our access to people, source of information, and portable brain. When we put it in that perspective, we can really start to appreciate how it's been designed to make life easier for us. Instead of seeing it as a burden, it holds everything from work documents to memories." - Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste "High value actions are all about you recognizing the key tasks that are important for you to accomplish each day so that you feel like you've completed something and have created value in your life. High value actions don't have to be big; they can be very small. Based on what you have to offer, focus on completing the tasks that will create the greatest value for you in your life and career."  - Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste "Technology can be very uplifting. The more we share what we learn and take the time to explore technology's potential without feeling fear and resentment, the greater the opportunity we have to grow. There are so many different ways to teach each other about wellness by being interconnected." - Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste Links From Today's Show: Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste Twitter Facebook LinkedIn YouTube 2BalanceU Twitter Instagram Evolving Digital Self Podcast 2BalanceU Blog Transition to BE-ing@Work in Practice BE-ing@Work Digital Self Mastery Ray Kurzweil Why Meditation and Mindfulness Training Is One of the Best Industries for Starting a Business in 2017 Instead of Detention, These Students Get Meditation Evernote The Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute  CES Conference 2018 Wearable Technology Summit About Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste   Heidi Forbes Öste is a Social Strategy Advisor and Trainer, a Visual Practitioner and author of both BE-ing@Work and Digital Self Mastery.  She has over 20 years experience consulting in public and private sector on strategic use of new technologies; education technology, international marketing strategy, knowledge management and community building.   She is a social entrepreneur with a passion for connecting people globally for building and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships.  As part of her doctoral studies in Human and Organizational Systems, she has done research on Leadership in the New Social Paradigm applying field work in this area.   She has a passion for humanizing technology and strategic use of social tools for individuals & organizations both online & face-to-face.

Power Quotes From The Show "There's always going to be work to do in a relationship, but you get to choose who you want to do it with. You and your partner have to learn how to be in conflict together. So, if doing that work and being in conflict together always brings out the worst in both of you, that tells you something about your relationship." - Amy Baglan "I've always had this desire that people show up as their authentic self rather than put on a front or be superficial. I can't connect with others when they're not being true about themselves." - Amy Baglan "I always urge people to look at how a potential partner acts and not pay attention to what they say. The way that people show up in the world, their behavior, and how they treat other people including yourself cannot be filtered by words." - Amy Baglan "Dating apps are almost like a trigger happy, fast food style atmosphere where there's almost too many options and choices. This is teaching younger generations that this is all there is. They learn that people can be disposable and that the quantity of connections over quality is better." - Amy Baglan "If all a person does is share pictures of selfies on a dating app and they only care about what their body looks like, then they probably don't value anything else about themselves. If that's the case, then I certainly don't think they're going to value much else about myself either." - Amy Baglan Links From Today's Show: MeetMindful Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Amy Baglan: LinkedIn Twitter Amy Baglan - Mindful Dating on the Untangle Podcast Mindful Dating is Now a Thing - And This Buzzy New App is Here to Prove It 5 Rules for Mindful Dating & Relationship-Intention Setting this Holiday Season by Amy Baglan Variable Rewards: Want To Hook Users?

Power Quotes From The Show   "I'm in the 'moment' when I'm unconditionally present. By that, I have a string of several moments put together in which I feel unconditional acceptance and love. That could be acceptance of someone else, of a situation, or of myself. However, if I'm not experiencing unconditional acceptance and love of myself, then I cannot give it to others." - Adam Markel "We're not taught how to love ourselves and there's no manual to follow to understand what unconditional self-love looks like. So, we become programmed to see ourselves as either incomplete or unworthy based on how we're judged or observing different examples." - Adam Markel "Intimacy isn't really about the sensual part of the relationship. It's actually about you being vulnerable and feeling comfortable with your true, authentic self. Too many people believe that a relationship will fix them and make them feel whole. We cannot put that burden on someone else; it's our own responsibility to make ourselves feel complete." - Adam Markel "We express gratitude as a part of our family rituals, to each other, and as much as possible every day. As far as I know, it's the highest form of spiritual practice and it's a blessing to experience that in my relationship with my wife." - Adam Markel "The things that you try to hide are the thorns in the relationship. When you try to control or sedate them, you begin walking on eggshells to try to avoid the pain. However, pain is a part of life; it's just another thing in the universe. If the pain controls you, then how can you be present when you're trying to avoid it?" - Adam Markel Links From Today's Show: Adam Markel Facebook Start My PIVOT Community Facebook Group Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Pivot: The Art and Science of Reinventing Your Career and Life by Adam Markel Success from the Heart by Adam Markel The Conscious PIVOT Podcast with Adam Markel The Conscious PIVOT Podcast - Resilience & Wellness Intelligence with Josh Trent – Show #29 RiseUp: The Movie Dr. Joe Dispenza Gary Vaynercheck The Untethered Soul by Michael A.

My brain changed when I changed the way that I ate. Fat will stabilize your brain and it's a very nice thing; especially if you're subject to blood sugar swings and moods. - Anna Vocino Have you ever found yourself obsessing over a food label by reading and analyzing every single ingredient listed on the package? What ever happened to enjoying whole, nutritious meals that you can cook at home with simple ingredients like vegetables and meat? When did everything become so complicated?

Anna, who is Celiac and has been gluten free since 2002, discusses how she was able to begin following a healthy diet while also eating delicious foods to help heal her body and stay strong. Discover why the phrase, "If you have your health, then you have everything," is true on so many levels. The weight loss will come, but if that's your only focus, then the real health benefits will be harder to find. Eat Happy | Eat Happy Too by Anna Vocino Eat Happy: Gluten Free, Grain Free, Low Carb Recipes Made from Real Foods For A Joyful Life 154 delicious grain-free, gluten-free recipes that are also free of any processed sugars. There are meats, fish, sides, soups, starters, casseroles, slow cooker recipes, breakfast dishes, and even desserts to satisfy any sweets craving you might have, all with virtually no sugar. If you are low carb, paleo, are wanting to keep autoimmune issues at bay, or just want to lose extra weight, Eat Happy gives you comfort food where you won’t miss the sugars or grains so your body and brain can feel happy from eating real foods. In 2012, after almost ten years of being gluten free due to celiac, Anna Vocino found she was gaining weight faster than a tick on a labradoodle. Turns out the culprit wasn’t overeating or too much fat in the diet, but the pesky sugars and grains in all those gluten free comfort foods. When Anna started podcasting with Fitness Confidential author Vinnie Tortorich, she adapted her entire way of eating to do what Tortorich coined: NSNG—No Sugars No Grains. Sure enough, the weight dropped off, the inflammation due to celiac finally calmed down, and for the first time in her life, she learned what it meant to be truly happy about food. All of Anna’s recipes are delicious, easy to make, and so satisfying, you won’t even know you’re eating healthy. Craving rich, decadent chocolate pots with fresh cream that are delicious but not fattening? Wanna make a grain-free pizza crust that actually helps you lose weight? Dying for pancakes, but you’ve committed to avoiding carbs? How about hearty shepherd’s pie, tater tots, sizzling ginger rice, all made with cauliflower instead of high carb rice and potatoes?

Power Quotes From The Show "The idea of 'letting go of weight' has always been a vanity trigger for me. The real benefits are the health benefits and being happier by stabilizing my brain. Losing weight is everything to people, but it's really not. Losing the weight is the second benefit that comes after enjoying life more." - Anna Vocino "When I get emotionally involved, I just want to munch on something like almonds to help me deal with my feelings. That helps me calm down, but then I still have to isolate and deal with the emotional matter on its own." - Anna Vocino "Eat Happy is a recipe book that is intended to include really yummy food that is easy to make at home. Whether you are gluten free, low-carb, or grain free, it's for everyone." - Anna Vocino "Take things easy and be nicer to yourself if you go ahead and have a treat like gluten-free cookies. We have a tendency to want to beat ourselves up about our choices, but we need to calm down. If you beat yourself up too often, you're just going to end up binge eating because you're so emotionally involved about your food choices. " - Anna Vocino "Don't forget to increase your healthy fat intake if you decide to follow the No Sugars, No Grains lifestyle. People don't eat enough fat with NSNG because they're afraid they'll gain weight and then they complain about being hungry. Don't be afraid of fat; you have to get full by eating fats." - Anna Vocino Links From Today's Show: Anna Vocino Facebook Anna Vocino’s Eat Happy Facebook Group!

Power Quotes From The Show "When it comes to fitness, you can either use it or lose it. If you're not using your muscles and helping your body grow and get strong, then you're just dwindling away. What kind of exercise you decide do doesn't even matter. Go for a walk, on a bike ride, or use a jump rope for a couple of minutes. It doesn't matter." - Vinnie Tortorich "You shouldn't constantly cycle in and out of a Ketogenic Diet because that creates a lot of acidity in your system which can lead to problems like gallstones. Once you're in, you're in. You don't want to go crazy and have a carb night once you decide to get off the Keto Diet." - Vinnie Tortorich "Don't sleep in every morning. Instead, get up and get moving. Whether you have something to do the next day or not, get up and create something to do - even on the weekend. Have a healthy breakfast with some protein like a whole egg and then do something physical. You don't have to do tons of exercise first thing in the morning, but maybe some stretching or a light walk." - Vinnie Tortorich "Everyone has their own journey, but pretty much everyone just gives up after they fail. They don't see failure as another step towards success. If you think like that, then you're missing out because no one ever succeeds on the first try. We need to learn from our own failures." - Vinnie Tortorich Links From Today's Show: Vinnie Tortorich Facebook Twitter YouTube Fitness Confidential by Vinnie Tortorich and Dean Lorey The Fitness Confidential Podcast Fitness Confidential Episode 956 - Josh Trent on Emotion-Driven Eating  No Sugar No Grains (NSNG) Frequently Asked Questions Fitness Confidential: The Weight That Protects You Will Kill You - Episode 884 Being Gluten Free and F*** Quinoa The French Paradox: Lessons for Other Countries Vinnie Tortorich on the Adam Carolla Show What the Health trailer Vinnie Tortorich on the Oprah Winfrey Network - Where Are They Now?

In Wellness Force Radio #153, Ali Reti of RetiFit joins us to share how she activated a life she loves and how she's now helping other people do the same through health and wellness. A recovering perfectionist, as well as former national fitness trainer turned life coach, public speaker, and podcast host of the The Ali Reti Podcast: Activate A Life You Love, Ali understands that completely changing life around is no easy task. However, if you take small steps and focus on daily achievements, anything is truly possible. The Activate A Life You Love Event with Ali Reti The Activate a Life You Love event is a one of a kind immersion experience designed to dissolve the hidden blocks keeping you stuck, accelerate your success, and finally, thrive in your life’s unique purpose. No distractions. No information overload. Focus, immersion, and implementation. Let’s create traction in your life, in your career, and in your relationships. Listen To Episode 153 As Ali Reti Uncovers: What she learned from her parents' experiences and challenges as entrepreneurs. Why you should focus more on progress over perfection. The power of small wins over time to make your progress last. How showing up and being present will keep you on a steady path. What you can do to make yourself more comfortable with the future and unknown by being in touch with your spirituality. Where Ali's past drive for perfectionism came from in the first place. How can you be vulnerable from a healthy standpoint? Why it's normal to be tested by life and the universe when you're trying to improve and move on up with life. How shame and guilt can hold you back from reaching out for the help that you need and why you should reach out to someone if you're struggling. Dealing with the great unknown and anxious thoughts about the future. The power of finding the daily joys and knowing that something cannot just happen overnight. How she worked as an Uber driver to stay financially secure while working hard towards her career goal. Why a dream job might not be all that you thought it would be and those who you once idolized aren't what you thought they were. The difference between taking massive action and the more calm, center-focused, and inspired action. Why no one single method of discovering inspired action exists because it's different for each person. Different ways to discover your own inspired action as long as it resonates with you. Shutting down the negative 'monkey mind' voice in your head. Power Quotes From The Show "Fitness and nutrition are both very important, but there are so many different aspects to our lives such as our relationships, home life, or work. So, if those things not going well and we're not happy, then everything else will suffer." - Ali Reti "I believe that our intuition will always guide us to exactly where we need to be."  - Ali Reti "I cope with anxious thoughts about the unknown by telling myself that if it's not this, then it's something better. I trust that if this is not what I'm supposed to be doing, then I can't even fathom how amazing my life will be with my next decision." - Ali Reti "As humans, we're meant to collaborate and go through experiences together. Whatever you're experiencing right now, you're not actually meant to go through it alone. Know that and be brave by reaching out to someone for help." - Ali Reti "When you put 'good' out into the world, that comes back to you. When you give to others, you have no idea how that will come back, but it will certainly impact your life." - Ali Reti Links From Today's Show: Ali Reti Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube LinkedIn The Ali Reti Podcast: Activate A Life You Love Episode 76 - Coping with the Unknown The Law of Attraction Wellbridge Brené Brown On Air With Ella Les Brown - The Chinese Bamboo Tree (Lesson on Patience) Tony Robbins Finding Joe Past Life Regression EPIC Bar RXBAR WFR #129 - Gretchen Rubin WFR #127 - Ella Lucas-Averett WFR #055 - Gay and Katie Hendricks About Ali Reti A recovering perfectionist, Ali Reti is intimately familiar with how losing sight of the forest for the trees can cause crippling stress and anxiety on a regular basis.
