Although it's difficult to break the cycle of unhealthy eating, we can learn to enjoy fueling our body in a more nutritious way. Begin to focus on all of the benefits that come from living a healthy and energetic lifestyle. Keeping those thoughts front of mind will help us make better choices with our nutrition. Developing more discipline will have a massive impact on what we accomplish in our lifetime.  We can begin doing this with small actionable steps every day. Studies have shown that simply making our bed each morning causes us to be 4-5 times more likely to achieve other daily goals. Start by taking 1 simple action in any area of life where you want to progress. This will build the momentum necessary for massive improvement. The first step to a successful Ketogenic diet is giving the body time to adapt to that style of eating. This transition into Ketosis can generally take between 30-60 days. Once the body is used to running on ketones, we can begin experimenting with the different amounts and types of carbs we consume to help us discover what is optimal for our unique body. Power Quotes From Drew Manning "The Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit journey completely changed the way I viewed my client's struggles." - Drew Manning "The physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual are all connected. When one area is lacking, the others will suffer as well." - Drew Manning "I found that being overweight was very emotionally challenging." - Drew Manning "Discipline will actually create more freedom in our lives." - Drew Manning "Setting up forms of accountability will help us overcome procrastination." - Drew Manning "Although it tends to be more challenging, it's possible to do the ketogenic diet when you're vegetarian or vegan." - Drew Manning "A large part of feeling the 'Keto Flu' comes from an imbalance in our electrolytes." - Drew Manning "I think it's beneficial for everyone to become their own self-experimentation, and find out what's optimal for their unique body." - Drew Manning Drew's Book Drawing from the lessons and insights of his breakout website, Fit2Fat2Fit.com, personal trainer Drew Manning delivers the story of his quest to go from fit to fat to fit again in one year in order to better understand the weight-loss struggles of his clients and the online community.

Today's episode reveals the breakthrough weight-loss device "Modius," from Neurovalens. This non-invasive wearable headband is helping to reduce body fat and increase wellness through activation of the vestibular nerve. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Traditionally, wearables have focused on tracking and monitoring. They can tell us things like how many steps we've taken, and the body's heart rate and calorie intake. But this new technology with Modius works by activating the parts of our brain that will dictate how our system holds onto fat. It creates a sensation in the mind of physical activity which will shift our metabolism and help to release excess weight. On this podcast, we talk with Tom Bilyeu, co-founder of Quest Nutrition and host of the "Impact Theory" podcast, along with Dr. Jason Mckeown, CEO of Neurovalens. They explain how combined with proper diet and exercise, Modius may control how the wellness and medical communities approach obesity in the years to come.   Listen To Episode 130 As We Uncover: How to control fat loss through vestibular nerve activation Tom's fascination with neuroscience and its impact on wellness Why Tom decided to join forces with Neurovalence Jason's path that led him to study vestibular stimulation with Dr. Ramachandran The meaning behind the name "Modius" How the hypothalamus helps to control our level of body fat Why vestibular stimulation will cause a metabolic shift in our body The changes Tom can notice since wearing the Modius headband How the body uses insulin and leptin to regulate our weight and appetite Jason's health transformation after using Modius and adjusting his lifestyle The cognitive benefits that come from movement and exercise How the vestibular system can impact depression and anxiety The relation between the vagus and vestibular nerves How vestibular stimulation affects our sleep Why the effects of Modius won't lead to a dependency on the device How a gratitude practice can help reduce stress levels Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Weight loss can be challenging for many individuals. Sometimes even with proper diet and exercise, we can still hold onto fat. There is an ideal weight where the brain believes it should keep the body, and this level increases with a sedentary lifestyle and high-calorie diet. Through neurostimulation with the Modius, we can help change this determined set point for our body's fat storage and begin to release weight more easily. Don't be closed-minded to technology empowering human potential. Forward-thinking innovation is no longer a convenience, but a necessity in the wellness world. We must continuously develop our body's intuition to help regulate our health and these new tools and technologies give us an upper-hand in the process. The Modius device isn't the "end all be all" for weight loss, but it's being shown to help us get closer to our goals. We still have to adjust our lifestyle and take steps to increase our physical and emotional wellness if we want to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Power Quotes From Tom and Jason   "Walking into anything with skepticism is always the wise answer." - Tom Bilyeu "I have a true passion for how electronics and technology can improve our wellness." - Dr. Jason Mckeown "Sometimes there is a gap between the on-paper science and the real world results." - Tom Bilyeu  "Tracking and monitoring our actions will soon become a much larger part of our wellness." - Tom Bilyeu "Vestibular stimulation has been shown to decrease stress-related cortisol levels." - Dr. Jason Mckeown "The influence of the nervous system on the mind is profound." - Dr. Jason Mckeown "Perspective and gratitude are an essential part of our wellness." - Josh Trent "My initial response to failure is work harder, learn more, and get better."  - Tom Bilyeu About MODIUS Most people would love to lose a few pounds and get a lean and healthy body. MODIUS is a revolutionary new careable technology which helps you reduce body weight and gain a leaner body. MODIUS is cutting edge technology developed by neuroscientists based in San Diego, California. It works by stimulating a part of the brain that has been shown to naturally influence body weight and help achieve a leaner body.

Today's episode reveals the hidden aspects of our nature that determine how we respond to the expectations of ourselves and others. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST On this podcast, we discover Gretchen Rubin's new book "The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How To Make Your Life Better (And Other People's Lives Better, Too)" These 4 Tendencies give us a framework for how we react to the internal and external demands in our lives.  When we better understand these patterns in our behavior, we gain immense control over our actions and decisions. Although our personality type may be deeply ingrained,  we can benefit from knowing these predictable behavioral patterns and set ourselves up for success. Listen to Wellness Force Radio 129 as Gretchen shares her insight from decades of research in happiness, habits, and so much more. Listen To Episode 129 As Gretchen Uncovers: The personality framework that determines how we respond to expectations Character traits of the Obliger, Questioner, Rebel, and Upholder How to gain a deeper understanding of our actions The benefit from identifying these predictable patterns of our behavior The strengths and weaknesses of our different tendencies How we can fine-tune our self-awareness Why others may not see the world as we do Ways to set our internal and external framework up for success How these personality types play out in our relationships Ways to understand how our behavior fits into predictable patterns How we can avoid disempowering language Why Gretchen prefers the newspaper over televised news How to get the most out of yourself and others How to set up the accountability we need to meet an inner expectation The Four Tendencies in a nutshell: The Four Tendencies Upholders respond readily to outer and inner expectations Questioners question all expectations; they’ll meet an expectation if they think it makes sense Rebels resist all expectations, outer and inner alike Obligers meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet expectations they impose on themselves Click Here To Take The Four Tendencies Quiz Top 3 Takeaways From Gretchen These personality traits may be deeply ingrained, but the great thing is we don't need to try and change who we are. Just by knowing our tendencies, we can set ourselves up for success. If you fall into the large category of Obligers, remember to be mindful of Obliger Rebellion. This is when the demands and expectations from others begin to overwhelm us, and we get to the point of burnout and resentment. Typically, this happens when the Obliger feels used or taken advantage of, which they typically are.  Set healthy boundaries for your external accountability. It's important to know that not everyone thinks like we do. And sometimes we can get upset when people don't live up to our expectations. There are times when we can't quite comprehend why people do the things they do. If we understand the personality traits and nature of others, we can remove judgment and enhance our impact, interactions, and relationships. Power Quotes From Gretchen Rubin   "The Four Tendencies help us illuminate the hidden aspects of our nature." - Gretchen Rubin "Perfectionism isn't about standards, it's about anxiety." - Gretchen Rubin "I believe these tendencies are hard-wired and genetically determined." - Gretchen Rubin "Your upbringing and culture affect how your tendency is expressed." - Gretchen Rubin "An upholder doesn't need to say "yes" to everything." - Gretchen Rubin "Obligers can find accountability by thinking about their future self." - Gretchen Rubin "It doesn't matter what you should be able to do, there's only what works for you." - Gretchen Rubin "When a Rebel pairs up at work or in romance, it's almost always with an Obliger." - Gretchen Rubin "The language we use leads to dramatically different results." - Gretchen Rubin Gretchen's New Book: "The Four Tendencies" During her multi-book investigation into understanding human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question "How do I respond to expectations?" we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively. More than 600,000 people have taken her online quiz, and managers, doctors, teachers, spouses, and parents already use the framework to help people make significant, lasting change. With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative.

128 Mind Pump: In a tech-driven world with more connection and media distraction than ever before, how can we balance these forces so they assist in our wellness journey? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST This level of technology and social integration is still in its infancy, and we already see some of the physical and psychological impacts. Our constant distractions make it challenging to focus and enjoy the present moment, and the mainstream media constantly promotes fear and drama. Studies are also showing the links between mobile phone addiction with depression and anxiety. These new technologies have far reaching benefits and also unintended consequences. It's the conscious choice of how we use and incorporate them into our lives that will dictate their impact. In this highly digital and connected age, we have to ask ourselves an important question: How can we develop a healthy use of technology so it enhances our productivity and wellness? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and more with the team from Mind Pump Media, Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, and Justin Andrews.  We touch on great topics such as the future of group exercise, the benefits of getting in nature, and how to increase our emotional intelligence. Listen To Episode 128 As We Uncover: Sales stories from 24-hour fitness Mistakes made by beginner trainers Interview styles and how they prep for shows The rapid speed at which technology is changing the world and our habits The addictive properties of technology How apps and social media are engineered to get us hooked How new forms of stimulation chemically alter the brain Why mindfulness will dictate our habits How the ego thrives and survives off drama and negativity Predictions for the future of Virtual Reality How we can stop identifying with thoughts that don't empower us Creating sustainable change by getting in touch with our true motives How our diet can affect skin care Why we need to partition time for self-care The unhealthy ways we choose to numb ourselves from problems Why we must avoid getting stuck in a single workout routine Finding the balance between intense and relaxing workouts The rejuvenating effects of spending time in nature How the fitness space is beginning to gamify workouts Top 3 Takeaways From The Episode Our ego loves to feed into drama and negativity.  Unfortunately, the media is made up of 99% bad news.  We have to understand that our consumption drives the creators, and what we consume is what they produce.  Try to fill your mind with positive content that shows us what is possible. We can find tremendous emotional healing when we stop identifying with our thoughts.  Slow down and try to observe, without letting your mind consume you or become who you are. Exercise has to be viewed as an investment in our health.  When we put the time in, we get exponential hours of energy and productivity back.  Partition out time on a regular basis for self-care. Power Quotes   "Mindfulness is the root cause of our eating and lifestyle habits." - Sal Di Stefano "It's thought, then feeling, then action." - Josh Trent "It's going to be a challenge removing our culture's addiction to technology." - Justin Andrews "We must examine our true motives to discover the root of deeper issues." - Adam Schafer "While building our life and business, our emotional health can't be lost along the way ." - Josh Trent "The endorphin rush from social media is being compared to that of drug addiction." - Adam Schafer "Deception in the media has always been around, but it's getting much more creative." - Sal Di Stefano "First, work on the relationship with yourself, then with food, and then with exercise."- Adam Schafer The "Mind Pump" Podcast MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more...

In our fast paced and demanding world where the ability to pivot and transition every day is a necessity, how do we move past what Psychologists call "Impostor Syndrome" to conquer the deeper fears of not being enough? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Impostor Syndrome is a concept that describes individuals who are marked by an inability to realize their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud." This way of thinking causes us to dismiss our accomplishments and abilities, feeling they may have occurred from luck, circumstance, or having deceived others into thinking we're someone other than our true selves. To some extent, everyone is ingrained with this mental noise that can tell us we're not good enough or don't belong. Our mind often wonders what may happen if people find out we're not as intelligent as they think. These thoughts can be the loudest when pursuing a goal or passion, and the fear of exposing ourselves as a failure can limit exploration and destroy the courage needed to delve into new experiences. To overcome these limiting and destructive thought processes, it's necessary to ask ourselves an important question: How can we move past Impostor Syndrome to develop our power, awareness, and take action in the direction of our true desires? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and much more with Ella Lucas-Averett, Host of the "On Air With Ella" Podcast. During this interview, she discusses techniques to move past our fears and find greater alignment in our lives. Listen To Episode 127 As Ella Uncovers: Why she felt a calling to spread the message of health and wellness The importance of taking complete accountability in our lives How to start where we are, use what we have, and do what we can Why the path towards success isn't a linear journey How to make sure impostor syndrome doesn't stop us from pursuing the things we desire The power that comes from being authentic Triggers that can amplify impostor syndrome How we can take an emotional inventory and find our authentic voice Ways to turn fear into curiosity How to determine if something isn't in alignment with our true selves How thoughts are manufactured around events, situations, and circumstances The importance of taking complete accountability in our relationships Why taking action won't always be fun and comfortable How we can use visualization to overcome our fears The tools that help us move through impostor syndrome Top 3 Takeaways From Ella In order to take more control over our lives, it's necessary to develop radical accountability with our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We must choose to manufacture powerful thoughts if we are to move past our fears and find greater alignment. There is strength in vulnerability and letting our authentic selves shine through to the world. Trying to project an image of perfection can hold us back from finding our deeper calling. Power Quotes From Ella "I don't see any point in trying to project some image of perfection." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett "If fear could have killed you, it would have by now." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett   "Our confusion stems from a lack of consciousness." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett "We can live in the past or focus on the possibilities." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett "It's not about shame and blame, it's about choice and power." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett "The antidote to fear is taking action." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett "Perfection is fear with different clothes on." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett "Motivation is on the other side of action." - Elizabeth Lucas-Averett   The "On Air With Ella" Podcast This show is for anyone who wants to feel better, look better, live better and have some fun on the way.

HRV - With the chronic stress and multitude of health conditions in our modern world, it can be extremely beneficial to understand how Heart Rate Variability can optimize our wellness and bring the autonomic nervous system into better balance. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the change in time between successive heart beats, and these small variations occur in response to internal and external events. These fluctuations are directly linked to our autonomic nervous system which helps to control our bodies unconscious processes. By tracking these variations, we can better understand our nervous systems, cardiovascular systems, and respiratory systems, and how our bodies are able to respond to many of life’s stressors that have a massive impact on our wellness. By tracking these unique variations over time, we can better understand the signals we receive from our body. In just 30-60 days using HRV, this can lead an increase in our ability to recognize and better manage life’s stressors. If we want to use this HRV data to truly improve our physical and emotional intelligence, we get to ask ourselves an important question: How can a prime biomarker like HRV practically improve how we manage our emotions, stress, burnout, and decrease our risk for many of today's common ailments? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and much more with Jason Moore, CEO of Elite HRV. During this interview, Jason discusses the importance of monitoring our HRV, and his non-evasive tracking tool that will help us gain insight into this important biomarker and how we can use it to fuel our health journey. 10% Discount: Foundations of Heart Rate Variability Course Save 10% and get the essential information you need to understand the science, mechanisms, and real-world applications of HRV in this comprehensive yet easy to follow Foundations of Heart Rate Variability course.

We can speed up this process if we learn the proper ways to track and analyze our biological data through different forms of wellness tech. Extreme exercise might make us "better" at certain activities, but this may be at the expense of other parts of our wellness.  Technology can help us know when to slow down so we don't jeopardize important areas of our health. HRV can give us incredible insight into other areas of our wellness and how our body functions.  We don't need massive amounts of tracking with HRV, 5 minutes a day for a couple weeks can give us great insight into how we can adjust our lifestyle to improve our wellness. Power Quotes From Jason   "There is nothing more priceless than your own body and mind." - Jason Moore "HRV is like our individual fingerprint for stress tolerance, adaptability, and resiliency." - Jason Moore "We can get pretty good at most things if we have the right kind of individualized plan."- Jason Moore "Tracking HRV can amplify our self-awareness." - Jason Moore "No matter where we are on the scale of intuition, we can use technology to hone our senses." - Jason Moore "The body is quite resilient if we give it the tools that it needs to manage stress." - Jason Moore "HRV has been shown to correlate with our biological age." - Jason Moore "Inundating people with more data than they need is a source of stress in and of itself." - Jason Moore "HRV is the most accurate non-evasive measure of your autonomic nervous system." - Jason Moore The Elite HRV Podcast Description: Uncommon methods for maximizing health and performance with an emphasis on real-world implementation of Heart Rate Variability and other biomarkers.
