When we take action in the face of that fear, we become courageous. When we become courageous, we become confident. When we become confident, we become powerful. When we become powerful, we become risk-takers. When we become risk-takers, we’re moving on up to the Skinny Branches of the tree, and now we’re inspiring other people to do the same." -Michael Strasner Listen As Michael Uncovers: How to create a life worth living How to commit to your personal health Finding your purpose Emotions for success Personal Transformation Ego Conversations: Negative energy from past experiences Your fears and insecurities Both real and perceived limitations Tendencies towards survival The need to be right The resistance to abandoning control Links From Today's Show: Living on The Skinny Branches Book Learn More About Michael Strasner VIDEO: The Power of Living As Your Word Are You Interested In Changing Old Habits With New Technology?

Today on the show is one of the most sought after mindfulness trainers in the world, Julianna Raye. After training individuals and groups for over 15 years, Julianna brings her expertise and gifts to share with Wellness Force Radio. Support Wellness Force Radio:  RATE & REVIEW in iTunes |  SUBSCRIBE in iTunes | I've been so pumped to be able to bring on a guest like Julianna that not only is a master at empowering others to change their thinking, but most importantly, to change their behavior through the power of mindfulness and meditation. Numerous scientific studies have shown clear and wide ranging benefits of mindfulness including stress and anxiety reduction, strengthened immune system, heightened EI and creativity to name just a few. In fact, Julianna herself was drawn to mindfulness 18 years ago, to manage debilitating anxiety. With over 90 weeks of immersive silent retreat training in both mindfulness and zen in addition to her daily practice, Julianna has racked up 12,000 plus hours of formal practice time, rewiring her brain and creating a new normal for herself. This enables her to truly be of service to her clients. Currently, Julianna is developing onsite and online mindfulness training for enterprise clients and consumers as well as delivering keynotes, privately coaching executives in sales and leadership, performance professionals, TV personalities, entrepreneurs engaged in personal growth, and group training company leaders interested in preventative health care and enhancing the work environment, through mindfulness meditation. In a recent study at UCLA comparing long-term meditators’ brains with non-meditators, the results of Julianna’s MRI led to interviews on ABC, Globo and Reuters news outlets, about the benefits of Mindfulness practice. Using the system of Basic Mindfulness, which has been researched at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Vermont, and Harvard Medical Center (with breakthrough results), Julianna’s emphasis is on helping clients find those specific strategies most relevant for their life and professional environment. As an expert in the system, Julianna teaches clients how to strategically implement practice for specific challenges and practice in action, leading to accelerated growth, giving clients a way to develop skills on the go and providing invaluable tools for self empowerment. Just as a physical trainer improves your workout, working with a mindfulness meditation trainer deepens and strengthens your skills, providing the necessary perspective, feedback and support so you maximize the potential of your practice. Mindfulness provides an excellent complement to any other self-healing work you may be doing. In fact, your practice will enhance all the activities of your life.

What do we do when diet and exercise don't work? Do hormones and our nervous system hold the key? Today, I'm excited and honored to have Reed Davis on Wellness Force Radio to unlock the answers and uncover the hidden causes of weight gain. Support Wellness Force Radio:  RATE & REVIEW in iTunes |  SUBSCRIBE in iTunes | Reed is the Founder of the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) Certification Course.  He is known as one of the most successful and experienced clinicians in the world, having provided functional lab assessments to over 10,000 clients for hormone, adrenal, digestive, immune and detoxification issues as well as infections, infestations, food sensitivities and chronic stress-related problems. Reed served as a Health Director and Case Manager for over 15 years and now teaches a course in functional medicine with over 2,000 trainees in 50 countries. He is also a Clinical Advisor at BioHealth Laboratory where he helps doctors interpret lab test results and develop natural protocols to restore function instead of just treating the symptoms. While serving for many years as the CNT and Case Manager, Reed Davis made his own observations about who got better and who did not. The patients who improved the most were the ones working as close to the underlying cause as possible, and not simply treating the symptoms. Wanting to help as many people as possible, Reed employed functional lab testing as it applies to nutrition and other natural protocols with thousands of patients. Educating others became a passion and provided a mission that Reed carries out to this day. While systematizing the work, Reed came to the realization that he had discovered an emerging field. He named this growing body of work Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® and founded the certification course.

Help Support Wellness Force Radio:  | Rate & Review in iTunes |  | SUBSCRIBE On iTunes |  | Subscribe On Stitcher |  | Subscribe On Android |  Peter’s life was consumed by fear at a very young age, having to tell his Mother at 10 years old that she was no longer suitable to raise him because of her alcoholism, and later, having to watch his Father give up on life and drink himself to death. Since then, he has dedicated his life to empowering others to leverage fitness as a tool to overcome their fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs. Peter's journey to success has been anything but a straight line. Starting his career in investment banking at a prestigious firm in Chicago, Peter soon realized that he was miserable and completely disconnected from his life's purpose. After several years of investment banking and private equity experience, Peter left his job to launch his career in the personal development industry working for a Chicago based company called Lifebook. At Lifebook, Peter became the highest earning sales consultant in the history of the company. Despite four successful years at Lifebook, Peter was being called to share his message with the world. So he left the security of his paycheck behind, moved from Chicago to San Diego, and launched his own coaching business. Peter now mentors high achieving entrepreneurs to get fit in less time so that they double their income and become unstoppable.   Links From Today's Show: #1 Amazon Bestselling Book, “The Fearless Mindset” The Fearless Life Academy FREE gift: Peter Interviews 4 Highly successful entrepreneurs in his 4 part video series   Are You Interested In Changing Old Habits With New Technology?

Growing up underweight and stuck a "spectator" of life in his early years, Jon Vroman went on to transform his body, mind, and spirit into becoming voted the #1 college motivational speaker in America. Not once, but twice. But his road to greatness wasn't easy, and today he vulnerably shares a story of overcoming obstacles to take action, serve others, and truly create a life worth living. His "ah-ha" moment was sparked during an experience at a Jason Mraz concert that would change his life... With years of experience keynoting, Jon has developed an effective and modern motivational style that genuinely connects with his audience. Engaging his listeners, igniting their enthusiasm, and challenging their status-quo is Jon’s specialty. In 2005, Jon founded The Front Row Foundation, which helps individuals and families who are braving critical health challenges to, “experience life in the front row”. The foundation gives those who are in need a front row experience at a concert, sporting event, theatrical performance, or other live event of their choice. To date, the charity has raised over $1,000,000 and had been instrumental in over 60 life-changing experiences. Have you ever have the feeling of being stuck in your life, career, relationship or purpose? I'm raising my hand. With mentors like Jon, we learn that when we persevere and search for the life we deserve, and essentially become the victor -not the victim- of our story, we attract and experience pivotal moments that change us forever. I'm curious, how do you design your life to attract those moments? Are you currently creating the life you deserve?  Today, Jon gives us the solutions and motivation we need to answer those questions, and also shares how to design our environment, community, and mindset to win it all.   Help Support Wellness Force Radio:  Rate & Review in iTunes | SUBSCRIBE On iTunes |  Subscribe On Stitcher |Subscribe On Android   Listen as Jon Uncovers: Overcoming small thinking  Bio-hacking your workspace to perform at your best Key steps to becoming the best version of yourself How to be of service no matter where you are The core values for success   Links from today's show: Front Row Foundation The Power of Habit - Charles Duhigg Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard The Front Row Factor Podcast Front Row On Campus Flow Genome Project   Jon's Core Values (14:40) Connect Create  Change Commit  Contribute   "When your why has heart, your how gets legs" - Jon Vroman   Are You Interested In Changing Old Habits With New Technology?

Trust me, I've had my own struggles around the deleterious ones and quieting the big bad wolf inside my head. At times of victimhood, my life has even felt like just one big hurdle after another. Can you relate? When I was 8 years old I watched my mom get carried out on a stretcher.  Her illness created a certain type of fear file that I'd access at pivotal times in my life. When I was 16, I missed a month of school, had reconstructive sinus surgery and decimated my gut flora with a year of antibiotics. With limited health knowledge and ways to cope as an adolescent, eating unhealthy foods allowed me to hide for awhile... Since then, I've learned that doing the real transformational work, both on the inside and the outside, including my mind and my body, has made all the difference. I've ultimately learned that we all need more wellness, and we also need each other.
