I’ve got a special episode for you today, as I’m joined by Dr John Demartini, who’s considered one of the world’s leading authorities on human behaviour and personal development.

Ep. 124 -Hall of Fame | Vishal Shah - How Physical Fitness Helped Shape & Transform His Life After Cancer
Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined by Vishal Shah, a fellow RNT’er based out in LA, who in the past year has completely transformed his body and life while working with us. His story is special, and I still remember reading his application form for the first time. Having been diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 16, his whole life changed, and after recovering from the cancer, he struggled with anxiety, his identity, and poor lifestyle habits for the next decade. Vishal’s why is two fold. His first is to prove to himself that even after having cancer, he could achieve an athletic physique like his childhood heroes. And second, is to be able to serve as a mentor for adolescents who are in remission transitioning back into their regular lives. Having lost my cousin to cancer at 19 years old, this struck home for me, and I was so excited to help Vishal transform. Vishal began his journey in January 2019, and over the course of 9 months, worked to get into the shape of his life, achieved his initial goals, and mark his checkpoint with a photoshoot. Since then, his goal has been to build his lifestyle solution to stay in shape year-round. In this insightful podcast, Vishal goes through his whole journey so far, and to complement this, he’s also written a case study which I’ve published on our site, which you can check out in today’s show notes. ‘’I wanted to help adolescent kids with cancer that are experiencing cancer get back on their feet, and really believe and achieve the life they wanted to achieve’’ – Vishal Shah Timestamps: 2:32 – The three things Vishal wanted to achieve in 2019 5:37 – Vishal’s 3’s 10:34 – Having a support system/team 12:01 – Getting diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at 16 18:21 – Not being in peak physical and mental condition 20:59 – Beating cancer 6 months before Vishal and the doctors anticipated 23:22 – 3 go-to methods to manage mental health 28:43 – How can someone visualise? 31:34 – The 2019 journey 32:22 – Letting go of your ego 35:36 – Managing socials 39:03 – Solidifying the 3’s 40:01 – The small wins 41:01 – Why the physical is the vehicle 46:03 – The spiritual change Vishal has gone through 50:13 – One thing Vishal learned in 2019 54:20 – Vishal’s action for 2020 56:23 – What makes a good support system? 1:00:03 – Advice for anyone in their transformation journey? 1:00:53 – Plans for 2020?

In this podcast we discuss what Shane deems to be the three keys to high performance, why sleep is so critical, and the specific topic of today, the power of walking.

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined by RNT’er Amit Lakhani, who shares his incredible story of using the physical as the vehicle to completely transform his life.

In the middle of 2019, Amit decided enough was enough, and he wanted to make a change. In the six months since, Amit has lost over 15kg, marked his first Transformation Checkpoint, consolidated perfectly, and is now deep into an Investment phase. In this episode, we discuss in depth his why, his why behind his why, the power of the weekly check in, visualisation, and why the Grind should really be titled, ‘peace be the journey’. ‘’Everything has to be through the physical, that is our key through the door, so if I can enhance my physical, then surely I can do deeper in the spiritual’ – Amit Lakhani Timestamps: 1:05 – Post shoot 2:03 – The consolidation 4:22 – Episode 67 7:52 – Thoughts on the consolidation 9:34 – Amit’s background 11:41 – 17st at 17 14:18 – Getting into running 15:12 – Dad’s influence 18:20 – The RNT journey 20:47 – The demons 23:51 – Eating popcorns in the stands 26:01 – Shifting identity 26.22 – The other why 27:01 –The yoga influence 30:54 – Physical is the vehicle 35:06 – Spirituality 35:45 – Peace be the journey 40:11 – The void 41:31 – How the physical has been the vehicle 44:11 – The positive affirmations 47:53 – Connecting with a purpose 50:09 – Power of essentialism 52:16 – What has Amit learned? 1:01:16 – Power of visualisation 1:05:17 – The power of the photoshoot 1:10:39 – What’s next in the journey? 1:11:43 – 66kg identity 1:20:00 – Parting words from Amit Thanks so much for listening!

Ep. 120 - 24/6 & The Power Of Unplugging One Day A Week w/ Tiffany Shlain
On today’s episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Tiffany Shlain, author of one of the best books I’ve read in the past year – 24/6. I got a copy of her book by accident a few months ago and read it all over one weekend. I was hooked from the get-go, and it’s taken my own digital health practices to the next level. In this episode, we discuss why everyone should live a life of 24/6, which is effectively unplugging from all screens one day a week, and what the life changing benefits are from this practice. We also discuss practicalities of the day, how to do it as a family, tech use for children, and how to manage your digital health the other six days of the week. Going off the grid one day per week is one of the best things I’ve done for my own overall well-being in recent times, and I’d highly recommend you do the same! ‘’Every great wisdom practice from every cultural talks about the value of silence and reflection, and we’ve created a society with no room for that’’ – Tiffany Shlain Timestamps: 3:41 – Who Is Tiffany Shlain? 4:53 – Feeling distracted 8:31 – Why is this so beneficial? 9:13 – 24/6 living 12:35 – Common barriers 16:59 – Advice for the busy individual? 18:24 – How does Tiffany’s daughter feel about this? 21:07 – The most recent Shabbat 24:35 – Journaling 27:35 – Tech with children 29:14 – Wait until 8 30:18 – Teen suicide 32:50 – Unplugged walks 33:42 – Default mode network 39:49 – When does Tiffany journal? 41:05 – Eye contact 44:10 – 3 keys tips for implementation Thanks so much for listening!

Ep. 119 - Marrying A Short Term Transformation With A Long Term Lifestyle Solution
This week, we jumped on the mic to discuss why you must marry a short-term transformation with a long-term lifestyle solution. We talk about why you can’t have one without the other, and why the common industry thinking of throwing all your focus into one goal, one date, and one timeframe is problematic. Ultimately, we need to create a paradigm shift in the industry to stop selling one-way tickets to the top of the mountain and start making return trips mandatory for anyone looking to go on this journey. Getting to the top is relatively easy. Finding your way down is a whole different ball game. If you want to get into the shape of your life, for life, and understand why you need to marry the two in order to do so, this podcast is a must-listen. We might have also taken analogies to another level here! ‘’You don’t buy the ticket for the way home, it’s a single trip for most’’ – Team RNT Timestamps: 1:19 – AV’s training 2:32 – Nate’s training 4:38 – Why training is important? 11:04 – Common traits of lean people 12:08 – Quick fixes in the fitness industry 18:49 – Why is a return ticket needed? 21:49 – You need a transformation check point 25:19 – Self mastery 29:11 – Hacking a diet 32:39 – Buffering and lifestyle solution 36:02 – Can you be the leader? 40:01 – What happens in the lifestyle solution? 41:38 – Identity shift 43:47 – Pursing self mastery 47:32 – Mission at RNT 47:50 – Death of the 12-week plan Thanks so much for listening!

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined by one of our members of the RNT Family based Stateside, Stazie Hyslop. Stazie’s been on one hell of a journey with us so far, and if you ever wanted to hear our mission of using the physical as the vehicle for the greater good in action, Stazie’s story epitomises this. Having battled with clinical depression and anxiety for over 20 years, Stazie talks about her road to recovery, and how dropping 50lbs through 2019 has been a huge catalyst in giving her a new outlook in life. In fact, Stazie is also the co-author of the book ‘I Defeated Depression’, which details her spiral into depression and ultimately her amazing recovery. She wrote the book with her Dad who gives his perspective as the parent and how he and his wife helped with her recovery. The authors have used the pen names Samantha and Richard Olivier in order to protect the identities of the characters. The book is available on Amazon and in all good book shops, and I’ve linked it in the show notes today for those interested. For now though, let’s dive into Stazie’s story! ‘’What’s the difference between a diet and a transformation?
