The Coaching Lab: Health, Wellness & Performance (Brad Cooper, PhD)

Mirinda "Rinny" Carfrae is one of the most beloved athletes (and when it comes to the run, the most feared!) in the sport of triathlon. She is the 3-time Ironman World Champion (plus the 2007 70.3 World Champion) and is also married to Timothy O'Donnell, the top-rated American Ironman athlete in recent years.While we certainly touch on triathlon in this interview, the focus is on life. Rinny and Timothy are now married (2013) and parents of a beautiful 2-year-old little girl (Isabelle). The perspective she brings in terms of not simply training and racing but also general health and wellness are valuable for each and every one of us.Health and wellness coaches will obviously love this episode, but they won't be alone, as one of the great athletes of our time shares her thoughts and insights about living real life in the midst of serious pursuits.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

The National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) has changed the landscape for coaches.

Intermittent fasting has become popularized in recent years, but the evidence often gets lost in the headline-chasing videos, blogs and posts. If you're a health coach, wellness coach or performance coach, you're likely getting a lot of questions about this topic. To cut through all the baloney, we sought out one of the world's most respected neuroscientists on the subject, Dr. Mark Mattson.Dr. Mattson is a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins and the Chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences at the National Institute on Aging. His work has looked into how the brain and body respond and adapt to fasting and exercise. If there is an expert on the subject of Intermittent Fasting, Dr. Mattson is that expert. In fact, he is among the most highly cited neuroscientists in the world. To say we felt fortunate he agreed to join us for this episode would be a clear understatement. Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Immunity is of critical interest right now in the midst of Covid-19. There are plenty of "experts" touting their magical immunity solutions but the evidence is clear: nothing influences immunity more than sleep. As a result, we were grateful to have nationally recognized sleep expert Dr. Meeta Singh join us as this week's guest.
