Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

There’s been a rising trend in recent years of using technology to better understand and optimize the human body. Through these tools we track, tweak, and train not only our wellness but also our ability to perform, and even use these tools as a means to increase our lifespan. We can now do all these things through the lens of the “quantified self”. Today’s guest explains how his company, Hyperice, has taken the tools and technologies used by the world’s most elite athletes and brought them to the masses to help them “warm up quicker, recover faster, and move better.” Listen in as Jim Huether shares the approach Hyperice uses to continuously develop technology in order to more precisely meet the needs of the human body as we come to better understand how it functions. In particular, he touches on their new HyperSmart ecosystem which pulls activity data from their wearable devices and provides wholly personalized recommendations based on that data. He talks about how the technology guides users toward behavior change in the most natural, human way possible, as opposed to the overly restrictive, one-size-fits-all approach that many coaches take.   Follow HyperIce @hyperice Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Free WHOOP 3.0 activity band and $30 off your new membership at https://join.whoop.com/everforward  Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/481 

Relationships isn’t normally the first word that pops to mind when we talk about food. Today’s guest illustrates what it truly means to embody our relationship with food and defines “healthy eating” in terms that go way beyond calories, macros, and choosing so-called “good” foods. When we’re in tune with what we’re eating, food allows us to connect to ourselves, to other people, and to the world on a visceral and emotional level. Listen in as Kara Campbell shares how she came to embrace the connective power of food at an early age, just from sitting around the table with her family at dinner time every night. She explains how this evolved into the idea that dining with others and asking intentional questions leads to friends and strangers alike mirroring pieces of themselves back to one another through conversation. She then unpacks the topic of intuitive eating and why most people fail to reconnect to their bodies and simply trust that they know what they need. Kara then talks about how her upbringing within purity culture had a profoundly negative impact on her relationship with food and why women growing up in such an environment almost always have body image issues and destructive eating habits. Finally, Kara touches on why our body is our wisest teacher and the surprising benefits beyond the physical that one experiences once they are able to repair their relationship with food. Kara Elise Campbell is an embodiment coach who teaches women how to connect with their bodies and come back home to themselves.   Follow Kara @bykaraelise Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on the 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef sticks from Paleovalley with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.paleovalley.com/everforward Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/480 

What makes a good coach? How do you know how to pick the right one? What if you view success differently when it comes to your personal health and fitness? Coaches Alyssa and Christy are both very good at what they do and how they help their clients reach their goals but how they go about doing so is drastically different. Does that make one right and one wrong? In this episode, Chase mediates between the two online coaches using input from real, live human beings that are interested in coaching (some for a repeat experience) but have reservations about what will be expected of them, what the work will look like, and what goals are realistic based on their individual needs and unique backgrounds and lifestyles.  If you have ever wondered how to go about picking the right coach for your wellness goals then tune in and take notes!   Follow Alyssa @lysababe1 Follow Christy @christymaecampbell Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Get your free variety sample pack of Recharge by LMNT at https://www.drinklmnt.com/everforward Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/479 

Savannah Lynx is a singer/songwriter and fitness model. In this conversation, she discusses how she successfully made the leap from the world of pageantry into music and entertainment. Savannah reflects on how singing and performance had always been her calling. She hearkens back to her college days at Fordham, remembering that “without music as the centerpoint of my life, I really lost it. I wasn’t engaged in class. I wasn’t excited. I wasn’t working out. It was the keystone that put my life together and made me realize who I was and who I wanted to be.” At the age of 21, she was inspired—to her parents’ disappointment—to put her college education on hold, fly from New York to L.A., and pursue her music career seriously. Along the way, her ever-present passion for fitness helped her win the coveted titles of Miss Las Vegas International Model Search and Miss Swimsuit USA International. Listen in as Savannah dives deep into her mindset toward success in both her career and life as a whole. Aside from sharing what she loves about both listening to and making music, she also talks health, nutrition, and setting fitness goals not just for the sake of aesthetics, but for energy and longevity.   Follow Savannah @savannahlynx Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on The Good face serum from Caldera Lab with code EVERFORWARD at https://calderalab.com/everforward  Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/478

For some time, she suffered through self-imposed extreme diet restrictions that inevitably led to binging episodes.
