The Active Life Podcast

There is a dirty little secret in the healthcare world that no one is talking about. Well, no one except Zak Gabor that it. . Most Physical Therapists and Chiropractors graduate school, and have no idea what to do next. They know that they are required to get continuing education, but in what? There is an ocean of approved coursework available to them. . The logical next step for a young professional is to hone in on their skills, to become a more knowledgeable doctor and to learn new physical techniques. . But what if that's wrong? What if there is something more valuable to learn? . Zak believes there is. On today's podcast we discuss why communication is the overlooked holy grail of patient care and what both doctors and patients need to do about it. .

Postpartum mood disorder (including depression) is a difficult thing to talk about. . It’s a vulnerable topic that leaves many women to feel isolated, confused, sad, hazy, and insecure. What compounds these symptoms is how hard it is to discuss. . That’s why we recorded the longest podcast in this show’s history about the topic. . This podcast with Kimberly Pastuch is full of emotion, honesty, perspective, and passion. It’s part 1 of 2 with the next one coming soon to cover the impact of the disorder on the man of the relationship.    If you love this podcast , please click HERE to leave a review.

If you work in the fitness world, you have heard someone say "you don't get into fitness for the money." . We hate that expression. We hate it because we disagree with it. If you are a fitness professional, you did get into fitness for the money. You DID NOT get into fitness because of the money. . Everyone needs to make a living. Fitness professionals choose to do that by helping other people. Those who are true, dedicated, professionals, take their responsibility so seriously that it is the ONLY thing they are willing to do for money. That is the major mindset shift that it takes to be successful in this business. . On today's show, Dr. Sean interviews five coaches who have gone through the Active Life Immersion Course with the explicit intent behind it being to achieve financial freedom as a fitness professional.  . Each of these coaches wanted to stop struggling with time and/or money, and become the trusted resource in their area at helping people workout without pain and frustration. . Today, we dive into the decision making process these professionals went through before deciding to spend their money in exchange for education, and we learn about how their lives and those around them are different for it. . Note, on today's show we intentionally selected five coaches with massively different local demographics. One is a gym owner, the other four work in gyms. All five are winning. .

Have you ever heard the phrase “words matter”? Yea, you haven’t heard the least of it yet. . Mark England had a transformative moment in his life that sent him on a tailspin of self loathing that ended in massive positive self awareness. In this episode, we discuss at length  how the words Mark was using got him out of the tailspin and back to flying high. . Mark helps everyday people change the way they choose words, which fundamentally alters their physiology. It’s wild.
