In this week's episode entitled, "Why Yoga & Stretching Is Causing Your Pain," Yogi Aaron and I discuss the important topics of stretching and yoga, why their concepts are often misunderstood and why in many cases they are used ineffectively, leading to physical pain and injury.We both discuss our previous lower back injuries that were at least in part caused by yoga and the lessons we both learned.We also discussed the technical aspects of when and why stretching and yoga can cause pain, and we discussed how Aaron adapts his yoga teachings so that yoga can be performed in the way it was originally intended, which is "to move with least effort" and in way that helps to reduce the likelihood of pain and injury.We discussed:2:12Aaron's Yoga Journey28:22How Stretching Causes Harm to the Body39:30Muscle Activation Techniques®53:21A Healthy Way to Stretch1:03:53The Ultimate Goal of Yoga1:08:40The Future of YogaYou can find Yogi Aaron @:https://YogiAaron.com https://youtube.com/c/YogiAaronhttps://www.instagram.com/yogi_aaron/https://www.facebook.com/yogi.aaron.yoga/Yogi Aaron's pain-free series: http://smpl.ro/pain-freeYogi Aaron's  book: https://amzn.to/3xHJmMkSend us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/

In this week’s episode of RHR entitled "How To Thrive in Menopause", Dr Daved Rosensweet and I got to discuss a very important topic that affects millions of women across the world and can ultimately lead to a miserable middle and late-stage of life often requiring a cocktail of pharmaceuticals with little benefit, side effects and 24-hour care at great expense. Hormones is a subject that I’ve had a very special interest in since the early 1990’s, so Dr Rosensweet and I got deep into the subject of menopause and more importantly, how to thrive during and after menopause.Dr Rosensweet shares his 50 plus years of experience working in this field and this episode is one that no woman or man above, or even approaching 40 years of age should miss. We discussed:2:20Dr Rosensweet's Journey Into Helping Women Thrive in Menopause8:25What is Menopause?14:40Standard Medical Approach to Menopause25:00Differences Between Patented Synthetic Hormones and Bio-identical Hormones34:00Testing Hormones During Menopause43:50Dosing Hormones When Treating Menopause52:30Hormone Delivery Options55:00The Dangers of Mild Symptoms of MenopauseYou can find Dr Rosensweet @:https://brite.live/https://iobim.orghttps://www.facebook.com/davedrosensweetmdFree copy of "Happy Healthy Hormones" @ https://iobim.org/book/Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/

In this week’s episode, I invited Josie Warren to discuss Why Autoimmune Conditions Are Caused by Your Mind. Health expert Josie had eight autoimmune disorders, depression, anxiety, ADD, alcoholism, and an eating disorder in her teens and 20’s. After years of struggling with traditional and alternative medicine, she was unable to solve her chronic health issues. Thankfully, she found the missing piece that led her to fully heal from ALL her chronic health disorders in a very short period of time. Josie’s passion to help others with autoimmune disorders to create fulfilling lives is clearly evident in this interview, and she was really excited to share the missing piece in this episode.We discussed:2:43Josie's Autoimmune Journey28:17Differences and Similarities Between the Western Medicine and Alternative/Functional medicine40:30An Illness Currency48:50Why People Find Life Difficult1:05:00Josie's Steps to Curing Her Autoimmune Diseases1:26:00Do You Really Want to Heal?You can find Josie @:Email: josie.n.warren@gmail.comhttps://hashimotosfix.com/Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/

In this week's episode, I spoke with Tina McDermott who spent most of her life struggling with digestive issues.  She didn’t understand that the embarrassing gas, bloating, constipation, and yo-yo weight gain/loss she had since she was a teenager were all interconnected and thought that it was just ‘the way it is’, and that she had to live with it.When Tina learned that she had Lyme disease, which had gone undetected for years and wreaked havoc on her health along with digestive issues, she also suffered from extreme chronic fatigue, depression, vertigo, fevers, weight gain and ultimately Hashimoto’s disease. Tina's inspiration for her own wellness journey began when her older sister Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 23 and ultimately took her at the age of 48. Anna’s illness and suffering was a wake-up call for Tina to learn more about how to take better care of her own health, and help others as well.We discussed:2:20Tina's Journey30:00Lyme Disease34:40Depression, Vertigo, & Hashimoto's Related to Lyme Disease.41:55Tina's Life Changing Moment50:40Facing ChallengesYou can find Tina @:https://www.tinamcdermott.comhttps://www.tinasjoyfulkitchen.com (Youtube channel)https://www.linkedin.com/in/tina-mcdermott/https://www.facebook.com/groups/FinallythinforeverSupporthttps://www.instagram.com/tinasjoyouskitchen/Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/

In this week’ episode of the RHR Podcast, I go solo to share with you my experience of the last 27 years coaching people on eating for optimal health and the biggest mistakes I see people making where nutrition has played a role in their health condition, whether it be, acne, eczema, psoriasis, constipation, diarrhoea, chronic pain or any other chronic degenerative disease.And with the ever-increasing rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and mental health problems, all of which having a nutritional component I thought this was a subject I just had to tackle. The destruction of quality of life and early deaths many of these diseases cause, is totally avoidable.Just as I did in episode 17, “The Top 10 Gym Mistakes”, I will start with Nutrition Fail number 10 and work may way up to the number 1 Nutrition Fail. I will also be providing solutions as I go, so it won't be all doom and gloom.The Top Ten Nutrition Fails:3:0510. Trying to supplement your way out of a poor diet5:559.
