Amy Clover: How To Beat Depression With A Dumbbell
Can burpees actually boost your mood? Science is now telling us that exercise can be a better healing therapy for depression than prescription medication. As a dude who has been prescribed anti-depressant medication by my doctor “to help me sleep” in the past, I can tell you that I'm a heck of a lot happier when I'm exercising than when I'm medicating. The reason that a lot of these natural cures don't really get out there is because there isn't a whole lot of money in telling people to go for a walk to help them with their depression. There is a lot of money in patents, trademarks, branding and getting products out there that people can consume over and over again. But if you just go for a walk, there isn't really anyone else who's benefiting directly from that, certainly not monetarily, except for you. So lace up those old tennis shoes and get those endorphins flowing because exercise isn't about how you look, it's about how you feel. And I can definitely attest to that. Our guest on this episode is Amy Clover, founder of Strong Inside Out.

Jack Peters: 9-Year-Old Whiz Kid Explains How Sports Make Us Smarter
Do you ever wonder what modern processed food is doing to kids? While childhood obesity and Type II diabetes are running rampant, the answer to that question is usually a bummer. But you’re about to hear from a remarkable 9 year old who I met at a book signing last spring who made me feel a heck of a lot better. This fourth-grader not only read all the way through my book, The Wild Diet, but also shared a story I won’t forget. I know how unexciting vegetables can be… especially, when you’re in fourth grade. But what if you found out that eating clean made you better at sports… and school?
