One of my favorite definitions of the word diet is “habitual nourishment”. We can unknowingly develop tunnel vision and think that food is our only source of nourishment. True, food is a huge part, but our diet consists of far more than what we are putting in our bodies. Our movement practices, our exposure to healthy environments (with adequate fresh air and sunlight), the influence from the relationships in our lives, and several other factors play a key role in our habitual nourishment. To attain true, sustainable health as a human being, all of these areas need to be addressed intelligently. And no one knows that better than today’s guest, Dr. Kelly Starrett. Kelly is a doctor of physical therapy, world-class coach, thought leader, and New York Times bestselling author. He’s having a tremendous impact in our world by being an advocate for a culture of movement. The way we move can tell a lot about us as an individual, and the improvement in our movement diet can directly enhance every area of our lives. On today’s episode, we’ll be covering some of the crucial components of a healthy movement diet, plus important insights to help us recover from injuries faster and, more importantly, prevent them in the first place. In this episode you'll discover: Why you generally don’t see wild animals pulling a hammy. How we tend to identify the best athlete in the room. Why movement is skill-based. Why humans are extraordinary at compensation. What posture really means. What the central governor is. Where the word mobility comes from and what it entails. Why practice does NOT make perfect. What it means to have a physical practice. How changes in your environment can sensitize your tissues. Predictive lifestyle factors for increased risk of injury. Why competitive sports can teach you valuable lessons about yourself. What SI joint issues can indicate (and how to address it). Why your brain protects your spine so ruthlessly. What your movement diet is. What mechanotransduction is. The minimum effective dose of therapeutic walking you need to target each day. Movement tips that will enable you to reduce the amount of time you have to “warm up”. The best time to party and eat ice cream (this is an incredible insight!). A checklist of fundamental skills you should be able to perform as a human. How to avoid having tech neck in our technology-based society.

When everyone shows up to the theater and sees their favorite superhero on the big screen, we are just seeing the end result of an incredible process. Superheroes, and champions alike, are made when no one is watching. When the lights and cameras are all off, the best of the best are putting in work. But not the kind of work you might think of… Getting in superhero shape, for example, doesn’t take a particularly special plan, or a particularly special person, or even a beat yourself into the ground work ethic. It does, however, take a special mindset. That’s where celebrity trainer Don Saladino takes the cake. He’s mastered the ability to maximize the results for his clients by maximizing their mindset and paying attention to what his clients really need. Believe it or not, we all have many of the same needs, whether we’re starring in a big budget film or managing the family budget each month. There are some critical basics that so many folks who want to transform their bodies are missing out on. Don’s big on those things. And we’ll be talking about them today. Most importantly, you can't have world-class without a little secret sauce. Don will share with you what his personal tips and tools are that he’s seen work for thousands of clients at his state-of-the-art facility in NYC. Learning from Don is absolutely priceless. So, click play, take good notes, and enjoy! In this episode you'll discover: Why superheroes actually do exist. What inspired Don to actively pursue health and fitness. How superstar actors approach their training that’s different from the average person (and you can do this too!). Which training components are consistent in superhero actors’ workouts (whether they need to lean down or get bigger and stronger). How certain lifting exercises give people a mental edge as well. The most important (yet underused) exercises in all levels of training. Tips and insights for folks who need to gain some muscle. Why it’s a bad idea to try to out-exercise your diet. Why you have to “earn the right” to do certain exercises. Whether or not you should be training to muscle failure. How to warm-up for your workouts safely and effectively. The important things you should be doing as soon as your workout is over. Which character qualities can help build a successful career as a health professional.

Being in the health & fitness field for over a decade and a half, I’ve been fortunate to see some big shifts happening. There’s been huge shifts in our society's overreliance on processed, convenience foods (my idea of healthy when I first began my career was a lean cuisine microwave dinner… hey, it was low fat!). There’s been shifts in our awareness of the need for daily movement (not just conventional “exercise”). There has also been a tremendous shift in the way that physicians are treating their patients. In the last decade, we’ve seen an explosion in integrative medicine, functional medicine, holistic medicine, and the like. These are, in general terms, approaches that take into consideration more of the patient’s lifestyle, and seek to find ways to remove the root cause of their health struggles, and not just treat symptoms with drugs or surgery. Everything in medicine has its place, but a shockingly large number of ailments that conventional medicine fails to resolve can be improved substantially with strategic lifestyle changes. Diseases, in many ways, don’t just happen. The vast majority of us arrive in life with a pretty clean slate, and healthy, functioning genes. But then, seemingly out of nowhere... something life-altering shows up. It may be in the form of heart disease, diabetes, asthma, or hundreds of other conditions. Suddenly, it appears. And we’re often at a loss to figure out why. But, that why is where the best doctors today work their magic. In fact, our guest on this powerhouse new episode has proof that he can teach you How To Make Disease Disappear. Today’s guest is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee. He’s a bestselling author and star of the hit BBC One show Doctor in the House, and, most importantly, he’s a physician that get real results for his patients. That’s why I made it a must to share him with you today. So, it’s time to focus in, take good notes, take action, and enjoy! In this episode you'll discover: Whether or not conventional treatments for chronic illnesses are actually effective. How someone can transform from Mr. Bean into Jason Bourne. How a health crisis with Dr. Chatterjee’s family transformed his life and his medical practice. The missing nutrient that your body needs to assimilate and use calcium. How your skin complexion influences your need for sunlight. The real reason why conventional medicine has largely failed in reversing chronic illnesses. Why diabetes is an environmental disease. What the threshold effect is. The surprising array of factors that can cause insulin resistance. Why you shouldn’t be chasing the perfect diet. What a cortisol steal is. The dangerous relationship between cortisol and inflammation. Which elevated biomarker can make antidepressants ineffective. Why it’s essential to have “me-time” each day (doctor’s orders!). How Dr. Chatterjee’s patient reduced her symptoms of Crohn’s disease by 50 percent without changing her diet. Why the excessive use of social media could be related to depression. Why the future of medicine is a shift away from medicalizing people’s symptoms and, instead, caring for the whole person.

Relationships can be a lot of work. There’s no denying that. But, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything more impactful on the quality of your life than your relationships. So, isn’t it a good idea to make good investments into them? Today you’re going to learn about the most valuable tracking metric we have for our success in life… something called ROR. More importantly, we’re going to take a good look at the status of our most important relationships and make some decisions on the moves that need to be made. There’s a saying that people come into your life for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. Every relationship you’ve ever had has brought forth the opportunity to learn something valuable, even if it was for a short time (a reason). Some relationships last a certain period of time and provide the experience you need to move forward in your growth, even if they, or you, outgrow each other at some point (a season). While some relationships will walk closely with you for the rest of your life… providing the opportunity for continuous growth (and work) as you move forward side-by-side (a lifetime). It’s more critical than ever that you have your eyes open to be able to discern the difference in these various types of relationships. Since your relationships have a huge impact on your health, your career, and your overall success in life, it’s of the utmost importance that you make your relationships a study, and give them the time, thought, and energy they deserve. Still, always keep in mind that all healthy relationships start with you being healthy and taking good care of you (we’ll be covering that too). So, click play, take good notes, and take action to build your most valuable resource! In this episode you'll discover: What ROR means. Why constantly battling an unhealthy environment is setting you up for failure. What Katy Perry can teach you about suppressing emotions. How micronutrients play a tremendous role in our health. Why all relationships start with you. What lone wolf syndrome is. The 5 components of daily self-care. The critical roles that water plays in your health. Why exercise and movement go far beyond just changing your physique. How to get the most out of the things you study (most people don’t do this!). Why you have to provide your body with the right raw materials. Why it’s critical to consciously have standards in your relationships. The 8 signs that you may need to adjust or move on from a relationship. How your perception influences your body’s biochemistry. Different ways to handle people who try to take advantage of you. Why many people are in relationships with their “ideas of a person” and not the actual person. How expecting others to change their character and/or behavior can lead to huge conflicts. Why you need to be mindful of how people celebrate you. The difference between understanding circumstances and justifying negative behavior.

Something’s not adding up. We’ve got more gyms, more fitness classes, and more health food stores per person in the U.S. than any other country in the world. Yet, we are continuously at the top of the list of countries with the most obesity and chronic illness.

“We have met the enemy, and he is us.” These are the wise words stated in the long-running comic strip Pogo by Walt Kelly. Who knew a comic strip could drop such profound truth?! The greatest obstacle in our success is not something or someone external… our greatest obstacle is our own minds! We all have the capacity for so much, but what usually throws a metaphorical banana in our path (causing us to slip up) is our old way of being, our disempowering beliefs, and just good old-fashioned self-sabotage. The assessment may arise, “Why on earth would we sabotage ourselves?!” I want to win! I want to succeed! I’m not going to stop myself by choice!” And therein lies the crux of the situation. Our self-sabotage is hardly ever a conscious choice. Moving past our self-sabotaging tendencies requires us to do some intelligent inner work. And that’s why I brought on renowned keynote speaker, bestselling author, and master coach, Christine Hassler. In this episode you'll discover: How alcohol affects your sleep. What special drink is proven to help you sleep better. The common denominator in a lot of your consistent problems (hint: it’s you!). Why a big part of depression is suppression. Why it’s important to work with healthcare providers that have the same objective as you. Why many of your decisions are not made by your current self. What healing actually is. How we create suffering in our lives by repeatedly judging our past decisions. Why acceptance is the first step to change (this is important!). How we learn through contrast. One of the major reasons we self-sabotage our progress. Why many people struggle to acknowledge and go after what they really want in life. What an expectation hangover is. What can help protect your brain from sleep deprivation. How your outer world is a reflection of your relationship to your inner-self. Why we tend to keep attracting the same type of people into our lives. Why you’ve got to become a louder voice than the voice of your limiting beliefs. How we sometimes stay in bad relationships because of our own big ego. Why it’s not our job to change other people. The difference between a positive and negative projection. How to quickly overcome feelings of jealousy and turn it into something positive. The big mistake people make when trying to identify their passion.

Every human has the capacity to achieve great things. That’s undeniable. But what makes the difference between those who step into that greatness, and those who let their potential dwindle and die? I think the answer to that question can be summed up in one word: will. When the inevitable challenges arrive in the pursuit of your goals, you need the will to push through. When things don’t go your way, how’s that willpower looking then? When simply giving yourself permission to want what you really want, you have to have the will to claim it. Willpower is not a motivational idea, it’s a necessity for anything of great success. My guest today won a Super Bowl championship in the NFL, he was voted the NFL’s fittest man, and he’s currently one of the most influential figures in the world in fitness. He will tell you that it was not his connections, it was not his natural physical attributes, it was, in fact, his will that was his superpower to help him achieve all that he has. Can you develop and flex your muscles of willpower to help you achieve your own big goals and dreams? You bet you can. And the one and only Steve Weatherford is here to help you do it. In this episode you'll discover: Why being alive in 2018 provides an extraordinary opportunity for education and connection. How Steve plays the role of Yoda for his 10-year-old son. Why it’s important to have people in your life who challenge you. What Steve’s #1 asset was in getting him to the NFL. How changing your perspective changes your entire world. Why we should all be proactively studying the personality traits of great people. How the way you treat people you can’t gain anything from says a lot about your character. How a certain degree of selfishness is required in order for you to achieve your health goals. Why comparison is a significant problem today. Why we need to be mindful to not exchange our integrity for popularity. The difference between spending your time and investing your time. What it means to “self-scout” and why Steve does this on a regular basis. How becoming self-aware puts you in a better position to be successful. The 4 phases you go through when building a new habit. Why fear is valuable emotion. What makes the difference between good and great (this is powerful!). Why it’s important to know what your own personal agenda is when you exercise. Why consistency is the #1 key to your fitness success (no matter what approach you use!). How to recognize if you are holding back or truly going all in. The benefits of eccentric training (this is valuable!). Why the uncomfortable moments in life provide huge opportunities.
