Today I talk about some of the ways our approaches to health and wellbeing have changed over the past year and consider what action we should take to help us cope with the challenges ahead. On a positive note, I’ve noticed that many of us are having our blood tested more regularly to check for potential vitamin and mineral deficiencies and, as a result, we are starting to realize which supplements are most effective in supporting our health. I hope that my latest podcast with Dr. Chris Shade helped to throw some light on this subject and gave you the information you need to figure out which supplements you should use in 2021. Over the past month, I’ve also taken some time to redefine my personal fitness goals and set my intentions for the year ahead. In a rapidly changing world, I believe it’s more important than ever to concentrate on improving our physical and mental strength and focus on working towards optimal health and happiness. Support the show

In this episode, I sit for a third time with Dr. Chris Shade, founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific. As regular listeners to the show will know, Dr. Shade is an expert in detoxification and Quicksilver Scientific is known for its highly bioavailable supplements that deliver the nutrients you need quickly and efficiently to your cells. In previous episodes, Dr. Shade and I discussed free medicine, the role of NAD in the aging process, and how to fight infections and boost your immune system. Today, we talk about detoxification, the absorption and conversion of nutrients, and how to improve your body’s metabolic function so it can start burning more fat for fuel. Proudly Sponsored By:BLUbloxLIGHT in many ways is the “master switch” for many hormones rising and falling at the right times. And if we are exposed to the wrong lights at the wrong times, our hormones respond in the wrong ways. This impacts our sleep, our energy, our attitudes, and our nutritional choices. So if there’s one thing to focus on apart from diet and exercise, it just may be LIGHT. BLUBLOX glasses, block 100% of blue and green light, come in prescription or NON, and are available in clear, amber or red lenses. If you are able it is best to order all three, so you can use the clear, blue light filtering lenses during the day, the amber as the day wears on, and red after the sun goes down. So you’re more or less replicating the natural light that would otherwise be shining down on you throughout the day if you were say, a caveman! So head on over to coachjoedi.com/BLUBLOX for a special discount and some of the products I personally use every day.Support the show

In this special episode, I share a guided meditation that my wife Emilía recently hosted on The Tribe’s online community platform. Emilía is an amazing yoga and mindfulness teacher and in this offering, she concentrates on helping you to identify your priorities and face the New Year with a renewed sense of focus, courage, and intention. She starts the session with a short guided meditation before inviting you to reflect on a list of questions designed to help get you clear on what’s most important for you in 2021. This exercise is intended to help you stay true to yourself and start living a life that is aligned with your purpose rather than settling for something small and simply conforming to the expectations of others. This is your opportunity to look back on 2020 and define your goals for 2021, so grab your journal and get ready to do some serious self-reflection.Support the show

My first guest of the year is the renowned fitness innovator and movement coach, Mike Fitch. Mike is the founder of Global Bodyweight Training and the creator of Animal Flow, a quadrupedal ground-based movement practice that helps you rediscover your body’s deepest evolutionary patterns. Mike teaches people how to master movements that were once ingrained in their DNA but have now been largely forgotten due to the sedentary nature of our modern lifestyles.This episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone who works in health and fitness or is interested in exploring new types of movement. We talk about the catalyst that inspired Mike to create the Animal Flow system and we dive deep into the health benefits of quadrupedal movement and bodyweight training. This show covers aspects of topics that I’ve discussed with previous guests such as Dr. Jen Esquer, Perry Nickelston, and Steve Capobianco and it focuses on helping people to build strong, stable, and resilient bodies that will maximize their ability to pursue injury-free health and fitness for the long term.Support the show

Welcome to the first episode of 2021. 2020 was a year that taught us a lot about ourselves and made us realize what really matters. Like many of us, I’ve had a chance to re-assess my priorities and work out where I want to focus my energy and resources in the future. For me, that means spending time with my family and my Tribe and choosing an active and engaged lifestyle that optimizes my health and allows me to be of service to others. My New Year’s resolution is to become a stronger version of myself by training hard, looking after my mental and physical wellbeing, and raising my energetic vibration. I hope that 2021 will be a year when we can start to live more courageously, with more compassion for others, and with a renewed determination to make our bodies and minds strong and ready for the battle ahead. Support the show

In this episode of the Best of Stacked 2020 series, I delve into the subject of consciousness and my guests discuss everything you need to know about raising your vibration, connecting to your highest self, and encountering the divine.  Amongst other things, we talk about the ability of the soul to survive the physical death of the body and consider the profound effects that psychedelic drugs and plant medicines can have on the brain. Above all, we focus on the persistent search to find meaning, purpose, and happiness in our lives.Proudly Sponsored ByMagnesium BreakthroughMagnesium is the body’s “master mineral” powering over 300 critical reactions within the body, including a major role in fat metabolism, energy, stress and digestion.
