Andrew Marr is a former Special Forces Green Beret, founder of Warrior Angels Foundation, an organization whose sole purpose is to stop the deaths of veterans suffering from PTSD symptoms caused by traumatic brain injuries. Marr's last deployment  in 2013 was emotionally and physically taxing where he and his Special Forces team were engaged in constant combat through it's entirety. Marr suffered numerous traumatic brain injuries from explosions, which resulted in his medical retirement.    When Marr returned to the states he began a 6 month spiral downward. Once an elite performer in life or death moments in war, Marr couldn't even remember how to drive home. He started struggling with cognition, memory, behavior, alcohol, all symptoms common with PTSD. The conventional treatment he received from the VA did not help, and so his journey to find a solution began. He joins us today to share that solution with you in the hopes that we can slow if not altogether stop the 22 veterans a day who are committing suicide thinking there is no hope or help for them. There is hope, and there is help. Andrew joins us to discuss the following:   Andrew shares how he began working with Dr. Mark Gordon & also started his journey toward treating his symptoms from TBI  Why is it important to be your own best health advocate How has clomid benefited the soldiers Warrior Angels has worked with in the last year Has there been push back from other physicians regarding Dr. Gordon's protocol  How has WAF's effort been received by the Veterans Administration  How has WAF worked with female soldiers dealing with sexual trauma & its effects on hormones How can civilians become more involved in supporting our returning veterans, beyond stating "I support the troops" How does Warrior Angels Foundation remain transparent and credible in an field filled with over 40,000 organizations specializing in helping returning combat vets What is needed to help the WAF to take their mission to the next level & how can we help How does head trauma contribute to the rise in homelessness and incarceration Why you can't always meditate your problems away What is the process to begin treatment via WAF       All this and much more:   Links & Resources mentioned in the show: Keep the LLA Podcast free. Become a monthly supporter via $5 or more on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/llapodcast Warrior Angels Foundation:  http://warriorangelsfoundation.org Purchase Aggressive Strength products: http://strengthbymahler.com Purchase Aggressive Strength Bundles:  http://budurl.com/mahlerbundles Purchase New Warrior Training products: http://newwarriortraining.com Sincere's Top 5 coffee suggestions: http://newwarriortraining.com/coffeestands/     Listen and download at http://strengthbymahler.com or http://newwarriortraining.com. also subscribe, download, rate & review us at:iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/live-life-aggressively-podcast/id646524617 Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=34706&refid=stprAlso, be sure to "like" and connect with us on our Facebook fan page at http://facebook.com/llapodcast.

He continues to be the only person in the USA to apply actual sports science, neurology and endocrinology to training programs with great success.Nate returns to the LLA show to discuss the following:     Why is there only a 5-7% success rate with fitness program Why men should look forward to morning wood more than their daily workout In an era of "online coaching," Nate shares the pros and cons of distance coaching  What can Crossfitters learn from high level athletes, in terms of recovery, program design, and strength progression Nate talks the current condition of military PT standards and why things need to change ...like, yesterday Nate shares why VO2 measurement is flawed and why is should be scrapped  Why getting caught up in the numbers, in terms of hormone optimization and/or overall health can actually work against you What can you learn from the Soviets in terms of training with more than 80% of your 1 rep max only once a year     All this and much more:   Links & Resources mentioned in the show: Help LLA friend of the show, Jase Nibourg, kick cancer's ass by donating at: http://www.gofundme.com/z3sh4v4 Keep the LLA Podcast free by becoming a monthly supporter via $5 or more on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/llapodcast Nate's Info:   http://rikrperformance.com Purchase Aggressive Strength products: http://strengthbymahler.com Purchase Aggressive Strength Bundles:  http://budurl.com/mahlerbundles Purchase New Warrior Training products: http://newwarriortraining.com     Listen and download at http://strengthbymahler.com or http://newwarriortraining.com. also subscribe, download, rate & review us at:iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/live-life-aggressively-podcast/id646524617 Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=34706&refid=stprAlso, be sure to "like" and connect with us on our Facebook fan page at http://facebook.com/llapodcast.

Anthony Roberts, a highly controversial supplement industry watchdog, (http://romanoroberts.com.mx) returns to the LLA podcast to discuss the growing presence of network marketing companies infiltrating highly visible organizations such as Crossfit, via their top athletes, to push their products. Companies such as Visalus (Body By Vi), Beach Body, Herbalife, Advocare, & Isagenix, just to name a few, are becoming ever-present in many gyms, and with popular athletes of various sports, including "the sport of fitness." The real question is, are these MLM companies or their products actually helping or hurting organizations such as Crossfit, or does getting into bed with these companies only hurt the reputations of Crossfit, its coaches and athletes, as well as other fitness professionals? Are their products as effective as their evangelist claim, or is all of it just a bunch over the top marketing to sell over-priced products that give sub-par results, at best? Better yet, is the real focus on the product or are fitness professionals utilizing "bait-and-switch/drug dealer tactics" to get their clients and colleagues to buy these products, not with the intention of hoping they deliver on the promise of helping them get healthier, but more along the lines of trying to convince the client or colleague to buy into the company and sell the product, as well, in order to create a huge sales-force to push false promises, for the sake of money, drive cars they never truly own, & trade their clients, colleagues, friends, & family's trust for the sake of a "great business opportunity?" Anthony drops in to share what he's discovered about the health & fitness-oriented network marketing business's claims regarding their products, as well as his thoughts on popular athletes such as Crossfit Games men's champion, Rich Froning's, recent connection with Advocare. On episode #69, Anthony discusses the following with Mike & Sincere: Why post workshop/seminar interactions are like a bonus seminar for free Why network marketing is similar to Jehovah's Witnesses Why most most network marketing, especially "supplement & nutritional-based" MLM companies miss the mark Anthony discusses the curious case of network marketing and Crossfit What makes fitness pros the ideal mark for most network marketing companies Why you may not want that BMW from Body By Vi Network Marketing vs. Affiliate Marketing Why the red flag should rise the next time certain network marketing nutritional companies begin their conversation with "product X is scientifically proven." Why you should think twice before running with many scientific studies   When bad marketing practices happen to good products Why most network marketing supplements are mediocre at best What network marketing nutritional companies can learn from Creatine What Joe DeFranco taught Anthony about partying on the Jersey Shore Why in the hell would someone buy and swing a 200lb kettlebell All this and much more:Listen and download at http://strengthbymahler.com or http://newwarriortraining.com. or subscribe, download, rate & review us at: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/live-life-aggressively-podcast/id646524617 Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=34706&refid=stpr Also, be sure to "like" and connect with us on our Facebook fan page at http://facebook.com/llapodcast.
