Karden is a Nervous System Medicine Practitioner, co-author of The Secret Language of the Body and co-founder of Somia international. He has been in the wellness world for over 15 years as a bodyworker and educator.  Although he helped his clients get out of pain, ironically, he began suffering from chronic back pain himself. His pain became ever more debilitating and there were times when he was bed bound, and none of the holistic or western medicine approaches were working. That’s when he began studying the psycho-emotional and neurological underpinning of chronic pain and stress based disorders, which led him to clinical training in mindbody disorders and somatic trauma therapies which allowed him 100% heal my debilitating back pain. Most of you will recognize his voice from episode 494 – a twosome with fellow nervous system practitioner Jennifer Mann on signs you’re storing unresolved trauma, why it’s okay to be triggered and the secret language of the body.  Another great conversation with an incredible human being.  Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:  ·      Feeling and acknowledging emotions is crucial for healing and well-being. ·      Repressed emotions can manifest as intense emotions when they finally surface. ·      Emotional cold plunging, gradually experiencing uncomfortable emotions, can build resilience. ·      Narrative and logic play a role in healing, but they must be combined with somatic practices. Understanding the connection between the adult brain, child brain, and animal body is crucial for regulating the nervous system. ·      The AIR model (Awareness, Interruption, Redesign) can be used to interrupt stress responses and create new neural pathways. ·      Practical techniques like physical movements (e.g., Macho Man Randy Savage) and vocalizations (e.g., voo-ah-ee) can help regulate the nervous system. ·      Rewiring neural pathways and creating new relationships with oneself are essential for emotional regulation and personal growth. ·      And more.    Sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching: https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching   Most recent appearance on the BFK podcast Episode 494 Nervous System Practitioners Jennifer Mann and Karden Rabin on Signs You’re Storing Unresolved Trauma, Why It’s Okay To Be Triggered and The Secret Language Of The Body! | Brian Keane Fitness   (Website) https://somiainternational.com/ (Instagram) Karden Rabin (@kardenrabin) • Instagram photos and videos (Youtube) Karden Rabin - YouTube (Facebook) www.facebook.com/kardenr (Most recent social media post) Karden Rabin (@kardenrabin) • Instagram photos and videos   Emotional Pain Free Micro Course programs.somiainternational.com

For fat loss, focus on nutrient-dense foods, intermittent fasting, and caloric cycling. ·      Recovery becomes more challenging as we get older, but strategies like cold plunges, stretching, and staying mobile can help. ·      Consistency is key in nutrition and training for long-term results. ·      The primary reasons eworking with a coach or mentor can greatly accelerate your progress. ·      The importance of creating an environment that supports your goals and aspirations.   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching. https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/yurielkaim1 (Website and books)  https://yurielkaim.com/ (Youtube) https://www.youtube.com/user/yelkaim1 (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/healthpreneur   (Pinterest)   https://www.pinterest.com/yurielkaim

Josh is a Holistic Nutritionist, specialising in Crohn’s and Colitis, and other related gut issues.    After reversing over 250 cases of Crohn’s and colitis (previously thought to be impossible to fix), he’s been connected to some of the world’s most renowned doctors.    He’s since been recruited to the Priority Health Academy as a medical lecturer, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and inflammatory bowel disease; and has launched a top 2.5%  globally ranked podcast. ReversABLE: The Ultimate Gut Health Podcast and is available everywhere podcasts are found    Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:  IBS and IBD (Crohn's and colitis) are on a spectrum of severity and have similar symptoms. The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in detoxification, hormonal balance, immune regulation, digestion, and nutrient production. Toxins, microbial imbalances, and diet/nutrient deficiencies are the main reasons for developing IBD. The modern diet and exposure to toxins disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome. Addressing the root causes of gut issues is crucial for reversing bowel disease and improving gut health. Toxins, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies contribute to gut imbalances and should be addressed. The gut is connected to various diseases and conditions, and addressing gut health can have a positive impact on overall health. The five steps to reverse bowel disease are drainage, removing the problem, replenishing nutrients, rebuilding the microbiome, and rejuvenating the immune system. Gut issues can be reversed, and there is hope for those struggling with bowel diseases.   Today's podcast is sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching program:  https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/joshdech.health   (Podcast) https://www.reversablepod.com/   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/groups/ibdsolutions/   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/joshdech.health   (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/joshdech.health/   (Youtube) https://www.youtube.com/@GutHealthSolution   (LinkedIN) https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-dech-5a1582106/   https://gutsolution.ca

After years of thinking that low energy, low libido, joint pain, and lackluster performance in the gym were just a part of the natural aging process, Adam didn’t realize that his hormone health was suboptimal and sabotaging his health and happiness.  His personal experience offers a unique point of view to holistic health and mindset that we are going to unpack in today’s show.  Through his work with Blokes Men’s Health and Joi Women’s Wellness, Adam is at the forefront of empowering individuals to take control of their health journey. He is passionate about helping others to understand the importance of hormone health and how it can impact every aspect of their lives. From energy levels to mood and performance, optimizing hormone balance can lead to profound transformations in overall well-being.   Here are some of the thing we talked about in today’s podcast:    Hormonal health is crucial for energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. Functional medicine takes a more comprehensive approach to hormone testing and treatment compared to traditional medicine. Nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle factors play a significant role in maintaining hormonal balance. Peptides like BPC 157 can be effective for joint pain and recovery. Peptide therapy can be an effective tool for joint recovery and repair, especially when combined with nutrition, cold exposure, contrast therapy, and sleep. Education and awareness are key in understanding the benefits of peptide therapy and overcoming the stigma associated with low testosterone in men. Understanding one's own body through diagnostic lab reports is essential for identifying deficiencies and taking targeted steps to improve hormonal health. Improving hormonal health can have a significant positive impact on energy levels, libido, and overall well-being, allowing individuals to show up as their best selves in relationships and other areas of life.   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Group Coaching Program  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online     (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553118971640   (Associated websites) https://blokes.co/   https://choosejoi.co/ (Twitter/X) https://x.com/admandew   (Social media post on Hormone health-@getblokes) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/reel/C3OTUktuEgO/   (Social media post on Hormone levels) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/reel/Cz4jjxVuqQh/

Consuming highly processed foods can have disadvantages, such as impacting energy levels and nutrient intake, and it's crucial to prioritize whole foods and nutrient-dense options. Online nutrition information can contribute to health anxieties and misinformation, and it's important to critically evaluate sources and seek evidence-based guidance from qualified professionals.  Navigating nutrition information online can be challenging due to conflicting advice and unregulated sources. Understanding head, heart, and stomach hunger can help in making mindful food choices. Fasting may have different implications for women, and individual context should be considered. The power of food for skin health lies in nourishment and what is added to the diet. Approaching nutrition from a perspective of addition and abundance is more beneficial than focusing on subtraction and scarcity.   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Program:  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online   (Website) http://nicsnutrition.com/   (Twitter / X) https://x.com/nicsnutrition   (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/nicsnutrition/   (Youtube) https://www.youtube.com/nicsnutrition   Her new book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Not-Eat-Ultra-Processed-life-changing/dp/1529940117/ref=asc_df_1529940117/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697364111492&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15625223310232723756&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007864&hvtargid=pla-2332339303124&psc=1&mcid=0e105306ee49367ca7628c893e36e8cf&th=1&psc=1&gad_source=1

Today's bonus is a very different episode.

Scott is a wall street journal best-selling author of Ultralearning: Accelerate Your Career, Master Hard Skills and Outsmart the Competition.  His work has been featured in The New York Times, BBC, TEDx, Business Insider and More.  His new book Get Better at Anything – 12 Maxims for Mastery is available now. It explores why it’s so difficult for people to learn new skills, arguing that three factors must be met to make advancement possible, and offering 12 maxims to improve the way we learn.   The MIT CHALLENGE: "In 2012, I decided to try to learn MIT’s 4-year undergraduate computer science curriculum in 12 months, without taking any classes. I was successful in passing the final exams for 33 classes and completing the required programming projects. You can view my TEDx Talk regarding the challenge" Scott H.Young.  I’m currently learning Spanish (a mental challenge) and Muay Thai (a physical challenge) so this episode will be great for anyone looking to learn a skill; and the framework Scott created to do so.    Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:  How building permanent habits requires understanding the carrying cost and reducing the effort required to sustain them. The role motivation plays in pursuing difficult goals, and reducing friction can help sustain motivation. The misconception around traditional learning styles and why it has little evidence to support it. The secret with desirable difficulties, such as variable practice and retrieval practice; and how it can enhance learning and memory retention. Unlearning old skills and techniques may be necessary when learning something new. The principles of retrieval and retention in Ultra Learning have been particularly impactful for readers. Invest time in meta-learning before starting a new skill or subject. Why you need to expose yourself to your fears to overcome them and reduce anxiety.

Dr. Shanahan is the leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism. A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author of The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition and Food Rules, her expertise is fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity, weight gain, diabetes, cancer and accelerated aging processes. Her passion is helping people feel their best. Her new book - Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back is available now.  Her book Deep Nutrition – Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food was voted one of the Best Health and Wellness Books of 2017 by Sports Illustrated and has a blurb from the late Kobe Bryant, former NBA player with the L.A Lakers.  “[Deep Nutrition is] a different philosophy, It's something that we all had to adjust to, but we trust Dr. Cate implicitly. I've seen great results from it from when I started doing it―it’s worked well for me.” --Kobe Bryant Note: In the EU (vs USA) Rapeseed oil can be a cheaper and decent source of healthy fats but tends to be highly processed, which may lower its nutritional value and alter its health effects. When possible, try to select cold-pressed or minimally refined rapeseed oil, both of which retain most of this oil's original nutrients and benefits. Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:  Metabolic damage – what it is and why we need to avoid it Insulin resistance and why it can be so difficult to lose weight if eating too many dark calories The “Hateful 8”: cottonseed, corn, canola, soybean, sunflower, grapeseed, rice bran and safflower oil and better alternatives.  The role vegetable oils play in depleting antioxidants which leads to us ageing faster.  The misconceptions that metabolism always slows down with age Connecting your food with nature and how to eat with intention.

Thais is a best-selling author, counsellor, speaker, and leader in the personal development field.  She founded The Personal Development School to provide a more accessible, authentic way to transform your life. Utilizing the Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™, she empowers individuals to overcome their attachment styles and reprogram any limiting thoughts and behaviors, creating long-lasting and enlightening change. She has been recognized by Psychology Today, Time Business News, The New York Post, Yahoo! News, Success Magazine, CEO Weekly, and many other outlets for her cutting-edge research on the subconscious mind and personal transformation.  Thais has a Ph.D. and is certified in over 13 modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, NLP, Somatic Processing, and Trauma Work.  Through her academic training and client-based research, Thais has created renowned and inspiring courses for personal development, growth, and relationships. These teachings have been distilled into the in-depth programs, courses, and modules inside of The Personal Development School. Here are some of things we talked about in today’s podcast: Attachment styles are subconscious rules we have for love and connection that are formed in childhood. Our subconscious mind plays a significant role in our beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions. Core wounds from childhood are stored in the subconscious mind and can impact our relationships. Reprogramming core wounds can be done through techniques like autosuggestion and meeting our unmet needs.  Coping mechanisms are subconscious strategies to meet our needs or provide relief from negative thoughts and beliefs. Understanding and addressing core wounds is crucial for developing healthier coping mechanisms. Setting boundaries around coping mechanisms can be beneficial for emotional well-being. Practicing vulnerability in small increments through exposure work can help individuals overcome their fear of unpacking uncomfortable emotions and experiences. Self-compassion is essential on the journey of healing, and taking responsibility for personal growth is key to creating positive change.

Russell is an MD and Anxiety/Neuroscience Expert.  As a physician, somatic intuitive, certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and a professional stand-up comedian who struggled with crippling anxiety for decades and has finally healed, he is here to personally guide people through non-traditional treatments for anxiety.  Using a combination of neuroscience, somatic work and psychedelics, he’s uncovered a brand-new way of approaching and healing anxiety in himself and his patients. Instead of your anxiety completely controlling you, he will show you how to completely control your anxiety. He is also the author of the book Anxiety Rx A New Prescription for Anxiety Relief from the Doctor Who Created It.   Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:  Anxiety is deeply rooted in the body and requires a somatic approach for effective treatment. The alarm anxiety cycle explains the connection between trauma, body sensations, and anxious thoughts. Psychedelics and alternative therapies offer potential solutions for anxiety relief, but somatic therapy is a crucial foundation for healing. Understanding the body-mind disconnect and addressing childhood trauma are essential for managing anxiety. The resistance to body-based therapy and the role of addictions in avoiding self-love are important considerations in anxiety treatment. Psychedelics can be a potential treatment for anxiety, but the timing and approach are crucial. Anxiety creates a sense of control, and psychedelics take away that sense of control, making it challenging for individuals with anxiety. Uncertainty is the foundation of healing, and embracing uncertainty is essential for overcoming anxiety.   Book : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anxiety-Rx-Prescription-Relief-Created/dp/1734426543/ref=asc_df_1734426543/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=499348463277&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11067959462576997982&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=2372&hvtargid=pla-1001395589482&psc=1&mcid=2c7796345a5d38529003224b9d23db83&th=1&psc=1   (Website) home (mykajabi.com) (LinkedIn) Dr. Russell Kennedy - Russell G Kennedy B.Sc, MD | LinkedIn (Youtube) Dr Russell Kennedy - THE ANXIETY MD - YouTube (Tiktok) Dr. Russell Kennedy (@theanxietymd) | TikTok (Facebook) Facebook (Podcast and most recent Social media post) Russell Kennedy, MD + Anxiety/Neuroscience Expert (@theanxietymd) • Instagram photos and videos

David is one of the world’s foremost experts on grief and loss.    His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has taught him the secrets to living a happy and fulfilled life, even afterlife’s tragedies.    He is the author of six books, including his most recent bestselling book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He co authored two books with Elisabeth Kubler Ross, including On Grief and Grieving updated her 5 stages for grief. His first book, The Needs of The Dying received praise from Saint (Mother) Teresa.   David’s personal experience as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital helped him begin his journey. For most of his life, David has taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about the end of life, trauma, and grief.    He facilitates talks, workshops and retreats for those experiencing grief. However, despite his vast knowledge on grief, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. It inspired him to write his newest book, Finding Meaning.   He is someone whose work has had a profound impact on my life in recent months and the world is truly a better place because of him being here.  He is also the founder of www.grief.com which has over five million visits yearly from 167 countries.   Here are some of things we talked about in today’s podcast:  The worst loss is the one you're going through; comparing losses only harms yourself. Heartbreak is a form of grief, and all endings are a type of death. The stages of grief are not a linear process; everyone experiences them differently. Changing the story we tell ourselves about grief can help in the healing process. Grief must be witnessed by others; isolation only prolongs the healing journey. Our true essence is love, and all other voices are our old wounds. Allow yourself to walk through the pain and face it, as running from it will only prolong the healing process. Grief is messy and non-linear; it's important to allow the messiness and be with where you are. Be with your grief but don't let it become your identity; find healing by not letting past events control your decisions and actions. Finding meaning in grief and loss is about who we become and how we show up in the world.       (Website) Grief.com (Instagram) David Kessler (@iamdavidkessler) • Instagram photos and videos (Twitter) David Kessler (@IamDavidKessler) / X (twitter.com) (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/IamDavidKessler (LinkedIn) David Kessler, FACHE - Grief.com | LinkedIn (Youtube) David Kessler - YouTube (Pinterest) David Kessler (davidkessler) - Profile | Pinterest

Dr. Grayson is a behavior change communications consultant who teaches about Public Health Communications in the Master of Public Health Program in the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.  Her life changed in 2016 when she suddenly realized that she had been concealing a lifelong dependence on sugar and carbs beneath a web of denial (“It’s just a sweet tooth”) and rationalization (“I’ve been good so deserve a treat”).  After she taught herself to quit, she started helping others do the same by creating the program Breaking Free from Sugar, which has helped over 3,000 people successfully reduce how much sugar they eat.

Today’s podcast is a solo episode.    As opposed to a recap podcast or even going through what happened in detail (as I sum that up in about 5 minutes) – I talk through some of the mindset elements I struggled with the most: expecting the unexpecting, just because something is difficult doesn’t make it valuable, not forcing things to happen etc   Hopefully there is a value here regardless of what stage of life you are in or the difficulties you may be currently going through.    Short written recap:  As some of you know, I flew out to Kyrgyzstan (beside China) to run 200km over five days up the Tian Shan mountain range. The plan was to hike for three days to acclimatize to the altitude and then run for 5 days up Tian Shan; but unfortunately, after picking up an infection in the capital Bishek, I only made basecamp 1 before I got hit with severe sickness.    Here’s the story about it and what I learnt from the experience.        Shownotes:  Quick links to all my programs, courses and books  https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/   BTU discount code: KEANE300

Logan is a behavioral scientist turned dating coach, and the author of How To Not Die Alone. As the Director of Relationship Science at the dating app Hinge, she leads a research team dedicated to helping people find love. After studying psychology at Harvard, she ran Google’s behavioral science team—the Irrational Lab. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME. The Washington Post, GQ, Glamour, Vice, and on HBO and the BBC. Today’s podcast goes deep on all things dating and relationships. It’s a full-circle podcast from meeting someone to breakups and finding the one—we cover it all today. Also, I touch on some of my personal attachment styles and previous dating tendencies; so, today’s episode goes through some new topics not previously explored on the podcast. Key Points · Each of the three dating tendencies have to do with unrealistic expectations. The romanticizer has unrealistic expectations of relationships. The maximizer has unrealistic expectations of their partner. The hesitator has unrealistic expectations of themselves. Unrealistic expectations of any kind create huge problems because, even if things are going great, the person is never satisfied with what they have at present. · Our society has become obsessed with “the spark”: the idea of instant chemistry, that pang of connection; that feeling when you walk into a room and everything else fades and you can only focus on that person. Now, the spark is a wonderful thing; but you should not be selecting your long-term life partner based on it as it’s nothing more than a first impression. Instead, go for the slow burn and get to know the person beyond first impressions. · Becoming ready for marriage is a matter of the level of your intentionality. You have to exercise the same muscles that you do to strengthen your growth mindset and goal-orientedness and know how you want your future to look. With regard to marriage itself, ask yourself a series of questions, such as whether you see yourself with your partner in the long run and how you’ve both weathered conflict. Then, ask your partner questions such as how many kids you want to have, the religion you want to raise them on, and how you want to manage your finances.

Emily Morse is a Doctor of Human Sexuality and the host of the longest-running sexual wellness podcast Sex with Emily. She is also the best-selling author of the book Hot Sex: Over 200 Things You Can Try Tonight. Emily has helped millions of people around the world navigate their sex lives. Her candid conversations challenge cultural taboos, misinformation and awkward sex talks to create a future where people can deeply connect and embrace pleasure-filled lives. Warning: This podcast is content of an adult nature. This is a very wide-ranging conversation around all things sex (for single people and those in relationships) but here are some of thing things we talked about in today’s podcast: Key Points · Pleasure is our birthright, and it goes beyond sex. We should be deliberately setting aside time everyday to go toward those things that give us pleasure. For one reason or another, there are times when we feel the need to stifle or numb pleasurable feelings. In the context of sex, this is one of the big reasons many topics have become taboo, and why many men and women find having these conversations with their partners very uncomfortable. · A lot of people believe that scheduling sex is the least sexy thing you can do because it just seems like another task instead of being spontaneous. But the whole point of scheduling sex is that everyone is so busy nowadays that everything is prioritized before sex. Before we know it, days, or even weeks, go by and nothing happens. By having sex scheduled, you incentivize yourself to prepare for it and make it worthwhile for both partners. · “When we heal ourselves sexually, we heal so many other parts of our life.” Many people look at sex as an “outlier”. Physical, mental, and spiritual health are all the rage now, and sexual health is like the “bastard child” of the wellness industry. On the extreme end, some people have experienced sexual assault. For most others, there is low self-esteem around one’s sex life. Once we come to terms with these “underlying roadblocks” to a healthy sex life—perhaps via therapy, other times by simply having open conversations with our partner about sex—other areas of our life improve, such as having boosts in our immune system, serotonin, and other feel-good hormones.

Vicki is a motivational speaker, adventurer, entrepreneur and world record holder.  After 20 years in a relationship that limited and stifled her, former advertising professional, turned fitness pioneer and award-winning entrepreneur, Vicki became one of the first ever women to participate in Channel 4’s ‘SAS Who Dares Wins’, reaching the final stages after 11 days in extreme conditions at an altitude of 3,000ft in Chile.

Today’s episode is a fly-on-the-wall conversation with one of my closest friends, Paul Dermody. We focused initially on nutrition and diet and then went in a different direction about halfway through the episode. If you enjoyed any of our previous conversations with a similar show structure, then this is not to be missed. Key Points · Many of us have a tendency to overestimate our nutritional knowledge. Paul encourages us to reflect on why we think about food the way we do, especially if we’re stuck in our health and fitness goals. Cultivate self-awareness around where you’re taking in your information and humble yourself to embrace the possibility that there may be gaps in your knowledge—and that some of that “knowledge” may be outright wrong. · Suffering comes from our belief that we can predict the behavior or thoughts of other people. It’s unproductive to rely only on the little voice inside your head, because more often than not, we tend to be our own worst critic and overrationalize situations when relying on our own assumptions. Don’t try to predict the intentions of other people. It’s almost always a fruitless endeavor. · It’s easy to get wrapped up in the idea that this one achievement or one event or one purchase will make you happy. What usually happens is, once those goals are reached, whatever high you experience always turns out to be temporary, and you’re off chasing the next goal. True happiness is found in the moment and counting all the small blessings that we tend to take for granted, and not in simply pining for targets that we may or may never hit.

Orla O’ Flaherty is a herbalist, naturopath, and nutritionist who specialises in female health. She’s also one of my closest friends, and we go deep on hormones (for women and men) in today’s podcast. This one is worth saving for a couple of relistens as there are knowledge bombs left, right, and center in today’s episode. Brought to you in partnership with Lets Get Checked. To get 30% OFF your first time order, enter the code KEANE30 at checkout. Key Points · Most people know that what we put into our system has a direct effect on our health. That said, the general public has accepted as healthy certain foods that actually have negative effects on your body. Oats are a great source of carbohydrates, reduce anxiety, and promote sleep; but at the same time oats are proinflammatory because they contain what are known as phytates. Then there is soy, which contains phytoestrogens that may adversely affect hormones. Unless your soy is organic, non-GMO, and fermented, Orla advises keeping it out of your diet. · Before looking at how to boost your sex drive, the first thing to ask yourself is why your sex drive is low in the first place. For women, predominantly, there is an issue with their estrogen and testosterone—their estrogen levels may not be rising optimally, and their testosterone isn’t being activated. Women on the pill will automatically have a lower sex drive. For men, especially those over 45, low sex drive is usually due to low testosterone levels. Men under 45 with low sex drive, on the other hand, may be experiencing psychological issues. · Stress is not only one of the biggest culprits when it comes to fertility issues, but it makes the sex act itself robotic. “My first thing is to get women to stop trying,” says Orla. In addition, beware “The Two-Week Wait” following ovulation when a woman waits to see whether they are pregnant. Those two weeks may turn into two months or two years, which only serves to compound their stress levels.

He has won several academic awards and published over 700 academic papers, a large proportion of which relate directly to nutrition and the causes of obesity. Since 2011 he has been leading the largest microbiome project in the UK, using genetic sequencing to study the bacteria in the guts of 5,000 twins. He is the lead investigator for BRITISH GUT, the UK’s largest open-source science project to understand the microbial diversity of the human gut. He is a prolific writer with several popular science and diet books, the most recent of which will be the focus of today’s conversation. That book is called Spoon-Fed: Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong. If you’ve never questioned the conventional “wisdom” when it comes to the food choices you make, or you just geek out on nutrition and anything to do with the gut (like me), then this is a must-listen. Key Points Personalized nutrition is the way to go. As Tim explains, mainstream consensus on proper caloric intake, macro ratio, and the like are basing numbers off of a mythical ideal human being. Women needing 2000 calories per day and men needing 2500 per day is based on very crude averages that ignore all the latest science about how our body uses different foods differently even if they have the same calories. If you want to improve your gut health, the main focus should be on increasing the diversity of species. There is no one probiotic that will optimize gut health. You need more strains to produce a wider range of chemicals. People who, every week, avoid ultra-processed foods and eat 30 different types of plants, nuts, seeds, and herbs that are high in polyphenols have the most diversity in their microbiome. They also don’t snack to rest their microbes. We’re all unique in how we process different kinds of foods. There is no one-size-fits-all nutrition plan. You need to experiment with different foods and portion sizes to see what your body and brain best respond to. All the while, always look after your gut microbes. Gut health is an incredibly underrated factor in human wellness. If you make it a point to maintain a diverse microbiome, your overall health will skyrocket.

For  instance, there is no such thing as “good” and “bad” foods; just foods with different calorie and  nutrient values that you eat according to your health and fitness goals. For folks in the U.K., it  will also help to dispense with the common “clear your plate” maxim that most people are  taught as a child. Unlearn whatever you need to, and take emotion out of eating.

    This Episode first aired on 25th January 2021.   Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review.   Chris is the host of the Modern Wisdom podcast, owns an events company in the UK and is a life coach who specialises in helping people to get more out of life.  His platforms talk about how to live a good life, finding your purpose, maximising human  performance, productivity, fitness and psychology.  His passion lies in learning about himself and the world around him. Today’s episode was a very  enjoyable conversation that focuses heavy on the mindset side of things.  Key Points  Finding your purpose, quite obviously, is not an overnight process. Many find it elusive and  don’t even know where to start. Chris gives us the very first step in uncovering your purpose,  and that’s by asking yourself: “Do I look forward to getting out of bed every morning?” If not,  you’re probably heading in the wrong direction. Seek out other voices, whether in  podcast/video form (i.e. Jordan Peterson) or face-to-face support. Once you can easily answer  the question, “What do I want to want?” (writing down your ideal life is an excellent practice),  you’re on your way.  When it comes to choosing your circle of friends, given the choice between honesty and  acceptability, you need to choose honesty. As social creatures, we naturally desire to be  accepted in our group, even if we have to put on a persona—or at least restrict what we say or  who we are—just to maintain our place in the circle. As quickly as possible, find a way to cut out  those “friends” that make your life actively worse and find new ones with whom you can truly  be yourself so that you get empowered to become the person you really desire to be.  Don’t focus solely on the goals you want to achieve because most people will burn out or lose  interest along the way, especially if it’s a long-term goal. Instead, set a goal and define it well,  then immediately put your energy into the day-to-day, week-to-week process that will get you  to that goal. “Your outcomes in life,” says Chris, “are a lagging measure of your daily habits.”  This applies to every aspect of life, from fitness to finances to education. Detach your sense of  being from the achievement of the goal and find fulfilment in the journey.

This has been coming into my space a lot recently, and its outside the scope of this podcast; so instead I have a created a short cheat sheet (a free guide) for anyone who is working as a teacher but wants to pursue their passion into fitness.  It's just some lessons I learnt along the way that should be helpful. There is no course or program or anything off the back of this, I just wanted to create a short resource that might help.  Feel free to pass it onto any family members or friends who might find it useful.  Click Here to download The Teacher To Trainer Cheat Sheet

  This episode first aired 28 December 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/                Today’s episode is a press-record-and-talk-solo mindset podcast.  2020 has been a crazy year, but there are always nuggets of gold to be found even in the  unlikeliest of places. Today’s podcast is a reflection on some of the biggest moments that  changed my life (for the better) and how to keep your eyes open for the opportunities that are  bound to present themselves as this year draws to a close.  Brain tattoo for 2021  “When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things an opportunity to catch up.”  Here are six moments that changed my life forever  ∙ My first day of teaching and realising my ladder was against the wrong wall ∙ The first fitness model show and the confidence it gave me—I finally set a goal and didn’t let fear stop me from doing it.  ∙ Who will cry when you die—the boat experience from the Breakthrough retreat  ∙ My daughter being born—my priority shift and getting clearer on what is really  important to me  ∙ The Sahara and the questioning of my own self-limiting beliefs  ∙ The Arctic and my association with pain: How to become the oak tree in the storm and the strongest person at your parents or loved ones' funeral  Key Points  ∙Get clear on the goal you’re shooting for and keep making sure along the way that it’s  truly the goal you want. Unfortunately, even the keenest of us only realize much later on  that the relationship we’re in is toxic, or that the career ladder we’re on is leaning  against the wrong wall. From fear disguised as practicality to worrying about what others  think about us, there are a myriad of reasons why we fail to see that we’re walking down  the wrong path. The first step is to detach yourself emotionally from the situation you’re  in, then shuttle that emotional energy into the alternative that is more in line with what  you desire. Then, it’s all about taking small action steps to get there. It takes a ton of  discipline and patience, but  you’ll find a way if it's your goal.  ∙When feeling fearful about anything, anchor a time in the past where you also felt fear              yet did whatever you were supposed to do anyway (even better if it was a similar type of fear to the one you’re feeling now). Set small goals for yourself that you can visualize as adding legs to a table. Just like working out, this “progressive overload” approach builds up your pain tolerance for the activity you’re doing. To use the old cliché, if you’re frozen in fear at the prospect of eating that giant elephant, go for one small bite at a time.  You’ll be shocked down the road at how much you’ve already conquered.  ∙Success is rarely a consistent upward slope. If you find yourself falling backwards after making some progress, don’t despair. We all go through it. Simply take the rut you found  yourself in as an opportunity to troubleshoot what has been exposed as a weakness.  This is the key: to realize that, as human beings, we need constant moments of recalibration as we grow. As long as you catch yourself falling behind and course correct going forward, you’re on the right track.    Be an oak tree in the storm and just move forward with clarity and purpose.

    This episode first aired 21 December 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/    Today’s solo podcast is a training deep dive.  It goes through everything you need to know when it comes to training, cardio and creating your own workout program.    If you struggle with the training side of weight or fat loss and body composition, then this episode is not to be missed.  This is a companion piece to podcast 291 Nutrition Deep Dive. Together they will give you everything you need to create your own diet and training program based on your goals.    Episode Outline      ∙ Getting clear on the goal and different training styles that complement them  ∙Training for body composition–what I do in BKF online program: hypertrophy, Circuits,  HIIT or finishers  ∙ Push, pull, legs vs full body vs upper lower training splits. The pros and cons of each  ∙ NEAT and why you don’t need exercise to lose weight  ∙ HIIT or LISS cardio pros and cons  ∙ The benefits of a gym and getting over gym anxiety (what to do, what I advise and what  I do in programs)  ∙ Experimenting with various training styles to see what you enjoy the most  ∙ How to design your own training programs–exercise choice, reps, sets, rest, tempo  ∙ Following an influencer program vs creating your own vs working with a coach  Key Points  ∙When it comes to your training, very similar to nutrition, you can’t hit a target you can’t  see; so get clear on the goal from the front-end, and then you can apply the different  training styles on the back-end. In a way, making sure you hit a particular fitness goal  requires you to work backwards to make the process easier to swallow. You’re essentially  building a structure from the ground-up, the foundation of that structure being your  end-goal. The amount and type of cardio, weight training, and other routines you need  to incorporate depend upon having the correct foundation and knowing how to build  upon it.  ∙There is no “best” training or nutrition program out there. The right workout and diet  plan for you depend entirely on your preferences, lifestyle, and specific goals. It begins  with getting clear on the nutritional plan that is sustainable for you. From there, you  create a training regimen around it that accomplishes the fitness goal you’re after while  being conducive to the type of exercises that your body responds best to, your schedule,  and other lifestyle considerations.  ∙Perhaps just as important as finding the right style of training that works for you, is  sticking with training that you enjoy. Sometimes it comes at the expense of certain goals.  For example, Brian loves weight training even if it’s counterproductive to performing at  his best as an endurance athlete. But he enjoys it, so he’s willing to sacrifice his goal of being the best runner. There is no right or wrong choice.   The only question is:  Which goal do you want bad enough? 

Shona is a personal trainer and yoga teacher with over 420k followers on Instagram and one of the most popular yoga channels in the UK on YouTube.  Shona's method, developed during her decade of teaching, combines weighted resistance training and cardio with her life-long passions - yoga and meditation – placing just as much importance on rest and recovery as hours in the gym in the pursuit of fitness. We got through so much in this episode and it's definitely one I will be going back over; so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.  Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:    What got her into health and fitness whilst growing up in Australia How she moved from a 1:1 training into social media and the UK culture and weather shock Why your body is a temple, not a gym and the importance of using fitness to enhance your experience of life, not dominate it.  How over-identifying with your body can lead you down a path of unhappiness that will catch up with you when you’re injured, aged, or ill. The reason fitness should never come at the cost of health.  How fitness is a celebration of what your body can do and an opportunity to push it into adaptation, another amazing feature of this human life. It’s not about repenting for perceived dietary or lifestyle sins. Using science to guide but not override what you’re feeling. Let the magic ten guide your next steps.  And much more..    (LINKS) https://shonavertue.com   (YOUTUBE) Shona Vertue - YouTube (TWITTER) Shona Vertue (@ShonaVertue) / Twitter (INSTAGRAM) Shona Vertue (@shona_vertue) | Instagram (FACEBOOK) Shona Vertue | Facebook (BOOK) The Vertue Method: A stronger, fitter, healthier you – in 28 days: Vertue, Shona: 9781473653344: Amazon.com: Books

          This episode first aired 30 November 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/    In this episode, Brian speaks with Mabel Katz, a speaker, author, and seminar leader who is internationally acclaimed and recognized as the main authority on Ho’oponopono, an ancient  Hawaiian art to obtain greater clarity in order to better achieve objectives to live and work effectively.    Mabel is the world’s number one Hispanic speaker, with over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, more than 783,000 followers on Facebook, and more than 122,000 followers on Instagram.  Her ability to radically change people’s lives through her system of getting them back to Zero Frequency has garnered this global adulation.  Zero Frequency is the state of erasing all of the self-sabotaging beliefs, memories, negative thoughts, worries and dissonant emotions that interfere with living from the state of complete presence, total inspiration and peace.  Mabel has brought her formula to the world in her new book Zero Frequency®, The Easiest Way  to Peace, Happiness and Abundance which we dive into during today’s podcast.  Listen is as Mabel discusses how to overcome fear and do it anyway, the link between  expectations and unhappiness, why accepting yourself is the key to disconnecting with the  opinions of others, why you need to forgive others if you want to find true peace, why thinking  is an addiction and the power of being present, and getting yourself back to the baseline of zero  frequency.  Episode outline  ∙ Mabel’s background and what brought her down her current path  ∙What is “zero frequency”?  ∙Why we all have that voice in our heads that tells us we’re not good enough  ∙ Fighting past fear to do it anyway  ∙ Bringing our subconscious programming to the forefront                ∙ Letting go of expectations  ∙ Changing the trajectory of your life today by accepting yourself and listening to your  heart  ∙ The most common way people self-sabotage  ∙ Why we struggle to forgive  ∙ Freeing ourselves from the comparison trap  ∙ Practicing abundance  Key points  ∙The idea behind zero frequency is to avoid reacting to whatever challenges life throws at  you. You will always have problems. That is what life is all about. We are here to learn  and become better people. The problem is not the problem itself, but your reaction to  the problem. As human beings, it is okay to be bothered, but by going right back to the  baseline of zero frequency right away, we can nip negativity in the bud. With zero  frequency, we can examine any event objectively through a neutral lens that allows us to  shed any semblance of victim mentality and proceed in a proactive manner.  ∙Zero frequency is about living a more conscious life and understanding what is in the  moment, right now. Whenever you experience fear, realize that these emotions are  being triggered by past events that may or may not have anything to do with what is  happening right now. However you decide to act, the very first thing to do is to not allow  your subconscious to dictate your next step for you, and take back control.  ∙The only place you can find true freedom, happiness, and peace is within yourself. Do  not depend on anything or anybody else to be happy. By being at peace with yourself,  you become a magnet for those opportunities that are perfect for you. We have the  power within ourselves to manifest whatever is truly important to us, so we do ourselves  a disservice to look for that power in other things or other people. Make the decision  today to accept yourself, no matter your perception of your present circumstances. Your  life will instantly transform for the better.

  This episode first aired on 09 November 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/    In this episode, Brian speaks with Isabella Robinson, a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr), certified Intuitive eating counsellor and qualified Nutritional Therapist (BANT, CNHC) with a special interest in disordered eating, food anxieties, body image and nutrition for mental health.    Listen as Isabella dives deep into managing disordered eating, the problem with diet culture, and handling food addiction. Episode Outline  ∙ Isabella’s journey as a nutritionist  ∙ A common misconception about sugar  ∙ Where misconceptions come from  ∙ Eliminating “diet mentality”  ∙ Helping a client who claims to have a certain food “addiction” (i.e. chocolate)  ∙ Isabella’s thoughts on intuitive eating and common myths around it  ∙ Confusing hunger with other emotions or physical sensations                ∙ Factors that lead to eating disorders  ∙ What Isabella is most excited about right now  ∙Beware of headlines. The food industry profits off of misinformation and misconceptions  that many people today have around nutrition. It helps greatly to double-check certainly  modern beliefs about food: Are all calories created equal? Is a potato  just  sugar? If you have specific health or fitness goals, it’s best to consult with a nutritionist.  ∙Beware of diet mentality. A lot of people may not be on a labelled diet, but they do  adopt the mindset of a dieter. It’s important to be aware of the psychology behind  certain beliefs or punishments that rule your interactions with food. For instance, having  “a little extra” because you ate a slice of cake and “ruined” the day is one of the biggest  sabotagers in one’s path to living a consistently healthier lifestyle. Having “addictions” to  certain foods like chocolate warrant a closer look as well: Perhaps you’re just placing  chocolate on a pedestal because you’ve put it on the “forbidden list”? The common  thread between all of these thoughts is a tendency to blame ourselves as helpless when  it comes to eating healthier, which does nothing more than lead us down a vicious cycle  of making the wrong choices and subsequently punishing ourselves for them.  ∙The key to intuitive eating is aiming toward authentic well-being. This holistic approach  to food requires you to take what your body is communicating to you in real-time and  blend that with objective, scientific principles on nutrition, instead of simply looking for  a one-size-fits-all diet.

Dr. Prologo is a graduate of The Ohio State University School of Medicine. He has spent the majority of his career researching new solutions for pain and weight loss. He is most well-known for pioneering a procedure to block hunger, allowing people to reach a critical point beyond which dieting was no longer a struggle – work that allowed him to define the critically acclaimed “Catching Point” beyond which diet and exercise are easier for those trying to lose weight.  The Catching Point itself, and the strategy to get there are outlined in his book: The Catching Point Transformation. In today’s podcast, we unpack all things weight loss and dietary adherence. This is a nice back and forth conversation as opposed to a straight up interview so hopefully you enjoy it.  Why ‘Mind Over Matter’ Is Bulls#$% for a weight loss goal  Why dietary adherence is 95% of your weight loss progress Understanding the hormones that make dietary adherence so much harder  The metabolic reasons why hunger and low energy in a calorie restricted plan leads you to falling off track How to boost your metabolism with exercise and why this can potentially increase cravings for healthier food His unpopular opinion on using exercise BEFORE looking at nutrition (and the reasons why)  Focusing on recovery with food vs calorie counting How to stay on track during the days in between workouts (a diet danger zone for people)    Website link: www.drprologo.com

Sara is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist who specializes in online pelvic floor fitness programs.  Her goal is to save the world one vagina at a time by providing expert care for your down there.    “Our healthcare system is currently doing a terrible disservice to people with vaginas. Postpartum “care,” for instance, is little more than a six-week permission slip to return to exercise and sex. And if we happen to have any concerns, they’re brushed off. “Welcome to motherhood,” or, “That’s normal at your age,” we’re told. But that is not OK.   Since 2006, Sara has worked with thousands of women suffering from pelvic floor problems, and I decided something had to change and feels that we shouldn’t be normalizing pelvic floor problems. We ought to be normalizing pelvic floor conversations.   And so, The Vagina Whisperer was born. She created this space so that every vagina owner out there—can finally get the care they deserve.   Here are some of the things we discussed outside of the topics in the title:  The main reasons for painful sex Best practices for exercising during pregnancy  How the Vagina Whisperer movement grew and now has over 390k Instagram followers.  Social media and unrealistic expectations for post pregnancy realties to be aware of.

Rashad is a former UFC Light Heavy Weight Champion and UFC Hall of Famer.  Rashad knows a thing or two about the connection between mind and body, and the importance of having both in sync. He credits mushrooms for that one-two punch of focus + energy in training and competition, and then easing the transition from fighter to “just getting back to being me.” He is passionate about transforming sports nutrition and transforming access to education so that others can have the same opportunities that he did.   Sports injuries and the lasting mental damage caused as a result can impact athletes for decades even after they’ve left the game. This is especially true in high contact sports like football and mixed martial arts. The conversation is now turning towards functional mushrooms and the health benefits they could be holding when it comes to supporting injured players.    Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast   The evolution in sports nutrition with functional mushrooms Micro dosing psilocybin Spiritual dosages of psilocybin and the profound impacts it had on Rashad’s life  The most underrated functional mushrooms (for gut health and recovery)  And much more      Social media   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sugarashadevans/?hl=en Twitter - https://twitter.com/SugaRashadEvans Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sugarashadevans   https://getumbo.com

Glenn Livingston Ph.D is a veteran psychologist who become disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals and spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants.    Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more light-hearted relationship with food.   He is the author of the book Never Binge Again  which goes through How Thousands of People Have Stopped Overeating and Binge Eating - and Stuck to the Diet of Their Choice! (By Reprogramming Themselves to Think Differently About Food.) This was an interesting conversation around binge eating.

Rob and Yvonne have been together for 20 years, married 12, and are the parents of two young boys. Like so many couples and families out there, they fell into the trap of convenient food, takeaways and eating out, thinking they were far too busy to cook! After their first holiday alone without the boys, they returned feeling tired, overweight and almost depressed. Their weight had increased and their energy levels had decreased, therefore they knew something had to change. They set themselves goals, supported each other and committed to losing weight together. Over the course of two years, they went on to lose a whopping 13 stone (over 180 pounds).  I’ve been dying to do this episode for nearly a year now; so, I hope you get as inspired from it as I did.  Some of the topics we talked about in today’s podcast.    ·      Their journey to losing over 180 pounds in 2 years (and keeping it off)  ·      The mindset shift of ‘dieting’ vs a lifestyle change.  ·      The only thing you have to give up for weight loss are excuses ·      New year weight loss pitfalls to watch out for  ·      Self-belief and its importance for long term weight loss   Shownotes:  Rob and Yvonne’s Website: https://robandyvonne.ie/corporate/ Rob and Yvonne’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robandyvonne/?hl=en   BRIANS LINKS: The online business podcast https://briankeanefitness.com/business-podcast/   How to move your PT business online course https://briankeanefitness.com/online-business-course/   Rewire Your Mindset course (new): https://briankeanefitness.com/rewire-your-mindset-course/   BKF Online Course: https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online/

Full interview from The Innerfight Podcast  Hosted by Marcus Smith  Subscribe to Innerfight Podcast http://www.innerfight.com/category/podcasts/   Brian Keane is no stranger to the InnerFight podcast as this is the third time we get him on.  For those of you that have listened to Brian in the past or to his podcast, you will know he has a unique energy and passion for life. Without briefing him until 30 seconds before we recorded this show during his recent visit to Dubai I started firing deep questions around self-awareness to Brain. Self-awareness is something that we hear spoken about a lot and for many, I think you will agree we know we should have it, we may have even read books on it and we totally buy into it. However, like many of these things actually practising it on a daily basis is something else. In fact, how do we practice self-awareness? What are the checkpoints? What should we be doing? These are all questions that I fire at Brain during this chat and he has some great answers. I am sure you will enjoy this show. Thanks for listening and if you do enjoy it why not share it with a friend that you think it may help.   =================== Brian's Links Rewire Your Mindset Seminar https://briankeanefitness.com/product/rewire-your-mindset-seminar/ Brian's Books Can Be Found Here: https://tinyurl.com/BRIANSKEANEBOOKS

Sanjay Rawal is a documentary filmmaker. He spent a decade in human rights philanthropy before realizing he could deepen his impact by turning a lens on cultures and communities worthy of notice. Hence was born a career in documentary filmmaking. Sanjay’s documentaries include Ocean Monk, Challenging Impossibility, and Food Chains, which takes a hard look at migrant farm labour exploitation. Sanjay’s latest offering and the focus of today’s conversation is 3100: Run and Become. A behind-the-scenes immersion into the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race — the world’s most elusive and elite, multi-day running race. Held annually around one utterly unremarkable half-mile urban sidewalk block in Queens New York, it demands competitors to complete at least 59 miles daily for 52 straight days. The film also explores the historic and current relationship between running and spirituality through intimate visits with the Marathon Monks of Japan; the persistence hunters of Africa’s Kalahari tribe; and Arizona’s Navajo Nation.

If yes, then this is the seminar for you. During the full day event, you will learn about the concept of The Four Quadrants (Health, Wealth, Love and Fulfilment) and how rewiring your mindset is critical in making any change in your life. Here are some of the areas we will be covering on the day. Building Confidence: using the ‘confidence table’ to hit any goal and how to add legs to that table with small and simple steps. Designing The ‘Perfect Day’: The days lead into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. When we get the perfect day right, the ‘compound effect’ starts to kick in and difficult things like eating well, training consistently and difficult conversations start to become much easier and automatic.    Goal Setting: There’s a foolproof system for hitting any goal by keeping the end in mind at all times. Once you learn it, you can apply it to all four quadrants. Dealing with negative people: once you get clear on the action steps needed to improve your four quadrants, you will see how easy it easy to cut (physically or emotionally) from those who pull you backwards. You will also see how to design your inner circle of people who will help you on your journey. Feeling the fear and doing it anyways: learn the techniques and strategies I used for overcoming my fear of failure, my fear of success and the fear of other peoples opinions.   Habits: tell me what you do every day and I’ll tell you where you’ll be in a year. You will leave the seminar knowing exactly what action steps you need to take in order to hit your end goal and how to stay on course when things get difficult. Mental health: Use my daily discomfort techniques for overcoming environmental anxiety and depression. Avoiding self-sabotage: Your biggest enemy lives between your two ears. When we identify why you self sabotage, you will finally be able to get out of your own way and hit any goal that you set for yourself. If you feel frustrated, unconfident, unsatisfied or unfulfilled in any area of your life, then this seminar is not to be missed! Lets Rewire Your Mindset on the 20th of April 2019.

Today’s episode is part 2 of last week's podcast. I hope you enjoy it.   “Smart people have great answers. Geniuses have great questions” – Mentor TIMESTAMPS   Who’s fault was this really?  08:27 Are you projecting right now? 15:17 Are you dropping your standards? 25:56 Is that fact or opinion? 36:24 What’s the best-case scenario, what is the worse case scenario and can I handle the worst case scenario?  43:23     THE FITNESS MINDSET - NOW ON AUDIBLE BRIAN'S BLOG  

Today’s episode goes in a slightly different direction. One my biggest shifts over the last several years has been to ask myself better questions when I’m struggling or working through particular problems in my personal life, fitness or business. Albert Einstein used to give the same end of year exam question to all his students because “the answers are always changing” – these are some of the questions that I’ve taken directly from the notes on my phone. I come back to them regularly (especially if I’m struggling or feeling demotivated in a specific area of my life) I hope you enjoy this two-part podcast.   “Smart people have great answers. Genius have great questions” – Mentor   Questions I Ask Myself?     Am I being emotional or rational right now?  15:21 How do I deserve what I want? 24:46 What makes me happy and what makes me unhappy? 28:32 Can this person actually help me or change my situation or circumstance?  48:03 Are my actions mapping to my ambition? 55:59    THE FITNESS MINDSET - NOW ON AUDIBLE  BRIAN'S BLOG

Would this lead to dehydration affect performance? D) Why are caffeine tablets are the best method of getting the caffeine kick? 4: I always make bad decisions, I go after the wrong guys, say the wrong things and let my emotions take control?  36:49   The Fitness Mindset on Audiobook now Brians Blog

This was a difficult episode to record and I talk about some of my own issues that I haven’t talked to previously.  I’ve had my own issues with mental health and your mess becomes your message so here’s to hovering over the ‘publish’ button for several minutes.   “Depression is about what has happened, anxiety is about what could happen” Do you have a mental health issue or an ‘ I have too many negative people on my life’ issue?  Control the controllable (exercise, meditation, mindfulness, yoga etc.)  What’s causing your issues? “Smart people have great answers, Geniuses have great questions!” Stay on top of it. “Tell me what you do every day and I’ll tell you where you’ll be in a year.” Make of list of what makes you happy and unhappy - it’s that simple. Don’t be a f**ing victim anymore! “If you do what is easy and your life will be hard, if do what is hard and your life will be easy.”  Mental health is an advantage if you choose to see it that way. There’s nothing you can call me that I haven’t already called myself already (and ten times worse). Become stronger and it becomes your superpower!

I’ve also discussed questions to ask yourself if you’re considering going into the fitness industry from school and college or anyone looking to have a fitness service, product or business as their ‘side hustle’.

This was a press record and talk episode. I’ve talked about my experiences in dealing with negative people over the last ten years. Parts of this episode are very raw and I’ve used some stories from my personal life that I haven’t talked about before so I hope it helps.   Notable timestamps:  Ask yourself, who am I spending most of my time with? 05:34 “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with” – Jim Rohn  If you can’t cut people because they’re family or in your workplace, you need to give their words less weight! 14:36  “If you wouldn’t switch positions with someone, why are you listening to them?”    There are three types of people in this world, people who give you energy, people who drain your energy and those who are neutral. Who are the emotional vampires in your immediate environment? Are they just projecting onto you? 36:49 “Somebody projecting hate or negativity on you is normally a reflection of what’s going on in their life. That’s on them, not you!

Personally, I’m always trying to optimize things in my life to get more done, have more impact and be more effective and happier in general.

For this one, I just pressed record and talked about of my experience running 250km self-sufficient through the Sahara Desert the week before last. I go briefly into everything I did with my training, food and mindset before the event and then all the ridiculous and life-changing moments during and after my time in the Sahara. This episode goes through the highs and the lows. I’ve talked everything from avoiding snakes and scorpions on the long day (86 km), seeing people hooked up to IV’s and puking blood to cutting away the steel poles holding our tent to try and survive a sandstorm (side note: I’ll never take having a roof and four walls for granted ever again!).

  Today is a pretty heavy hitting mindset episode, I talk about some things in my own life that I haven’t spoken about previously to try and give context to how these stories showed up in my life and the life triggers that sparked them. I feel like this would have been a treasure map for me five years so I hope it helps as it’s something I needed to hear not too long ago.     Story 1: IT’S JUST NOT THE RIGHT TIME  00:05:12:22   Watch out for fear disguised as practicality   Story 2: I’M DOING SOMETHING SO THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH 00:15:31:13   Do not confuse movement with progress!   Story 3: I CAN’T DO THAT! 00:24:42:00   If you tell yourself you cant, your mind will close off immediately.

(Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Richard Branson are the modern day examples)     Story 5: I'LL LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES! 00:32:57:02   This one needs more context. It’s incredibly important to learn from mistakes but nobody said they had to be your mistakes. Reframing this one single story has changed everything in my life in over the last five years.

Currently in the middle of your book and your anxiety podcast was so helpful. Do you have any other mindset or philosophy book recommendations for a beginner?  I’m juggling with a new-born, career, training and college, any tips?  What do you think of fat burners, are they harmful or helpful? -   I’ve lost my way in life, don’t even have the energy to go to the gym anymore, what should I do?  A guy I’m texting wants me to send him nude photos, I’m not sure if I should, what if anyone else sees them but I’m afraid he won't text back if I don’t do it?

Q+A     How can I boost my immune system- recently every time I train, I wake up sick the next day? Does the length of rest time between sets matter if your goal is muscle building?

Is it true if I stop having sex then my performance in the gym will get better?

I’ve probably learnt more in this last year than I had in the previous five combined. I hope this episode helps as much as it helped me re-listening to it.     Self-awareness is more important than any skill or knowledge you can learn. You need to do what’s important to you and not what the world says you should do.   “Be yourself because everyone else is taken” – Oscar Wilde     Process is EVERYTHING! I spent large chunks of 2016 doing things that I thought would make me ‘successful’ – success comes when you love what you’re doing   “If you can't be happy on the journey, how are you going to be happy at the destination?” – Buddha     Success is massively subjective – two years ago, I got everything I thought would make me successful ‘a new house, a brand new car, money in my bank account etc’ but I felt the exact same by the end of the year. This year I learnt that ‘success’ for me is spending time with my little girl and helping as many people as I can with videos, podcasts and programs. Find what ‘success’ really means to you and you’ll be surprised how easy it is to hit it.       Happiness comes from subtraction, not addition. I always thought that ‘i'll be happy when.. I have this car.. this house.. this level of body fat.. this amount of money etc.” – I was always adding and putting my happiness into some external addition to what I currently have. This year I learnt more about the things that truly bring me happiness and fulfilment and it comes from taking things away (people, things, situations), not adding them.     “ Perfection isn’t when there’s nothing left to add, its when there’s nothing left to take away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery   Knowledge is just filling the gaps between what you don’t know you don’t know AND it can be learned! Everything you don’t know, you can look up, it’s the things you ‘don’t know you know’ that will kill you. Books,  

Thoughts on a dirty bulk, will the fat turn into muscle? How do u set your goals on your whiteboards? Watch and view everything you do and it begs this question, how do you managing to get everything done and squeezed into a day?Like how are you that motivated dude it's amazing- It's a trait I struggle with and hoping you might give me a few tips and do you ever sleep?Look forward to your response, thanks, bud. I fancy my friend's sister, she fancies me as well. My friend doesn't approve though, is there any way I can hook up with his sister without falling out with him?

1) How can I wake up earlier, I struggle to get up as it? 2) What are your thoughts on smoking (on nights out for example)?   3) How can I stop being bullied?   4) I'm spending over an hour in the gym, how long should my sessions be?   5) My question, therefore, is how does one break through the mindset of accepting mediocrity as a baseline(ie. 'I’ve been good enough today so I deserve this')and excel to get nutrition and training on point simultaneously?

  Today I turned 30 so apologies if this one is a little scattered, I literally just pressed record and talked for this whole episode and jumped around a bit. I hope it helps all the same.     1) Don’t take yourself too seriously 2) Nobody really cares what you do, think or say 3) You’re better to have 4 quarters than 100 pennies 4) You can have anything you want, just not everything you want 5) Don’t let ego be your enemy

Christmas is just over 3 weeks away so today’s episode goes into a few tips you can apply for the next few weeks to look amazing for the festive period so you can enjoy the extra food and drink over Xmas week and look your absolute best.   1.Eat super clean for the next 3 weeks (and then take Xmas week off) 2.Add in some HIIT or LISS cardio to the end your workouts 3.Up the intensity in workouts by reducing rest or adding circuits or giant sets 4.Add in green tea extract and l-carnitine to ramp up fat burning for the next 3 weeks.   5.Cut back on alcohol until Xmas week. 6.Be very specific about your goals for the next three weeks (more visible abs, drop a dress size, more defined arms etc.) 7.Think about whom you are looking to see or impress at Xmas and use that to stay motivated (including the secret ‘I want to pull that person’ tip).

  I'm so excited to have my guest Shane Finn with me on the show today. Shane is a Dingle Native who recently ran 24 marathons in 24 days and raised over €100,000 euro for Spina Bifida Ireland   1.can you tell everyone listening a little bit more about yourself   2.What advice would you give your 16-year-old self and place where you were at that time in your life, what were you doing? Rapid fire:   When do you think of the word successful, who's the first person that comes to mind and why? What purchase or £100 or less has most positively affected your life in the last 6 months? Do you have a quote you live your by or think of often? What book (besides your own) do u think everybody on the planet should read? what is the worst advice you see or hear being dispensed in your world (fitness, nutrition etc) What have u changed your mind about in the last few years If you could have one gigantic billboard anywhere with anything on it, what would it say? What is something you believe that other people think is insane? What obsessions do you explore in the evenings or weekends? How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Or do you have a favourite failure of yours?   Any ask or request for my audience? Last parting words  

1.Dealing with anxiety, worry and stress are a lot like sweeping the floor, you can sweep it once and it’s clean but if you don’t stay on top of it every day, it gets dirty again. 2.Find what works for you. There is no ‘silver bullet’ – experiment with different strategies and double down on the ones that work.    3.Find the thing that puts you into a ‘flow state’ – for me its training, running and walking.   4.Gratitude journal. I used a gratitude journal for a few months but focusing on 3 things your grateful for (even if it's something small like having enough food for breakfast) can prime your day to see all the amazing things that you do have.   5.Affirmations on the future. This is a catch 22, too much focus on the future and your anxiety can get worse but with just enough looking into the future (being in the clouds as I like to call it), can make you feel so much better about the things you have to look forward too. 6.Live in day tight compartments and just ask yourself, did I get today right? This is the key to long-term success in everything, fitness, mindset, business, relationships, you name it.. step by step we get ahead.  

1.Focus on the process: “if u can't be happy on the journey, how can you be happy at the destination” - Buddha 2.Compare yourself against where you were and not by who’s in front of you. Your chapter 1 is going to look very different from someone else’s chapter 20.   3.Realise there are only really three types of people in your life – haters/naysayers, the ones that don't care what you do and your #1 fans – choose who you spend the majority of your time with very wisely!   4.Happiness comes from subtraction, not addition. I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies, focus on quality over quantity every time.   5.Ask yourself, who is it that really matters? Find the 5 people in your life whose opinion matters, everyone’s else’s opinion is just noise.    

This episode is a little different to normal. A Leaving Cert student came to me with questions for his Entrepreneur LCVP project and I thought they would make for a valuable podcast episode for anyone out there who runs a business, is self-employed or would like to make money in fitness. I hope it helps and be sure to hit me up on Instagram DM and snapchat to let me know what you thought.    This goes pretty in depth on how I went from social welfare, living with my mum and dad and how it took me three different attempts to get my fitness business off the ground. I’ve been so fortunate to have gone from flat broke on welfare to #1 Best Selling Author with hundreds of people come through my programs every month in less than 4 years. If nothing else, I hope this episode serves as inspiration if you are struggling in any area of your life and that you only truly fail when you stop trying.

I watch all of your workouts and u never really do abs, how do you maintain a six pack all year? How do your programs work, is it videos information etc. I always thought I'd need someone that did physical personal training?   Are BCAA's worth the money?

Q&A: 1. What does your morning routine look like? 2. What is the best way to build my core? 3. How can I lean bulk without gaining excess fat? 4. What are your biggest frustrations in managing your business? 5. I'm 24 and really into a girl in school who just turned 18, should I pursue it or is it morally wrong with the age gap?

Q+A   1)   Is it better to workout with a training partner or by yourself? 2)   Thoughts on the secret book by rhonda byrne? 3)   What does it take to be the best in the world at something? 4)   What keeps you passionate?

Today’s episode is a two parter. The first half, I go through how to build your body and get better at your sport and the second half is an interview with Ireland Rugby International Robbie Henshaw. Thanks so much to my man Robbie for coming on.   Part 1: ·      How to combine Hypertrophy, Strength and Metabolic Conditioning to build muscle, get leaner and get faster and stronger for your sport. ·      How to eat so you maximise energy and performance. Also the keys to a good carb load.   Part 2: Robbie Henshaw interview.               

1.     Tracking macros is taking its toll mentality, any tips?   2.     Whats your opinion on training through muscle soreness, ie training chest when its still sore?   3.     What is your opinion on Keto?   4.     How can I build confidence and voice projection?   5.     Should I take a year off to go to Australia or save my money and do a masters?

  Tony Robbins regular says ‘ask better questions if you want better answers’ – these are 5 questions that I still ask myself at least once a week when things are feeling particularly hard or difficult.   This is one of these rare episodes (alongside ‘how to find your life purpose’ and ‘the tips I would give my 18 year old self’) that I would have given anything to hear five years ago. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me re-listening to it.    1.     What would I do for free? My version of success is waking up every morning knowing that if I won the lotto, Id still does what I’m doing now. What would you do for free? Build your life around that.   2.     What does my perfect day look like?   Who are you spending the day with, what are you doing and why is it perfect? Find the things that make you happy, do more of it, find the things (and people) that make you unhappy, do less of it.   3.     What would this look like if it were easy? I more than anyone have to deal with ‘superman syndrome’ where I think I can do it all and bite off more than I can chew, which normally just leads to stress and anxiety. This is my ‘go to’ question when feeling overwhelmed or anxious.   4.     Who am I doing it for? The how means nothing until you find your why. The days you’re tired, struggling and don’t know if you can continue, ask yourself, who is it for?   5.     What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? As soon as I start to get in my own head and start thinking about what could go wrong, I ask myself this one question and it opens everything else up. If you feel your own biggest enemy lives between your two ears, then ask yourself this questions every time you feel you can’t do something.  

Q+A   1.     Will fat burners make me anxious? 2.     I lose energy on days leading into games, I think its from anxity and nerves? 3.     How can I stay in shape on holidays? 4.     What is your next book going to be about? 5.     I always seem to end up the in the friend zone, what can I do?

Q+A   ·       How to balance the work, social life and the gym?   ·       What do you occupy your mind with when running on the                    treadmill?   ·       How can I build a routine to get more done?   ·       How can I overcome nightly binge eating?  

  I know myself that October is such a hard month to stay motivated so here’s a challenge if you need something to keep you accountable for the month ahead.   1)    Cut all the processed food for the month of October   2)    Only have sugar or alcohol on Saturday night.   3)    Add these 20 minutes of finishers instead of cardio at the end of workouts   4)    If you cant get to the gym, add 100 squats or push ups a day   5)    Add a strong probiotic twice per day (gut health and absorption)   6)    Drink an extra half a litre every day   7)    Add two cups of green tea a day     Screenshot and put as the screensaver of your phone to ensure you do it every day.   Hashtag #briankeanefitness on Instagram for accountability for the month of October.

Any change you need to make (your body, your job, a realtionhisp) comes from caring what other people think about you! I needed this episode so badly when I moved from London.   1)     Who is your inner circle? Their opinions matter, nobody else’s does!   “Those that matter don’t mind and those that mind, don’t matter”   2)     Everything is an opinion! When you realise that everything in life is an opinion and perspective of that moment in time, you don’t let it affect the choices you make.   “Stop letting others people opinion of you become your reality” 3)     Caring comes from compassion with other people (their bodies, their partners, their things!) “Comparison is the thief of joy” 4)     Hate and negativity is a projection!  Understand that any hate or negativity aimed in your direction is a projection of whats going on that person.   “what people think about you is none of your business” 5)     Guard what you put into your mind! If you are putting negative thoughts and garbage into your mind, that’s what’s going to become your reality!   6)     Don't let fear stop you! My biggest fears in life (quitting my job and having Holly) lead to me become the person I wanted to be.   “Behind every fear is a person you want to be!” 7)     Remember,  you are going to die! If I told you that u have a terminal brain tumour and you have 5 years to live, what would you do, who would you spend time with, what job would you do? What dreams would die with you. “The biggest tragedy in life would be to meet the person you could have become”  

1)    What are the best times to take supplements? 2)    How can I stay the same weight and still lose body fat? 3)    How can I find a boyfriend/girlfriend? 4)    How can I make my arms bigger? 5)    If you had to pick one – GAA or the gym for the rest of your life, what would it be?

This a little bit more ‘real talk’ than other episodes. I’m more or less speaking to the 22 year old me who would have traded everything to look like a pro fitness model, become a sponsored athlete and have a social media following.   In 2015, I got all that and had to deal with the ‘real’ fitness industry and my own issues with body dysmorphia that came with it. This is a pretty real and candid episode and even though there are so many worse things in the world than dealing with the way you look, it’s all-relative. So for anyone who looks at the fitness people on social media with hundreds of thousands of followers or the top fitness guys or bikini girls who compete and wonder why you don’t look that way, then hopefully this gives you a bit more of an inside view from someone who lived it.     For more information about everything fitness, nutrition and mindset- head over to www.briankeanefitness.com to check out the blog or Brian's Facebook, YouTube and Instagram (which has a combined total of over 130k followers) - thanks for listening. To send in any questions for the podcast or for live Q+A’s, check out my snapchat briank019.   Facebook: Brian Keane Fitness Snapchat: briank019 Instagram: brian_keane_fitness   YouTube: Brian Keane Fitness
