#503: Karden Rabin on How Trauma Stores Itself In The Body, The Nature of Repressed Emotions and Practical Techniques for Nervous System Regulation!

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

#502: Fat Loss Expert Yuri Elkaim on The All Day Energy Diet And Why Caffeine Is To Energy Like Credit Cards Are To Financial Health!

Yuri is a nutrition, fitness, and fat loss expert, and NYT bestselling author who makes fit & healthy simple again with clear, science-backed advice.   He is a registered holistic nutritionist and after dealing with a host of health issues as a teenager, he eventually lost all of his hair at 17 years old to an autoimmune condition. This, along with his passion for sports (which led him down the path of playing professional soccer in his early 20s), propelled him into the health and fitness field.    Yuri’s built successful online health empire that went on to help more than 500,000 people to better health, while providing him the platform to write 3 bestselling books and sharing his message on major media outlets like Dr. Oz and The Doctors. In 2018, he sold this health business after 13 years at the helm.   Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:    ·      How caffeine is to energy like credit cards are to financial health - it's a temporary fix that doesn't address the underlying issue. ·      Relying on caffeine to function is a sign of an unhealthy relationship with energy. ·      Low energy is a warning sign that something more serious may be going on in the body. ·      Lack of education and awareness about nutrition leads to people ignoring warning signs and making poor food choices. ·      Experimentation and finding what works best for your body is key to achieving all-day energy. 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

Creating a calorie deficit is essential for weight loss and fat loss, but there are many methods and tools that can be used to achieve it. ·      Diet culture often promotes restrictive and miserable approaches to fat loss, but it is important to find strategies that make the process easier and more sustainable. ·      A calorie deficit does not mean starving oneself; it is about feeding the body enough calories while still creating a deficit. ·      Proper resistance training is crucial for achieving fat loss and maintaining long-term results. ·      Understanding that no single food or food group causes fat gain and focusing on the overall diet and emotional triggers can help overcome binge eating. ·      And more..      Today’s podcast is sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching. https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching     (Website) https://gleanapp.com/   (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/evandaly_dalyfitness/   (Podcast) https://open.spotify.com/show/0LTAUH8Z5xZyrz7iLl1SQL   https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-daly-fitness-podcast/id1647635075   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/p/Evan-Daly-DalyFitness-100067770784344/   (Twitter) https://x.com/evandaly   (Tiktok) https://www.tiktok.com/discover/evan-daly-fitness

#498: Holistic Nutritionist and Medical Lecturer Josh Dech on Reversing Bowel Disease (Crohn’s, Colitis and IBD) and The Five Steps to Gut Health!

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

#495: Adam Woolard on Low Testosterone, Low Energy, Low Libido and Joint Pain To Optimizing Hormonal Health and Peptide Therapy!

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.

#494: Dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine on Nutrition Mistakes Nearly Everybody Makes, Eating Healthy But Not Losing Weight and The Real Problem With Ultra Processed Food!

Nichola is a specialist Registered Dietitian (BSc hons, PG Dip, MSc) with over fifteen years of clinical experience working for the NHS as well as privately.    She shares inspiring content to over 100,000 followers on social media and has appeared on TV multiple times - Nichola is a regular on BBC Breakfast, ITV Tonight and Channels 4 and 5, and regularly provides commentary to numerous tabloids and press outlets.    She advocates for a better relationship with food, so that others can build healthier habits that lead to lasting change.   She is also the author of the new book How Not To Eat Ultra-Process, Your 4 week Plan For Life Changing Healthier Habits!    Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:   Understanding the nuances of processed foods and the differences between processed and ultra-processed foods is essential for making informed dietary choices. 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

#493: Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author Scott H. Young On The Secret To Mastering Hard Skills, Becoming An Ultra Learner and How To Get Better At Anything!

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.

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!

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.

#488: Neuroscience Expert Dr Russell Kennedy MD on Anxiety, Somatic Work and Non Traditional Treatments For Mental Health!

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

#487: Grief and Loss Expert David Kessler on The Importance of Witnessing Grief and Finding Meaning From Break Ups, Divorce and Death Of Loved Ones!

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.

#446: My Kyrgyzstan Disaster: Getting Sick, Trying To Force Being Well and When Sh*t Just Happens! 

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

Paul Scanlon on The Art of Unlearning, Developing ‘Get Back Up’ Skills When Life Gets  Difficult and Why It’s Okay To Outgrow People (From The 2021 Archive) 

    This episode first aired on 3rd May 2021  Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review.   Paul Scanlon has trained and mentored people for over 30 years as a keynote speaker all over  the world. After three decades in the not-for-profit sector, Paul has successfully transitioned and  reinvented himself as an educator through both his LIVE and online Masterclass events in  Communication, Leadership, and Personal Development.  Paul’s three strands of focus are: Communication, Leadership, and Human Flourishing. His  hallmark is making complex things simple. Paul passionately believes it’s more important to  grow people than things.  He believes that there’s greatness in everyone and knows that most need the help of a well- chosen coach or mentor to discover it.  He is also the host of the podcast Growing Big People with Paul Scanlon. This was a fantastic  conversation and one I am very grateful for having. Although Paul’s microphone quality isn’t as              high as other podcast guests, the value he speaks more than makes up for it. This was a mini  therapy session for me so I hope you get as much from it as I did.  Key Points  ∙One of the big traps people fall into, especially with the political and cultural climate  nowadays, is boxing themselves into a certain identity, or what Paul calls “labels”. By  labeling yourself solely by your sex, race, political affiliation, or religion, you adopt the  “ghetto mentality” and limit your potential to grow and connect with people around  you. Avoid imprisoning yourself in an echo chamber and open your mind to all that the  world offers.  ∙Social media has normalized our natural human tendencies to focus on the “highlight  reels” of those we admire. This has created a generation of people who lack “getting- back-up” skills. Paul encourages us to read stories of great people and pay attention  more to how they recover from setbacks than to the glitz and glamour of success that  only comes after endless trials and hardships.  ∙It’s so hard to let go of beliefs, habits, and behaviours that are no longer serving us  because 1) we don’t know what to replace it with, and 2) we often learn these things via  people we respect like our parents, and we fear upsetting that person by changing. It’s  okay to outgrow people. In fact, almost every new version of you that emerges involves  leaving someone behind.

Logan Ury on Dating, Attachment Styles, How To Break Up With Someone, Finding Love and How To Build A Relationship That Lasts! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 26th April 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. 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.

Sex Therapist Emily Morse on Conversations Around Sex, Breaking Through Taboos, Masturbation and Discussing Sexual Fantasies With Your Partner! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 12th April 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. 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.

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 on Cortisol, Estrogen and Female Fat Loss, The Contraceptive Pill and Managing An Underactive or Overactive Thyroid! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 15th March 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. 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.

Tim Spector on The Diet Myth, Your Gut and Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 1st March 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Tim Spector is a Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College London. 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.

  Caroline also known as A County Down Under is a lifestyle and travel blogger.  She is the host of the podcast of the same name and founder of Sunrise Social. This episode is very applicable to anyone who struggles with social pressure or worrying too much about the opinions of others. It’s a bit more of a ‘fly on the wall conversation’ than a traditional structured interview; 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.    Her backstory and the creation of a county down under  The social pressure around not being married and having kids in your 30’s Giving up alcohol and casual drinking (and the extreme social pressure that can come with it.  Why you need to do regular digital detoxes for your mental health.  And much more.    (LiNKS) (Website) https://acountydownunder.com/ https://acountydownunder.com/local-sunrise-social/ https://acountydownunder.com/product-category/clothing/ (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/groups/649802375659379/ (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/acountydownunder/?hl=en (Ebook) https://acountydownunder.com/product/lights-will-guide-you-home-e-book/ https://acountydownunder.com/product/ultimate-guide-for-moving-to-australia-2023/ (Podcast) https://acountydownunder.com/podcast/

Q+A Best Macro Split for Weight Loss, Running Recovery, The Problem with Black/White or Good/Bad Food Choices, How I Read/Choose Books and Break Up Advice! (From The 2021  Archive) 

    This episode first aired on 15th February 2021  Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review.   Today’s podcast is a Solo Q+A answering questions sent in from the question box on my Instagram page.     Key Points  If you think about a pyramid of prioritization when it comes to weight loss, caloric intake is the bottom of the pyramid, because for 99% of people, the name of the game is calories in versus calories out. Building upon that is your macro split, which will determine how you feel and, to an extent, how you look. Broadly, carbohydrates give you energy, protein repairs your muscles if you’re working out, and fat balances your hormone levels.  Tailor your caloric intake and macro split to your specific fitness goals, as well as to your particular lifestyle and to how your body and mind respond to different types of food. Just one example Brian gives is to avoid eating carbs at night if you’ve already hit your calorie limit for the day, but  you may do so if carbs happen to help you sleep better—just eat fewer calories  the next day. High carb/low fat or low carb/high fat—pick the split that works for you.  To avoid disordered eating behaviours, discover your unsupportive beliefs about food. 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.

Chris Williamson on Getting Over The Fear of Criticism, Making Sure Your Friends DON’T Suck  and The “I’ll Be Happy When” Fallacy! (From The 2021 Archive)

    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 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.

FROM THE VAULT: Training Deep Dive – Gym and Home Workouts, Bodyweight vs. Weights, HIIT or LISS Cardio and How to Design your Own Program! 

    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?

#433: Shona Vertue on Why Your Body Is A Temple, Not A Gym, The Importance Of Checking In With Yourself and How You Need To Use Fitness To Enhance Your Experience Of Life, Not Dominate It!

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

FROM THE VAULT: Mabel Katz on Self-Sabotage, dealing with Negative thoughts and getting  back to zero frequency! 

          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.

FROM THE VAULT: Nutritionist Isa Robinson on Food Addiction, Managing Disordered Eating and The Problem with Diet Culture! 

  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.

#394: Dr. Sara Reardon (The Vagina Whisperer) on Sex and Exercise Rules After Childbirth, Rethinking Post-Partum Care and The Importance of Pelvic Floor Fitness! 

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 is an orthopaedic surgeon at The Stone Clinic and has operated on high-performance NBA players like Steph Curry and members of the US Olympic Ski team, helping them bounce back stronger than before with recovery methods he's developed over the last 30 years.  Dr. Stone uses anabolic therapy and other biologic techniques to work to preserve the natural biology of a joint, helping people avoid or delay an artificial joint replacement.  He is the best-selling author of the book Play Forever.  This is a very interesting conversation with a previously unexplored topic but is highly recommended if you are currently struggling with an injury or are interested in the advances in sports and injury rehabilitation.    Shownotes:  Play forever book: https://www.amazon.com/Play-Forever-Recover-Injury-Thrive/dp/1544526768   ● Website: The Stone Clinic - https://www.stoneclinic.com/   ● YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8sjtmveZXQibCLMae6GkuA   ● Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stoneclinic/   ● Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/StoneClinic
