When it comes to reducing stress, there's no system in our body like all of our organs do. One of my favorite things about the body and how it's designed is how our bodies have a giant defense mechanism. So when you're doing weights, let's say you're doing curls, for example, your body puts a certain amount of stress on your biceps as you curl to help them grow back bigger next time. So if you put that same amount of stress on it, it'll be able to handle that same movement in motion. Of course, ...

Chronic pain is something many deal with, much more than we know. In fact, there's a good chance we'll all deal with chronic pain in one way or another. Let's talk about how to prevent, how to treat and how to deal with what can be a debilitating experience. In this show I also talk about participation awards, learning from failure and not understanding what it's like to go through life's ups and downs. And finally hard work, one of my favourite topics. There is no substitute for hard work. Hard...

This is a tough one to write about. When you run a public business sometimes it's hard to figure out what to keep personal and what to share with the world. I've always felt it's important to lead by example. Given that we teach health and wellness I feel like my health and wellness should always be optimal. I've had people say, 'what do you mean you can't do that, you're the fittest person I know?' Which makes me feel like people expect perfection but that could only be my perspective. Over 2 y...

Censorship is a special word especially at this time in the world. Personally I feel like our countries have been built on freedom of speech and being able to say what you think is right. Unfortunately, that right seems to be more and more in danger. However in this podcast I'm going to argue that in this situation censorship is a good thing. https://youtu.be/fEpOLgw2f84 Here's my main point, is that because of big media like google, Youtube, Facebook, IG, etc. no longer allow you to say what yo...

Isn't it crazy that we're even talking about this? But I mean how many times have we said that to ourselves? In this clip I'm going to talk about some very difficult subjects.

It's back to school time which means it's time to get back on track! As a nutrition and fitness company most people think our busiest time of year is in Jan, which isn't the case. Our busiest time of year is Sept. And that's because of the long summers of BBQ, not working and eating whatever we like. No judgement here, that's just how it works. Then when the kids go back to school, regular work hours come about and everyone is looking to get back into their routines, we hear from most sharing ho...

It always strikes me as odd when you see someone working out like a bodybuilder who doesn't want to be a bodybuilder. If you want to look like a bodybuilder or if you want to compete in a fitness competition, sure you workout a certain way. But if you want to look lean and strong, you work out differently. Or if you want to increase the strength of your heart, maybe you have heart Dis-Ease in your family. They you don't stand and lift heavy weights, you do more cardio exercises. https://youtu.be...

When it comes to reliability there is two forms I specifically address in this show. Being reliable for yourself is the first one. So many people put themselves last and never consider running on an empty cup. The more you have filled the more you can offer to others. But if you aren't reliable, if you never show up for yourself, then you don't have much to give. It's important to show up for yourself. It could be a workout you are showing up for, it could be meal planning, etc. Regardless of wh...
