Episode 21:28 - Whether You Believe It Or Not, You ARE A Bodybuilder - An Interview With Lane Jones You may not realize it, but you ARE a bodybuilder. Perhaps not a “competitive” one, but you ARE, everyday, “building your body.” The type of body you are building is based upon the type of decisions you make.

21-24 The “Eat Whatever You Want” Diet

Episode 21:24 - The “Eat Whatever You Want” Diet At first glance the title of this week’s episode sounds ridiculous. After all, how can anyone recommend a “Eat Whatever You Want” diet? It’s easy. You see, unlike thousands of other books and podcasts about diet, the focus of the “Eat Whatever You Want” diet is NOT on what you eat. The focus is on what you WANT. Let me explain: The co-host of this podcast, BetyLou Pierce, places a high value on being healthy. Always has and always will. For that r...

21-21 How To Have Your BEST Summer Ever

Episode 21:21 - How To Have Your BEST Summer Ever We want you to have a wonderful summer… your best ever. How? By learning how to live WITH nature, not in opposition to it. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. You see, we have allowed society to dictate our behaviors… behaviors that go against nature and are NOT good for our health. For example… Why do we go to bed so late? Because we have been trained to. The truth is, if you live in the United States and have a daytime job, there is no...
