Because I want to make you promise right now as we start season 4, and this is a big promise for me, Health has been my obsession my passion for over 30 years, right? I started as trainer goes into the world of books. Did really? Well as a New York Times bestselling author for 25 years.
Wrote a bunch of books. It seems that people like my books 12 on the New York Times. And if you're one of my leaders from back in the day, welcome, if you're one of my social media friends. Welcome, if you're a fan of zero
hunger water. Well, and if you just start this tuning into this because you're interested in intermittent fasting, keto, or you're over 50 like me and you want to just get healthy fast, that's what I've been known for, because I'll tell you the thing all Books before was really short cuts, the best shorts out there as Billy blast.
If you don't know my background, a give it to you in a nutshell because I think it's relatable, I was so in the was overweight for years, I was in emotional eater. I was addicted to sugar and carbohydrates as a kid for me. A great time is going to McDonald's having french fries. First always getting a Big Mac. Having a nice screen. One of those soft serves a milkshake and make me. If I was a good boy, my parents would get One of those apple pie
crisps, you guys remember those? Oh, you're so good. And then the next day I would start my day, Captain Crunch cereal and I didn't realize how much what we ate impacted our new idea. My parents did not understand how that all my mother was this incredible gorgeous, film star. That had Married, An American man, my dad, and both of them
have passed. Now, my mom much earlier than I would have hoped for my dad just a few years ago and I can tell you lost both of my parents really Maybe a lot of insight and appreciation for health. My mom, especially she left early. She was in her early 60s and it made me commit to. A lot of people out there when I knew that her life was was cut too short that I could help others educate themselves and that was for me a big promise that I made my mom. She also challenged before she
passed that I should some day. Meet Oprah Winfrey and I don't know if I'm just a mama's boy. Or the way I was raised, but I made that happen within a year of her passing and I tell you the greatest gift of my life was that gift. Honoring, my mom understanding that, for some reason, this incredible Soul Oprah Winfrey would amplify my intentions and I am grateful to miss Winfrey every single day. Just listening, thank you Oprah of you. You are incredible Force for good.
As you say, We Are Spiritual Beings having Human Experience and because of you, I realized that more than ever now life. And so as I welcome you to the show here to the podcast, I want to tell you. This is a struggle for all of us, whether it was me, 20, 30 years ago, as I started my career, if it was me 30, 40 years ago, as a kid with my feet, health is a puzzle. It's something that is not easy, but it's simple and that's what we're going to do on the show.
This season 4, we are going to Call it simply fit. We're going to make it simple and I can tell you, you're with the right person I have dedicated my life to interviewing and talking to the most other people out there that have made it their life to simplify Health to find the Nugget. And we are going to discover an every episode, some incredible nuggets to maximizing Health.
If you're over 50 and if you're under 50 hey it will help to it'll help anyone any age and it's going to Simple system of two simple methods that really my career is come down to. And if you think about it, what is health, right? What is health? Health is, in my opinion confidence, over how you feel, having the ability to have radical control over things that you want to do in accomplish,
and not having a lot of limits. Now, as we get older, we start to believe that's a possible anymore, we think. Oh, I can only be strong and fit, and this unlimited energy. G unlimited health, if you will, in my 20s, in my 30s. Maybe. But my mid-30s got it, and I'm someone now at 51 that's going to tell you, that is BS, complete BS, and that you, no matter what your age, whether you're in your 20s, 30s 40s, 50 like me, 51, 60s, or 70s, or Beyond. We are going to be talking with
superstars this year. People like Martha Stewart who is 81 years young? I saw her just a few weeks ago. York phenomenal, incredible shape, gorgeous Health, we're going to be talking about how she stays young. We're going to be talking to people, like Zach Williams, who is going to share, how his father, Robin Williams took his
life. But more importantly, his given him a mission, mental hygiene, and how to create mental health, through a simple system, Akin if you will and how to change what we think. And so it'd be a really exciting year because we're going to talk to incredible celebrities. Experts experts that have become dear friends with a doctor.
Do you guys know who she is? She's one of the intermittent fasting works in the world when it comes to health when talking to her Danica. Patrick who is incredible woman known in our world as a as an athlete shall we say. Car driving brahmana. And now she's starting a new chapter in her life talk about how to start new chapters. We're going to be talking with people that are making things happen today. Ever, we're going to talk to his over 50. I also, we can get some young
folks on here. I hope so. But I'm excited and really the foundation of all. This is just want to share that on today's episode. It's just me today. We're celebs on today, it's just me, but I want to I want you to realize there's two key parts to this program to this podcast and it's really my ethos, it's what I believe the culmination of 30. Here is a focus has led me to believe and that is two things and I want you to hear me on this number I call it eat. Eating fit is everything.
It's a philosophy that I learned years ago from Venom Jacqueline. If you guys remember who Jack LaLanne was he was Godfather this and his philosophy was simple. It can never out train a poor diet, so we're going to lead with nutrition. I call it eating fit. I'm going to share with you. I think, what is the simplest way to maximize your health? Your energy to lose weight and that is through intermittent fasting. Combined with keto, which means you can still eat carbs are
going to talk about carb swaps. We're going to talk about how to enjoy foods that you love like pasta. There's nothing off-limit. It's just understanding how to turn off and really the Paradigm that I believe is what's going to set our show off from any other podcasts out. There is understanding that if you want to lose weight, it's
not about weight loss. It's about Hunger control and, you know, about the project that I've started, that's launching it into this year, called zero, Hunger water. I'll show it if you're watching on the web, take a peek, zero hunger. Where is going to be launching a nationwide. It's a beverage ready to drink and it's in give us what I call the hunger eraser. It's simply a beverage, you drink, and it, erases your
hunger. But to get to that point, it took me 30 years, it took me 30 years to understand what it takes to turn off hunger, and it's about minerals. It's about understanding sodium, magnesium, potassium. And even why seen an amino acid that can help bolster? For the body's ability to absorb these minerals that turn off,
Phantom hunger. So we're going to learn about how to turn off that Phantom homework and more importantly, how you feel, good all day long, while you're fasting because I think it's revolutionary weather and whether you fast eight hours six hours or you go really long like 20 hours, doesn't matter it's going to help you have control. So that's eat fit. That's really the first element of what I would call. So for he Cruz method, right?
The Second key is something radical for me for me for a lot of but I've spoken to this is not radical. It's been a part of their life for decades. I call it Soul fit and it's this idea like Oprah talks about other people. Talk about how we Are Spiritual Beings. Having a human experience that may sound a little weird. You may think, are you talking about church here? Jorge, are you talking about going to like church? Again, it is not a religion.
What for me sulphate is, it's about igniting within you and energy. I call it, your spirit, oh, your energy, your essence. It's this thing that is you and yet is not you. It's this thing that was here before your food bowl, and will be here after your physical. And whether you believe in a god of your choosing, whoever it is, or not, or you believe in the universe, having your back, whatever that higher power is for you. It's where our energy goes. And it comes back to it's
something that cannot destroy. Now, you may be thinking, oh my gosh, where he Cruise, you're going a little deep here. What have you done, all this is for me. It's about understanding that for me. Soul is about igniting passion. And we all have this Soul, this energy, this passion within us and let's ignited in some way. Understanding to eat is great, but you're not going to do it. You're not going to do it. We're become something you do.
Effortlessly. And so, that is why for me, the second really Louisville of true. Simple Fitness is understanding, not just eating fit, but I have a soul fit and that's where we're going to be talking to experts that I think are in The Cutting Edge of, really. How do we night that kind of energy within us? That is going to give us not just a drive into motivation but momentum that is critical for long-term Health happens. Wellness and freedom. And that's what this is all
about. It's about giving us the freedom to be our best selves every single day in our 50s 60s, 70s or 80s and I'll tell you for those of you out there that think you're a little too old and you're only 30 or 40, I got a lot of news for you. You are going to love our podcast because you're going to understand on this show. How that's not true and how more importantly.
It's just your thoughts, it's your thoughts that determined that ignition that ignite Of your passion in you and you can use your thoughts to turn on your spirit in your soul. You can use movement to turn on your spirit and your soul. You can do things like prayer for sure, to turn on that Spirit, but that's through a connection through whatever that is for you. Whether it's a God or higher, or or even family and friends, there is no, right?
There's no wrong but it's about standing that without that spirit in that energy within you debated and pushed forward. To be hard to do anything in your life that we speak. People that I hate that and not a good thing possibly. But that talk about where I can't get out of bed in the morning, I'm just not there. And I always think of a conversation, I heard with Oprah.
That was really powerful about how when your soul your spirit is in alignment with your purpose, you cannot be stopped wake up excited every single day to live your life, man. It having that occur in your life, where your spirit is an alignment, your purpose, then jump out of bed at 4:00 in the morning. Five in the morning, you're not going to need three or Twenty cups of coffee.
Your spirit will be lit, but we're going to talk about how to get that Spirit lit because so many of us are not so many of us, get stuck in a place where we get depressed, where we get resentments that build up and we start to hate our life. Life and we just others and I can tell you, you may think I've had the perfect 30-year career. Oh no there was a midlife crisis they're going to be talking about the season that happened
to me just over a year ago. It was during covid and how right around turning 50. And I'm 51 I'm going to be 52 this next year. I just hit a wall, a brick wall where I went through some really hard ships. Both personal financial career where You would have thought the entire Foundation of my life was completely destroyed and devastated and my friends say it was but just because that happens, it doesn't your is over.
And for me to have come back to a place where in about a year I was able to not just learn but take what happened? This weight that was given to me and utilize it to become stronger. And if anything more Vibrance and more compassionate for others, that struggle. Because I used to think it's all come on, this is so easy. But there are things in life that are tough.
And so we're going to be talking about these hard things and how to come back from places that are tough, whether that is losing a parent which I did during covid. My dad losing family members that are part of that energy that when someone passes, you know, that is. Sometimes you don't hear from other family members anymore, ever reasons cream. Being issues. A lot of that stone. Your family to financial assistance to Health crisis has to emotional crisis has to
substance abuse. We're going to talk about everything because I've been, and I'm back. And what I want to share with you is how you can do that too. Whether it's a low-bottom you've may have hit in the last month last couple of years or you're really at rock bottom.
We're going to get you out of that and where you're going to understand how your sofa It is going to give you this reconnection this transformation internally and the eating fit will just become super basic because that is easy eating fit and understanding how to use things, like zero or water at utilize, intermittent fasting, how to utilize keto going to be? That's just easy. It's simple. It's like setting the table. It's not that hard.
It just happens every day. The hardest part is just getting yourself to set the table but that's what soul fits going to do. It's going to give you the motivation, the internal I've to feel that passion that we need in our lives to live a high quality life, will we just wake up and we feel great.
