What is the purpose of life? Does science have any claim to this question? For generations, many have concluded that evolution implies there is no overarching purpose to our existence. Life has no fundamental meaning. We are merely the accumulation of tens of thousands of intricate molecular accidents. Some scientists take this logic one step further: “The fact of evolution is … inherently atheistic… It goes against the notion that there is a God.”
But is this true?
By integrating emerging principles from a variety of scientific disciplines—ranging from evolutionary biology to psychology—Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework of evolution that implies not only that there is an overarching purpose to our existence, but what this purpose is.
Closely related to purpose is meaning. What is the meaning of life? Based on the scientific data, it would seem that one such meaning is to develop deep and abiding relationships. At least that’s what most people report are the most meaningful aspects of their lives. And our relationships that are most meaningful are those with our families, those with whom we share our genes. This is a function of our evolution. It is how we were created.

Imagine the power of a simple molecule coursing through your veins, holding the key to longevity, peak performance, and a fortress-like defense against cardiovascular disease. Nobel Laureate Dr. Louis Ignarro returns to unveil the wonders of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule his research helped bring into the health spotlight. With insights into its impact on conditions from diabetes to erectile dysfunction, Dr. Ignarro discusses how NO isn't just a part of our biology—it's a vital protector of it.
This episode isn't just about groundbreaking science; it's a treasure trove of practical advice. We discover the astonishing connection between humming and NO levels and delve into how diet—from the antioxidant-rich Mediterranean diet to the scrutinized carnivore diet—plays a pivotal role in NO production. But it's not all about what you eat; we also cover the effects of nasal breathing techniques and why something as simple as mouth tape could revolutionize the way you sleep.
Lastly, we look to the horizon of medical innovation, where the potential for inhaled nitric oxide therapy shines bright—not just for newborns in distress but for severe COVID-19 cases and beyond. Dr. Ignarro's insights are a testament to the molecule's versatility, with possibilities extending into performance enhancement for athletes and the development of on-demand NO generation devices.

I sat down in-studio with Gina Moffa, LCSW, a grief and trauma therapist and author, to explore the tumultuous landscape of grief—a journey that tests the resilience of our nervous system and thrusts us into the survival mode of the 'grief fall.' Gina shares her insights on the physical and emotional upheavals that come with significant loss, from the shock of a terminal diagnosis to the sudden absence left by a loved one's death.
As we peel back the layers of our grief responses, we touch upon the unpredictability of personal reactions, and the complex process of enduring a human wound that fundamentally alters the fabric of our existence. Gina and I also shed light on the societal pressures and myths surrounding grief, such as the notion of a 'normal' timeline for healing. She highlights the often overlooked aspect of grief's individuality, mentioning that the path to resilience is not paved with familiarity but with personal significance. We challenge the expectations placed on those grieving to quickly resume their roles in a productivity-driven world and emphasize the importance of honoring the unique rhythms of our emotional recovery.
Wrapping up, we delve into the ongoing nature of grief and the importance of self-compassion as we navigate its enduring waves. Gina provides comfort and understanding for those who fear regression and reminds us that moments of overwhelming emotion are not setbacks but a natural part of the grieving process. Join us as we discuss the significance of self-care, the courage to face grief's unpredictability, and the recognition that healing is not linear but a continual evolution alongside our losses.

Join me and my esteemed guest, Dr. Charles Brenner, PhD for a fascinating journey through the science of aging and longevity, where we explore the complexities and truths behind what it really means to age gracefully. We challenge the notion that aging is a disease and instead discuss practical strategies for maintaining our vitality—physically, mentally, and emotionally. As we debunk myths like the exaggerated benefits of resveratrol, listen in as we emphasize evidence-based insights and dismantle the disparity between scientific facts and the marketing of anti-aging remedies.

Have you ever wondered about the impact our ever-increasing reliance on technology has on our health and environment? This episode sheds light on this crucial issue along with repeat guest Darin Olien. Together, we unravel the complexities of electromagnetic frequencies and their implications on our health, from cellular stress responses to the foreboding reality of lowered testosterone levels. Darin also highlights the urgent need to shift towards a sustainable home and poses challenging but realistic alternatives to our daily living that will not only keep us healthier but reduce our carbon footprint and create healthier communities.
Fatal conveniences are the toxic products we routinely use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us believe are safe and necessary for living well and efficiently.
These things—from deodorant, cosmetics, dental floss, and sunscreen to laundry detergent, air fresheners, carpets, and crayons to candles, tea bags, cell phones, and chewing gum—are ubiquitous in daily life . . . and they are wreaking havoc on our health and our planet. The environmental toxins found in these products create a cascade of problems, including chemical sensitivities, auto-immune issues, obesity, chronic health diseases, and more.
But it's not just about what we put in or on our bodies, we explore the profound impact our decisions can have on our personal growth and the world around us. Darin underscores the importance of connecting with others, caring for ourselves, and living purposefully. Dare to challenge fear, choose love instead, and transform your life one decision at a time.

I recently sat down with Eli Weinstein to share my decades-long journey to discovering and embracing the real Chase Chewning! It’s a journey that reached its critical point when I turned 35 during the COVID outbreak in 2020.
Like everyone else, my world was flipped on its head, and I’d started questioning deep-seated beliefs I’d held all my life. My goal? To rid myself of the beliefs that didn’t serve me and replace them with beliefs that do.
The one question that I always asked myself, whether or not I was conscious of it, was: “Do I feel safe?” And ultimately, that boiled down to yet another question: “Am I loved?”
And if I felt no safety or love at any moment—in holding onto a given belief, in interacting with a certain individual, in inhabiting a particular room—then I gained the clarity and the courage to climb over those walls that kept me in and found my freedom.
Eli and I give our thoughts on the process of living an intentional life with a full commitment to oneself, from setting healthy boundaries, to avoiding a life lived in fear of other people’s opinions, to the true meaning of living life ever forward.

Welcome to the podcast where we discuss groundbreaking theories and discoveries that change the way we view the world. Today, we're joined by Harvard Psychiatrist, Dr. Chris Palmer, who shares his groundbreaking Brain Energy Theory of Mental Illness.
In this episode, Dr. Palmer helps us understand the root cause of mental illness, the connection between mental and physical health, and how we can actually get better. He explains that mental illness is actually metabolic dysfunction in the brain and shines a light on the current state of mental illness and mental healthcare in America.
One of the biggest issues with the current mental healthcare system is that too many people are told they must sacrifice their physical health for mental stability. They're often prescribed medication with side effects and are left to hope that their mental health improves. Dr. Palmer believes that there's something wrong with this system and that the standard of care in the mental health field needs drastic improvement.
As an academic physician and psychiatric researcher at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Palmer has a focus on helping people suffering from treatment-resistant mental illnesses, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. He is the author of Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More.
Dr. Palmer's work is incredibly important, as far too many people do not get better with our current approaches to mental health treatment. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental illness, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we dive into the Brain Energy Theory of Mental Illness and learn how we can improve our approach to mental healthcare.

The world is noisier than it’s ever been. It is becoming increasingly difficult to focus our attention where we want to. As a culture where overwhelm is the norm and noise, both internal and external, is so prevalent, it can seem impossible to find moments of silence and time to be still.

Their book discusses why silence is important for our personal and collective wellbeing and how to experience deep silence while living a full life. As well as exploring the concept of silence, the book also explores what goes on in nothingness and where silence truly exists.

Jeff Byers is a former NFL player and the current CEO of Amp Human, which offers innovative products that help athletes push the limits on their performance, adaptation, and recovery.
With an interest in both sports and entrepreneurship from an early age, Jeff always harbored an interest in finding creative ways to push his boundaries for growth as a human. “I was always thinking about the little things I could do to get better,” he says. “I tried to use my brain to work smarter than always just work harder.”
After retiring from the NFL, Jeff worked for a few years in the finance space before joining an early-stage biotech startup in late 2015. This company had discovered a way to deliver pharmaceuticals through the skin, bypassing the GI system which often limits the body’s ability to optimally absorb vitamins and minerals taken orally.
Not long after joining the company, Jeff and one of his partners developed a broad vision for a business offering products specifically formulated to optimize human performance, a space in which they saw, at the time, a huge gap in the market.
Listen in as Jeff talks all things human performance and optimization and why he refers to it as a “broad spectrum”. He also discusses the benefits of Amp Human’s flagship product, PR Lotion, and its newly released D+ Lotion.

A compelling “Why” can drive your actions and goals to great heights, and few exemplify this better than today’s podcast guest and Co-Founder of Sportiqe apparel company, Jason Franklin.
In an effort to escape pain and discomfort he experienced growing up, Jason created a company that has given him opportunity, abundance, and community. The products he has developed have become part of culture and are worn by big stars such as Justin Beiber, Beyonce, and Jay Z. During today’s episode, Chase and Jason discuss Jason's dreams as a child, the pivotal moments that led him to realizing his calling, his entrepreneurial journey, and his why behind it all.
Throughout school, Jason felt uncomfortable with himself and was teased. As a 9-year-old living in Chicago, Jason had crazy red hair and really wanted a hat he could find comfort in. Being a huge sports fan who grew up in Chicago, he naturally wanted a Bulls hat. As Jason also suffered from abuse at home, gathering hope for his future was challenging, but once he focused on his vision and started drawing hats, unexpected opportunities began to appear. Within a few years, Jason started Sportiqe with the goal of making the most comfortable clothes you can buy. Jason believed that having access to the most comfortable clothes would allow people to be in their most comfortable state, enabling them to be the best version of themselves. With this product, the vision was to create something that elevates the wearer's mood and hopefully allows the consumer to access their true calling and follow their passions and dreams.
Nowadays, so many people are searching for their path in life. Jason’s belief is that if you believe in it, you can achieve it. Keeping with Jason's philosophy, he hopes that his products can provide customers with the comfort they need to find their true calling and realize their potential.

Sarah Fay is the author of the memoir, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses. Pathological explores the consequences of overidentifying with a psychiatric diagnosis and how doing so can lead to self-stigmatization and self-limitation.
During this episode of Ever Forward, Sarah discusses mental health diagnoses, from what they are to where they come from, how she lived through six of them, and how we can embrace and understand them better as a society.
The stigma that society places on mental illness is well known, but what about the stigma we place on ourselves? Could that actually be more harmful? In Sarah's opinion, yes.
Sarah discusses candidly in this episode how being diagnosed with Anorexia as a child caused her to over identify with the diagnosis and attach her thoughts and feelings to it, which led her to believe that she wouldn't be capable of doing many things in life, such as maintain a long-term relationship or hold down a full-time job. Fortunately, Sarah's perspective on her mental health has evolved to where she doesn't feel this way anymore. Her ability to reframe her diagnoses and honor her experiences has been a result of good mental health practitioners, a supportive family, and her willingness to take charge of learning more about her diagnoses and where mental health diagnoses come from.

In today's episode, Chase and May talk about relationships, boundary setting, and healing. We will all encounter people in our lives that test our boundaries or share different values from us. On top of that, we are all constantly changing and healing, which can create friction in our relationships. You may love someone deeply, but if they cannot meet you where you are, it's hard to maintain a healthy dynamic. Ending relationships is not a failure, and it is okay to leave space in your heart for people while realizing they cannot be in your life right now.
May shares how she took stock of her relationships in order to identify what wasn't working for her. Furthermore, she discusses how she developed boundaries to protect her wellbeing and maintain a positive attitude toward others.
Additionally, Chase and May discuss how healing is a continuous process.

Britt Frank is a trauma therapist and the author of The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward.
Today’s conversation centers largely on the topic of emotional regression: that all-too-common anxiety-inducing feeling that you are younger than your chronological age. Britt says that this is an issue that needs to be talked about more, because it can affect anybody regardless of their mental health status—even the most successful men and women in society.
Some signs of emotional regression? Indecisiveness, fear of making people angry, can’t say “no”, emotional explosions, wanting to be the “favorite” child/employee/friend, imposter syndrome, and many more.
Believing that “surviving childhood is trauma in and of itself,” Britt asserts that, “if you don’t grieve the fact that your childhood is over, you end up repeating it.”
At the same time, Britt notes that humans are a “sliding scale”, constantly swinging from equilibrium to one extreme to another and back again.
According to Britt, instead of trying to practice “self-regulation” all the time on one end, or being overly emotional and passionate on the other, we need to be willing to embrace a dynamic way of life. This way, we allow ourselves to consciously shift from one emotional state to each other, and from a state of high energy to a state of rest, acknowledging that how we feel is completely and utterly how our body wants us to feel in the moment.
Britt reminds us that “our brain is on our side”—that anxiety is simply a sign telling us that something needs to be addressed. This means allowing ourselves to grieve, as opposed to suppressing that grief, is what will ultimately lead to our healing.

Imagine a world where growing your own food is as nutritious and cost-effective as grocery shopping at your favorite store. Jacob Pechenik, the Founder and CEO of Lettuce Grow, is on a mission to make this happen now. Referring to the company as the answer to industrialized big agriculture, Jacob’s mission through Lettuce Grow (and its parent company The Farm Project) is to “democratize the growing of food for all” by “providing families access to clean, unprocessed food, [...] decreasing transportation emissions, drastically reducing water usage, and recycling ocean-bound plastics from places that lack recycling initiatives.”
Having always had a passion for sustainable farming, Jacob began with a dream to transform the wasteful industrial food system. He started with the question, “How do I get more people to the farm?”, but later on began to ask, “How do I get the farm to more people?”
That question led to his mission to create a million farmers throughout the country and by extension empower consumers to choose healthier, locally-produced alternatives. In the process, he hopes more people can reclaim that age-old sense of pride that comes with preparing one’s own meal.

Rachel Scheer shares how she came to discover her natural talent for weightlifting which, combined with an insatiable work ethic and trust and belief in herself, led her down an unexpected path that would challenge everything she knew about health and wellness. After a series of gut-related issues reared their heads at the beginning of her fitness career, it all came to a head when the motility in her gut completely halted.
After being told that the only solution to her condition was the removal of her entire large intestine (an option she seriously considered for a while), Rachel eventually decided that there had to be another way. She threw herself into studying as much as she could about the gut, leading her to discover the power of the microbiome and a pathway to healing she never realized existed.
She talks about how to identify and eliminate the stressors that contribute to gut-related problems—whether they be dietary, emotional, or environmental stressors. “Our body has an innate ability to heal,” says Rachel, “once we can get out of our own way.”
Rachel reflects on the final piece of the puzzle she had to solve on her healing journey: addressing unresolved trauma. She shares how she forced herself to practice brutally honesty in order to evaluate the stories she told about herself and rewrite the ones that didn’t serve her.
Needless to say, Rachel’s progress has completely surpassed all of her doctors’ expectations. To her, healing and growth ultimately comes down to embracing our truth and choosing what brings joy and love into our lives.

So, you’ve gained a following on social media… now what? The answer isn’t always clear and direct. What we have come to realize is that Instagram and TikTok are no longer (or perhaps, never were) places where you had to appear perfect to gain a following or appeal to a large audience.
It’s easier than ever to create content and connect to people through social media, but not many people aren’t talking about how to handle the immense growth and exposure that comes with being an influencer.
Sam Gwaz is a health coach and fitness influencer who, since growing her Instagram platform by 200,000+ new followers in the last 3 years, has had to grow along with her social media presence in many ways.
In this discussion, Sam and Chase talk about her growth and evolution as a health and fitness content creator on social media. They speak on the power of vulnerability in building confidence, Sam’s current struggle as a content creator, and how to reevaluate your social media presence to ensure you’re creating authentic content that’s aligned with your audience. Then, Sam shares her hopes for the future of social media along with a few pieces of advice for aspiring content creators.

This begs the question… Can shifting our beliefs around aging improve our health and increase our lifespan?
Here to answer that question is Dr. Becca Levy, a researcher and faculty member at Yale School of Public Health and the author of Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long and Well You Live.

In this solo episode, Chase reflects on his seasons of training, unpacking the things that have kept him motivated—and continue to keep him motivated—in and out of the gym.
After over 17 years of purposefully and intentionally leading an active lifestyle, one of the most fundamental lessons Chase has learned is the cumulative power of consistency. You could say that just stepping foot in the gym when it’s the last thing you feel like doing, is already half the battle.
Many times, it really comes down to doing whatever it takes to simply show up, even if that means relying on external motivation to push you forward. Going through your personal seasons of fitness means that there will be weeks, months, or even a few years when that internal motivation that first got you going to the gym is no longer enough.
As you “mature” on your fitness journey, you will need to find ways to reinvigorate your passion for training. Chase finds more purpose and excitement in his training today in large part because he found an amazing community of like-minded athletes. He also recently began testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), an ongoing experience which he speaks about at length in this episode.
All that said, Chase reminds us to not neglect our mental and emotional health for the sake of our fitness goals. In his words, sometimes “motivation deserves a sit-down” so that we have the opportunity to check in with ourselves in a holistic sense.
Chase is also a staunch advocate for tracking your training, because if you can’t visually see your progress down to all of those minute wins that add up, it becomes so easy to lose motivation.
Finally, throughout your seasons of training, always remember to embrace radical honesty not just to ensure you’re really on the right path to growth, but also to assess whether you still have the same passion and excitement for the training modalities you’re currently engaged in.

Austin Cohen, Founder and CEO of FlexIt Fitness, sits down with Chase to discuss how he was able to keep the momentum going for his “a-la-carte digital fitness solution” in spite of the many setbacks and distractions throughout the past two years.
In fact, he says that it is the challenges themselves which incentivized him and his team at FlexIt to think up cutting-edge solutions that they never would have in the old, familiar normal.
The company’s focus, says Austin, has always been on “broadening access, of helping people understand that they can experience things that maybe they previously felt to be prohibitively costly, prohibitively inaccessible, or uncomfortable or intimidating.”
He says that one of the keys to being able to adapt to the situation at hand and adopt new ways of doing things is by staying determined to achieve the same goals one might have for their health and fitness, but being willing to consider options that may be outside one’s comfort zone.
Austin points to three major developments that the pandemic has spurred on within the fitness industry (and how FlexIt has capitalized on them): livestreaming, pre-recorded content, and hardwire. “None of those categories are new,” he notes. “They just became more widely adopted, more widely marketed, and put in front of our faces more than they ever have been before.”
Finally, Austin talks about some of the unique opportunities that virtual training can offer to fitness professionals, and why conducting successful online sessions as a coach is a radically different beast from training clients in-person.

Michael Chernow believes that anyone can reinvent themselves. The New York-based restaurateur, TV host, and fitness personality came a long way, recalling a past defined by depression, unemployment, and crumbling relationships with his own family.
“I hated myself, truly,” Michael admits. Everything changed one day when he walked into a Muay Thai gym and was gently yet firmly led by his instructors to live a life of physical wellness (which included a daily bowl of oatmeal for breakfast) along with a heavy dose of self-respect.
Asked about fear, Michael distinguishes between living in fear and living with fear and why he believes that the key to growth is through giving up the former and learning to deal with the latter. As for his own fears, Michael says that he has never had a fear of failure, particularly once he had gotten on the road to turning his life around.
Michael dives deep into the power of habit, which he illustrates by talking about his meticulous early morning routine involving around 17 activities. Michael contends that each of these activities, when done, is a win, and so “by 6:00 in the morning, I’ve literally won 17 times,” ensuring that his “ability to make great decisions throughout the day are far greater.”
His strong belief in positive rituals—and oatmeal—was the spark that led to the launch of the lifestyle and wellness brand Kreatures of Habit and its plant-based, gluten-free, superfood-laced oatmeal The PrOATagonist.

Niyc Pidgeon is a life coach and the author of the best-selling book, Now Is Your Chance, which talks about living a happy life by implementing positive psychology principles into your life. Starting her career as a personal trainer, helping people with their health and fitness goals, Niyc was often approached by her clients as a counsellor for their emotional and mental issues. Those interactions made her realize the intangible link – between the mind and the body, making her want to explore it in depth. Eventually, Niyc studied positive psychology and made it her mission to change the lives of humans using its principles.
In today’s discussion, Niyc and Chase unwind the core principles of positive psychology and how it drives noticeable change in the lives of humans. Niyc explains why positive psychology isn’t only about happy things but instead involves finding the light in situations, however bad they may be. As research states, it’s about finding ‘three positive emotions for every negative emotion’ (the ratio may vary depending on your situation and state, but the principle stays intact). It’s about breaking away from rumination and focussing on the ‘now’.
You’ll learn to differentiate a fixed mindset from a growth mindset and discover the huge importance of cultivating a growth mindset to stay positive. Moreover, you’ll learn the changes that can be brought into your mindset by being non-judgmental, curious, and operating at your edge: all foundations to cultivating positive psychology.
Remember, your emotions are likely contagious; you can always choose to spread a smile.

Personal trainer and author Mike Matthews returns to talk about his newest release, Muscle for Life: Get Lean, Strong, and Healthy at Any Age!.
Best known for his book Bigger Leaner Stronger and its female-focused counterpart Thinner Leaner Stronger—both released in 2014—Mike has now trained his focus onto longevity for both men and women in their 40s and above who are relatively new to strength training.
Mike is a staunch promoter of making fitness a lifestyle instead of a program. In his own words: “Instead of a 30-day plan, I want to show people how to create a 30-year plan.” Creating that 30-year plan for yourself requires going back to basics.
Mike invokes the 80/20 rule, in which 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes. The rule certainly applies to fitness, where a few fundamental principles—four in particular—can be responsible for the majority of results.
Those four fundamental principles, which he dives into in today’s conversation, are controlling your calories, eating a high-protein diet, consuming relatively nutritious and unprocessed foods, and working out three-to-six hours a week.
Asked for his overall view of the role of fitness in one’s life, Mike says, “I try not to make fitness my life, an end unto itself.” Instead, he looks at fitness as a tool that he uses in service of the things that really matter, such as relationships and career.

Maxx and Chase return to talk about their ten-plus year journey in the world of fitness.
The younger Chewning kicks things off by reflecting on his love for fitness. He only started lifting after he was spurred on by his bros in college to hit the gym. It didn’t take long for Maxx’s total disinterest to turn into a daily non-negotiable. “It was something that I made fun of, then got into. It literally changed my entire life.”
Now over a decade into the game, Maxx looks back at the many accomplishments he’s garnered as a powerlifter. He says he’s just about ready to retire from powerlifting now that he’s on the verge of hitting numbers that few at his age and in his weight class have matched.
Overall, Maxx and Chase agree that community has become a stronger priority over hitting PR after PR. Maxx shares how he aims to approach his gym sessions moving forward.

Jonathan de Potter is the Founder of Behold Retreats, a health and wellness platform that provides holistic plant medicine programs in beautiful, conscious, and soulful locations. He advocates unlocking true human potential by tapping into the inner self using holistic practices and plant medicine, a journey that stemmed from his desire to find his own life's purpose.
In 2016, as an atheist confined in the corporate web, Jonathan took a year off from his full-time job for his first-ever plant medicine retreat in Peru. Humbled by the experience, he started spending more time researching plant medicine, and in the process, realized its connection with the human subconscious and how it helps embody life with more purpose and meaning. Today, he imparts this learning and wisdom as a healing facilitator to help transform the lives of many more people, unlike popular practice that consolidates knowledge into a product or periodic program.
In today's conversation, Jonathan explores what it takes to master the journey of a true healer, including profound connection and surrendering for deeper exploration of the subconscious and conscious realms. Moreover, he intertwines science, culture, and the community's power to explain energetic interactions (that exist beyond your physical body) and talks about using plant-based medicines to intentionally release inherent trauma or lower-level energies to live a more conscious, content life.
But what if your life is already free of the said trauma and is as happy as you know it? Is there a higher level of self you could experience?
As Jonathan explains, there's a level beyond your present state of consciousness that involves greater trust and confidence in the universe; a life that serves not only you but also inspires the world outside you. That's where energetic healing has the potential to take you.

Heart rate variability, or HRV, is an essential parameter to measure your heart health and stress levels at any point. While a higher variability of the metric signals that your body can push past strenuous exercises some more, a lower measure is an indication that it needs a break.
Today we explore identified ways to improve your HRV – and all that they demand of you are simple, conscious changes in your everyday habits.
Chase uses his personal story and backable science to teach you 10 simple tips that improve HRV. Referencing Mark Van Deusen’s article on Heart Rate Variability (Whoop), he touches on its nervous system origination, significance, stress impact, and applications so you can know why the HRV is a breakthrough metric for wellness. In addition, you’ll learn about the body’s regulatory processes of homeostasis and allostasis that are responsible for maintaining equilibrium despite internal and external changes (both central to your brain’s stress handling mechanism).
For those of you new to the whole HRV study or seeking some of the best toolset, supplements, and product recommendations to start with, Chase also shares the products he personally uses and how they help him in his wellness journey – do not forget to tune in!

Challenges suck, but needless to say, they're an inevitable part of life. Whether they're personal or professional, they can strike when you least expect them and leave you feeling helpless and adrift… forcing you into situations you'd have never imagined before. What does it take to pull yourself from back there? How do you not fall apart?
This week, Chase sits with Casey Adams on The Casey Adams Show podcast to revisit his journey as an ex-military man, health coach, and established podcaster, explaining how he reinvented himself continually to chase his passion despite the problems.
Burdened by a queue of stressors post his father's death, Chase battled with himself for years after the tragedy – physically, mentally, and emotionally, including an injury that led to reconstructive surgery in both his hips. The experience had a profound impact on his personal and professional life, and unexpectedly enough, turned it around for the better. Despite the odds, per his father's advice, Chase lives and advocates a life ever forward, one that's led by passion and a desire to do better.
In this discussion, Chase breaks down his journey, explaining the pile-up of challenges and the succession of events that led him to the world of podcasts. Chase explains his uncompromising principles in life and how they've shaped his life's trajectory, the most important being a willingness to continually chase the next big thing and always show up.

Matthew Paetz returns on Ever Forward Radio to share how he has been navigating the seemingly endless period of uncertainty brought about by the pandemic—particularly around how he has been striving to shift from being what he calls an “unconscious consumer” to being a “conscious creator”.
“I’m creating a life I’ve never had by doing things I’ve never done,” says Matthew, adding that his focus has been on building on himself over his achievements. One of the major ways he has been doing this over the past 18 months is by immersing himself in the world of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as a modality for addressing trauma.
Matthew defines these guided sessions as “medicines for the soul”—contrasting it with alcohol which he calls “medicine for the ego”. He then breaks down the development of our ego and how these sessions allow you to detach from that ego and see your life from a completely different perspective.
“These medicines, in a guided session, would be the greatest gift I could give the entire world,” says Matthew. He believes that, should the public embrace this gift, Western medicine as it pertains to mental health would be “eradicated” in a matter of months.

Love, humility, selflessness, etc.).

He shares his personal rituals that have helped him break out of and steer clear of the trap of negativity, including ice baths and stream-of-consciousness writing. By rubbing up against the threshold of discomfort, says Joe, the mind and body develops a higher tolerance for pain.

Studies show that, when performing any given task, we’re giving our attention to that task only half the time. Yet, as our guest explains, this is by design.

It was through the various studies conducted through Field Trip Health that Chase was truly exposed to the world of ketamine and its enhancing benefits to the psychotherapeutic process.

Do you ever wonder why we exist here on planet Earth?
With all the pressure and messaging from society and religion to be a certain way, have nice things, make more money, and reach a certain status, it’s often hard for us to realize the essence of being human, which is that our worth and power lie within us.
Best-selling author Doug Cartwright has learned that “if you’re using something external to solve an internal problem, you’re never going to get fulfilled.”
The truth is, you’re worthy of infinite love, peace, and joy just because you’re alive. Your worth is not dependent on anything but your existence. That’s kind of a relief, isn’t it? Though getting to a place where you’re living a deep, rich, meaningful life isn’t an easy journey, it’s a journey worth embarking on.

Ronan Levy is a pioneer in the therapeutic psychedelics industry. He is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health. With centres opening across North America, Field Trip Health helps people to heal and heighten their engagement with the world via the healing modality of psychedelics.
“There’s doubt about it. We are in a psychedelic renaissance,” says Ronan, referring to the recent dramatic realignment of mainstream views around traditional medicine. Calling it “a massive change in the global zeitgeist”, this paradigm shift goes beyond health and wellness, reflecting a change in how we view emotions and even spirituality.
Contributing heavily to this revolution is the mental health crisis that had already been on the rise for years but was further aggravated by the pandemic for the past year-and-a-half.
Citing “significant humanitarian and economic implications”, Ronan says that “depression and anxiety disorders are going to become the leading global burden of disease, meaning they will cost the global economy more than any other disease out there, primarily from lost productivity.”
With these realities in mind, Ronan dives deep into the history, science, and psychological and pro-social benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
He speaks on the common, decades-long misconceptions surrounding this subject, and the groundbreaking research done on ketamine and psilocybin that, if rediscovered in the world of conventional medicine, may become a key factor in eradicating not just the current mental health crisis, but many of the social and environmental ills we face today as well.

Natural, clean label products have taken center-stage in virtually every consumer category, from consumables, beauty, household cleaners, and personal care.

Our outer world is a direct reflection of our inner world, and optimal health is all about adopting the right habits that support those two worlds. It all starts with the self-awareness and openness to change embodied in Ayurvedic medicine.
It’s a healing system which teaches us that change is an intrinsic quality in nature, and so why shouldn’t we see that reality of continuous change in ourselves? In other words, Ayurveda teaches us to turn to nature for wisdom on how we, as human beings, should discern what’s best for our life.
When we experience symptoms of any kind, whether internally or externally, it is an indicator that we are not in harmony with the world around us, or with ourselves. From how we’ve been eating and sleeping to how we’ve been managing our relationships and career—all of these things either support or weaken our health.

Today’s conversation is a sobering deep dive into the highly controversial but crucial subject that is the COVID-19 vaccine, featuring Jonathan Baktari MD.
Dr. Baktari is the CEO of e7 Health, a Las Vegas-based company focused on preventative health and wellness. He kicks off the conversation with a high-level explanation of exactly what a vaccine is. The goal of a vaccine, he says, is to take advantage of the immune system’s strengths by “tricking” the body.
The body is injected with a portion of a germ, whether that germ is a virus or bacteria. The dose is small enough to get the body to detect the germ, thereby training the immune system to become efficient at fighting it while minimizing the damage it could have done to the body if the germ were “whole”.
Dr. Baktari and Chase go on to unpack the trickiest questions the world is now faced with as in navigating the ever-evolving COVID-19 crisis—from how to interpret official data, to the issue of personal freedom versus the common good, to the under-addressed and overlooked public health issue that is a lack of education on prevention.

Science shows us that sex and intimacy are some of the most bonding human experiences of our lives. So… what happens when religion gets thrown into the mix?
Kat Harris is here to have an eye-opening discussion about boundaries, consent, monogamy, infidelity, shame, and most prominently, waiting until marriage to have sex.
After growing up in the south as a Christian in the peak of the purity movement, Kat moved to New York City and noticed that her thoughts about sex and singleness began to change. She began to question the word of God and why she’d been waiting until marriage to have sex.
As more and more women of faith become burdened with sexual shame, feeling unequipped to confidently explore both the dating world and the world of singleness, Kat is on a mission to free them of their shackles and help them discover their own sexual freedom.
Listen in to gain insight into her journey with dating, desire, and sex, and to learn if (after all her research and inquisition) she’s still waiting until marriage.

The pandemic, political disagreements, war… there are so many sources of separation and loneliness in the world. That’s why, now more than ever, we must shed light on the importance of human connection, attunement, and cultivating presence within ourselves as well as with others.
Meaningful connection is an innate, primal need from the time we’re born to the time we return to the dirt of the Earth.
When we find that connection, we enter a flow state and even our brain waves become synchronized. Imagine the immense change and growth we could experience if we put more energy into connecting with ourselves and one another!

Ryan Kelley is the Founder and President of The Home Loan Expert, which he built from the ground-up, with zero capital, in the middle of the Great Recession in 2008. Today, the company is one of the fastest-growing direct mortgage lenders in the country.
Asked how he did it, Ryan says that, from the very beginning he simply put his focus on anything but profit and never taking his foot off the gas, even as he began to experience growth. In an industry typically characterized by greed, The Home Loan Expert found tremendous success by running in the opposite direction and paying it forward.
Ryan speaks on the initiatives that fuel his passion for what he does.
His love for the outdoors inspired him to establish The Keep Climbing Foundation, which initially came from an idea between him and his friends to climb mountains to raise money for childhood cancer. Today, the foundation supports a variety of causes that are in need of financial support and awareness.

For transgender activist Precious Brady-Davis, her turning point came when she realized that she had to love herself first before she would be able to open her heart and attract those who could truly love her. “People can’t give you what you don’t have.”, she says.
Having grown up in the Pentecostal faith, she recalls her seemingly endless struggle with being othered by her own religious circle for being a biracial, gender-nonconforming kid. But the same “neglect, instability, and abandonment” that she experienced daily as a child only fueled her determination to find acceptance—even if it meant stepping away from her faith community.
Her journey led her to become what she is today: “A trans woman fully actualized, absolutely confident, and precious.” She lives with her husband Myles—who is transmasculine—and infant daughter Zayn.
In July 2021, Precious released her memoir, I Have Always Been Me, in which she looks back on 35 years that began with immense trauma, and how she was able to turn it all around.

Cal Callahan is the host of The Great Unlearn podcast, on which he dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit.
Chase and Cal kick things off with a discussion on parenting, with Cal disavowing the oft-quoted saying, “There’s no such thing as a bad kid; just a bad parent.” There was a time he believed it, but not anymore.
He now insists that parenting is about showing up for your kids while allowing them to experience the fullness of life. It’s about setting appropriate boundaries but never beating yourself up when your children stray on occasion.
“I’m not doing this because I want to be a cool dad,” says Cal. “I’m doing it because I want this kid to have his own experience. And I want to show him that I trust him and I trust his judgement.”
And just as Cal had to unlearn everything he thought he knew about raising kids, so too did he have to forgo many of his beliefs about how to live his own life.
Listen in as Cal dares us to question our belief system, to figure out whether our beliefs are really ours or someone else’s, or to simply discover whether or not we’ve been BSing ourselves all our lives. He invites us on a journey back into our body, where we’re able to put our trust in our hearts over our minds.
Finally, he challenges us to continue loving our wounded selves even as we unlearn our old paradigms and step into a new phase of knowing.

Other than the toxins themselves, there was only one commonality shared by every individual in this study:

What makes collagen such a unique protein and why should you care?
For starters, collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, making up about a third of your body’s protein composition.
It’s known as the “glue” that holds everything together, and once you hit 25, your body’s ability to create collagen begins to weaken; hence the “aches and pains” of old age. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Today’s guest, Charlie Bailes, says that he is in better shape at 34 than he was at 24, mainly thanks to incorporating more collagen into his diet.
But what really opened his eyes to the power of collagen was its healing effect on his daughter Vivian, who at 1-and-a-half years old, routinely became sick. After introducing collagen into her diet (alongside other healthy lifestyle choices such as cutting out gluten, vegetable oils, and sugar), Vivian, who was told by multiple pulmonologists that she would be on an inhaler for the rest of her life, now only uses her inhaler about two times a year.
Collagen had changed the lives of Charlie and his family, and he wanted to pay it forward. In 2018, Charlie started CB Supplements, founded on the three pillars of premium product, education, and customer appreciation.

Eric Champ is a Marine Corps veteran who currently owns and operates Champ City Holistic Fitness and a 14-by-7 mobile gym.
He is living his passion, but it didn’t come overnight. In fact, there was a point in his life when Eric didn’t even know if he would live to see the day he turned 40 years old.
While in the Marine Corps, holistic health and wellness was the last thing on Eric’s list of priorities. He partied almost every night, loved his drink, and eventually ballooned up to over 250 pounds. He knew deep inside that something was horribly wrong with his lifestyle, but he never could never admit it just because he was too afraid to face himself.
But the day inevitably came when Eric had to come to terms with what was happening, when he had to engage in “that showdown with myself”. He made a fateful decision, while gazing at his deteriorating body in front of the mirror, that he would turn his life around. That decision, coupled with his wife Katie’s determination to keep him accountable, drove Eric to keep his eyes firmly rooted on his new path.
The next morning, Eric grabbed his shorts, headed to the YMCA down the road, and walked a mile on the treadmill. And so began a journey that would later inspire him to launch a fitness platform that would quickly grow into a thriving worldwide business.

Being grateful for the cards you were dealt from birth—whether you label them as “good” or “bad”—is the key to thriving in life despite the challenges (whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc.) unique to you.

Statistics show that the majority of Americans are now obese, in spite of the fact the fitness industry is bigger today than at any other point in time.
Sal Di Stefano of Mind Pump Media dives deep into this alarming disconnect and goes through the laundry list of issues that emerge as a result of poor health both on an individual level and on a society level.
In 2021, Sal published the book The Resistance Training Revolution, which details his observations and lessons learned after over 20 years in the fitness world. Frustrated at how the industry has failed to adequately address an obesity crisis that only continues to get worse, Sal wrote the book to tackle some of the common myths and misconceptions around health and fitness.
In particular, he hopes to change the mainstream paradigm regarding resistance training, which he believes is “the best form of exercise to burn fat, boost metabolism, and achieve health benefits you cannot obtain from other forms of exercise.”
“I made the book to specifically focus on trying to get people to adopt a form of exercise that has now been proven through study, but also one that I’ve seen through experience to be the most effective form of exercise for all of the health problems that we tend to run into in modern society—everything from obesity to diabetes to dementia to Alzheimer’s to loss of mobility to hormone issues. I’m trying to change the stigma that surrounds this form of exercise.”
Sal goes on to explain why cardio and tracking calories burned during exercise are two of the worst things to focus on when trying to lose weight. He then gives his thoughts on the dangers of the “self love” trend and why you should never conflate “self image” with “body image”.

They also dive deep into emotional honesty as being fundamental to progression (or regression, if you lack it). Emotional honesty, they say, serves as a guide that allows you to filter the friendships and other relationships that serve you from those that don’t. That honesty also helps you accept the ease of falling in love and finding your person.
Finally, they reflect on why your perspective of events, particularly challenging ones, is the key factor to your getting through them while taking away valuable lessons for growth. From the divine ambush, discover how you can turn the holy frustration which follows into radical acceptance and, at last, go from there into sacred flow.

Wendy McCallum is a burnout and balance coach, author, and speaker. In this conversation, she recounts her own struggles dealing with a high-stress lifestyle in the past, as well as the common signs and symptoms of burnout. She offers practical tools that anyone can use to both recover from burnout and prevent it from happening again in the future.
She talks about unhealthy coping mechanisms such as alcohol, food, and social media and how we can learn to rely less on these crutches and become more present.
Wendy also gives her thoughts on the unique challenges that many of us experienced in 2020 and continue to face in 2021.
One of her observations at the tail-end of the pandemic has been the emergence of a “third shift” in the lives of working professionals. If our “first shift” represents our actual career and our “second shift” refers to the people under our care—whether our children or aging parents—our new “third shift” is helping to orchestrate or manage schooling from home.
This, of course, is on top of the overall anxiety all of us have felt in the past year-and-a-half. The pandemic and the resulting lockdowns have led to a significantly higher stress load on the average human being.
Burnout is one of the symptoms of this stress. Whether one came into 2020 physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy, or already overworked, almost everybody has had to deal with exhaustion. (On the other hand, a very small minority—mainly business owners and employers—have found opportunities to become flexible and even more productive in their work.)
Wendy reflects on her own experience with burnout and how she learned to create a life that she no longer needed to escape from.

“If we have a platform that allows us to account for the physiological and psychological variables that impact our performance, then we can effectively choose our level of performance at any given moment.”
Kristen Holmes is the Vice President of Performance Science at WHOOP, a platform that delivers personalized insights on your fitness, sleep, and recovery to you in real-time, effectively facilitating the connection between you and your body.
According to Kristen, WHOOP allows us to apply our behaviors, because once we can understand, in a quantifiable way, why our body is performing the way it currently is, we then gain the confidence to be intentional in everything we do—from the sports we play to the daily routines we live out day-to-day.
Ultimately, we’re all just trying to be as engaged, present, and available as we can be, no matter the task at hand. To be able to track performance changes through data in real-time is a powerful way to pinpoint weaknesses, fill gaps, and adapt to environmental stressors.
Listen in as Kristen does a deep dive into how personalized insights by WHOOP can help anybody, athlete or otherwise, to live their lives with more energy and joy.
She also shares why it’s not just the physiological parameters that influence our adaptive capacity; that the research indicates that the psychological component impacts us more profoundly than anything we can do physiologically.

As with any journey of self-improvement, weight loss starts and ends with mindset. “Stop thinking of food as ‘good’ or ‘bad’,” says today’s guest, Carter Good. “There’s just food and the context in which it is eaten.”
The struggle to form healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits comes down to the stories that you tell yourself around every decision you make, big or small. Carter himself attributes his past obesity to “using food as an emotional suppressant.”
Carter goes on to say, “It’s really about reframing things and getting people to a place where they don’t feel like they have to make better choices and they have to exercise, but that they get to do these things.”
Carter Good is a weight loss coach and the founder of the Leaner for Life community. He shares the story of how he lost 100 pounds in eight months, and why the hardest part of his journey came only after he lost all that weight.

It took only 24 hours to turn young Logan Sneed’s entire world upside down. A college athlete and aspiring entrepreneur, a stage-4 brain cancer diagnosis was the last thing Logan ever expected at that point in his life. But that’s exactly what happened following a near-accident on the road when Logan blacked out while FaceTiming his girlfriend.
Together with his strong-willed parents, Logan was able to connect with one of the most sought-after neurosurgeons in the world, who thankfully managed to extract the egg-sized tumor. But just when Logan thought he was in the clear, he was given ten years to live with no word of hope whatsoever.
Even after receiving his “death sentence”, Logan soldiered on, determined to find a solution. He found it when a long-time mentor encouraged him to take up the ketogenic diet, which at the time was still widely unheard of.
Logan went all-in and not only found a new lease on life, but also decided to share his experiences with the world on social media. In spite of a barrage of haters who doubted his story and the legitimacy of his so-called “keto diet”, there were enough people who were inspired by his journey for Logan to realize that he could monetize his growing brand.
Even this wasn’t the end of Logan’s trials. Listen in as he describes the lowest point in his journey so far—even beyond the diagnosis—as well as his betrayal at the hands of a man he once called “mentor”.
But Logan also shares why, when all is said and done, cancer was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, having led him down the path to discovering his purpose and impacting thousands of lives (and rapidly counting) for the better.

Up till only a few years ago, Sean and Dala McDevitt never saw themselves leading a fast-growing community of wellness enthusiasts with 19 coaches on staff that has led to over 2800 people completely transforming their lives.
The couple had always had a passion for health and fitness (they actually met at a gym) even back when they worked traditional jobs (Sean was in sales and marketing, and Dala was a labor and delivery nurse).
In 2016, Dala set up her Instagram profile @dalalovesdumbbells to share how she found and healed herself through fitness, with the hope of inspiring and elevating others as well. Monetizing the brand was not on her radar; that is, until her budding community began referring to themselves with the hashtag #DLDNation.
Two years later, Sean and Dala decided to quit full-time employment to fully dedicate themselves to #DLDNation.
There was nothing easy about both Sean and Dala leaving their traditional career and plunging headfirst into the world of entrepreneurship; specifically in the health and wellness coaching space. What’s more, neither Sean nor Dala were “certified” trainers or nutritionists.
Listen in as the McDevitts go down memory lane and speak on lessons learned since their life-changing decision to become online trainers exclusively through the #DLDNation brand, including how they navigated the many challenges of running a coaching business brought on by the pandemic.

John Malanca was inspired to start United Patients Group in 2011 after a totally unexpected episode when his father-in-law Stan was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer along with a brain tumor on his brain stem. The situation seemed hopeless, seeing their father going from being a seemingly healthy 77-year-old one day, to being given a mere two weeks to live the next.
“When you’re diagnosed,” says John, recalling those moments of desperation, “you’ll try anything.” That “anything”, as fate would have it, was cannabis. They started by giving Stan THC capsules infused with coconut oil in order to get him to start eating again. It worked. A day later, he was back at work on a computer.
Nine months after the diagnosis, John’s family got an email that simply stated “no evidence of recurrent disease.” That was in 2011. Today, Stan is alive and well.
Listen in as John shares the exciting journey that emerged out of that harrowing experience. He describes the many benefits of the cannabis plant and, by extension, naturopathic modalities, and how these can help bring the body back to homeostasis.

“I don’t know any guy who grew up dreaming of starting a male fertility company,” says today’s guest, Khaled Kteily, before proceeding to share the story of why he, in fact, decided to do just that. “There are moments in your life that sometimes take you down unexpected paths.”
Khaled’s own unexpected path began with a freak accident in Tulsa, Oklahoma during his time as a health and life sciences consultant. One day, after a coffee run during a road trip with colleagues, the car was forced to do a sudden break, causing the scalding hot beverages to spill all over Khaled’s lap. His skin was ripped clean off and he suffered second-degree burns that took a month-and-a-half to heal.
Months later, a close friend of Khaled’s found out he had cancer, and so he froze his sperm before beginning a chemotherapy process that would likely leave him infertile. Inspired, Khaled visited a sperm bank to do the same.
Frustrated by the awkward and clinical process involved in sperm freezing, alongside the alarming lack of conversations around declining male fertility rates, Khaled sought to make a change.
This was the spark that led to the founding of Legacy in 2018 and its release of the first product which allows men to test and freeze their sperm in the comfort of their own home, and obtain personalized recommendations based on their results.

If we want to change any negative aspect of our lives, whether it be around our physical or mental health, how we communicate with others, or manage our time or money, it all starts with becoming self-aware of our own deep-seated beliefs and paradigms, then reframing our interpretation of the events that formed those beliefs and paradigms.

There’s been a rising trend in recent years of using technology to better understand and optimize the human body.

Relationships isn’t normally the first word that pops to mind when we talk about food. Today’s guest illustrates what it truly means to embody our relationship with food and defines “healthy eating” in terms that go way beyond calories, macros, and choosing so-called “good” foods.
When we’re in tune with what we’re eating, food allows us to connect to ourselves, to other people, and to the world on a visceral and emotional level.
Listen in as Kara Campbell shares how she came to embrace the connective power of food at an early age, just from sitting around the table with her family at dinner time every night. She explains how this evolved into the idea that dining with others and asking intentional questions leads to friends and strangers alike mirroring pieces of themselves back to one another through conversation.
She then unpacks the topic of intuitive eating and why most people fail to reconnect to their bodies and simply trust that they know what they need.
Kara then talks about how her upbringing within purity culture had a profoundly negative impact on her relationship with food and why women growing up in such an environment almost always have body image issues and destructive eating habits.
Finally, Kara touches on why our body is our wisest teacher and the surprising benefits beyond the physical that one experiences once they are able to repair their relationship with food.

Barton Scott is a chemical engineer and nutritionist. In 2025, he founded Upgraded Formulas, a company offering a line of supplements “that are 100% bioavailable and are absorbed better by the body than any other brand on the market today.” Our bodies, Barton claims, only “absorb about 25% or less” of most supplements on the market. This fact, he says, is less telling of what is and isn’t in most of today’s supplements and more of a reflection of how inefficient our bodies are at absorbing the nutrients in them. In fact, this inefficiency is only going to get worse for many as certain trends of modern living continue to wreak havoc on their gut health. From bad diets to excess drinking to living stressful lives, a variety of factors that too many people today are familiar with contribute to gut dysfunction. “Because of that,” continues Barton, “I knew that trying to heal the gut was not going to be enough.” Listen in as Barton reflects on the personal experiences which would lead to the founding of Upgraded Formulas.

Harvey Martin and Matt Arends of the MindStrong Project speak on the modalities used at the MindStrong Project, particularly heat and cold therapy, as tools that “bring you back to yourself faster”, that help anybody recover and reach a refreshed state of consciousness in the most natural way possible. Their work, ultimately, is around helping a person, through their own physiology, take control.
The MindStrong Project believes in “respecting the animal” in our humanity while exercising the power that puts us at the top of the food chain, namely “advancing our cognition”.
As Harvey and Matt explain, advancing our cognition tends to be prioritized at the expense of respecting the animal. Their team uses the modalities that they do in response to the environmental stressors of the modern world in an effort to prepare and allow the body to recover from those stressors.
The MindStrong Project was founded in 2017 to shape the world of human performance by improving the physical, mental, and emotional capacities of top performers through tried-and-tested natural breath, movement, and mindset protocols. Their team of five combines foundational nature-based training with industry leading strength, movement, conditioning, and nutrition programs.

The secret to mindfulness, according to Yedda Stancil, is understanding that “beliefs are not who we are.” She stresses the importance of self-awareness to be able to catch the thoughts that feed into our belief system, because our truths define neither us nor the people around us.
Chase and Yedda look back on the evolution of their respective careers. They reflect on the various opportunities they’ve faced and the many challenges to their beliefs over time, and how these experiences gradually shaped their purpose and their truth—what Yedda calls “the awakening of my narrative.”
Yedda goes on to share how she works with clients looking to experience change by helping them bring to the surface those things that are already inside them—to help them realize that they are enough.
Yedda Stancil is a consciousness coach and highly sought-after consultant for both individuals and organizations. She is the founder of Fantastically Fit! Inc. as well as Mindfulness Bar in Richmond, Virginia.

Sam Visnic believes staying on the cutting edge is the key to FASTER results. Learning new techniques, research, & integrating the best approaches to both clinical massage therapy and movement re-education are essential to understanding pain.
Sam is the founder of Release Muscle Therapy, where he provides pain relief through clinical massage and movement. He is also the owner of the Visnic Center For Integrated Health, whose focus is “on assisting clients with achieving the highest levels of health and vitality through an integrated approach.”
Sam began his career as a personal trainer at 19 during the fitness boom of the 1980s. He quickly found his niche in corrective exercise and decided to become a massage therapist subspecializing in neuromuscular therapist.
He describes the trajectory of his career and his expertise in his field as ever-evolving as knowledge about the human body expands over time. He quips, “What happens is, the more you learn in this field, the more challenging your clients get.”
Sam explains how his approach progressed in the past two decades, from an initial perspective that was purely mechanistic in its view of the body to one that is entirely holistic—known as the Biopsychosocial model of pain assessment and treatment. His open-mindedness and relentless drive to learn as much as he can earned Sam the reputation of being the go-to guy for difficult cases among his peers.
Listen in as Sam shares why developing the ability to build rapport with clients can be a game-changer for anyone in his field, why hypnotherapy is “the next thing”, how your brain controls how you feel pain independent from what’s actually happening to your body, and how to rewire your mind to dismantle unproductive beliefs.

How do we not just train harder, but also maximize everything around it including the mind, body, and soul? This is the question that drives Jeff Byers, a former NFL player and the current CEO of Amp Human, which offers innovative products that help athletes push the limits on their performance, adaptation, and recovery.
With an interest in both sports and entrepreneurship from an early age, Jeff always harbored an interest in finding creative ways to push his boundaries for growth as a human. “I was always thinking about the little things I could do to get better,” he says. “I tried to use my brain to work smarter than always just work harder.”
After retiring from the NFL, Jeff worked for a few years in the finance space before joining an early-stage biotech startup in late 2015. This company had discovered a way to deliver pharmaceuticals through the skin, bypassing the GI system which often limits the body’s ability to optimally absorb vitamins and minerals taken orally.
Not long after joining the company, Jeff and one of his partners developed a broad vision for a business offering products specifically formulated to optimize human performance, a space in which they saw, at the time, a huge gap in the market.
Listen in as Jeff talks all things human performance and optimization and why he refers to it as a “broad spectrum”. He also discusses the benefits of Amp Human’s flagship product, PR Lotion, and its newly released D+ Lotion.

Dr. Casey Means, MD is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Levels, a metabolic health company that provides individuals “real-time continuous glucose biofeedback coupled with machine-learning driven insights to inform personalized diet and lifestyle choices.”
Glucose, unlike other biomarkers, provides us a closed biofeedback loop which if tracked helps us make better diet and lifestyle choices on the fly. Other biomarkers, such as genetics or cholesterol, do not provide that real-time information which means we cannot track changes around them based on our nutritional and lifestyle choices on a day-to-day basis.
“The beauty of glucose,” says Dr. Means, “is that there are tools, right now, that can measure our glucose levels in real-time, at home, with a wearable sensor. Unlike these other variables, we can actually see how this biomarker is changing based on choices that we made five minutes ago.”
For several years, glucose monitors have been available as a treatment tool for diabetes. What Levels has done is take this technology to the mass consumer market to be used as a precision nutrition tool.

Adam Lowry is an entrepreneur and one of the four co-founders of Sugarbreak, launched last September 2, 2020 as the first all-natural, complete solution to help reduce sugar consumption and promote healthy blood sugar management. Sugarbreak, which raised $3 million in seed funding, offers pills and tongue strips to reduce sugar cravings. A suite of products backed by science was the goal. The brand itself was built on three pillars: all-natural, proven, and measurability.
Sugarbreak’s marquee product is Resist, a dissolvable minty breath strip that blocks your taste buds from tasting anything sweet for about 45 minutes, curbing sugar cravings on the spot. Its key ingredient is gymnema sylvestre which makes sugar taste like “sand on your tongue”. In other words, “it interrupts your ability to enjoy sweets” by “break[ing] that connection between your brain and the reward of sugar.”
Its other two products are Stabilize, a pre-meal capsule which helps block carbs and sugars and stabilizes post-meal sugar spikes and crashes, and Reduce, which supports consistently healthy A1c and blood glucose levels.
The company was founded to support diabetics and prediabetics through a clinically-tested supplement line that supports healthy blood sugar levels. However, for the consumer who has no medical need to reduce their sugar intake and simply wants to stay healthy, Sugarbreak’s products are “a convenient way of having on-demand willpower”.

She illustrates her approach to getting “unstuck” as traveling from one lilypad to another. The first lilypad is where most people start out: They have a dream (or at least the outline of one) but are too afraid to take the next step thanks to the myriad of what-ifs plaguing their mind.
Getting over to the second lilypad is all about creating a “river channel” by figuring out your unique gift and learning how to harness your primary skillset. It’s about acknowledging that the key to getting unstuck in your career is to not do what you love, but to do what you are.
The third and final lilypad is “a level of dharma” achieved only after consistently putting that skillset into action. Ashley explains that “when you’re vibing in the current of your gifts, what happens is, on the periphery, people start noticing where you’re talented.” When you work only where you thrive, and you own your unique gift, opportunities naturally arise and your career creates itself.
Ashley goes on to share how to get clarity on your best career fit, uncovering your identity, nipping resentment at work in the bud and finding your purpose, and the biggest myths that keep you stuck in your career.

Dr. Anthony Balduzzi is a naturopathic doctor, national champion bodybuilder, and founder of the Fit Father Project and Fit Mother Project—online health and fitness communities aimed at empowering busy parents to get healthy, lose weight, and build muscle through practical nutrition and exercise plans.
Seeing his father suffer through sickness and pass away at the age of 42 imprinted in young Anthony’s mind that life is both finite and fragile. Being faced with mortality so early on, no less through a parent, catapulted him into the world of health and fitness. He realized, as he went down this path, that it all comes down to “how we manage our nutrition, our sleep, our movement, and our mindset.”
The tragic, early experience of losing his dad planted a seed within Anthony to help others like his father who were “just busy and caught in the throes of managing everything” at the expense of their healthy routines. “Health,” he continues, “is often put on the backburner when we have bills and responsibilities, and I saw that happening to so many people.”
To this end, Dr. Balduzzi created the Fit Father Project alongside the Fit Mother Project, programs that simplify—and make sustainable—exercise and nutrition for everyday busy parents.

May joins Chase to discuss ways to become more intentional with your time and find ways as a couple to stay on track with your physical health and wellness goals.
One of the many challenges 2020 presented was very limited access to gyms and other fitness resources, especially for folks based in Los Angeles like Chase and May. It was a huge hurdle that made it harder not only to get regular workouts in, but also to stay motivated to maintain healthy eating habits.
With their local F45 having opened back up recently, there’s finally been some semblance of normalcy in the couple’s routine. And while F45’s high-intensity, circuit-based workouts aren’t exactly Chase’s cup of tea, the two agreed to make it a part of his routine alongside hers while waiting for other gyms to reopen. This way, each partner became accountable to each other to keep up the new shared routine.
Another new relationship hack that they embraced is sharing their calendar. “It just helps so much with planning life,” says Chase. “You’re more mindful of your partner, too.” And, adds May, it incentivizes either partner to make their daily priorities work around pre-existing tasks for the day.
Chase and May address other common obstacles that get in the way of a couple’s health goals, especially amid lockdowns, including how to keep each other’s eating habits in check and how to incorporate fitness into a family activity. The common thread running through it all is intentionality, discipline, and making sure that both partners are on the same page as they find better ways to navigate the many challenges and uncertainties presented by the new normal.

Liz recalls that “something was amiss” in that moment, and yet she decided she would not “stay in that spot”. She knew that it was no one else’s job—not even her husband’s—to lift her up. It was ultimately hers and hers alone. That was the catalyst behind her mission to promote self-love for mothers everywhere.

While her career has taken her to L.A., Natascha was born and raised in New York, where she was crowned Miss New York Teen USA at 18. She has since performed around the world with some of the biggest names in the music industry, bringing her two Billboard Top 30 dance hits along the way.
Her global ambitions paved the way for the opportunity to headline Madrid’s World Pride, place runner-up for Denmark’s Eurovision Song Festival, compete in The Voice in Holland, and, most recently, star in The Bachelor Presents: Listen To Your Heart.
Asked how she knew the career she wanted to build for herself, Natascha replies, “I think it’s not something that you know. It’s something that you do.” With music as just one of her many passions, the last thing she wants is to be boxed in and labeled, identified only by what she happens to be most known for.
“Performance is what I love the most,” says Natscha. Growing up with a Chilean mother and a father of French descent exposed her to different types of music from the day she was born. That developed her love of opera as a kid. She recalls dressing up, belting out, and dancing her heart out on most of those early days. “I enjoyed being watched. I enjoyed expressing.”
This love for performance and expression, along with her natural sanguine personality, led Natascha to all the different creative opportunities that have come her way so far. Through it all, she strives to keep her feet planted firmly on the ground, stay true to herself, and leave a legacy to young girls looking to chart a path on their own terms.

Greg was promptly terminated. His video went on to garner millions of views and counting.
Asked how the video was received, Greg says that “95% of people were supportive.

A year following the incident, Greg says that the experience freed him from a career that, while he was thankful for, never really felt passionate about. He felt law enforcement was “a kind of natural progression” after his time in the military, and he ended up giving the profession a good eight-year run. “But it was never me. So, this forced me to step outside of that and focus on some things that I’m passionate about.”

“I've always been curious about hacking the game of life. I think it's a game. It's a game with highest stakes”
Today, Chase interviews David Wood, a High-Performance Coach and the Founder of Focus.ceo, a company that aims at helping business owners double their revenue by focusing on less. Listen in as David offers strategies and tips on getting super-focused with your work and life. Also, learn how you can overcome the shiny object syndrome and actually get twice as much done of what you care about!
David opens up about the severe life challenges he had in life and how he is still working on overcoming them. It all dates back to when he was seven years old. He lost his younger sister in a traffic accident, watched it happen. It wasn't until he was 23 that he actually began to realize how the incident had traumatized him in unknowing ways. That was when he sought the help of a psychologist.
Recollecting the whole experience of healing, he says, "I went through a whole series of learning how to cry, learning how to communicate, learning how to speak. And I think as I got back in touch with my emotions, I think that one has me so lit up and excited to help other people go into emotional vulnerability. Some of the leadership qualities like revealing and taking emotional risks."
David shares the silent symptoms of depression he had realized he was showing all the while. He says, "My body clenches up and gets really tight, probably because of emotional stuff that still isn't handled." Two compelling avenues that you can try are stillness and movement. It worked for him and would probably do so for you too!
Going ahead, David shares his love for helping people reinvent and change their lives for the better. That's where the whole idea of focus.ceo and coaching, came from for him. David has talked about his nine-point-plan for the samurai program, which he uses to help double people's income and time off over 12 months.
Follow David @_focusceo Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights“I want to see more people come from the action of using love. And again, that's from being proactive. That's finding solutions. That is, you know, listening to people, seeing them, and letting them be heard.”
In this episode, Chase speaks with Ruben Rojas, a Los Angeles-born artist and muralist, about his clothing line and print collection, Live Through Love, his art, and all things love. His mission is to ignite creativity and inspire others to see the world through the lens of love. Ruben is also the author of the book of the same name- Live Through Love.
In this conversation today, Ruben walks us through his journey in life so far, talks about the switches he made in his career, and how he finally decided to start with his current business. He shares that art had always been a significant part of his life- he enjoyed doodling and painting back during his school days. While at college, one of his friends suggested he try real estate investment, and he went on for it. But the business took him to the extent of bankruptcy, and he put an end to it.
Later, he tried his hands on investment and retirement services. That, too, did not go as expected. It took years of testing and switching careers to finally get him to start with what he has always been passionate about- art and the idea of love.
In his own words, "I would say it wasn't that clear. It was like, the I never is running through quicksand. So at first, it was really, can I do this? What does this look like? Can I sustain myself? Can I build a life off of this?"
The benefit Ruben says he's had in everything is he has always been self-employed. So whether it was as a personal trainer or as someone making sales commissions or in real estate, everything was still on him. He has never had a salary and never had to worry about just being comfortable in that space.
Ruben's decision to take on mural gigs and mural projects happened because he wanted to know if he could make money out of that. He wanted to know if that could help him create a business and sustain something while he continued to build.
A valuable takeaway is Ruben's advice on treating yourself with kindness, whether or not your choice in career gives you the anticipated success. "Maybe that wasn't your thing at the moment. And it's just another step to that next thing that actually gets you to where you need to go."

Katelyn Dowling, Ph.D., is the Founder and CEO of Sustainable Self, Inc., which offers coaching and consulting services broadly within the sustainability space. She is also a sought-after speaker who covers a variety of topics from imagination and creativity to the secret superpower of your heart’s electromagnetic field.
Chase and Dr. Dowling discuss his personal experience undergoing The Quantum Clinic, a service offered at Sustainable Self which uses the experimental scalar energy device, the RASHA, to soften the veil between one’s conscious and unconscious world. The goal of the session is to usher a person into a state of oneness, gather unique insights about themselves, and heal—all in ways that can only be achieved upon surrendering to their body’s innate wisdom.
On a macro level, Dr. Dowling calls for humanity to “return to indiginous ways of knowing, being, and relating to oneself and one’s environment.” With the planet collapsing ecologically, she believes that if more people were capable of tapping into those other centers of wisdom within their subconscious, they become more aware and, therefore, more capable of addressing urgent issues around sustainability.
In fact, it was only as recently as last year, in the wake of the pandemic, when Dr. Dowling realized how serious the state of our planet truly is. She was compelled to widen the scope of her profession to encourage the “massive consciousness revolution” that is already taking place around the world.
“My personal mission,” says Dr. Dowling, “and the reason I started Sustainable Self, is to create greater harmony with human, natural, and technological systems. [...] How do we use things like artificial intelligence and data analytics to actually make real changes in the world—not just to develop insights, but to bring about healing?”

A pioneer and trailblazer in his field, Jeff was a key player in bringing medicinal mushrooms to the US market, and has dedicated over 40 years to unlocking its many health benefits.
He studied ethnomycology at the University of Washington in the late 1960s and went to work for Ostrom Mushroom Farms in Olympia, Washington in 1973. Over the next ten years, Jeff worked his way up to Grower and ultimately Production Manager.
In 1983, Jeff co-authored the highly-acclaimed book on small-scale mushroom cultivation, The Mushroom Cultivator. Throughout the 1980s, he operated a mushroom spawn business in British Columbia.
Finally, Jeff founded Nammex in 1989. Contributing to the reputation of the company as a leader in the mushroom industry were Jeff’s numerous trips to China. During his visits, he built valuable relationships while attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms around the country.
Aside from his work at Nammex, Jeff, along with his son Skye, offer a product line of high-grade mushroom supplements at Real Mushrooms.
To Jeff, mushrooms are a forgotten food, or what he calls “the missing dietary link” for many in the West. He encourages everyone to include mushrooms in their diet, in whole or supplement form, to experience their often-overlooked holistic health benefits.

She has been a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the American College of Sports Medicine for decades.
“What I do is help people achieve peak performance from the locker room to the boardroom to the bedroom.” Dr. Kleiner’s world is nutrition and human performance and believes that appearance or body composition should be an athlete’s secondary priority. In fact, she focuses on body composition insofar as it contributes to performance.
“Translating the science of nutrition into food is the particular skill of a good dietician,” says Dr. Kleiner. To this end, she has always taught her clients about food from the get-go so that they think about their daily food intake in terms of the food itself rather than simply counting macros and calories. She is an advocate of what she calls “power eating”, or eating more instead of restricting yourself in order to gain greater energy, train harder, and, if part of your goal, lose fat.
Whether you are an elite athlete or someone who just wants to increase performance in mind and body, listen in as Dr. Kleiner shares her philosophies and ideas around nutrition that can help you reach your fitness goals without having to worry about your diet.

Hollan Hawaii is a cordon bleu trained chef, health advocate, former restaurant owner, and mom of three. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Hollan studied at Le Cordon Bleu before settling in Kauai, Hawaii where she ran the vegan restaurant Caffe Coco until the end of 2017. Today, Hollan writes on all things health and wellness. She recently published the vegan cookbook Good Food Gratitude. The journey toward the vegan lifestyle and stellar health overall wasn’t an easy trek for Hollan. Over a decade ago, just shy of her 30th birthday, she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and was warned that she had a 60% chance of developing type 2 diabetes within the next several years. Holland was also overweight and struggled with endometriosis and kidney stones. Determined to reclaim agency over her young life, Hollan changed her diet, lasting a whole day as a vegetarian before committing wholeheartedly to veganism. The results were immediate. "What I started to realize really quickly was that you can control your health—or at least your body’s health—through food. I literally felt like I could turn disease on and off with what I was eating." One of Hollan’s biggest revelations is that you can “turn disease on and off” depending on what you eat. After going vegan and discovering that her body functions best by adapting to different “seasons of nutrition”, Hollan felt liberated knowing that she was in control of both her physical and mental wellbeing. While she is an advocate for the transformational benefits of the vegan lifestyle, Holland encourages everyone to find the nutrition protocol that works for them. Our bodies don’t need a lot. We just need to give it a little change so our brain can catch up and have some of those ah-hahs. Follow Hollan @hollanhawaii Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights
Nick Shaw is the Founder and CEO of Renaissance Periodization, former competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, and coach to world-class athletes such as CrossFit Games Champions, Olympians, UFC fighters, and Navy SEALs. Nick, along with his wife Lori, co-host the RP Strength Podcast. To many an athlete, or even just the avid gym-goer, the lockdowns presented a ton of challenges to staying in shape. However, both Chase and Nick view these “limitations” from a different perspective. They discuss how having no choice but to be creative with their workouts has forced their bodies to deload. “We always think that more is better,” says Nick, referring to his fellow athletes. “It’s short-term thinking.” A deload allows the body to “catch up” after a build-up of fatigue throughout an intense period of training. Coupled with periodization—well-rounded, systematized training to maximize productivity—more experienced athletes with specific fitness goals will be able to avoid burnout, let their body rest and recover, and maintain their motivation to hit the gym. "Eat enough, sleep enough. Do those two things and your recovery is probably going to be pretty good." Listen in as Chase and Nick go on to discuss best practices for growing as an athlete, with particular emphasis on the often-underestimated factors of nutrition, rest, and, most especially, doing the small monotonous things every day. In Nick’s own words: “Little, gradual improvements over time is the success secret of consistently successful people.” Follow Nick @nick.shaw.rp Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights
"We’re energetic beings, and if you are not paying attention to your energetic body, and just paying attention to your physical body, there will be illness."
Dr. Saman Faramarzi is a naturopathic doctor and Founder of SAFA Life and Wellness. The name of her concierge business doubles as both a portmanteau of her own name, as well as depicting the Farsi word safa, meaning “joy”. Joy, says Dr. Sam, is key to her role as a practitioner of self-healing.
“My responsibility is to meet my patients where they’re at,” says Dr. Sam. “So, my job is to open the door—create that space to go deeper.”
Within the first 15 minutes of a consultation, she asks her patients to share their goals (interestingly, most of her patients wish to “feel lighter”). Many are ready to express themselves openly from the get-go, while others need a little more encouragement to open up. Regardless, for each and every patient, continues Dr. Sam, “we start with the deeper human being questions before we get into the physical symptoms. Then we start the healing.” A human being is an energetic being.
Chase and Dr. Sam go on to share their respective personal experiences dealing with the repression of trauma, and how they have suffered emotionally in the past as a result. One may look physically perfect on the outside, but be deteriorating on the “inside” to the point of experiencing actual outward symptoms. In Chase’s case, those symptoms included panic attacks and, in some cases, blackouts.
Dr. Sam describes her process for helping patients unveil the source of grief and begin the process of healing by tapping into their chakra—the energetic level of being. Dr. Sam encourages all of her patients to commit to the process of healing—of growth—just as she is committed to their journeys. Commitment, she says, makes you immune to obstacles of all sizes and opens your eyes to every opportunity that brings you a step closer to achieving your goals.
“All the power is in the patient,” says Dr. Sam. “I’m only here to give you this information, help you, and work through the obstacles; but it’s your commitment to you.”

How then did Abel James, the man of the show today, get his mind and body dedicated to teaching and practising good health and nutrition? Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews Abel ‘Fat-Burning Man’ James, who is a number one best-selling author, a top-10 app developer, musician, radio talk show host, celebrity coach and entrepreneur. He is also the host of the podcast, ‘The Fat-Burning Man Show’, which is at the top of the charts in many countries around the world.
In the era of exhaustive diets and fitness regimes, listening and understanding what your body really needs can be difficult but not impossible. We need to get rid of the things we do not use and focus on that which needs to be prioritized.
"I need to keto harder" or "I need to diet harder" are only rants to trick or force yourself into doing things to please others.
This is where being like a kid can help. Children enjoy doing things and do it for the fun of the process and learning through it. What's more, they are invisibly rewarded for it later on in their lives. Something which doesn't give you immediate rewards, could have something better in store for your future.
Practise healthy eating. Cutting out completely on the carbs or the proteins could just not go well with your body. Abel stresses the need to replace the term "fruits and vegetables" with "vegetables and fruits". Do you see why he does that? You need to reverse the priority you give to the two!
Focus your energy in the right direction and invest in those that are good for you.
Tune in to the complete episode for some amazing tips on healthy eating, exercise and living a life you love!

When you’re talking of the ever forward times, aren’t you naturally talking possibilities to start or build something new? You have the potential to achieve anything you can dream of, says Hilary De Cesare. All you gotta do is, take it one step forward every day. Grow by just 1 percent everyday and you’ll see what you can muster.
This week, Chase is joined on the show by Hilary De Cesare, who is an executive and transformative Coach, award-winning Entrepreneur, podcast Host of The Silver Lined ReLaunch and a relentless philanthropist. Listen in and learn from her the 7 steps to have a successful relaunch happen for you!
Comparisons are always a threat to the way ahead in your career. It’s natural to get intimidated by fears of slowing down in the race and losing the chance of being the ‘most successful’. But wait, what if I tell you that we have stories of people not being happy after having successfully achieved the feat even? How would you reason their unhappiness?
Your success is your own and so should be your beliefs. Find what you really want in life.
Also, there’s incredible power that attaches to kick-offs. Have you not felt the energy of a positively started morning? You’re energized, fresh and full of life to begin anything good. And so sometimes, all you require is the perfect ‘reset’. Start it afresh. You have the ability to do it anytime!

The woos and wows of Metabolic Flexibility are no longer a secret! Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews former research biochemist and two-times New York times best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat, Robb Wolf. He is also the host of the Healthy Rebellion Radio, a weekly show featuring listener Q and A on all things diet and health, and serves on the board of Directors/Advisors for Specialty Health Inc, The Chickasaw Nation’s “Unconquered Life” initiative and a number of innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability.
Robb simplifies anybody's understanding of fitness and health by discussing everything from individual body responses to quantity of carbs taken to a lot of other essentials like maintaining electrolyte balance in the body and having sound sleep. Tune in for you to also get a peek into Robb's personal life and learn from him his extensive understanding of health and fitness!
Rob broke the dogma around KETO diets and dove deeper into individual metabolic flexibilities, catering to people’s nutrition needs suitably. Apparently Robbs wife has great metabolic flexibility and he understands from her how different it could be for every person as he says his physical self 'sucks' at the same.
The fact that some of us are over-doing our fitness practices is also something to take a look at. There's a lot that needs to be thought of other than the social media pleasing and planning!
Listen in as the duo also discuss rehydration, recovery and the function of different electrolytes in the body. You'd be surprised to know that you are totally unlikely to die because of consuming less amount of water and the fact that over-consuming the same could have a disastrous impact on your body. Also, sodium is one constituent you undervalue and demonize. Why? Because over-consumption of sodium could perhaps spare you from life threatening illnesses. But when the same is done with Potassium, another bodily electrolyte, the implications are costlier than you can imagine!
Rob also has a thing with reading and researching topics other than health and nutrition, like economics and physics. It helps him increase the quality of living and growing as a person. And it would sure help you widen your knowledge levels and perhaps give you some time off of your routine work habits!
To conclude, what this episode translates to is simple- metabolic flexibility is real and it’s high time you break the myths around the ‘perfect’ diet because a happy you is a healthy you!

With the humongous growth of technology and our constant need for a better lifestyle, we’ve failed to consider the dangers that lurk behind. You’d be surprised to know that though 5G provides a faster alternative to crawling data services, it is causing a huge exponential increase to your EMF exposure.

The strength of the EMF around us is a billion times higher than it was years ago. Equally intimidating is the fact that our heart and the brain are most vulnerable to its dangers. Not just humans, other beings are equally affected- do you know that plants do not grow when kept in an area where WiFi or such radiations are present?

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase speaks with Laura Poburan on why her role as a mentor in the health and wellness space is more relevant in 2020 than it has ever been. After all, people around the world have been forced to reevaluate their priorities throughout the last several months.
On nutrition coaching clients, Laura says, “They’re looking for something so much deeper now. They’ve been forced to look at their lives in a new way. They’ve been forced to take account of everything in their life that they aren’t happy about—everything in life that they’re using food to cope with. They’re ready for a deeper transformation. They’re ready to change who they are as people; not just continue to chase the same arbitrary goals year after year after year.”
Laura views nutrition coaching as a vehicle to access different parts of her clients’ lives—to show them that nutrition is just one small aspect, but one that they can use as a foundation for more powerful, holistic change. She calls our eating patterns “the vehicle into our subconscious” which allows us to see where we are falling into disempowering patterns where we are covering up, or numbing, the things in our lives that we are not happy with. Oftentimes, we use food to do just that, if only because food is so accessible.
As the saying goes: A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. This year has placed limiting beliefs on many, or even reinforced limiting beliefs that they already had going into 2020. As much as nutrition coaches may want to swoop in and impose their own beliefs on their clients, they’ll quickly find that this approach will backfire.
Powerful coaches don’t come in to “fix” their clients. Instead, they look to step back and ask questions that raise their clients’ awareness until they are finally ready to receive their lessons. It is only when what you have to say is meaningful to a person that they will act on it.

Today Chase speaks with Chief Special Warfare Operator Thomas Shea, who discusses his new book Three Simple Things: Leading During Chaos. He draws a parallel between success as an author to success in the military—or, really, success in any endeavor. He refers to this common thread as the monotony of “doing a lot of stupid, simple things that nobody else is willing to do” each and every day "The road to success", he says, is “boring”; otherwise, it would not be so elusive to most.
Chase and Thom break the lessons of the book down to the five pillars of health, wealth, relationships, learning, and spirituality. A particular emphasis is put on the spiritual only because it is a rare thing to hear someone in the military discuss this often overlooked dimension of life. In fact, he notes that life begins and ends with the spiritual and refers to our very being as our vessel for making anything that we want to happen, happen.
Thom also spends a considerable amount of time speaking on the paramount importance of relationships and how everything simply falls apart without them. Your physical health, your ability to learn, and your financial situation will suffer when your relationship with someone close to you such as your spouse is in dire straits. Thom mentions that he would even kick out members of his SEAL team if he found out that their spouse was cheating on them. “They would get us killed,” he says about those SEALS experiencing the mental and emotional pitfalls of a damaged relationship.
The theme of the monotony of success continues to run through Thom’s best practices for maximizing your health, wealth, and learning capacities. Progress in these areas requires a commitment from you to do the smallest of action steps every single day; nothing more, nothing less. “If you realize it’s stale,” says Thom, “you’re gonna win.”

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase speaks with Drew Manning on his second iteration of Fit2Fat2Fit. Drew embarked on another Fit2Fat2Fit journey in 2020, nine years after his first run back in 2011. He shares how humbled he was during that first experiment and how it nurtured in him something that motivated him to take on this journey one more time: empathy. “Empathy is something that is lacking in the fitness industry,” he says. “But this world lacks empathy as well.” With all the divisiveness that took place in 2020, Drew thought the time was ripe to relive Fit2Fat2Fit, not just to shine an inspiring light in the midst of all the chaos this year has brought, but also because there are even more opportunities on social media to get eyes on the project now compared to nine years ago. "Sometimes, I think it takes something crazy to catch people’s attention and motivate them in a different and unique way that they haven’t ever experienced before." Drew’s ultimate goal is to bring more empathy to the industry and to society as a whole. He says: “I feel like doing it a second time can really disrupt the industry by showing that it’s more of a mental and emotional journey for people who struggle with weight loss.”

Mindset is essentially who we are. What we think, why we think and how we think define our daily wellbeing. They are of such importance that science and researches are constantly coming up with new information about the way our brain functions. But, what can we do to shift our mindset once we see a negative pattern happening? In which way we can impact and influence our behavior to match the positive life we know we can live? In this episode, Robyn Downs discusses some of the most important actions we can take to start feeling good.
“When you feel good you can do the things that really matter in your life and then impact the world.” – Robyn Downs
You will also learn about habit changing and the reasons why is easier to change ourselves than to expect different outcomes, how you can set goals for the next year in a more sustainable and attainable way (that actually works), and what are the 3 non-changing brain patterns that we need to be aware of in order to uncomplicate life and instigate success. Our ways of thinking end up being just little pieces that we, as rational individuals, must gather to solve the whole puzzle.

2020 year-in-review... relationship style! My wife and I look back at lessons learned over the past twelve months. See, for us, 2020 began as a year with a ton of potential, until about mid-February when practically the whole world came to a grinding halt. Career-wise, we continued to work towards a ton of growth, especially May who finally graduated this year to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. What was highlighted for us above all, though, is how our relationship was tempered by the challenges and uncertainties and came out stronger than ever in spite of it all. Join us as we do a deep dive into the life-changing benefits of what a great support system feels like and why you need to nurture yours today.
Listen in as we share how optimism and a willingness to pivot helped us thrive the past year, the power of having a tight network of family and peers to guide us through tough times, and our plea for others to engage with their community more going into 2021.

It’s no secret that 2020 has, almost overnight, unleashed a trove of challenges that spared no one. We’ve all had to adapt every single aspect of our lives to deal with these challenges all year long. Jill has a refreshing take on thriving amid all the uncertainties 2020 has brought—a take defined by a boundless energy to live every day as if it were the last, childlike optimism for what lies ahead, and a hunger for opportunities to inject fun and adventure into all that she does.
Listen in as Jill shares the power of stepping back and looking at the bigger picture to set better goals, how to discover the foods that your body thrives on, why the best time to get a “beach ready” physique is anytime, how to break down your long-term goals into bite-sized action steps, what kiteboarding has taught her about effective goal-setting, how thinking like a child again can open up an entirely new and fulfilling dimension in life, and why contemplating death every day helps her live a fuller life.

In this episode I had the honor of speaking with Shawn Stevenson, creator and host of The Model Health Show, which was featured as the number one health podcast in the United States with millions of listener downloads each year. With the myriad of challenges we’ve all faced this year thanks to COVID-19, there’s a greater need than ever before to return to the basics of health and wellness, particularly regarding what we eat on a day-to-day basis. We discuss how food affects so many different areas of our lives. Beyond metabolism, food affects our relationships, our ability to communicate, how we perform in our professional environments, and other facets of life that we normally don’t even connect to food. In short, we have a conversation on the most fundamental must-knows that we can use to truly take our health back.
Listen in as Shawn shares how eating the right foods can totally transform your body and mind, why he considers sleep as the most important factor to one’s health (even above nutrition and exercise), common nutrition myths, why you need to pay more attention to your gut health if you want to burn more body fat, why it’s time to cease the “war on fat”, and what most people fail to see when it comes to maximizing your health and wellness amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Facing problems in life is part of being a human. Finding purpose out of these problems requires much more perspective and attitude. Overcoming obstacles is not always easy but is doable, but what could we possibly think when these obstacles never seem to be over? In this episode, Sam Tooley shares some special and honest stories of his past and how he was able to channel bad experiences into action and transformation.
Losing someone we love, dealing with depression or anxiety, not knowing what path to follow… These are all barriers that life throws at us. When something similar happens, we have a choice: we could give up, surrender, and go down the rabbit hole. Or we could accept it, believe that this event happened for a reason, and in the end, rise stronger and more resilient.

More about Trent:
"Trent had a successful career in finance, I was an investment banker doing mergers and acquisitions for consumer companies for a while, and then spent several years at a big hedge fund managing a portfolio, as an equity investor. It was exciting and fun, and I learned a lot.
Then when I was switching funds and I had to sit out my non-compete clause, I started getting involved in some entrepreneurial stuff and one thing led to another. One of the ideas I had was Forme, and I started to get really excited about it, and it got to the point where it became the only thing I was doing.
I moved back to California, which is where I was raised. I spent time in San Francisco, which is where a lot of our engineers are, and in LA, which is where all of our business and content and marketing is based.
It’s a super exciting time to now be public with it after four years and I’m excited for consumers to be able to experience what we’ve created."

The story of Paleovalley is a love story. Autumn and Chas Smith, co-founders, met in 2007, fell in love, and married on the magical Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, CA.This year they were blessed with an amazing baby boy, Maverick.
Autumn suffered acute digestive issues since she was a teenager and numerous experts failed to offer solutions that worked. Very concerned, Chas took matters into his own hands. His extensive research led him to the paleo diet.
Together they implemented its principles for 30 days (eliminated refined foods, shopped at local farmers’ market, ate fresh organic fruits and vegetables, grass fed meats and wild seafood) and by the end, Autumn's IBS was completely resolved. Autumn was so inspired that she quit her job as a personal trainer at the Tracy Anderson Method, and earned a master’s degree in holistic nutrition.
Though they originally focused on disseminating information, they soon realized that there simply weren’t many truly healthy food products on the market. Many products claimed and even appeared to be to be healthy, using all the buzzwords such as gluten free, soy free, dairy free, natural and more but they were also nutrient free; free of the minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants that promote thriving health.
Realizing that they had an important job to do, Autumn and Chas joined forces with Chas' brother Matt and a good friend, Matthew, and launched Paleovalley with the belief that everything you eat and every added ingredient is an opportunity to either detract from your health or improve it.
Their mission is to create products that live up to their own strict standards and always prioritize health over profit. Paleovalley creates products with integrity that are free from problematic ingredients and teeming with ingredients that promote vibrant health.
They strive to inspire people to view every dietary choices for what it really is: a profound opportunity to love and care for oneself. Paleovalley products are a labor of love, and their only hope is that they help your family feel as vibrant as theirs.
Stay tuned. Eat Well. Live Vibrant.

More about Jen:
As a self-proclaimed “mover”, Jen has spent more than 2/3 of her life upside down. She graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology, and received her DPT degree from Loma Linda University. After schooling, she went on to accept a job at VERT Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation in Santa Monica.
Through VERT and furthering her education, she was able to meet some amazing individuals who further fueled the expansion of her knowledge base. She studied the Myodetox methodology directly under co-founder, Vinh Pham, took a RockTape course with The Movement Maestro herself, and learned from so many other brilliant minds in the rehab game.
Nowadays, she offers private sports therapy, online programs, workshops and speaks at global engagements, attracting audiences from stay-at-home moms to Hollywood actors and Olympic athletes. Her mission is to help those who are willing to listen to their body, reverse aging, eliminate pain and establish sustainable health.
Identity. One word that we all can relate to and we all, at least at some time, have struggled with or will. Nowadays we all may be finding ourselves wearing a mask in public but perhaps we already were wearing another one. Is it really that difficult for us to grasp our own reality, to come to terms with how we see ourselves and how we think others perceive us to be? In this episode, Chase and May discuss how throughout various seasons of life our truth can come under question and how we can take actionable steps today to consciously choose not only how we define our identity but bring that into alignment with others' perception of us as well.

This very special episode is meant to highlight what is possible when we stop accepting our circumstances as ultimatums. Casey Adams, fellow Virginian, is an incredible example of what is possible when you decide to take your life and your future into your own hands by putting yourself on the path of personal development and saying "Yes!" to opportunities that others may not think twice about.
While he was a sophomore in high school something happened that would change the direction of his life forever. He was diagnosed with interspinous ligament damage while playing football and was told that he could have potentially been paralyzed. During this time in his life he was told by the doctors that he would never be able to play football again. This was shocking news because football was his absolute passion. Furthermore, he was told that he had to be in a neck brace for over 10 weeks.
All of this negativity came into his life so quickly and he became very depressed and had no idea how to handle the situation. This was the turning point in his life that changed the direction of his future.

In today's episode of the show I and my wife, May, RN BSN, discuss one of the pillars of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition's model of healthful living, primary foods. Primary foods, such as physical activity, career, spirituality, and relationships are "foods" that feed our soul and satisfy our hunger for life. There are twelve primary foods that are constantly fluctuating and adjusting as we adjust through the various phases of our lives.
These foods include: joy, spirituality, creativity, finances, career, education, health, physical activity, home cooking, home environment, relationships, and social life. As we navigate through our health journey and coach our clients and patients through their own individualized processes, we may notice these concepts ebb and flow, which is not only normal, but healthy!
In this episode we hone in on some of the more difficult to grasp concepts: joy, creativity, and home environment and provide examples and methods of ways to activate these practices into our everyday lives. As we continue on this podcast (and our own journeys) we will dig in deeper to this concept of primary food and unveil its importance on our quality of life.

Life transitions can be difficult, stressful, and even overwhelming. In my experience, none were more trying than my transition from civilian to soldier back to civilian again. And I am not the only one. Military transition continues to be one of the biggest hardships service members go through - and many have been in combat!
There is good news though, there are in fact people and services we can utilize to help guide us through these transitions, people who have done it themselves and have your best interest at heart. As a former Staff Sergeant in the United Sates Army, active duty 2003-2009, I hear my fellow soldiers struggling the same way now, years later, that I did over ten years ago. This must stop. We have the responsibility to connect with them and keep moving forward in life and on to the next mission.
True leadership does not start or stop when military service does, true leadership is a lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Ryan trained with the U.S. Paralympic team while holding a 2nd degree black belt in Kendo.
With degrees in neuroscience and chemistry and economics, they challenged both their minds as well as their bodies. They set out to live life to the fullest. But in the search for a product that would keep them going, they realized that there wasn't anything that would help them accomplish more in a healthy and effective way.
They didn't want to take mysterious supplements or energy drinks when studying, training, or going out. Instead of something sugary and ineffective, they wanted clean, balanced energy... something that could be taken anywhere, anytime. So they launched a campaign for better energy... and they realized it wasn’t just them.

Sit back and buckle up because this episode is going to blow your mind! Matt Maruca, founder of The Light Diet and Ra Optics, spent years of his early childhood and adulthood chasing wellness only to be stuck spinning his wheels. So he set out to learn how to improve his health at the cellular level in hopes to rebuild his life from the inside out.
Matt learned that all modern chronic diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer’s, obesity, diabetes, autism, autoimmune diseases, and even depression are mitochondrial diseases, meaning that certain tissues’ mitochondria are severely damaged in those diseases, and that his issues were mitochondrial, too.
He learned that mitochondria are “electromagnetic” in nature, meaning that how they process our food and make energy is controlled by light. This explained why diet alone was not enough to actually cure his symptoms. It further clarified to me how so many people struggle with diet and exercise as their only strategies for health, and why focusing on diet, exercise, and supplements alone to improve health is like focusing only on the gas when trying to fix a car with a broken engine. He earned that more energetic light frequencies, especially blue light, exert the strongest effect on our body clock, and the less energetic frequencies such as red light have a comparatively minimal effect. He learned that getting UV light from the sun through our eye is critical to creating melatonin, before it can even be secreted in the hours after the sun sets. So, he began going outside in sunlight during the day to make melatonin, and wearing blue light blocking safety goggles at night to allow his melatonin to be secreted and his not looked back since!Follow Matt @thelightdiet

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five U.S. adults will experience mental illness in their lifetime, and most end up paying more for treatment than they would for physical health conditions. While this is an alarming truth, family Doctor William Sears and neurologist Vincent F. Fortanasce - have positive news: it’s possible to treat and even prevent the onset of mental illness with the right medication or even WITHOUT medication at all, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.
In their groundbreaking new book, The Healthy Brain Book, Sears and Fortanasce team up to bring readers an all-ages guide to having a calmer, happier, sharper brain, whether experiencing “normal” mental and emotional burnout or wrestling with diagnosed illness.

David is a coach specializing in using genetics and epigenetics to dial in personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies for creative professionals; however, his background originally was in music and electronic music production. After experiencing some unusual health challenges in his mid-20s while touring as an artist he was forced to find answers on his own. Now he is focused on helping high performers to improve their overall resilience, focus, and mental functioning to help them avoid the problems he went through and move towards the opposite of burnout.
"The field of nutrigenetics is still in its early days, and a great deal more is to be learned, but experts agree: Though evidence will continue to evolve over the next decade, we have enough good evidence to make it useful now."

In 2006 Sharon Brown a mother at her wit’s end. She had a six-year old son who had been on and off antibiotics since birth, suffering from chronic sinus infections, ear infections, and respiratory infections. After a particularly upsetting meeting with his first grade teacher, who was recommending ADD medication – on top of everything else – Sharon knew there had to be another way.
She began searching for alternative solutions, but information was hard to come by – this was before you could find the answer to everything online. Finally, she came across the concept that bone broth could help strengthen the gut lining, and, therefore, support the immune system. After three months her son had not needed antibiotics once. Six months went by. Then nine. Then a year. Blake hadn’t gone to the doctor’s office once. They knew we were on to something!

You need time to figure out what comes next, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Or maybe you don’t even have a framework to figure out what the right goals are for you.

Kelsea Koenreich has "it all"; a loving husband, beautiful children, and a thriving business. But her road to the American dream as a white female was paved with multiple arrests and substance abuse, though her treatment as a criminal will astound you in comparison to what many other minorities encounter when processed for the same or even lesser crimes (sometimes not even have committed any crime but being judged by the color of their skin). Kelsea's story will shock you but more so it shines a light on the radical reformation to our law enforcement, social, and judicial systems desperately needed in America today.
Kelsea is a lifestyle mentor with a multifaceted approach to her craft, her focus lies in helping them to find their strength and empowering them with tools for both the physical and mental benefit. This approach ensures a mental, emotional and physical transformation.

Look up the word 'resilient' and you will find a picture of Dr. Saman Bakhtiar, DC. After fleeing war-torn Iran in the 1980's as a small child with his mother he was thrown into the school of hard knocks. Once he flipped the switch and decided he was in charge of his future and not his circumstances he built an empire. Then lost it. Then built it again, and he has not stopped succeeding, giving, and leading now even during a global pandemic and his national franchise of gyms are shut down.
We discuss how he used resiliency, purpose, and the ‘time vs money’ dilemma to build then rebuild his business from scratch. In addition, he conveys the vital role mindfulness played in achieving his successes.
Sam Bakhtiar is a doctor of chiropractic, CEO of The Camp fitness centers, author, world-class bodybuilder, and multi-millionaire entrepreneur.

Humans are social beings. The relationships that we create allow us to grow individually. However, building a long-term relationship with someone, be it romantic or not, inevitably comes with obstacles and challenges. When do we push for it to work, and when do we accept that it is not for us?
In today's episode, relationship expert Fiachara 'Figs' O'Sullivan joins us to discuss the basics of relationship building therapy. He explains how personal development is deeply connected to how we act in our relationship with other people. We also talk about the ways we can make our relationships work through practicing empathy.
If you've been looking for a sign on how to manage your relationships, then this episode will be insightful for you. Tune in to this podcast and start creating better relationships with yourself and your loved ones!
5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode“People's worst fights, people's biggest disconnection, (and) ongoing repetitive arguments are actually evidence of just how important they are to each other, not evidence that there's something fundamentally wrong with us.”
“Are we coming to the end of this relationship? Or is this another growth opportunity?”
“If you really love each other, you're going to get to a place where you scare each other.”
“At the end of the day, it's not a sustainable way for the course of an entire lifetime to be beating ourselves up so that we perform our maximum capacity.”
On living a life Ever Forward: “What it means to me is to continue to be honest with myself, be curious about myself, look inside, find what the real vulnerability is underneath whatever actions I'm taking, and then be willing and brave and courageous enough to share that vulnerability with the world.”
About the GuestFigs O'Sullivan is a certified emotionally focused couples therapist and counselor. He is the founder of Empathi.com, which is an engaging online relationship coaching program for couples. As a relationship expert, he acts as a “reflector” during therapy processes to help clients access their inner healing and solutions.

For decades John Voris has studied and read ancient and modern philosophers as well as a wide range of psychology and metaphysical writings both eastern and western. He wanted to know why some people succeeded and others failed at certain career paths even though they had the same education and background and intelligence.
He put together a program based on his own observations and supported by his studies, his own wisdom and the intelligence of hundreds of philosophers and psychologists throughout the centuries. This approach has led to new insights by connecting old ideas together then giving them a personal application.
By tapping into all this esoteric knowledge John Voris is able to identify several hidden aspects to your being. When you understand and leverage your authentic nature you can express yourself freely and open yourself to your true motivations and desire creating more energy and well-being in your life.

Joining the military is perhaps one of the most personal and deeply committed decisions one can make in the United States, so when Austen Alexander enlisted in the Navy he knew exactly where his life was about to take him. Well, almost. Along the way he became a YouTuber but realized he was doing his content and his audience a disservice by trying to take the shortcuts. Once he ditched the "easy way" he surpassed tens of millions of views and has plans of transitioning out of the Navy this year and becoming a full-time content creator.

I will not pretend to be a huge Lakers or Kobe Bryant fan, but I can tell you with absolute certainty I am a die hard supporter of others who pursue their fullest potential. Those that settle for nothing less than greatness in all that they do. Kobe Bryant's recent passing was a travesty, but the greater loss would be for us to not pick up right where he left off. This episode is in honor of him and every other loved one we have lost too soon. Ever Forward.

One foot in front of the other. One rep more. One intentional meal. These small things may not seem like much in the moment they compound into monumental changes in our healthy behaviors. But how can we realistically measure progress along the way? How can we know what success looks and feels like? It is not always the number on the scale or the weight on the barbell, and that is what strength and conditioning expert Josh Cuthbert drives home to his clients whether they are stay-at-home parents, CEO's, or professional athletes.

What happens when you are in a relationship and your ritual of going to the gym doesn't make sense to the other person? How can we effectively communicate to our significant other what is important to us and why? Compromise in relationships are a must, but should you have to sacrifice your own health and fitness just because it is not as important to the other person? All these questions and more we explore in the January 2020 relationship health episode.

It's 2020, and while in many ways life has become easier it has also become polluted with distractions from our true purpose. Whether it is as grand as working our way to the top of the corporate ladder or simply trying to focus on the one small task in front of us as part of our daily living. Nir Eyal, author of Indistractable, writes, consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. Sir shares with us realistic ways to overcome some of life's biggest distractions so we can work towards the life we truly want and deserve.

We all can agree that, when it comes to improving our health and fitness we have to put in the reps. Usually that means in the gym. But... what about our spiritual health? How can we go deeper on the parts of our progress in the gym and in life that we can't quite put a finger on as to why things are working so well (or not)? Sal Di Stefano and Adam Schafer of Mind Pump and Josiah Novak of True Transformation and I begin discussing what we believe it means to be authentic and our interpretation of masculinity but quickly find ourselves talking about religion, spirituality and even the "woo".

Over one million downloads and hundreds of episodes later, I finally feel like I know what I'm doing! Successfully launching a podcast can feel overwhelming; which microphone to use, what to talk about, how to edit, how to post it online, growing an audience, and even how to monetize your podcast. The guys at Mind Pump put out an incredible episode covering four key concepts that I expand upon here; be an expert and provide value, be authentic and vulnerable, be consistent, and encourage community.

The word toxic may have been popularized by Britney Spears or System of a Down but its science has been broken down by Dr. Ann Shippy! In today's episode, we discuss the seemingly safe everyday items in our home that may be making us sick, causing poor sleep, creating hormone imbalances, causing headaches or simply keeping us from our optimal wellness. But here is the most powerful takeaway - we can radically change this for the better by simply choosing where and how we spend our money. The concept of voting with your dollars applies especially to what you put into your body, where you rest your head, and how you can let leading industries know that you demand better from them.
Dr. Shippy is a board certified in internal medicine, certified in functional medicine whose life purpose is working with science, clinical data, and research to provide you with the knowledge and tools to achieve optimal health. The science and research that directly relates our environment and nutrition to health prompted Dr. Shippy to found two health-based foundations. Her hope is to contribute to and inspire a positive movement towards solving some of the more complex health challenges we face today – and to help create a world where everyone has the opportunity for wellness.

As said many times on the show before, there is no greater coach than our own bodies - IF we take pause and actually listen to it. Sam Davis was forced to radically overhaul her life, her training and nutrition once she began to pay attention to the cries for help her body was giving her. Narrowing down to severe adrenal fatigue, thyroid problems and overall hormonal imbalance Sam put the barbell down in order to take back her health, a process that took her the better part of a year. Through the exquisite care of a medical provider that opened her eyes to the world of natural supplements and careful nutritional changes Sam has reclaimed her wellness and identity.

"Where the mind goes the body will follow" is a phrase often said around here, but probably no guest to date has embodied it as much as Laura Micetich. Over 300 pounds at one point in her life, Laura realized that she wanted more out of her existence because she realized she was just merely existing. She was settling on someone else's definition of what was possible, so she picked up some weights and hasn't looked back since.

The average human life span does not, unfortunately, correlate to the average health span. Living a life full of wellness and fulfillment is totally possible but it takes time and awareness about what we eat, how we move, our sleep, the quality of our relationships and other key biohacks that Zach Mobius highlights in this valuable episode. Zach shares tangible steps to increase productivity in your daily life and your business.
After literally dying and coming back to life as a child, Zach has made it his life's mission to squeeze every ounce of possibility of today and prepare for a better tomorrow. He believes that "You can do anything through hard work, intelligent strategy, and perfect practice!"

Pivot your perspective and change your life. Many of us run on an endless string of vague goals, should-haves, and "tomorrows", with true, empowering change always just out of reach. Many of us feel stuck in a pattern or are unknowingly trapped in our day-to-day routine, without the proper tools to break the mold and live our best lives every single day. David Nurse, a renowned optimization and life coach of more than 100 NBA players and CEOs, knows it doesn't have to be that way, and a powerful shift in perspective is the answer.

Celebrity manual therapist and movement coach Aaron Alexander joins us again to teach how posture and body alignment are powerful tools for building strength, achieving peak performance, reducing pain, and approaching the world with a new sense of confidence.
Good posture is about more than standing up straight: It can change your mood, alleviate pain, rid your body of stressful tension, and may be the difference between getting that raise you've wanted and attracting your ideal mate, or not. But in order to reap all those benefits, the body must be properly integrated. Aaron offers a revolutionary approach to body alignment to build strength, reduce pain, and put you on a direct path to peak performance that is both fun and accessible.
The Align Method centers on five daily optimizations that can be easily integrated into any workout, mindfulness practice, or daily life activity:
A truly aligned life isn't limited to sweating in a gym or stretching in a yoga studio, and Aaron provides the fundamental principles to optimize your physical and mental process in any situation. Blending Eastern philosophy with Western mechanics, The Align Method brilliantly outlines the necessary tools to leverage the power of your own senses and body language to feel more flexible and confident, and details exactly how to reshape your environment for enhanced creativity and longevity. This is the quintessential user's manual to feeling better than you ever thought possible, and looking great while you're at it!

We now know that about 80% of our immune system is made up in our gut. So to improve a vast majority of our overall wellness we really need to be focusing on our microbiome.
As an attorney, Tina Anderson also worked in the pharmaceutical field for 15 years. Together with their family, they had built thriving careers. But, while successful, their careers were not feeding their passion of natural health and well-being.
During their quest, they discovered how incredibly important gut health is to overall health, and they discovered that an imbalance in the gut leads to the majority of diseases and illness out there. Tina and Billy also learned that, in order to rebalance your gut, you need to take a daily probiotic that actually works, meaning the friendly bacteria (probiotics) win out the every day battle over the bad bacteria.

"What can stop me? TIME and ENERGY!... the worst thing that you can do is lie to YOU!" Powerful words from today's guest Johnny Wimbrey, author and motivational speaker. Johnny and I briefly discussed the recent loss of his father, his hero, and how the commonality in our story has helped solidify our character and our purpose.

Depression. Anxiety. PTSD. Seasonal affective disorder. Sadness. Happiness. We all have mental health, some people have mental illness. There is a difference between the two but it can often get lumped into the same category. We believe that, as part of our entire wellbeing, we need to bring more attention to improving our mental health. We need to learn how to help our loved ones that may be suffering from mental illness. But overall, as part of living a life ever forward, we need bring awareness to how we perceive our mindset, its contribution to our wellness and possible indicators that it is not well.

David Tomen is an expert in the world of nootropics. After suffering from career-threatening and life-altering ADHD and other health concerns he decided to not have to rely solely on prescription medication for the rest of his life. Nootropics are a very special and very powerful group of natural substances found in nature, such as medicinal mushrooms, roots, herbs, adaptogens, etc. that are the key to unlocking unique parts of our brain.
Nootropics have been used for thousands of years and studied by modern science to prove their ability to enhance mood, improve memory, strengthen our focus power and even some have been proven to help create new neural pathways and strengthen the myelination around our brain cells and neurons to help thwart against such diseases as Alzheimer's, dementia, ADD, ADHD, and other neurological conditions.

"Socks with benefits." The driving force behind what makes Comrad Socks so helpful and so successful. Founder Andrew Ferenci discovered the life-changing benefits of compression socks and set out to create a company to revolutionize the functionality (and fashion) of this health and fitness secret weapon.
Here are just some of the incredible benefits of these companions... Wearing compression socks during any length of flight helps keep your blood circulating. Not only will this help you combat jet-lag and fatigue, but studies show this reduces serious health risks such as blood clots. Comrad works by applying graduated pressure to your lower legs, which pumps your blood and oxygen around that area and to your heart so you can fly safely.
Compression socks also increase blood circulation, which energizes and relieves swollen, achy and fatigued legs and feet. Whether you are running a marathon or just running out the door to catch the bus, you’ll feel better and recover faster with Comrad.

"NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO BE AN AMATEUR IN THE MATTER OF PHYSICAL TRAINING. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." -Socrates
That is the quote on Kenny Santucci's home page and very much the crux of our conversation in this special bonus episode, Coffee Talk. In the comfort of a cafe close to his apartment in NYC, Kenny and I sat down over a cup of coffee, STRONG COFFEE of course, and shared origin stories of physical training, why it matters more than just competing in CrossFit or for a reality TV show, and how to see the beauty and strength of which these bodies are truly capable.
Kenny is an actor, perhaps most widely known for his recurring appearances on MTV's "The Challenge" game show and avid CrossFitter. "Mr. Beautiful" believes "it is about working to be the best version of you right now, so when you feel great and look great you will treat you and others great."

In my wellness journey, specifically during the last several years, I have looked more inward for change than strictly external training. Lo Bondi has helped with that internal work and allowed me to better identify and work through past traumas in my "sacred container", as she calls it, to create the healing and re-patterning process necessary.
Lo's psychology background provides her the scope of practice but it is her personal physical and emotional traumas that give her the anecdotal experience to relate to her audience and clients in a profound way. A survivor in the truest sense, Lo's continued self-work makes her a lighthouse of what is possible when we decide to face the good, the bad, and the ugly in our lives on our wellness journey.

We are bombarded with fad diets and bio hacks that promise to be the latest and greatest methods to improve our wellness, lose weight, gain muscle and everything in between. But humans, as a species, have survived and evolved for thousands and thousands of years off of basic principles in our eating habits and circadian rhythm.
Former research biochemist and 2x New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Robb Wolf helps us better understand the then and the now, the "Old vs New Testament" if you will, of best practices when it comes to both evidence-based and anecdotal nutrition and sleep health.

Welcome to the first episode in a mini-series from the Spartan World Championships 2019 from the beautiful Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe, CA! Ever Forward Radio was present and in full force engaging with athletes, weekend warriors, and everyone in between during this multi-day event in September, 2019.
While thousands were making their way through the obstacle courses, host Chase Chewning sat down with experts and leaders in human performance, nutrition, recovery, technology, psychology and so much more for these powerfully informative podcasts.
First up is CEO and Founder of WHOOP, Will Ahmed. Will became inspired by a simple idea: Humans, especially athletes, could optimize their daily performance. Optimizing performance was not a random sequence of events and decisions, but rather a systematic approach to understanding your body. His mission at WHOOP is to unlock human performance. When you choose to partner with their tools they will do everything they can to help you find your inner potential.

Brad Jensen's passion for the fitness industry has been ingrained into his life since he was 14 years old. The minute he picked up his first fitness and nutrition magazine he knew that it was what he was born to do. He became NASM and ACE certified so he could understand all parts of fitness and nutrition. He wanted to absorb as much as he could to feel his best and also share his passion with others.
This passion lifted him from his darkest times and helped him overcome years of addiction, which resulted in his sobriety. Fitness isn’t just about physical appearance. Fitness is a lifestyle that is constantly evolving. With that newfound mindset, Brad opened the doors to Key Nutrition in March 2017 and he has never looked back.

"Change your nutrition, change your life." Adjusting your diet can do much more than just tip the scale in your favor, for some it can literally change your entire well-being. This was the case for Johnny and Bethany Gonzalez once they took a look at their diet in comparison to their physical symptoms of allergies, auto-immune issues, and total body inflammation. Basically - how they felt entirely! The keto diet and eventually adopting a whole foods focused and sugar-free diet has helped them not only look their best but feel years younger in ways they never thought possible!
Although you may not see it now, in the past, Johnny and Bethany of Top Notch Nutrition both struggled with very serious health issues. Bethany suffered from a debilitating auto-immune disease that crippled her in more ways than one. A victim of Guillain Barre Syndrome, a disease that caused her to have no motor or sensory function in her lower legs, preventing her from walking without assistance. This was accompanied by a multitude of other life-altering symptoms, including chronic nerve pain, poor sleep, poor diet and an unhealthy relationship with food.
As for Johnny, he had some of the worst allergies his doctor had ever seen (both environmental & food), along with SIBO, Candida overgrowth, unexplainable throat and mouth ulcers, etc. Along with their commitment to each other, they made the commitment to doing everything they could to improve their overall health. After spending thousands and thousands (and more thousands!) of dollars on traditional medicine and treatments, they realized they needed to take a different route. They needed to heal themselves naturally, through diet, supplementation and faith.

What happens when we are told we can't have something? We want it more, right? Or perhaps we dwell on how things are going to be more difficult or how restrictive our life is going to be? What if we took that same decision-making power and only focused on what we could have and could control in our life and could create around new parameters? That is exactly what Krishna Kaliannan did shortly after being diagnosed as a type-1 diabetic and epileptic in the same doctor's visit.
As a kid, Krishna ate chocolate puffs every day for breakfast & loved them! Unfortunately, when he turned 17, he was diagnosed with T1 diabetes, and epilepsy. He still wanted a cereal that would satisfy his chocolate craving but didn’t have all that sugar and empty carbs. So he made his own and founded Catalina Crunch - an incredible line of cereals that are keto friendly, gluten free, grain free, 100% vegan, non-gmo, and 0% sugar that are great-tasting and great-for-you.

For many of us, we began dieting at a young age and perhaps were not even fully aware of it. That was the case for Frankie Gonyea at the age of only 8 years old. Extreme training and dieting methods were the norm due to his chosen path as an athlete, but those habits stayed with him long after the season ended. Unable to even look at himself in the mirror, Frankie spiraled into a depression and a myriad of other unhealthy habits before finally coming face to face with those diet demons.

Most people think mental toughness when they imagine a Navy SEAL. What they don’t expect is the thoughtful, yoga-innovating, joking and laughing, professor of leadership named Mark Divine.
Grown up in upstate New York, a degree in economics and an MBA from NYU. He’d prepared for life as a high powered CPA… and then left his high paying finance career for the adventurous life of a Navy SEAL officer. Now he’s once again sought after by those same corporations and institutions, as a trainer of the mental toughness and the whole person training that shaped, and healed him.
Through Mark’s teaching, entrepreneurial endeavors and travel to foreign countries, he noticed the power of mental toughness, emotional resilience, intuitive leadership and a healthy spirit for anyone wanting breakthrough performance. They weren’t solely for combat or restricted to the business world or one culture. He’d watch them transform lives in people from every background, nation and belief system. So he wrote and self-published his first book, Unbeatable Mind, in 2011 and launched its at-home study program, followed by The Way of the Seal.

Welcome to the April bonus episode with Chase's wife, May. May is a RN, BSN and FNP student at the University of Southern California. Her journey in the medical field was not an easy one, a path that zigged many times when she thought it was going to zag. But, the moral of the story is she learned how to shift her mindset when it came to her passion for her career. Chase also shares how his profession in the health and wellness industry was wrought with a series of significant changes that ultimately landed him creating his own destiny.
This conversation stemmed from May's most recent blog post, "The Career Dilemma", that we have shared a preview of here:
The catch is, you have to have passion, but that doesn’t mean that you have to be in love with what you do. Passion is a feeling of enthusiasm or desire for someone or something. It is an eager interest in an idea or a cause. Passion in a verb. Love, on the other hand, is an intense emotion or deep affection. Love is a noun. Passion is about being the very best version of yourself and pouring everything that you are and everything you do, into what you believe and that goes for your career as well.

The seed of addiction is rooted in all humans. Our reptilian brain constantly seeks safety and comfort while simultaneously avoiding pain and discomfort. Unfortunately, we are not able to always interject and take over our own behaviors, thoughts, or habits. Eating disorders, disordered eating, and every undesired eating habit in between is no different. Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is not only a veteran psychologist and subject matter expert but a bing eater in recovery himself.
Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston 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 lighthearted relationship with food.

Shifting our mindset is often the most difficult part of our wellness journey. Kendall Strampell quickly realized this while she was working multiple fast-food jobs, attending college for fitness and nutrition, beginning her online personal trainer business all the while fighting her own disordered eating habits.
Despite all of the hard work with her exercise and nutrition she suffered from a negative mindset, ultimately manifesting as anorexia and orthorexia behaviors. Unwilling to accept this as the life she wanted to build for herself, she took to Instagram to make a change. A change for her own health and wellness but more importantly to change the way other young women used social media by creating a community to serve them and improve the mindset of thousands.

Has anyone noticed the trend every. single. year. When everyone, everywhere is talking about what a terrible year 20-whatever was and how they can’t wait for it to be over? The sarcastic memes of “leaving 2018 in the trash with your ex…” seem to be flooding our Instagram feeds, and quite frankly, it’s getting repetitive.
Let’s try something new this year. Instead of falling into the mundane and overly illustrated attitude of the “woe is me, thank goodness this is over” paradigm, let’s take a minute to reflect on lessons learned from the previous year. Let’s honor our growing pains and formulate fresh and empowering ways in which we can improve ourselves moving forward.

When you think of the five people you are around the most, do you also think of five character traits that you hope others use to describe you? Chase and his wife May explore this concept as it has applied to their lives and the lessons learned from taking inventory of the people around them (and influencing them) the most.
Example from May's original blog: "But the 5 people you surround yourself with the most, that is 100% up to you, so choose wisely. Save a space in your heart for those who aren’t at the same place you are at right now. I’m not saying cut people out. I’m not saying completely lose touch and abandon all hope. I am simply suggesting (from my own experience) that as we get older our time is very limited. Life gets hectic, our priorities change, and time tends to run out when we need it the most. So take the very little time you do have to invest in relationships that are worthwhile and meaningful." Her blog can be found here at MayYazdi.com

What does it mean to evolve as a human being? How do we get out of our comfort zone and truly move the needle in areas such as our health, fitness, personal relationships, or even business? Emily Hayden, an IFBB Bikini Pro and fitness social media influencer, believes it starts with a shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance.
In this episode, Emily and I discuss briefly her painful upbringing in a house with a mentally ill mother. She suffered emotional and even physical abuse, a life that ultimately led her down a path of sleeping in her car and struggling to find her purpose. By accepting her path and choosing to evolve it, Emily has been able to empower countless others through her content and "Evolve with Emily" coaching services.

Adam Von Rothfelder began thinking about fitness early in life. Like many young boys, he became obsessed with superheroes and professional wrestlers because of their larger than life physiques. Unlike many young boys, Adam turned this initial intrigue of pushing the human body to its limits into becoming one of the world’s most revered personal trainers. Adam has channeled that same passion for physical performance into one of the best-tasting recovery supplements and cups of coffee we have found! He is the founder of Strong Coffee Company, a healthy, done-for-you premixed powder that includes instant organic coffee, grass-fed collagen protein, and MCT oil powder to fuel your mind and body for hours so you can spend more time and energy on the important things in life.

Strong Coffee is brand for people who aspire to reach their potential. This ethos is so heavily entrenched in our DNA that it’s even in our name. S.T.R.O.N.G. is actually an acronym: Striving To Reach Our Natural Greatness. Third wave coffee, often thought to require excessive amounts of time, labor, and gadgets to perfect, is the movement to make the world’s second largest commodity (behind only oil) a high quality, specialty food experience that resembles artisanal fare more than a gas station caffeine fix.

Have you ever dreamed so big, that it would change the lives of so many others, and end up changing your own, forever? Charlie Jabaley wasn't your typical kid from Georgia. Sometimes labelled, "the chubby kid", Charlie was a dreamer. Knowing that he needed to use his imagination as a weapon to survive the playground, Charlie created his first persona, CEO Charlie. He had other ideas. Like pursuing the life of an athlete. But, that had to wait.
As a young CEO millionaire of Atlanta Hip-hop management company, Street Execs, he sold millions of records, changed the trajectory of how to market to millennials, and guided the careers of influential artists like Grammy award winning 2Chainz. However, while all the success was pouring in, he battled depression, binge eating, crippling insecurities and a brain tumor. To everyone on the outside, CEO Charlie was crushing it. On the inside, he was dying. Unhealthy, unhappy and unfilled, Charlie retired in 2017 at the age of 29 from both the music industry and the name “CEO Charlie”. He made the decision to reinvent his life in pursuit of his childhood dream to become an athlete.
AND FROM THE FLAMES EMERGED CHARLIE ROCKET,
Charlie Rocket inspires those around him. He’s lost 135 pounds. Became vegan. Ran 3 marathons. Reversed the growth of his brain tumor. Became an Ironman. Just finished his nationally known Dream Machine bike tour across America. Is currently on the cover of Runner’s World Magazine and secured partnership with Nike. Charlie has rerouted his ambition of making millions of dollars into his current mission to TRANSFORM 1 MILLION PEOPLE’S LIVES.

Sitting in his cubicle at a major government contracting company, literally sending items into outer space, Joseph Sheehey had landed his "dream job". Yet, his anxiety was still through the roof and sense of fulfillment about his life was hitting all-time lows. His experience with one plant in particular led him into his true calling. Fast forward just a few short years, he founded Cured Nutrition and is helping thousands of people reduce anxiety and depression, lower stress, help with chronic pain, and so many other incredible health benefits.
Cured prides theirselves on educating the world on not only using hemp and cannabis for it’s benefits, but also what should be considered when first beginning use and finding the correct company to purchase from.

Arguably the biggest commitment one can make is to their significant other in front of their friends and family on their BIG DAY. This is, according to my wife May, the biggest decision you will ever make. In this special bonus episode, May and I sit dow to discuss our views and experiences with relationships; with others and with ourselves. Ultimately boiling down to how she decided to be with me and I her.

Have you ever thought about meditation as something only level 5000 yoga instructors or Buddhist monks practice? Today's guest, Ariel Garten (@ariels_musings), is here to enlighten us all about not just best practices when it comes to meditation but also the true science behind what goes in our brain and the myriad of benefits it can bring our everyday lives!
Ariel is a co-founder of Muse: the brain sensing headband. Muse is the award-winning headband that makes meditation easier. During guided exercises, Muse senses your brain activity and sends that information to your phone or tablet, giving you real time audio feedback to help take the guesswork out of meditation. Ariel studied neuroscience at the University of Toronto and worked in labs at Toronto’s Krembil Neuroscience Centre researching Parkinson’s disease and hippocampal neurogenesis. No mere science nerd, Ariel is a fashion designer whose clothing opened Toronto Fashion Week in '03, and has had her work displayed at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Ariel’s uncommon combination of science and art is integral to the design of Muse and to InteraXon’s unique approach to brain sensing technology. Ariel was also a therapist in private practice. Ariel and her team are merging technology, neuroscience, art and design. As well as her full time position at Muse, Ariel keynotes around the world on technology, mindfulness and entrepreneurship and supports and advises a variety of start-ups.

Time to "translate complex concepts into leverage for your goals" with Sam Miller! Sam shares not only how bringing more attention to possible hormone imbalances may be negatively affecting your goals, but also his varying path of jobs and credentials that led him to his current endeavors. Like so many of us, finding our calling, our passion, our niche in the health and fitness industry can be daunting. But once you figure out what you don't want to do it makes finding what you do want much more possible!
Sam's company, Oracle, was created when he was working with one of his clients. The client, Chris, was fond of the term and began using it as a nickname for Sam due to his ability to rely on him to explain complex science, training, and nutritional concepts. This is when Oracle Athletic Science and Oracle Training & Nutrition were conceived.
Find Sam on Instagram @sammillerscience or visit https://www.OracleFitness.com to learn more about his coaching and training programs.

Thom King is not your typical CEO. Part chief executive officer, part personal development wonk, and part biohacker info geek, Thom is a self-confessed serial entrepreneur.
While his favorite book list contains many success-oriented and personal-development classics, the classic definition of achieving success (e.g. make a lot of money) is not what inspires or motivates King. He follows more of a “you aren’t doing well unless you’re also doing some good” line of thinking. King’s company has been built around the simple principle of “do the right thing.”
Founded by King in 1999, Stevia Brands Inc. is one of the largest importers, manufacturers and distributors of clean-label sweetening systems and natural sweeteners.

More often than not, on the road to enlightenment or self-discovery or hell... just trying to be a decent human being we are met with those whom think our sh*t don't stink. Or feel offended by the way we choose to now live our life (or at least try to). Granted, some of this may simply because that person is not ready to do the work and make the change like we are, but other times it is our own ignorance in how to effectively convey our meaning, our true self, and our honest intent.
Meet Amy E. Smith. She spent years finding her voice. Burried under other people’s thoughts and opinions and notions about who she should and shouldn’t be. Amy spent years as a damn-near SLAVE (drama intended) to highly restrictive religious dogma that constantly reminded her why she wasn’t enough. She was motivated by two primary things: Guilt and fear. Fear of losing salvation. Fear of not fitting in. Fear of rocking the boat. Fear of speaking her truth and losing relationships. Guilt around following her intuition when it was in stark contrast to all the religious “rights” and “wrongs”.
So, Amy began uncovering who she REALLY was. Taking her opinions out for a spin. She searched out people and places where tapping into "ME" was applauded (aka. A shit-ton of coaching classes, trainings, and seminars). Where “right” and “wrong” always looked different. Amy started to develop her OWN sense of self. What she stood for. What she believed. And after a handful of breakdowns, she found her voice. And as it turns out it was there all along.
Amy feels VERY strongly about being educated in the field of coaching, so she has a coaching certification (CPCC designation) through The Coaches Training Institute, a well-known pioneer educational establishment in the field of coaching. (aka. NOT just a weekend, online class saying “Wheeeeee, you’re a coach now!”). Additionally, Amy is credentialed with the International Coaching Federation (ACC designation), which is currently the only governing body that oversees the coaching profession. Fancy, right? It is.

Health Promotion is the science and art of helping people, organizations, and communities change lifestyle behaviors to move toward a state of improved health resulting in decreases in chronic disease and health care costs. To accomplish this objective, we must learn the science of health through the study of nutrition, biology, anatomy and physiology, and psychology combined with program planning for health promotion by learning how to assess, implement, and evaluate programs that effectively achieve the outcome of improved health.

How do we measure success these days? What constitutes a "good life"? At Ever Forward, we believe that it is all about the IMPACT you make and so does today's guest Lisa Bilyeu. She is the co-founder of Quest Nutrition and president of Impact Theory with her husband Tom Bilyeu.
Lisa is living proof that Darwin was right when he said "it is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but rather the most adaptive to change." She began her professional career in film, moved briefly into administration, and then, as a founding team member at Quest Nutrition, she took on logistics - building the company’s fulfillment department from scratch and helping facilitate the company’s rise to #2 on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing private companies. She then returned to media helping build the company’s revolutionary in-house media team, producing content that has been viewed over 100,000,000 times. As co-founder of Impact Theory, she’s looking to combine her highly developed skills as a creative producer with her drive to help people build things that matter.
Her latest passion in life is "Women of Impact" - a unique platform that will share the impact that other amazing women are having on her and the world around us.

After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and having three boys at home, Heather Chauvin quickly rose to the occasion and chose to build the life she wanted. Facing death was a revelation, to say the least. It forced her to ask, “Why am I fighting so hard to live when I don’t even know how to live?” Life had to mean more than just barely surviving, living paycheck to paycheck, and believing existence meant taking up space.
Heather Chauvin, BSW has been named the next generation’s thought leader in parenting and women’s leadership. Her mission is to crack women open to their deep potential and help them create the life their soul craves. Heather hosts the Mom Is In Control Podcast, and has been featured on the OWN network, Huffington Post, TV outlets and others.

Growing up in a beach town in California, Erin Wathen was always an active kid, competed on sports teams in high school, and taught aerobics in college. She has run 1/2 marathons, finished a Tough Mudder and many 6 hour Spin rides for Charity. A graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and a Food Addiction Counselor (INFACT), Erin is also a Certified Spinning® Instructor (STAR 3), Vinyasa Yoga instructor (200 Hour) and Classical Pilates instructor.
Even with all of her knowledge and exercise, she still was not at peace with her own body. Erin found nutrition to be the missing piece of the puzzle, as she was always on a diet and yet never at her goal weight. Through a lot of trial and error, she found her last diet. The last diet became her food plan and the basis of her book “Why Can’t I Stick to My Diet? : How To End The Food Drama”.
Erin's philosophy simply put; Health isn’t a number on the scale or how often we exercise, but our lives as whole. Together we will work on solutions that fit into your lifestyle. I will help you live your healthiest life in our crazy world.

Remember when we were kids, and we spent hours each day enjoying movement? We may not have known it then, but so much of those activities and movement patterns are what we use as adults to build workout plans and keep fitness a part of our life. However, so much of the fun has been taken from working out! We may have success in our commitments to the latest group training class on the block but are we actually being effective? Are we staying true to our specific goals?
Joe Carabase, on Instagram @joecarabase, is a fitness industry veteran, host of the "Fat M.E.L.T.-ing Radio" podcast and multiple-location owner of his own private training facilities.

Logan "Goody Beats" Delgado has achieved true transformation in multiple areas of his life. He has lost pounds, gained confidence, and built a lifestyle of his own design all the while being a family man. In this episode, you will learn more about Logan's story of what (and surprisingly who) motivated him to transform his life, create a business around social media, and share his journey with the world of how the ketogenic diet serves his goals. You can learn from and follow this keto dude on Instagram @goodybeats or join the over 90,000 subscribers on YouTube.
A ketogenic diet in particular benefits from more macronutrients from fat. Supplementing with omega-3 fats, like those found in OMAX Health, have been shown to boost heart health, reduce risk of coronary heart disease, and can help our bodies maintain normal blood triglyceride levels. They also have been clinically proven to boost neurotransmitter activity, while supporting memory, focus, concentration, and energy.

Founder of the popular Hormones Balance online community, holistic nutrition coach MagdalenaWszelaki (on Instagram @hormonebalance) knows the value of cooking for hormone balance firsthand. Developing hyperthyroidism and then Hashimoto's, adrenal fatigue and estrogen dominance propelled her to leave a high-pressured advertising career and develop a new way of eating that would repair and keep her hormones working smoothly.
Now symptom free, Magdalena shares her practical, proven knowledge so others may benefit. In Cooking for Hormone Balance, she draws on current research to explain the essential role food plays in keeping our hormones in harmony and offers easy, flavorful recipes to help us eat our way to good health. She also offers clear, concise action plans for what to remove and add to our daily diet to regain hormonal balance, including guides for specific conditions.

Meat, meat, meat, and more meat! Dr. Shawn "The Carnivore" Baker, M.D. is here to share with us his experience about being on a carnivore diet for over three years. He is an orthopedic surgeon, Air Force veteran, semi-pro rugby player, triathlete, Highland Games Masters world champion, and so much more. The main takeaway I hope we all have is that our dietary approach should always be done with doing our research on the foods we put into our bodies, take note of how we feel (internally and externally), and create a sense of awareness of how our diet can positively or negatively alter our health and performance goals.

Time to get fat - the right way! Evan DeMarco was a competitive athlete and nutritional entrepreneur who turned his energy, experience, and training to the formulation of pre-natal vitamins during his wife's 2012 pregnancy which led to an acute interest in the area of infant brain development.
Working with a group of doctors and research scientists, he developed a major breakthrough formulation using choline, an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in brain development, cell signaling, nerve impulse transmission, and lipid transport and metabolism, that resulted in a sea-change for prenatal vitamin manufacturers around the world.
Omega-3 fats, like those found in products from OMAX Health, have been shown to boost heart health, reduce risk of coronary heart disease, and can help our bodies maintain normal blood triglyceride levels. They also have been clinically proven to boost neurotransmitter activity, while supporting memory, focus, concentration, and energy. The extent of these essential fats are proving to be even more powerful with every new trial and use by everyday people like you and me!

What happens when we spend so much of our time, energy, and resources pursuing our biggest goals and something throws us off course? We have the rug pulled out from underneath us and are left to put together the pieces of our dreams?

Tony Jeffries, 2008 Olympic bronze medalist and co-owner of the popular Box N Burn gym and training methodology in Southern California, share with us how he fought for and built his life with his own two hands.

Fasting - is this truly something worth our time and attention or is just the next "cool thing" in the health and fitness industry? Sal Di Stefano (on Instagram @mindpumpsal), one of the hosts of the incredible Mind Pump podcast, has decades of experience he is bringing to the table in this interview all about the many benefits and dangers to properly conducting a fast. Also, we dive into many other half truths, whole lies, and other misbeliefs that people should be paying attention to when it comes to maximizing their workouts, diets, and overall mindset towards improving their lives.
More about today's expert guestl... Sal was 14 years old when he touched his first weight and from that moment he was hooked. Growing up asthmatic, frequently sick and painfully skinny, Sal saw weightlifting as a way to change his body and his self-image. In the beginning, Sal’s body responded quickly to his training but then his gains slowed and then stopped altogether. Not one to give up easily, he began reading every muscle building publication he could get his hands on to find ways to bust through his plateau. He read Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, Mentzer’s Heavy Duty, Kubrick’s Dinosaur Training, and every muscle magazine he could find; Weider’s Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Iron Man and even Muscle Media 2000. Each time he read about a new technique or methodology he would test it out in the gym. At age 18 his passion for the art and science of resistance training was so consuming that he decided to make it his profession and become a personal trainer. By 19 he was managing health clubs and by 22 he owned his own gym. After 17 years as a personal trainer he has dedicated himself to bringing science and TRUTH to the fitness industry.

*GIVEAWAY!!!* To win your very own copy of Lori Harder's new book A Tribe Called Bliss, make sure to share out this episode of your Instagram story and tag us @everforwardradio! The winner will be announced on IG on Wednesday, May 16 2018.
The benefits of a having a tribe are undeniable. Those of us with strong social circles are living longer, happier, and healthier lives compared to those who lack connections. Today, we live in an über-connected era, in which anyone is able to make thousands of friends with the swipe of a finger—yet the way we are connecting leaves us feeling mistrustful, jealous, disempowered, fearful, misunderstood, and ultimately defeated. We are often left believing that success is a solo, isolating endeavor or, worse, that it is reserved only for the ruthless, physically blessed, or self-absorbed.
Inspired by Lori’s own journey through loss, loneliness, and disconnection and her fears of remaining an outsider and of never reaching her dreams, A Tribe Called Bliss details how Lori shed unfulfilling, surface-level friendships and discovered her untapped potential. Step by step, she lights the way to show you how you can achieve deep, meaningful relationships that accelerate and support your highest potential, while providing the tools to ensure unshakable faith in yourself and your journey.
A Tribe Called Bliss is the way to lock in lasting, positive change and connect you to your soul’s calling once and for all. This practical, timely book is for those of us seeking to discover our authentic calling, release our fears, and reach that next level. Lori provides the tools and contextual self-work exercises to develop the self-awareness and mindfulness that is the key to a lifetime of blissful happiness.

Fear. We all have felt it on some level. Rational or not, fear is one of our most primal sensations. Today's special guest Tony Blauer is here to teach us how to use fear to our advantage, to truly understand what it does to us but, more importantly, what it can do for us.

We are more than excited to share with you this very special conversation with our good friend Jason Phillips. Jason is a neighbor to us here in the DC/Northern Virginia area and welcomed Ever Forward Radio into his home for this very candid interview. We learn about his "Thanksgiving miracle" where he went from being overdrawn in his account to how he is now a multiple seven-figure business owner, his battle with anorexia and how transformed his body and mind to become a professional athlete and sought after source on all things nutrition and fitness.
Jason Phillips has been everywhere and done everything. From cover model to professional athlete, to founder of iN³ Nutrition. Jason has written for several publications including Men’s Fitness and his own book, Macros Explained. Jason has completely revolutionized nutrition coaching. His approach is rooted in the foundation that a proper prescription is based on each unique individual, not a template of information based on physical statistics. he has created an unprecedented level of access within the nutrition coaching relationship, whether your goal is performance based, improving aesthetics, or simply a healthier lifestyle.

We can only accomplish this by continually innovating what we do and how we do it while staying passionate about helping people achieve their health, fitness, and fat loss goals."

Randall Pich, entrepreneur and founder of multiple brands has a story behind his growth and success. During his high school days, Randall did a lot of graphic designing, which led to working with a handful of companies. While growing up in the hardcore scene and skateboarding days, there were a lot of underground clothing lines blowing up.
While attending college at Long Beach State full-time, Randall worked as a personal trainer and owned a T-shirt store with his friend Bruce. Personal training came natural for him because he fell in love with working out and fitness in general. At the time, he had already competed in a few bodybuilding shows and physique competitions making a reputable name. While he was a personal trainer, Randall made "LIVE FIT" (a.k.a. LVFT) clothing exclusively for his clients. Now, he has put out a true lifestyle brand that is literally a summary of his lifestyle… fitness, skateboarding, surfing… just being active and enjoying life as it comes.

Going back to Cali, Cali, Cali... I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Amanda Bucci recently in her home in Los Angeles for this interview (kind of our theme, amazingly enough to get these experiences in person). Amanda has accomplished so much in this past year, but not without serious criticism. One of the biggest things I admire about Bucci Mane is her resolve and steadfastness, she keeps her cool and honors her truth no matter what. And I have a feeling she has only just begun to scratch the surface of her potential in terms of content creation, coaching and mentorship and multiple other avenues of business.

When it comes to physicians that truly understand the whole picture - mindset, nutrition, and physical fitness - no one explains it better in our opinion than Dr. Jade Teta. Dr. Jade is a naturopathic physician, personal trainer, author, wellness expert and an all around kick-ass dude!

We are going to get out "HEC in check" (you'll learn what that means in the interview) and walk away with a profound new appreciation of just how incredible these things we called bodies truly are.

Some reflection on what I feel holds us back in so many areas life. Why so often do not pursue what we WANT in life because we stay comfortable with what we SHOULD do. I challenge you all to become uncomfortable, for that is only when true change occurs.
Climbing the highest mountains, rowing across the Atlantic Ocean, coming face-to-face with death and even losing several fingers to pursue his life's mission - STEP OUT, SHOVE OFF! Laval St. Germain shares with us what it is like to pursue adventure in a myriad of different ways and the obstacles that life (and Mother Nature) has in store during that process.
In this episode you will learn from an "expert at turning dreams into goals into reality, Laval St.Germain knows what it takes to unzip the tent door and step out from high camp on Everest for a cold, gasping, trip to the top or to shove off the dock to row alone across the North Atlantic Ocean. Laval is the only Canadian to have climbed Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen, the only person to have climbed and skied Iraq's highest peak, and the holder of the fastest ever crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean by solo ocean row boat from mainland North America to mainland Europe. Laval has climbed the highest peak on 6 of the earth's 7 continents, and the highest peaks of more than a dozen nations. Uniquely blending extreme high risk outdoor adventure with the deliberate and strict adherence to procedures, checklists and risk management inherent in an airline pilot has kept Laval alive. Laval is an acclaimed keynote speaker, with emotional and striking stories from up there above the clouds and out there beyond the ocean horizon."

Christie Bailey is a one part entrepreneur, one part fitness cover model, and one part self-help junkie turned online business strategist. As the 2017 Bodybuilding.com spokesmodel winner and IFBB pro competition, Christie knows a thing or two about the physical, nutritional and mental discipline it takes to dramatically change one's physique. But that wasn't what it was all cracked up to be, at least not for Christie.
In this interview, you will hear her journey about how she dove 100% in to this profession, how she quit her corporate job to pursue her true calling and how and why that dream shifted for her. Christie is now helping other fitness entrepreneurs apply purpose to passion and, as her mantra says, help them find their fearless!

It is very rare when our guest can trace their trigger moment all the way back to early childhood. Emily Duncan's came at about age 8 when her dance instructor made a comment about her body type that sent her down a dark spiral of eating disorders, body dysmorphia and spent years trying to find a healthy balance and relationship with food again. Emily found an immense source of help and internal motivation once she started strength training. From there she became a professional bikini competitor, competing in over a dozen shows and even taking first place in her class in 2016 at the NPC Jr. USA National Championships.
This episode can be summarized by this amazing quote from Emily: "Don't rely on the energy of the outside world to fuel you. Find out what makes YOU strong and what makes YOU awesome, and run with it." Emily lives a life ever forward through TENACITY - in fact it is her apparel line - and you will find an abundance of it in this episode and in her story.
Emily is a Bodybuilding.com, PESciecne and Gymshark athlete. Emily has an amazing and empowering podcast of her own, EmBody Radio, and can be found all over social media under "em_dunc".

My second amazing guest from the proud country of Ireland! Today you can listen me interview Brian Keane and then go listen to his interview of me! Brian has the one of top-downloaded fitness podcasts in Ireland and I had the privilege of being a guest on his show "The Brian Keane Fitness Podcast". So make sure to listen here and then head over to Brian's podcast to have the tables turned and the host becomes the guest.
In this episode, Brian and I discuss his many obstacles that he had to overcome before creating this incredible lifestyle he has now as an online fitness coach, professional competitor, author, podcast host and father. Besides the training, besides the dieting... the EGO soon became Brian's biggest hurdle to jump, learning how he was getting in his own way. How his SELF was preventing his true success and happiness. We explore the concepts of ego both in and out of the gym and, most importantly, how to step outside of your ego and gain an objective view of your life, to see what is serving truly serving you and your mission and what simply needs to go.

It is all about RITUAL, my friends! Establishing and honoring daily habits that will set us up for success for the rest of the day should be at the top of all of our priorities. But how do you know which are the best for you and, more importantly, how can you really tell if you are getting your money's worth? All questions we dive deep into this week with our special guest from one of our favorite supplements companies and proud sponsor.
Today's guest, Drew Canole, is the founder and CEO of Organifi and shares with us his incredible transformation story and how the power of juicing helped set him on his path. His incredible story of weight loss and self-discovery is one that I'm sure a lot of us can relate to. But interesting enough, Drew describes for us the NUMBER ONE daily habit that helped got him and keep him well - JUICING!

Are you an obliger? Upholder? Rebel? Or questioner? These are what Gretchen Rubin has categorized and written about in her most recent book, "The Four Tendencies". In this episode, Gretchen and I discuss these four ways in which human nature, in her opinion, shines through. Best practices for how to show up in every situation your day and your relationships demand of you. If you are seeking a deeper understanding of how to improve your communication skills, how to better comprehend the actions of others and overall take your sense of awareness to a whole new level then you have tuned in to the right podcast!
You may recognize Gretchen from such amazing other works as "The Happiness Project" and "Better Than Before", as well as her TED Talk (that I still reference on a regular basis) "Five Half-Truths About Happiness". For all of Gretchen's amazing content you can check her website at GretchenRubin.com.

Show up. Shut up. Two very clear and to the point messages that I took away from this episode with Mike Farr, a.k.a. Silent Mike as most of us know him online. After spending years of learning and training with the best at Mark Bell's "Super Training Gym" and co-host of the podcast with the same namesake. He became a student even though he was actively teaching others, something we should all strive to accomplish as we shed our layers of ego even more and more.
You can connect with Mike on his YouTube channel, full of great like-minded guests, tips and insight on how to progress in the gym. He is also a co-coach at Kizen Training and regularly posts on his Instagram.

*FULL DISCLOSURE* This episode contains higher than usual usage of adult language but by no means does it make the message any less significant, in my opinion.
The gentlemen over at Mind Pump (Mind Pump Radio, Mind Pump Media, etc.) sat down with me to share their combined 40+ years in the fitness industry as trainers, coaches, and students themselves. We dove deep into topics that many of us have come to learn to be slight fabrications and even blatant lies about human physiology, nutrition and the health and fitness profession as a whole. We explore the evolution of an industry and how they found what works best for them, their clients and their audience in general.
We LOVE our sponsors! Thanks to Organifi and Freshly for partnering with Ever Forward Radio to provide incredible deals on quality products to our audience, not to mention helping the ongoing production of this podcast.

"The best way to avenge yourself is to not be like that."
-Marcus Aurelius
Message and quote from Ryan Holiday's "The Daily Stoic".
When creating new habits in efforts to build a healthier lifestyle for ourselves and our loved ones, we often shift attention to our diet. We all have to eat, right? But how many of us have tried diet after diet after diet? How do we truly know how we are supposed to be eating, for our body type, or even what the human race has evolved to be better suited for?
This week’s guest, Mark Sisson, has spent decades seeking the ideal way of eating for his own optimum performance and has created a library of invaluable content for the rest of us in the process. During these self-experimentations and studies of human physiology, Mark has shared his discoveries through his world-renowned blog “Mark’s Daily Apple” and his organization “The Primal Blueprint” providing recipes, books, other products and supplements helped to fuel the paleo, gluten-free and ketogenic lifestyle.
Mark’s latest work, “The Keto Reset Diet: Reboot Your Metabolism in 21 Days and Burn Fat Forever”, we learn not only about the latest science behind what it takes to get our bodies into ketosis for optimum fat-burning but some amazing recipes and dietary tips along the way. Over 100 delicious low-carb, high-fat ketogenic recipes to be exact!

Have you ever stumbled across something that you immediately became obsessed with, needing to know everything about it and how to implement it into your daily life? Well that was the case with building a healthy mind, body and soul for Sophie Aris. After watching her first ever physique competition she was hooked, competing in multiple shows over the course of the next year or so.
But through this process of competing, Sophie also began to grow her passion for content creation and applying similar principles from the gym to her every day life and social media presence. Being semi-forced out of her 9-5 job as a public school teacher, Sophie went full-force into her entrepreneur mode; blogging, growing her Instagram, becoming a sponsored athlete by huge brands such as Nocco, Gymshark and Ghost, and creating as much content as possible to further enrich the lives of those people who follow her journey online.
Sophie's blog hosts amazing recipes and wellness insights, and her Instagram page is updated daily showing her giant smile or current workout routine (or both!).
If you seek out a digital form of programming or accountability in today's market you will most likely be overwhelmed with the amount of "online coaches". The term has all but been bastardized by social media and people selling get-lean-quick and cookie-cutter programs. Yes, these work for a small amount of people. But for this week's guest Kyle Hunt (and myself) that is simply not enough.
Kyle has been involved with digital accountability and online coaching log before it was trending on Instagram. He connects with his clients on a personal level to make sure they receive the utmost value and bang for their buck. In this interview, coach-to-coach, Kyle and I talk about the do's and dont's of this growing profession, what makes a good online coach as well as client, what to look for when trying to branch out this platform for both the trainer and person seeking to make changes to their life.
Kyle as a certified fitness trainer and nutrition specialist with his B.S. in Exercise Science. He hosts and produces the podcast Absolute Strength as well as serves clients in-person and online via Kyle Hunt Fitness. He has an amazing and motivating Instagram and can be found on most social media platforms under the same name.
Hate. It's just another four-letter word. It has a surface-level negative connotation if you let it. Matt Vincent, 2012 and 2014 Highland Games world champion and co-founder of HVIII Brand Goods, unpacks for us how he uses hate to his advantage.
With a strong (no pun intended) foundation in field games, Matt has spent the better part of a decade donning a performance-apparel kilt and hurling hundreds of pounds against some of the world's largest and strongest men. But this skill has carried over into much more, Matt and his brother founded HVIII (pronounced "hate") Brand Goods to help others see further into themselves, to do more, be more, demand more from themselves.
Matt says it best here:
"HVIII... is a strong term that many will find negative. Good. So do I. I refuse to not get better. It is not an option. I will make the sacrifices necessary to be the best. This attack on the self is necessary because if I don’t train everyday with the intention of destroying the old me, then I’m missing something. This is the fire I feel, that I want you to feel. This is the fire, the hate, the motivation for improvement.
There is no excuse not to improve yourself. No one gives a shit. People may coddle you, but when you sit alone, you have only yourself to blame. We have all had days when we come up short because we’re unprepared. If you are unprepared, then it is your fault. So take responsibility. There is something you can do about it."
Have you ever been called in to assist with a terrorist or hostage crisis? No? Well today's special guest has many times! Former lead FBI international kidnapping negotiator Chris Voss has seen it all and talked his way out of it all.
For most of us, we have more of a chance of going up against a peer for that big promotion than trying to save lives. And that is just what Chris teaches us here; how to negotiate anything like your life depended on it. How to become a better listener, a better conversationalist and, most importantly, how to ask key questions to steer the conversation and negotiation in the direction we want. How to change the terms of a contract, how to get a raise, how to get bumped up to the next flight when yours gets canceled (a secret we learn from Chris' son in the episode). Bottom line - how to use simple tools to yield phenomenal results.
Chris' latest book, Never Split the Difference is an amazing read that gives step-by-step tactics to win everyday occurrences. His weekly newsletter, The Edge, is the icing on the cake for extra content on how to be an effective negotiator in any situation.
Welcome to your second weekly dose of Ever Forward Radio! This is the first (of what I hope to be many) end-of-the-week episodes to provide a little more drive, a reminder of why you do what you do and how to never let that gas tank run empty.
This episode I discuss one of my favorite new sources for inspiration and, well... philosophy. That is Stoicism. If any of you follow me on Twitter or have seen some of my recent quotes associated with my Instagram posts, you know what I am referencing. Stoics have an incredible way of bringing the most brutal form of honesty to any conversation, especially the ones we have with ourselves.
I encourage you to never forget your philosophy, the WHY behind you do what you do. If you are struggling to find one then I encourage, no I implore you to take the one that continues to serve me and make it your own and live a life EVER FORWARD.
Whether you are trying to lose weight or are seeking to better understand the human body on your own wellness journey, you have undoubtedly encountered that dirty little "F" word... FAT. We all have it, but why? What is its biological purpose? This episode dives deep into the science of this hormone and how it works for us and against us.
"Dr. Sylvia Tara, holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from The University of California, San Diego and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.She was a healthcare management consultant with McKinsey & Company, and has worked for the world’s largest biotechnology companies.
After an extended battle with fat, Dr. Tara became fascinated with its resiliency and embarked on a mission to better understand it. This book is the culmination of years of research and interviews with physicians, patients and leading scientists. The Secret Life of Fat will forever change how you think about this misunderstood organ."
Function. Fashion. Very rarely do the two come hand-in-hand, especially in the athletic apparel industry. Nate Checketts sought to bridge this gap by creating a clothing line that went the extra mile again and again because he knew that was exactly the type of person who would wear it. His company, Rhone, is the product of a lifetime of entrepreneurial spirit, Nate shares with us his story of the lessons learned, mistakes made and what exactly it takes in order to successfully step out on your own and serve a need (and make it a thriving business at the same time.)
Rhone is for every man. Like their website says, "Whether running errands, jumping on a flight, or pushing hard in the gym, Rhone feels good, looks good, performs better. Ultimately we want to capture that which inspires all of us. Our belief is we can push each other and our product forward each day." And they even have "#foreverforward" as their driving hashtag, how perfect is that?!
Have you ever tried a new diet in hopes that it would be THE ONE to shed the weight you have been wanting to lose for years? Have you joined a gym or hired a personal trainer to only turn into a monthly donation? Or what about taken a look inside yourself, a physical and emotional inventory of how you were truly showing up to reach those goals? Most of us, being brutally honest with ourselves, do not have experience in the later. Our emotions are just as an important muscle to train for our wellness as any other body part we may be trying to sculpt. This is usually why we are not as successful as we may like because we are putting someone else's diet in our body, someone else's workout in our training routine and not truly listening to what our own body is telling us it needs and wants. We are our own experiment, our lives are truly a "n=1" case study.
Today's guest, Josh Trent of Wellness Force, is going to guide us down his path of personal enlightenment of how he used emotional intelligence to take inspired action to lose over eighty pounds, train and coach others and ultimately live a life ever forward. He will mention some amazing tools that helped him along his journey, such as in-depth metabolic lab testing from WellnessFX, physical activity trackers, apps such as Nudge Health Tracker and much more.
We are joined by The One Thing's Vice President, Geoff Woods today and learning all about how analyzing the five closest people in your life can really help set you on your true path. How asking 'What can I do for you?" will always come back to serve your goals more than you ever thought possible.
Geoff is an outstanding example of walking-the-walk when it comes to taking his own advice. We learn how in just ten short months he went from employee to helping launch The One Thing's empire with the co-authors of the worldwide bestselling book. Geoff walks me through several role playing scenarios in which things get real, real fast! I encourage you all to listen with open ears and an honest heart, as you will undoubtedly walk away with clarity on how to go about structuring your day, your calendar, your relationships and your life - how finding your ONE thing so that by doing it everything else becomes easier or unnecessary.
Make sure to check out Geoff's amazing podcast and free content here!
In honor of the six month anniversary of Ever Forward Radio, it is my honor to bring you all a very special interview that shines a light on another prominent meaning behind the two words that have molded my life. And not just my life, but the complete trajectory of my family's. A huge part of that has been Ever Forward Apparel founder, Instagram and YouTube fitness personality Maxx Chewning, my younger brother.
In this episode we learn what drives this young man on a daily basis to never stop pursuing excellence, to never stop being more. How once he puts his mind to something he quickly becomes a subject matter expert, analyzing it from every possible angle to improve upon it and make it his own. This could not be more apparent than on his thriving fitness YouTube channel, quickly rising to the top in his industry in a short time period. Whether filming a 600 pound deadlift, a day of eating or whatever whacky antic he has decided to make the focus of his vlog there is no doubt that you will be engaged from start to finish.
Maxx continues to be a source of motivation for those looking to pursue their passions, tackle any larger-than-life task or even conquer daily life obstacles. He is a walking, talking example of what it means to truly live a life ever forward. However quirky it may be!
Morning person? Night owl? Regardless of the label, there is one thing that is the common denominator and that is sleep is king. Hands down. Without proper sleep the rest of your day, your life and your tasks undoubtedly suffer. But how do you know how much your body really needs? With so much information (and misinformation) online and in the world, how do we truly know what best suits us an individual? This week's guest, Dr. Michael Breus, PhD a.k.a. The Sleep Doctor, shares with us his amazing findings on how to bulletproof your sleep health by helping you determine your chronotype in his book "The Power of When".
In this amazing read, Dr. Breus explains how to best understand your chronotype with a simple quiz, also available online for free here at The Power of When Quiz. This proves beneficial for primarily improving your sleep health; when your body is best suited to go to sleep, when to wake, when to nap and everything in between.
But it doesn't stop with sleep! Learning your body type and your chronotype helps you determine when you are best suited to eat lunch, ask for a raise, have sex, write a novel, take your medications and so much more.
A childhood fraught with daily violence, neighbors with gunshot wounds, street riots and so many other traumatic events, Rosie Acosta quickly became immune to her toxic environment. She knew nothing else, this was her norm. However, one day through the power of taking pause, taking a breath and instilling mindfulness into her present she was able to radically change the course of her existence. Rosie chose to set herself on a path to become a yoga practitioner to help others live a life full of health, wellness and overall adopting a "radically loved" paradigm.
In this episode, Rosie shares with us exactly HOW and WHY we all should shift our focus to the power of NOW. How to bring a greater sense of awareness into our lives to better process everything from common daily stressors (work, relationships, fatigue, etc.) to working through significant traumatic events (as she does with Afghanistan war veterans suffering from PTSD). In one word - MINDFULNESS.
Currently on the road all across America for Yoga Journal's "LIVE BE YOGA" tour, Rosie is bringing mindfulness to the masses. She hosts and incredible podcast called "Radically Loved" where you can actually hear her interview me, available the same time as this episode of EF Radio can be heard.
Rosie's amazing accomplishments include being 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance, graduate of New York’s IIN School, a Health Coach Training Program, and is Nutrition and Wellness Certified through AFPA (accredited by the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board) She is able to guide her clients through a nutritive way to help with weight management and enhancing overall health through fitness performance and holistic foods.
This week we dive into important protocols that we all should be mindful of, whether we are trying for a new PR in the gym or playing with our kids. The goal in everything we do in this life is to do it well, do it repeatedly and do it pain-free. Myodetox, a Canada-based myofascial-release and rehabilitative specialty center, is focused on helping individuals live pain free and move at their full potential.
A few months ago I stumbled across Dr. Jacob Harden's Instagram account while looking for posts on mobility. I quickly started following him and even scrolling through most of his previous posts, nearly everything he put out was applicable to me personally or I could use for clients of my own. The man knew his stuff! You can visit Dr. Harden in the current US-only location in Orlando, FL or catch his daily content creation on his Instagram account. A doctor of chiropractor by trade, USAPL powerlifter and all-around student of life this guy helps others live a life ever forward... literally.
Are you feeling hungry? Well you will be after taking one look at this week's guest's Instagram page or cookbook! Zach Rocheleau, a.k.a "theflexibledietinglifestyle" guru on social media, has a low-calorie recipe for just about every food group and "cheat meal" you can think of.
But after spending just a few minutes talking with Zach I could tell that his WHY was burning through more than any tempting protein cinnamon roll he could whip up. His origin story of having to endure a basketball career-ending injury and how that helped reevaluate his approach to eating and fitness truly molded his intent, and I think that is something that shines through in all of his posts. He is doing this to not just make his own journey more enjoyable (and delicious) but to show others that they can have their cake and eat it too. He just probably has a higher protein, lower calorie version of it to share with you!
And speaking of sharing - stay tuned until the very end! Zach has an amazing offer to listeners of EverForward Radio that you will definitely not want to miss out on! Zach can be found on mostly on his booming Instagram account The Flexible Dieting Lifestyle or learn more about what he has to offer on his website Flexible Dieting Lifestyle.
Are you working a job but not in the career you want? Do you have more passion in your side hustles than your 9-5? This week's guest, JB Glossinger, shares with us his journey of doing just that and gives us guidance on how and when to take the leap. More importantly, how and why to change our perspective so that we can change our life.
JB has authored multiple books and is a well sought-after speaker as well as longtime podcaster on Morning Coach. All of his great content and resources can be found on his personal website.

It really doesn't get much better than this week's guest when it comes to applying a vision to filming. I am speaking of course of cinematographer (yes, he is a YouTuber but I feel to label him just as that would be to significantly diminish his craft) Zack Kravits.
I have been following Zack online for a few months now and I honestly get hooked on every piece of content he creates. He. Is. Just. That. Good. In this interview I discuss just why he is so damn skilled (though he claims he doesn't know), what it takes to have an idea of something in your head and bring it to life on film. He creates short films, mini-series, vlogs, camera and equipment how-to's and so much more.
When I say keep an eye on this guy for the future Best Picture, I mean it. Do yourself a favor after you finish this episode and check out his YouTube channel and see for yourself! He can also be found here on his recently revamped Instagram page.
This episode is especially insightful because come from my own experiences getting to know and grow with my wife, May (a.k.a. Boo Thang). May continues to be a cornerstone in my life for a myriad of reasons, outside of finally finding my Jasmine (I was obsessed with Aladdin as a kid). This Persian Princess and I have been through the grinder when it comes to the ups and downs of dating and romance, but we always come back to our commitment to each other, our friendship and our relationship now as husband and wife.
We answer several questions from a Q&A post I did on my Instagram as well as spin off into specific areas of work that have best served our relationship. We highly value our individualism while at the same time make damn sure we are each other's biggest advocates. I think this episode will not only give you all more insight into our lives and what makes us tick but also some ways to help improve any relationship you may currently be in our for future reference.
May is currently growing her social media presence and can be found on Instagram and Twitter.

Rich homies unite! Travis S is one of the hungriest (literally) guys in the game when it comes to YouTube personalities. An accountant by day and avid weight lifter by night... and food challenger extraordinaire everywhere in between.
But Travis' story unfolded more as how he was able to take his fear of public speaking and being a natural introvert to a natural in front of the camera and putting himself out there to the world. On top of that, Travis lost his mother to cancer during college. Losing this foundational person in his life was hands-down his most trying time, but he came out even stronger on the other side and shows us how he lives a life ever forward in her honor.
We learn here how to best apply new platforms to our lives that not only help us grow professionally but also show us ways we in which we can get over our own shortcomings. You can watch Travis S on his YouTube channel lifting weights, eating insane amounts of food and conquering his fears of public speaking on a regular basis.
Drug addict. Alcoholic. Powerlifter. Entrepreneur. And doughnut connoisseur! Krissy Mae Cagney has overcome nearly a decade of alcohol and substance abuse by diving head first into her own form of recovery that involves more barbells than a twelve step program. She has accomplished so much in such a short period of time all the while battling her own addiction demons. Living clean, sober and strong is her forte these days with her husband and dogs either in the gym or the great outdoors.
"I do not know wha the future will hold, but I am passionate about all my endeavors" is a quote from Krissy's bio on her website, Krissy Mae Cagney. This is such a powerful connection to the ever forward life, in that while we may not know what certainties we have in life we do know the power in our application of our passion.
Please follow Krissy on all social media platforms @krissymaecagney or if you find yourself in Reno, NV be sure to stop by her Black Iron Gym and join the "misfits"!
How do we account for success in life? In the gym we measure it by adding weights to the barbell or increasing our speed on the treadmill, but life doesn't always make it that easy elsewhere. Pushing past our perceived limitations and pursuing our dreams, our true passions to stand confidently on the other side is what so many of us strive for. Or at least want to.
Accountant by day, bodybuilder by night - enter Brian DeCosta! He is someone who has taken a passion of pushing past physical limitations in the gym and put himself on one of the world's largest fitness platforms. This excelled him further than he ever imagined. This week we learn how Brian took his training, mentality and entire life to the next level through the 2017 BodyBuilding.com spokesmodel search. Taking second place has helped push Brian's online fitness personna to new levels and is continuing to do BIG things alongside his female fitness counterpart and girlfriend Amanda Bucci.
Joining me this week are two of the co-founders of Nudge Health Tracker and Nudge Coach, the smartphone app and online health coaching platform changing the way healthcare professionals interact with their clients. By having users track, actively or passively, their activity, diet, sleep, etc. their coaches are able to monitor the data and better guide them along their wellness journey. "Our mobile app empowers clients to stay mindful of their health, accountable to their plan, and connected to your brand", as stated on their website.
The Nudge Health Tracker app is a great tool for those looking to learn more about their daily habits, with or without it connected to a coach. The Nudge Coach platform allows coaches to pool one or one hundred of their clients' data points to help them make more or less of certain behaviors. Integrating with other great tools such as Jawbone, Fitbit and basic smartphone health trackers (steps, distance) Nudge really is a streamlined process, a one-stop shop for data collection and analysis for healthcare professionals, coaches and trainers alike.
Find Nudge Health Tracker in the iTunes App Store, Google Play and Nudge Coach online at www.nudgecoach.com. Also, Phil and Mac's "Scale Well" podcast is in iTunes and Google Play Music.
NWB IN THE HOUSE!!! I had the pleasure of reconnecting with my old friend, Nick Wright. Nick has lived, eaten and breathed YouTube fitness over the past five plus years. His story is one that always comes to my mind when I think of someone truly applying passion to purpose. A native Rhode Islander, I had the privilege of getting to know Nick for his year in Richmond, VA. We crushed countless workouts and even more Chipotle meals together with my younger brother (Maxx Chewning, whom Nick references in the interview) and our other gym rat friends.
Being one of the firsts in the industry, he has had the unique perspective of watching his profession grow exponentially while helping usher in a new era of content creators. He always stays true to himself and has an admirable "no bullshit" policy when it comes to conveying his story through his videos, whether in the gym, smoking his favorite cigar or spending quality time with his longtime girlfriend Arianna.
Nick's YouTube channel can be found here (no, we won't kidding about Scondore) at www.youtube.com/scondore and on Instagram and Twitter @nickwrightnwb.
Have you, or someone you know, ever struggled with finding the right diet? Has it evolved into disordered eating or even an eating disorder (yes, there is a difference)? This week's guest, Josie Mai, has experienced this same struggle and is here to tell you her story and that there is hope.
In today's world, we cannot scroll through our Instagram feed without seeing some sort of "#fitspo" or "#iifym", or watch a workout video on YouTube without their My Fitness Pal account popping up showing us exactly how much they have eaten in each macronutrient category. The problem is that this information is relative to THAT person only, and any people fall victim to applying the same or similar approaches to diet and exercise without first doing our due diligence on our own bodies. Every BODY is different, literally.
For those of you with whom this episode resonates or if you have any questions I encourage you to reach out to Josie. Her story can be seen on YouTube at Josie V Mai and on Instagram at Josie V Mai.
Being a health coach, I cross paths with some amazing and incredibly smart professionals who also help others live their best life. In this case with AIRROSTI rehab provider Dr. Justin Bryant, I share walls! He is a doctor of chiropractic by trade but has spent the last several years working exclusively on weekend warriors, Crossfit junkies, stay-at-home moms and even professional athletes. His technique now? Myofascial release.
Here, AIRROSTI explains what exactly they do: "The reason we’re able to get the remarkable and consistent results we do is because of our emphasis on finding all the components of your injury and delivering a very specific treatment to the soft tissues. These are the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue throughout the body and around the joints. When our bodies experience repetitive stress or trauma, this tissue is often injured. This leads to pain, numbness, weakness, and restricted range of motion. Our focus at Airrosti is fixing the connective tissue and manually repairing it to its normal state. By doing so, we are able to very effectively increase strength, function and range of motion, while dramatically decreasing pain and allowing our patients to return to normal activity — whether that means running a marathon, doing CrossFit, gardening, playing with the kids, or simply being more productive and pain free at work."
AIRROSTI providers near you can be found online at www.airrosti.com, or please contact Dr. Bryant directly if you are in the DC/Northern Virginia area by phone at 1-800-404-6050.
This is, to date, my longest and perhaps most hard-hitting interview on improving the SELF. In this episode, we discuss how our own limiting beliefs are usually the root of our limitations. How the ego masks itself in various ways that form unwanted habits, how to bring awareness into your life to allow these to surface and the action required to improve upon them so we can truly step into our own greatness.
I had the privilege of sitting down with one of my fellow VCU alum and colleague Yedda (yes, it's just YEDDA). Her wealth of experience in entrepreneurship, wellness, coaching and self-help have always left a lasting impression with me. Yedda currently resides in Richmond, VA and serves her community in a variety of ways; health coaching, personal training, executive coaching and all things wellness. She can be found at www.yeddas.com.
Jake Ducey is a guy following his heart's calling by living the life he makes for himself. He has traveled the world, faced near-death, acted upon (seemingly) outlandish goals that have set him for success and life of true happiness - all by the age of 25!
Drawing on some of his most recent works, we discuss his book The Purpose Principles and how we can learn to draw more meaning into our life. Early in this book I was hit hard with hid words of "The first place to focus our attention is vision: knowing what you want." We may not always know what we want, but knowing what we DO NOT want can be just as important. In this interview, Jake walks us through what it was that set him on his path of enlightenment, success and healthy habits and how we can do the same.
Aika is many things; an entrepreneur, a designer, a mentor and a phenomenal hostess to an out-of-towner like myself! I had the privilege of being escorted around the VIP tents and watching shows backstage all thanks to Aika and her amazing team of empowered women during Austin City Limits in 2016.
After getting to know her and learn of her start from a battered women's shelter to self-made woman, designer and operator of her own company knew I had to get more of her story on record! Aika's story shows us that sometimes beautiful things can come out of tragic events or surroundings. And if they don't, simply design them yourself! Learn how to design the life you love from her impacting story.
I had the privilege if attending Shawn's live recording of his podcast "The Model Health Show" here in DC last month. He opened up the floor to questions from the audience and I jumped at the opportunity to connect with this wellness and entrepreneurship mastermind!
I encourage you all to first listen to episode three, "The Power of Taking Action", and then revisiting this episode. Just as important as it is to pursue your dreams it is equally vital to know how and when to do so.
Shawn and his co-host Jade provided me with some excellent insight from their journey. I go back and listen to his words of wisdom multiple times a week! I hope you all get some sort of takeaway from his advice for your own endeavors and daily living.
Amanda shares with us how sometimes the best laid plans do not wind up being the end result. I spent the majority of the day with her training at Venice Beach Gold's Gym, grabbing some lunch and a beer and of course she took me to her favorite local donut shop.
I have had the pleasure of training and hanging out with Ms. Bucci several times since this interview and am proud to call her a friend. She is taking the world on with a tour de force! Be sure to follow her on YouTube, Twitter and Instagram and don't miss HER interview of ME on her podcast, Bucci Radio.
After spending a long weekend with these guys I can honestly say I have made some friends for life. I connected with Nick nearly a year ago through his YouTube channel. He served as an active duty officer in the United States Army and I was an active duty noncommissioned officer so we immediately connected over our time in the service. These guys are changing the supplement game for sure, on top of opening up a top-notch warehouse gym in the outskirts of Austin, TX.
If you are like me, you sometimes table ideas and projects out of uncertainty or even fear of failing. But why? Why are we so afraid to put ourselves out there and not give ourselves the opportunity to succeed? The opportunity to fail and learn from it?
In this episode I talk about my own hesitations to take action and why and how I am no longer letting the fear of the unknown or failure stopping me from putting myself out there. I hope you can do the same and TAKE ACTION!
If you follow YouTube fitness channels at all then you are most likely no stranger to this young man, Christian Guzman. Founder of Alphalete athletic apparel and gym in Houston, TX, Christian has grown to become one of the biggest names in the social media fitness industry.
After spending the weekend with Christian here in DC, I had the chance to sit down and learn about his origin story and all of the hard work it took him to reach such an incredible level of success at such an early age.
