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.

More importantly, how and why to change our perspective so that we can change our life.

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.
