Our Collective Mental Health with Joe Eiben Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Today on Here's The Deal I'm chatting with Joe Eiben, who is a Licensed Integrative Psychotherapist, Professional Coach, Public Speaker, Holistic Nutrionist and we are talking about Mental health. I think we can all agree it's been a challenging few years. We must keep in mind that the only thing we can control is how we react to it. He talks to us about how the nervous system has three settings, activation, rebound, and collapse. Often times we are moving from activation to collapse and not allowing our nervous system to rebound. You've got to find the balance. This is such a great episode and we dive way more into mental health and what that looks like right now. You can find Joe at... www.joeeiben.com Instagram @joesdailycup

Why Everyone Gained Weight in the Pandemic with Ali Damron Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

I'm back with my podcast best, Ali Dameron and we're breaking down why so many people gained weight over the last two years. This conversation was inspired by an Instagram post made by Dr. John Ruskin, check in out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CYr898ZraXm/

The graph that the shared shows the average weight gain in America since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. If you think you're alone in gaming weight, you're not. The graph shows that men averaged a 37 pound weight gain and women gained 22 pounds. As much as I don't want you to be a slaved to the scale, I'm pretty sure that this wasn't all muscle being built.

As Ali and I breakdown the changes that we all went under, it's really not surprising what happened. We discuss the following:

working from home
less daily movement
new habits picked up
working in the kitchen
gyms being closed
increased stress
coping mechanisms used

I promise this episode is not all doom and gloom. It's actually full of helpful, actionable items that you can take right away to start the trend move in the other direction. If you're feeling defeated after the last two years, have no fear. You can take back control of the situation.

Show notes

You learn to listen and observe your body’s eating. A lot of times what your body is missing is safety, we aren’t feeling safe and regulated in our own bodies. We talk about trauma, healing, your internal dialogue, and how to shift your energy.

We talk about intuitive eating and why it may not be working for you, the internal dialogue that you have with yourself and how that dialogue started and how being preoccupied with your weight is protecting you and why it may feel safer than processing what else may need your attention.

What is Animal Flow with Creator, Mike Fitch Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

Mike Fitch is the passionate creator of the movement modality called Animal Flow. In this episode I ask Mike about his background as a personal trainer and how he came to develop this phenomenal movement that is Animal Flow. We discuss how learning a new movement is a fantastic way to create change not only in our physical body, but also our mindset and how it will also improve your general wellness. Animal Flow is a Stand-alone modality or it can supplement what you are already doing to make you the best mover you can possibly do.

In addition to creating this amazing modality, he also created a documentary, We Invite You To Move, which you can view on the Animal Flow website. The purpose of the documentary is to inspire individuals to find the form of movement that they LOVE to do so that they start moving and keep moving. There are so many ways you can move your body, there's no sense in doing something that you do not enjoy. And then you can allow the benefits of movement to trickle into the other areas of your life.

I asked Mike the question, "do people confuse Animal Flow with yoga and Mike explains how the two have similar movements, it's about the intention behind the movement." While some of the movements and shapes may LOOK similar, they are completely different. It might look like yoga or capoeira or parkour or calisthenics, but is it's own style of movement.

You can try Animal Flow on your own (I highly recommend) at the website: www.animalflow.com

Ashley started her business after her own journey, when she noticed that her happiness was attached to how she looked on the outside. She would punish herself for eating a bowl of oatmeal.

This is ultimately what lead her to start Metabolic Fix, healing your metabolism. We talk diet breaks, reverse dieting and how you can't live in a fat loss, I don't want to give it all away, so you're going to have to listen for the details.
