Birth Control: Band-Aid or Best Option Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

After several years of working with women, I've realized that the more we can be in tune with our bodies, the better decision we can make. One thing that holds women back from knowing their own bodies is being on hormonal birth control. Breanne explains to us how the female menstrual cycle is our body's way of communicating to us and when our cycle is manipulated by outside forces, we are missing out on valuable information. Breanne Kallonen has a Doctor of Naturopathy and Biomedical Science degrees. She shares her expertise with us and explains what actually is going on during the menstrual cycle. She is a huge proponent of testing over guessing so you and your doctor can get you not only feeling normal, but your absolute best. My favorite part of the podcast is when we discuss how diet and lifestyle factors can have a HUGE impact on the way we feel. As you've heard several times on Here's The Deal, our perception of stress and our recovery methods (or lack thereof) can really hinder us from feeling our best.

Ashley Wiens, IFBB Figure Pro - The Power to Change & the Freedom to Choose and What It Takes to Reach Your Goals Jul 25, 2020

Show notes

Ashley is a world-class trainer and coach who has had her own fascinating fitness journey. We start with a brief introduction of who Ashely is, but most importantly dive into how she got to where she is. Ashely talks about her typical clients, what their obstacle are and explains how she helps them reach their goals and change both their body and mind.

My favorite part of the podcast is when we dive into Ashley's nutrition strategies and how she educates clients about how the body adapt to what you give it (remember Episode 21 with Josh on Metabolic Adaptation), and how she implements diet breaks and reverse diets to get clients the long-term success they desire.

My second favorite part of the podcast is when we discuss why the number on the scale is a HORRIBLE indicator of progress. She explains that the longer you train, the more muscle you will have and it's going to be even harder to reach that low number on the scale. But what is that goal number about anyway?

Ashely tells us about her journey with competing, what it takes and how her goals have recently changed. Most importantly, she reminds us that it's totally OK to change your goals as your life changes.

Finally, we wrap up with Ashley talking to us about having multiple streams of revenue to sustain her online and in-person coaching business.

I hope you find this episode educational and inspirational. If you'd like to reach out to Ashely, you can find her on Instagram at:

When Will It Ever Be Enough? Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Writer Dave Pennington and I take some time to discuss the concept of "enough." When will you feel as though what you are doing enough? And when will what you have be enough? Both of us have found working with our clients (in totally different industries) that most people are burning the candle at both ends and still coming up short in terms of feeling what they are doing is enough. It affects all areas of your life. Our obsession with productivity is wreaking havoc on our quality of life. When will you be lean enough? When will you have enough money? When will your business be big enough? We would love to hear your thoughts.

The DUTCH Test, Hormonal Health and Holistic Wellness with Ali Damron Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

As usual, a great conversation with Ali Damron. We start our discussion explaining what the DUTCH test is, why I took this test and why you might want to consider it. We also dive into why you shouldn't settle for anything less than your best.

Being the hormone expert that Ali is, she describes to us how the hormones actually work in the body and how we can optimize this whole process if something is off.

As we discussed in a prior episode we discuss how several lifestyle factors actually have a HUGE impact on how we are feeling and how our body is performing.

Training, Nutrition and Business with Jess Allen May 27, 2020

Show notes

After seven years of following Jess and doing her workouts, I finally had the opportunity to sit down and chat with her about all things training, nutrition and business. For years, I've been dying to ask her how she comes up with her workouts and really just get to know her better.

We start of by getting to know a little more about Jess and her journey from collegiate softball player at Standford University into a coach, trainer and entrepreneur. Our discussion includes the differences (and mutual appreciation) between our methods of training, both of our perspectives on tracking macronutrients and of course how on earth do you run a business, take care of your family and also take care of yourself.

This conversation is perfect for anyone who already loves Jess or anyone who is looking to take their personal training or nutrition coaching business online .

What's Really In the Mirror? Body Dysmorphia with Therapist Joe Eiben Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

Where do I begin??? This episode with Joe is full of nuggets that will open your eyes and make you examine your relationship wit yourself and how you eat and exercise.

The main point of having Joe on the podcast was to discuss body dysmorphia, but it turned out to be so much more. Joe explains how the obsession with how we look is actually a distractor to what we are actually feeling. Our mind and our ego are trying to protect us from the feelings we don't want to feel. WE GO DEEP.

One of my favorite quotes, "Fat is not a feeling."

"When we really recognize that it's so much easier for us to believe a lie, than to believe that we were lied to."

"The true essence of the healing is to recognize that the way that I choose to see myself will impact my life. The stories I believe about myself will impact my life."

I can't possible summarize the goodnesses that is this podcast. All I know, you need to listen to it.
