245. Amoila Cesar, BODi Super Trainer & Strength Coach Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Growing up as one of seven siblings with a single mom, resilience was instilled in Amoila Cesar from a young age. After moving to Los Angeles to get his start working in fitness, he worked at LA Fitness until going out on his own — taking on personal training clients as an independent trainer. That leap of faith changed everything for him. Now, he's leading hundreds of thousands on their fitness journeys, pushing people beyond what they thought possible and changing lives as a BODi Super Trainer. Plus, he still works one-on-one with professional athletes and A-list celebrities (including Two Chainz and Julius Randle among others). In today's episode, he talks about the challenges that came hand-in-hand with success, and how he prioritizes self-care today to be his best.

244. Elizabeth Cutler, Co-Founder of Peoplehood & SoulCycle Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

To say that Elizabeth Cutler has been a major influence in the wellness industry would be a drastic understatement. The SoulCycle co-founder has been name-dropped on this show dozens of times by other founders as an OG inspiration. And today, I'm catching up with her to talk about her newest company with co-founder Julie Rice, Peoplehood. Described by The New York Times as "SoulCycle without the bikes," you can think of Peoplehood's gathers (that's what they call a class) as fitness for your relationships.

Elizabeth fills us in on the benefits of this type of communication opportunity, why she believes the concept is more important than ever post-pandemic in the midst of a global loneliness crisis, and her hope for the company moving forward just a week after opening their Chelsea flagship. Plus: How she got through the emotional difficulty of stepping away from SoulCycle in 2016, and the best-practice advice she'd give any aspiring entrepreneur.

Show notes

How have I never had an expert on the show to talk about all things gut health? Welcome Dr. Will Cole, a leading functional medicine expert who consults people around the world via webcam, having started one of the first functional medicine telehealth centers in the world, to the show! Named one of the top 50 functional and integrative doctors in the nation, Cole specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing a functional medicine approach for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and brain problems. And today, I'm chatting with The New York Times best-selling author about gut health. We cover good-for-your-gut foods (or as he puts it, foods that love you back), the mind-gut connection, and what shameflammation is.

At 19, Margo Hayes made history as the first woman to ascend two of the most revered climbs in the world – La Rambla in Spain and Biographie in France. In today's episode, she talks about how it felt to find success early on in her career — as well as the sting of not going to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She also opens up about a recent health struggle, how it feels to be a public person as a self-proclaimed introverted extrovert, and what she's looking forward to now beyond the wall.

242. Lindsay Arnold, 'Dancing With The Stars' Pro & Founder The Movement Club Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

During the COVID pandemic, 'DWTS' pro Lindsay Arnold started to ask herself "what's next?" After more than 10 years dancing on national television, the new mom says in today's episode that she was looking forward to a new chapter — both as a mom and within fitness. After becoming a certified personal trainer, Lindsay started working on the programming for her new program while pregnant. "It gave me purpose and helped me stay accountable," she says.

For today's episode, she talks to us about how she got here: From what it was like going to her first audition for 'So You Think You Can Dance?' to the unexpected call that had her moving to Los Angeles in 24 hours. She confesses her "favorite celebrity partner" from the past, and if she expects to ever return back to the show after baby no. 2. Plus: What it's like navigating the spotlight, and her advice for anyone struggling to start a fitness routine.
