5 Proven Practices for Cultivating Body Respect Nov 12, 2014

Show notes

Episode 25: In today's podcast, I talk about five really important practices for cultivating body respect and undoing a dysmorphic mindset. There are rituals and habits we perform or think about subconsciously that contribute to a negative outlook on your unique and utterly awesome body. These practices are a mixture of physical things, mental things and things you actually need to commit to from this day forth. Some have to do with the mind, others have to do with the body. Altogether, these five practices come together to form a nudge in the right direction in regards to how you love and respect your body. Please enjoy this episode, and start putting these five practices into practice today. In this episode, I talk about: I Had the "Perfect Body" & I Still Wasn't Happy in MindBodyGreen The importance of respecting and honoring others’ bodies Dressing the body you have now (pay attention to the call to action!)

Justin Janoska: Probiotics, Cruciferous Vegetables and Eating Your Fats Nov 05, 2014

Show notes

Episode 24: Today we’re talking with a man that’s on a mission to challenge pretty much everything that’s mainstream in regards to health and nutrition. He knows that the government is misleading when it comes to nutritional factors such as cholesterol, saturated fat, and dairy, and similarly, he also believes the media is preaching the wrong message in terms of fitness and what it means to have a strong mind body connection. Justin Janoska does not pick sides when it comes to different diets such as vegan, paleo, atkins and the likes because he believes every single body is made differently and therefore must be treated with individual care and attention. Justin’s approach revolves around reconnecting people back to nature; how our ancestors lived by embracing a sound and basic relationship with the most nutritious foods available to us- foods that are critical to the health of our genome. With this goal in mind, he created his blog Engineer your Genome where he provides guidance and concrete health information as well as individual coaching. Here's what we talk about today: Why the gut is your "second brain" and how to populate more good bacteria Cruciferous vegetables and the importance of consuming plenty of micronutrients Why no single food will EVER make you "fat" Competition prep and unhealthy dietary restriction All the wonderful things about eating fat Being balanced in your nutritional choices and eating based on activity levels Why social media is a double-edged sword Wanna link up with Justin?

Scott Abel: Correcting the North American Diet Mentality Oct 22, 2014

Show notes

Episode 22: "Just because you have a hot body, doesn't mean you have a hot life." Scott has counseled thousands of women on overcoming eating disorders, body image troubles and self-esteem issues. Scott believes that a total mind AND body approach is the key to transforming not just your physical appearance but your overall mental and emotional health as well. With this approach he has enabled his clients to transform not just their bodies but their LIVES with his inside out approach rather than the conventional outside-in approach that is predominantly used by the diet and fitness industry. I really resonate with Scott because he has been teaching a message that I’ve only just started preaching this year and that is: fitness does not necessarily mean leanness. Though Scott knows how to accomplish both of these goals, he is direct in his approach and always puts health first. He doesn’t cultivate imaginary expectations in his clients, but instead he gives them the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in being the best version of themselves. Here's what we discussed in this episode: Why being a health coach is just as much about the mental side as it is about the physical side Why it's a huge red flag when a coach tries to make your health and nutrition complicated. It should be simple, dangit! Denise Rutkowski (this is both sad and shocking) The French Paradox and the North American Diet Mentality The Cycle Diet It's not about WHAT you eat, it's about HOW you eat Follow Scott on all his great social media channels: http://scottabel.com Facebook: facebook.com/CoachScottAbel Twitter: twitter.com/CoachScottAbel Youtube: youtube.com/scottabelcoaching Check out all of Scott's great books HERE [Tweet "Tired of believing that diet needs to be complicated?

Jordan Younger: Finding Balance and Food Freedom after Veganism Sep 24, 2014

Show notes

Episode 20: Jordan Younger is a 23-year-old health and lifestyle blogger living in Los Angeles. When she isn't writing about health on The Balanced Blonde, you'll find her on the yoga mat, in the kitchen, hiking the Malibu canyons and overseeing her clothing line, TBV Apparel. She is currently working on a book and an app that are also focused on the principles of leading a balanced, healthy lifestyle. I was really wanting to talk with Jordan after hearing about her on Good Morning America when she left her vegan lifestyle to pursue a diet that was more tailored to her needs. She received such harsh backlash from some of her followers, that I couldn't even imagine how tough that transition might have been. It's hard enough to make life-changing decisions on your own, but it's so much more tough when you're in the spotlight and people expect certain things from you. I'm really excited to release this episode because I think EVERYBODY will learn something that can be applied to their own life and experiences. Jordan is so incredibly open and honest, that I think she'll say many things that will stick with you. Her story is not one that you want to miss. Here's what we discuss in this episode: Why Jordan originally started veganism and how being labeled started to control mindset towards food, as well as her life The "aha" moments she experienced that really opened up her eyes to her anxieties about non-vegan foods, weight gain and animal ethics How the beliefs we create in our head overtime lead to invisible, counterfeit consequences Jordan's number one tip for those seeking recovery The importance of yoga for mind body awareness Follow Jordan on all her great social media channels: http://www.thebalancedblonde.com/ Instagram Twitter Facebook Pinterest I also had the utmost pleasure to be on her blog for a segment she's been doing called the Recovery Series. You can read that interview I did with her here: http://www.theblondevegan.com/2014/09/19/recovery-series-5-madelyn-moon/ I really opened up about my own recovery for this interview, so I hope you enjoy learning a little more about my own food freedom process.

Jimmy Moore: Keto Clarity, Living Low Carb and Facing Emotional Baggage Sep 17, 2014

Show notes

EPISODE 19: In January 2004, Jimmy Moore made a decision to get rid of the weight that was literally killing him. At 32 years of age and 410 pounds, the time had come for a radical change of lifestyle. A year later, he had shed 180 pounds, shrunk his waist by 20 inches, and dropped his shirt size from 5XL to XL. Since then, Jimmy has continued to shed weight and improve his health using a hight fat, low carbohydrate, Paleo diet. Jimmy Moore is the host of one of the highest ranked health podcasts, the Livin La Vida Low Carb Show, and the author of both Cholesterol Clarity and more recently, Keto Clarity. Jimmy managed to release both of these two books in under a year, and continues to surprise his friends, family and followers with his dedication to helping others. Jimmy has been one of my biggest supporters for the past two years. I would have had this interview with him LONG ago, but I wanted to get a little more comfortable with podcasting before I talked with him on my show to ensure that it was the best episode possible :) I can confidently say, I don't think we will disappoint. Here's a brief overview of what we discuss in this episode: Growing up with "crappy carbage" and how it led Jimmy to his discouraging 410 lb weight Dealing with your emotional baggage first, and then working on your relationship with food next An in-depth explanation on cholesterol & which foods are best/worst to eat for optimal levels The many benefits of ketosis and having a very high fat diet Why low carb is not a high protein diet (this is a crucial component of ketosis) The importance of loving yourself, especially if you're putting yourself out in the open like so many of us Links mentioned in this episode: Jimmy Moore and Dr. John McDougall CHIPMUNK version! Cholesterol Clarity Keto Clarity Jimmy's "Keto Eggs Recipe" (ummm, yum) [Tweet "Want to learn how to improve your cholesterol levels? Jimmy the @livinlowcarbman knows his stuff"] DON'T FORGET!
