Open Sky Fitness Podcast — Fitness & Nutrition
Open Sky Fitness Podcast

Rob & Devon Dionne have been in the health and fitness world for over a decade. Devon is a Holistic Nutrition Counselor and GYROTONIC® Instructor. Rob is a certified personal trainer with NASM, holding advanced certification, CES, PES, MMA, and Weight Loss Specialist. He’s also a level 1 Crossfit Instructor. This husband and wife team redefine what it means to be healthy in this fast pasted, hectic world we live in.

The Open Sky Fitness Podcast is perfect for men and women who are trying to get back in shape after neglecting their health after years of focusing on their jobs or building a family. Remember what it was like when you were 20 years old? Diet and exercise wasn’t a thing. If you worked out for a few days or stopped eating cheese burgers for a week, you’d drop ten pounds. Too bad we can’t live in that reality forever. Welcome to life after 30.

Rob & Devon would like to help you find the right path for this moment in your life. We don’t believe in going on a diet. We don’t believe there’s only one way to achieving the body you want. We do believe in creating a lifestyle that allows you to have the best of both worlds…eating delicious food and being healthy at the same time. It is possible. Just listen to our show and you’ll see!

If you have questions you’d like us to answer on our show or via email, feel free to contact Rob. If you’d just like to write us a letter and give us your feedback, we’d love that too. Send everything to Rob@OpenSkyFitness.com

Thanks for listening! Enjoy the show.

Legumes and Grains: The Proper Way to Cook Them - Ep. 196 Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

Grains and legumes can be super tricky to add to your diet. First of all, based on your dietary needs, you may or no may not be able to consume them. Then, there is a right way and a wrong way to include them in your meals. It takes time, preparation, and organizing your life around it, but have no fear because we'll cover all of that for you in this episode.

In addition, Devon researched the healthiest cultures around the world and not only how they prepare their grains and legumes, but what other foods make up the majority of their diet and what kind of lifestyle they live that aides them in living to be over 100 years old.

Specifically, we'll talk about the following places:

Icaria
Okinawa
Japan
Singapore
South Korea
Iceland

If you do have an autoimmune disease, IBS, SIBO, Celiac disease, or Crohn's disease don't include grains, pseudo grains, or legumes to your diet at any cost.
