Still Thriving at 100 Years Old |Dr. John Day Feb 21, 2018

Show notes

At 44, Dr. John Day was overweight and suffering from insomnia, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol and on six medications. He knew he needed to make a change. While lecturing in China, he heard about a remote mountainous area known as Longevity Village, which is a wellness Shangri-la free of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, depression and insomnia, where living past one hundred -- in good health-- is not uncommon. In the hope of understanding this incredible phenomenon, Dr. Day, decided to spend some time in Longevity Village. He learned everything he could about this place and its people, and met its centenarians. His research revealed seven lessons that work in tandem to create optimal health. He applied these rules to his own life, and 6 months later, he'd lost thirty pounds, dropped on hundred points off his cholesterol and twenty-five points off his blood pressure, and was even cured his insomnia. His new book is called The Longevity Plan and you can learn all about it in today's episode.

Wake Up to the Joy of You! | Agapi Stassinopoulos Dec 20, 2017

Show notes

A few months ago, I was heading to a wedding in Malibu, driving with my friend Agapi. And once again, I had the pleasure of experiencing first-hand the "Agapi Magnetism," which can only be explained as the ability to ignite a room with love and JOY the moment she walks in. She lights up the space like pure sunshine.

Today, we're talking to Agapi about life, meditation, happiness... basically, a lot of stuff. So just tune in and stick around for a short, guided meditation.

Agapi Stassinopoulos is a bestselling author and speaker who inspires audiences around the world. In her previous book, Unbinding the Heart, she shares her life's adventures and experiences...which have been many...including her new venture of conducting workshops for Thrive Global, a company founded by her sister, Arianna Huffington, to help change the way we work and live. In her new book, Wake Up to the Joy of You, Agapi created 52 Meditations and Practices for a Calmer, Happier Life. Its focus is to help you let go of what doesn't work and instead create a life that you really want.

How to prevent heart disease | Dr. Aaron Baggish Nov 08, 2017

Show notes

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. And yet, it's one of the most preventable...through exercise! Listen to this shocking fact: Treating a patient with heart disease costs more than $20,000 per year, per person. That means that the country could save almost $40 billion a year by just getting about 25% more Americans to exercise moderately. Those numbers are staggering!

Which is why I am thrilled to introduce you to a doctor who knows a lot about the heart. Dr. Aaron Baggish, M.D. He is the Director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at the Mass General Hospital Heart Center in Boston. He's also a doctor who knows a lot about the heart specifically as it relates to sports. Dr. Baggish is a medical director for the Boston Marathon and serves as team cardiologist for the New England Patriots, the Boston Bruins, the New England Revolution, the US Men's and Women's Soccer teams, and the US Rowing team. And if you have a favorite sports team that's not listed, don't hold that against him! You're still going to want to hear what he has to say about his ongoing research which focuses on heart function and heart disease in athletic individuals.

In this episode, you'll discover...

Is too much exercise bad for your heart?
What types of food are best for a strong heart?
What types of tests should young athletes get before they participate in high intensity sports?

Eradicating Breast Cancer | Dr. Susan Love Oct 18, 2017

Show notes

Approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. And with each mammogram, most women have a fleeting thought about the possibility of getting a positive diagnosis.

Over the years, there's been continued controversy about the best ways to detect and treat breast cancer. Breasts represent much more than just a body part - they're an important symbol of our femininity and sexuality. But, the possibility of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis ignites fears and questions in all of us. On today's show we have Dr. Susan Love. She's the author of the enormously popular Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book. Susan's a distinguished surgeon and her life focus has always been to accelerate breast cancer research and eventually eradicate it. She talks about her experiences with chemotherapy, the current research for preventing and treating breast cancer, and the future.

Don't Ignore Your Pelvic Floor! | Dr. Julie Reil Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

Let's talk about something that's not often discussed...your hoo ha, cha cha, lady flower, va-jay-jay. Whatever you call it… it's a fact, your vagina and its surrounding areas will undoubtedly change as time goes by. As you go through your 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, you'll see that just like every other part of your body, your vagina is getting older. Even though every woman, and every vagina, is different, there are some common transformations that happen with each decade. Because of the embarrassment or uncomfortable nature of discussing the topic, many times we're typically uninformed and unprepared for the realities of our aging lady parts! That's about to change, because today's podcast guest, Dr. Julie Reil is here to talk about how to keep everything "down there" healthy and active. Julie is an internationally recognized physician, women's health and nutrition advocate, educational speaker, and Women's Voice author.

Today, I'm so excited to have on the show a man who needs no introduction...the one and only Dr. Oz. He has won seven Daytime Emmy Awards for "The Dr. Oz Show" and is Professor of Surgery at Columbia University.

What is the single biggest cause of aging?
What is the single most under-appreciated problem in America
What you can do on a daily basis can extend your healthspan (that period of life when you're free from disease and you're thriving.)
What's the next biggest trend in medicine?
Plus... Short on cash? Find out if buying organic produce really worth the extra money?

Recently, Dr. Oz was here in Park City, doing a little skiing, and helping launch the Blair Education Center and the new Park City LiVe Well Center…a beautiful new addition to the Park City Hospital. It really embodies the community's commitment to preventing disease and promoting well-being.

He's a true pioneer and champion in personal wellness, and his plan, The Regimen, is a daily checklist that shows you what to eat, what to take, and what to do to improve your health now!

Everything You Need To Know About Going Vegan | The Badass Vegan Jul 20, 2017

Show notes

If you've been thinking adding more beans and leafy greens to your daily meals, or even tapping into your inner herbivore and swapping out meat completely, then this podcast episode is for you. This week, I speak with John Lewis. You may know him as the Badass Vegan. He commands the attention of everybody in a room with his 6-foot physique, toned arms, and smile the size of the sun.

After experiencing some health issues in 2004, John's doctor suggested that excessive animal protein consumption just might be to blame. So he took on a 30-day NO-MEAT challenge, which was an unlikely move for a gym rat who played college basketball. Even though his friends and family weren't convinced at first, after his 30-day experiment he felt better than ever. The rest is history.

Beyond his Badass Vegan nickname, John is an in-demand public speaker, personal trainer, and entrepreneur with a mission to bust traditional vegan stereotypes and educate the world about plant-based nutrition and eating more consciously. He's been featured everywhere from Muscle & Fitness to Men's Fitness, to Maxim and even Sports Illustrated. In fact, you might have seen him highlighted with my friend Tony Horton in a P90X TV ad.

Show notes

We're talking about cellular toxicity. It's not a topic you hear a lot about, and yet it can be the underlying cause of so many issues including gut problems, a sluggish metabolism, and even the inability to focus throughout the day. Dr. Dan Pompa is considered to be one of the world's leaders in healing your cells. His years of extensive research have enabled him to help others suffering from all kinds of health issues.

He's a walking testimony of the body's amazing aptitude for healing itself. Dan's 3-year battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome completely wiped him out. The debilitating effects included…anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, panic attacks...and the list goes on. His journey of bottoming out and then coming back to be one of the most vital, vibrant people on the planet is a story you're going to want to hear! It really is nothing short of a miracle. In his book, Cellular Healing Diet, he lays out a plan that helps you heal your cells so you can revitalize your body, lose weight, and maximize your health.
