Lisa is joined by Lee Boyce who talks about gender difference and strength training.
In Lee's own words:
I’ve done a lot of stuff in my career as a fitness professional. But I still use the same job description whenever I’m asked. I’m a trainer. I help people work out for results. And possessing that skill is what’s enabled me to land the opportunities I’ve achieved to this point.I don’t use fancy terms like “body transformation specialist” or “muscle mechanic”. I got to where I’m at by sticking to the basic tenets of my craft – and for me, that means never abandoning my number 1 pursuit: Fitness training and coaching clients. That’s the piece of the pie that puts a combination of my own fitness background, my school-based knowledge, and my time spent competing in varsity track, to good practice on a regular basis.
And keeping my allegiance there has directly or indirectly paid dividends in the form of being able to educate other professionals, land some pretty high-profile clients, teach college students, and achieve all the accomplishments you’ll see littered throughout this website. I won’t repeat them all here.Instead, I’ll use this section to give you the lowdown on what to expect hanging around this place.
REAL TRAINING. NO NONSENSE.
Just like the slogan of this website implies, you won’t have to filter through fluff or off-topic material to get to the goods. This site is dedicated to delivering training information and advice for a large demographic of people. There’s strength training, fat loss, muscle development, and conditioning advice that ranges from beginner level content to advanced content for experienced trainees. You’ll find most of this variety by keeping abreast with the work I have published in different print magazines (I’m usually on newsstands for something every month) and digital publications. In addition to this, my “training tips” section will highlight nuggets of fitness advice (or good exercises to try) for your convenience. As a whole, it’s a lot of content – I know – but the site makes it fairly easy to navigate through and also keyword search just what you might be looking for.
I use my blog section a bit differently than most fitness professionals. I don’t post too often, but when I do, you can count on a more editorial piece that highlights things I see in the fitness industry, and how they can affect the culture of fitness as a whole. Some of the subjects I choose to zero in on may open your eyes to a different perspective through a counter-intuitive lens.

Lisa is joined by Zen Honeycut, the Founding Executive Director of the non-profit, Moms Across America, a National Coalition of Unstoppable Moms with the motto "Empowered Moms, Healthy Kids." Moms Across America’s leaders created over 1,000 community events in all 50 states to raise awareness about GMOs, toxins in the food supply, and other environmental issues that pose risk to the health of our families. The organization’s mission is to educate and empower mothers and others with actions and solutions to create healthy communities. Zen Honeycutt and Moms Across America initiated the first glyphosate testing in America and successfully petitioned Costco to remove Roundup from their shelves. She is the author of UNSTOPPABLE, Transforming Sickness and Struggle into Triumph, Empowerment, and Celebration of Community, the director of a short film called “Communities Rising” and the co-founder of the recently launched program called “The Neighborhood Food Network” whose mission is to create a parallel food system, one street at a time.
SummaryIn this conversation, Lisa Davis and Zen Honeycutt discuss the dangers of fast food and the alarming levels of toxins found in popular fast food brands. They highlight the presence of glyphosate, a harmful chemical found in Roundup, in 100% of the tested samples. They also discuss the deficiencies in minerals and vitamins in fast food, which can lead to various health issues. The conversation emphasizes the connection between nutrition and behavior, highlighting the importance of organic food and the need to hold fast food companies accountable for their practices. Zen Honeycutt discusses the results of testing fast food chains for pesticide and heavy metal contamination. The testing revealed high levels of glyphosate, harmful pesticides, and heavy metals in popular fast food items. She highlights the importance of protein in breakfast and the negative effects of sugar on gut bacteria. Zen encourages parents to transition their children to healthier foods and shares tips on making organic food more affordable. She also discusses the detoxification of heavy metals and the potential risks of tetanus shots containing aluminum. Zen calls for consumer action through petitions and supporting organic food suppliers.
Takeaways

Fast food chains, including popular ones like McDonald's and Burger King, have been found to contain high levels of glyphosate, harmful pesticides, and heavy metals.
Protein-rich breakfasts are important for children's health and can help improve behavior and cognitive function.
Transitioning to healthier foods, such as organic and pasture-raised options, can have significant benefits for overall health and well-being.
Detoxification of heavy metals is possible through consistent efforts and testing, and organic pet food can help prevent health issues in pets.

Lisa is joined by Dr. Mark Goulston who shares where he shares what mortality is teaching him. Be sure to watch his video series, I'm Dying to tell you... on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Imdyingtotellyoudrmark
Dr. Mark Goulston is dying to tell you about what mortality is teaching him. He is a distinguished psychiatrist and death and dying specialist facing his own mortality and the universe is telling him to share what he's learned from 50 years of listening. He says that if he knew these things decades earlier, it would have changed his life for the better. Now you can learn them to change your life for the better... and you don't need to be dying to learn them.
Dr. Goulston, Fearing death is a universal human experience, what are some of the ways you’ve been able to welcome it with tranquility and fulfillment.
After receiving a challenging prognosis, with a 50 percent chance of survival even with the best of treatments, Dr. Goulston embarked on a journey of introspection, reflecting on the values that have guided his life and learning to embrace his own mortality with grace.
Throughout his career, Dr. Goulston has worked with dying patients, guiding many to peace in the eleventh hour. Having been witness to so many deaths—the good and the not so good—he now feels an urgency to share these profound insights and wisdom on how we can all prepare for a good death, navigate life's challenges, and find inner
Dr. Mark Goulston, MD, FAPA, is a board-certified psychiatrist, former UCLA professor of psychiatry, and author or coauthor of ten books translated into 43 languages, with 600,000+ copies in print and with his book Just Listen becoming the top book on listening in the world. He is also a death and dying specialist, having been mentored by Dr. Edwin Shneidman, a pioneer in the field, and having developed his lifesaving and mortality comforting empathic skills into an approach he calls, “Surgical Empathy,” through decades of working with suicidal patients and doing house calls to dying patients. He is the co-founder of the Deeper Coaching Institute, a division of On Global Leadership that works with clients who want to more deeply explore who they really are beyond conventional coaching. He hosts the highly ranked podcast My Wakeup Call and co-hosts the weekly radio show Hurt Less, Live More on UK Health Radio. He is also a former FBI and police hostage negotiation trainer. Check out his “I’m Dying to Tell You” series on Youtube and TikTok.The values that guided Dr. Goulston’s life, how he came to have no regrets, and how you can make sure to have a good death:

● Listening. Dr. Goulston has made a career out of it and has written the top book in the world about it. Deep listening, he says, was his main tool in working with suicidal patients for 35+ years, during which time none of them died by suicide. The main trick was not just to merely listen to something or someone, but to focus on what they were listening for. Nonjudgmentally search out that thing that is always lingering beneath and deeper below the surface and people will spontaneously open up.
● Generosity. More than ever, we live in a society that values self over others. But in society’s constant pursuit of material acquisition, Dr. Goulston finds that generosity has made his life richer and causes him to come from abundance rather than scarcity.
● Service. Through one life, thousands can be affected. Because of his deeply listening to suicidal patients, dying patients on house calls, and growing his own family, Dr. Goulston forged a career and personal life that not only elevated others, but was instrumental in his own life’s mission.
● Curiosity. We learn new things every day, but it’s a childlike curiosity that keeps us hungering for knowledge. Get excited about learning new things and see where continually asking why? takes you and may help
