Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Craig Ramsay is here to show us that we no longer have to stress out over an intense workout regimen, and that building our physical and emotional fitness can be a fun and enjoyable process. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST It's no secret that exercise can be overwhelming when we go into it with the all-or-nothing mentality. This approach can lead to health activities that don't resonate with us emotionally and cause us to quit when we don't attain certain fitness goals. We can avoid this situation by finding fun and healthy ways to improve our fitness no matter where we are, and by building more excitement and laughter into the process. When we engage in workouts that really light us up inside and let go of the stress that comes with always having to be perfect, we are going to thrive emotionally, become healthier, and transform our physique. The Importance of Posture Most people are unaware of their poor posture and movement habits, and this can have a greater impact on our health than we realize. We don't have to seek out a yoga or pilates class to improve our posture and ability to stretch.  We can start to increase our awareness for how we move and better our bodies' alignment by using certain techniques right away. Craig recommends that we picture holding a washcloth in the back part of our armpit. Simply doing this is going to help us elevate the chest, push the shoulders back and down, and allow us to breathe better and fuel our bodies with more oxygen. This improvement in our posture will help us move throughout our day with intention, intensity, and purpose.   Stretch: A Reason To Wine When Craig trained the women from the hit TV show on Bravo, "The Real Housewives," they allowed him to change their workouts and also their eating plans, but had 1 very serious stipulation: He was not allowed to take away their wine! Since Craig was a trained contortionist, ballet dancer, and stretching expert, he had no problem coming up with a fun way to incorporate the ladies' love for wine and his love for stretching and moving the body. Craig knew about the scientific research showing that minimal amounts of wine can have benefits to our health and also chemically improve our ability to stretch.  That is when his new exercise class was born: Stretch - A Reason To Wine! His class includes a 5 wine tasting flight, which he pairs together with a stretch that matches the taste and experience of each wine.  He finds his participants feeling great, becoming more comfortable in a social fitness

In today's fast paced society driven by the "hustle and grind" mentality, sleep is usually the first thing to go. With the demands of the modern world, what practical steps for sleep hygiene can we practice every day to get the most emotional, physical, and spiritual fulfillment we need to live life well? Everyone knows that a good night's sleep will make us feel better, but science is showing the impacts from chronic sleep deprivation are more far-reaching than we realize. Not only will a lack of quality rest affect mood, feelings, and overall wellness, but it can also degrade our memory, decision-making abilities, life expectancy, and so much more. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST If we want to make drastic improvements to our mental and physical wellness, we get to ask ourselves an imperative question: How can we remedy our sleep habits and lifestyle to maximize our wellness and live life to our fullest potential?  On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and much more with Dr. Kirk Parsley, author of the upcoming book "Sleep To Win." During this exclusive, in-person interview, Dr. Parsley uncovers the tools and strategies we need to receive all the benefits that come from making sleep a priority in our lives.   Sleep To Win: Get 10% off your box of Sleep Remedy use code WF10 at checkout Listen To Episode 125 As Dr. Parsley Uncovers: How he met and developed a friendship with Robb Wolf How an impromptu interview brought him into the world of podcasting Learn about his journey from a Navy MD to his own wellness coaching practice Why he has always had a problem with simply "following the rules" How we can begin to prevent disease instead of just diagnosing and treating our ailments His dietary evolution that led him to a Paleo whole-foods style of eating The fact that traditional medical school focuses on diagnosing disease, and fails to teach proper strategies for nutrition, sleep, exercise, and how to optimize our health Why his Navy Seal patient's health and memory started to fade at a young age Why a restful night's sleep can add massive productivity to our days The data that shows fewer traffic accidents occur when school starts later in the day The ways our lifestyle can lead to years of sleep deprivation Why children receiving more sleep reduces delinquency, drug use, emotional disturbance, and injury in sports The st

With the array of health tools at our disposal in today's digital landscape, how can we use wellness technology in a new era to create and maintain better health? From the apps that track our sleep and movement to the genetic testing that can help us design the ideal eating plan, our world is filled with powerful tools to quantify our lives. It's fascinating that we can monitor so many aspects of our lifestyle and utilize various tools to accelerate our  health and healing, but we also must ask a very important question: With advances in our digital world, how exactly do we use these new technologies to ensure long-term health and behavior change?

The truth is that no matter what narrative the monkey mind tells us, we are all powerful beyond measure. As we explore the depths of this physical and emotional intelligence on the Wellness Force and Wellness Force Friday podcasts, a common theme for all of us on the wellness journey is what type of message we tell ourselves when life is hard. A message that can either be based on love and abundance or in fear, tension, and scarcity. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  At the end of the day, it's no surprise that the "choice of the voice" comes from us and us alone. You’re probably thinking, “ah, hello, well duh, I know this.” But in this modern life, knowledge is simply not enough. It's embodying that knowledge to show up powerfully in our thoughts and actions that are most important when we get triggered. So then, what is the actual thing, or many things, that really stand in our way? One could say that it’s memories from our past, childhood traumas, or just things that happen "to us" instead of "for us," but the reality is that in the exact same moment of tension or fear, the exact opposite potential also exists. A potential where in that exact same second we can choose to step into our power. Not in some kumbaya-mystic-spiritual-bypassing kind of a way, but in a way where we decide to take that first and sometimes scary step into believing in our deepest core that we are powerful beyond measure. This truth of duality is 20 times more powerful than any nutrition program or CrossFit workout, and this is why today on the podcast you're hearing from Stephanie Quinn, a functional athlete and lifestyle coach for one of the most powerful wellness Force Friday shows to date. Today's show is about knowing and embodying our truth. As Marianne Williamson says: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us." Embodying An Attitude of Gratitude Stephanie: "Be aware of thy self and take action to make improvements and check your results. Awareness > Action > Adjustment (improvement, course correction). If you can use that for everything in your life you'll be successful. If you can be good at those steps you'll live well. It is, of course, easy to think positive thoughts when you're feeling positive. The real challenge comes in achieving positive flow when you aren't feeling that way. Giving in to gratitude is one of the most important personal characteristics that any human can have. Mountains of research prove that gratitude is a significant part of our happiness and success in life. Being grateful that the challenge is being presented because we know it's going to make us a better person, and looking at it like a puzzle we know can be solved allows us to see challenges as opportunities to grow."

With increasing access to a variety of foods and styles of eating, how can we make sure we receive the majority of nutrients our bodies need to thrive? ---> JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  While innovations in the food and shipping industries have made food more available, there have been unintended consequences that have come from this convenience. Not only has the way we process food damaged the nutritional integrity but the time it takes for food to reach our plates is diminishing the health benefits we once received. If we want to get the most nutrition from our diets, we have to ask the very important question: How do we find the style of eating that will increase our nutrient intake and have the greatest impact on our physical and emotional wellness? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic with Ronnie Landis, founder of Holistic Health Mastery. He shows us the tools and strategies we need to increase our nutrient absorption and find harmony in our health. Listen To Episode 122 As Ronnie Uncovers How to find out what diet is right for us, psychologically and metabolically. The biggest misconceptions about eating a raw foods diet.

Tips to get more nutrition through juicing and blending. The problems with having a dogmatic approach to our eating habits. How to find the balance between health and harmony. The damaging effects of the Standard American Diet. Storage and preparation methods to preserve the nutrient content of food. Why we should consume foods and beverages within a certain time period. The benefits of cleansing the body and allowing for a metabolic reset. The importance of having a wide array of health building nutrients in our diet. Top 3 Takeaways From Ronnie Landis We have to find the foods and nutrients that make sense for our individual bodies and lifestyle. It's important to make wellness a priority and devote our energy and resources to things that build our health. When we get closer to a natural whole foods diet, we can identify what pieces of our nutrition are helping or hindering our health. Power Quotes From Ronnie Landis "In order to discover what diet will work for our own unique lives, we have to be willing to listen to the body and awaken our intuition." - Ronnie Landis "We need to make cleansing and

It's no secret that the current condition of our toxic world makes it challenging to build sustainable health and avoid disease.

The time has come to ask ourselves a very important question: How can we create sustainable health while being faced with unsustainable environmental and agricultural condition? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic with Dr. David Minkoff. He shows us the tools and strategies we need to maintain optimum health in today's increasingly toxic world. Detoxification Should Be A Lifestyle In recent decades, the occasional 1 week or 30-day detox plan may have been sufficient for cellular cleanup. However, the increasing amount of toxins we are now exposed to calls for a more continuous approach. If we want to remove this waste from our bodies and build better wellness, detoxing has to be viewed as a lifestyle.   To cleanse these excess toxins that lead to unwanted health effects, we now must aid the body in their removal. This can be achieved in a few ways like making sure we sweat outside or in the sauna, adding detoxifying foods into our diets, and using proper supplementation.  Listen To Episode 121 As Dr. Minkoff Uncovers: How to build sustainable health given the poor conditions of the environment. What may be causing such a massive increase in autism and childhood cancer. The dangerous effects of heavy metal toxicity. Ways to avoid excess toxins and remove them from the body. How to remedy an amino acid deficiency. The pervasive issues that stem from poor gut health. Why detoxing should be an ongoing part of our diet and lifestyle. Why women should detox before pregnancy. How to maintain healthy levels of testosterone. How the body prioritizes the use of nutrients. Ways we can address a protein deficiency in the body. How we can influence our genetic expression through lifestyle. Why having a strong and clear life purpose can help us build sustainable health.

So our brains and guts have an incredibly powerful connection. So powerful in fact that with the right nutrition, we can use foods to heal our brain, and to energize, and invigorate our nervous system. But if our lifestyle becomes filled with processed foods full of artificial ingredients, refined carbohydrates, and sugar, over time our brains begin to face an energy crisis. We're talking about this with Amy Berger, the Author of The Alzheimer's Antidote and Nutrition Counselor at Tuit Nutrition. Amy's uncovering the different parts of the brain that have a connection to Alzheimer's, and shining a big spotlight on the scientific reach about how a low-carb and higher fat diet can help fight chronic neurodegenerative diseases, memory loss, and cognitive decline.

Have you noticed that an over-obsession with health research and chasing the symptom rabbit down all the black holes online can create an unhealthy lifestyle? There is a term for an obsession with excessive elimination diets, and being overly concerned with avoiding foods you believe to be harmful: It's called orthorexia. Being obsessed with your health sounds like a great thing on the surface when you're dealing with disease or physical distress, but the truth is that we as humans tend to have a fundamental flaw: Thinking that more analysis and more testing will lead to better wellness results. On this podcast with Dr. Michael Ruscio, we're discover the underlying issues that cause this need for perfection, and how to focus in on the few lab tests and strategies that will have the most impact on our well-being.

Get ready for an incredible podcast as we discuss self-sabotage, and how to bring our destructive subconscious patterns into awareness. Why do we sometimes act against our own best interests when on some level, we also know what's best for us? The answer lies in our subconscious motivations.  Most of our unconscious thoughts and patterns were learned at an early age and programmed deep into our biology.  We all can greatly benefit by understanding how our subconscious mind affects our health and wellness. The good news is, we have the ability to bring the unconscious realm into our conscious awareness. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST As you'll learn on the podcast, there is great liberation in giving ourselves more space to feel, and understanding our underlying motivations of why we do what do.  When we begin to take a true emotional inventory, we can turn off these negative patterns that run on autopilot. This allows us to gain more self-awareness, shift our internal narrative, and point our lives in a new direction. How Our DNA Keeps Us Safe, but Can Lead To Self-Sabotage. Our DNA wants us to stay safe.  Unfortunately, this basic survival mechanism is causing unwanted consequences in our modern day society.  The ancestral fears that used to be of real concern from a survival standpoint now manifest themselves as different forms of anxiety and imagined fears. The problem is, these imagined fears can create biological responses similar to those caused by actual survival situations.  Playing out these imagined fears on a regular basis is wrecking havoc on our nervous system and internal well-being.  It can be challenging to uncover these fears, because many live in our subconscious mind and have been perpetuated for years. Not only do these imagined fears have negative affects on the physical body, but they hold us back from taking action, achieving goals, and moving our lives closer to a desired vision. There are ways to uncover how these survival mechanisms negatively affect us.  We must take an emotional inventory and then learn to distinguish between legitimate concerns and our imagined fears.

How to cross the bridge between information and implementation. Ways to avoid the negative narrative, and re-write thoughts of abundance. How to find the underlying motivation behind self-sabotage.
