Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

Nick Koumalatsos is a former US Marine Raider turned serial entrepreneur. Until 13 or so, Nick's family had to relocate to a different city probably every 6 months. It was a different house to a different school to a different city. But this allowed him to gain incredible resilience over the years and added to his ability to be more malleable in life and in business. Nick and Chase explore some common struggles that service members have when transitioning out of the military and what served them the most. Nick also shares how he prioritizes what's most important and why his family will never take a backseat to the pressing day-to-day responsibilities at work. Giving up has never been an option for him and he will not let it be one for you. So, if you've been battling difficult situations and have felt pressurized by recent circumstances this episode will help you on so many levels.

A jump from the field of audio to health, nutrition, and fitness, wouldn't land perfectly when taken overnight. How then did Abel James, the man of the show today, get his mind and body dedicated to teaching and practising good health and nutrition?

He is also the host of the podcast, 'The Fat-Burning Man Show', which is at the top of the charts in many countries around the world. In the era of exhaustive diets and fitness regimes, listening and understanding what your body really needs can be difficult but not impossible. We need to get rid of the things we do not use and focus on that which needs to be prioritized. "I need to keto harder" or "I need to diet harder" are only rants to trick or force yourself into doing things to please others. This is where being like a kid can help. Children enjoy doing things and do it for the fun of the process and learning through it. What's more, they are invisibly rewarded for it later on in their lives. Something which doesn't give you immediate rewards, could have something better in store for your future. Practise healthy eating. Cutting out completely on the carbs or the proteins could just not go well with your body. Abel stresses the need to replace the term "fruits and vegetables" with "vegetables and fruits". Do you see why he does that? You need to reverse the priority you give to the two! Focus your energy in the right direction and invest in those that are good for you. Tune in to the complete episode for some amazing tips on healthy eating, exercise and living a life you love! Follow Abel @fatburningman Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Abel talks about his life with music and why audio engineering is also a tough grip to hold on to. The influence of his grandmother in his journey to a healthy living and balanced eating habits. Are we heading back to the lifestyle adopted by our previous generation? Abel talks about the increasing "fracturing" between different groups of people in our times. Know how to find the right foods for your body and why avoiding carbs may not work for everyone. Dieting and exercise should be a means to improve your life and not conquer it. Know why you're doing what you do and focus on the right direction.

The woos and wows of Metabolic Flexibility are no longer a secret! Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews former research biochemist and two-times New York times best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat, Robb Wolf. He is also the host of the Healthy Rebellion Radio, a weekly show featuring listener Q and A on all things diet and health, and serves on the board of Directors/Advisors for Specialty Health Inc, The Chickasaw Nation's "Unconquered Life" initiative and a number of innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability. Robb simplifies anybody's understanding of fitness and health by discussing everything from individual body responses to quantity of carbs taken to a lot of other essentials like maintaining electrolyte balance in the body and having sound sleep. Tune in for you to also get a peek into Robb's personal life and learn from him his extensive understanding of health and fitness! Rob broke the dogma around KETO diets and dove deeper into individual metabolic flexibilities, catering to people's nutrition needs suitably. Apparently Robbs wife has great metabolic flexibility and he understands from her how different it could be for every person as he says his physical self 'sucks' at the same. The fact that some of us are over-doing our fitness practices is also something to take a look at. There's a lot that needs to be thought of other than the social media pleasing and planning! Listen in as the duo also discuss rehydration, recovery and the function of different electrolytes in the body. You'd be surprised to know that you are totally unlikely to die because of consuming less amount of water and the fact that over-consuming the same could have a disastrous impact on your body. Also, sodium is one constituent you undervalue and demonize. Why? Because over-consumption of sodium could perhaps spare you from life threatening illnesses. But when the same is done with Potassium, another bodily electrolyte, the implications are costlier than you can imagine! Rob also has a thing with reading and researching topics other than health and nutrition, like economics and physics. It helps him increase the quality of living and growing as a person. And it would sure help you widen your knowledge levels and perhaps give you some time off of your routine work habits! To conclude, what this episode translates to is simple- metabolic flexibility is real and it's high time you break the myths around the 'perfect' diet because a happy you is a healthy you! Follow Robb @dasrobbwolf Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Learn about the 7-day carb test Robb practises with his clients and how it's helped break the dogma around KETO diets for everybody into it. Metabolic Flexibility is laudable and cool. Your sleep could actually improve if you understand that better. Hydration is water+ sodium and not just water. Lowering sodium consumption does not reduce hypertension though the opposite is true. Also know the importance of another major electrolyte- Mg. Around 650 of your body processes revolve around it! For children and adults aged 20-25, declining sleep could mean recovering less everyday. Sleep helps you recover and detox. Past 30, your metabolism takes a predictable trajectory. You need to learn to flatten the curve. Know the diet special drinks at Robb's. Also know why you should avoid beer and sugary drinks at all times.
