The Jay Ferruggia Show

It's been way too long since I've done a solo episode of the Renegade Radio Podcast. So that's what I'm doing in this one. I compiled a list of listener questions you guys sent in. Then I worked through as many as I could, in as much detail as I could give. I start with a quick recap of the last few months, telling you what I've been up to. We also talk about relationships, training, nutrition, weed, CBD, WWE, marketing, books, and more. You'll also love the fact that I give fully detailed workouts with exercises, sets and reps for getting jacked in a variety of scenarios. Pour some coffee and get ready to go for a fast paced ride though my mind as we discuss: Show notes for this and every episode can be found at www.JasonFerruggia.com This episode is brought to you by Audio Books Click here (http://www.audiobooks.com/jay) to start listening to critically-acclaimed, best-selling audiobooks including some of my favorites like Essentialism, How to Win Friends & Influence People and The Art of Noncomformity!

Chronic disease is rising at an alarming rate and the current healthcare model is failing us. People are getting sicker with illnesses that are often preventable.

Chris is a globally recognized expert in functional medicine, Paleo nutrition and ancestral health. In his new book "Unconventional Medicine," he shows how combining proper diet and lifestyle with functional medicine can create a better healthcare model and provide more effective treatment to patients. If you want to learn the most effective ways to prevent chronic disease and enjoy glowing health you won't want to miss this episode.

If someone tried to harm you and your loved ones today could you stop them? Would you know what actions to take to ensure your safety? Or would you become another victim? Tony Blauer is my guest on Episode 200 of the #RenegadeRadioPodcast. He is the creator of the Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response self-defense system. SPEAR is the world's only behaviorally based self-protection method based on physiology, kinesiology, physics and psychology. Tony teaches SPEAR to students worldwide, including Law Enforcement Agencies, Military Units and First-Responders. I sat down with Tony to discuss how he first started in self-defense and how he developed the SPEAR system. Tony explains why he feels self-defense should be taught in one day and why technique means nothing in a violent confrontation. He details why most self-defense systems do not prepare people to defend themselves in violent situations, the role that fear play in self-awareness, tips for facing fear, and so much more. Topics Include: How he first started out in self-defense. 4:02 Why self-defense should be taught like CPR – in 1 day. 5:31 Why "Cheering isn't Coaching" and the difference between Technicians, Trainers and Coaches. 21:42 Why technique is useless in a violent confrontation. 22:51 Why "F*CK FEAR" isn't just a "tough guy" mantra. 34:47 Why fighting is just a small part of what Tony teaches. 38:37 Why most forms of self-defense don't prepare you to defend yourself in real violent encounters. 50:30 Why size matters in the streets. 56:34 Feigning fear to deal with real violent encounters. 1:00:40 Why knowing the science of an adrenaline dump can help you avoid a fight. 1:04:58 Why he teaches people to use physiology and physics, not techniques to remember. 1:07:30 Should you do something you fear every day? 1:07:54 Tony's advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. 1:12:41 Instincts and Intuition = Intelligence. 1:21:38 Tony's tips for becoming a more effective leader. 1:24:46 Tony's biggest weaknesses. 1:31:12 How to improve the training of police officers. 1:38:50 Should kids be exposed to controlled violence? 1:44:03 Listen to Renegade Radio: To listen, you can either hit the flash audio player below or browse the links to find your preferred format … Click here to subscribe via iTunes Click here to listen on SoundCloud Click here to subscribe via Stitcher Right-click here and choose "Save As"to download this episode This episode is brought to you by Four Sigmatic.
