Slowly and surely (although it always feels like it's taking far too much time) spring is coming and right behind it will be summer!

 

Summer means, heat, swimming and spending a lot our time outside.

 

It also means things like showing more skin, more time at the beach, lounging by the pool and exposing more of your body to other people...which can be stressful.

 

The fact that terms like 'summer body' exist shows a certain level of concern or importance to having others look at, or at least notice, you. 

 

The fear, pressure or motivation (depending) on how you look at it, can cause people to do crazy things (eat certain ways, train certain ways, starve themselves, etc.) to meet the visual requirements they're trying hard to achieve.

 

Let us help you. It is possible to lose a significant amount of weight without having to sacrifice your health, life or sanity?

 

It's not easy, but it can be done and it can be simplified.

 

The purpose of this podcast is not just creating a successful plan for this year, but getting it right the first time so you don't have to worry about the 'summer bod' conversation ever again. 

 

On today's show, I'm excited to have with us Lanie Smith.

 

Lanie is a Registered Art Therapist, owner/founder of Integrative Art Therapy, and a Transformational Wellness Coach. She's watched so many clients learn how to “bring the inside out and the outside in” to allow greater ease and flow in their life.

 

Her passion is to help you recognize your innate wisdom and beauty as it’s reflected in the trees, mountains, wildlife, and in your creativity.  

Creative expression and nature are powerful tools to guide us.

 

Lanie strives in helping clients discover that inner connection that she believes we all have. Lanie thinks that "Dis-ease and chronic stress are the direct results of misalignment and imbalance" and find that connection within yourself is the way for you to feel more connected and grateful.  

 

The purpose of this podcast is to learn more about what art therapy is and why it may be helpful for you. 

 

 

We know you know that exercise is good for you, that's no longer even debatable.

 

Unfortunately, most health professionals downplay how powerful meeting the movement requirement is for your body.

 

Exercise positively influences cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease, etc... basically every health condition is affected in a positive way.

 

Yes, it's a panacea. Every possible function you can think of in your body improves when you've been exercising.

 

Most people leave a lot of the benefits of exercise in the tank - meaning... they're not meeting all of the requirements for exercise and could be benefiting even more.

 

The purpose of this podcast is to discuss where the biggest gaps are in your training and to give you suggestions and tips on how to fill them and get even better than you already are.

 

It's important that you spot a bad idea as soon as possible.

 

Ideas (linked together they are called a philosophy) form the basis of your life. It is only your ideas that can drive your actions.

 

If you're not getting what you want in life, you should first and foremost look at the ideas that you hold.

 

Today we examine an article on the Forks Over Knives website from a doctor who has spent "hundreds, if not thousands of hours, over the past several years understanding human biology, evolutionary medicine, and anthropology" to tell us why the paleo diet is bunk. 

 

We're sure he is honest in his assessment and work ethic - however, millions of hours of work done under an incorrect idea - still leads to the same dead-end - error.

 

The purpose of this podcast is to discuss the evidence presented in the Forks Over Knives Article and point out the errors in reasoning.
