How would you respond if you had to endure something that would change your life forever? Adapting to an identity shattering event can be too much to overcome for even the strongest of people, yet finding new meaning and learning from the past can plant the seed for a future of growth, change, and success. Kalon Ludvigson - 4 time World Cup Champion, 2 time World Record Holder, and 12 time US National Champion in tumbling - learned this lesson when a freak accident put a halt to his gymnastics career and forced him to overcome something that would ultimately alter his life indefinitely. After going from one of the top gymnasts in the world to being confined to a wheelchair, Kalon learned to adapt, overcome, find happiness, hope, meaning, and even love.

Minerals are essential for proper body function.

Why is our western culture riddled with joint pain, stiffness, and circulatory issues? Because we don’t move enough. The human body wasn’t designed to sit in a chair or lie on a couch for hours on end.

In this jovial and educational episode Drew’s guest, Aaron Alexander, explains simple ways we can transform our posture and attitude with simple, effective, natural movements that don’t interfere with our craving for technology.

Many times in our lives we are told don’t quit, hang in there, or stick with it, but is it healthy to continue doing something that makes us miserable?

In the 1970s 4.2 million Americans were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and today there are 30 million people being treated for the disease. It’s obvious that something in the American diet changed. The amount of sugars being added to foods in addition to a food pyramid designed to sell agricultural products have left much of the nation unhealthy and addicted. To take back control of our health and nutrition we need an approach that satiates us and allows our bodies to heal themselves. Enter the keto diet. While not new and definitely not a fad diet, keto immediately impacts blood sugar levels and reduces the amount of medication necessary to keep insulin levels in check.   Drew welcomes Lauren and Mary of Fearless Keto. A mother-daughter team dedicated to providing support to women and girls who want better health but have difficulty breaking past eating patterns. Lauren struggled with committing to a healthy lifestyle in spite of the direction of her mother, Mary, who is a Certified Dietician. Both women share the story of what motivated them to create a support group and to provide products help people gradually adopt a keto lifestyle.     Drew’s new book Complete Keto: A Guide for Transforming Your Body and Your Mind for Life is now available!

The producers made her wear a sports bra and tight shorts throughout the episode, which she says was uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The relationship between her and her client, JD, started out as fun and adventurous but after overhearing JD complain to the show’s producers about her training style she started to notice other cracks in their working relationship. Fallon says JD would say he couldn’t make the workouts and then would post pictures of burgers and beers. She felt let down since she was only there to help him.

You almost have to have a detective license these days to get “real” food at the grocery store. Labeling is intentionally misleading to consumers who believe “all-natural” actually means the product is truly all natural. The best place to get food that contains beneficial nutrients is the farmer’s market or the local butcher. Drew’s guest, The Fat Burning Man – Abel James, shares his Wild Diet, which he describes as somewhere in between the paleo and primal eating plans. Drew and Abel take us behind the scenes of their reality TV shows, where we learn how someone can wear a full-size bacon costume and still look at themselves in the mirror every morning.   Key Takeaways: [4:54] What exactly is the Wild Diet and what makes it different than Paleo?

Focusing on clients’ needs is something that has always been important to the trainer, Steve Pfiester. Even during his early days of training, he recognized it was necessary to understand all aspects of physical therapy in order to be the best trainer he could be. His recent Fit to Fat to Fit experience is another example of how he gives of himself to benefit his clients, both physically and mentally.

Our kids pick up on everything we do. They notice how we treat ourselves, how we treat each other and how we treat them. If you take care of yourself physically and mentally, they are more than likely to mimic you and understand the importance of self-care.

Knowing what you are good at and not good at can save you lots of money, just ask Chris Powell. He figured out (by trial and error) he was a much better trainer than a businessman. He openly admits to his hard times and shares how living in a bitter place transformed him to become the friend, husband, father and trainer he is today.
