Coach. Podcaster. COACHCASTER.

Nick Shaw is the Founder and CEO of Renaissance Periodization, former competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, and coach to world-class athletes such as CrossFit Games Champions, Olympians, UFC fighters, and Navy SEALs. Nick, along with his wife Lori, co-host the RP Strength Podcast.

To many an athlete, or even just the avid gym-goer, the lockdowns presented a ton of challenges to staying in shape. However, both Chase and Nick view these “limitations” from a different perspective. They discuss how having no choice but to be creative with their workouts has forced their bodies to deload. “We always think that more is better,” says Nick, referring to his fellow athletes. “It’s short-term thinking.”

A deload allows the body to “catch up” after a build-up of fatigue throughout an intense period of training. Coupled with periodization—well-rounded, systematized training to maximize productivity—more experienced athletes with specific fitness goals will be able to avoid burnout, let their body rest and recover, and maintain their motivation to hit the gym.

"Eat enough, sleep enough. Do those two things and your recovery is probably going to be pretty good."

Listen in as Chase and Nick go on to discuss best practices for growing as an athlete, with particular emphasis on the often-underestimated factors of nutrition, rest, and, most especially, doing the small monotonous things every day. In Nick’s own words: “Little, gradual improvements over time is the success secret of consistently successful people.”

"We’re energetic beings, and if you are not paying attention to your energetic body, and just paying attention to your physical body, there will be illness."

Today Chase speaks with Dr. Saman Faramarzi, a naturopathic doctor and Founder of SAFA Life and Wellness. The name of her concierge business doubles as both a portmanteau of her own name, as well as depicting the Farsi word safa, meaning “joy”. Joy, says Dr. Sam, is key to her role as a practitioner of self-healing.

“My responsibility is to meet my patients where they’re at,” says Dr. Sam. “So, my job is to open the door—create that space to go deeper.” Within the first 15 minutes of a consultation, she asks her patients to share their goals (interestingly, most of her patients wish to “feel lighter”). Many are ready to express themselves openly from the get-go, while others need a little more encouragement to open up. Regardless, for each and every patient, continues Dr. Sam, “we start with the deeper human being questions before we get into the physical symptoms. Then we start the healing.”

A human being is an energetic being. Chase and Dr. Sam go on to share their respective personal experiences dealing with the repression of trauma, and how they have suffered emotionally in the past as a result. One may look physically perfect on the outside, but be deteriorating on the “inside” to the point of experiencing actual outward symptoms. In Chase’s case, those symptoms included panic attacks and, in some cases, blackouts. Dr. Sam describes her process for helping patients unveil the source of grief and begin the process of healing by tapping into their chakra—the energetic level of being.

"For me, the biggest thing in healing is incorporating joy into it; so any time I talk to any patients about lifestyle changes or diet changes, the first question I ask them is: “What brings you joy?” I truly believe if there isn’t joy in life, healing won’t really happen."

Dr. Sam encourages all of her patients to commit to the process of healing—of growth—just as she is committed to their journeys. Commitment, she says, makes you immune to obstacles of all sizes and opens your eyes to every opportunity that brings you a step closer to achieving your goals.

“All the power is in the patient,” says Dr. Sam. “I’m only here to give you this information, help you, and work through the obstacles; but it’s your commitment to you.”

Key Highlights

• Dr. Sam shares what drew her to naturopathic medicine and self-healing as a preventive health measure.

• What do you need to know if you’re thinking of pursuing an M.D. in Naturopathy and what can you expect at naturopathic medical school?

• A large part of naturopathy is uncovering deep-rooted issues behind surface-level symptoms. Dr. Sam explains how she helps her patients discover those issues.

• Dr. Sam describes, medically, how to tap into your chakra. She also explains how

  grief affects a person from a biochemical and physiological perspective.

• Knowing your why and commitment to yourself are the two biggest steps to eliminating chronic illness in the long-term.

• Dr. Sam takes us on a tour of her place of work, the social wellness club Remedy Place.

Do you know how to be yourself? Have you taken the time to sit with yourself, learn who you are, and what you want out of life? Often times we delay our potential and our ability to step into our greatness because we are fighting our most natural identity, or even continue living in a confused state. Jessica Zweig is here to help us understand how we can create a conscious life, one that allows us to simply be ourselves. She teaches three main concepts on the path to significant growth; how to deal, how to heal, and how to thrive. Also, she explains why we all naturally crave a sense of belonging at our deepest core and how we can peel back the the blanket of loneliness that 2020 laid over many of us during the global pandemic.

We created Paleovalley Essential C Complex to be the most powerful, completely natural and organic source of vitamin C on the planet. In each serving you will get 750% of the RDI of vitamin C. 

Here's the part you'll love, especially if you understand the importance of eating foods in their whole food form.

With our Essential C Complex you will be getting a full spectrum vitamin C – not the isolated, synthetic form found in other products. It is made with not one but three whole, organic superfoods that are not only incredibly rich in vitamin C but also loaded with other nutrients and antioxidants.

Since vitamin C is a fragile nutrient, we use gentle, low temperature methods to dry each superfood. Third party tests have revealed that our Essential C Complex contains 450mg of vitamin C per serving. This makes our Essential C Complex gram-for-gram the most concentrated source of vitamin C of any natural product on the market.

If you are also intrigued by and have wanted to dig deeper into the multitude of health and wellness products of today, Sisun Lee is just the right person for you to listen to. Join Chase and Sisun on this episode as they disentangle the intricate loops behind wellness products and practices.

Sisun is the founder and CEO of More Labs, a consumer goods company building a wellness brand centered around helping you live your best life. One of their hero products is Morning Recovery, which is scientifically formulated to help you bounce back after drinking.

His journey began in the tech industry, where he was a product manager across companies like Facebook and Tesla, Uber and Bay Area. It was when Sisun visited Korea for the first time in 2016 that he realized people in Korea drank quite a lot of alcohol. The locals there would hand him hangover drinks every night and totally hit him wild. 

Things took an unanticipated turn when in 2017, he met a doctor at UCLA who had published on a particular hero ingredient in hangover drinks. Fuelled by the want for finding the best ingredients, he went to LA and started More Labs. Together, they’re now building wellness products to help people create the lives they have always wanted for themselves!

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? Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews Abel ‘Fat-Burning Man’ James, who is a number one best-selling author, a top-10 app developer, musician, radio talk show host, celebrity coach and entrepreneur. 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 has on the episode, said that he stresses on 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!

Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids: Not only does grass fed beef contain much higher levels of omega-3s than conventional beef, it also contains an ideal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids which is vital in helping control and reduce inflammation.

Elevated levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): 100% grass fed beef is one of the best sources of CLA. CLA exerts potent antioxidant activity. Studies have documented CLA’s ability to prevent diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

More vitamins and minerals: 100% grass fed beef contains more calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, beta-carotene and iron than grain-fed beef.It also has higher levels of B vitamins – specifically (thiamin (B1) and riboflavin (B2), as well as the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. These fat soluble vitamins enhance mineral and protein absorption and are believed to protect against cardiovascular disease.

Elevated concentrations of Glutathione: Glutathione is often called the body's "master antioxidant". It is a very powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from oxidation and DNA damage.

Good for the environment: Conventionally raised, grain fed beef is indeed terrible for the environment. However, 100% grass fed beef helps to regenerate soil and grasslands which, in turn, helps pull carbon out of the atmosphere and put it back in the soil where it belongs.

Remember the carefree days of childhood, when you didn't feel guilty about eating mountains of cereal with questionable nutrition? Well, now you can have your cereal and eat it too. We re-engineered that same great taste with grown-up ingredients for a game-changing cereal 2.0.

We use a natural blend of monk fruit, stevia, and allulose. Allulose is a “rare” sugar found in things like figs and maple syrup. It tastes just like “regular” sugar, but has almost zero glycemic impact and almost zero calories (less than 0.4 cal/g).
