Coach. Podcaster. COACHCASTER.

Life transitions can be difficult, stressful, and even overwhelming. In my experience, none were more trying than my transition from civilian to soldier back to civilian again. And I am not the only one. Military transition continues to be one of the biggest hardships service members go through - and many have been in combat!

There is good news though, there are in fact people and services we can utilize to help guide us through these transitions, people who have done it themselves and have your best interest at heart. As a former Staff Sergeant in the United Sates Army, active duty 2003-2009, I hear my fellow soldiers struggling the same way now, years later, that I did over ten years ago. This must stop.

We have the responsibility to connect with them and keep moving forward in life and on to the next mission.

Strong at the broken places, this is how I would describe my life's journey of personal development and growing as a human being. Through many trials, severe physical physical and emotional traumas I have been challenged in ways I never planned for... but that's it, right? We never ask for these challenges, we never know these tests are coming. Looking for the gift inside of every obstacle is not easy work but it is the most necessary work.

When they met in college, they had a lot on their plates. Kent trained with the Japanese Olympic Judo team, painted as a muralist for the city of Los Angeles, and competed internationally in Muay Thai. Meanwhile, Ryan trained with the U.S. Paralympic team while holding a 2nd degree black belt in Kendo.

With degrees in neuroscience and chemistry and economics, they challenged both their minds as well as their bodies. They set out to live life to the fullest. But in the search for a product that would keep them going, they realized that there wasn't anything that would help them accomplish more in a healthy and effective way.

They didn't want to take mysterious supplements or energy drinks when studying, training, or going out. Instead of something sugary and ineffective, they wanted clean, balanced energy... something that could be taken anywhere, anytime. So they launched a campaign for better energy... and they realized it wasn’t just them. In only three days, their first batch was fully crowdfunded and people raved about it - they were even recently endorsed by Joe Rogan and appeared on Shark Tank!

Sit back and buckle up because this episode is going to blow your mind! Matt Maruca, founder of The Light Diet and Ra Optics, spent years of his early childhood and adulthood chasing wellness only to be stuck spinning his wheels. So he set out to learn how to improve his health at the cellular level in hopes to rebuild his life from the inside out.

Matt learned that all modern chronic diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer’s, obesity, diabetes, autism, autoimmune diseases, and even depression are mitochondrial diseases, meaning that certain tissues’ mitochondria are severely damaged in those diseases, and that his issues were mitochondrial, too.

 He learned that mitochondria are “electromagnetic” in nature, meaning that how they process our food and make energy is controlled by light.  This explained why diet alone was not enough to actually cure his symptoms. It further clarified to me how so many people struggle with diet and exercise as their only strategies for health, and why focusing on diet, exercise, and supplements alone to improve health is like focusing only on the gas when trying to fix a car with a broken engine. He earned that more energetic light frequencies, especially blue light, exert the strongest effect on our body clock, and the less energetic frequencies such as red light have a comparatively minimal effect. He learned that getting UV light from the sun through our eye is critical to creating melatonin, before it can even be secreted in the hours after the sun sets. So, he began going outside in sunlight during the day to make melatonin, and wearing blue light blocking safety goggles at night to allow his melatonin to be secreted and his not looked back since!

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five U.S. adults will experience mental illness in their lifetime, and most end up paying more for treatment than they would for physical health conditions. While this is an alarming truth, family Doctor William Sears and neurologist Vincent F. Fortanasce - have positive news: it’s possible to treat and even prevent the onset of mental illness with the right medication or even WITHOUT medication at all, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.

In their groundbreaking new book, The Healthy Brain Book, Sears and Fortanasce team up to bring readers an all-ages guide to having a calmer, happier, sharper brain, whether experiencing “normal” mental and emotional burnout or wrestling with diagnosed illness. The good doctors explain that while the brain is a complex organ, the diverse set of mental and emotional challenges we have stem from one cause: imbalance in the brain. Their work will help those struggling to thrive and get their brain back in balance by teaching readers the following:

• What we think can change how well we think

• The role of inflammation in the brain, and how food and activity can reverse it

• What drugs can enhance or suppress the brain’s ability to heal itself

• Actionable advice to improve your memory, promote learning, and prevent common brain ailments

David Krantz takes a uniquely interdisciplinary angle to wellness, flow, and bio-individuality and provides some new perspectives and value to living a life ever forward! Specifically, David explains how using genetics to biohack nutrition, cannabis, and other psychoactives can unlock your highest human potential in your fitness, nutrition, and mindset. 

David is a coach specializing in using genetics and epigenetics to dial in personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies for creative professionals; however, his background originally was in music and electronic music production. After experiencing some unusual health challenges in his mid-20s while touring as an artist he was forced to find answers on his own. Now he is focused on helping high performers to improve their overall resilience, focus, and mental functioning to help them avoid the problems he went through and move towards the opposite of burnout. 

"The fields of epigenetics and nutrigenetics are still in their early days, and a great deal more is to be learned, but experts agree: Though evidence will continue to evolve over the next decade, we have enough good evidence to make it useful now."

In 2006 Sharon Brown a mother at her wit’s end. She had a six-year old son who had been on and off antibiotics since birth, suffering from chronic sinus infections, ear infections, and respiratory infections. After a particularly upsetting meeting with his first grade teacher, who was recommending ADD medication – on top of everything else – Sharon knew there had to be another way.

She began searching for alternative solutions, but information was hard to come by – this was before you could find the answer to everything online. Finally, she came across the concept that bone broth could help strengthen the gut lining, and, therefore, support the immune system. After three months her son had not needed antibiotics once. Six months went by. Then nine. Then a year. Blake hadn’t gone to the doctor’s office once. They knew we were on to something!

You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You work hard, but you aren’t quite where you want to be. And to be honest, you’re not sure exactly where you want to be let alone how to get there.

You need time to figure out what comes next, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Or maybe you don’t even have a framework to figure out what the right goals are for you. As a result, you lack consistency. You lock focus. You lack clarity. If you’re looking for balance, focus, consistency, and clarity, then tune in to hear how Jim will teach you to use your failures to your advantage, turn the obstacle into the way, and "reveal your path"!
