Time to get fat - the right way! Evan DeMarco was a competitive athlete and nutritional entrepreneur who turned his energy, experience, and training to the formulation of pre-natal vitamins during his wife's 2012 pregnancy which led to an acute interest in the area of infant brain development.

Working with a group of doctors and research scientists, he developed a major breakthrough formulation using choline, an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in brain development, cell signaling, nerve impulse transmission, and lipid transport and metabolism, that resulted in a sea-change for prenatal vitamin manufacturers around the world.

Omega-3 fats, like those found in products from OMAX Health, have been shown to boost heart health, reduce risk of coronary heart disease, and can help our bodies maintain normal blood triglyceride levels. They also have been clinically proven to boost neurotransmitter activity, while supporting memory, focus, concentration, and energy. The extent of these essential fats are proving to be even more powerful with every new trial and use by everyday people like you and me!

What happens when we spend so much of our time, energy, and resources pursuing our biggest goals and something throws us off course? We have the rug pulled out from underneath us and are left to put together the pieces of our dreams? The easy way out is to give up, but that's not what living a life ever forward is all about - we are stronger than that! Tony Jeffries, 2008 Olympic bronze medalist and co-owner of the popular Box N Burn gym and training methodology in Southern California, share with us how he fought for and built his life with his own two hands.

Tony has competed at the highest possible level as a boxer, winning 7 British titles, several multi-international titles – including a European gold medal, and a total of 106 career fights. He has trained nearly every single day since he was ten, competing competitively for a total of 17 years. In 2012, Tony was forced to retire from his professional boxing career due to hand injuries. However, Tony remains active in the fitness industry, traveling the world as an international presenter and trainer, honing the skills of professional athletes, including UFC fighters, and sculpting the bodies of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Fasting - is this truly something worth our time and attention or is just the next "cool thing" in the health and fitness industry? Sal Di Stefano (on Instagram @mindpumpsal), one of the hosts of the incredible Mind Pump podcast, has decades of experience he is bringing to the table in this interview all about the many benefits and dangers to properly conducting a fast. Also, we dive into many other half truths, whole lies, and other misbeliefs that people should be paying attention to when it comes to maximizing their workouts, diets, and overall mindset towards improving their lives.

More about today's expert guestl... Sal was 14 years old when he touched his first weight and from that moment he was hooked. Growing up asthmatic, frequently sick and painfully skinny, Sal saw weightlifting as a way to change his body and his self-image. In the beginning, Sal’s body responded quickly to his training but then his gains slowed and then stopped altogether. Not one to give up easily, he began reading every muscle building publication he could get his hands on to find ways to bust through his plateau. He read Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, Mentzer’s Heavy Duty, Kubrick’s Dinosaur Training, and every muscle magazine he could find; Weider’s Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Iron Man and even Muscle Media 2000. Each time he read about a new technique or methodology he would test it out in the gym. At age 18 his passion for the art and science of resistance training was so consuming that he decided to make it his profession and become a personal trainer. By 19 he was managing health clubs and by 22 he owned his own gym. After 17 years as a personal trainer he has dedicated himself to bringing science and TRUTH to the fitness industry.

Their host of the Onnit Podcast, Director of Operations (a.k.a. Human Optimization), and all around office bad-ass is none other than former UFC fighter Kyle Kingsbury (@kingsbu).

Kyle and I sat down in their HQ in Austin, TX for a one-on-one interview to discuss what Onnit brings to the table, how the ketogenic diet has brought him insane performance improvements, and what it truly means to pursue "total human optimization."

*GIVEAWAY!!!* To win your very own copy of Lori Harder's new book A Tribe Called Bliss, make sure to share out this episode of your Instagram story and tag us @everforwardradio! The winner will be announced on IG on Wednesday, May 16 2018. 

The benefits of a having a tribe are undeniable. Those of us with strong social circles are living longer, happier, and healthier lives compared to those who lack connections. Today, we live in an über-connected era, in which anyone is able to make thousands of friends with the swipe of a finger—yet the way we are connecting leaves us feeling mistrustful, jealous, disempowered, fearful, misunderstood, and ultimately defeated. We are often left believing that success is a solo, isolating endeavor or, worse, that it is reserved only for the ruthless, physically blessed, or self-absorbed.

Inspired by Lori’s own journey through loss, loneliness, and disconnection and her fears of remaining an outsider and of never reaching her dreams, A Tribe Called Bliss details how Lori shed unfulfilling, surface-level friendships and discovered her untapped potential. Step by step, she lights the way to show you how you can achieve deep, meaningful relationships that accelerate and support your highest potential, while providing the tools to ensure unshakable faith in yourself and your journey.

A Tribe Called Bliss is the way to lock in lasting, positive change and connect you to your soul’s calling once and for all. This practical, timely book is for those of us seeking to discover our authentic calling, release our fears, and reach that next level. Lori provides the tools and contextual self-work exercises to develop the self-awareness and mindfulness that is the key to a lifetime of blissful happiness.

Fear. We all have felt it on some level. Rational or not, fear is one of our most primal sensations. Today's special guest Tony Blauer is here to teach us how to use fear to our advantage, to truly understand what it does to us but, more importantly, what it can do for us. His organization, Blauer Tactical Systems, has trained thousands of everyday individuals like us, actors prepping for demanding roles, celebrities, and even our nation's police forces and military special operations groups.

Tony has been in the martial art, self-defense, defensive tactics and combatives industry for almost four decades and is one of the only combatives experts who has successfully affected training across all the combat related communities: self-defense, combat sports and the military & law enforcement sector. His research on physiology and mindset as it relates to confrontation management has influenced over three decades of reality-based martial artists.
