Ballistic Performance Radio

On this episode of BPR, I outline a concept that has inspired most of our new content, at least in regards to nutrition and something that we've implemented in our lives for YEARS.

⠀

We're talking about recipes. Specifically, how recipes are OVERRATED, and how in many cases, may be holding you back on your nutrition journey.

⠀

That's right...all the fancy, keto and paleo-friendly recipes your favorite #fitspo has been posting on Instagram are NOT the solutions to your problems. They're the reason you're struggling to be consistent.

⠀

If you haven't done so already and enjoy what you hear on this channel, PLEASE leave a five-star rating and review wherever you listen to your podcasts. We'd appreciate it, and it does help us reach more people and change more lives through this platform.

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down with author, speaker, and entrepreneur, Teresa Swanstrom Anderson.

An unlikely mom of SIX (two biological and four from Ethiopia), Teresa is a community builder, party and beauty lover, author, speaker, and huge Bible nerd. Obsessed with helping overwhelmed women learn to slow down with Scripture, Teresa teaches how to say yes to God, lead wherever you are, and live lighter while creating a life you love. She currently has four books out, including three best-selling bible studies (Living for What Really Matters - 7 weeks in Philippians was even a ECPA finalist for Bible Study of the Year). Her latest book/study (Finding Your Peace in God's Story) releases Fall 2002.

If you want to learn more about the Get Wisdom Bible Studies, the Living Lighter course, or follow along with her journey, check out her website.

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down with Nicole Lussier, the founder of Body in Motion Physical Therapy.

⠀

Prior to creating Body in Motion, Nicole accumulated nearly 10 years of experience in outpatient orthopedics. In that time, she realized that the system was broken. Patients were only getting 10 minutes of one-on-one time with their PT, there was no guidance or accountability beyond the four walls of the facility, and the concepts/methods at the clinic did not translate to life and sport.

⠀

Body in Motion Physical Therapy is a hybrid model that combines one-one-one, in-person training with virtual guidance and accountability. She utilizes a completely individualized approach to help active adults all over the world recover smoothly from aches and pains so they can enjoy life again.

⠀

If you want to find out more about Nicole, Body in Motion, or even schedule a FREE virtual consult, you can find her on Instagram, the Body in Motion website, or send her an email.

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down with Karyn Toffolo, the founder of Happy Belly Strong and the Nourish and Flourish group coaching course.

⠀

Karyn has always been a mover, and after a short stint in corporate America, she discovered her true calling - changing lives through nutrition and fitness. Over the past seven years, Karyn has cultivated a wholistic nutrition and fitness methodology that helps people create healthy habits and adopt sustainable behaviors, which lead to long-lasting results.

⠀

Throughout the conversation, we cover everything from Karyn's background and education in nutrition, the catalyst of Happy Belly Strong, and even regenerative farming.

⠀

If you want to learn more about Karyn, Happy Belly Strong, regenerative farming, or just follow along with her journey, check her out on Instagram or the Happy Belly Strong Website.

On this episode of BPR, I provide an overview of Episode 673 of Mark Bell's Power Project. Now, this episode was incredible for two reasons: 1) Knees Over Toes Guy, Ben Patrick, AND The Ready State, Kelly Starrett, were both guests on the show; 2) the first 2/3 of the conversation focused on creating a healthier society, and how simple, practical strategies could change our classrooms, households, and neighborhoods.

⠀

Overall, the episode was incredibly interesting and insightful, which is EXACTLY why I felt the need to share it with YOU. Again, this is only a summarization of the conversation, so if you're tight on time, this is perfect. However, if you have the time today, tomorrow, or this weekend, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the entire episode (linked above).

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down with Shelagh Curran.

⠀

Shelagh is a Registered Dietitian and founder of Shalegh Rose Nutrition. Her mission is to help women manage their PCOS, heal their hormones, and take back their health with functional nutrition and lifestyle modifications.

⠀

We cover all things PCOS in this conversation:

• What is PCOS?
• What are the signs and symptoms?
• What are the causes of PCOS?
• What are potential complications?
• How is PCOS treated in traditional medicine?
• How is PCOS managed in functional medicine?

Ash is back on the show!

⠀

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down to discuss why change is so damn hard. We talk epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and high-level sciency $h!t, but don't worry...we diluted everything down to easy, simple, and practical information and recommendations that you can utilize to keep moving forward on your health and fitness journey.

⠀

During the conversation, Ash mentions two books, both of which are absolutely incredible. If you're into reading, these are MUST-HAVES (also, we are not affiliated with these authors in any way; we just love the books):

⠀

Atomic Habits by James Clear

How to Do the Work by Dr. Nicole LePera

⠀

We hope you enjoy the episode, and PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out and share topics that you'd like us to discuss on the show. We'd LOVE to hear from you.

On this episode of BPR, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Christian Williams, the founder of Archery Strong.

⠀

Obviously, Christian is an avid bow hunter and outdoorsman, but he also has the knowledge and experience necessary to create efficient and effective training programs:

• Bachelor's in Exercise Science
• 7+ years of experience as a Sports Injury/Performance Specialist and Strength and Conditioning Coach
• Certified Movement and Corrective Exercise Specialist
• USA Weightlifting Level 1 Coach

⠀

If you're not familiar with Archery Strong, it is a training methodology designed specifically for archers. The mission of Archery Strong is to relieve shoulder pain, prevent injury, and improve performance to build the most accurate, injury-proof archers in the woods and on the range. The Archery Strong method builds the stability, mobility, and strength in the upper body that allows you to hold solid, reduce pin float, execute consistent shots, all while avoiding shoulder pain.

This episode of BPR was inspired by a recent Gymnastics Clinic that we conducted at CrossFit Pine Creek in Pittsburgh, PA. The clinic was a huge success, and we are so thankful for the generosity and hospitality of the CFPC.

⠀

After the clinic, D took some time to reflect on the weekend: what went well, what didn't go so well, what could be improved before the next clinic, etc. During that reflection, D realized that nearly every question from both the coaches and participants traced back to the same issue, and that's EXACTLY what triggered today's discussion.

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down to discuss stress eating, specifically, how you can stop stress eating and take back control of your nutrition.

⠀

Ash outlines the three-step process that will help you identify, address, and eliminate stress eating, but just because it's a three-step process doesn't mean it will be easy.

⠀

Step 1 - Observe

Step 2 - Throw a Wrench in the System

Step 3 - Compassion and Persistence
