Half Marathon Training: Focused on Mind; Kristy is doing a half marathon in 40 days and has not fully started to train; treating it as an experience; Kristy uses goals to help motivate while Amanda just makes it part of her day; interesting how folks are motivated differently; walking as a great way to stay active every day; what it takes to get to 10,000 steps a day; endorsed by Valter Longo as well.

Circadian Rhythm and Longevity Diet: Focused on Body; we circle back and talk about the longevity diet and circadian code now that we've been doing it for almost 2 months. We chat about sleep, rest, 13 hours vs. 16, waking up with the sun, light and when people eat, 70's people were skinny (no screen and much less access to prepared food); Kristy is a pitta (fire); how stress and cortisol impact weight and how to address it; sunlight get 15 min a day (no sunscreen or glasses) and lots more.

Intention: Kristy and Amanda talk about intention and how they have a new intention for the podcast: Mind, Body, Soul and how we are using intention to guide what is important to us. self-care, Revenge Body, Gunner Peterson, Khloe Kardashian, David Ji, Intention + Attention, Seat of the Soul Gary Zuchav and Marie Kondo all get a mention.

Back in California happy to be home had a stressful week which was a moment to reflect on life in general and how everything is interconnected (mind-body-soul). Not sure if I have turned into a Northern Californian but I seem to have a new hummingbird buddy who keeps visiting me on my front stoop - kinda amazing. Been sticking 100% to Circadian Rhythm fasting and mostly Longevity Diet; except for the slice of pizza on Friday  - hey I'm just human :)

Kristy's update after 4 days in Oslo - she shares her dealing with stress before a friend's wedding trip, a reminder about how getting and providing "space" can help day to day, she added 2 new weekly focus areas based on this trip "stress" and "jeans" with a renewed focus on dropping a few pounds to be able to wear her cutoff jeans shorts without "friction" and a question as to why people in Oslo seem so healthy? 

Kristy shares her first week (but not last) of Circadian Rhythm fasting while at a wedding in Sonoma County CA. It was an blend of amazing friends, chill day, and way too much driving followed by a no driving Sunday. And a quick preview of Oslo Norway for a second wedding weekend!  #circadianfasting #stickingtoit #osmosisspacalifornia #nodrivingsunday

In this podcast Kristy and Amanda meet up over Skype to address the craziness of doing too many different types of diets and lifestyle changes. In this chat we decide to pick a healthy lifestyle and stick with it! Let's get healthy now!

Kristy shares her trip to Canada and NY, why fasting vs intermittent fasting feels a lot harder, her commitment to trying to add 5 minutes of fun and how country music ties into that for her, and stuff that she is challenged by "the tough stuff".

In this podcast me and Kristy finally are in one place to discuss all the latest research we've been trying out. We get into the differences and similarities between The Longevity Diet  (Valter Longo) and The Circadian Code (Satchin Panda). We also discuss the difference between intermittent fasting, time restricted eating and the fasting mimicking diet. To top it off we get into the cool study of traditional Ayurveda and how they recommend you live and eat and how they seem to be recommending very similar ways to what the newest research is telling us. So dig in and let's be healthy now!

In this podcast I finally get back to business after my move, I get deep into the book by the amazing Satchin Panda called The Circadian Code, which delves into how time restricted eating can decrease inflammation, help you lose weight and feel better. I wanted to read this book after hearing about his study where 2 groups of mice ate the same food (like the Standard American Diet) but the one that kept their eating in a shorter period of time reaped tons of benefits by simple changing the times that they ate. Very cool research indeed! I also talk about Marie Kondo and the Konmarie Method of decluttering that has helped me get through two downsizing moves in 1 year. Let's be healthy now!
