Chasing the Sun: Your Chief Wellness Podcast with Mark Mohammadpour

Recently, I celebrated a personal milestone: my 300th Peloton ride! In today’s episode I speak for a few minutes about why I’m such an advocate for Peloton, but just as important what my experience the last several years has helped to firmly establish my approach to health and wellness. Enjoy! 

No matter who's joining you at your conference or event -- clients, prospects, bosses, colleagues, strangers, new friends - you and ONLY you get to set your journey. I share why that's important in part four of my four-part episode! 

It's part three of my four-part series on surviving conferences and events. My message today: if you're making a permanent change to weight loss and maintenance, stop treating these events like you're on vacation! There are NO cheat days or cheat meals, you can't "take the conference off" and eat and drink whatever you want. I get (slightly) fired up about this today's episode. Enjoy! 

It’s the second episode of my four-part series on surviving conferences and events. Today I talk about setting the right health and wellness tactics to prepare for a full day of networking, panels and other sessions. Enjoy! 

It's conference and event season! How do you prepare for a heavy season of attending conferences, events and trade shows while making a permanent change to weight loss? It's all about preparing in advance! I share more in today's episode. Enjoy! 

This May, we will focus on how to survive conference and event season. It's a busy spring, but don't let that get in the way of staying healthy. I share a few brief thoughts on what to expect in my episodes this month. Hope you enjoy! 

We make a lot of decisions! Sources tell us we make nearly 35,000 decisions per day! I'm sure I made 10,000 decisions alone just producing this episode. That must be taxing on our brains. 

I've been thinking about this throughout April, as I've been a part of several panels and presentations on the topic of health and wellness in the workplace. Conversations focused on time: the amount of time we allocate to exercise, cooking and incorporating wellness into our full lives. Wed talked about how much time we perceive we have, and just as important, how much time we perceive we do not have. I share a few thoughts on this and three tips on on how you can manage your time effectively! Thank you for listening; please share, rate, subscribe and give me feedback on Instagram or Twitter @markmoh!

I can’t believe this but I’m going to spend seven minutes on water today. I’m not going to recommend how you drink it, or what branded water bottle or if it’s carbonated or if you should add artificial flavoring to you drink. 

But I will share three reasons why it’s important to drink water in the first place.

First, we ARE water. 60 percent of our body is water. This helps us digest food, keep our body circulated, sends our nutrients around and keeps our body temperature regulated. 

Second, you get fuller by drinking water. My advice, if you feel hungry, drink water first. You would be surprised how that can positively impact you. 

Third, all that walking and exercising and lifting weights makes you feel good, right? Well, water helps fight fatigue. Your muscles need water to keep going and without water you’re going to get frustrated because they won’t respond as you like.

When you sweat, you lose water. You lose water you get dehydrated. You get dehydrated, you heart has to work more and you don’t want that. 

Here’s when you should drink it. All the time! 

First thing in the morning. Have a glass next to you. When you are busy. Set a reminder on your phone every hour to drink if you need to. Are you drinking alcohol. Drink water before, during and after. When you are hungry.

Thanks for tuning in!
