My guest this week is Danielle Matthews.

Danielle is a traumatic brain injury survivor and an expert in Redox Signaling.

When Danielle was 23 years old, she suffered a horrendous traumatic brain injury  when she was struck by drunk driver. This event left Danielle with significant physical and neurological impairments. So much so, after about a year of rehabilitation, doctor's advised her to accept her condition as her "new normal", thinking there was no further progress to be had.

Unwilling to resign herself to her impairments, Danielle defied her doctor's expectations by mustering her spiritual strength and determination and developing a series of techniques she call "Mind Control".

Within Mind Control, we explore a phenomenon in technology Quantum Cellular Healing, along with a revolutionary vehicle known as Redox Signaling. As such, we can facilitate repairing our bodies at the smallest, infinitesimal level.

Danielle's spiritual drive, together with her own background in science, she guides us through what this is, what means for all of us, and what potentials this creates for those who can suffered major health setbacks.

My guest this week is Dai Manuel.

Dai brings an infectious level of personality and good-humored fun to his mission of educating and inspiring people around the world.

In our discussion, Dai goes over what he calls "The Whole Life Fitness Manifesto". This is to be a doctrine of becoming your very best self in mind, body, and spirit through a 28-day program. In doing so, we embrace the 2 percent solution of gaining control over all these vital areas of life.

Dai will also discuss how being and allowing for vulnerability is a perfectly human characteristic, and how it can (if done constructively) lead to a much happier and healthier existence.

My guest this week is Heather Murray.

Heather Murray comes to Fitness Reborn with an incredible personal story. It's a story of going from a place of being completely shattered - physically, psychologically, and emotionally - to becoming stronger than she ever thought possible.

Heather survived years and years of terrible abuse under a tyrannical husband, fought back against morbid obesity, weathered the tragic passing of her father, to now she and her son being in a safe position and crushing personal fitness goals.

This was one of my more favorite interviews. It almost moved me to tears.

My guest this week is Lesley Logan. Lesley is a certified Pilates instructor and host of the podcast Be It Till You See It.

In our discussion, Lesley talks to us about  how she for the longest time struggled to feel a sense of belonging anywhere, and how Pilates (after initially being dismissive of it) allowed her to find her community. Lesley now teaches Pilates all over the world, and runs an online business called Online Pilates Classes.

Lesley takes us through the physical benefits of Pilates training, its universal application, as well as the mind-body connections that also occur. However, more importantly, she emphasizes her personal philosophy that "perfect is boring". Meaning people often get too concerned with perfect execution and perfect timing whenever we live our lives.

This was a great interview, so please have a listen.

Also, if find value in this episode and podcast, please consider subscribing, sharing, and giving a review. It helps A LOT!

My guest this week on Fitness Reborn is James McCambridge.

James is an athlete and trainer working from Rewire Neuro-Performance Therapy based in the United Kingdom.

In this episode, James and I discuss largely how neurology and physical conditioning work hand-in-hand with each other. We also learn how James' own background as an athlete and struggles with neurological and sensory issues led to his current career at Rewire, as well as how the limitations of conventional medicine have created a growing need for people to explore options outside the medical mainstream. Additionally, we discuss what could potentially be in the future for a more harmonious relationship between personal training and medical science.

This is a completely fascinating episode. So listen, learn, and enjoy!
