Health Interrupted

Welcome to Health Interrupted hosted by Celebrity Personal Trainer, Gina Lombardi and Former Miss America, Laura Kaeppeler.

Today's guest is Nick Hardwick. Nick is a former NFL Pro Bowl Center for the San Diego Chargers. He started in 146 games, earned distinction as one of the 50 Greatest Chargers of All-Time as a member of the 50th Anniversary team, won the Ed Block Courage award, and earned Pro Bowl honors for his play on the field. Nick's proudest accomplishment during his career was earning the title of Team Captain for his last 5 seasons in the league. Nick was drafted to the Chargers with the 3rd pick of the 3rd round of the 2004 draft, 3 years after walking on to the Purdue University football team, inspired by Drew Brees and the success of the Boilermakers at the time. All of this, and Nick didn't play high school football! He was a high school wrestler who hit puberty late! Go figure! At Purdue, during Nick's second year, a friend in the ROTC program, where Nick was on scholarship to become a Marine Corps officer, showed him an ad in the classified section of the Purdue student newspaper for walk-on tryouts. The rest, as they say, is history.

Following Nick's illustrious career in football, he immediately lost 85lbs in under 5 months, showing up at his retirement press conference weighing 208lbs. This grabbed a lot of national media attention, where Nick was falsely accused of being on performance enhancing drugs during his playing career, because, "How else could the rapid weight loss be explained?" Nick decided to use that as motivation to show others how to lose weight fast, reclaim their health and ultimately their life. The program he designed for himself to lose weight has become the Lose Like a Lineman Program and most recently Lose Like a Lady designed with his health conscious wife, Jayme's guidance. Together they are helping hundreds of people lose weight and stay active every day. They also host a health and wellness focused podcast, called The HardwickLIFE.

Clint Malarchuk was born in Grand Prairie, Alberta and played junior hockey in the Western Hockey League. He went on to play professionally in the NHL for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres, and in the IHL for the Las Vegas Thunder. After leaving the NHL as a player, he served as head coach of the IHL Las Vegas Thunder and the Idaho Steelheads.

In 1989, he received the most terrible injury in the history of ice hockey, his throat was slashed during a collision in the crease and Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now, a mental health advocate, Clint speaks professionally around North America on mental health, PTSD, and depression. Through Clint's experiences as an NHL player and coach, he has developed philosophies on developing leadership skills and overcoming life struggles. Clint is also a bestselling author of two books "A Matter of Inches" & "The Crazy Game" – in those books, Clint reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death – twice.

Today's guest is Eric Tozer. Eric Tozer is a TYPE 1 diabetes ambassador who inspires the community through sports and utilizes his athletic accomplishments as a platform to be a role model in the diabetes community. Eric was diagnosed with T1D in 2006, while traveling in Europe. He had the classic symptoms of diabetes including constant thirst, increased appetite, frequent urination, blurred vision, lethargy, and weight loss. Eric had always lived a very active and healthy lifestyle, so the sudden 20-pound weight loss made him aware that something was seriously wrong. Upon returning home, a visit to his doctor revealed the devastating and life changing news of his diagnosis. Eric's life was quickly turned upside down: checking his blood sugar levels up to 10 times a day, calculating carbohydrate intake and taking varying units of insulin shots with every meal. But Eric wasn't going to let diabetes control his life and decided to take charge. Soon after his diagnosis, he completed his first half Ironman and hasn't stopped since. He co-founded the non-profit organization, Diabetes Sports Project, comprised of hundreds of T1D athletes around the globe, demonstrating how through proper diet, exercise, a positive outlook and effective blood glucose management, dreams can be achieved.
