I Choose Health Podcast

This podcast is one of my favorites, #27.  It has nothing to due with the number, it has to do with the meaning behind it.  Listen, Enjoy, Comment, Argue with me in fact!  I welcome the feedback.  I do not profess to understand everything their is to know with Health, Fitness, & Nutrition.  I just try things and see what works for me, I encourage you to test and do the same.  Thanks to Steve Krebs (Coach and Mentor), Nick Long (Fellow Warrior and PodCaster), Brandon Rebbe (Friend and Co-Competitor in upcoming Spartan Race) & Tim Ferriss (Who taught me to test & find out what works for me). The Picture was of me back in May of 2013 when I was at my heaviest.  Today I am 225 lbs., not perfect but much better than I was for most of my adult life.

This episode is my candid discussion about something that I cannot fully process at this time.  It is my attempt to gain clarity on the subject.  I don't have answers but I do find that this is a compelling story.  Listen, hopefully you will enjoy and share.

In this episode I discuss that sometimes it is necessary to let go of things even if they are GOOD in our lives in order to stretch for greatness.  I made a decision last week...... Listen to find out more.

In this episode I discuss Coaching and the stigma that I have associated with it.  I shouldn't be surprised that some people have asked me for coaching but it feels foreign to me.  I suppose that there has been a story of "Who am I to call myself a coach?".  Last night I found myself coaching a door to door salesman who ended up on my doorstep. The young man had a unique story which I discuss in this podcast.

In today's episode I discuss the topic of money once again and how it may affect mental health.  It is a short posdcast but good for Monday motivation.

This Podcast is a sharing of one of the most liberating day of my life, the day I shared my pain with 70 other like-minded men where I shared my deepest shame.  It was a freeing experience and that is the day I quit dying and started living again.

In Today's episode I explore the question of when your partner becomes triggered by external thoughts, ideas, images that clearly bother them.  I did not know how to respond at the time but it will require a crucial conversation with my spouse to know what is going on with her.  WE ARE FINE but I will not ignore it because it was clear that the movie we watched was very disturbing to her.

In May of 2013, I had made the decision that I was going to undergo having gastric bypass surgery (bariatric surgery).  At that time I thought it was the only choice available to me that could help me.  I was both right and wrong at the same time.   There are hints to my mindset back then.  It was the best decision for me at the time and I have never regretted it.

Sex, Sexuality, Marriage, Desire, Men's T - Levels, Communication.  These and many more topics are touched upon.  Lately I have been listening to Podcasts such as Sex with Emily & Date Your Wife.  I never thought I would be openly discussing these topics but sharing my thought has proven therapeutic & beneficial to me.  I hope it proves helpful for you as well.

Today's lesson comes from a professional coaching call that I took part in today.  Avoiding to Market is Avoiding to Grow was my major takeaway.  Also I found that Freedom is what I truly desire by having money.  Freedom from Stress & being able to breathe without worrying about payroll and constant bills.  Growth is truly the best and quickest path to my freedom, contraction is rarely ever the answer.
