LIVETHEFUEL

Erin Wathen (WATH- EN) is a holistic health coach, food abuse counselor, and the inspiring author of Why Can’t I Stick to My Diet?: How To End The Food Drama. Her philosophy, simply put: Health isn’t a number on the scale or how often we exercise, but our lives as a whole.

Several years ago, Erin was not at peace with her body -- despite her wealth of knowledge on diet and exercise. She was always on a diet, and yet never reached her goal weight.

As a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a Food Addiction Counselor, Erin was well versed in the science behind health. As a Certified Spinning® Instructor, Vinyasa Yoga instructor, and Classical Pilates instructor, she understood the mechanics of health and fitness as well. Through a lot of trial and error, Erin found true nutrition to be the missing piece of the puzzle.

It was then that Erin started her last diet, which ultimately became her food plan and the basis of her health coaching program, as well as her book "Why Can’t I Stick to My Diet?"

1. Clarifying Food relating to the Food Plate vs Food Pyramid
2. Gut Health and Biology
3. Food Plate vs Food Pyramid

My all-encompassing message is, "it's just food. It's not your whole life. It's not love. It's not your family. Somewhere along the lines, food got out of order on our list of priorities, as I said with the oxygen analogy. So if we can just put it back to where it belongs, to me, support needs to be high quality, but it's not your friend. It's not entertainment. It needs to to be healthy. It needs to be good, but it's not the answer to any of our problems other than hunger.

• Evolve Your Mindset
• Make A Plan To Support Your Vision
• Marry The Dream Not The Path

What is your vision? What's your plan, because if you have a vision, without your plan, without your goals, it's nothing. It's a wish. So for me, it's what is the end game. Then what's the first step that you need to take to get there, and then doing the reps. You'll get there and marry the dream but, not the path. The path is going to squiggle. You keep your eyes wide open, going through the detours and everything that you've learned. You'll get to where you need to be not to where you thought you want it to be. Or more dangerously where you thought you deserved to be.

They had solariums where they could sun themselves and built their houses open to the sky. Likewise, this was common for a long time architecture to lead in more natural lighting.

• [spp-timestamp time="00:30"] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time="08:00"] I think because I'm in the Midwest and there are a lot of baby boomers here, we need more providers, we need what nurse practitioners are often called, which is a mid-level provider. They're desperate for help. I think that's part of why maybe we have more rights and more autonomy. Iowa has allowed me to really build an integrative or functional medicine practice. There's no guarantee that I could have found a true medical doctor who would have allowed me to practice under them this in this manner.
• [spp-timestamp time="14:00"] A fireman versus a carpenter approach, describes conventional, or you could say traditional medicine, as being more the fire department. The fire department is used to put out the fire. A chiropractor is then the carpenter approach to move forward with.
• [spp-timestamp time="15:00"] You're not always taught how to prevent future fires, right? That's where what we do comes in, we're a functional medicine provider, a contractor or Carpenter as I discussed in my book. We are helping patients build a healthier body using functional medicine principles because we want to get to the root cause. We want to determine if the patient has inflammation and figure out those triggers. We want to help put out that fire without hopefully having to use drugs and surgery.
• [spp-timestamp time="19:00"] A Carnivore Study? I want to go off on a tangent now. I am very curious what happens to hormones and what happens to nutritional deficiencies on that sort of diet?
• [spp-timestamp time="23:39"] I had endometriosis, which I'm going to talk more about in my second book. I did utilize some of the conventional medicine but I use a lot of functional medicine to help with fertility. I've been gluten-free for I don't even know how many years, five years maybe. I'm not free of all grains but I am 100% gluten-free and I needed to go dairy-free as well.
• [spp-timestamp time="35:00"] Terry Wahls is a good friend and colleague, her working knowledge base is ridiculous. She's someone who reversed her autoimmune condition. She was wheelchair bound with MS - Multiple Sclerosis and was essentially sent home to die. So she did her own research, being she was conventionally trained, she sought out functional medicine and now she's in the best shape of her life. She feels amazing.
• [spp-timestamp time="43:00"] It's all about gut health. It's all about getting back to the inflammation. You mentioned punching that fire out and for autoimmune diseases specifically, that's what Terry Wahls' book is all about. It is getting the inflammatory foods out of her gut to really reverse her condition.
• [spp-timestamp time="45:30"] Chefs in the cooking world do not fully understand microbiome, gut biology, and how food allergies actually work. Sugar tastes good, sugars are addicting, so that's why they want you to come back.
• [spp-timestamp time="53:00"] There are a time and place where with some patients, there's not a lot they can do nutritionally. If they don't have the organs necessary to produce the hormones in their symptomatic, they may need hormones. Topical gels and creams, they're not my favorite, as they're not the preferred forms. Injectables, those are all synthetic, so I do not like offer those. Then there are sublingual lozenges you can put on your tongue but with BioTe, I believe this is the most potent and safest delivery method. BioTe, Bio-Identical Testosterone Estrogen delivered in hormone pellets.

I think we emphasized the importance of eating clean and reducing stress. Those are two awesome tips right there. So I think those are the biggest take homes.

I've also said this word a couple of times, HOPE, that's in the back of the book. I list a lot of references for patients to find functional medicine providers near where they're living. I think sometimes patients hear things or individuals may hear a message and it resonates but then they don't know where to go from there. So if it resonates with you, share with someone you know or a family member who may need functional medicine.

Don't give up, find a provider who can help you repair and rebuild your body. You won't regret it.

• [spp-timestamp time="41:30"] I would requalify, they're not necessarily lazy, but they're resistant.
• [spp-timestamp time="47:30"] Flow and Michele's blog, Brain Candy.
• [spp-timestamp time="48:40"] Breakthrough Healing talks about how there are different natural modalities to help people heal. I talked about rapid transformational therapy and my rapid rewiring process. Both ebooks have guided transformation meditations that go with them.

This podcast episode was recorded LIVE at Scott's personal garage aka This Old Garage project. Repeat co-host Brian Strauser of The Strauser Project has returned! He continues to go through exciting transformations in life, business, and more. Since Brian’s last appearance on episode 045, he's been engaged in a lot of philanthropic activities.

Brian continues impacting the lives of others through various charity efforts, in particular, John Hudson Dilgen who lives with the rare condition of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). You'll learn much more about this again today. More importantly, we share the powerful holiday energy from John's new home dedication that we attended in Staten Island thanks to the Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation.

I'll probably keep it with the Thanksgiving theme, just end it with something simple, give more than you get. You know there's something special that happens… (Brian gets emotional here…)

You know something special happens when you have the opportunity to do that kind of stuff. This year I probably made triple the amount of money I made last year with my side hustle and some things I've started doing with my carpentry, my skillset, and my level of commitment to taking care of my family. The money I made doesn't mean shit to me.

The more educated she became in the art of chiropractic, the more interested and intrigued she became, until she finally asked for an adjustment from a family friend who practices chiropractic. The treatment was like magic. He not only adjusted her spine but also her feet, hips, knees, wrists, and elbows. She felt new and light, like a better version of herself. He also took extra time to put her on a specific dietary protocol and nutritional regimen, from which she realized major positive changes. She excelled academically, experienced less gastrointestinal upset, reduced brain-fog, lost weight, and started to enjoy activities like hiking, because her foot mechanics had been changed.

Dr. Barter has been active in athletics her entire life. For 17 years Dr. Barter was a competitive dancer. These days she can be found dancing, skiing, running, performing yoga, biking, hiking, lifting weights or walking her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Ritz. She knows what it takes to be an athlete and she finds great satisfaction in helping athletes reach their maximum potential.

Ann uses chiropractic care to improve the health and wellness in all areas of patient’s lives, whether they are having problems with back or neck pain, or just want to start feeling better when they wake up in the morning. Dr. Barter takes a “whole person” approach to chiropractic care, which means looking for the underlying causes of disease, discomfort, and pain, as opposed to just treating the symptoms.

Many seemingly unrelated symptoms often arise from imbalances in the spinal column, extremities, biochemical disturbances, and stress and Dr. Barter will be able to determine the root of the problem and create a personalized chiropractic and wellness plan to suit each patient’s individual needs.

Dr. Ann-Marie Barter is passionate about helping you and your family. She has a broad range of diagnostic skills and enjoys working with women and men of all ages including pregnant women, kids, and geriatric patients. She is dedicated to appropriately assessing your condition, building an individualized treatment program, and optimizing your health.

• [spp-timestamp time="00:30"] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time="01:49"] What's your fast protocol? Nutritional cleansing, fasting, detoxing, and more.
• [spp-timestamp time="04:48"] Water fast from time to time and being able to retrace injuries.
• [spp-timestamp time="07:08"] I love that retracing of your injury when you're cleaning out and cleansing. I jumped on a nail when I was six years old. Wow, that bottom of my foot really hurts.
• [spp-timestamp time="09:13"] I wanted to move to Colorado because I fought the Four Mile Canyon complex fire in 2010 outside of Boulder. The first time I saw a molten engine block, it got so hot, it looked like the Terminator, the liquid robot.
• [spp-timestamp time="10:47"] The ptarmigan glacier up in Rocky Mountain National Park, so we parked at 8000 and then we hiked to 12-13,000’, and you just drop off of that cliff edge. That was my first backcountry experience into that bowl.
• [spp-timestamp time="13:25"] I go up there I decided that I'm going to wear new skis, by the way my friend and I are the only females in the parking lot. I'm wearing new powder skis because I'm set. If you've ever skied Silverton there are double blacks, they're pretty intense. It's also that time of year, it was kind of rocky, I mean the conditions were ice they closed a week later.
• [spp-timestamp time="14:36"] It really gave me a respect for the mountains and so now going out in that country just totally gives me a different respect for it. I guess you have to be humbled to really see what that's all about.
• [spp-timestamp time="18:26"] So I definitely grew up athletic. I was a competitive dancer and a competitive runner but I did a lot of my growing up in Texas, which is pretty flat. So there's none of the mountain experience that you can have. I actually didn't like to hike as a kid I used to whine about it because my feet were really bad and so it hurt me to walk and hike.
• [spp-timestamp time="19:19"] I found chiropractic when I was in college because I had all kinds of gut and gastrointestinal problems and I found alternative health. So my story into alternative health is this, I remember having such bad period cramps I went to my MD, right? Well she actually just said you know, suck it up.
• [spp-timestamp time="20:59"] I get my appendix removed, told the whole time, I'm perfectly healthy as I just have an organ removed. Fast forward a few years I'm in college and I start breaking out into hives all over my body and an anaphylaxis reaction. Trip after trip to the emergency room, they give me Benadryl on top of Benadryl, nobody ever talked to me about diet, lifestyle, anything.
• [spp-timestamp time="27:25"] You can see if on basic lab panels like homocysteine will tell us if somebody has current information related to that MTHFR gene. Your body produces glutathione. In fact, it's a major antioxidant. One of the most powerful antioxidants in the body.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

- Norman Vincent Peale

• [spp-timestamp time="30:41"] I had a patient I generally recommend a paleo whole 30 cleanse for 30 days for my patients. I have been doing this for like 20 years before Paleo was cool. I remember just one time trying to go vegan just to see if I could go vegan for 30 days to see if I could do it. I literally think I felt how frustrated people feel when they're trying to change their diet for the first time because it was so hard. I couldn't find any foods to eat because I don't need a ton of grains. I don't eat soy.
• [spp-timestamp time="34:00"] Aside from the vegan diet not being good for me, just based on how active my lifestyle is, etc. Plus really needing to do additional supplementation.
• [spp-timestamp time="36:34"] Dr. Anthony Jay’s launching right now the first Carnivore Study, he's looking for people to participate in his study where for 90 days you're 100% carnivore.
• [spp-timestamp time="39:46"] There are a lot of buzz words today: Keto, Ketogenic, Paleo, Paleolithic, LCHF, Low Carb High Fat, NSNG, No Sugar No Grains, etc.
• [spp-timestamp time="41:02"] You always have to check men's estrogen to make sure that they're not producing too much estrogen when you're checking their testosterone. Same with women.
• [spp-timestamp time="42:46"] Ubiome, they'll break down what bacteria you have in your gut and what you don't have in your gut. It's actually pretty cool testing to figure out what's going on.
• [spp-timestamp time="44:51"] Ultimately, we have gap junctions in our GI system. What ends up happening is these gap junctions get some space in between them. Then that leaks out into our bloodstream.
• [spp-timestamp time="46:21"] You clean up the other diet, you clean up everything else.
• [spp-timestamp time="47:03"] I put people on an elimination diet initially, I don't love grains for a lot of patients. I definitely don't love sugar for a lot of patients. I think that they need to incorporate some more foods like nuts and seeds depending on how you look at paleo.
• [spp-timestamp time="50:45"] I get a lot of questions about Keto. I have women come in that have gained like 30 pounds on Keto. I don't think keto is good and I don't think keto is bad. Certain people, have livers that can't process that much fat at once.
• [spp-timestamp time="52:38"] It is money, money, money, money, money, money, a lot of people are getting wealthy with people being sick. A lot of people are making money in the food industry that way.
• [spp-timestamp time="56:36"] I would overeat protein, I would blow my blood sugar and blow my ketones.
• [spp-timestamp time="01:04:46"] Final Words

Being a practitioner, sometimes practitioners don't connect because there's this concern about scarcity and they don't do what's best for the patient. It can be working with our MD or working with a surgeon or whomever it is, to give them the best care when we integrate.

It is powerful medicine because multiple eyes looking at one thing is so much better than one set of eyes looking at one thing. I just think people really do need to take control of their health.

The people that I see coming in here, they are 20 years old, especially in my Denver location. They're 20 years old, they're struggling with crazy things that they cannot get to the bottom of. I mean we're talking eczema, we're talking about abscesses in their large intestines. You have to take these alternative methods seriously earlier, because, you know, you're going to have a much better life, you're going to have a much better quality of life. I don't know why people don't want to do that. I don't know why people don't want to embrace that. It's just baffles me.

• [spp-timestamp time="00:10"] Introduction and a regular co-host shout out to Dr. Megan Cannon, Sports Psychologist for getting Rick and Scott introduced. Plus Scott knocks Rick’s bio intro and killed it!
• [spp-timestamp time="04:00"] It's interesting because if you let the wrong thing get into the driver's seat when you're going through your life, it's going to make you miserable. It goes back to that classic quote like how are you supposed to move forward if you're always living behind or something like that. It's one of these is something different manifestations of that quote, but it's is so true.
• [spp-timestamp time="06:24"] Why do you have to go back? If you served, then you have that honor and that respect. You can move on to start a whole new chapter.
• [spp-timestamp time="08:00"] Three of the most top psychologically strenuous things that you can go through in your life.
• [spp-timestamp time="14:00"] That's the thing, an existential crisis we've made that you literally ignore your call to adventure and you continue to do the things that you think you're supposed to do or you have all these obligations that are essentially self-imposed, right?
• [spp-timestamp time="18:00"] If you're really growth minded, that kind of a lifestyle is rough, and I don't wish it on anybody, because it means you got to leave relationships, leave jobs and you leave states. If you're going to honor the process of what growth really requires, that means that you are going to grow away from certain things that are really comfortable in it and that you might enjoy.
• [spp-timestamp time="20:45"] I think that it's entirely possible to find people that you're going to grow with. It's just way harder.
• [spp-timestamp time="22:52"] One of the mindset shifts for me that it was a literal life changer was focusing on what you do want vs you don't want. Something that's really changed my life so you know, I don't want to go broke is much different than I want to make six figures this year, right?
• [spp-timestamp time="25:20"] Preconceived notions and ideas. Cognitive researchers believe that you don't know about 95% of what goes on in your own brain.
• [spp-timestamp time="27:00"] Writing is a process where there's not a lot of validation.
• [spp-timestamp time="31:20"] We're in a culture of doers, so you just keep doing, and doing, the path just keeps getting further and further away from where you really want to be at times.
• [spp-timestamp time="33:29"] You need to protect your energy, you can end up somewhere miserable, burnt out and exhausted. Then you're going to hate what you're doing because I've literally gone down that road of hustle.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” ... “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” ~ Carl Jung

• [spp-timestamp time="37:00"] History of LionHeart. We had all CrossFit athletes that we sponsored, which is why we started the show.
• [spp-timestamp time="42:52"] I found the beauty in life which is outside of rigidity.
• [spp-timestamp time="44:04"] It's serendipitous. The morning coffee podcast episodes on LionHeart.
• [spp-timestamp time="46:00"] I kept denying that call to adventure and because of that, I delayed what I really wanted to be doing in this world by years. It was painful and if I really fought to get that out there. Burn Your Coach was released a year ago, it was essentially the idea behind that which is a lot of what we're talking about. Most people mistake being comfortable for being happy and those two things just aren't the same.
• [spp-timestamp time="47:51"] Who are the people you're surrounding yourself with? Who are the inner circles that you're allowing your manifestation to take with? Setting big hairy audacious goals normally does not come from the old circles of influence, they come from the new circles of influence that you're allowing into your life.
• [spp-timestamp time="48:11"] I got out of the military at 12 years. Everybody said you got to do eight more years. The only thing I could think about is eight years to do a job that you're unhappy with when you know there's an entire life you want to be doing.
• [spp-timestamp time="50:39"] I just finished recording the audiobook literally yesterday. It's a ridiculous process.
• [spp-timestamp time="51:23"] There are some great books like former Navy SEAL guys or stories of Navy SEAL’s. Check out Fearless about former SEAL, Adam Brown.
• [spp-timestamp time="52:33"] I wanted to be a rock star my whole life. I spent a couple years playing in the music industry and we were huge but we had like a local song on the radio and we opened for some bands that I liked.
• [spp-timestamp time="54:00"] How can we achieve more? Do the thing that you feel called to do in the world. It will be the biggest performance hack you could ever imagine.
• [spp-timestamp time="55:24"] Final Words

I'm going to close it with a Carl Young quote. It wasn't the quote I gave you at the beginning of the show:

“Until you make the subconscious conscious, it's going to rule your life and you're going to call it fate.”

I think there's no more worthy ideal than figuring out who you really want to be in what you really are. I know I've been talking about it throughout this whole show.

Until you do that, everything else won't matter. You'll put your energy in the wrong place, you'll be in the wrong relationship, you'll do the wrong job and not necessarily every single aspect.

• [spp-timestamp time="00:30"] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time="29:30"] If you are operating at a nine out of 10, and a nine out of 10 means clarity, focus, energy, drive, productivity, happiness, all the studies show that happy people are wealthier, healthier people that tend to be happier and have good habits. Okay, if you just go from a seven to a nine, chances are, you are going to go from 50 grand to something approaching 100 grand, at least now you're in a job, and you're phoning it in, and your bosses like, Imagine if you're nine out of 10, and all of a sudden, you come in, you go, Hey, I got this great idea for this thing. Let's do this. Well, you start selling more, or you start going the extra mile, your chances of getting up promotion increase exponentially. which results in could be $10,000 more, $25,000 more. Maybe you all of a sudden go I'm too big for this damn company. I'm so damn good. I'm going to put myself on the market. And then another company comes in and hires you and offers you 120,000.
• [spp-timestamp time="32:54"] I'm an entrepreneur, you're an entrepreneur, and especially with entrepreneurs who have the ability to go out and just create their own universe, you know, I mean, everyone can, but I like talking to entrepreneurs. There's a there's a guy called Kevin who is in my program I have called Project 90 and Project 90 is essentially, coaches, entrepreneurs who drink into quitting alcohol for at least 90 days. So they can see the huge benefits that they can get from that.
