Hello M3 Family! In this solo episode, I share my expertise on Stronglifting and how weight training has completely reshaped my body’s composition. To “recomp” your body means to change the components of lean mass and fat mass in the body. I explain  the 8 main lifts that my coach, Bret Contreras, has developed into the core exercises of Stronglifting. I also explain the 6 main lifts we use to compete and strive for personal records (PRs) in our training. Focusing on these 6 lifts (really 8 movement patterns) are the ultimate method toward reshaping the body, building muscle, and increasing your metabolism. This method has allowed me more food freedom and flexibility in my lifestyle. But I want you to remember that the key factor for reshaping your body stems from your nutrition and consuming more nutrients to help you build the body of your dreams.

The main lifts are:
1.Hip Thrust
2. Squat
3. Deadlift
4. Military Press
5. Bench
6. Chin Up

The key factors to body recomposition are:
1. Nutrient Dense Food = The goal is to consume more nutrients rather than less calories. Especially more protein and fiber.
2. Stronglifting = Strategic strength training with progressive overload, as opposed to just working out.
3. Cardiovascular Training = Cardio is a bonus or catalyst to fat loss , but will not serve you composition benefits if you cannot control your appetite. This needs to be done with slow progressive time and intensity similar to changing your body’s daily calorie allowance.

If you have any further questions or need further help  changing your body’s composition, reach out to me directly on Instagram @mermaid.bre or by email [email protected]. You can also find out more information about our coaching programs through my website www.mermaidmethod.com 🤙

In this interview episode, I get to sit down with Ernie Niblack, the creator of SlimmThicc Med Spa and Aesthetics, to share his life journey and passion towards helping others enhance their inner and outer beauty as a form of their personal development and growth. We get very vulnerable in this episode and share how beauty goes beyond the surface. Ernie is also an amazing father and soon to be grandfather. 

Prior to being involved in the wellness industry, Ernie spent 20 years of his professional career within the Life Sciences in organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins University, and AstraZeneca focusing in areas of Immunology and Genomics, first in the laboratory, then in Business Development. Ernie has been practicing yoga for over 12 years, which has resulted in countless life-changing transformations both on the mat and off. He has remained an avid outdoorsman, with over 30 years of surfing, snowboarding, rock climbing, and whitewater kayaking. After completing his Yoga Teacher Training in Washington, DC at Flow Yoga Center, he realized that he was able to combine what he learned during his many years in business development with his innate ability and experience to hold sacred space for individuals in a transformational setting. In 2019 he launched Yokohl Retreats, an organization that designs, manages, and markets retreats with yoga and fitness studios. 

You can find Ernie and his Med Spa in Pacific Beach, San Diego or online through his website and social media.

In this solo podcast episode, I share the profound impact of retreats and taking intentional action on bettering your personal well-being. I have the privilege of experiencing these full-cup feels at the UPROAR retreats led by the my inspiring friend, Tahiti Kemper. These retreats serve as a powerful catalyst for self-discovery and transformation, allowing individuals to refuel their lives, while understanding the importance of self-care, and how the wisdom and practices from these retreats can help you navigate the challenges of daily life while nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. 

In this interview episode, I get the opportunity to sit down with my dear friend, Eric Karnezis. Eric is a dynamic entrepreneur, passionate thrill-seeker, and dedicated philanthropist. During our conversation, Eric goes deep into his remarkable life journey, sharing poignant stories about his tumultuous childhood in the foster care system, his struggles with homelessness, and the profound self-discovery that emerged from his time behind bars.

With unwavering determination, Eric has channeled his experiences into a life's mission: giving back to others, particularly by serving the future generations of children in the foster care system. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and a firsthand look at Eric's extraordinary life and commitment to making a positive impact through the "Love is Contagious" scholarship fund. He is currently launching both a  brand-new podcast and 3-part memoir called "Golden Scissors.” Both will be released on November 1st of this year.

His story is absolutely beautiful, giving insight to his past toys true inner peace and freedom by learning love and allowing the light we have within to allow us to master the universe.  Pay attention to the details of this episode, you don’t want to miss it!

Welcome to today’s short sweet solo episode of The M3 Podcast. It was such a special moment being able to share my journey through inspiring experience, speaking to so many women at SDSU’s Girl Gains 1st meeting of the semester. I gave these women an exercise at the beginning of my speech and left them with homework to allow them the opportunity to love and embrace themselves fully through mind, body, and spirit. 

I paint the picture of social media by unraveling the powerful concept that "comparison is the thief of joy." Reminding everyone they are uniquely magical beings. That the importance of seeking and providing support within a community is what allows us to be our best unique selves. Life becomes infinitely more enjoyable when lived within a supportive community. These women inspire one another to take action and contribute positively to their communities. They understand the collective power of individuals coming together, each with their own unique light, to shape a brighter and more positive world.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that, as we navigate life's challenges, we should avoid the trap of comparison, embrace our individuality, and seek strength in community. Tune in for another great example of self-discovery and community empowerment.

In this podcast interview, I sit down with strength and conditioning specialist, Mike Anderson. As one of my very first mentors, Mike provided a fun and inviting workspace for both interns and athletes at Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio. Mike not only imparts insights into his specialized training programs tailored for elite athletes but also sheds light on the remarkable quality that sets him apart as a coach: his genuine relatability. Especially in today's age, where we all know athletes can easily sniff out an inauthentic script, which so many coaches are taught in corporate fitness facilities.

As a full-time dad, Mike's ability to juggle family life with remote training in his home studio is nothing short of inspiring. Through his empathetic approach, he's been able to establish a deep connection with the special elite athletes he guides, many of which we had the privilege of training together and continue their journey towards Olympic greatness.

Tune in to discover how Mike's unique blend of expertise, empathy, and dedication is shaping the future of elite athletic performance. You can find his funny memes on Instagram @AndersonStrengthFitness and make sure to email him directly ([email protected]) for a copy of his eBook to learn more about his training programs and where my method of training originates from.

Welcome to The M3 Podcast with me, your host, Mermaid Bre. I explore the power of the human mind and emotions. In today's solo episode, I dive deep into the realms of fear, self-talk, and the incredible potential that lies within us all. I discuss how to overcome your fears and cultivate a positive inner dialogue that empowers you to achieve your dreams.

I was inspired to share my actions from this episode from another podcast episode on “The School of Greatness” with Lewis Howes and Dr. Joe Dispenza. These two gentlemen discuss the importance of changing yourself through meditation as opposed to healing yourself. Through change, there is belief if who you are now and who you no longer choose to be.

Fear is a universal human emotion, often seen as an obstacle to success. But belief is an even more powerful emotion that helps us overcome those obstacles. You must cultivate a positive inner dialogue and while seek support from mentors and friends in our close circle who pour belief into you and help you overcome your deepest fears. Remember that you have the power to overcome your fears and shape your destiny through the words you say to yourself. Stay fearless, believe in your potential, and keep pursuing your dreams.

Join me on the world’s largest movement meditation September 23rd led by Dr. Joe Dispenza by registering for free! You can also listen to that inspirational episode to learn more about the 3 forms of stress we have and how to transform yourself during the “Walk for the World.”

In this interview episode, I get to sit down with Desmond Jasper to talk about stepping up as a true leader and coach in a time of need. We talk about faith and hard work as the core to our mission in helping others. We understand that being human comes with many lessons and diverted paths, but continuing to picking ourselves up has allowed us to move forward successfully. It's all about "winning the morning" in order to "win the day."

Desmond is a family man first and a true embodiment of faith and leadership. He values having a community and preaches the importance of finding success within that community, because we are born for connection and learn so much through others. Desmond just moved to Texas and is in the process of recreating what he built in San Diego with his fitness family. And I know he will do amazing things out there for his people.
