MAC Performance Podcast

DESCRIPTION
Sugar is a drug. It’s not going to kill you as fast as heroin or cocaine, but eventually, it can directly contribute to a shortened lifespan. Our body reacts to sugar in a similarly addictive way, but unlike hard drugs, sugar is readily available on every shelf in every grocery store and gas station. Join us this week as we explore ways to end our relationship with sugar in order to live longer and better.

Dawn is a certified health coach, founder of Dawn Nava Coaching, and creator of the 7-Day Sugar Slay. But not long ago she was also a closet sugar addict and depended on the sweet stuff to get through her days. As a result she was overweight, borderline depressed, moody, had ZERO energy and moved through each day in a fog. At the time she didn’t realize that all of this misery was directly linked to her sugar habits. When she discovered that eating sugar was throwing off her hormones and padding her belly with extra layers of fat, she knew it was time to reset her diet. After slaying sugar, her life turned around. She had the energy of her 25-year-old self. Her moods leveled out, she was able to focus, and she was easily fitting into her clothes again. It’s now her passion to help other women over 40 who are suffering like she did to ditch sugar and discover the power, freedom, and transformation that come with living a sweet life without the sweet stuff.

The internet and social media have been great for information and education. They have also been equally destructive in teaching people, especially young people, that they need to look a certain way to be healthy. While certain levels of excess body fat do have direct correlations with increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, most people who are “over-weight” are still perfectly healthy and only society is saying otherwise. Join us as we investigate the destructive nature of negative body image and how most claims are outright false.

Nearly every person has some experience with toxic relationships. Whether it be personally or via a close friend or family member. It is also important to remember that toxic relationships are not gender exclusive. Either partner can be the aggressor or the victim. It is also common to have two aggressors in a “water and oil” type situation where there may have been warning signs from the very start. Join us this week as we examine the phenomenon of toxic relationships and how we can learn to recognize, heal/coup, and ultimately avoid them completely.

I’m a Vegan. This statement causes many mixed emotions in people. Some fully agree and follow a Vegan lifestyle themselves, while others believe in a higher power based solely on the existence of bacon. No one diet or lifestyle is perfect for everyone, but there is no denying the impact that animal farming has had on the planet. Join us this week as we learn how even a slightly less animal product infused diet by everyone could dramatically impact our planet in a positive way.

Movies and T.V. often do not show an accurate representation of a person after child birth. What is accurate is how they are often treated by medical professionals in that they give birth, and then they are sent out the door with a nice bill and just enough education to know that shaking a baby is bad, that’s it. Postpartum is often associated with the word depression, but it simply means any point after child birth, and the affects are not only mental. Join us as we learn what postpartum really means and how mothers can actively aid in their own recovery when the hospital setting has not helped.

Career ending injury. It’s a term anyone who watches sports has most likely heard before. But what about simply, an activity ending injury for those of us who don’t base our careers on sports? Pilates is a term most people have at least heard once or twice in their lives but maybe never really understood what it is. Join us as we hear a story of redemption from a Pilates instructor helping those in a similar position get back to their active lives.

Clutter, stuff, things we don’t need. Call them what you will, but all of us most likely have more stuff than we need. It’s interesting how we justify to ourselves when we debate getting rid of some arbitrary or superfluous item. Join us this week as we try to figure out why we hold on to things, or more interestingly, why we don’t get rid of them.

What is FAKTR, and what is it not. If you have been with us for a while you have no doubt heard Dr. Mac shamelessly plug its concepts and it benfits her patients. However, there is some misinterpretation as to what it is and how it can help people. Join us this week as we explore many ideas behind pain management with a guest who is kind of an expert in this field of FAKTR…maybe.
