I ran a poll on my Instagram the other day (@tyler_egan) asking my friends and piers "How many other poeple can get stuck in their own negative thoughts?" and 86% of my followers said they do. In this episode I'd like to discuss why this is. Connect with me :)  Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/

The real American problem continues. We've covered Obesity & Heart Disease thus far, and next up is Type II Diabetes These issues are MASSIVE, and they're killing many American's each year. The government doesn't want to bring more awareness surrounding them, the media doesn't, and clearly pharma companies don't either. That's why it's so important for us to talk about these issues, and continue to educate ourselves because it's our health, which means it's in our control. My Sources CDC:https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/features/diabetes-stat-report.html CDC on Childhood Diabetes:https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/prevent-type-2/type-2-kids.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Ffeatures%2Fprevent-diabetes-kids%2Findex.html Mayo Clinic:https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/type-2-diabetes/symptoms-causes/syc-20351193 WHO:https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/diabetes WebMDhttps://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-causes  Connect with me :)  Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/

The real American problem (more like world problem) isn't just the fact that we have a virus running around causing mayhem. It's the fact that lifestyle diseases, diseases that are in your control, are killing hundred of thousands each year, and nobody wants to talk about it. Not the mainstream media and most certainly not the government. It's ridiculous. Instead we're scared out of our minds because of a virus, a virus that that only certain doctors are aloud to speak about, while others are censored or kicked off of social media or big tech platforms. So how are we ever going to know what to do? What we do know is diseases like Heart Disease (which is what I discuss today) are in your control and we do know what can help prevent them. So wake up. Take control of your health, (mentally, physically, and spiritually) and lets start making a difference. Mayo Clinic:https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/in-depth/heart-disease-prevention/art-20046502  CDC:https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/docs/ConsumerEd_HeartDisease.pdf  Connect with me :)  Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/

Covid-19 is sweeping the nation, disrupting normal life as we know it, economically, politically, and (crazy enough) socially. Who knows what's true anymore? Masks now equal being healthy, or at the very least, you'll be shamed for not wearing one. What if I told you there we other health concerns, that things like Obesity and Heart Disease are among the leading causes of death, and not only do we fully understand this, but we may even be able to prevent it. Today I take a dive into (one of) the real American problems, and the fact that we need to do better as a society. My SourcesCDC Statisticshttps://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.htmlhttps://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/childhood.htmhttps://www.cdc.gov/genomics/resources/diseases/obesity/index.htm Mayo Clinic Informationhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/obesity/symptoms-causes/syc-20375742 Obesity Defined.https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/obesity Connect with me :)  Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/

Should you wear a mask? Or shouldn't you? I believe, that is your RIGHT to decide which side of the argument you'd like to be on. I personally, am not convinced one way or the other. I still have yet to see any concrete evidence that we need to wear masks, BUT I'm not convinced we're okay without masks. The bigger issue to me is that adequate nutrition, drinking water, getting quality sleep, and exercising regularly are not being talked about. Instead, we can go to bars, we can go to fast food restaurants, we can treat our body's like garbage, and we're NOT talking about it. Washington Post Articlehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/06/15/patients-with-underlying-conditions-were-12-times-more-likely-die-covid-19-than-otherwise-healthy-people-cdc-finds/  Covid "Myths" WHOhttps://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters   Connect with me :)  Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/

The world of supplements is confusing, there's a bunch of them and they're (generally speaking) looked as "healthy" and "beneficial." I would fully disagree with this. Now, I'm not saying there aren't useful supplements out there, I am not saying some people can't gain benefit from them, but for the majority of us... They're useless and completely unnecessary, but stick around and find out more! Research on Creatine. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12945830/ Research on Caffeinehttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-018-0939-8 L-Carnitinehttps://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1026/l-carnitine  Connect with me :)  Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/

"Get out of your head and step into your greateness." - Les Brown(I believe that's who the quote was by lol) Anyway, today I talk about how we need to stop lying to ourselves. Excuse after excuse after excuse! SO MANY EXCUSES, just stop! Stop making excuses, stop lying to yourself. Be honest with yourself about what you want and where you're going. Stop comparing yourself to the person you see next to you, you are your own person! You don't have to be like anybody else, you have to be like yourself, and that is called self awareness. With self-awareness comes the knowledge of what you're capable of and what you TRULY want!  Connect with me :)  Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/

Very important, but (very) often overlooked.. Stability and Mobility are two very crucial aspects to your health and fitness journey. Most people go to the gym and will do some minor stability & mobility training, but more so because an exercise their doing just so happens to challenge these modalities, not because it's intentional. Although, it should be. Proper Stability & Mobility are VITAL to optimal health, and proper movement. They're also vital for those of you who want to get as strong as possible. Stay tuned & get your notebook out, you may learn something!  Connect with me :) Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsor https://plantsandprs.podbean.com/ (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast)  My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/
