Harrison Lessans joins Mara and Elysia in preparation for his Guinness World Record attempt (completion!) of the most pull-ups in 24hrs. Breaking it down into 5-6 pull-ups every 5 minutes to hit more than 7600 (the current record), if he keeps that pace he could even hit 8,120. This is no easy task but he goes into detail about motivation, how-to, and strength endurance training. Want to go from Zero Pull-Ups to Hero Pull-Ups?! Check in with shoulder mobility, once impingements are conquered, try a dead hang, scapula retractions, add a long band to the bar as your resistance training wheels, work on lat pulldowns and mid-back engagement, put in the practice and the pull-ups will come. We promise!

Rena Greenberg joins Elysia and Mara to talk the truth about CBD— how does it work? Do you know what you’re buying through all the misinformation about it?
On her deathbed in her 20s, unsolved issue if you ask the doctors, she essentially rescued her own life through nutrition. Her company Rena’s Organics specializes in high potency, organic CBD from the most reliably regulated farms in Colorado to create her supplement line that FRANKLY shouldn’t even be in the supplements category. They are not supplements per se, rather a healthy choice to boost your health regardless of goals with a full explanation as to what it actually does in your body. Potency is labelled and you know exactly what is in each product— do you know what your current “hemp” or “cbd” products are actually made of? On top of this, Easy Willpower focuses on hypnosis and changing the mindset around healthy eating, reward systems, and addiction.
