Fashion designer, model and globetrotter, Claudia Conaglen spends her time between Bali and Hawaii. A previous participant on Bachelor; New Zealand, you can follow her on her adventures through her blog and official website: http://www.claudiaconaglen.com/  

1:10 – Claudia gives the audience a quick summary of what she's currently up to. Having lived in Bali for the past 8 years, she's recently moved back to New Zealand. A woman of many talents and hobbies, Claudia's done fashion design, surfing, and a good range of outdoor sports, and has been featured on Bachelor; New Zealand. One of her personal favorites is writing blogs about health and fitness. She also sells protein products and enjoys educating people about health and business.

2:10 – The most exciting thing happening to her right now is creating an eBook full of healthy recipes and fitness workouts. She also includes key tips on how to think positive – for everyone.  

2:42 "If you have a healthy mind, it creates a healthy lifestyle."

3:05 – Claudia shares with the listeners her story to "help outline the fact," as Harriet puts it, "that your past doesn't necessarily have to equal your future." Growing up, Claudia was the exact opposite of a health food advocate. She would eat junk food, chips, junk, and whatever else was onhand. "Thank God for my genes as I was never overweight," she says, mentioning her mum as a huge influencing factor over her weight as well. "The one thing my mum always did was get us to dance, play lots of sports," As she got older, she drank and partied a lot – definitely not something conducive to her health and wellbeing. She gained a lot of weight, which affected her work as a model. At the age of 22, she moved to Bali where she got really skinny because of the heat and swimming.

04:00 – When she was there, she encountered another set of problems. She ate a lot of Indonesian food there, as it was cheap and delicious. She was unknowingly consuming copious amounts of MSG (monosodium glutamate), and that eventually broke down her immune system. Shortly after, she also found out that she was allergic to 35 different things, including eggs and chicken.

4:56 – Harriet asks Claudia to give a bit more detail on the 35 different foods she grew allergic to. "There's so many people that have no idea that these things are even affecting them," Harriet points out. "How did it show up for you? I mean, you say you're allergic to 35 different things. Did it come on like – was there headaches? Were you feeling sick? Lethargic? What were the symptoms for you?"

05:08 – In 2009, Claudia's friends came to Bali. Two of them had special food intolerances. "I didn't even know what that meant," Claudia admits. "I thought it was just some 'fitness fad.'" A month later, she was eating her regular chicken, rice, and samba (sweet chili sauce) when it happened. "My lips swelled up, and my tongue swelled up, and I'd gone into anaphylactic shock three times – where the back of my throat swells up and I can't breathe? I'd get hives all over my legs and rashes. So, yeah. It's quite dangerous actually. It's not tolerance. It's an allergy for me."

6:10 – Harriet asks Claudia to share some of her more grueling health challenges. She lists her allergies as the number one contender, with her finding out she had polycystic ovarian syndrome at the age of 26 as a close second. Learning that she might not be able to have kids terrified her. She went off the pill and gained a lot of weight (again, affecting her modelling career).

7:06 – "Are you an advocate for polycystic ovarian syndrome? Do you spread your message about health for other women with those [same] problems at all?"

7:15 – "I haven't started it," Claudia says, in response to the question above. "Because I only found out a couple of years ago. I don't really know too much about it. I've just been researching more for myself. I haven't really spread the message about that yet."

8:30 – "What would you say are your 3 Greatest Healthy Living Lessons that you would love to pass along and pass over to our listeners?"

1. Your Health is Your Wealth – "because if you're not healthy," Claudia points out, "how can you work, you know?"

1. Eat good healthy quality food. It is important to spend what you can on buying good quality food. Spending a little extra to make sure your food is all organic is all worth it for your health.

1. It is important to eat a lot of food that has alkaline. Alkaline gives you more energy, whereas acidic food – like coffee or meat – can actually drain you.

10: 39 – "Do you have any models that you love to live by in your life? For example, a piece of advice that was handed down to you from a mentor or something that you just simply believe leads people to having more optimum levels of health?"

10:56 – Claudia's number one belief is this; your health is your greatest asset. "Without your health," Claudia explains, "you can't really do much. I like to be happy," she adds. "And when I'm healthy, I'm very happy."

11:19 – Regarding health, how does Claudia maintain it? She shares her best advice for people to help them stay on their journey to health and wellness. "It's different for everyone," she says. "I have a fast metabolism, so I eat 6-8 times a day." She eats small, frequent meals throughout the day, on top of regular exercise.

12:25 – The Time Travel Moment; if Claudia were to go back ten, fifteen years, and she met her younger self on the street, what would she tell her younger self? The first thing she mentions is to definitely eat more fruits and vegetables. She also admits that she would tell herself to not compare herself to others. "I remember being ten," Claudia shares, "and I wanted to have white skin." As she grew older, she learned to love her skin color. "Learn to love yourself, not compare yourself to others."

14:03 – Has there ever been a time in Claudia's life where she remembers being a "slave" to the feeling of wanting something someone else had? Claudia recounts how her mother always encouraged her to enter beauty pageants as a kid. While she doesn't think that competing against other women in terms of looks was a good thing, she admits that it really helped her confidence and public-speaking skills. "It's all about what looks good for you."  

15:15 – "It doesn't matter what shape or size you are, you should love yourself for who you are."

15:25 – Touching up on her past experience on The Bachelor; New Zealand, Claudia agrees that entering beauty pageants and growing her confidence made it easy for her to join the show. Being in front of the camera didn't make her feel too awkward or uncomfortable. Perhaps the hardest part in general was living with 23 other girls under one roof. Her greatest takeaway from being on the show was to cherish time spent alone. "I think it's always important to have time alone in a situation like that, where you don't always have to be mixing and mingling with everyone." She says. Spending time by yourself makes it possible for you to reflect on your actions and recount what you're grateful for.

19:05 – Harriet takes a moment to talk about giving to others. "If you want to be able to give to others, you need to have an overflowing cup. … If you're not a full person yourself, how can you ever be a person who gives to others?" Harriet says. "You need to learn to love yourself," Claudia agrees. Give yourself that time to eat healthy, do yoga, do your daily things, and then you can be happy and ready to help other people.

20:28 – So what is real health for Claudia? It's not only to have a healthy body, she says, but also to have a healthy mind. "To think clear, happy thoughts and to be positive." The equation for it is 80% diet and 20% exercise.

21:57 – What would she say is one "healthy living golden nugget" to live by? Claudia is a big believer in living an alkalized lifestyle. She believes food is a big factor to society's health, and people don't seem to realize that there's a lot of acidity in food. Eventually, that acid will deteriorate our bodies.

Total Wellness Philosopher Jenna Phillips Ballard is a woman of many talents. Today, she guest stars on the Naked Health Warriors to talk about motivation, being a world-changer, and falling in love with yourself.

1:16 – Jenna tells us a little more about herself; what she does, where she is, her vision and mission for herself.

Jenna shares that she is on "a mission to motivate and inspire people to fall in love with themselves," and rewrite the story of their lives. "Anything's possible," she says, right off the bat. "We can overcome anything." She says this out of pure personal experience. "I've overcome a lot in my life."

2:15 – So, exactly what is Jenna doing now? What is the most exciting thing that is going on for her in her health and wellness industry business right now?

Having started as a personal trainer at the age of 23, Jenna has been in the industry for 10 years now. Her very first client was Ben Stiller, and she describes the experience as quite the journey. Back then, it was all about fitness for her. However, it wasn't long before she realized that she was more than a personal trainer. "I really expanded my profession," Jenna admits. "So I was like; I think I'm going to call myself a Total Wellness Philosopher." She describes herself now as more of a life trainer to my clients. She guides people along a happy relationship and discover who they're meant to be and how to get their message out to the world.

4:02 – We all have this rise to success. What is Jenna's story? What encouraged her to become a personal trainer?

"I would say that my mission – or my journey – began when I was 17 years old. At that time I was a senior in high school." At that time, Jenna recounts that she was experiencing a lot of depression. She admits that she didn't understand the connection between how we treat our bodies and how we ultimately feel. Jenna, like many others, didn't understand what her purpose in life was.

4:49 – "I knew that I was supposed to be a leader of some kind, but I had no clue what I was supposed to be a leader of." Shortly after, Jenna recounts the horrible head trauma accident that put her in a coma. After falling 14 feet out of a barn, the doctors believed that she would never wake up, and even told her parents as much.

"I wound up waking up the next day," she says. "And that was a total miracle." But the accident had left its mark. "I had no short-term memory. I lost the majority of my vocabulary, so I had to basically relearn how to read and write and communicate – put my thoughts into words."

5:46 – She describes it as a very "humbling experience," simply because; "At one point, those were my strengths. So then they became my weaknesses." On top of all that, she was also soon diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes. "So, not only did I have to relearn how to be a human," she says. "I also had to learn what it meant to be diabetic."

6:14 – "I got very clear, very quickly, that how we treat our bodies ultimately dictates the direction of our life." Jenna shares how she initially began this mission to be as health as possible and to guide her life in the right direction. However, she soon realized that it was bigger than what she'd originally planned. "It wasn't just about me."

7:30 – Harriet encourages Jenna to share some of her epiphanies in terms of challenges. What was the hardest, most grueling health challenge Jenna has ever faced, up until now?

The most challenging experience Jenna's had with her health would be her blood sugar imbalance and the transitioning she had to do to a certain different lifestyle. She admits that she's never understood her habits. It wasn't until she decided to stop listening to her doctor and start listening to her body did she achieve the balance her body needed.

10:12 – What are the Top 3 Health Living Lessons she gained from this experience?

1. Eat Real Food as often as possible.
2. Allow yourself to splurge every once in a while. "I don't believe eating clean a hundred percent of the time is healthy, because we have to … allow ourselves to … enjoy what life has to offer!"
3. When we splurge, it doesn't have to be incredibly unhealthy.

"So it really is just like finding that balance. I mean, balance is – for me – the most important thing," Jenna says on the subject. "To really feel like I'm not being deprived." She mentions how she views thoughts as very powerful, capable of creating our own fear – if we let them.

12:18 – Bouncing off the #3 tip, what is Jenna's idea of a splurge?

"My biggest splurge is the most ridiculous chunk – like a tub – of Frozen Yoghurt with, like, everything you can imagine."

13:50 – What would Jenna's 3 Greatest Life Lessons be?

1. Understanding the power of "I Am" – this is one of Jenna's most pivotal moments in her life. "When we actually make up our minds about something, stuff can actually happen." The power of the statement "I Am" is the power of our intention. The power of our mind. Whatever you say after that statement is going to be true.
2. Put Yourself First – Jenna remembers going through this phase where she wanted to please everybody, and it just absolutely drained her. "I was living my life at a much lower level," she says.
3. True Love Does Exist – "True, magical, fairytale love is available for anyone." She recounts being on this mission to find her "perfect man," and in doing so she lost the opportunity for a true man to find her. It wasn't until she shifted her energy from "I will find him" to "I will receive him; he will find me" did she meet the love of her life.

19:10 – If you could go back 20 years in time, what would you tell your old self?

"20 years ago, I was 13," Jenna says, "And that was a really, really tough time for me because I changed schools." She had difficulty adjusting, was bullied, teased, and rejected. She never felt accepted.

"I wasn't cool enough, I wasn't pretty enough, I wasn't fill-in-the-blank enough." She remembers repeating this mantra to herself, and she remembers how limiting it felt.

20:20 – "Leaders are not meant to blend with the masses. There's a reason why you stick out." By trying to fit in, we lose our authentic selves.

21:56 - What does Real Health mean for Jenna, and why is it important?

Real Health is balance. Health and wellness is whatever is sustainable. Anything that we believe will happen with what we eat will actually happen and materialize in our bodies.

25:24 – What does Jenna believe is going to be the sole key things that will aid in shifting the paradigm and allowing our future generation to have a higher quality level of health in their lives?

Her answer is surprisingly simple: Shopping locally. It's all about shifting our priorities, and she believes it's our moral responsibility to support local farmers and business.

25:54 - "We make time for what's important to us."

28:41 – Start of the QuickFire Questions:

28:48 – What is the #1 super weird thing Jenna does when it comes to her diet?

29:36 – What is Jenna's Number One favorite juice currently?

29:54 – What is the best advice Jenna's ever received?

30:00 – What is your go-to thing that you can't live without?

30:20 – Who is your hero?

30:25 – What do you believe is the health industry missing right now?

31:10 – Who would you recommend to be on this podcast?

31:35 – Do you have any last words before we end the show?

"Love all that is you. Every piece of you. Every quirk, every challenge, everything that you've experienced throughout the day – even your negative thoughts – love them, because it's the contrast that gets us really clear on what we truly want."

00:35 – Introducing today's very special guest, Michelle Slayter – a woman on an absolute mission. Despite having numerous talents and acclaims under her belt – coach, speaker, author – she shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, throughout the episode, she discusses some of her amazing products, upcoming projects, retreats, and her latest program; Send Fiji Love.

01:32 – Diving right in, Michelle tells us a little more about herself; who she is, what she does, and her current driving force. She describes herself as a "bridge" between the business world and the spiritual world. She works with conscious entrepreneurs on building businesses that make a difference in the world. "We're not just about profits," she says. "We're also about people and community." She also runs online programs and hosts retreats on the side.

02:34 – Her current project at the moment is building an Eco-Retreat Center in Fiji (where she's calling from) and an organic farm. Next month, she plans to open another retreat center in Talbert.

03:11 – So what is Michelle most excited about in her current business? Part of supporting other people, Michelle says, is being an example of what you share. Having gone through her fair share of struggles and challenges, Michelle is happy to say that she wakes up every day feeling blessed and thoroughly fortunate. "My life is freakin' awesome!" She jokingly says.

03:46 – She is a big believer in the saying; "Stand guard the doorway of your mind," because what goes in, goes out.

04:01 – Michelle shares a bit more about her two current projects that she's most excited about; her retreat center and organic farm in Fiji. Over the span of two years, she's gathered information, drafted plans, and culled together resources for her Fiji retreat center. Finally being able to implement them and get things rolling has given her that feeling of fulfilment like no other. Her "zero waste" policy for her venture that can also create job opportunities for people capable of recycling or reusing waste. All 300 acres of her land have been certified organic by the international standard.

06:26 – Her "zero waste" policy stemmed from two things. First, her own passion for Mother Earth and her desire to simply keep it clean. "I mean, the earth's going to be fine no matter what humans do," she clarifies. "It's actually the existence of the human race that I'm more concerned about. We're the only species that's actively contributing to our own extinction."

07:47 – She was introduced to a lady named Anne-Maree, the founder of MOSS (Models of Success and Sustainability). Anne-Maree's company works closely with an organization called Blue Economy Technology – an organization that is, as she believes, the next step up in the ecoworld. Blue Economy implements Green Economy in a process called "upcycling" to create jobs and businesses from waste product. In turn, Michelle introduced Anne-Maree to her Fiji project, and the zero-waste policy started from there. Michelle's 300 acre lot is now the test field for the rest of the world in terms of how they could live – sustainable, organic, and waste-free.

09:58 – Michelle shares her story; where she came from and what she went through to be where she is today. Growing up in New Zealand, she had always dreamed of being a famous fashion designer. Before she moved to Australia, she had her own fashion brand for about eight years, complete with three signature stores throughout the country. "I worked really hard," she says, "and it feels like a whole different world away from what I'm doing now."

11:11 – "I got to a point where I was just … you know, you've got to love what you do," Michelle says. "And especially when you're working so hard – you just – your work is your life. You get up every day and that's what you do. And I got to a point … where I was like; this is not lighting me up anymore. And I never thought that I would think like that!"

13:08 – "I think the best work that you can do is the work that you do on yourself."

13:45 – She reveals that she's always sort of had an affinity with Fiji. Growing up, her family would always go there for holidays. She even lived on her parents' boat there for about six months. "It's got a little piece of my heart, this country."

14:37 – "The project that I'm building here, it's not about me. It's not about just my visions and aspirations. This is a community project. This is like people coming together, with all of their skills, and shining." After the cyclone hit Fiji, Michelle took it upon herself to start another project; https://gatherchange.com/sendfijilove/

15:40 – "I think people want so much connection," Michelle explains. "But they're, at the same time, afraid of it. It's really about getting off our phones and connecting with people."

16:31 – Michelle has some advice for the woman who is sitting at home, following an old dream that has pretty much run its course, and is simply not feeling lit up. "I know that there are a lot of people out there that – you dread Monday morning, and you praise Friday. And you live for the weekend. I know from experience," Michelle says, "and that's not living." It turns out the trick is simple; let go. "Whenever I try to control my life, I don't know any better than the next person [about] what's best for me. When I allow whatever to show up in my life – and stop being so rigid – that's when the magic shows up. … It's really freeing."

19:28 – If you're looking for your purpose and your passion, "it's really quite simple," Michelle says. "When you're doing something that lights you up … when you're doing something that makes you feel happy … that's when you're on the right path."

23:06 – "You sort of need to live your life from the same point of looking back on it." Michelle shares a personal story from her life, and how she developed this way of looking at things and living life. Losing her mother to cancer, and watching her mother battle the disease for sixteen years, were two things that really influenced her mindset. "Through her death, she showed me how to live."

26:07 – Our host, Harriet Worth, shares a snippet from the book she's written; "Sometimes you need to get away from everything that's impacting your life to truly embrace who you are." This is closely tied in to the retreats Michelle is so fond of hosting. Michelle shares with the audience the experiences and the takeaway one can expect when attending her retreats.

28:17 – "It's not about applying a whole lot of things to your life that you're never going to keep up. It's about implementing small changes into your life and eventually, over a period of time, your life has changed in a big way. And it's permanent."

30:35 – Although promotion hasn't officially started, Michelle shares some huge retreats and collaborations coming up; one with George Kavasilas that focuses on the masculine and feminine energies in both men and women, and how to strike a balance between both. She also has one coming up with Therese Kerr, the mother of supermodel Miranda Kerr and owner of the brand Divine. Their retreat will focus on what we put on our skin – beauty products, body treatments, and so on. She also has two retreats coming up with singer Toni Childs.

33:24 – For those listening who are looking for their purpose or passion, Michelle suggests focusing on your core values. Work out your three core values in life and go from there. For instance, Michelle's highest value is supporting other people.

35:18 – On the subject of working with a team, Michelle admits that she started out as a jack-of-all-trades. Only after she got her first assistant did she realize that finding amazing people and placing them in the right areas was a much more effective strategy. "It sounds like you went [through] a transition, from I can do it all myself," Harriet says, "and then you've come to a realization that's; wait, hang on, as a team – as a collective – we can be, give, have, do, see, so much more."

36:26 – On the subject of asking for help and support, Michelle has created a crowdfunding campaign to get more people involved and to help fasttrack her Fiji project. "The more I get into this project, the bigger I see it," Michelle says. "This is not a small project, so I know I can't do this alone."

"It's just a testament to how well we can flourish when we choose to take time for ourselves – especially when the whole world is falling apart."

Rachel Scott is the Director of Teachers' College and Development YYoga. In addition to chairing the College, she has conceived, structured and created YYoga's 200-hour teacher training, curated the 300-hour, and managed their mentorship and continuing education programs.  Not only a passionate yoga trainer, she "trains the teacher trainers" and have helped develop a world-class faculty passionate about presenting the latest content through progressive teaching methodologies.

She's always been passionate about teacher education and is currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Instructional Systems and Technology.  Previously a teacher trainer for Yoga Works in New York City, she  has also been richly immersed in the business aspects of the yoga world during her work as the Studio Director for YYoga's Yaletown, Teacher Manager for Be Yoga and Yoga Works in New York City, Teacher Manager for Semperviva in Vancouver, and sales specialist for MINDBODY Online.

Her teaching mission is "real-life philosophy meets juicy feeling meets incisive alignment." She invites people to "come breathe, move, and feel. Better."

00:34 – Meet today's guest all the way from Vancouver, Rachel Scott. Rachel is an educator who is into "the art of education." A director of the Teachers College and Development for YYoga, her passion has always been about educating and discovering how to help people become their best through learning experiences. Her personal passion is Health and Wellness, and she lives it through her yoga practice.

01:57 – What's exciting for Rachel right now in her yoga business? Rachel shares a bit about their project, 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, where aspiring yoga teachers can dive a little deeper into the esoteric layers of what yoga is. The 300 Hour is really where people "find their voice as a teacher."

03:52 – Rachel shares a bit about the process or art of guiding people into particular yoga poses (asanas). "[This is] really the art of teaching is to first of all recognize … that we're never going to be able to queue everybody perfectly into a pose because every body is different," Rachel says. "As a yoga teacher, what we do is we kind of recognize that we do the best that we can to teach everybody skilfully, but then also deal with our students one-on-one and recognize that what they need might be different than the person right next to them needs."

04:37 – Rachel uses a process called Dual Actions to guide students into poses. She explains it in further detail, along with the concepts it utilizes such as counter-balance.

05:36 – When people look at Rachel now, they see the success. She shares her story with the audience – her background, her past, where she came from and what she had to go through to be where she is now. She used to live in New York City – a place where, she admits, she easily got stressed out. She describes it as "having a long list of To-Do's" that resulted in her running around, always under pressure. For her, intervention came in the form of a concerned friend who gave her two options; smoke pot or do yoga. Obviously, she elected the latter. "It was so amazingly restorative," she shares, "for me to be … in a space that felt safe. Where I could breathe and be."

07:03 – One of the interesting things that happened to her was after a few years of doing yoga, her body started to break down. She later on found out that because she invested so much time into yoga, her body – instead of healing – was starting to get injured. She wound up taking a year off the practice to round out her wellness regime. "Yoga is an amazing physical practice [and] an amazing mental practice, but we actually have to have context for this."

08:39 – What other challenges or "big things" was Rachel able to overcome or move forward from in terms of healthy living? She gives three tips regarding this:

1. "What I've really realized is that in order to be healthy, we want to be really resilient, and we want to be really functional."
2. Don't forget to breathe!
3. Enjoy your sensuality

11:06 – What's one piece of advice Rachel would love to give the listeners?

12:10 – What's the best transformation Rachel's ever seen – whether in the teachers she's trained or the students who come to her classes? Rachel shares the story of one exceptional woman who's gone through so much hardships in her personal life and her relationships and has emerged on the other end, stronger and more whole. "It's just … a testament to how well we can flourish when we choose to take time for ourselves – especially when the whole world is falling apart."

13:40 – What is one thing that she believes the listeners should do to make their movement or take the first step towards their ideal health? "Willing to be uncomfortable," Rachel says. "Learning to tolerate that … bitter-sweetness of being human – if we can just sit in that feeling of being a little uncertain and being groundless … it allows us to lean into our hearts a little bit more."

15:58 – If Rachel could go back in time, twenty years back, and tell her younger self one thing, what would it be?

17:58 – What is "real health" for Rachel? Why is it important to her? "It's  more about trusting that if we slow down and listen, we have a really good sense of what it means to take care of ourselves. And then [we] allow ourselves to follow that intuition."

Rather than looking at people as symptoms of problems, or things to be fixed. … I think we need to look at people as individual people. … Looking at the whole picture rather than just parsing people into little bits that we deal with. [I think that] if we do that … we'll humanize ourselves again. And we won't be afraid to be different, because everybody needs to be a little different."

25:14 – Any last piece of advice? "Enjoy your bodies. Enjoy being sensual. Increase your capacity for pleasure. The more that we can enjoy the pleasure of our bodies, the more we walk with grace in the world. And love."

00:34 – Our host introduces the guests for today; Dr. Anthony and Kate Golle – 2 incredible changemakers in terms of their personal health and the health of those around them. Kate is all about helping every family around her to raise their kids and raise them well. Dr. Anthony is all about human performance – helping people get over their internal story, move past it, and have an absolutely amazing life.

01:20 – Kate goes into a little more detail about what it is they ultimately do to help people. Together, they are extremely passionate about guiding people to live the best possible version of themselves.

02:00 – Dr. Anthony explains what they're currently doing, and what inspires them and motivates them to help the kind of person or people they love helping. He mentions that he believes a good amount of their passion stems from sorrow – just looking at the health statistics of people in New Zealand, Australia, and all over the world, it's "definitely heading in the wrong direction," he says.

02:29 – "I think, at the moment, health is made to be something that's really complex and confusing when really it's not. So our passion comes from … bridging the gap between where people are and where they know they should be and making simple upgrades so that they can express their full potential." – Dr. Anthony Golle

03:37 – "Health can be simple by simple changes." – Harriet Worth

03:57 – Dr. Anthony and Kate share a little more about their story. They've accomplished a lot on their journey; five chiropractic studios, Body Brilliant, serving as Tony Robbin's chiropractor, a case study movie "Overfed and Undernourished", and more. In this segment, they share their respective backgrounds; where they came from, what they did to get here, and how they used their past as a motivation to move forward. Dr. Anthony himself struggled with chronic fatigue and frequent excruciating headaches. It took a trip to the hospital for him to realize what he was meant to do.

07:48 – Kate grew up with a Mum who was a nurse, meaning Kate was in the hospital a lot when she was younger. She never thought she had issues with her body until she had her spine checked up. The x-rays showed her there was a lot more going on than she's originally thought.

09:45 – Dr. Anthony shares their top three healthy living lessons to the listeners.

• Nutrition is really foundational. Simply getting back to basics around nutrition is sufficient
• Cleansing your body
• Mental health

13:58 – Kate relates what they feel is their more standout story of transformation that they've seen, experienced, and helped through – the story of their nephew, as shown in "Overfed and Undernourished."

17:16 – I'd love to know some of the takeaways people get when they experience spending time with you moving back into their best health. They mostly get into this place where they completely understand the basics of health and practicality of being healthy. He's dealt with so many people who have what he terms "allopathy" – simply treating a symptom for the sake of treating the symptom. Symptom simply means a sign of something else. The problem with allopathy is that you're treating the symptom without ever getting to the root of the problem – the something else.

18:53 – On the opposite end of allopathy, you have "Wellness", "Holism", and "Vitality." These physical and mental states ask the question; how do I get back to my best? How do I get back to full function? It's not so much about getting rid of the symptoms as it is allowing your body to do its best work.

19:49 – A third group of people are the ones who understand; just because I'm not sick, doesn't mean I'm well.

21:14 – What is real health for you?

24:09 – Start of the QuickFire Questions, where our host asks our guests a series of quick questions and they answer as fast and as succinctly as they can.

24: 15 – "Who is your hero?"

24:29 – "What's the number one super weird but effective thing you guys do as a couple?"

25:11 – "What is your number one rule for efficiency in your household?"

25:38 – "What is the number one piece of investment, book, or resource that you'd recommend for people who are wanting to improve their health today?"

26:13 – "Who would you two like to see featured on this podcast?"

27:18 – Head to www.tribalwellness.com/reconnect to find out a little more about Dr. Anthony and Kate's 10 Day Challenge.  

27:59 – Any last piece of advice for the listeners? "Sometimes we make life so complex, and we worry about what other people are thinking and what we are or aren't doing. But, at the end of the day, just do what makes you happy. […] When you start to have those shifts in your mindset, then you're just gonna make better choices." – Dr. Anthony Golle

BePure is the culmination of his experience helping people find optimal health. Ben has made it his mission to build a new future of health by empowering and educating New Zealanders on the importance of nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. Ben lives and breathes what he teaches. He enjoys traditional, nourishing practices in a modern setting. Currently he lives with his wife and two daughters on a 15 acre, organic farm in the Hawke's Bay where they grow over 80% of the food the family eats. Through his work with one-on-one clients at the BePure clinic, he has developed the BePure range to assist with everyday, abundant health. Ben works closely with Olympic athletes, leading New Zealand sports teams and individuals on their nutrition and lifestyle interventions. He has devoted his life to helping transform people's lives and improving their performance.

00:05 – Meet this show's guest, Ben Warren – a nutrition and health expert looking to "build the future of health by changing the way we are eating."

00:38 – Ben shares a little more about his background; who he is, what he does, and how he got there. He's been interested in the performance of the human body practically his whole life, and he was obsessed with learning how things worked so he could make them perform better. This led to an exemplary golf career and scholarship. Unfortunately, it ended due to a severe back injury. True to his nature, Ben was fascinated with his back injury and wanted to know more. He dedicated the next two years of his life to retraining and learning about body performance and performance health and the like. He ended up doing a Master's Degree in holistic nutrition. He's been holding clinical practice for the last eleven years. He now has a large clinical team dedicated to building the future of health.

02:00 – Ben shares a little more about what he does and who he (and his clinic) helps back in New Zealand. Ben spends a good amount of his time doing clinical practice. He oversees an extensive testing program called "Vitality and Longevity Particles." He spends the other half of his time educating people. In fact, there are a number of celebrities and athletes in New Zealand who follow his work. His focus is purely on his patients and their bodies, and how he can help their body's cells work as well as possible.

03:46 – Ben's journey; how he started out, and the events that impacted him to move forward. He had major health issues for years but that didn't discourage him. "For me," he says, "it doesn't really matter what somebody's got going on in their body. We're rebuilding our bodies every day."

05:01 – "The problem is that – we just get used to re-habituating, or we get used to whatever's going on in our bodies. So we just get used to lower energy and you get used to feeling joint pain or something, and people don't really think there's anything to do about it. … That shouldn't be normal."

05:27 – What was Ben's lowest point in his health journey? Ben considers his back injury to be one of the lower points in his life. He was still able to help people as a golf coach, but "it just didn't feel like I was doing what I was here to do."

07:17 – "The thing about health it is [that] it's fluid. It is a moving object. It's changing every moment of every day and you've got to continue … to experience it."

07:32 – Ben shares three moments in his health journey that he made "bad" health decisions – especially considering his multiple health challenges (dairy intolerances, back problems, etc.). What would he consider his leverage points? From misassociating being "bloated" with being "full", staying away from softdrinks and dairy (the things people normally don't think twice about drinking), his journey has been a testament of his discipline and perseverance to being better.

09:39 – "I think there's so much potency," Harriet opines, "in absolutely understanding your body a hundred percent."

10:01 – What is Ben's favorite or most outstanding testimonial that he's seen or experienced? He shares one of his more recent cases; an eleven-year-old with juvenile arthritis and her incredible journey to becoming perfectly healthy and perfectly active. "To take somebody who's – pretty much, that's all she's ever known her whole life was constant joint pain and medications – and to now be able to live just a normal life…" Ben recalls that when he asked her what she wanted, she replied that she simply wanted to play sports. "That for me is just gold."

12:34 – What is the one big piece of advice Ben would give to someone about their health?

13:44 – What does Ben believe are the three greatest tips he can give the listeners to remember or think about when they do decide to make that conscious effort regarding their best health?

• Find a great practitioner willing to work with you
• Get good testing (don't just guess!)
• Move towards a gluten-free diet

15:22 – What is the one thing you believe that all listeners should do today to make a movement towards their ideal health? Something they can all do regardless of circumstance, statues, etc., -- something immediately actionable.

16:17 – Commit to yourself. "At the end of the day," Ben says, "that commitment to yourself of this is what I want … that will hold that motivation over time, over years [and] have you experience what you want to experience in life."

16:45 – If Ben could go back in time, say 20 years for example, and tell his younger self one specific thing, what would it be? "I'd probably say quit golf, and go learn nutrition."

18:32 – "One of our mottos," Harriet says, "one of the things we talk a lot about on the Naked Health Podcast is real health. Now, real health is different every single person." What is "real health" for Ben, and why is it important in his life?

19:00 – "Real health, for me, is having phenomenal energy. … It's how you feel. Do you feel alive? Do you feel full of passion?"

20:37 – What matters most to Ben about his personal health right now?

21:45 – What does Ben believe is one healthy living standard that he feels every single person should be living by? "If people just held the fact that we are what we eat. If people could just hold that and just walk around with that … I think we'd see a huge improvement in health."

23:40 – Start of the QuickFire Round, where our host asks a serious of simple questions and the guest tries to answer them as quickly and succinctly as possible.

23:46 – "What is the number one most super weird but effective thing you do when it comes to your diet?"

24:33 – "What's the best advice you've received to date? (doesn't have to be health related)"

25:52 – "What is your go-to thing that you cannot live without, currently?"

26:29 – "Who is your hero?"

27:27 – "What in the health industry is missing? What do you think the world really needs most to move past the challenges that we're currently experiencing?"

28:22 – "Who – if anyone – would you like to see featured on this podcast?"

29:32 – Want to contact Ben Warren? Would you like to find out more about what he does and what he offers? Go to his official website, www.bepure.co.nz , and feel free to have a look around.

30:09 – Ben's message to the listeners; "Enjoy your life."
