There comes a point in every practitioners career, where you realize that more needs to be focused on with your client/patient than just nutrition, supplements and training.

Developing as a coach is about more than just knowledge of your craft. It's also about guiding people to their goals. So understanding what that takes can make all the difference in your business and your clients life.

Enter Shadow Work! What is it? Many might say it's focusing on the parts of you that would normally be considered unfavorable. But it is actually a 5 STEP process to unpack limiting beliefs and other patterns that keep you stuck in life ( and in body composition)

But as practitioners I always say, before you do things with clients... you need to try it first! This means looking inward and setting boundaries. What you may notice is holding on to less emotional weight, which can lead to less physical weight.

 
In this episode of The Stress-Reduced Fat Loss™ Podcast, host Ken Sylvan speaks with Stephanie Sibbio ( certified holistic nutritionist, kinesiologist) about Shadow Work...and how its a vital part of any clients fitness journey.

There is always a way. Something my parents taught me. I remember the first time I read about peptides. I had been struggling with a soft tissue injury and treatment wasn't helping. I read about a magical substance to drastically improve healing.

Enter peptides. :What are they? A compound made of at least 2 amino acids linked together. Peptides exude different things in the body. Some of them like BPC-157 can repair not even tendons, muscle, teeth or bone. But also intestines.

BPC-157 is stable in human gastric juice and helps repair both the upper and lower GI tract. This can be taken orally, intramuscularly or sub cutaneous. LL-37 is an anti-microbial peptide that can improve gut recovery from microbe overgrowth.

There are even peptides like Semax that can help with hours of focus and concentration. Without disrupting sleep like caffeine or affecting the nervous system negatively. Peptides have an amazing specificity for its target, with a short half life. Meaning very little organ or tissue build and side effects.

In this episode of The Stress-Reduced Fat Loss™ Podcast, host Ken Sylvan talks with Dr. Calvin Ng about peptides. How they are important ways to help your clients/patients repair and improve health challenges.

I was told by one of my greatest mentors Charles Poliquin, that if you learn more, you earn more. I never forgot that. So I have always read books, that set me apart from everyone else.

Developing as a coach is about more than just knowledge of your craft. It's also about guiding people to their goals. So understanding what that takes can make all the difference in your business and your clients life.

Many times we gravitate so reads that we are comfy with. Books that are in a direction we always go in. But that isn't how you evolve. Reading about practices you didn't even know were out there takes courage. But can upgrade your toolbox for that one client who needs you.

I shared books that shifted my focus has a human being first and a coach second. These books also made me a better person. And I firmly believe you can't lead anyone where you haven't gone.

It's been said that 30 year old men today have testosterone levels of their grandfathers from the 1970s. I am not sure how accurate that is. But definitely more men are suffering from less than ideal levels of testosterone.

This can show up as your male clients feeling unmotivated, chronically tired, unable to lose body fat. Especially in the pec and tricep region. Low sex drive and serious mood shifts.

But why not just hop on TRT. With more and more companies popping up that assess and then deliver to your door. There is absolutely nothing wrong with TRT. But lets make sure we have done EVERYTHING first. It will only allow it to work better with less of a dose needed.

Drew Derby ( registered holistic nutritionist, strength coach, posturologist and much more) breaks down more than just supplements to take. But why your clients may be struggling.

The cosmetic industry is a multi billion dollar industry!! When the difference in one ingredient can shift the profit margins way up, many companies have chosen the dollar over the health of the consumer. Many of your clients are wearing cosmetics of some sort.

On the same page are clients suffering from painful cycles, poor skin issues, or even just not being able to change their bodies in the way they want. The issue is the lack of connection with what goes on the skin and what ends up in the body.

Much of your cosmetics may cover up blemishes or make your skin tone more vibrant. But how many of them do that in a way that toxify your liver, gut and lymphatic system? How many of them are sourced from places carefully. While helping the natives of that place?

What we feed ourselves and our clients does matter. Even clients coming from a place where they barely eat quality protein. Does it matter if they eat wild meats? Is having adequate protein levels enough? Let's dive deeper.

There are some definite differences between farmed and wild meats. Wild meats come from animals that are living in an environment more familiar to them. This can range from literally having meat from animals living in the wild. To animals that roam freely and eat food off the land and not in a feed lot.

So what are some of the positives for animals living in this kind of environment. Probably the most important is the mental health of the animal. Being able to roam outdoors, easily keeps any animal happier. And we know chronically elevated stress hormone, is not great for the health of any animal.

Eating foods that they genetically should be eating yields a happier, healthier animal. So animals in the wild are doing just that. Not eating feeds or foods that are solely there to fatten them up faster. This ends up in a leaner healthier animal. As they usually feel and digest better.

In this episode of The Stress-Reduced Fat Loss™ Podcast, host Ken Sylvan interviews Dr. Pran Yoganathan. On this episode they discuss the benefits of consuming wild meats over farmed ones. As well as how this may help your clients results while helping the world.

In our last episode we spoke about Kambo as a treatment. Also as an interesting support item of our bodies. But in this episode we dive into fungus and how it can show up in our bodies. As well as how do we handle it?

What is fungus? Why do we get it? They are eukaryotic organisms ( meaning they cells) that can be yeast, mould or mushrooms. Some forms will leave within us safely. But become an issue when overgrowth happens. Or when they us degrade dangerous synthetic toxins, heavy metals in our bodies. Some we can inhale from our environment.

So what are some signs or having fungus? Dry skin and scalp issues, eczema, psoriasis, bloating and bowel issues. As well as consistent weight gain. It can even show up as disrupted sleep at night.

But to get fungus to recede, certain things need to happen. Removing some items that feed them or create a breeding ground is key. Like sugars, white potatoes and alcohol. As fungus feeds off of them. As well keeping an eye of wheat, pasteurized dairy, corn, soy and sugar. As these cause inflammation in the gut environment. Which creates an environment for fungus to grow.

In this episode of The Stress-Reduced Fat Loss™ Podcast, host Ken Sylvan interviews Dr. Calvin Ng. On this episode they discuss how to recognize, manage and prevent fungal overgrowth. As well as how to start living intentionally.

In our last episode we spoke about the lymphatic system. Which is important to understand as its the sewer system of the body. But what are other ways to help clients systems repair? Kambo is an interesting support item of our bodies.

In this episode we dive deeper into Kambo and its benefits. What is Kambo? It is the secretion from a frog in the Amazon-giant monkey tree frog or Phyllomedusa bicolor. It contains a lot of beneficial peptides.

These peptides have been studied for their therapeutic effects for HIV/AIDS, autoimmune disease, STDS, Hepatitis, Herpes, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Skin and eye issues, Chronic pain relief, Depression, Anxiety, Digestive Issues, Infections, Chronic Fatigue, Migraines and more.

Kambo can be helpful for a couple things that coaches are unaware of. Great for reducing chronic inflammation, as well as for treatment of candida and other infections.

 It is also a potent detoxifier. The neuropeptides are beneficial for calming the nervous system. It can also support treatment of depression, anxiety and migraines.

In this episode of The Stress-Reduced Fat Loss™ Podcast Ken Sylvan interviews his friend, long time previous business partner and now Trauma-informed Medicine Guide/Advanced Kambo Practitioner Bharat Oza.

In our last episode we spoke about Heavy Metals and how they affect the growth of microbes like parasites. We touched briefly on the affect on the lymphatic system.

In this episode we dive deeper into what the lymphatic system actually is. How it works as well. Understanding the lymphatic system is the missing link in many practitioners tool box. As all organs need drainage for them to properly function.

Unlike veins and arteries, lymph does not flow through its vessels because of a heart like pump. We need movement, breathwork and other things to create proper flow of lymph.

So what things need to be done to drain the lymphatic system? Which can help with toxin removal, heavy metals and so much more.

 
If our clients have a sluggish lymphatic system, they possibly also have skin issues, constipation, cycle and period issues. Even fat loss and weight issues. So understanding when do this and how, is vital to sustained health and fat loss for your clients.

In this episode of The Stress-Reduced Fat Loss™ Podcast Ken Sylvan interviews his good friend Lisa Balsdon, highly respected colleague and owner of Live in Motion and co-owner of LuxLife Retreats. As they discuss , why Lymphatic Drainage is so important when working with clients.
