      • 133 The Insane Benefits of Water Fasting

        Today I want to talk about the insane benefits of water fasting. Last week, I decided to join a good friend of mine in a fast he's a fasting expert. I guess you could say he's gone up to 30 days without food before.

        Now me on the other hand, I  never really ever fasted in my entire life outside of intermittent fasting. I've read about it, I've heard about it, but I've never done it. I've never gone days on end without eating any food. But fasting for a longer period of time is something I've always really wanted to try. So when my buddy said, “Hey man, I'm gonna do a fast for the week” and I was like, I'll join you, what do I need to do? Now it's funny to me, because when it comes to trying new things,

        I have this way of being where I don't like to dip my toes slowly instead of just like, I dive in headfirst, this is what I do. And I'll have to tell you, it was amazing. I'll tell you about it in this episode, not even share some of the benefits that science is showing about fasting.

        So if you're at a place where you want to take your connection to God, source, universe, whatever you want to call that to the next level, or maybe you just simply want to sharpen your mind and body. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

                            Today I'm bringing on a guest to share her story of how to let go of expectations. Everyone experiences adversity in their lives and it seems like no person on earth goes through this life without facing their own demons. And I found oftentimes our demons can actually be a reflection of the expectations that we carry from ourselves. These can be ones that we've adopted from others or made up ourselves. And today's guest has an incredible story. My hope is it will inspire you to stay the course and create whatever it is that you feel called to create. So if you're facing some adversity right now and want some inspiration and motivation, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

                            Today’s guest is Elian Haan. I first met her back in my hometown, when I was an active member of the Chamber of Commerce. She's full of incredible energy and she had quite the life experience. And I'm really excited for her to share her story of overcoming adversity from moving from the Netherlands to America and really starting over from zero. She's always been a prominent figure in the fitness industry. In 2015, she started as a wellness coach at a National Addiction Rehab facility where patients stay for 30 to 90 days in recovery. She was asked to develop the wellness curriculum and help people overcome addiction through different styles of movement. She's also a life coach who believes in physical healing and the power of energy and knows firsthand how body movement can have an immediate impact on anxiety and depression.

                                Today I want to talk about putting your money where your mouth is I had an experience this week where I was tested a bit and I got to decide if I was willing to take a stand for my values or not. I think a lot of people don't really consciously spin their money. And I believe that when we start to demonstrate our values to ourselves and those close to us, and those that we just encounter, like we are able to demonstrate our values by the way that we consciously spend your money. And I believe it's important that we do this and I'll talk about why in this episode. So with that being said, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

                                  • 126 Tap Water vs Bottled Water with Marie Gardiner

                                    In today’s episode I brought a guest to talk about something a lot of people don't talk about, which is water. Water. Crazy, right? I thought that since 60% of the human adult body consists of water, we should really become more aware of how much water we should put into our bodies and the quality of the water that we consume.

                                    Did you know that the brain and the heart are composed of 73% water, like even our bones consist of 31% water. Now here's the kicker, even though water covers 71% of the Earth's surface and 60% of the human body, 75% of all Americans are suffering from chronic dehydration. And I'm here to tell you like if you're dehydrated at a cellular level in your body, your body's in scarcity. And if your body's in scarcity at a cellular level, how can you expect yourself to go forth and create an experience and abundant life, if at a cellular level, you're not in abundance, and have you considered that you can't.

                                    Because how we show up in one area of our lives, how you show up in one hour of your life is how you're going to show up in the other areas of your life. I believe when you have the discipline to handle and be responsible for some of the basics of life, like making sure you're hydrated every day, there's a direct correlation on ensuring the other areas of your life are full as well. So if you wanna learn how to ensure that you're hydrated, and being abundant at a cellular level, we're gonna dive into some water day and bring on an expert so sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

                                    Today's guest is Marie Gardener. She's a health and hydration coach. She teaches people all about water and she uses antioxidant water to really help her clients neutralize oxidative stress and we will talk about that in this episode and the damage that they experienced so they can really reclaim their lives and feel more energetic and just really live better and longer and have better quality of life.
