The Model Health Show

Initially I was surprised to find out that poor sleep quality has been linked to financial debt and lower income. In our culture, we're led to believe that in order to be successful you've got to burn the midnight oil, keep working hard until you make it, and you can always sleep when you're dead. And there lies the problem.

According to the research, if you're not more mindful of your sleep quality, your chances of dying prematurely can skyrocket. And not only that, the very money that you're sacrificing sleep to make, will be the same money you pay to try to get your health back again.

Today is a powerhouse show that's going to help you optimize your sleep, be more productive, and add more vitality into your life. You're going to learn incredible insights about the connection between sleep and sex, how sleep is the secret to long-term fat loss, plus a whole lot more. Fair warning: This may cause you to have the best sleep ever!

Everyday, people all over the world are adopting a healthier lifestyle. More people are going vegan, paleo, primal, or "real food" than ever before.

What's causing this cultural shift is: 1) people are sick and tired of being sick and tired and 2) beliefs about food bind us together, create communities, and communities inherently grow.

With the internet eliminating the borders of people sharing ideas, beliefs, and insights, these communities are expanding rapidly. Even though the health conversation has exploded worldwide, different views by different communities can bring people together AND tear people apart. We're going to talk in depth about this today.

We're also going to talk with our special guest, Alex Jamieson, about her experience being a part of the Oscar nominated film Supersize Me. She's going to share the intimate effects it had on her life, as well as our culture at large. We're going to cover food cravings, raw vs. cooked food, mistakes people make on diets, plus a whole lot more. Get ready, because this episode is powerful!

• How Alex went from being sick and overweight to a renowned gourmet chef and health coach.
• What Alex's experience in the film Supersize Me taught her about food and illness.
• How Supersize Me changed the landscape of food around the world.
• The surprising story of how Alex transitioned out of a vegan lifestyle.
• Why our genes need to be considered when choosing the foods we eat.
• How labeling the way we eat can unknowingly separate ourselves from others.
• Why fear can drive people to keep secrets about the foods they eat.
• The critical piece that people mistake with Albert Einstein's vegetarian perspective.
• What common factor can unite us to have a healthier, happier society.
• Why a vegan diet can be incredibly healing (for the right people at the right time).
• Why eating more raw foods can be critical to your health and vitality.
• How cravings can be misconstrued and why we need to honor our cravings.
• The #1 mistake people make on a vegan diet.

I recently gave a short presentation in front of a group of over 7,000 people. They were all there as cancer survivors, or the loved ones of those who've survived or who have lost their fight. This event really sparked something in me. To witness a sea of people all coming together for one purpose, but to not know what the cause of this disease is really broke my heart.

Honestly, I have spoken for audiences big and small; high pressure situations and euphoric situations alike. None of those instances phased me much. But this event made it difficult for me to speak.

I wanted to yell, and scream that this doesn't have to happen! I wanted to take each person by the hand, sit them down, and talk about how we can end this struggle, and make a better life for our future generations. Instead, I had just a few minutes to give them some hope... And to give them something valuable to walk away with to better the chances in their fight.

Well, I know that fighting is not the road to take. It's bigger than a fight. It's something more courageous. It's having the audacity to love yourself enough that you will pay unyielding attention to yourself. You will finally pay attention to your body, pay attention to the nutrition it requires; the movement it requires; the rest it requires; and the appreciation it requires to make you the best you possible.

In this episode you're going to hear from bestselling author Ty Bollinger about how we can make this happen. You're going to learn how we can take our power back as free, sovereign individuals to live a life that's worthy of us.

You don't have to be afraid of cancer. This episode will prove it to you. Cancer doesn't have to be the end of your story. As a matter of fact, there are countless people who've eliminated cancer from their body through what Ty is sharing that will tell you it was actually the beginning of their story. Including Kristy, whose scans are below showing what's possible in as little as one month. Enjoy this episode and share it generously!

• 3 things to address immediately if conventional physicians give you a cancer diagnosis.
• How the nocebo effect can take your life faster than cancer will.
• The story of Kristy, the young mother of 3 who was diagnosed with breast cancer (see her scans below.)
• How the function of your internal organs impacts cancer development.
• What 3 specific phases I use to assist many cancer patients.
• What storied medicinal mushroom can incite programmed cell death in cancer cells.
• How chemotherapy affects human health long-term (the truth).
• How sugar fuels cancer cells.
• The shocking survival rate for people treated with chemotherapy (this long-term study reveals it all!)
• What form of cancer treatment is shown to be 93 percent effective at the one-year mark.
• Why pancreatic cancer is so aggressive (and how to stop it.)
• Why cancer doesn't just "happen" and what actually triggers cancer cell development.
• What leading breast cancer treatment is now classified as a Class A carcinogen.
• The must-see study showing how GMO foods are heavily linked to cancer.

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're looking at the many benefits of massage therapy. Massage has been clinically proven to help reduce depression and anxiety, improve hormone function, and boost the immune system. There are very few treatments that have such a wide array of benefits, and the history of massage itself may surprise you.

Massage therapy is documented in some of the most storied ancient traditions (which you'll learn about today). Yet, even though it has a rich history, and it's clinically proven to be effective, massage has it fallen out of practice in modern medicine. Today you're going to understand why, and how massage is making a huge comeback in treatment for health and wellness.

There are many forms and "styles" of massage to choose from. I've personally experienced deep tissue massage, Thai massage, reflexology, sports massage, Swedish massage, and even massage derived from Ayurveda. They all have unique aspects, but they all provide tremendous value when administered by a trained massage therapist.

If you haven't gotten a massage for a while, this show is definitely going to inspire you to take that extra care of yourself, and make massage therapy a more consistent part of your life.

• The surprising percentage of people who get massages.
• Why you need to pay attention to the oils and lotions you put on your skin.
• Which ancient cultures utilized massage as a cornerstone of health.
• What Hippocrates, the "father of modern medicine", had to say about massage.
• Why massage has been pulled out of hospitals and replaced by medication.
• The different bodily systems that massage can help.
• What "feel good hormone" is instantly increased when touched by another person.
• Why massage is far better for localizing treatment than drugs are.
• How massage assists systemic healing too.
• The incredible clinical studies that show the benefits of massage.
• The impact that massage has on hormone and immune function.
• How massage intelligently affects inflammation.
• A surprising study showing how massage compares to drugs for pain and functionality.
• When the best time to get a massage is if you workout.
• The incredible impact massage has on infants and premature babies.
• The dangers of taking antibiotics haphazardly.
• What some of the best forms of massage are.
• What the benefits of deep tissue massage are (and my Karate Man story).
• How often you are recommended to get a massage.

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're sharing exercise secrets for a better body and better health. When it comes to exercise programs, there isn't really much new under the sun. Whatever's popular has usually been here before in some form or fashion. P90-X, Bootcamps, Supersets, drop sets, 300 different types of yoga, pilates, sprint training, cross fit, and countless other exercise approaches claim to be the best thing ever, but really apply many of the same principles.

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're covering the important topic of body image and self-esteem. Recently there's been alarming data revealed about body image and the media.

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're discussing one of the biggest underlying causes of poor health and unwanted weight gain. It's a highly misunderstood phenomenon called STRESS.

Stress is defined as a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. The definition of stress makes it sound even worse, but stress really doesn't have to be all that bad.

You see, we actually need stress to grow, develop, and change. Mentally, physically, and spiritually stress helps us to reach more of our potential. The problem is when chronic stress creeps in, and individuals don't have stress management strategies to deal with it. The result is over 90 percent of all physician visits today are for stress-related illnesses. And if stress goes unchecked, if can also lead to excess body fat, poor mental performance, and even chronic depression. But how does stress do all of this really?

In today's episode your going to learn exactly how stress works inside your brain, organs, and body overall. You're going to learn what the symptoms of stress are, simple tips for stress relief, plus a whole lot more to help you master stress for good.

• Why cortisol and DHEA are two opposite, but important hormones.
