‘From fractions to fitness’ describes Danielle Natoni and her transition from being a healthy teacher to a fitness expert perfectly. This former math teacher is now a Beachbody coach, the Creative Director for Shaun T, Master Trainer, Instagram Influencer and Insanity Live Format Expert. She is a mother to two girls and wife to the husband she met on the set of an Insanity infomercial. Journey…1:45 - Danielle grew up with healthy parents and has always been into health and fitness. Being fit was a part of who she was. After having two kids, trying to finish college, working two jobs, and finding herself in tons of debt at the age of twenty-two; she realized that she needed to come up with a solution. She thought about things she could do to provide herself a steady stream of income. Danielle always found a way to pay her gym membership because that was where she found her happiness. So she started teaching group fitness classes and then got her personal training certificate to do something she loves while simultaneously earning some extra money. She completed the Insanity program and was asked to be in the infomercial; it is easy to say that the rest is history! www.iamfitandfunky.com…9:15 - Danielle loves Beachbody and the community she has built through that community. She also wants people to know that there is more to life than fitness! Be on the lookout for some new programs and a new site: daniellenatoni.com. She will still maintain working with Shaun T and her Team Beachbody. She’s excited to provide people, women especially, with the tools to be a successful entrepreneur on top of being a mom/dad and a wife/husband. Mathercizes….11:45 - Kids are getting more and more sedentary. Recess is the first thing that gets taken away from students. Danielle taught 5th grade and her students only had PE twice a week. The idea that a child can sit in a chair for eight hours a day is outdated. Her goal was to incorporate movement as much as possible. To practice for a standardized test, Danielle came up with a solution. Her students would work on a problem as a class and after solving it, they would choose a movement to perform. She found her students behaved better and she noticed her brains seemed to function at higher capacities. Fitness in the Family…15:30 - Danielle has two daughters and sometimes it can be a chore to get them to work out. They both play volleyball and are athletic. Her youngest has Tourette’s syndrome and goes to a trainer (who also has Tourette’s) twice a week to work through her disorder. She models healthy behavior and wants to point out that she does it because it makes her feel good; not to be skinny. As they get older, Danielle hopes her healthy habits will be instilled in them. Nutrition…18:30 - Nothing is black and white. Danielle follows a modified Paleo lifestyle; she stays away from dairy, legumes, grains etc. A mixture of Intermittent Fasting, Paleo principles, and chocolate fuel her each day. She does drink Shakeology, which isn’t Paleo, but it works for her. She chooses organic, non-GMO, sustainably raised meats and high-quality sources. Remember these methods work best for her, they may not work for everybody. Her goal is true health and to be the ‘best Danielle’ internally and it shows within her outer shell. Advice for an unhealthy person…23:00 - If you do not make you a priority, you will never be able to get anywhere on your fitness journey. Until you do that, you will continue to struggle. Don’t put yourself on the back burner! Make a generational impact by being good examples to your children and young people around you. Contact… - www.iamfitandfunky.com - @fitandfunky

Dr. Andrew Miles specializes in Chinese medicine with post graduate experience in British Columbia and advanced diagnostics and integrated medicine at the Chengdu University of TCM in China. He treats chronic pain and promotes the importance of gut health. He has been presented awards from Chinese and Taiwanese governments for his contributions to Chinese medicine. Background…2:15 - Dr. Miles’ step-dad was Chinese which is when he was introduced to the Chinese culture. At the time, he was learning martial arts and along with martial arts comes injury. That was also when he became interested in Chinese medicine. He ended up going to school for Chinese medicine in British Columbia and then continued his studies in China. He learned what it meant to be effective through tons of traveling, exposure, and mentors. Because of them, he was encouraged to close his dream clinic in order to follow them. Dr. Miles views this as a perspective shift that was bound to happen. There is no way he could have accomplished what he has now without that critical decision. Studying in China…6:25 - There is actually an entire separate class of doctors that work with professionals. Some doctors recommend cutting back the numbers of hours worked; that’s not realistic in all cases. There are some people that spend a lot of time on a plane or traveling and that could be the time they budget for sleep. For example, if you travel to have a dinner meeting with a government official and he/she serves you a very nice bottle of wine, you’re on their time; will you decline? Probably not. Those business men or women may not have the luxury to be picky about their food or choose the meals that are served. Discoveries…9:15 - Right now, Dr. Miles is working on a project that is directly helping CEOs. When operating under long-term stress, the brain is overloaded and constantly inflamed. Overtime, the connections in the brain begin to break down. If you aren’t eating ideal foods, then your gut starts to become irritated as well. Dr. Miles is working to relieve this problem. His goal is to provide relief to the people who are on-the-go and busy all the time. He is treating the whole person, not just one aspect of their issues. Biggest hurdles…12:40 - The main access to distributors has been the most difficult task to overcome. Dr. Miles is bringing Chinese medicine over to the West, but is having a hard time finding schools here that teach the proper aspects of Chinese medicine. How to manage stress…15:45 - Protect your gut flora. In China, he saw many people spend the night drinking, but the next morning they would spend half of the day drinking fermented teas such as Oolong or pu-er tea. Both of these are good for gut health. The tea helps with digestion and pulls any nutrients from whatever they would eat. You can also find an herbalist to help find the key combination to what will help calm your stress levels. What do you see most often?…20:20 - Sleep breakdown. As soon as we get burnt out, we lose the ability to restore ourselves. Stress, concentration, and memory start to take a hit. This is followed by a low-grade depression, which only adds pressure and neural decay. Dr. Miles may recommend breath work or acupuncture; it depends on the person and the time they have to get their health back. Advice for the busy, stressed out person…24:20 - Ask yourself, do you sigh or yawn more? Watch your breathing and see if your body is trying to exhale or inhale more. This will tell you what your body actually needs. If you are trying to sigh, it’s a problem of distribution; there is some sort of blockage. This is the time you can run or exercise it off. If you are yawning, it means you are drawing blood to the internal organs. That means you are trying to nourish and power up, and recharge. Contact… www.botanicalbiohacking.com
