In this episode of Wellness Revolutionaries, Blake interviews lobbyist, President of the National Association for Health and Fitness, and founder of Hart to Heart Fitness, Diane Hart. Together, they discuss her lifetime of monumental work in public policy and her involvement with the PHIT Act, legislation pending in Congress which will allow Americans to use pre-tax dollars for physical activity expenses.

Listen as Blake interviews meditation guru, author, and founder of Ziva Meditation, Emily Fletcher. Together, they dive deep into the physiological impacts of stress, the difference between mindfulness and meditation, and why effort—not thought—is the enemy of meditating. To Emily, meditation isn’t just another “hippy dippy thing,” but instead, the key to increased productivity, creativity, and compassion.
