Dr. Maria Cristina, Sheehan Health and Wellness, is an expert on aging as we know it. At the age of 69 she stepped away from her academic career, where she served as a CEO for 20 years, and into the world of fitness. Today at the age of 77 she is a natural body fitness competitor winning multiple gold and silver medals in bikini, swimsuit and sports model categories in international competitions since 2017.

She became a health coach and fitness trainer and now coaches women over 55 both online and in person. She is a sought-after speaker for audiences that want to improve their health and turn back the clock.

She also enjoys providing keynote speeches on wellness and longevity and working with executives and their teams to foster healthy lifestyle habits to enhance their health and improve productivity.

She has been featured on the Aging and Awesome TV series and now hosts fitness retreats in Central America for women wanting to reclaim their bodies and energize their health.

Her programs feature how to transform your thinking about aging while mastering the movement right for you and the meal plan that is sustainable to achieve your ideal weight and highest level of energy.  She is the best example of her own philosophy which is we can get stronger with age.  She believes adults, especially women over 55, should not expect to be frail and dependent as the decades advance.

Her journey began at age 69 when she found herself agingtypically, slowing down gaining weight and feeling the decline she was experiencing was inevitable.  She was never an athlete in fact the last picked for any sports team as a child and barely passing the PE requirement in college.  In her 50s she tried everything from prepacked diet foods to exercise programs she could never sustain. Turning 69 she determined 70 was not going to go well.  She took the advice of her financial consultant and turned to a bodybuilding pro expecting to solve all her weight issues in the 36 sessions he required to start working with him.  She believed that she might gain hulk tyle muscles,which of course is ridiculous, and he told her so. Completing the 36 sessions taught her disciple and provided accountability and she saw that in that short amount of time she could gain strength. She needed the critical component to strength training which is nutrition and found the Health Coach Institute. She became a health coach and from there her journey continued to flourish. 

She created the closed FB Group for women Flourish with Age where she provides motivation and wellness tips, exercises and information about women living longer better.

She is currently offering a special subscription program until the end of the year.  It’s designed to give women that same accountability and knowledge she has acquired on her journey.

In February 2024 she will be offering the Elite Wellness Retreat in Panama   There are just six spots available for this luxury once in a lifetime wellness experience which will include the latest information of longevity at its best and exciting excursions.

In this episode Maria talks about health, mindset, meals, movement, and much more!

Anna is a Central Michigan University graduate where she studied exercise science. After her time at Central Michigan, Anna started her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Anna is at the point in her studies where it's a lot of clinical work while she gets ready to finish her program and become a licensed physical therapist. Anna has always had an interest and passion for health, so it makes sense that she is pursuing a career where she can have a positive impact on the health of others. In addition to her studying and work, Anna is an avid researcher and always looking for ways to better serve folks who may have various health struggles. Anna is a very bright and driven person and I have no doubt that she will continue to impact so many lives. It's really cool to be able to watch Anna follow her passions and do something that she truly loves.

In this episode Anna talks about exercise, research, what physical therapy is, and much more!

Cassie is a fellow Central Michigan University graduate, environmental scientist, sexual health educator, and advocate for all. After graduating from CMU, Cassie moved down to Tennessee to pursue her passion for studying and helping the environment. Cassie has always cared about our planet and gets to work on ways that we can make our planet more sustainable and healthy for everyone. Unfortunately, topics involving the environment are often politicized, but, at the end of the day the environment and the wellness of our planet does not need to be divisive. Additionally, Cassie is a sexual health educator. Cassie works to create a safe and inclusive space for people to learn about, explore, and understand their own sexual wellness. Through her work as a sexual health educator, Cassie also has her own business called From Cover to Covers. Cassie's business is a romance shop that is all about embracing your confidence, body positivity, & sexuality. From Cover to Covers offers books, various products, and a community for folks to explore and learn about sexual wellness. I really appreciated learning about what Cassie does as a sexual health educator. Historically, talking about sexual wellness could be viewed as "taboo," but it is important to have these kind of conversations. Sexual wellness is normal and important, so I'm glad that I could be a part of this conversation and to hear about all the work that Cassie is doing. It's really cool to see the positive impact that Cassie is having on both our planet and the lives of individuals.

Also, for the first time I butchered a guests name in the intro... My apologies to Cassie for that! As you all know, the show is completely unedited so enjoy my mistake lol.

In this episode Cassie talks about the environment, having a business, sexual wellness, and much more!

RJ is a singer and songwriter that brings a blend of country and rock n roll. RJ has always loved music and writing, but wasn't always sure of his own personal sound and style. Throughout years of practice and learning about himself, RJ finally feels as though he has found his sound. RJ is releasing his own original music while also occasionally posting covers of songs while he continues to work on his craft and get more experience performing live. RJ has always been a creative and he is really learning into his passion to figure out how he can create his own name within the music industry. It's been great watching RJ find his sound while staying authentic to who he is. I cannot wait to see (and hear) what is in store for the rest of his career.

In this episode RJ talks about being authentic, music, finding your sound, and much more!

Domenica is a singer and songwriter originally from Miami, Florida but now living in Nashville, Tennessee pursuing her passions. Domenica has always loved music and would sing on her own and at her church. As Domenica grew up and realized that music was really what she wanted to pursue, she decided to attend Belmont University where she ultimately graduated. While pursuing music, Domenica auditioned and found herself on various reality tv shows including American Idol, America's Got Talent, and The Voice. Most recently, Domenica was on Season 23 of The Voice. Music has always been a constant in Domenica's life, but, so has her faith and relationship with her brother Matteo. It was inspiring, empowering, and even emotional to hear about Domenica's journey in faith and about the special bond that she shares with her brother. Domenica recently released her first EP titled to: you, which includes five songs that tell a story of a relationship that didn't work out. Between Domenica's incredible ability to tell a story, her powerful voice, and unwavering faith, I know that this is just the start for her. I cannot wait to see all of the wonderful things that Domenica accomplishes within the music industry.

Making ZAP! Podcast history, we have our first returning guest! When Brian first came on the podcast, he was going by the name That Boy Brian. It's been over two years since Brian was on the podcast and a lot has happened. Brian has rebranded a bit and now just goes by his given name, Brian DeMuro. While Brian has changed his online identity, he is the same positive, sports loving person that I featured years ago. Brian is now a college student studying broadcasting and mass communications, New York and New Jersey sports dan, and YouTube Video editor. Brian just completed his freshman year of college and it was a challenging experience. Brian spend his first year of college having his fair shares of highs and lows, but recently has been working on his mindset and has found himself enjoying college and life to a high degree. Not maybe people talk about how difficult it can be transitioning into college, so it was really insightful to hear Brian open up about his own experiences. While it was a tough time in Brian's life, he leaned into his positive mindset and faith to help him push through and find enjoyment through his college experiences. While in college, Brian is focusing on how he can find a career that involves his extreme passion for sports. While Brian has had some personal life changes since he was last on the podcast, his love for sports has not wavered. We also had a great conversation about the NBA Playoffs. Now that the Denver Nuggets have won the NBA Championship over the Miami Heat, we can look back and see how our predictions went. It's always fun to look back and see how we did. I think we both did well, but I think I might have done a little better than Brian - give the episode a listen to find out. I've always respected and admired Brian's passion for life and positive attitude and it's awesome to see how much he's grown since the last episode. Brian is going to do some big things in this world, and I cannot wait to see.

In this episode Brian talks about transitioning into college, mindset, sports, and much more!

Eric is a former professional wrestler, bakery owner, gym owner, and is now currently a father, husband, and personal coach. While Eric's past careers and business ventures are no longer a part of his life, he has absolutely zero regret and credits all of his past experiences with what has made him the person that he is today. Eric is a coach with a very specific mission: he helps career driven dads develop their mind and bodies so that they can become the best version of themselves. Eric noticed that many men would "give up," or become complacent as they aged or after becoming fathers. Eric wanted to show these individuals that that is not the case and that it is possible and sustainable to become healthier and the best dads that they could possibly be. Eric has always been someone who wants to be able to give 100% to everything and his passion for coaching and positively impacting lives is evident. Eric is also extremely passionate about mental health and has had his own journey with it. Eric is an advocate for mental health and uses his platform to share his experiences and encourage others to invest in their own mental health. It's awesome to see how many lives Eric has changed and I have no doubt that he will continue to do so.
