EP 117 - Unbreakable Strength: How muscle saves this trainer’s life
2023/12/22
I'm so excited for you to hear this episode because it's exactly the kind of story we all love - one where someone meets a life-threatening challenge and comes out better on the other side.  But there's much more to  Jared Maynard story and it has to do with the importance of being in the right shape to fight for your life. Jared is a Physical Therapist, business owner, powerlifter, strength coach, husband and father of 3 girls who found out how strength training saves lives this year. After spending years in the gym training his mind and body, tragedy struck. He was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called HLH that almost killed him. It took 5 weeks on life support and many months of rehabilitation for him to learn how to walk, talk and breathe on his own again. While on life support, he was so weak that he couldn't receive nutrition for weeks. The muscle he spent years building in the gym became the fuel that sustained him to better days. Now, as Jared continues through recovery, his mission is stronger than ever: To help as many people as possible become so strong that they barely recognize themselves. To help them feel empowered to take on whatever life throws at them. To help them keep showing up for their spouses, kids friends and clients. Jared works full time in his online strength coaching business, Unbreakable Strength, to do exactly that. When he's not working, you can find him reading superhero books with his daughters, sipping on delicious coffee and enjoying life in the Canadian countryside. Pull up a seat at the chef's table and let's dig in. Now, dig into these great offers that help you live your best fitlife: Hexclad Cookware.  Having the right tools makes all the difference in your pursuit of health and your cookware is one of the most important choices you'll make.

EP 115 - Armor Up Your Immune System with Food
2023/11/07
We’ve heard it, and it’s engrained in us.  Food is medicine.  But really, let’s dive deep down into this idea. How did they deal with disease thousands of years ago, before conventional medicine and antibiotics?  The answer was in nature. Ancient civilizations became masters of using plants and herbs as their remedies. And the pharmaceuticals we have now are often derived from those medicinal plants – like garlic, onions, turmeric, thyme, black seed and so many more.  The use of spices and herbs with antimicrobial activity was necessary to ward off the threat of food-borne pathogens and life-threatening illnesses. While there’s no silver bullet, we can take big strides in protecting our incredible bodies from succumbing to sickness with my top 8 immunity boosting foods that help every system in your body - and delicious to boot. **Get 40% off and additional 15% off (55% off!) subscriptions at www.Goli.com with my code EATCLEANER and get my favorite Goli Gummies including, ACV, Beets, Ashwaganda, Pre and Post Probiotics, Sleep and Women's Complete Multi.

EP 114 - Forever Chemicals: How to avoid becoming the walking dead
2023/09/20
Could we be moving towards a real life species of the walking dead where chemicals are creating a new, toxic-laden humankind? They are born out of technology. They are here, and they are everywhere.  The problems with forever chemicals have been known for quite some time, and their  impact on people and the environment is still being researched and not completely understood.  However, more evidence is coming to light on their impact on people as evidenced by the lawsuits that have been reported in the media concerning the military bases being affected and health issues that these chemicals are having on our veterans being exposed to them. Today on Recipes For Your Best Life, I'm interviewing Clayton Thomas, co-founder of ROOT Wellness, which addresses the root cause of today’s health and wellness issues by helping us live healthier using biochemistry in our everyday lives. Clayton is cautioning us about just how prevalent and dangerous “forever chemicals” are & providing some solutions. It's an episode that you need to hear - for your health, and your family's.

EP 111 - Reduce, Reuse and Upcycle - Preventing Waste and Driving Innovation with the Upcycled Food Association
2023/06/16
Have you ever wondered what happens to food that gets manufactured and grown, but not used?  Well here’s a scenario.  Cashews are commonly eaten - But did you know the cashew meat from inside the cashew fruit, which is normally thrown out, is a single ingredient, organic product that tastes amazingly like meat, with the same consistency. The truth are a LOT of predicted that get wasted in the food manufacturing process and all of this wasted food presents an opportunity to create exciting new items and categories.   June 24 is National Upcycling Day, and in this episode, I spoke with Angie Crone, the CEO of the Upcycled Food Association, to learn more about what up cycling is, the non-profit’s mission and the crucial role it plays in preventing food from being wasted.  We also dive into why The Upcycled Certified® label is the most important third-party certification that supports up cycling integrity and environmentally-conscious stewards and why you should look for it in over 1,400 grocery stores across the country.  You can take the Upcycyling pledge to reduce waste in your own home and business on our website at eatcleaner.com and chefmareya.com.  Let’s dig in!

EP 109 - Reversing childhood obesity: Lifestyle habits make the difference with Dr. Sheila Carroll
2023/05/05
It’s a sensitive subject. And it’s one I was a little hesitant to talk about but I think it’s really important and sometimes we just need to rip the band-aid off to let the wound heal. This episode, we’re diving into the subject of childhood obesity, and how as parents and working with doctors we can help coach kids in a more positive way. Today I am interviewing Dr. Sheila Carroll, a mom, pediatrician and an obesity medicine physician as well as the life and weight coach. She works with the parents of the kids who struggle with their extra weight so that parents can create a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, sleep, movement and emotional regulation skills, which ends up helping the whole family and improving the family’s wellbeing. This episode, we’re focusing on those lifestyle habits that can make a big difference! We live in a time right now where 1 out of 3 children are considered obese, and life expectancy of this generation will not exceed their parents’ generation, and that is the first time in history that this has happened. I know that together we can make a big difference – we just need to talk about it in a methodical, logical and mature way, without inflaming anyone and I hope you’ll find that this interview will do just that. Let’s dig in; and listen; and ACT. Because we need to make a difference!
