1:44
Welcome to the show. Man.
1:45
It's a pleasure to have you. Thanks for having me brother.
1:48
It's an honor to be able to kick it with you.
1:51
And, you know, I received that with all humility with
1:54
everything going on right now. You know, the scare of getting
1:58
sick, people are really becoming health-conscious, right?
2:01
We're really starting to consider Wow's the medication on
2:05
being prescribed or the advice. I'm getting from a commercial
2:09
really right? For me.
2:11
And I think this is what's really awesome about what you
2:14
do, because you Taylor somebody's needs right, like,
2:17
like somebody comes to you and they have a hip issue, you work
2:21
with them. You create a workout plan and
2:24
nutrition and you coach, Them through, whatever, whatever
2:28
their situation. Maybe I know you've even trained
2:30
people to get ready to be released into the military.
2:33
So you got a broad spectrum of people that you deal with on an
2:37
everyday basis. Yes.
2:39
Oh, you know, I've been a personal trainer now for 13
2:44
years and, you know, starting out in the field, you know, I
2:48
had really no idea what I was getting into.
2:50
I just knew I was passionate about Fitness and so I didn't
2:54
know where that Journey would take.
2:56
Take me, I just knew I wanted to help people become fit and
3:00
healthy in their bodies. So, I have gotten a lot of
3:03
experience training. Like you said, people from
3:07
teenage years all the way up until people in their 70s and
3:10
even 80s. I think, is one of the oldest
3:12
clients I've had. And so I've seen a lot, you
3:16
know, I've experienced a lot and I've seen a lot of different
3:19
health conditions along my journey with training people.
3:24
I'm thankful for that because it's opened my eyes.
3:26
To be able to broaden my skill set as a health coach, and be
3:31
able to, you know, kind of connect some dots as to like,
3:35
how how do you approach this person with this condition?
3:39
Because, you know, I think we all are a little bit different
3:43
when it comes to genetic makeup and and DNA and certain things
3:47
like that. We all have certain coding and
3:50
and I was just talking with somebody the other day because
3:52
you know, she was like why I have high blood pressure and
3:56
this And I like, what should I do?
3:57
And she was kind of under the impression where it's kind of
4:03
like, you just, it's something you have to deal with and I run
4:06
into a lot of this with people and I have more of a mindset,
4:10
like, if someone, if a doctor gives me a report of some bad
4:16
health condition. I'm under the mindset, like,
4:19
you're not going to tell me that I'm going to have to deal with
4:22
that, or live with that forever. Like I will find a way to
4:25
overcome. This issue and reverse it
4:27
somehow some way. So that just kind of gives you
4:30
an idea of my mentality on how I approach people.
4:34
I'm always going to approach somebody, no matter what.
4:37
They tell me no matter what condition, however serious.
4:40
It's been whether you've had it for 20 plus years or you just
4:43
got diagnosed with something. I'm going to treat you the exact
4:46
same and tell you. We're going to work through this
4:50
together and I believe with all my heart that this is something
4:53
that you'll overcome. Because it just doesn't sit.
4:56
Well when you know, you're told something and it's like well you
5:00
just got to deal with it. Well, what if I don't want to
5:02
deal with it, you know, I mean what if I want to experience
5:05
life and explore and do all these things and now you're
5:08
saying I can't do it. So I try to instill faith into
5:12
people from the gate and really believe in them, even if they
5:17
don't believe in themselves. And so, you know, throughout
5:22
that whole journey to the point where I am now, You know, I knew
5:27
I was only like scratching the surface with people's health and
5:30
well-being and I was running into some roadblocks because as
5:34
a trainer you can only give like generic guidelines as far as
5:38
nutrition and other things like that.
5:40
So I felt like I didn't really have control of people's diets
5:45
and I started seeing that this was the very area that people
5:49
were stumbling the most and rightfully.
5:51
So, I mean it, you know, we love to eat every Social Gathering
5:57
every event seems to be based around food or eating.
6:02
You know, it should be the, it's a very social thing.
6:05
And I think it's great. I've noticed that my people were
6:08
really struggling with their diets and, and just whenever
6:12
life would hit or stressful situations would come, you know,
6:16
we run to our comfort Foods, right?
6:18
You grab the tub of Ben and Jerry's or, you know, the bag of
6:23
potato chips and whatever else. Stu try to suppress and push
6:28
down those emotions because you're stressed.
6:32
I wanted to come in and be able to help people overcome those
6:38
stressful situations that kind of gets you in trouble.
6:41
And then, you know, whenever you go to the ice cream, or the
6:46
chips or whatever other Comfort Foods, it always leaves you
6:49
feeling worse off after you eat that?
6:52
Yeah. This is true.
6:53
Like, like, it's a temporary We fix like it'll suppress it for a
6:57
little bit. But then you feel kind of gross.
6:59
You feel like you just put on five more pounds and now you're
7:03
spiralling down even more and then you grab more bad food to
7:06
try to suppress that feeling and it's kind of like any other
7:10
addiction, right? Like alcohol drugs, you know,
7:13
whatever else you want to insert in there.
7:15
It's no different. I would say.
7:18
Food is probably the number one addiction compared to all the
7:23
others now that's debatable and That's totally my opinion.
7:26
But seeing the power it has over people is really staggering.
7:32
Typically, you're not looked at as a glutton unless you're
7:34
morbidly obese. Like anybody can point out any
7:37
other sin at any time and you know, we all deal with something
7:41
but sometimes there's things that people deal with that are
7:44
much more evident than other people and food.
7:48
Yeah, it can fly under the radar.
7:49
You know, I know I struggled with my weight personally when
7:53
we first met about six years ago.
7:55
Go, I consider myself to be in really good shape at the time.
7:58
You do an amateur bodybuilding but just not really knowing the
8:01
guidelines of the premises of nutrition, you know, how to
8:04
detox and how to really take care of my body.
8:08
And so I know how food can kind of fly under.
8:11
The radar is like one of these really strong addictive things
8:13
in our lives. That typically we only want to
8:16
nip it in the butt. When a doctor is giving us a
8:18
report like you said, in the beginning, that I'm going to
8:20
have to live the rest of my life with this this hardship and
8:24
deprivation. Because of, you know, some
8:26
sickness that I've acquired from a bad habit, you are certified
8:29
to be able to give people advice on what nutrients are good for
8:36
certain situations or age. Groups are just ailments in
8:39
general and I think this is super important because here in
8:43
America where a microwave Society, we want everything
8:46
really quick refuel, you know, we don't want to read the
8:49
ingredients. We just want to roll up hand,
8:51
somebody ten bucks, and get those Chick-fil-A nuggets in our
8:55
laughs as soon as possible and go to town.
8:57
Tell us a little bit about what you got going on on the
9:00
nutrition and the things, you know, the number one thing that
9:03
I would say, I specialize in helping people with is is
9:07
detoxing like you were saying, you know, we are living in a
9:11
world now, it's not the most Ideal World As far as the amount
9:16
of pollutants that were exposed to on a daily basis, whether it
9:20
be environmental pollutants with heavy metals or Ides things that
9:26
are sprayed into the air that were breathing in or, you know,
9:31
our food supply, which is laced with glyphosate and other
9:35
artificial sweeteners and dies and this and that, I mean, you
9:40
can go on and on, you know, it's it becomes very challenging for
9:45
somebody who is grocery shopping and like what do I even look
9:49
for? Because you have all these
9:51
marketing ploys on these products now.
9:54
And A lot of them actually claiming things to be healthy
9:59
and I get people coming to me all the time like, you know
10:03
showing me labels of their supplements and certain foods
10:07
that they got that they're like excited about and then I'm like
10:10
reading through it and I try not to be like a Debbie Downer with
10:14
it, but I'm like looking at it. I'm like, man.
10:17
This is just all marketing and it's just it's a tactic that's
10:20
used to kind of deceive you into thinking that it's healthy, but
10:23
it's really not. And so, you know, one really
10:27
good tip, you know, when you are grocery shopping is kind of
10:30
staying on the perimeter of the grocery stores.
10:33
Some many people may have heard that already, but that is
10:37
something that is kind of universal that I think will
10:40
really help people when you're at the grocery store.
10:44
He's you kind of stay more on the perimeter and avoid the
10:46
aisles as best as you can. A lot of the bad foods, the
10:50
packaged Foods, the, you know, snack type of foods are going to
10:53
be more in the aisles. So the more you can avoid that,
10:56
the better but yeah, really just getting back to the detoxing.
11:01
It's essential nowadays and it might not have been that way
11:05
decades ago. But times have changed our world
11:08
has changed the environment. We live in is much different and
11:12
not the most ideal as far as being healthy is concerned,
11:17
detoxing our bodies on a periodic basis.
11:20
Now, with that being said, I do not advocate for quickfix weight
11:26
loss schemes and this and that I do, however, advocate for
11:31
periodic fasting or cleansing. This is something that has been
11:35
practiced in pretty much. Every religion, all throughout
11:39
history. We have documentation of people
11:43
fasting whether it be for physical transformation, or
11:46
healing, or mental, emotional, spiritual Revelation.
11:51
They call me, Nick holistic, right?
11:53
Kind of like my my Instagram tag and kind of my little nickname
11:57
because I believe in the holistic approach.
11:59
I believe in the alternative way as far as treating a lot of
12:04
chronic illnesses and diseases. I believe that there is a time
12:08
and a place for medicine and for you know, going to the hospital
12:13
and this and that when its emergency situations, but when
12:16
it comes to Chronic things, I don't believe that taking
12:21
certain medications in this and That will benefit you in the
12:24
long run. I think they are temporary
12:26
solutions. And I think there is, you know,
12:30
food is medicine, right? That that is my belief.
12:33
Wholeheartedly think Epocrates, said that way back, let thy
12:37
food, be thy medicine, and Medicine be thy food, something
12:41
along those lines. Yeah, so we do know, from
12:46
research, and from history that what we're putting into.
12:49
Our bodies, has a direct effect on our health and well-being.
12:53
And I think that's just something that is very simple.
12:56
But yet very overlooked whenever we do get sick.
13:00
We're kind of running to the the cabinet, the medicine cabinet
13:03
and hitting up the Tylenol and ibuprofen and Benadryl and nose
13:09
sprays and this and that. And I I get it.
13:12
It's something that we've kind of I think just grown up with
13:15
believing in and it wasn't until I took a different path and took
13:21
a different belief. And to think, King like, well,
13:24
if our bodies are uniquely created right, and I believe in
13:29
God, wholeheartedly, I believe that he designed these bodies
13:33
that we temporarily dwell in as phenomenal machines.
13:38
I believe wholeheartedly that we have the ability in our own
13:42
bodies to be able to heal ourselves through certain
13:45
diseases. And illnesses.
13:48
There may be specific scenarios where you may need a lot more
13:52
assistance. To be able to heal or recover
13:55
from something. But we see this with the animal
13:57
kingdom, you know, if an animal is injured or sick, you really
14:01
don't see them eating, you know, they may go buy a water spring
14:07
of water or something. Get some water to drink, but
14:10
it's interesting because when you, when you encounter that
14:13
watch, what an animal will do if they're sick or not, you know,
14:17
or injured, they typically will not eat.
14:19
And that's the Instinct of Bodies can actually heal
14:24
themselves if we stop pushing food down.
14:28
So, that's really interesting. You bring that up.
14:30
I mean, it feels like the general consensus is, we're
14:32
taught like you said, run to the medicine cabinet.
14:35
When you get sick or I call your doctor nowadays.
14:38
We do voice doctor or FaceTime with our doctors because people
14:42
are even scared to go to the doctors and I look at all of
14:46
this and just I don't really know too much.
14:48
Okay. I only know what I know and I'm
14:51
under the impression that when here, You're sick, right?
14:54
You're supposed to eat chicken broth.
14:56
All right, get plenty of rest, you know, some people say take a
14:59
hot shower hot bath or you know, use Vic's and rub Vicks VapoRub
15:05
on your back and the knowledge of hey, you shouldn't or should
15:09
be eating this during during a sickness know.
15:13
A lot of people are afraid, you know, to just follow blindly
15:17
with the doctors are saying or what's happening on the news
15:19
with the mandated jab on the horizon, which I don't think.
15:23
Legally do that, but people are becoming more conscious of their
15:26
health. So what would be your advice for
15:29
somebody who feels flu symptoms flu-like symptoms coming on?
15:34
Is there, you know, like advice that you would give in the sense
15:36
like hey stop eating at that point?
15:39
Or would you just lower the amount of calories that you're
15:43
taking in and increase the water, you know, that, that's
15:46
why I decided to get into the juicing World a lot.
15:50
And why I've been very much. An advocate for it because, you
15:54
know, the water fasting was Superior like way back talking
16:00
like decades ago, but now we have other groups of needs that
16:05
need to be met. We still have to work.
16:07
We still have to function, people still want to work out
16:10
and this and that so, you know to take a vacation from life and
16:15
everything else is next to impossible.
16:18
So in order to address that group and needs while still
16:21
benefiting from The cleanse were fasting experience to be able to
16:26
heal yourself. That's where the juicing comes
16:29
in, because you're not, you're technically still not really
16:32
activating your digestive system because it's just liquids.
16:37
What exactly does that mean for the listeners?
16:39
I mean, are we talking about, like, pure organic juice?
16:42
That's been pressed from the physical fruit in your hand, or
16:44
you talking about buying, you know, Welch's grape.
16:47
I mean, give us a little bit more insight into what the
16:50
juicing would look like. If somebody wanted to take that
16:53
on. You know, having fresh whole
16:55
fruits and vegetables that you are juicing whether it be by
16:59
hand or through a, you know, juicing machine versus buying
17:05
something in the store. Now, there are some store-bought
17:07
ones that are organic and probably some good quality, but
17:12
the problem with the store-bought ones is that most
17:15
of them are pasteurized meaning, there was you no heat involved
17:19
because they have to maintain the shelf life and If you're
17:23
doing fresh cold-pressed juices that are organic and and all
17:27
that, you know, they only have a certain shelf life.
17:30
Pretty much within like a 326 kind of day window before they
17:37
start going bad. So yeah, that would be more what
17:41
I'm talking about. I think it is superior to
17:44
anything that is bought in store because you're going to retain a
17:48
lot of the nutrients versus the he pasteurized juice has.
17:53
Which are going to lose a lot of the nutrition from them.
17:56
I know the last time we got together for the chosen, 300
18:01
Outreach here in one of the local cities.
18:03
You brought me a glass mason jar of a homemade juicy made and it
18:07
was phenomenal. I think it was last winter.
18:10
You also I got like 12 or 14 different jars from you, you
18:14
know, I purchased like, one of your three-day cleanses you call
18:18
it, which I would agree with the word Superior.
18:21
This is something that flies under the radar.
18:23
We really don't know how to attack back against, you know,
18:26
the sicknesses that have always been on the horizon and yet
18:30
increasing and and the bad diet is definitely showing throughout
18:34
these last couple generations with the turn of ingredients
18:38
used as pesticides with, they're spraying in the air with a
18:40
putting on the food. Yeah, because you're getting
18:43
such a high concentration of the vitamins and minerals that are
18:47
from the fruits and vegetables. So, you know, if you take one 32
18:52
ounce Juice of say, carrots, apples and beets, for instance.
18:58
The amount of produce that is in that 32 ounce juice.
19:01
You could not eat in a day. You might not even be able to
19:04
eat that amount in two days or three days.
19:06
I mean, it's like that much walking into one juice.
19:10
So it's so concentrated that you're basically what I'm saying
19:14
is and I'll touch on this a little bit as well that when it
19:19
comes to supplementation, you know, and things like that for
19:23
Overcoming whether it be coronavirus or any other
19:26
sickness or illness. The problem that most people
19:30
aren't aware of is the dosages are so low.
19:34
And so whatever you're buying like over the counter in the
19:39
store, and I'm not saying it's Universal, like all of them are
19:42
bad. I'm just saying that majority of
19:45
the supplements and things, you're buying over-the-counter
19:49
are too low of a dose. Especially with where our health
19:55
is at, as a whole, nowadays, like back in the day when just,
19:59
you know, Society was just healthier, overall.
20:03
It may have been okay, but like, in order to get the same
20:06
nutrition back then as you can today, you would almost need to
20:11
eat say like four or five apples to get the same amount of
20:16
nutrition as it was decades ago. The soil quality that is that we
20:21
have today is nowhere near. Aware, it was decades ago and
20:26
that's due to a lot of the pesticides and a lot of the
20:30
farming, you know, industrial farming practices that are now
20:33
going on today, you know, which is just it's not the most ideal
20:37
for retaining the nutrients. And, and the plants are not able
20:42
to draw up the nutrients from the soil, because the soil is
20:46
not, it's not rich in all of the beneficial bacteria and other
20:50
things that are that basically would Could keep a satiated for
20:54
a longer. Like, you know, nowadays, you
20:57
almost find yourself eating more, or having to eat more
21:02
because that one thing is not filling you up.
21:06
And the reason it's not filling you up as you cuz it's depleted
21:09
of nutrients. Now, how many times do you think
21:13
that the people may be feeling hungry or famished?
21:16
Right? They may be feeling the onset of
21:18
like, wow. I need to get something to eat.
21:20
Do you think a lot of times we confuse that with actually?
21:24
Absolutely. Yeah, that's a great point and
21:28
typically the hunger pains that you feel.
21:30
It's, it's in the belly, right? It that's, that's where you're
21:34
feeling the hunger pains and it's, it can be very intense.
21:37
The reason you're feeling that, that's not necessarily hunger.
21:42
Like you said, I believe that more times than not.
21:45
It is that you are dehydrated, because if you go and hit up the
21:48
water right away, those intense feelings start to subside a
21:52
little It. But aside from that.
21:55
It's mainly because our bodies are accustomed to eating at the
22:00
same times every day, right? Because we're creatures of
22:02
habit. We love our routines.
22:04
We love doing the same thing at the same time and that's just
22:07
kind of how it is. So basically there's this gut
22:11
brain connection, and anyone who's listening to this, if you
22:14
want to do a Google research, you know, if you want to take
22:18
away anything from this, do a little research on the gut brain
22:21
connection. Cuz it's really fascinating, and
22:25
more and more studies are being done.
22:26
Now on just how strong the connection is from the mind to
22:31
the gut, and how they're always communicating.
22:34
And, you know, basically what I'm getting at is, if our gut is
22:38
not, well, we're not going to be well over all, and that's going
22:42
to affect our brain. Yeah.
22:44
I just, I just remember reading this 90% of our serotonin
22:48
production, which is the happy hormone, right?
22:51
So hormone makes us feel good. Good. 90% of that lies within
22:56
the gut. So if your gut is compromised or
23:00
immune system is compromised, which is in your gut.
23:04
What do you think that's going to do to your brain into your
23:06
mood? It's going to make it very
23:09
difficult to be in a good mood to be happy or to stay happy.
23:15
Now you may have good days and I think we all will.
23:18
But if it's that compromised and your serotonin production is now
23:22
plummeting because your guts not well, this is where the whole
23:26
List approach starts coming into the Forefront.
23:29
Wow, there's a lot of moving Parts here and one thing affects
23:32
another and then that affects another.
23:34
And now, you can start looking at somebody and you can start
23:39
seeing what is the root cause of this, and more times than that.
23:45
It's the digestive health for people.
23:47
It's the immune system is compromised.
23:49
Which leaves us vulnerable for sicknesses and disease to
23:53
happen. No, wait, wait, you're My mind's
23:57
blown right now. I mean, you mean to tell me that
23:59
our gut health cannot determine our serotonin levels.
24:04
So like instead of needing an antidepressant.
24:06
It could be based in diet alone. 100% Oh, wow, 100%.
24:12
Yeah, the ground shaking over here.
24:14
Oh my and see, this is why it's so important to talk with
24:19
people. Especially the people that have
24:21
the passion, the certification and the desire, right?
24:24
The drive to deliver this information.
24:26
Nation and help see the transformation of people's
24:29
lives. I mean, I've heard so many
24:32
commercials. I've seen so many so much
24:33
propaganda. So many gimmicks, entity,
24:35
whatever you want to call a billboard sales, associates,
24:38
always trying to sell a weight loss pill, you know,
24:40
guaranteeing energy spikes guaranteeing serotonin boost,
24:44
all these different things. I mean, I've even heard other
24:46
podcasters have paid commercials on the show that with some type
24:52
of new genius. Joy mood enhancer supplement.
24:56
I really I think you're getting at the information that we as a
24:59
people crave because it's like a lost, its lost information and
25:04
you're a hundred percent, right? When you were bringing up the
25:05
fact that we didn't need detox Generations ago because our
25:09
environment wasn't polluted as it is today.
25:12
We didn't have nuclear power plants.
25:14
We didn't have chemicals being sprayed in the air.
25:16
We didn't have pesticides. We didn't have all these crazy,
25:19
mutated, viruses, and drugs, that people are taken for the
25:25
for the plethora of different health.
25:26
Reasons you're right, you know, we are really polluted at the
25:31
end of the day and the detox is more important now than ever.
25:34
And I don't think you're insinuating a GNC detox kid.
25:38
I think we're really talking about getting Whole Foods
25:42
juicing and, and intermittent fasting, we're leaving the
25:46
production of food from our body for a period of time.
25:48
So that were able to self heal. I was looking at, I'm not a big
25:53
numbers guy, but I was looking at the stats and we get a lot of
25:55
downloads. From from Pennsylvania in
25:57
general, and I would really like to see, you know, some people
26:01
get connected with you through this process.
26:04
You know, I'd really like to use the platform for whoever would
26:07
listen and get this far through the episode and say, yeah, you
26:10
know what, I'm really actually interested in changing something
26:15
today, and it's just one step at a time.
26:17
It's not by the flip of a finger that your life is going to be
26:20
changing. Your house.
26:21
Going to get better, but making an effort, I think is key.
26:25
You've helped me personally. Only through a lot.
26:27
Okay, when we first met many years ago at this point, I was
26:31
working out. You were magazine cover shape
26:34
and I was doing this bulk process, you know, I was like a
26:37
52 inch chest in a 36-inch waist.
26:40
I was doing powerlifting and bulking up and cutting down and
26:45
just doing my little routine there.
26:46
And I was really good with movement being in my early
26:49
twenties at the time. And I was really strong, you
26:52
know, I had weighed like 230 pounds.
26:54
I could bench about 400 pounds. For a good solid rap, I'm gonna
26:58
throw these weights around but how important is movement and
27:00
exercise. Let's touch on these topics
27:03
right now you cover healthy movement.
27:05
Obviously, we already discussed nutrition what that can look
27:08
like the Avenues that runs to in accordance with our overall
27:11
health, but let's talk now about physical movement.
27:14
How important is it? That our bodies are a well-oiled
27:17
machine. What do you recommend for?
27:19
Somebody just starting out? Yeah.
27:20
So typically, you know, I will evaluate where somebody is at.
27:26
Because I get people coming to me from all different
27:30
backgrounds, and fitness levels. Some are coming, literally right
27:35
off the couch others, you know, they've been in the the fitness
27:39
arena for some time and they just need a little boost or
27:43
training for a Spartan Race. So, you know, I really just try
27:47
to feel out and evaluate with some testing and whatnot, just
27:51
to see where everyone's at. And then, you know, just
27:55
basically set up. Tailored plan and goals, that
27:59
can, you know, kind of walk them down the path of becoming a
28:03
better version of themselves. I think that's ideally what most
28:07
people want, you know, aside from training for a specific
28:10
thing. I think the majority of the
28:13
requests that I get. It's, you know, why do want to
28:16
lose weight, but I just want to feel good.
28:18
I want to just feel better, just overall health and wellness.
28:22
And, you know, I would say, Aside from getting a trainer or
28:28
professional to walk, you down that path.
28:30
The very thing that you can start doing immediately is just
28:33
walking. I think that is the simplest way
28:38
to move your body to exercise and something that you could
28:43
really do every single day without it, really impacting you
28:47
in a negative way, unless you have really bad joints.
28:51
And, you know, then I can see maybe an alternative approach to
28:54
that, but But just keeping it very simple.
28:58
If you really have no experience whatsoever.
29:01
Go for a walk every day, you know, Stars slow do one, one lap
29:05
around the block, you know, start there and then just build
29:09
just little by little, it's more about consistency.
29:13
I preached that more with my clients more about that than,
29:16
probably anything else because it's kind of that old adage.
29:21
If you don't use it, you lose it.
29:22
Type thing. It's very, very real.
29:26
When it comes to health and wellness, if you're not moving
29:30
your body every day, if you're very sedentary, that's going to
29:34
number one affect your mood because we know the correlation
29:38
to brain health and moving your body, getting a sweat going, you
29:43
know, every day doesn't have to be anything crazy, you know, but
29:46
just getting outside, you know, going for a walk going for a
29:49
hike going for a run or bike ride, whatever it is, but it's
29:53
more about doing it. Everyday it again.
29:57
Keep it simple, you know, you don't have to reinvent the wheel
30:00
with it. There's plenty of activities,
30:01
you can do. It's amazing to just see like
30:04
because like for me like when I'm thinking about how I need to
30:07
get healthier, it can be a little frantic for me in my
30:10
thought process that where I'm trying to get information from
30:13
but hearing it from you and just knowing your desire to help
30:16
people in authority and with character and with compassion
30:19
can just deliver information confidently to people and I'm
30:24
just really happy. This episode is going to reach
30:27
the right listeners, that they're going to be able to get
30:29
some advice and and be encouraged.
30:32
You know, that they're not alone in the process of being sick or
30:35
being out of shape that it's only a temporary part of life.
30:39
And that change is very possible and we don't have to feel stuck
30:43
and whatever situation we think we're in.
30:46
Yeah, there's absolutely Solutions and just touching on
30:48
what you said earlier about like just our society being able to
30:52
more of like a microwave type of society, you know, it can be a
30:55
Challenge. It can be a challenge, you know,
30:58
bringing awareness to health and wellness and giving people
31:02
Solutions as to what they can do today, you know, not down the
31:06
road, but what you can do right now and it's hard because, you
31:10
know, change is never easy. And, you know, there has to be
31:14
resistance, there has to be work.
31:16
Put into it in order for you to see the results that you're
31:19
looking for. I've always been an advocate for
31:22
being a hard worker earning, you know, the Bolts and everything
31:26
like that. Nowadays, we a lot of times like
31:30
just just one things handed to us and I was just talking with,
31:35
I don't know if Mike will be listen is but I was talking with
31:38
Mike at church and you know, he was saying, you know, yeah been
31:43
kind of eating bad, a little bit bad lately and this and that and
31:46
I was just like, just kind of hit him with it.
31:48
Like hey, man, if you value yourself, you will make time to
31:53
prepare food, do meal prepping. Or juicing for the week or like,
31:57
people don't realize. Like they may look at me and
32:00
think I'm some radical dude. That's just like, you know,
32:03
crazy fit and this and that. But like, they don't understand
32:06
the behind-the-scenes, like, what I'm doing.
32:09
And what I'm building, how I value my body, that I dwell in,
32:13
I'll be the first one to tell you, I am far from perfect when
32:17
it comes to health and fitness. I'm very much on the path to
32:20
becoming better every day, but I, I made it a priority.
32:25
Any number one priority to take care of myself my health and
32:30
well-being because if I don't have that, what good am I?
32:33
What good am I to anybody else? My family, my friends, my
32:36
co-workers, what good am I if my health is plummeting and
32:40
deteriorating because of what I'm putting into my body.
32:43
I am becoming more of a liability to society than an
32:46
asset. At that point.
32:47
That's just my opinion. That's just my belief on it.
32:50
I value myself and because I value myself, I will do whatever
32:55
necessary. Caesarea whatever time, I need
32:57
to spend. Even if I'm dead tired, even if
32:59
I just put in 12 hours of work, and I'm dead tired.
33:03
I will still make time to prepare a healthy meal, or grab
33:10
some, some fresh cold pressed juice or this that or go for a
33:14
trail run if it's like getting late and I haven't worked out
33:17
yet today. Those are sacrifices that need
33:21
to be made if you want to better yourself if you want to see the
33:24
results there. Has to be a price to be paid.
33:27
There has to be sacrificed. It's funny because we've rushed
33:30
through life. I remember when I was 16 being
33:32
like, man. I can't wait to be 25 and get
33:34
set up right move just like rush through life and try to get to
33:38
be successful, and get that money in a lot of the times.
33:41
We see, people get to that like 50 to 60 year old marker and
33:46
they Plateau with their health and start getting really sick
33:49
and, and all that money and all that.
33:52
There's dreams. They were chasing.
33:53
You know, they all just fade away because This is like the
33:55
last 25 years. You've been chasing the almighty
33:59
dollar and now you're spending every dollar.
34:01
You got to try to reserve a little bit more time to enjoy
34:05
life. So we definitely have it
34:06
backwards as a society. How we view things.
34:10
This is a helpful episode for me, even though we talk very
34:13
often and and I know what you do.
34:15
And I know, I even get glimmers of the behind-the-scenes effort
34:19
that you put into this lifestyle that you live and dedication of
34:24
helping other people. And I just think it really
34:26
should be. We're getting together.
34:28
We're talking about our health what we're consuming, you know,
34:32
giving each other advice and you know, big believer in promoting
34:35
local business, local Mom, Pop. You name it Mom, Pop Church,
34:39
Mom? Pop Delhi, Mom Pop Jim's, right?
34:42
So I think that that's a really awesome thing to be able to do
34:45
is just use whatever platform God gives us to lift each other
34:48
up, Nick launches off where people can find you.
34:52
Yeah, so so I'm co-owner of United.
34:55
Finish with my brother Justin. We're on Instagram.

35:31
And yeah, I'm just, I'm really passionate about health and
35:34
wellness and just really want to see positive change in the world
35:39
for a health movement. Especially, knowing that we have
35:42
a lot of things coming against us.
35:44
Don't let anybody force you into anything.
35:47
Do the research, make the decision for yourself.
35:49
But know that there are solutions to prevent sickness if
35:53
you are afraid. Or you know intimidated by
35:58
getting a certain viruses are so that you can build your immune
36:01
system. Strong immunity will be able to
36:04
fight off a lot of those sicknesses.
36:06
In my opinion. You guys heard it right from the
36:09
man himself. I hope you enjoyed this one
36:12
coming to you from Southeastern, Pennsylvania.
36:14
God Bless America. I'm good night.

36:53
Treat it like a punching bag. How much a bond it?
36:55
Yeah, serve the king. No, I'm a brag on it.
36:58
A lot of people rapping these days, but they lost.
37:01
I ain't choose music. Music shows me a course on
37:04
family back bit, but I'm cool. Now, forgiveness is everything.
37:08
That's what I learned now, headed to the top and I'm
37:11
staying true to him. I try to live my life every day
37:14
without sin. A lot of snakes in the yard, but
37:16
I cut him off. Try to be nice to them, but they
37:19
think I'm soft, never happened. But I know where I came from.
37:23
I can't go backwards only through it head.
37:26
That's why I trust in the process.
37:27
So, be here. It's not where you're at is, who
37:30
you notice what? I've learned.
37:31
I know, I used to get high used to blow.
37:33
Sure. Now, I'm sober and I'm stronger
37:35
than I ever been. If it ain't about business.
37:38
It's irrelevant. I took the king first and you

38:15
rude. I just gotta be honest.
38:17
