An inspirational story that is sure to fire you up for the week! In this podcast Matt Paz outlines his journey from rock bottom to qualifying for the triathlon world championships in Kona Hawaii just a few years later. Some would say that he traded one addiction for another, but if you ask me, I'd call it destiny. Matt was born to suffer, inspire, and share his love for fitness with the world. He just had a different path than most. And at the end of the day, he will tell you that he wouldn't have it any other way. Matt currently owns and operates Garden Grove Fitness in Orange County, California. His gym, brand, and community continue to grow at rapid pace. Inspirational stories like this is exactly why I started this podcast! I hope you enjoy it, share it, and reach out to Matt on Instagram and let him know your thoughts.

You may recognize both voices on today's show, as M.D.V (Matt DellaValle) is a seasoned guest and co-host of the Business of Fitness Podcast. MDV is the Chief FitnessOfficer at NCFIT, managing all fitness, coaching, and programming operations worldwide for the company.

In this episode, Richard Diaz and I talk about one of the most controversial subjects in Crossfit. How do I increase work capacity while training less?? With so many different ideologies circling the sport under so many different coaches — it's really hard to land on one solid piece of information. Everyone has theories, however Rich has more data. We talk a lot about battling fatigue. We talk a lot about what's truly right by science. And we talk about a new training style that Rich has been working on since he heard about CrossFit. In my honest opinion, his newest theory is the missing piece we've all been looking for. Welcome to one of the moments in sport when everything changes. I'm so excited to be part of it and I'm more excited to drop this episode in your eardrums. God speed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-diaz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Brooks Meadows is the host of Barbell Buddha Rediscovered where he shines light on Chris Moore who, before his passing, left a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom about strength, family, philosophy, science, vice, and how to live an exuberant, self realized existence. He also owns Recess 901, a gym located in Memphis where they put the fun back in fitness bound by the same tenets that makes a school recess special: Community, Autonomy, and Simplicity. In this final episode of The Bledsoe Show with Shrugged Collective, Brooks and I talked about his early trials and tribulations when starting out his gym Recess 901, what makes the gym different, and we celebrated Chris' life by taking sharing some memories with him and how Brooks is honoring Chris' legacy through his Barbell Buddha Rediscovered podcast. --------------------------------------------------- Show notes: https://shruggedcollective.com/tbs-meadows --------------------------------------------------- ► Travel thru Europe with us on the Shrugged Voyage, more info here: https://www.theshruggedvoyage.com/ ► What is the Shrugged Collective?

There are some "universal truths" about food, health, and the wisdom of our doctors that we all take for granted – but in this episode of Muscle Maven Radio, Ashleigh speaks with practicing physician Dr. Ken Berry bout his book, Lies My Doctor Told me, in an effort to debunk some faulty research and flawed advice as well as empower individuals to do their own research, ask questions, and work with their doctors to achieve optimal health—rather than simply taking every piece of information we see at face value. We discuss the complicated topic of hormone health and hormone replacement therapy, we deep dive into different diet approaches including paleo, keto, and carnivore, and we ask deeply important questions like, are BBQ and coffee bad for you or what? Dr. Ken Berry is a practicing board certified physician, an Amazon best-selling author, and a passionate advocate of health on his YouTube channel where he has over 600,000 subscribers. Along with his online presence, he is active in his own community of Camden Tennessee where he has been practicing at The Berry Clinic since 2003. Dr. Berry is known for his direct, no nonsense approach to health and wellness. After signing with Victory Belt Publishing House this year, Dr. Berry just released a second edition of his best-selling book Lies My Doctor Told Me. He is also in the process of writing his second book called Common Sense Keto for Type II Diabetes. Minute Breakdown: 5 – 20 Intro into Dr. Berry and his provocative book, Lies My Doctor Told Me, the problematic culture of symptom-based medicine, and overworked doctors who don't have time read research or address their patients in a holistic way. How to broach subjects or concerns or ask questions of your doctor without causing problems. 20 - 42 We talk about hormones: why women are more than just estrogen; key points women should be aware regarding hormonal health; issues with synthetic hormone replacements; and ways to improve hormone profiles naturally. Also: are the negative symptoms of menopause avoidable? 42 – 57 A discussion of paleo, keto, and carnivore diets, how they work, and when they can be useful to treat certain health challenges 57 – Debunking some health myths around meat consumption and preparation (is grilling and blackening your meat bad? Are preserved meats always unhealthy? Can I eat a hot dog without feeling guilty?)

Travis Kennedy is a 13 year Navy SEAL veteran. After becoming a member of my gym, CHALK, just a few months, I've always had so many questions I wanted to ask. I mean, who hasn't wanted to be a Navy SEAL at one point in their life? And when you meet one, I feel like you just want to ask them everything! So that's what this show is about. It's a little bit of everything from an internally super excited child version of myself, but also with a take away message of how to take that Navy SEAL mindset and incorporate it into your everyday life. If we all had just a little more of that mentality each day, so many people wouldn't have to be searching Instagram for motivation daily. They would be their own source of motivation. They would be more confident, more assertive, more structured... And the list really goes on and on... But the show doesn't just stop there, we also hit on some the scariest and some best times of his career as well as what gets him excited in civilian life. I think everyone is really going to benefit from this one! I'm super excited for everyone to listen to it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-kennedy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

This podcast is all about evolution: how scary, difficult, frustrating, and ultimately freeing empowering it can be to figure out how to let go of things that aren't serving you anymore and allow yourself to grow, change, and move on. Whether in fitness, business, relationships, or life in general, the key to authenticity and happiness is being able to learn from your experiences, pick and choose what works for you, and sometimes, take a leap into the unknown. Today's guest, nutritional therapy consultant, podcast host, author, and fitness and nutrition coach Steph Gaudreau talks about her own journey, including her recent significant rebranding and all the fear that comes with rebuilding after the painstaking process of building a brand and a following. Steph talks about shifting priorities, stepping out of a "scarcity mindset," and how staying true to yourself, even when that truth changes, is the best way to live and build a business. Steph Gaudreau's mission is to help women create bigger, bolder, fiercer lives — by building health from the inside out She's a Nutritional Therapy Consultant, author, blogger, coach, podcaster, and the creator of the former Stupid Easy Paleo. Steph wrote the best-seller The Paleo Athlete: A Beginner's Guide to Real Food for Performance in 2014, and her award-winning book, The Performance Paleo Cookbook: Recipes for Eating Better, Getting Stronger & Gaining the Competitive Edge. Her upcoming book The Core 4, due out in July 2019, shares her Core 4 pillars of health. Steph hosts her Harder to Kill Radio podcast, where she talks all things fitness, nutrition and mindset about how to build unbreakable humans. She's also the creator of the Core 4 health program, and the Women's Strength Summit. Steph's an accomplished strength coach (USA Weightlifting Level 1) and is the creator of fitness programs like Made Strong, Basic Barbell, and Oly Lifting Basics. She coached Olympic weightlifting at CrossFit Fortius in San Diego for 3.5 years and holds numerous CrossFit certifications. Minute Breakdown: 0 - 17 Ashleigh starts the podcast by talking about her own health and fitness journey and evolution 17 – 27 Steph talks about what it's like to have a busy online business, how she structures her day, and tips for how to stay focused and avoid distraction when working from home 27 –43 Ashleigh and Steph talk about stepping out of fitness-related comfort zones, including switching from CrossFit to Brazilian jiu jitsu, and how her background in CrossFit and Olympic lifting helps inform her current movement and exercise 43 – 49 Talking about her rebrand from her popular Stupid Easy Paleo platform to her new eponymous brand, with less of a focus on a specific diet protocol and more on helping women with nutrition, fitness, and mindset: helping women find their voices and feel empowered to take up space in their lives and careers 49 – 1:02 Learning about the pros and cons of labels and categories, whether it's labeling your brand or your nutrition or your fitness approach; how it can be both helpful and limiting 1:02 – Discussing the evolution of her fitness and business and how she learned to worry less about making everyone happy and more about making herself happy, through supporting other women in their journeys. So often, women are expected to be "palatable" to everyone, says Steph: not too strong, not too outspoken, pleasing and cute and happy to fit in to the mold others set for them. But doing the hard work of staying true to ourselves, even when it's hard, will reflect positively in our businesses, our relationships, and even our fitness.

A graduate of The Ohio State University, Mr. Myers has since become the Strength and Conditioning Coach at the Ohio Regional Training Center at Ohio State. Business partner with Cory Gregory (who I had on 2 weeks ago), the two own and operate The Old School Gym in Pataskala, Ohio. Coach Myers is known for working out with his students and incorporating more strength training than traditional wrestling coaches. In addition to his many achievements as a coach, athlete, and business man — Mr. Myers also happens to be a family man and someone that many of us can relate to. He's a solid role model for many and his approach to coaching and lifestyle is nothing short of motivating. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Jill Coleman coaches fitness coaches on how to build their business, find their passion, and balance their own health and happiness too. Coming from a background of fitness competitions and modeling, she's certainly not the first fitness pro who's struggled with dysfunctional attitudes towards eating and exercise and self-acceptance, but she's done a fantastic job of doing the hard work that it takes to get unstuck from a cycle of shame, self-blame, and overwork to a place where she can help others as well as take care of herself. In this interview, we deep dive into how we can be a contributing, authentic part of the health and fitness industry without becoming obsessive; her experiences from fitness competitions and yo-yo-dieting to finding her version of moderation; how she grew from a scarcity mindset to one based on balance; knowing the difference between ambition and obsession; and how to snap out of a rut, be it in business, life, or fitness. Jill Coleman's journey in health and fitness began when she got her first job at a gym at 15 (for the free membership). Jill earned a B.S. in Exercise Science from Wake Forest University and went on to earn an M.S. in Human Nutrition at the University of Bridgeport. While she learned a lot during her years of exercise science and nutrition education, fitness competitions and modeling, and having her work featured in SELF magazine, SHAPE, Women's Health magazine, and more, she also found herself struggling with food and exercise obsession. Through a lot of hard work and introspection, Jill was able to work on making balance, moderation, and health a priority over six pack abs, and launched her personal brand at JillFit.com in 2010, which has since evolved from a fitness competition prep service to a range of comprehensive online programs and resources for women who want to break the cycle of shame, unsustainable diet, and punishing exercise to create a life they love encompassing mindset, fitness, and business. Minute Breakdown: 7 - 23 Introduction to Jill and her work coaching and teaching other fitness coaches; her thoughts on how you can be a leader in the fitness industry without being obsessive 23 – 33 Her experiences with fitness and bodybuilding competitions, both positive and negative 33 – 47 A discussion of a key moment in her life (the discovery of her husband's affair) and how Jill escaped what she called a "blame culture" and worked on healing through introspection and sharing 47 – 59 A conversation about how to tell your own story: knowing how to market yourself as a coach or trainer by being aware of what you can offer and what people are looking for 59 – 1:07 How she made her way out of a creative rut by writing a full length romance novel – which she doesn't plan on publishing! 1:07 – 1:19 Finding the balance between ambition, challenging yourself, working hard, and enjoying your life; the importance of goal setting 1:19 – 1:28 Talk about the biggest challenges of fitness coaching (spoiler alert, it's expectation management) Getting people to just keep showing up to the process. We are in the trust business, which takes time to earn. 1:28 How to be useful, authentic, and interesting on the internet for your business, and why popularity on social media doesn't necessarily correlate to coaching success; you have to know how to use it effetively. Why your mindset and approach to challenge is more important than the challenge itself Learn more about how Beekeeper's Naturals can support immunity, energy, and health for active people – check out https://try.beekeepersnaturals.com/muscle-maven/ to see some of Ashleigh's favorite products and use the code musclemaven for a 15 percent discount on anything you buy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/mmr-coleman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Tommy Hackenbruck happened to be the owner of the first CrossFit gym I ever stepped foot in. At the time, I didn't even know what the CrossFit Games were or who Tommy really was. He was always a super humble guy who never even made it a point to tell me that he got 2nd place at the CrossFit Games. He later became the Broken Skulk Ranch Champion, an owner of multiple gym locations (which was rare at the time), and worked out alone most of the time at a place called "Gym Jones" which has always been a famous training spot that requires an invitation to walk through the door. I wasn't invited for a few years... Anyway, while I was out in Columbus, Ohio I happened to walk by Tommy as he was getting ready for the "Legends" competition at the Rogue Invitational. I haven't talked to him in years and wanted to catch up and see what he's been up to. He had a few things to say about his career and business life. Things he'd do different and things that helped him succeed. It's always good to hear anything from someone who's been in the game this long. I hope to enjoy it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-tommyh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @Hylete- Hylete.com - RC15 for 15% ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Ultra endurance runner Courtney Dauwalter is pretty chill for a person who can run more than 200 miles without stopping. She's run plenty of 100 mile + races, often breaking and setting records, often beating the rest of the pack (men and women) by significant margins. Take the Moab 240 race in Utah last year, where she 238 miles in under 58 hours, crushing the male second-place finisher by more than ten hours. In addition to her seemingly superhuman feats of endurance and resilience, Courtney is equally well known for her relaxed, positive, and uncomplicated attitude towards competition, pain, and training. Whether you're an endurance racer or not, we can all learn something about approaching our own struggles, challenges, and goals with a resilient, focused, and positive mindset like Courtney. Listen as we chat about her background in sports, some of her hardest races and craziest challenges, how she trains, how she eats, and how she deals with failure, and why the path to greatness means approaching challenge and pain as "fun problem solving." Courtney Dauwalter is an American ultramarathon runner, who gained mainstream attention in 2016 when she won the Run Rabbit Run 100-miler in Colorado less than one minute off the course record and set the record on the Javelina Jundred 100K. In 2017, she set the record for the longest run in 24 hours, at 155.391 miles during the Riverbank One Day Classic. She also won the 2017 Run Rabbit Run during which she battled temporary blindness for the final 12 miles. In 2018, she ran 279.2 miles in what's known as Big's Backyard Ultra, a grueling race during which runners have to complete a 4.16667-mile loop each hour: the last person standing wins. By the third night of that race, only Dauwalter and Johan Steene remained. After going mile for mile with Steene for 67 hours, Dauwalter conceded. At that point, she and Steene had run 33 miles farther in the race than anyone had before. Also in 2018, she finished the Moab 240 race in Utah in 2 days, 9 hours, and 59 minutes, faster than any of the men or women in the pack and beating the second-place finisher by more than 10 hours. Courtney is equally as well known for her baggy running shorts, penchant for beer and candy, and positive, easygoing outlook in the face of near insurmountable challenges. Here's a short YouTube documentary about Courtney and article about her in the New York Times. Minute Breakdown: 4 - 13 Introduction to Courtney and her most recent race, what her training and racing season looks like 13 – 16 Her background in high school cross country and other sports, and what fuels her competitive streak and drive to push and compete, even when it's only against herself. What kind of strategy does she employ to keep pushing boundaries, even when she's winning by hours? 16 –24 What does her pre-race week look like? What does her sleep look like? What time does she train, how does she train? Find out why she doesn't listen to music on her crazy long training runs 24 – 42 A deep dive into her mindset around training and her notably relaxed attitude towards the details: why she isn't putting a lot of thought into recovery, diet, or new technology 42 – 52 How do ultra runners eat and fuel themselves during training and during actual races? 52 – 59 How she thinks about mental resilience: how she talks about herself, how she deals with failures 59 – 1:04 We talk about some of her scarier injuries and experiences during races, including falls and suffering corneal edema (temporary blindness) during a race – which she still finished 1: 04 – What upcoming races and goals is Courtney working on?

Yohan Blake is a Jamaican sprinter of the 100-meter and 200-meter sprint races. He won gold at the 100 m at the 2011 World Championships as the youngest 100 m world champion ever, and a silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the 100 m and 200 m races for the Jamaican team. Blake is the second fastest man ever in both 100 m and 200 m. Together with Tyson Gay, he is the joint second fastest man ever over 100 m with a personal best of 9.69 seconds which he ran on 23 August 2012 with less favorable wind conditions than Gay's personal best from three years prior. Only Usain Bolt has run faster. His personal best for the 200 m (19.26 seconds) is the second fastest time ever after Bolt. He holds the Jamaican national junior record for the 100 meters, and was formerly the youngest sprinter to have broken the 10-second barrier (at 19 years, 196 days).

Cory Gregory is a real life Zoolander story. Starting as a coal miner, he eventually built a huge following and fitness business. He's competed in almost every genre of fitness there is, including a powerlifting, bodybuilding, and Olympic lifting meet all in the SAME weekend. He's been on multiple huge magazine covers (13 to be exact). He was one of the original owners in Musclepharm. And he now owns Max Effort Muscle, the Biz and Biceps Podcast, and Old School Gym.

Ashleigh chats with Vanessa Lambert, co-founder of Bee the Wellness, a health coaching and luxury healthy adventure retreat business, about her varied and eclectic background in fitness ranging from gymnastics to competitive surfing to CrossFit to firefighting and beyond, about the ways in which challenging yourself through physical activity can teach you who you really are. A health and fitness enthusiast since childhood, Vanessa came into coaching quite accidentally. As a promising young gymnast, her coach asked if she would instruct the introductory classes at her gym. Her natural love of the movement was only deepened by sharing it with others. No stranger to competitive sport, Vanessa played soccer, basketball, swam competitively, and was also co-captain of her cheerleading squad. In her early 20's she moved to Maui to improve her surfing practice and became one of the first female surf instructors in the Hawaiian islands. She and Adam were also an integral part of the CrossFit NorCal team that took third place in the affiliate games in 2009. It would be her years at NorCal Strength and Conditioning training under the tutelage of Robb Wolf and his wife Nicki, and later working with Mark Sisson, that her ancestral wellness practice would deepen. Working closely with Mark at the Primal Blueprint headquarters over four years, Vanessa developed their personal coaching program and luxury retreat vacations. This experience is what motivated her to co-create the Bee The Wellness program with her husband Adam, whom she met through their mutual work as firefighters. These days, her focus is to help as many people as possible become the very best version of themselves. Minute Breakdown: 2 - 15 Introduction to Vanessa and how sports helped her build confidence from a very young age 15 – 19 The sports Vanessa and Ashleigh think are ideal for young people in terms of body awareness, strength, and confidence 19 – 35 Vanessa's experience learning about surfing and moving to Hawaii to compete in surfing and become one of the first female surf instructors in Maui at the time 35 – 45 Why she decided to get into firefighting, and the challenges of the job as a 5'3, 125 pound woman; why the job is incredibly hard on your health and how to work around its challenges 45 – 55 How she and her husband got into CrossFit in the very early days, and what competing in the sport taught her about strength, capability, and goal-setting 55 – 1:07 How Vanessa and Adam developed their coaching business and luxury retreats company; a discussion of some of the coaching programs they offer, including her Authentic Self program 1:07 – 1:16 How she combines spirituality and mental health with physical health 1:16 – 1:19: Why "adventurous" retreats are so revelatory, especially for women who may be traveling or going on an adventure alone for the first time 1:19 - What she's learned about the human condition and physical and mental strength through her work coaching and going on adventures for a living Learn more at beethewellness.com and follow along on Instagram @beethewellness Reach out to me on Instagram @themusclemaven to say hi and tell me what you thought of the podcast, head to ashleighvanhouten.com to sign up for my weekly health and fitness newsletter, and if you enjoyed the episode please share on social media and leave me a nice rating and review on iTunes! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/mmr-lambert ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @Hylete- Hylete.com - MMR15 for 15% ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

With a competitive gymnastics background, Kari Pearce began training at New York Health and Racquet club where she met a powerlifting coach and did her first competition. While she was preparing for my competition, the owner of CrossFit SPOT contacted her about coaching CrossFit because he knew of her gymnastics and training background.

The other sports were great but she loved that there are so many different movements and always something to work on with CrossFit. Once Pearce started, she realized her background was perfect and she began to excel quickly. Six months after beginning CrossFit training, Pearce found herself competing at the EastRegional. In her first year she was able to qualify for the CrossFit Games and finish 21st placein the world. After this, Pearce knew she had found her sport and loves everyday of it!

This week Ashleigh talks with Dr. Emily Kiberd, a chiropractic physician and founder of the Urban Wellness Clinic in New York City, about what a strength-focused, holistic chiropractor actually does and does not do; what is hypermobility, why it can be problematic for stability and athletic performance, and how to address it; and how strength training can improve mobility and stability, and (surprisingly) address issues like autoimmune disease, a complex and varied health challenge that disproportionally effects women.

Garrett is the founder of NeuFit in Austin, Texas. But that didn't happen overnight. Growing up as a hockey player, he struggled with his own injuries and lack of natural athleticism. These experiences inspired him to do thousands of hours of research and try almost everything that's out there. During that process, he met disappointment after disappointment, and became extremely frustrated. In parallel, he ended up studying to become an Engineer. Seeing nothing but dead ends in the physical therapy realm, Engineering was going to be his "day job" and allow him to build real solutions to problems. Fortunately, in his last year of college ice hockey (he ended up making some progress and become a practice-squad player), he had a chance encounter with a Functional Neurologist. The new approach he encountered ended up being a big "Eureka!" moment, and he healed torn ligaments on their own - without surgery! He finally learned about the power of the Nervous System, and found a way to turn his passion for the human body into a way to make a difference in people's lives. After some formal apprenticeship and more self-study, he opened his first facility in 2009. It was a very humble beginning: just Garrett and some equipment in 250 square feet. He continued to evolve, studying with various mentors, performing lots of experimentation, and even entering a Ph.D. program in Neuroscience. Fortunately, his work had a big impact in people's lives and started to catch on in the community. Now, the business has grown to one of the premier fitness and rehabilitation facilities in the country. On any given day, you will likely see some professional and Olympic athletes, along with executives and homemakers, all working to improve their health and fitness. In addition, dozens of other facilities around the country have adopted the NeuFit technology and approach. During that time, Garrett also patented and launched a new electrical stimulation device, the NEUBIE. It is a very powerful tool that allows NeuFit practitioners to accelerate their clients progress in fitness and injury recovery. The NEUBIE has now helped people of all ages and in almost all situations, helping them get out of pain, improve performance, sometimes avoid surgeries and get out of wheelchairs, and live life at a higher level. He maintains a limited practice schedule in Austin, and spends more time teaching other practitioners and presenting his work around the country. Garrett breaks down the benefits of the Neufit sessions and how it stimulates the body while training. Discussions on how Neufit tapps into nervous system in a different way . Teaching you how to activate different muscles. Instilling new patterns for engaging muscles and benefit than more traditional methods and technologies. Neuromuscular rééducation. Minute Breakdown: 0 - 18 Discovering where the biggest problems are in the body and correcting those. What was the first injury that started a domino effect to cause other injuries and pain? How to understand and fix that. The importance of how we respond to injuries is just as important as fixing injuries themselves. 18 - 29 Breaking patterns to help with injuries and prevent them. The importance of flexibility and lengthening muscles. How the body tightens up to avoid injury. Protective reactions and why they are good but also counterproductive for healing and movement. 29 - 42 How one treatment helped a man's back feel better over the last year than the last 15 years. Empowering people to know you can improve an you don't need to rely on drugs or people. You can do it now. 42 - 50: Garret touches on his journey from inventor, scientist, to running a business and wearing different hats. How Neufit has changed so many lives and the growth it has seen. 50 + The progress people have made from a rehab perspective. The neurological approval to Neufit and how this has helped people with spinal injuries, brain injuries. How people have walked out of wheelchairs from these sessions. What electrical body scans do. --------------------------------------------------- Show notes: https://shruggedcollective.com/tbs-neufit --------------------------------------------------- ► Travel thru Europe with us on the Shrugged Voyage, more info here: https://www.theshruggedvoyage.com/ ► What is the Shrugged Collective?

Brandon contacted me a few weeks ago in regards to opening a gym. I figured instead of writing him a long message, I would just go down and see him at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista and record it. Not only was it an amazing experience to be around all these amazing athletes, but I got to hear a lot more of Brandon's story and understand why he's where he's at and why he would want to open a gym in the first place. He's overcome a ton adversity, he's a brilliant guy, and literally everything we talk about has so much value to anyone looking to open their own business or even train athletes in general. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-schrom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @Hylete- Hylete.com - RC15 for 15% ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Marcus Filly grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and had a collegiate career in soccer at the University of California, Berkeley. There he earned his degree in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Nutrition and Physiology. After Berkeley he complete a year of graduate work at the Ohio State University School of Medicine. His interest in both athletics and human health and performance eventually led him to CrossFit in 2007. He has gone on to compete at the CrossFit Games 6 times, three times as an individual (2016 12th fittest) and three times as a team member (2012 6th fittest team). Marcus has been a health and fitness coach for ten years since leaving medical school in 2009. He was formerly a CrossFit facility owner for five years, has completed all five of the OPEX CCP courses, and has coached clients remotely from all over the world. Marcus founded Revival Strength, based in San Rafael, California, to help clients from diverse fitness backgrounds fall in love with their training. Revival Strength also offers remote and online group training programs. What better way to work on looking, feeling, and performing better than to learn from someone who's had a lot of success doing it. Elite CrossFit athlete, gym owner, and trainer Marcus Filly talk to us about the evolution of his own approach to training, mindset and coaching as he went from his twenties to thirties, and his shift in approach from maximum intensity competitive CrossFit to longevity, recovery, and functional training, while still maintaining a high level of performance (and beach bod muscles). We talk about the growth of functional bodybuilding, his personalized approach to coaching, how he works, trains, and eats, and how to shift your mindset: stop comparing your current self to your former self, and instead embrace new challenges, goals, and training paradigms. Minute Breakdown: 0 - 19 What is functional bodybuilding? We dive straight into a meathead discussion on injury prevention, hybrid training, and how to manage our desire for intensity and tendency for overtraining. How can high performing and recreational athletes alike still chase goals, challenge themselves, and look good in different phases of their life? 19 – 29 How to remove the ego from training; why pain is a powerful motivator; why comparison rarely has the positive outcomes you hope it will; and how exploring new training methodologies can improve your fitness as you get older 29 – 33 Talking about his experience training under James Fitzgerald and taking all 5 of the OPEX CCP courses and how this informs his training and coaching 33 – 38 Why the key, as a trainer, is to listen and truly understand what clients want; being able to support both elite athletes and the majority of people who just want to look and feel better without simply pushing your own personal approach 38 – 52 What's a day in Marcus' life like? How does he balance work and health, and how does he turn his challenges—in life and business—into learning opportunities 52 – We chat about nutrition and his personal approach, including some testing he had recently that informed him that he shouldn't be drinking coffee – Ashleigh offers an alternative ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/mmr-filly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @Hylete- Hylete.com - Mavin15 for 15% off ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.
