Milam Byers goes deep with us this week on Feed Me Fuel Me. The lead guitarist of the band Bleach shares his experience with reforming his identity after the band broke up. How do you stay positive. How do you remain present for your family, your wife, your kids, after everything you've ever known is over and done with? Compound your identity crisis with the loss of your brother on the battlefield of the war in Afghanistan, and you have a lot to process very quickly. Only through the expression of vulnerability, and the humility of voicing everything he kept inside, was Milam able to overcome the end of and old life, and loss of a loved one. Now he has shifted gears and made it his life's mission to empower those that have less. Driving the mission of Food for the Hungry and Striking Out Poverty, Milam is connecting athletes with a passion for change with communities that struggle in the third world. In Milam's words, "No one ever got upset because they gave too much." Enjoy Milam's journey and thanks for joining us for this week's episode! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/fmfm_byers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ► 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.

Social media is the future, and in order to dominate your field you must have a strong social media presence with unique influencers, organic content, and ingenious marketing. Which is why you are about to listen to my man Chad McBain. Chad has helped build several 7 figure businesses by being the "man behind the scenes" and setting a ridiculous standard for what it means to be an expert in social media marketing. Are you having trouble in this area at all!? Then this is definitely the episode for you. Chad lays out some ground rules that make people successful or ultimately make people broke. Having been in his own whirlwind of ups and downs, like myself, he points out the most important factors that kept him motivated during every step of the way. We also touch on several new business ventures that he is currently working on with his significant other (Laci Kay Somers @lacikaysomers… Who just happens to have 10M followers) including cryptocurrency, music, and exotic car businesses. This episode literally has a little bit of EVERYTHING in it with a super casual feel. You're going to learn a ton while also feeling like you're sitting on the couch right next to us. Let's bro out, get motivated, and learn some things.

Tero Isokauppila knows more about mushrooms than you ever thought possible, and he breaks it all down in ways that the average human can understand. (Don't want to be an average human? Start drinking mushroom coffee.) Originally from Finland, Tero has farming and science in his blood, and he brings this heritage to bear in everything he does with his company, Four Sigmatic. It's his goal to improve people's life quality, using nutrition as a stepping stone to whole-person wellness. His new book, Santa Sold Shrooms, will be published soon and it will blow your mind. We talk about the origin of the Santa Claus story we know today (hint: it involves psychedelic mushrooms), and dive into the controversial possibility that well-known religions were based on mushroom-induced hallucinations. Tero explains the meaning of Four Sigmatic, how cordyceps were discovered, and why you shouldn't eat raw mushrooms—using a semen analogy—as well as how foods become superfoods and why we need to care about eye health. It's an info-packed episode that will make you feel smarter before you've even started drinking Lion's Mane. Get educated! Episode Highlights: 2:50 🍄 Tero's origins: degrees, parents, heritage 4:20 🍄 Why natural supplements don't appeal to athletes, but adaptogens are different 7:00 🍄 Some science-y sh*t about nutrient density, and what "four sigmatic" means 9:10 🍄 If you give a yak a mushroom...(how cordyceps was discovered) 11:15 🍄 Why you shouldn't eat raw mushrooms (there's a sperm analogy in here) 13:15 🍄 The cure for cancer is...mushrooms?? 17:00 🍄 The new marketing landscape, and how information spreads 18:50 🍄 The four mushroom pillars 21:40 🍄 The next uncharted territories: eye health, immunity 28:00 🍄 The different kinds of magic mushrooms 29:40 🍄 What we currently know about mushrooms' effect on the brain 31:50 🍄 The evolution of Santa Sold Shrooms 33:40 🍄 Details and spoilers 35:00 🍄 What do mushrooms have to do with religion?

When Jessica Woods came to CrossFit PHX life was not going her way. Back in Arizona and going through divorce, she was lost in a fog of indecision. It took almost a year to get back on her feet. Along the way, she had convinced herself that fitness was her life path, and made every attempt to prove that story true. Although she was having an incredibly positive impact on those she served as a trainer and coach, she still felt empty inside. As we've proven time and again through the stories of our guests on Feed Me Feed Me Fuel Me, timing is everything. Through soul searching and a few chance conversations with mentors like Derz, Jessica discovered that nursing was her calling, and decided to pave her new life path as a corpsman in the US Navy. As fate would have it, she ended up "greenside" serving alongside Marines. We catch up with Jessica as life has come full circle to see what she has manifested in her new life of service! Thank you to Jessica and all our service men and women! - Jeff and Mycal ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/fmfm_woods ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ► 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.

Eric Bassett is the brain behind EB30X, a 30-minute workout that changes lives. His brick-and-mortar gym is located in Illinois, but he trains people around the country and he won't turn anyone down no matter what their physical limitations are. Everyone wants to train fit people, but Eric is working hard to bring fitness and health to the people who need it most. The videos of him training with clients (or "teammates," as he calls them) who have upwards of 100 pounds to lose have gone viral and gained him lots of attention in the fitness world. I sat down with Eric at the Fit Expo in San Diego to talk about his brand and his experience with building his business. We discuss the similarities and differences in our stories, how we found our callings, and why failure isn't the worst thing. Turns out, landing in a federal prison camp can be exactly what needs to happen for you to figure out what your purpose in life is—who knew?! Plus, we take some hits at those pyramid scheme-based shake companies, hate on water breaks and Botox, and deal some hard truth about what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.

Before Kory launched Korporate Wellness, he was tested numerous times. Life attempted to derail him or test his commitment in every way imaginable. The greatest test came by way of his father leaving him and his mother when bottom fell out of the economy. To say he's lived a life of constant transition since then would be an understatement. We caught up with Kory not long after he reconnected with his father. His outlook on their relationship will leave you with a breath of hope. He has become a success despite his many transitions and the absence of his father. This week on Feed Me Fuel Me we sit down with Kory, now thriving and coaching at CrossFit 760, to discover how he developed the strength to forgive!

Dr. Daniel Chao, CEO of Halo Neuroscience and creator of Halo Sport, dedicated his whole life to understanding the brain and its function. Specifically, how electrical stimulation can help the brain more rapidly improve physical performance, cognitive function, and overall happiness. Halo Sport is the first-ever brain stimulator used to accelerate movement-based learning. In other words, it speeds up the development of skill, strength, and endurance, depending on the type of training that you pair with it. Halo Sport works by applying non-invasive, mild electrical current to the motor cortex (part of the brain responsible for movement), allowing your brain to build stronger connections and learn movement faster. For example: You can wear Halo Sport for 20 minutes before your training session, which gives you one hour of what neuroscientists call "hyperlearning" or "hyperplasticity". Training with it accelerates gains across skill, strength, and endurance. In this episode, we talk to Dr. Chao about how the brain is wired for movement, how to increase mastery of movements by 50%, incorporating meditation and visualization into performance that matters, how to increase fine motor skills and advanced movements through brain stimulation, how to maximize performance in CrossFit with 20 minutes of use in your warm up, and more.

Laurie Christine King (@lauriechristineking) is a dietetics grad, nutrition coach, educational blogger, and total badass in the nutrition and fitness space who utilizes social media as a free educational platform and specializes in hormone health. Not only that, but she has a way of saying things that's much more untraditional than most. Don't get me wrong, it's always incredibly accurate, insightful, and well researched... It's also hilarious, witty, and kind of truck driver-ish which makes it incredibly easy to read and listen to. The dynamic duo of Fisch + LCK will have you laughing your ass right out of your seat. In this episode, we talk extensively on both men and women's hormone health and cover topics including low testosterone, gynecomastia, testosterone therapy, and how to naturally improve hormone health. We then flip the script for the ladies and talk about something that may be tanking your sex drive, causing thyroid issues, keeping you from seeing gains in the gym, losing fat, or having the body composition you want. This is the first time I've had a topic like this on the show and also the first time I've had someone on with a mouth just as dirty as mine. Get ready to learn a TON and have a blast while doing it. Tag and your share with your friends - this is an episode you wan't want to miss! - Ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc_king ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please Support our Sponsor @vuori- www.vuoriclothing.com - Use coupon code REALCHALK25 ► 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.

Continuing our series of badass females on Feed Me Fuel Me, is Jill Petersen, founder of Hermonia. Jill has been on journey of personal growth and development for some time now. As she would grow to find, the path to happiness and fulfillment begins within. Through an extensive process she was required to ask herself the deepest questions and find the gaps in her development. Jill was required to confront the reality that her failed relationships were the results of a void left behind by personal struggles with family. The kicker is, the stories Jill created, didn't even belong to her. She was subconsciously holding on to others' pain, validating a story that didn't really exist. After a significant battle with postpartum depression, Jill realized that she needed to work on herself. Not only for herself, but also for her relationship with her husband, family and friends. Then came her epiphany: she wasn't the only one. That said, not many women are empowered with skills and tools to facilitate that kind of deep work on their own. Insert Hermonia! Jill has created a service in which she coaches women to a place of strength where they were once weak. She has created a platform for women to find their voice again! Join us this week and learn about Jill's journey and the abundance she now lives in as a result of her mission to deliver strength where it was once absent for so many!!

I've been friends with Natalie Eva Marie and Jonathan Coyle for years, and it's unbelievable how much these two do. They're some of the coolest people I know, and yet they're still down to earth enough to send me a text to see how I'm doing or invite me over for a BBQ. You might recognize Natalie from WWE's Smackdown LIVE in 2013, whose roster also features wrestlers like John Cena, or from the movie Inconceivable, which she starred in opposite Academy Award winners Nicolas Cage and Faye Dunaway. Natalie also had cameo roles on "Entourage," "CSI: New York," and "90210." But don't label her an actress just yet — She's also a beauty and fitness expert with her own fashion and hair extension lines! She's also been on the cover of literally every magazine and appeared in two video games. Her husband Jonathan studied law before deciding to get his MBA instead. He also had his time in the spotlight — He was the face of several super-successful supplement brands, and campaigns like NIKE | UNBROKEN before he became Natalie's full-time manager. He knows his stuff and he's truly the brains behind the operation for this woman and all that she has going on. It's Natalie and Jonathan's candor and passion that made them a blast to have as podcast guests. They have an amazing story to tell, and I can't wait for you to hear it!

Big Brother came into my life when I wasn't myself and was struggling to reconnect with myself. In this episode of Building A Badass, I talk about my experience on Big Brother (the TV show), how breaking my foot put me in a deeper dark place, how coming out of the house was a harder shell shock than I could have imagined, and how the messages of my fans helped me reconnect to myself and my why, pulling me back to a positive place. 2017 was hard as hell, but it was preparing me for the greatest gift I was going to receive in 2018, a child. This is the story of my struggle and what brought me out of it just in time to truly appreciate the largest blessing in my life, pregnancy.

This episode is with an all time favorite guest, Mr. Ronnie Teasdale (@ra_of_earth), a.k.a Ravi Chander. He's such an interesting character that literally every minute spent talking to him just brightens your day. As an old friend and employee of his from the days of "Mean Streets" in Los Angeles... I've had a front row seat for his current journey. He's gone from a regionals level CrossFIt athlete, gym owner, to training for the circus, a yogi, and is currently a student of all things life (and beyond). Ronnie has a very interesting view on the ways he sees the world and the way he lives his life. For what may seem like pure "weirdness" to pretty much everyone, it's really hard to not agree with almost everything he says. In this episode, we touch on some MIND BLOWING stuff, including orgasms (a few other sex topics), the "reality" of "multiple realities", and even religious beliefs (for a little). It will be the easiest and fastest listen you've had on a podcast in a while... And when it's over... You'll be thirsty for more. Let's enter the world of Ronnie Teasdale ladies and gentlemen. Buckle your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy one ;) - Ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc_teasdale ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please Support our Sponsor @vuori- www.vuoriclothing.com - Use coupon code REALCHALK25 ► 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.

Matt Cooper, a.k.a Coop, is a nutrition consultant, strength & conditioning coach, and sport scientist from California. Driven by an obsession to expand human performance, Coop spends his time researching, experimenting, doing nerdy things, and building better humans in general at Stand Out Performance (Fast Twitch LA) in Compton, California.

He's also a recovering crack addict, a convicted felon, and a man driven to the edge of human endurance and achievement. Charlie is the author of Running Man: A Memoir of Ultra-Endurance, a gripping, vivid, gritty, funny, unforgettable memoir chronicling his globe-spanning races, his record-breaking 4500-mile run across the Sahara Desert, his decade long struggle with addiction, and an unfortunate stint in federal prison for mortgage fraud.

In this episode of Building A Badass, I talk about having confidence in your own work and knowledge, and what you can give the world by being who you are. I tell you how I unexpectedly became a writer through living my passion and being curious about the world. Through passion I was able to explore what good nutrition looked like, and figure out what works for me. Using those tools, I just kept growing my confidence stronger and stronger, which eventually led me to end up in a National Best Seller list.

Our guest this week, Aaron Guyett (@aaronguyett) has been given a warrior mind and body, that MUST serve, sacrifice, and lead in love for God and his fellow man. As a father, Marine, and coach, his why is summed up in seven words: "Give your life in love for others." Aaron wants people to know that they are loved and they matter. His intention through Leaders of Leaders (@leadersofleaders) is to give all of himself so that others may be lifted up for something greater than themselves. He cannot stand people mistreating the weak, taking advantage of the poor, or giving up to a life of victimhood. He believes we are all strong beyond measure, and even more so when we experience God's love and everlasting life. Thanks for joining us this week, and let us know what stays with you after listening to Aaron's journey on this episode of Feed Me Fuel Me!

This episode is peppered in with all the things; how to start and grow an online business, follow your dreams while answering to no one, raising the standard of care for pregnancy and post pregnancy women, debunking pregnancy fitness myths, nutrition chat, and so much more. Fitness and nutrition expert, Nancy Anderson (@nancyandersonfit) M.S. Kinesiology, has paved the way for women to be less scared of "ruining" their bodies from pregnancy, training hard during pregnancy (Crossfit anyone?!), prioritizing self care, and being the breadwinner in her family. Gender norms? WTF is that? She gets raw, real, and down and dirty to how she moved her training business from the gym to online and is on her way to almost a 10x year in her second year of business. In this episode, she chats about how she did it, her tips for others who want to start their own business, finding your passion, and how to stand out in an industry that is so inundated with the "kardashian effect" as she calls it - meaning seeing through the 'fake-ness' on social media. Mom of 2 (both c-sections), Nancy trains over 1,000 moms every month online helping them train for pregnancy, train during pregnancy, heal their bodies and bounce back post pregnancy without any of the fluffy pink dumbbell bullshi*t. Real programs, real workouts, real results, based on real science. Listen here for all of this and more plus a few f*bombs.

Paris Robinson survived drug addictions, being shot 4 times, became homeless and paralyzed. In this episode, Paris opens up about the failings of chasing material and outer things to fix inner happiness, going from football role models to gangster role models, heroine, crack, mushrooms and trying to find drugs of choice to try to fix life problems. Paris also talks about how he found supportive people even behind bars, how he received messages from his dead mother that gave him hope to live, how he overcame what was medically impossible to find body movement again, how deciding to do that one thing you've never done might change your life, keeping to the present times so you don't fall back to your old ways, finding strength to stay focused and on track, and more.

Hustling hard and taking only one day off per month, I had a full plate living out my dreams. I was invited to a NASCAR day in Charlotte, NC and reluctantly tried a new sport, pit crewing. After falling in love with hitting lug nuts, I figured out how to give this new passion a go, which juggled much more in my life than I anticipated. In this episode of Building A Badass, I explain how I discovered NASCAR and the demands of a pit crew, the most unexpected sport. How I almost missed my chance, but instead learned the value of trying new things... Yet again. But this time I made history.

To whom much is given, much is required. Or so they say. Doug Larson sees it a bit differently as he has been given much in the way of coaching and mentorship, so he has made it his mission to give as much, if not more, as he has received. Doug is the cofounder of Barbell Shrugged, one of the longest running podcasts in the fitness space and still going strong. Doug has understood the value of coaching and mentorship since his adolescence, when his coach took him under his wing and introduced him to the world of strength and conditioning. He would go on to play football in college while building proficiency in mixed martial arts and jiu-jitsu. As his education flourished he followed his mentor to Memphis, Tennessee where he would attain his Masters in Movement Science and meet his eventual co-hosts and business partners Mike Bledsoe (@mike_bledsoe) and Chris Moore (@barbellbuddha). Together they would train together, run a gym, and start one of the most prolific fitness podcasts ever. Join us this week as we dive deep into the journey of Doug's evolution from student, to teacher, to master. Find out why Doug has made it his mission to pass on as much knowledge, through as many mediums as possible (ebooks, seminars, podcasts, etc...), reciprocating all that he has been fortunate enough to receive. Doug truly is the embodiment of the abundance mentality and we can't wait to share his message with you this week on Feed Me Fuel Me!
