Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

Nick Shaw is the Founder and CEO of Renaissance Periodization, former competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, and coach to world-class athletes such as CrossFit Games Champions, Olympians, UFC fighters, and Navy SEALs. Nick, along with his wife Lori, co-host the RP Strength Podcast. To many an athlete, or even just the avid gym-goer, the lockdowns presented a ton of challenges to staying in shape. However, both Chase and Nick view these "limitations" from a different perspective. They discuss how having no choice but to be creative with their workouts has forced their bodies to deload. "We always think that more is better," says Nick, referring to his fellow athletes. "It's short-term thinking." A deload allows the body to "catch up" after a build-up of fatigue throughout an intense period of training. Coupled with periodization—well-rounded, systematized training to maximize productivity—more experienced athletes with specific fitness goals will be able to avoid burnout, let their body rest and recover, and maintain their motivation to hit the gym. "Eat enough, sleep enough. Do those two things and your recovery is probably going to be pretty good." Listen in as Chase and Nick go on to discuss best practices for growing as an athlete, with particular emphasis on the often-underestimated factors of nutrition, rest, and, most especially, doing the small monotonous things every day. In Nick's own words: "Little, gradual improvements over time is the success secret of consistently successful people." Follow Nick @nick.shaw.rp Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Nick talks about how he adapted his workouts to the limitations (i.e. lack of access to a gym) imposed by the pandemic. Most people aren't aware of the physiological benefits of a deload - Nick explains why more isn't necessarily better Nick defines periodization and explains its importance in a proper training protocol. A training program should obviously be tailored to your particular goals and level of fitness and be ever-evolving as you progress. Nick shares the elements of an effective routine and how to break through plateaus. Recovery is underrated. Learn the two things you need to do to ensure your body is repairing adequately after every workout.

"We're energetic beings, and if you are not paying attention to your energetic body, and just paying attention to your physical body, there will be illness." Dr. Saman Faramarzi is a naturopathic doctor and Founder of SAFA Life and Wellness. The name of her concierge business doubles as both a portmanteau of her own name, as well as depicting the Farsi word safa, meaning "joy". Joy, says Dr. Sam, is key to her role as a practitioner of self-healing. "My responsibility is to meet my patients where they're at," says Dr. Sam. "So, my job is to open the door—create that space to go deeper." Within the first 15 minutes of a consultation, she asks her patients to share their goals (interestingly, most of her patients wish to "feel lighter"). Many are ready to express themselves openly from the get-go, while others need a little more encouragement to open up. Regardless, for each and every patient, continues Dr. Sam, "we start with the deeper human being questions before we get into the physical symptoms. Then we start the healing." A human being is an energetic being. Chase and Dr. Sam go on to share their respective personal experiences dealing with the repression of trauma, and how they have suffered emotionally in the past as a result. One may look physically perfect on the outside, but be deteriorating on the "inside" to the point of experiencing actual outward symptoms. In Chase's case, those symptoms included panic attacks and, in some cases, blackouts. Dr. Sam describes her process for helping patients unveil the source of grief and begin the process of healing by tapping into their chakra—the energetic level of being. Dr. Sam encourages all of her patients to commit to the process of healing—of growth—just as she is committed to their journeys. Commitment, she says, makes you immune to obstacles of all sizes and opens your eyes to every opportunity that brings you a step closer to achieving your goals. "All the power is in the patient," says Dr. Sam. "I'm only here to give you this information, help you, and work through the obstacles; but it's your commitment to you." Follow Dr. Sam @dr.sam.nd Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Dr. Sam shares what drew her to naturopathic medicine and self-healing as a preventive health measure. What do you need to know if you're thinking of pursuing an M.D. in Naturopathy and what can you expect at naturopathic medical school? A large part of naturopathy is uncovering deep-rooted issues behind surface-level symptoms. Dr. Sam explains how she helps her patients discover those issues. Dr. Sam describes, medically, how to tap into your chakra. She also explains how grief affects a person from a biochemical and physiological perspective. Knowing your why and commitment to yourself are the two biggest steps to eliminating chronic illness in the long-term. Dr. Sam takes us on a tour of her place of work, the social wellness club Remedy Place.

Do you know how to be yourself? Have you taken the time to sit with yourself, learn who you are, and what you want out of life? Often times we delay our potential and our ability to step into our greatness because we are fighting our most natural identity, or even continue living in a confused state. Jessica Zweig is here to help us understand how we can create a conscious life, one that allows us to simply be ourselves. She teaches three main concepts on the path to significant growth; how to deal, how to heal, and how to thrive. Also, she explains why we all naturally crave a sense of belonging at our deepest core and how we can peel back the the blanket of loneliness that 2020 laid over many of us during the global pandemic.

A jump from the field of audio to health, nutrition, and fitness, wouldn't land perfectly when taken overnight. How then did Abel James, the man of the show today, get his mind and body dedicated to teaching and practising good health and nutrition? Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews Abel 'Fat-Burning Man' James, who is a number one best-selling author, a top-10 app developer, musician, radio talk show host, celebrity coach and entrepreneur. He is also the host of the podcast, 'The Fat-Burning Man Show', which is at the top of the charts in many countries around the world. In the era of exhaustive diets and fitness regimes, listening and understanding what your body really needs can be difficult but not impossible. We need to get rid of the things we do not use and focus on that which needs to be prioritized. "I need to keto harder" or "I need to diet harder" are only rants to trick or force yourself into doing things to please others. This is where being like a kid can help. Children enjoy doing things and do it for the fun of the process and learning through it. What's more, they are invisibly rewarded for it later on in their lives. Something which doesn't give you immediate rewards, could have something better in store for your future. Practise healthy eating. Cutting out completely on the carbs or the proteins could just not go well with your body. Abel stresses the need to replace the term "fruits and vegetables" with "vegetables and fruits". Do you see why he does that? You need to reverse the priority you give to the two! Focus your energy in the right direction and invest in those that are good for you. Tune in to the complete episode for some amazing tips on healthy eating, exercise and living a life you love!

The woos and wows of Metabolic Flexibility are no longer a secret! Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews former research biochemist and two-times New York times best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat, Robb Wolf. He is also the host of the Healthy Rebellion Radio, a weekly show featuring listener Q and A on all things diet and health, and serves on the board of Directors/Advisors for Specialty Health Inc, The Chickasaw Nation's "Unconquered Life" initiative and a number of innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability. Robb simplifies anybody's understanding of fitness and health by discussing everything from individual body responses to quantity of carbs taken to a lot of other essentials like maintaining electrolyte balance in the body and having sound sleep. Tune in for you to also get a peek into Robb's personal life and learn from him his extensive understanding of health and fitness! Rob broke the dogma around KETO diets and dove deeper into individual metabolic flexibilities, catering to people's nutrition needs suitably. Apparently Robbs wife has great metabolic flexibility and he understands from her how different it could be for every person as he says his physical self 'sucks' at the same. The fact that some of us are over-doing our fitness practices is also something to take a look at. There's a lot that needs to be thought of other than the social media pleasing and planning! Listen in as the duo also discuss rehydration, recovery and the function of different electrolytes in the body. You'd be surprised to know that you are totally unlikely to die because of consuming less amount of water and the fact that over-consuming the same could have a disastrous impact on your body. Also, sodium is one constituent you undervalue and demonize. Why? Because over-consumption of sodium could perhaps spare you from life threatening illnesses. But when the same is done with Potassium, another bodily electrolyte, the implications are costlier than you can imagine! Rob also has a thing with reading and researching topics other than health and nutrition, like economics and physics. It helps him increase the quality of living and growing as a person. And it would sure help you widen your knowledge levels and perhaps give you some time off of your routine work habits! To conclude, what this episode translates to is simple- metabolic flexibility is real and it's high time you break the myths around the 'perfect' diet because a happy you is a healthy you! Follow Robb @dasrobbwolf Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Learn about the 7-day carb test Robb practises with his clients and how it's helped break the dogma around KETO diets for everybody into it. Metabolic Flexibility is laudable and cool. Your sleep could actually improve if you understand that better. Hydration is water+ sodium and not just water. Lowering sodium consumption does not reduce hypertension though the opposite is true. Also know the importance of another major electrolyte- Mg. Around 650 of your body processes revolve around it! For children and adults aged 20-25, declining sleep could mean recovering less everyday. Sleep helps you recover and detox. Past 30, your metabolism takes a predictable trajectory. You need to learn to flatten the curve. Know the diet special drinks at Robb's. Also know why you should avoid beer and sugary drinks at all times.

With the humongous growth of technology and our constant need for a better lifestyle, we've failed to consider the dangers that lurk behind. You'd be surprised to know that though 5G provides a faster alternative to crawling data services, it is causing a huge exponential increase to your EMF exposure. How do you then adapt to changing times and opt for quality choices? Our guest today knows just how to tune your choices to suit the best. Join Chase on the episode as he interviews Juraj Kocar, CEO at Somavedic Technologies. Somavedic is his dream project for a functional and broadly accessible frequency therapy device meant to harmonize the negative effects of EMF (electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, wifi's, etc). If that sounds interesting, know also that Juraj has tips for aiding your hydration with 'quality' water. Yes. You get to learn today the two kinds of water- structured and unstructured and how the quality of water you consume can enormously affect your body's hydration. The strength of the EMF around us is a billion times higher than it was years ago. Equally intimidating is the fact that our heart and the brain are most vulnerable to its dangers. Not just humans, other beings are equally affected- do you know that plants do not grow when kept in an area where WiFi or such radiations are present? If the negative impacts of exposing ourselves to wireless radiation is this big, why do companies continue to scale and expand the levels of these? How do we hook ourselves out of the negative catch of technology and how can we create a healthier alternative to those? Tune in for an insightful conversation and get yourself matchless words of wisdom from the wonderful entrepreneur guest. In a nutshell, this episode would help you make better choices for a healthier living! Follow Somavedic @somavedic_international Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights 5G has not replaced the old 3G/4G. It has another bandwidth and operates at higher frequencies. This also means it needs more towers to operate- increasing our exposure to radiations! Know what wireless transmission has done to our water bodies. Apart from affecting our hearts and brains, these radiations also cause tiredness, lower our immunity and cause fertility loss in men. Learn all about structured and unstructured water and how unstructured water is converted into structured water. How does EMF act internally?

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase speaks with Laura Poburan on why her role as a mentor in the health and wellness space is more relevant in 2020 than it has ever been. After all, people around the world have been forced to reevaluate their priorities throughout the last several months. On nutrition coaching clients, Laura says, "They're looking for something so much deeper now. They've been forced to look at their lives in a new way. They've been forced to take account of everything in their life that they aren't happy about—everything in life that they're using food to cope with. They're ready for a deeper transformation. They're ready to change who they are as people; not just continue to chase the same arbitrary goals year after year after year." Laura views nutrition coaching as a vehicle to access different parts of her clients' lives—to show them that nutrition is just one small aspect, but one that they can use as a foundation for more powerful, holistic change. She calls our eating patterns "the vehicle into our subconscious" which allows us to see where we are falling into disempowering patterns where we are covering up, or numbing, the things in our lives that we are not happy with. Oftentimes, we use food to do just that, if only because food is so accessible. As the saying goes: A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. This year has placed limiting beliefs on many, or even reinforced limiting beliefs that they already had going into 2020. As much as nutrition coaches may want to swoop in and impose their own beliefs on their clients, they'll quickly find that this approach will backfire. Powerful coaches don't come in to "fix" their clients. Instead, they look to step back and ask questions that raise their clients' awareness until they are finally ready to receive their lessons. It is only when what you have to say is meaningful to a person that they will act on it. Key Highlights Laura shares why "stepping into my zone of genius and creating more space in my life" is her resolution in 2021. 2020 has proven that nutrition coaches need to go beyond their clients' eating habits and toward their core values as individuals. Laura describes how she utilizes "trigger mapping" to uncover how her clients view the world and therefore know how to help them undergo a transformation around how they view food. The coach-client dynamic has also shifted drastically this past year. Laura shares how she had to adapt to challenges to meet the needs of her clients. Effective coaches drop their ego in order to allow their clients to discover their own issues. The importance of empathy and selfless communication are fleshed out. Laura explains her process for helping coaches define their vision-mission and values and in turn establish an effective approach to guiding their clients to reach their goals. Laura talks about how striving for alignment of the tiniest things is her key to living a life ever forward.

He draws a parallel between success as an author to success in the military—or, really, success in any endeavor. He refers to this common thread as the monotony of "doing a lot of stupid, simple things that nobody else is willing to do" each and every day "The road to success", he says, is "boring"; otherwise, it would not be so elusive to most. Chase and Thom break the lessons of the book down to the five pillars of health, wealth, relationships, learning, and spirituality. A particular emphasis is put on the spiritual only because it is a rare thing to hear someone in the military discuss this often overlooked dimension of life. In fact, he notes that life begins and ends with the spiritual and refers to our very being as our vessel for making anything that we want to happen, happen. Thom also spends a considerable amount of time speaking on the paramount importance of relationships and how everything simply falls apart without them. Your physical health, your ability to learn, and your financial situation will suffer when your relationship with someone close to you such as your spouse is in dire straits. Thom mentions that he would even kick out members of his SEAL team if he found out that their spouse was cheating on them. "They would get us killed," he says about those SEALS experiencing the mental and emotional pitfalls of a damaged relationship. The theme of the monotony of success continues to run through Thom's best practices for maximizing your health, wealth, and learning capacities. Progress in these areas requires a commitment from you to do the smallest of action steps every single day; nothing more, nothing less. "If you realize it's stale," says Thom, "you're gonna win." Key Highlights Chase and Thom share their thoughts on the "monotony of success" and how anyone can discipline themselves (if they decide to) to endure the day-by-day tasks that will eventually bring their goals to fruition. Thom says that spirituality is "your ability to make ripples across time, space, and distance." He explains how to use your five senses to activate your spiritual awareness, as well as why he advocates that everyone brush their skin every morning and evening. Thom goes into why the physical, intellectual, and wealth factors of life cannot exist together without relationships. The three ways to learn Learn something new Get better at something that you've already learned Let yourself dream - Thom dives deep into these three ways and why he describes dreaming as "strategic learning". Asked about the final pillar, wealth, Thom goes into how the other four columns play a role into how much (or how little) compensation you receive in the pursuit of what you value. Thom hearkens back to the SEALs' saying that "the only easy day was yesterday" as he explains how he lives a life ever forward.

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase speaks with Drew Manning on his second iteration of Fit2Fat2Fit. Drew embarked on another Fit2Fat2Fit journey in 2020, nine years after his first run back in 2011. He shares how humbled he was during that first experiment and how it nurtured in him something that motivated him to take on this journey one more time: empathy. "Empathy is something that is lacking in the fitness industry," he says. "But this world lacks empathy as well." With all the divisiveness that took place in 2020, Drew thought the time was ripe to relive Fit2Fat2Fit, not just to shine an inspiring light in the midst of all the chaos this year has brought, but also because there are even more opportunities on social media to get eyes on the project now compared to nine years ago. "Sometimes, I think it takes something crazy to catch people's attention and motivate them in a different and unique way that they haven't ever experienced before." Drew's ultimate goal is to bring more empathy to the industry and to society as a whole. He says: "I feel like doing it a second time can really disrupt the industry by showing that it's more of a mental and emotional journey for people who struggle with weight loss." Key Highlights Drew explains how he prepared his family, mentally and emotionally, for his 2020 Fit2Fat2Fit journey, and why this second run is harder than the first. With the intention of making this journey more educational the second time around, Drew decided to regularly track his biomarkers (ex. heart rate, blood sugar, etc.). He goes into the thought process behind his decision. It was obviously much riskier in 2020 for Drew to let himself become as unhealthy as he let himself be. He shares how he set safety precautions for himself amid COVID season. Why did Drew decide on this particular outlandish, risky gesture as his vehicle for disrupting the fitness industry? Drew's advice for someone who is unhealthy to take their first step in the right direction.

Mindset is essentially who we are. What we think, why we think and how we think define our daily wellbeing. They are of such importance that science and researches are constantly coming up with new information about the way our brain functions. But, what can we do to shift our mindset once we see a negative pattern happening? In which way we can impact and influence our behavior to match the positive life we know we can live? In this episode, Robyn Downs discusses some of the most important actions we can take to start feeling good. "When you feel good you can do the things that really matter in your life and then impact the world." – Robyn Downs You will also learn about habit changing and the reasons why is easier to change ourselves than to expect different outcomes, how you can set goals for the next year in a more sustainable and attainable way (that actually works), and what are the 3 non-changing brain patterns that we need to be aware of in order to uncomplicate life and instigate success. Our ways of thinking end up being just little pieces that we, as rational individuals, must gather to solve the whole puzzle.

2020 year-in-review... relationship style! My wife and I look back at lessons learned over the past twelve months. See, for us, 2020 began as a year with a ton of potential, until about mid-February when practically the whole world came to a grinding halt. Career-wise, we continued to work towards a ton of growth, especially May who finally graduated this year to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. What was highlighted for us above all, though, is how our relationship was tempered by the challenges and uncertainties and came out stronger than ever in spite of it all. Join us as we do a deep dive into the life-changing benefits of what a great support system feels like and why you need to nurture yours today. Listen in as we share how optimism and a willingness to pivot helped us thrive the past year, the power of having a tight network of family and peers to guide us through tough times, and our plea for others to engage with their community more going into 2021.

In this episode I had the honor of speaking with Shawn Stevenson, creator and host of The Model Health Show, which was featured as the number one health podcast in the United States with millions of listener downloads each year. With the myriad of challenges we've all faced this year thanks to COVID-19, there's a greater need than ever before to return to the basics of health and wellness, particularly regarding what we eat on a day-to-day basis. We discuss how food affects so many different areas of our lives. Beyond metabolism, food affects our relationships, our ability to communicate, how we perform in our professional environments, and other facets of life that we normally don't even connect to food. In short, we have a conversation on the most fundamental must-knows that we can use to truly take our health back. Listen in as Shawn shares how eating the right foods can totally transform your body and mind, why he considers sleep as the most important factor to one's health (even above nutrition and exercise), common nutrition myths, why you need to pay more attention to your gut health if you want to burn more body fat, why it's time to cease the "war on fat", and what most people fail to see when it comes to maximizing your health and wellness amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Facing problems in life is part of being a human. Finding purpose out of these problems requires much more perspective and attitude. Overcoming obstacles is not always easy but is doable, but what could we possibly think when these obstacles never seem to be over? In this episode, Sam Tooley shares some special and honest stories of his past and how he was able to channel bad experiences into action and transformation. Losing someone we love, dealing with depression or anxiety, not knowing what path to follow… These are all barriers that life throws at us. When something similar happens, we have a choice: we could give up, surrender, and go down the rabbit hole. Or we could accept it, believe that this event happened for a reason, and in the end, rise stronger and more resilient.

It was exciting and fun, and I learned a lot. Then when I was switching funds and I had to sit out my non-compete clause, I started getting involved in some entrepreneurial stuff and one thing led to another. One of the ideas I had was Forme, and I started to get really excited about it, and it got to the point where it became the only thing I was doing. I moved back to California, which is where I was raised. I spent time in San Francisco, which is where a lot of our engineers are, and in LA, which is where all of our business and content and marketing is based. It's a super exciting time to now be public with it after four years and I'm excited for consumers to be able to experience what we've created."
