    About this Episode

    Hello M3 Family! In this solo episode, I share my expertise on Stronglifting and how weight training has completely reshaped my body’s composition. To “recomp” your body means to change the components of lean mass and fat mass in the body. I explain  the 8 main lifts that my coach, Bret Contreras, has developed into the core exercises of Stronglifting. I also explain the 6 main lifts we use to compete and strive for personal records (PRs) in our training. Focusing on these 6 lifts (really 8 movement patterns) are the ultimate method toward reshaping the body, building muscle, and increasing your metabolism. This method has allowed me more food freedom and flexibility in my lifestyle. But I want you to remember that the key factor for reshaping your body stems from your nutrition and consuming more nutrients to help you build the body of your dreams.

    The main lifts are:
    1.Hip Thrust
    2. Squat
    3. Deadlift
    4. Military Press
    5. Bench
    6. Chin Up

    The key factors to body recomposition are:
    1. Nutrient Dense Food = The goal is to consume more nutrients rather than less calories. Especially more protein and fiber.
    2. Stronglifting = Strategic strength training with progressive overload, as opposed to just working out.
    3. Cardiovascular Training = Cardio is a bonus or catalyst to fat loss , but will not serve you composition benefits if you cannot control your appetite. This needs to be done with slow progressive time and intensity similar to changing your body’s daily calorie allowance.

    Episode 93: Say "Yes" To Adventure

    In this solo episode, I share my current travel experiences in Sumbawa, Indonesia. It has been such an epic experience so far, being able to say "yes" to adventure. I've been learning to trust myself more, to pour my trust into others, and to learn how to go with the flow instead of how we think life should go. If there is anything trip has shown me so far, it's that life does not always go the way we expect it to and to follow the flow with what feels most in alignment. Intuition is a beautiful navigator and we need to listen to our gut instinct when listening to our intuition.

    Episode 90: Intimacy and Relationships for A Better Sex Life with Dr. Luz Maria Villanueva

    Episode 90: Intimacy and Relationships for A Better Sex Life with Dr. Luz Maria Villanueva

    In this interview episode, I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Luz Maria Villanueva to talk about all things connection, love, and intimacy. Dr. Luz is a life, sex, and intimacy coach, psychologist, sex educator, keynote speaker, and fellow retreat host. She is currently in training to be a  tantra sexologist. People who practice Buddhist and Hindu meditation may also practice tantric sex as a way to “weave” the physical with the spiritual.

    It was eye-opening to learn about connection and communication as a way to enhance our intimacy levels with ourselves and with our partners. The importance of giving one another a safe space to be fully intimate and the need for building trust in a relationship with both ourselves and with others. Dr. Luz will be releasing her book, "Let's Talk Sex & Money," here in the next couple of weeks. So be sure to get your hands on this if you are looking to better yourself in both intimacy and finances. If you are looking to dive deeper into these practices and rediscover your power, beauty, and freedom, Dr. Luz will also be leading a "Discover The Goddess" retreat in Costa Rica this July.

    Episode 88: Love Is Our Greatest Motivator

    In this solo episode, I share my expression of love for self and love for others around me in celebration of Valentine's Day while in Bali, Indonesia.

    Rather than using negative reinforcement to motivate someone (possibly through the form of fear or punishment), lead with example in the form of love and positive reinforcement. Wishing you all a great day spent with loved ones and in loving yourself.  ♥️

His childhood is full of life lessons early on that lead him to his success today. He understands how to navigate chaos and turn it into bliss. It is his work ethic and care towards his clients that keeps his demand high.

    Reagan explains the importance of showing up to market yourself both online and in a brick and mortar for your business. But in today’s world, it’s more than just sharing your business. It’s also about sharing personal aspects of your life that create rapport and relationships with new and existing clients. It’s about showing the realness of it all and the steps that took your from point A to point B. Set the example and lead by that example consistently, day in and day out.
