00:56

about six months ago left Portland and moved down to Sonoma County, California for a job opportunity to kind of step up what I'm doing in the rehab world going from part-time as a physical therapist to the director of Rehab at a clinic that focuses on kind of acute care, geriatrics.

05:07

How, you know, problems aren't usually formed in isolation or solved in isolation. So, it takes people with different perspectives coming together to, to, to either solve problems or even to figure out what the problem is.

08:13

And over the course of the last six years, I can't believe it's been six years almost since I went on that retreat. I've really started to not only embody the power of, you know, what that five days away did for my entire life.

13:25

You know, I talk all the time about the four cornerstones of fitness, these principles, if you will, of what it takes to truly make a lifestyle change, to get off that Yoyo dieting cycle, to actually change the neuro pathways in your brain.

16:00

Well, there's a quote I love and it's really simple. It's happiness is reality minus expectations. So how can you enjoy where you are and what you're doing? And I think part of that is, you know, no one's ever going to be able to stop thinking about the future and thinking about the past.

In this exciting episode the best addiction specialists, Dr. Adi Jaffe and I are digging our heals into ending the shame and embarrassment related to reliance on sugar, refined carbs and alcohol.

6:43

I went and got my masters at Cal State in Long Beach and then my Phd at UCLA and psychology and neuroscience and psychology and not in statistics and you know, continued to the point where I am now where I started a company called ignited that has sensory self help and addiction specific courses and workshops.

7:38

It's going to be more work for others, for some than others, might be more complex, might be more healing work from some of our traumas that we experienced, you know, certainly the move that you made, a new culture, new school system, all those things, right? Those are, those are going to have a big impact on the brain.

17:17

The tool that you found was now causing you problems, but you can't remove the tool because it's still helping deal with that core initial issue that you had.

18:12

So, I created an online program. I call it Ignited Hero and Ignited because that's the name of the company, but also our goal is to ignite people's passion and get people motivated and driven to a new kind of life just like what happened in my own life.

22:37

I love that and I want to get into kind of the nuances of the program a little bit more, but I want to get in the head of my listener right now. That is, that's actually asking themselves, okay, we've got the thought patterns, right? We've got those beliefs that have been ingrained in us and I talked a lot about that.

I'm a doctor, a medical doctor specializing in dermatology and I have always had an interest in nutrition. my passion is people who have autoimmune diseases of the skin. So we're talking psoriasis and Lupus especially. And my interest is in how to help them from a lifestyle and nutritional perspective.

7:08

I was on a trip to Japan and friend of mine took me to a restaurant, a Buddhist Vegan restaurant outside of the city of Kyoto and I was served this bowl of noodles and they told me that it had virtually no calories and no carbohydrates and I just immediately thought, my goodness, you know, I couldn't believe it at first.

10:44

So what's amazing about that is that you're getting mostly water when you when you eat the noodles. It's 97 percent water but you're getting a really potent soluble fiber that also acts as a prebiotic fiber. It's ground into a flour and then mixed with water.

17:41

I'll start just by saying that people have intolerances to all kinds of different foods and we could spend hours going on why that may be, but I think everyone owes it to themselves even if they don't have an autoimmune disease to go on some sort of elimination diet because a lot of times people are in a situation where they, they feel fine, you know, but they don't know that they're missing out on another level of feeling good. They just have accepted that this is sort of, I feel good. They sleep decently,  everything about their lives in terms of how they feel about their own health seems fine, but often times when you get someone with just some minor complaints about something and you put them on an elimination diet, you know, no wheat, no grains, no sugar, no dairy, especially the dairy component, they start to feel so much better.

22:29

So pressure cooking gets rid of the lectins as well as the lectins that are found in nightshade plants. So nightshades are tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, so if you pressure cook them, it gets rid of this chemical that can irritate your gut and that can lead to some autoimmune types of things that, that can happen.

28:34

It's one of the most empowering things I've ever seen because they realize that they become their own authority in their own health, which is really what we are. We're born to be our own authorities in health. Yes, doctors are important and health advice is important, but those are just experts that people should be consulting. When it comes to making those decisions for yourself, you, you're responsible for those decisions.

32:26

These perceptions that we have about challenges or obstacles are really these beautiful opportunities to just show up as the authority on our health. I absolutely love that quote. How empowering is that?

I have Christa Black Gifford with me on this episode of Thriving Beyond Belief, and I could not be more thrilled!

Christa is an author, wife, and mother who shows true vulnerability in all areas of her life.

On this episode, we talk through trauma, performance, loss, reconciliation, hope, and who God is in the midst of all of those things.

Going through trauma at an early age, Christa discusses constant coping from that as she grew up. She tried to find identity in what she could control, and how that manifested itself in her life.

We talk about pain and how our natural inclination is to avoid pain at all costs. We have confused God's peace with being comfortable. We discuss wounds and the roots of our pasts that affect our actions. But we talk about how God's goodness is not that we have an easy life, but rather it is that our lives are reconciled to Him.

Christa talks about walking through some difficult life issues and how she has shifted her thinking from "this is happening to me" to "this is happening for me". It is that shift to see every story can be used and redeemed by the Lord. We discuss what trauma even does to us physically and when you come face-to-face with the trials in your life, it leads to healing.

It was amazing to hear Christa speak of the hope of Jesus in her life. How He has revealed Himself to her in several ways. She discusses those methods of seeing Christ and restoring herself back to His purpose.

I hope you take a listen to this woman's amazing journey, and how God is redeeming all of us.

Oh my goodness! It's the 100th episode of the Fitlandia Podcast and we have none other than Steph Gaudreau with us to help you break negative self-talk and excuse making. I just know 2019 will be your healthiest yet with the tips Steph and I have for you.

Highlights

1:28

I've always been a very wear my heart on my sleeve kind of person. I'm very empathic. I can't hide my emotions or my feelings for anyone. And the more I do this work, the more I think that that's what I'm called to do. Like, I always want to make sure there's something teachable and I don't want to just dump my problems on people, but at the same time I feel like we have to get better  not only a fitness community, but a wellness community and as a human community with talking about the things that we have stuffed away for so long.

3:55

I feel like everybody sort of has their story of where they came from and what their transformation was. And for me, I battled negative body image and negative self talk. It still happens. It's changed quite a bit and it's much more fewer and far between than it used to be.

7:31

Humans being human is about belonging and so we want to fit in, we want to belong. But I always just find that very interesting that the thing that I grew up my whole life hating as the thing that people remember about me.

9:16

For me, endurance sports ended up becoming a way to literally kind of run away from my problems and numb myself to the pain of what I was going through.

11:53

Being able to focus not exclusively on the size of my body, but what my body could do physically in the gym, feeling better, getting more sleep. I mean, these sound like such basic things, but you know, as somebody who basically relied on sugar to get through the day and caffeine all hours of the day. That made a huge difference in how I felt.

20:05

I think we believe that in order to make progress, lose the weight, get fitter, get the new job, whatever it is, we have to beat ourselves up to make it happen. And this concept of kindness to self and self compassion is very foreign to people.

26:44

I love this idea of being present and learning to love the process. Because if you can love the process than the outcome becomes much less important because all you really care about is that, that beautiful boost of energy and strength and confidence that you get anytime you're fueling your body properly or exercising and moving and connecting with community and catching your negative thoughts and reframing them them when you can for sure.

34:54

If you're not clear as to what your values are, what's very important to you, it's much easier to let those other things that don't necessarily matter come up and get in your way.

Welcome to episode #98 of the Fitlandia Podcast. Today my guest is Frank Gjata from Conscious Ink founded in Bend, Oregon. Today, we are going to talk about why manifesting your dream life by aligning your true self is important for your building a positive mindset.

Highlights

8:28

It's one of the things I say when we do this practice of reframing negative thoughts into positive is that you don't have to believe the statement, but imagine what it would feel like the emotions that would come up if you believed it fully and completely.

15:02

And so the invitation again is just to allow those feelings to breathe and allow them to go through. Now you're making a big shift right then and there and it will open up space for the new thought pattern to be put in.

20:27

Take three deep breaths and just literally imagine like this elevator coming out of your mind and but down below your throw and literally into other parts of your body and just start to notice what you feel like.

30:44

It's just setting you up to have you listen and make a choice that is a much more enjoyable choice, which is living in alignment of your true self, not your false self, not the one that is made up of these old behaviors and habitual patterns and you know, negative identities.

Welcome to episode #97 of the Fitlandia Podcast. Today my guests are Erin Moone and Dionne Del Carlo from Starcycle, founded right here in Portland, Oregon. Today, the three of us are going to talk about why taking a break from tech is so important for your mind.

Highlights:

10:17

…this sense of urgency that we all have that is really inflated and exaggerated and not real. So it’s giving ourselves permission to say that’s going to wait. We’re not brain surgeons.

12:24

I know for myself I will eat quickly and not really taste what I’m eating and just getting it down and onto the next thing, but if I put my phone away, engage in conversation, listen to the laughter, then I’m taking in all those senses and actually tasting my food. It does taste better because I’m paying attention.

13:30

So related to the classes we run, our bodies are physically moving quickly and we’re working really hard and our heart rates are up. But because we’re disconnecting from any distractions, we’re able to have that meditative state where you really can acknowledge your thoughts and acknowledge how you’re feeling. You can feel your body where we’re working, what we’re doing and you’re just so much more present, rather than just looking at a number on the bike and trying to beat this number that somebody programmed into the bike. That really doesn’t mean anything to you personally, right?

28:04

I know for me I have two kids and we try to have dinner together every night. And then we put our phones away and close down technology and engage in conversation.  So it’s easier now for us to put our phones away at night and we’re also empowering them to make these positive choices. We’re teaching them how to run a business, teaching them how to manage people, teaching them how to show up and be responsible.
