Ep 106 Primal Living ft. Blake Bowman with Guerrillazen Fitness

04/15/20 • 57 min

We are advancing leaps and bounds technologically and finding ways to do “more” with less time, but are we compromising our well-being?

Have we lost a sense of what nourishes our body and mind and truly makes us feel good?

What do we really need to live well, be healthy and enjoy quality of life?

It's time to take a step back, unplug and ask how we can maximize our health and quality of living without having to spend a fortune or sacrifice what we enjoy.

A newly adopted lifestyle that many call 'Primal' simply means reconnecting with the earth, focusing on what it provides, and tapping in on certain 'primal' elements for optimal living.

On today's very special episode, host Brian Klepacki sat down with Blake Bowman of Guerrillazen Fitness & Holistic Nutritionist Bryan Hardy and all things primal were discussed. From what to eat and drink when we wake up to how we approach exercise and our sleep.

Listen in to this educational and eye-opening conversation and start learning how you can become a healthier, happier person by starting some simple primal living techniques today.

"I'm 21 years old and I feel like an 80-year-old man. I basically started to take control into my own hands and figure out how to fix myself." -Blake Bowman

Ep 105 Finding Peace in a Crisis ft. Joe Walser

Send us a text

No matter where we turn or which way we look, it seems chaos is right there looking straight as us. But hope is here and peace can be found in the midst of it all.

We are in a peculiar time right now and we all are in desperate need of community, confidence and a cure.

Finding and knowing peace in a middle of a crisis is just one personal decision away.

As we try to adjust to new and stronger restrictions due to the growing pandemic it's extremely important that we internalize what's going on and ask ourselves the tough questions we often avoid.

What is this all about? What's next? What if things get worse?

Tune in to today's episode as Strong By Design Co-host Brian Klepacki sits down with his neighbor and friend, Joe Walser, as they talk about a peace that surpasses all understanding.

We encourage you to listen in on this life-changing episode as you will discover a peace that will crush any doubt or fear in an instant and it's here for you right now.

"Where is God? The reality of death, it's always been there. Now that it's right in our face, we're having to ask these questions." -Joe Walser

Ep 107 Turn ON Your Body's Ability to Heal Itself ft. Dr Lisa Fortin

Send us a text

After completing her undergraduate studies summa cum laude in Biotechnology at Ferris State University, Dr. Fortin spent a year working in neurosurgery research at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and became a published researcher.

She developed a strong foundation regarding the most intricate processes of the human body at the cellular level and went on to earn her medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit.

Providing relief from pain and treatment for chronic conditions requires an advanced regenerative approach to medicine. Patients in Petoskey, Michigan, trust regenerative medicine specialist Lisa Fortin, MD, of ReYouvenate for the treatment of a variety of health conditions. Her practice proudly serves patients near Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Bay Harbor, Michigan.

What is Regenerative Medicine? Is this where medicine is going? Who can it benefit and why or should we even, be paying more attention to what this type of medicine can do?

Coach Tonya had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Dr. Fortin who runs the ReYouventate Clinic in Petosky, Michigan to talk more about regenerative medicine and what kind of impact this type of therapy can have on healing and disease prevention.

"On average your whole body is almost renewed in six to seven years." -Dr Lisa Fortin
