After celebrating my 150th podcast episode milestone, I'm diving deep into my transformative experience with a three-day nutritionally supported fast. This isn't your typical starvation cleanse – it's a science-backed approach that delivered surprising benefits beyond just weight loss.I walk you through the fascinating day-by-day breakdown of what happens when your body transitions from using stored carbs to burning fat for fuel. Day one brings the initial adjustment period, where your body questions this new approach. By day two, ketosis kicks in, creating a cleaner energy source while autophagy – your body's natural cellular cleaning process – begins rejuvenating your systems from within. The final day brings deep fat burning and gives your digestive system a well-deserved break, optimizing future nutrient absorption.The results? Four pounds and five inches lost, but more importantly – renewed energy, mental clarity, and that empowering feeling of accomplishing something meaningful for your health. Throughout this process, I maintained proper nutrition with protein intake (about 100g daily) through collagen and whey supplements, along with bone broth – making this a sustainable approach rather than a punishing ordeal.Feeling inspired by my results, I've created the "3 Plus 30" program combining this initial three-day reset with a comprehensive 30-day follow-up focused on gut healing, strategic movement, targeted supplements, and supportive coaching. If you're feeling stuck, bloated, or just not yourself, I'd love to chat about whether this approach might work for you.

LEARN MORE: Charity for First Responders - Answering the Call 911Nothing prepares you for the moment when your everyday heroes need heroes of their own. When Ronnie Doumitt watched his police colleague and friend Josh contract a flesh-eating bacteria that nearly claimed his life, he discovered a shocking truth: despite swearing an oath to protect our communities, first responders have virtually no safety net when catastrophe strikes their own lives.What followed was a harrowing four-month journey that changed everything. As Josh underwent 27 surgeries and repeatedly "died on the operating table," Ronnie witnessed his friend's wife Melissa balance hospital vigils with homework help for their children, all while facing potential financial ruin. The community rallied, raising $100,000 to save Josh's life—but the experience revealed a systemic failure that Ronnie couldn't ignore.From this crisis emerged Answering the Call, a nonprofit that has since donated over $1.4 million to first responders facing medical emergencies both on and off duty. Through whiskey raffles, ladies' nights, trivia events, and their upcoming Resiliency Gala, they've created a powerful safety net for those who protect us every day."It's our duty to lighten their load," Ronnie explains with palpable emotion. "I want to give it back to you because it's extremely heavy. It's a heavy damn pack. But let me lighten your load for just a little bit."The most powerful part? How little it takes to make a difference. Through their 9-11 program, community members donate just $9.11 monthly—less than a fancy coffee—creating sustainable support that allows injured first responders to focus solely on healing.Ready to answer the call for those who always answer yours? Visit act911.org to donate or learn about upcoming events. Because without the safety and security first responders provide, nothing else matters—and it's time we showed up for them the way they always show up for us.Support the showThanks so much for listening!

Find Trey on IG: @twuestrengthEver feel like health and fitness advice has become needlessly complex? Meet Trey Worcester, a college football player and biology student who's cutting through the noise with refreshingly simple wellness wisdom."If an animal wouldn't eat it in the wild, I'm not going to eat it," says Worcester, summarizing his straightforward nutrition philosophy that eliminates the need for complicated diet rules. As a senior at Pittsburgh State University balancing academics and athletics, he's developed practical approaches to health that don't require expensive equipment, supplements, or rigid programs.Worcester shares his evolution from focusing solely on getting stronger to developing a more comprehensive training philosophy: "I just want to be hard to kill." This means prioritizing mobility alongside strength, incorporating varied movement patterns, and training for resilience rather than just aesthetics. His approach represents a growing awareness among fitness enthusiasts that longevity matters as much as short-term gains.What stands out most about Worcester's perspective is his emphasis on free, accessible wellness tools everyone can use. Sleep optimization, spending time in nature, walking barefoot on grass (grounding), and simply moving more throughout the day form the foundation of his recovery protocol. "None of this stuff costs money," he reminds listeners, challenging the notion that good health requires expensive interventions.For those feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health information, Worcester offers practical advice: utilize free resources like scientific databases, ask better questions, and most importantly—take action. "Even if you don't know exactly what to do, just do something," he encourages, emphasizing that progress comes from consistent experimentation rather than perfect planning.Ready to simplify your approach to wellness?

Have you ever experienced that magical feeling when everything just clicks? When energy, focus, and joy align perfectly, creating a sense of effortless flow? That's exactly where I am right now, and it feels incredible.What makes this particularly meaningful is that not long ago, I had resigned myself to a "new normal" of fatigue, brain fog, and discomfort that I attributed to age and hormonal changes. I thought these limitations were simply my fate. The remarkable turnaround I've experienced proves otherwise, and I'm bursting with excitement to share this transformation with you.My renewed energy is spilling over into every area of my life—from teaching more challenging fitness classes (my poor 6am students can attest to this!) to making significant progress on upcoming retreats, courses, and challenges.

These fill quickly, so keep an eye on my newsletter for details!I'm also inviting you to join our April push-up challenge: 11 push-ups daily for 30 days.

You'll be amazed at your progress after 30 consistent days.As we approach my 150th episode milestone next week (with special giveaways planned!), I'm filled with gratitude for this community.

Ever wonder what makes some healthcare providers stand out from the rest? Reid Williams and Michael Allison from Fit Muscle & Joint reveal the philosophy that's transforming patient care in the rehabilitation world. These passionate young chiropractors share what drew them to the profession—personal experiences with injuries and rehabilitation that showed them the profound impact of hands-on care and active treatment approaches.What strikes you immediately is their commitment to spending quality time with patients. While many practices rush through appointments, Reid and Michael detail how their hour-long initial consultations and 30-minute follow-ups allow them to truly understand each person's unique situation. "We're never going to force you to do something you're not comfortable with," Reid explains, highlighting their patient-centered approach that builds trust through education and transparency.The conversation explores how modern chiropractic care extends far beyond traditional adjustments. Both practitioners emphasize finding the root cause of pain rather than just treating symptoms. They discuss the collaborative environment at their multidisciplinary practice, where chiropractors work alongside physical therapists and occupational therapists to provide comprehensive care. This team approach means patients receive consistent treatment regardless of which provider they see—a refreshing alternative to siloed healthcare.Perhaps most compelling is their ultimate goal: patient independence. Rather than creating dependence on ongoing care, they aim to equip people with the knowledge and tools to maintain their own health. They share practical advice everyone can use—from essential stretches that counteract our sedentary lifestyles to the importance of aerobic exercise for tissue healing. Whether you're dealing with pain, curious about chiropractic care, or simply interested in taking better care of your body, this conversation offers valuable insights from practitioners who genuinely want to help people feel better and stay well.Ready to learn more or find care?

Click here to book your massage with Amanda!!Robin Hackney welcomes massage therapist Amanda Honsinger to a conversation that might forever change how you think about bodywork and healing. What begins as a simple introduction to a local practitioner quickly transforms into a profound exploration of how our bodies hold onto pain—and how the right approach can release it.Amanda brings 25 years of experience and a uniquely comprehensive approach to massage therapy. She specializes in fascia work, addressing the connective tissue network that, when congested or stuck, creates cascading pain throughout the body. "It's like a netting over your whole system," Amanda explains. "If it gets stuck up here in the shoulder, it's going to pull on all of the fascia system," causing seemingly unrelated pain elsewhere.The conversation takes a powerful turn when Amanda reveals that approximately 90% of her clients have experienced trauma that manifests physically. This revelation led her to expand her practice beyond physical techniques into craniosacral therapy and trauma-informed care, addressing both body and nervous system simultaneously.Robin's personal testimonial provides compelling evidence of Amanda's exceptional abilities. After just one session, movements that had caused Robin consistent pain suddenly became pain-free, bringing her to tears. "She took pain away that I've had for so long," Robin shares, underscoring the transformative potential of skilled bodywork.What truly sets Amanda apart is her commitment to customization—she listens deeply and adapts her approach to each client's specific needs rather than providing generic treatments. "Deep tissue doesn't mean deep pressure," she notes, explaining how technique matters more than force in creating lasting change.Ready to experience relief from chronic pain or discover what your body has been trying to tell you? Amanda is offering podcast listeners a bonus 10 minutes on their first session when mentioning Spandex and Wine. Because as Robin so powerfully states, "Body work is not a treat. It is a tool to help keep you healthy and happy."Support the showThanks so much for listening! Get all the info here: LinkTreeInstagram & Facebook: @spandexandwineWeb Site: www.spandexandwine.com

What happens when an athlete's passion for sports transforms into a mission to develop the next generation? In this captivating conversation, Tyler Disney shares his remarkable journey from college football player to Director of Athletic Performance at Home Field KC, where he's now shaping the athletic futures of over 6,000 young athletes.Tyler's story begins with a moment of clarity while wearing a hazmat suit cleaning trucks—this wasn't the life he was meant for. After playing football at Pittsburg State and earning his exercise science degree, he found his calling in athletic development through a series of pivotal encounters and what he calls "God winks." Today, he leads a comprehensive sports performance organization that serves athletes across baseball, basketball, volleyball, softball, and football.Beyond the impressive facilities—which include multiple courts, fields, and even a restaurant—what truly sets Home Field KC apart is their holistic approach to athlete development. Tyler shares their innovative "nutrition fast facts" system that teaches young athletes the crucial difference between "fun foods" and "fuel foods" without creating negative relationships with eating. This blend of physical training and life skills development creates transformational experiences that extend far beyond sports.The conversation reveals fascinating insights into how Tyler builds community through fitness, including their "108" workout group with its notorious "Skippy jar" punishment wheel (imagine eating 21 pancakes at IHOP as a consequence for missing workouts!). These accountability systems create bonds among athletes while keeping training engaging and meaningful.With ambitious plans to franchise their model to other cities and a commitment to economic development through strategic partnerships, Home Field KC represents the future of athletic development—where physical performance, nutrition education, and character building combine to create not just better athletes, but better people.Ready to discover how modern sports training can transform young lives?
