Episode 274 - Rachel Lavin - Author of The Doughnut Diaries/Personal Trainer/Certified Life Coach 

“I turned 40…I was so tired of being unfulfilled…Whatever the “new thing” was, I tried it…Any diet is a repackaged restriction…” 

“It’s never too late to be happy. 

What is a “doughnut diary?” In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Rachel Lavin explains exactly what led her to write, The Doughnut Diaries: A Personal Trainer’s Tale of Being Every Size from 12 Through 0! After over twenty years as a fitness professional, Rachel is finally breaking her silence about how her love-hate relationship with doughnuts led to a life-changing epiphany. While Rachel does NOT promote the overindulgence of the sweet treat, she does promote the power of loving yourself in order to stop the “madness of dieting, restricting foods, or using exercise to make yourself smaller.” Get ready for a glimpse into what your life could look like once you stop hating your body and realizing that you are not alone.

“The fulfillment in your life has to come from somewhere…be honest…”

“You get better at a job by what happens outside the job…learning, following-up...” - Paul Landini

 

While spring is making its first appearances at the Jersey shore for the Two Fit Crazies, just outside of Toronto the weather remains freezing for today’s guest, Paul Landini. In this episode, Paul, a Canadian rockstar personal trainer, writer, and fitness educator, shares his journey from “quitting his job and going all in” to following his passion for fitness and starting his own company. With a background in journalism and a desire to change lives, Paul discusses how he combined his love of writing and his love of personal training to create the fitness business of his dreams! Listen closely as Paul reveals how writing weekly blogs and authoring articles for the Globe and Mail, one of Canada’s leading newspapers, allowed him the exposure and credibility needed to grow his client base and increase client retention. Regardless of your profession, Paul knows that “fulfillment in your life has to come from somewhere,” and until you find what “fills your cup,” you will miss the most important things in life.

Carlee Hayes, RDN - Lead Dietician for NutriSense - Episode 237

Episode 237 - Carlee Hayes, RDN - Lead Dietician for NutriSense

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who specializes in bariatric nutrition therapy and weight loss. She graduated from Western Illinois University and has worked as a nutritionist at MultiCare Health Systems and Veterans Affairs.

 

“I’m focused on data over dogma!”

“…80% of chronic conditions can be prevented or delayed…”

-Carlee Hayes

                          

In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine have an awesome conversation with Carlee Hayes. Joining the show from Washington state, Carlee discusses how her frustration with the reactive world of nutrition and medicine lead her to join forces with a start-up tech company called NutriSense. Carlee, who currently serves as the company’s lead registered dietitian nutritionist, delves into the fascinating new world of wearables that she believes are key to improving metabolic health. “Continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, is a 14-day patch that attaches to the back of your arm. It relays 24/7 data about your glucose levels to an APP on your phone.”  Carlee also discusses how this new technology developed by NutriSense may be the key to prevent or even delay the onset of various chronic conditions that are linked to the body’s inability to regulate glucose levels. And if that’s not enough, listen up athletes and runners!  You are going to fall in love with this new wearable that can help to track glucose levels to determine your individualized plan for optimal hydration and nutrition for all your future adventures! Let’s use data over dogma and take control over our health!

Welcome to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, a show that Brian now feels he can cut the recording on Christine if he does not like her introductory remarks. Aside from a small on-air tiff between the two crazies, today’s episode is “off the hook!” Joining the show from Long Island, Gail Bannister-Munn, Long Island fitness legend, educator, creator of the Bannister Method and the Long Island Fitness Network Group, and flexibility specialist for professional athletes, talks about how she was able to build a strong network and reputation in the fitness industry.

And if you were wondering, Gail was an exceptionally talented runner in her day who just happens to hail from a some very decorated Bannisters, including distant uncle Sir Roger, the first man to run a mile in under 4 minutes and one super-fast nephew, Olympic Gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz Jr.

 

From training the JETS to being flown around-the-country to work with top NBA players, Gail has made quite a name for herself as a flexibility specialist. I guarantee you will have a few laughs listening to Gail share some of her crazy stories of working with pro-athletes and beyond!

In Episode 187, the Two Fit Crazies continue their streak of amazing Canadian health and wellness rock stars with the co-owner of Urban Poling, Diana Oliver. Joining the show from Ontario, Diana reveals the powerful fitness and rehabilitation benefits from Urban Poling, most known as “Nordic walking.” First developed by occupational therapist and gerontologist, Mandy Shintani, Urban Poling was born from her avid desire to promote life-long fitness, active living, and her passion for the outdoors. As Diana explains, Urban Poling is not only for the fitness enthusiast who is looking for a more intense walking workout, but also for rehabilitation programs that are suitable for the arthritic population, cardiac rehab, pre/post hip or knee surgeries, balance issues, and more. Diana also shares her personal story of how she used Urban Poling to help rehabilitate a life-threatening heart condition after giving birth to her second child. You are going to be blown away by the endless benefits of incorporating Urban Poling into your life. Not only does it activate 90% of the muscles in your body, but you will burn over 20% more calories than traditional walking.

The Two Fit Crazies cannot wait to start Urban Poling! We are all in and we know that you will be too!

Enjoy!
