In Episode 179, the Two Fit Crazies have an awesome conversation with an immensely energetic and passionate man by the name of Dean D. MacInnis. Joining the show from Oregon, Dean discusses how experiencing an “epiphany at the age of 35 that kicked him in the face” led to the creation of his own consulting business and a podcast. After a highly successful 12-year career as a corporate consultant and wellness executive, Dean shares his frustrations about the way corporations view wellness, as it is often overlooked and under-valued. Constantly feeling the effects of budgetary restraints that left him “like an iceberg...only able to deal with the symptoms of poor health and wellness at the surface level, not the causes,” Dean quit his job to begin a new life as an entrepreneur. Currently entrenched in his own wellness consulting business and podcast, Dean is determined to not only provide a service, but also offer an education for those looking to live a better, more fulfilling, and healthier life. From working with college students, to providing new rehabilitation techniques for stroke and Parkinson’s patients, Dean is giving people more than treatments, but “a feeling.” You are going to love this episode!

Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner - Episode 176

Episode 176 - Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner

“I was only 14-years-old, and I was not like other kids...I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis...I had to rely on medicine…I was not going to give up.”

“...exercise and eating better makes me feel good.” - Logan Muller (18-years-old & Rheumatoid arthritis WARRIOR!)

This episode of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast is very special. Today, you will hear from Logan Muller, who is joined by her mother Linda Muller, for an in-studio interview that will pull at your heartstrings. Logan, the recipient of the 2020 Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Scholarship, presented through the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, shares her powerful story of perseverance and determination to overcome and triumph over her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis as a young teenager. Logan, a super sweet, intelligent, “old-soul,” as her mother lovingly refers to her, endured years of physical and emotional obstacles and many times of uncertainty. From long trips to and from her specialists, to undergoing various chemo treatments in an attempt to put her disease into remission, Logan was able to remain focused on her schoolwork and even managed to make it to the Cheerleading World Championships three times where she earned an 11th place ranking! Logan is wise beyond her years as she proves while discussing the impact that eating a healthy diet, exercise and a positive mindset has had on her ability to reduce flare-ups and feel good. Everyone needs to take notes on this one!

Finally, the Two Fit Crazies fill in Logan on their 40-mile run for Christine’s 40th birthday to benefit her scholarship and how Logan must now continue her journey to inspire others through her story! Logan will be attending Seton Hall University this fall where she has already been accepted to a 6-year occupational therapy program.

Thank you to the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce and the Muller Family for making this episode so special.

“Cats and dogs, living together, it’s mass hysteria.” - Christine & Bill Murray

Every so often, the Two Fit Crazies reunite for an extra crazy show to bring all of you up to

speed on their latest acts of craziness. This episode will not disappoint as Brian attempts to

“talk Christine off the ledge” after her most recent “failure forward” and Brian goes on a rant

about the state of humanity.

First, congratulations to Logan, our second annual Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone

Podcast Scholarship winner. She is a Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior who is headed to college

to continue to inspire the world. Stay tuned for her debut on the show next month!

In addition, as the pandemic draws on, Brian and Christine get fired up over various topics such

as: mask-wearing (like why is this an option?), equality (like why doesn’t everyone want

this?), humanity (like why are people so angry?), the ocean (like why does it have to be a war

zone?) and much much more! Also, find out why Brian is talking like Andrew Dice Clay, why

Christine’s hair smells like bug repellent and where you can get a “facial down there!” Yes.

“You never choose your path, message, charity. It chooses YOU.” “Everyone needs two mentors; one person in your field and one person you want to be like.” - Lawrence Biscontini

It has been two years in the making, but the Two Fit Crazies were finally able to steal some time with the one-of-a-kind inspirational human by the name of Lawrence Biscontini. Joining the show from his quarantine retreat, or extended “staycation,” in Puerto Rico, Lawrence shares how “fear, family history, and an evil stepmother” inspired him to pursue what was most important to his heart. This self-proclaimed “resident of the world,” who mainly resides in New York, Puerto Rico and Mykonos when he is not presenting around-the-globe, has spent the last 5 months laser-focused on mentoring and consulting fitness professionals on how to elevate their career, make deeper connections on deeper levels, keep the “kind” in human kindness, and how to think like a business. Lawrence reveals why he was compelled to create a Virtual Global United Fitness Roundtable to provide access to the best ideas, tips, and secrets from top industry leaders from around-the-world. From his work with outreach programs for the Sisters of St. Joseph to the Biscontini Scholarships, Lawrence is a truly remarkable soul, and one in which you will surely want as a friend and mentor.

The Two Fit Crazies loved all the amazing advice Lawrence offers up on this episode, so get your pens and pencils ready, it is time for some hashtags: #buckofcrazy #Fitnessworks #Youarenotalone #thrivenotsurvive #Fitfam #YesYouCan

Episode 172 - Thom King - CEO and Chief Food Scientist, ICON Foods/Author, Guy Gone Keto

“I look at what I do as more of a cause than as a business.”

“The process took years...I look back at the successes versus the challenges...the challenges

are when I learned the most...I am super grateful for those.”

- Thom King

In Episode 172, the Two Fit Crazies have an amazing conversation with Thom King, “part CEO,

part personal development wonk and part biohacker info geek.” Joining the show from

Portland, Oregon, Thom discusses his journey to become a “serial entrepreneur,” founding

multiple companies and authoring a book. Currently the CEO and Chief Food Scientist at

ICON Foods, Thom reveals how a fortuitous run in with an “OG” of Stevia led to his

fascination and eventual success dissecting and re-creating great tasting foods using

clean-label sweetening systems to replace sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. In addition

to working with major food and beverage companies around the world, Thom’s personal

Ketogenic lifestyle inspired him to share his knowledge and experiences with the world

through his book, Guy Gone Keto. Although the word “Guy” appears in the title, Thom

reassures listeners that the message is universal: “you must eat to live, not live to eat.”

Through his passion for creating foods that offer less sugar and carbs per serving, Thom talks

about his current line of condiments and his current project of creating healthier and

Keto-friendly cocktails such as: Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Manhattan’s, and Christine’s

personal favorite, the Cosmopolitan. Do not be surprised when she asks if taste testers are

needed! You are going to love this episode packed with tons of laughs and surprising

information about what is in your food!

Episode 143 - Medical Fitness Tour 2020 Recap - Christine & Brian Rally for Doctors to Prescribe Fitness & Nutrition 

“We all share the same mission; we want to improve the quality of peoples’ lives through movement and nutrition. Let’s shift the paradigm!” -Christine

In Episode 143, Brian and Christine reunite for a powerful conversation about shifting the paradigm that exists between the current state of medical professionals and fitness professionals around the world.  Christine talks about her recent trip to lecture at the Medical Fitness National Conference at the University of Irvine and discusses her trademarked facial fitness and rehabilitation program, Let’s FACE It Together™.  Both Brian and Christine elaborate on some of the latest research and studies to support the collaboration of both professions. While the traditional doctor “treats problems,” the fitness professional is interested in preventing problems and reducing the onset of diseases.  Let’s geek out on the research and studies that prove a healthy diet that includes movement will naturally lead you to live a more quality life! If you have yet to hear about the MedFit Network and Education Foundation, a non-profit organization spearheaded by Lisa Dougherty, it’s time to check it out and join the movement. 

Let’s Shift the Paradigm!
