“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 170 - Dr. Glenn Livingston Clinical Psychologist and Author of ​Never Binge Again

“The voice of justification is my inner pig...I don’t eat pig slop and I don’t let animals tell me what to do.”

“Use the present moment to be healthy.” - Dr Glenn Livingston

In Episode 170, the Two Fit Crazies have an amazing conversation with Dr. Glenn Livingston, clinical psychologist, and author of ​Never Binge Again. ​ Glenn openly discusses how his struggles with over exercising, or exercise bulimia, and binge eating led to his formerly obese state.

Listen closely as Glenn reveals how we all have a “voice of justification” that he calls his “inner pig.” As one learns how to communicate with this “inner pig,” they will then experience newfound balance, freedoms, control, and safety. Dr. Glenn delves deeper into this concept in his book, Never Binge Again​, which you can attain FOR FREE on his website, www.neverbingeagain.com​. Quiet that inner pig!

-Mindy Mylrea

In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine welcome back the awesomely smart, fit and SUPER fun friend of the show by the name of Mindy Mylrea. Mindy has returned to talk about her new book called ​The Plant Powered Penis! ​ You heard it right folks! Today’s show is ALL ABOUT THE PENIS! Do not worry, it’s okay to laugh! Delivered with humor and uplifting messages of hope, Mindy talks about why she chose to write this book and how she feels compelled to educate the world about the healing power of food. Mindy recalls what it was like after her husband, Bruce, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and how they were able to transform their lives and improve their health by eating a plant-based diet. While Mindy and Bruce provide a wealth of knowledge about the plant-based lifestyle in their One Day to Wellness Certifications and workshops, Mindy felt men (and women) would benefit from what “popped up” from her research to diminish erectile dysfunction and other health-related issues. Be on the lookout for Mindy’s “penis tips” at the end of every chapter and learn how eating Nitrate Oxide enriched foods are shown to increase blood flow to “certain” areas in the body.

Before the end of the show, Bruce Mylrea gets in on the action and gives us a preview of his own book, ​ A Plant Powered Approach to Prostate Cancer. ​

Episode 157 - Carol Ann – Chiseled Faith

Director of Education: Chiseled Faith Author: ​Chiseled Faith Fitness Expert, Author, Educator, Health & Fitness Entrepreneur

“I always felt that something was missing from the faith-based community.”

“Live a life of abundance...not be a slave to your body.” - Carol Ann

In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies are joined by the amazingly uplifting, beautiful, and intelligent woman by the name of Carol Ann, the mastermind behind Chiseled Faith. Carol Ann felt something was missing from the faith-based community with regards to exercise and caring for the body. As a result, she wrote, ​Chiseled Faith, a manuscript that lays the groundwork for educating religious communities to improve nutrition and exercise routines through teachings of the Bible. While the fitness industry talks about the idea of exercising the mind and body, Carol Ann is a pioneer in finding a way to “tap into spirituality” through Chiseled Faith. With staggering numbers of obese and unhealthy clergy and religious officials on the rise, Carol Ann knew it was time to find a way to “work in” fitness and nutrition into the religious community. Carol Ann also discusses how growing up as a Fundamental Baptist in the south provided her with the inspiration to create a faith-based health and wellness program that perfectly juxtaposes the principles of exercise science with faith. Her dedication to provide community motivation and inspiration through the words of the Bible are unparalleled as seen through her devotion to Chiseled Faith. This episode will surely inspire you!

“The biggest thing that helped me…stretching...it can be applied to everyone, not just athletes.”

“We help keep you healthy.” - Jake Feury

In Episode 156, the Two Fit Crazies have an awesome conversation with Jake Feury, the mastermind and owner of Stretch Recovery Lounge in Ridgefield, New Jersey. Jake, who also happens to be a professional Rugby player for Rugby United New York, shares how his use of stretching and recovery enabled him to fully recover from bilateral fractures in his vertebrae and stay at the top of his game. With a passion for not only helping athletes prepare for and recover from big competitions, but also a desire to help the average person recover from injuries, improve mobility, and increase flexibility, Jake is an extremely intelligent and experienced trainer. His dream of opening his own business became a reality in the fall of 2019, and since then, he now employs a group of talented therapists and trainers who are highly adept at assisted stretching, massage, cupping, deep tissue ice therapy, and more. If you are looking to improve the quality of your life and live more active years, you will love Jake Feury! Take some notes or even try a virtual session!
