First off, can we all give our Crosscast Collab partners some love?! Jump on the Sunnyside's Mindful Drinking App wave and listen to my dude Mike Hardenbrook's podcast, Journey to The Sunnyside. Episode Overview: In this special Crosscast collaboration with the Journey To The Sunnyside Podcast, we dive into my transformative journey of mindful drinking. As a high-performance coach, podcast host, and registered dietitian, I would have thought that I had healthy habits down, but after 2020, I had some lessons to learn. So join in as we discuss how tracking my alcohol consumption over 150 days (now 250+) has led to significant insights into my habits, health, and cultural influences. Throughout this episode, we explore the challenges and rewards of this journey, offering practical advice and personal reflections on accountability, honesty, and the role of technology in fostering healthy habits. Key Points: Generational and Cultural Influence: We explore how our Latino heritage and family history have shaped my early relationship with alcohol, noting the cultural tendency to keep issues within the family and avoid vulnerability. Pandemic and Self-Realization: Like many others, the isolation and lifestyle changes during the pandemic prompted me to reassess my drinking habits. We discuss how increasing tolerance and lack of awareness led to a commitment to mindful drinking. Tracking and Accountability: We share how using the Sunnyside app for over 150 days has provided the structure and support needed to stay mindful about alcohol consumption. We highlight how the app's features, such as daily prompts and progress tracking, have been crucial in maintaining honesty and accountability. Honesty and Vulnerability: We emphasize the importance of being honest with ourselves. We reflect on how mindful drinking has improved our mental and physical well-being, stressing the value of checking in with our intentions and feelings before drinking. Balancing Performance and Well-Being: Drawing from my experience as a high-performance coach, we discuss the significance of aligning our drinking habits with personal and professional values. We offer advice on how to prioritize preparation, performance, and recovery in all areas of life. Role of Technology in Building Healthy Habits: We also tackle how the supportive community within the Sunnyside app has provided a sense of safety and encouragement, making it easier to maintain genuine honesty and make positive changes. Takeaways: Mindful drinking can significantly enhance health, self-awareness, and overall well-being. Honest reflection and accountability are vital for understanding and improving our relationship with alcohol. Cultural and generational influences are impactful, but open dialogue and supportive environments can facilitate change. Tracking and planning our drinking habits are effective tools for achieving consistency and reaching our goals. Call to Action: We encourage listeners to reflect on their relationship with alcohol, seek out supportive communities, and consider using tools like the Sunnyside app to track and manage their drinking habits mindfully. Remember, real progress starts with small, intentional steps. Links & Resources: Looking to uplevel your podcast listening?

Let's get after it: First off, can we all give our guest some love?! Follow Mike on IG and Threads @_mikenielsen and listen to his Runner's Resource pod! Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Mike, a dedicated runner, father, and podcaster who embodies the values of consistency, mindfulness, and perseverance. We connected over our shared experiences as dads balancing family life with personal passions. This episode is all about rediscovering the joy of running, learning to be present, and how that can positively impact other areas of life. Rediscovering Running: After years of avoiding running, I recently took it up again. My last significant run was the Chicago Marathon 2013, which didn't go as planned. I swore off running after that, but this year, something changed. I started running to prepare for a December HYROX event, combining strength and endurance. I realized I needed to improve my stamina and VO2 max. Running became more than just exercise; it became a practice in mindfulness and being present. I learned to focus on one mile at a time, which was crucial during our family road trip when we faced unexpected challenges. Mike's Running Journey: Mike has been a runner for nearly 25 years, with his love for running sparked early on. Running has taken him to marathons across the U.S. and even ultra-marathons. We talked about his recent 100-mile race attempt, which, despite not finishing, taught him valuable lessons about resilience and the power of a strong mindset. Mike's story highlights the importance of having goals and being adaptable when life throws curveballs. His commitment to running also influences his work as a podcaster and podcast editor, where he brings the same level of discipline and passion. Key Takeaways: Consistency is Key: Showing up daily, even when you don't feel like it, builds trust with yourself and others. It's not about being perfect but about being persistent. Mindfulness Matters: Running has become a mindfulness practice for me. Focusing on the present moment rather than the finish line can reduce stress and help manage life's uncertainties. Adaptability: Life, like a long-distance race, is unpredictable. Whether it's weather conditions or unexpected injuries, adaptability is crucial. Goal Setting: Having clear goals provides direction and motivation. For me, running has been about improving my fitness for an upcoming event and being an active role model for my kids. Embrace the Journey: It's important to celebrate the progress, no matter how small. The journey itself offers lessons, even if the final goal isn't reached as planned. Mike's Podcast Insights: Mike's podcast, “Runners Resource,” focuses on the running community, offering advice, inspiration, and shared experiences. His advice for aspiring podcasters is to know their “why,” be consistent, and enjoy the process. The journey is more important than instant success. Let's wrap it up: This conversation was a powerful reminder of the importance of showing up, both in running and in life. Whether it's a podcast or a personal goal, being consistent and mindful makes all the difference. And remember, sometimes it's okay to compartmentalize and take things one mile at a time.

Summary Welcome to 'Can't Believe I Made It,' where we explore the science of everyday activities and their impact on our health. Today, we're tackling a commonly held belief that might change how you view one of the most accessible forms of exercise: walking. In a recent episode of the Ed Mylett Show, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon expressed a view that walking should not be considered exercise but rather an activity of daily living, labeling it as the "lowest possible standard." Such statements can be misleading and may even be seen as ableist, disregarding the significant health benefits and accessibility of walking as a form of exercise. Here at 'Can't Believe I Made It,' we believe it's crucial to challenge such narratives. Not everyone has the ability or resources to engage in high-intensity workouts. For many, especially those with health conditions, injuries, disabilities, or maybe even those who don't have access to education or resources, walking is not only achievable but essential for maintaining health. It's inclusive, it's beneficial, and yes, it's absolutely exercise. Research supports this inclusive approach. A comprehensive study on daily step counts reveals that even moderate increases in walking can substantially improve health outcomes. This counters the notion that exercise must be intense to be beneficial. It highlights the importance of every step and shows that walking can significantly reduce the risk of mortality. So, as we discuss this topic, let's remember the importance of inclusivity in health and fitness. Walking is exercise, and for many, it's a vital part of staying healthy. Join us as we delve deeper into why walking deserves more respect in the fitness world and how embracing a broader view of exercise can help foster a healthier, more inclusive community.

Welcome, everyone, to a thought-provoking journey through the heart of a story that's been stirring the wellness community: the recent controversy involving Andrew Huberman. As your host, I'm diving deep into what this means for us all—whether we're sharing information or seeking it. Today, we're unpacking the complexities of science communication, the essential need for critical thinking, and how transparency can light our way in the vast wellness landscape. Summary In this episode, I reflect on the ripples caused by the controversy surrounding Andrew Huberman, a figure who has wielded significant influence in the health and wellness domain. We'll explore the impact this has on the way we communicate science and how it challenges us, as consumers, to be more discerning in the health information we digest. I'll share insights on the vital role of evidence-based information and offer guidance on navigating the sea of content to find beacons of trust and clarity. Takeaways The Huberman controversy shines a spotlight on the critical need for us to sharpen our discernment when consuming health information. Remember, the credibility of a health communicator is not just in their title but in the evidence and humility they bring to the table. It's about prioritizing hard evidence over compelling anecdotes or selective studies. Facts should guide our health decisions. Seeking out science communicators who embody transparency and humility is crucial. These are the voices that can truly enlighten us. Adopting a personalized approach to health and wellness, grounded in nuance and evidence, is essential. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Being selective and questioning in our consumption of health information is not just wise—it's necessary for our well-being. This controversy serves as a stark reminder of the fine line between influence and integrity in the wellness industry. Embracing skepticism and inquiry is a powerful stance in the pursuit of health and wellness. Sound Bites "I'm here to remind myself and you that in the realm of health communication, humility and evidence are our guiding stars." "Let's not forget, our strongest asset in navigating health advice is a questioning mind—seek evidence, embrace nuance, and always look for the science behind the claim." "This episode, this controversy, is a moment for all of us to reflect on how we engage with wellness narratives. It's a call to critical thinking and discernment in an age flooded with information." Conclusion As we wrap up today's exploration into the complexities of health and wellness controversies, let's carry forward the lessons learned. It's clear that as we journey through the wellness landscape, armed with a critical eye and a heart for truth, we can navigate the choppy waters of health information with confidence and care. Remember, the quest for health is personal, and armed with the right tools for discernment, we're each capable of charting a course that's not only informed but truly transformative. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and until next time, stay curious, stay skeptical, and stay well.

Hey there, fellow journeyers! Welcome back to another exciting episode of the "Can't Believe I Made It" podcast with yours truly, Dezi Abeyta. Today, we're diving deep into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its profound impact on our physical fitness and personal performance. Part three of our series explores how AI can supercharge different aspects of our lives. AI: A Partner, Not a Replacement (2 mins): First off, I want to emphasize that AI is not here to replace the human touch, especially when it comes to coaching and mentorship. While AI offers valuable information and insights, it's crucial to recognize its limitations. True growth often requires the guidance of a human coach, especially for those just starting their journey. Here's the ChatGPT Prompt that I used:Hi AI, I'm a [age and gender). Acting as a strength and conditioning coach specializing in power, speed, mobility and recovery. I'm looking to [specific fitness goal]. I have [equipment specifics] and can spend [X time] daily. What would be a sample workout week for me? AI-Powered Fitness (2 mins): Now, let's get to the heart of it. AI presents an incredible opportunity for anyone looking to boost their physical performance. The key is leveraging AI tools to create a personalized AI coach designed to cater to your unique needs and goals. Creating Your Personalized Workout Plan (3 mins): In this episode, I'll demonstrate how AI can assist you in crafting tailored workout routines and fitness plans. We're going to walk through the process of engaging with AI to generate a seven-day workout plan that hones in on power, speed, mobility, and recovery. But remember, specificity is key. You've got to be clear about your goals and your level of fitness expertise when you're using AI coaching. Meet Fit Wizard (1 min): I'll introduce you to an awesome plugin called "Fit Wizard." It's a game-changer for generating personalized workout routines. And don't miss the Fitness AI app; it's a fantastic tool for visualizing your workout plans.A Sneak Peek (1 min): Next time, in Part 4, we're going to explore how AI can help turn those creative ideas into actionable plans.

But first, remember as you scroll down to jump into our YT channel and hit that Subscribe button so we can add to the visual parts of your learning process. The Haircut Dilemma (2 mins): So, picture this: I'm about to meet my wife's family for the first time, and as you know, self-care, including that all-important haircut, plays a role in how we present ourselves. Unfortunately, my history with Manhattan barbers hasn't been stellar. But guess what? You can see the whole haircut saga on our YouTube channel. Now, let's dive into today's juicy topic.

Yes, AI can be your mental wellness coach, but remember, it's not a substitute for professional help if you truly need it. It's a valuable complement to your journey. Setting the Stage with Self-Awareness (2 mins): To harness AI effectively, you need a level of self-awareness and behavioral change skills. AI can provide knowledge, but you must take action. The abundance of information available today requires us to focus on behavioral change, and that's where AI steps in. Creating a Coaching Prompt (2 mins): I ran a prompt to AI asking how it could coach me on personal growth and mental well-being. It rightly emphasized it's not a replacement for professional medical advice, but it's still a powerful tool. What it asked for was crucial: your goals, challenges, daily routine, thoughts on therapy, and more. Understanding these aspects helps AI cater to you effectively. Introducing AI-Powered Tools (2 mins): Now, let's explore some exciting AI-powered tools that can complement your journey: Breathhh: This Chrome extension analyzes your web activity and provides exercises based on your needs.

Whether you're not sure about therapy, can't afford it, or want to deepen your self-awareness, AI can help. Teaser for Part 3 (1 min): Next time, in Part 3, we're diving into AI for fitness, exploring products and strategies that can take your physical performance to the next level.

Hey, High performers and Can't believers, welcome back to another soul-nourishing episode of "Can't Believe I Made a Podcast." It's your boy, Dez, and we've got a special Friday episode filled with rituals for resilience. As we transition into new seasons in life, whether it's summer ending, school starting, or embarking on a self-development journey, forming empowering habits becomes crucial. Join me on this journey as we explore the science of behavioral change and how taking that first step and trusting the process can lead to transformative cascading habits. Key Points: Cascading Habits and Rituals: Our lives are interconnected with pillars like sleep, movement, eating, and thinking. Creating one positive habit can lead to a chain reaction of other empowering habits that build momentum for resilience and wellbeing The Power of Starting: Just getting started is the first step towards positive change. Trust yourself and focus on the future rewards to overcome doubts and hesitation. The simple act of initiating an action sets the foundation for lasting habits. The Science of Habits: Habits are composed of cues, actions, and rewards. By understanding this formula, we can effectively build new habits and break old ones. Flossing Habit Study: An exploratory study on forming a flossing habit revealed the significance of positive attitudes towards the habit. Starting with small habits, like brushing teeth, can lead to sustainable changes in behavior. Building Positive Momentum: Embrace the power of cascading habits by starting with one empowering action. Whether it's going for a walk, attending a workout class, or seeking support, taking that initial step creates a ripple effect of positivity. Remember, beautiful things happen when we believe in ourselves and take that first step towards self-care and resilience. Trust in the process, and don't underestimate the power of starting. Allow cascading habits to work in your favor, leading you towards a fulfilling and empowered life. I love you all, my amazing listeners, and happy Friday! Stay tuned for our next episode featuring the inspiring journey of Ben Mendelson, who followed his intuition to pivot from professional baseball to something he's truly passionate about. Until then, take care, and keep believing in the incredible power within you. —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE COURSE: Hey there, high achievers!

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Anthony Collins, an incredible advocate for indigenous wellness and a talented photographer. Thosh shared his remarkable journey of personal growth and cultural revitalization, which began on the Salt River Reservation where he was raised. He spoke candidly about the grief and trauma experienced in indigenous communities due to the loss of land, culture, and traditional lifestyles. Thosh also discussed the transformative impact of the indigenous wellness movement and his involvement in the welfare culture initiative, which aims to bridge the gap between modern wellness approaches and traditional cultural practices.  We delved into his personal struggles with alcohol and substance use, and how he found healing and sobriety through the indigenous wellness movement. Thosh emphasized the importance of having a vision for oneself and taking daily steps towards its realization. He shared insights into cultivating indigenous wellness, highlighting the significance of ceremony and acknowledging our interconnectedness with all living things. Thosh's story is one of resilience, determination, and inspiring others to embrace their cultural heritage for a healthier and fulfilling future. About his book The Seven Circles: In The Seven Circles, Luger and Collins share intimate stories from their life journeys growing up in tribal communities, from the Indigenous tradition of staying active and spiritually centered through running and dance, to the universal Indigenous emphasis on a light-filled, minimalist home to create sacred space. Along the way, Luger and Collins invite readers to both adapt these teachings to their lives as well as do so without appropriating and erasing the original context, representing a critical new ethos for the wellness space. Each chapter closes with practical advice on how to engage with the teachings, as well as wisdom for keeping that particular circle in harmony with the others. With warmth and generosity—and 75 atmospheric photographs by Collins throughout—The Seven Circles teaches us how to connect with nature, with our community, and with ourselves, and to integrate ancient Indigenous philosophies of health and wellbeing into our own lives to find healing and balance. —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE COURSE: Hey there, high achievers!

Welcome to another episode of the "Can't Believe I Made It" podcast. Now, I might be speaking for myself here, but I can guarantee, to some extent, if you can think back to when you were a kid, how many of us wanted to be a famous athlete or a famous actor or a famous scientist or a famous [insert dream]? Each and every one of us as kids have likely had this crazy pipe dream to go off and do something that they thought was never possible. Today's guest, Ian Simon, actually had that opportunity. He was able to taste what it would be like to be an NFL athlete. And in one way or another, life gave him a couple of curveballs. The one thing that he worked his whole life to get to finally got snatched from his grasp. Inside of this episode, we get an opportunity to not only understand Ian's story but also understand what makes his process. And even more so, what has made his pivot amazing. And for our listeners out there, I just need you to take a step back and think about all the things that you wanted to be as a kid and think about why and how it's okay to pivot sometimes. Life throws unexpected challenges our way, but it's our resilience and ability to adapt that truly define us. Ian's story serves as a reminder that setbacks can lead to new opportunities and that embracing change can ultimately lead to personal growth and fulfillment. Whether you've experienced your own setbacks or simply need a dose of inspiration, this conversation will leave you feeling motivated and empowered to embrace change, pivot when necessary, and continue pursuing your dreams. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be inspired by Ian Simon's story of resilience, courage, and unwavering determination. It's time to dive into another incredible episode of the "Can't Believe I Made It" podcast.

Welcome to another episode of the "Can't Believe I Made It" podcast. It's your host, Dezi Abeyta, back with another installment of the Rituals for Resilience series. Today, I want to take you on a journey through my own experiences and share the rituals that have helped me declutter my mind and embrace growth. A year ago, I was facing health issues, dealing with hospital visits, and navigating major life changes. It was overwhelming, to say the least. Looking back, I realize that the mental clutter I carried played a significant role in my state of mind. But here's the thing, my friends: discomfort can be a catalyst for change. I remember a day when I deliberately put myself through discomfort. I contrasted between an ice bath and intense heat, engaged in a long meditative practice, and embraced rituals that pushed my boundaries. Little did I know, that day would teach me valuable tactics and rituals that I want to share with you today. Fast forward to the present, I'm in awe of all the places I've been. And I want to share with you five rituals that have made a profound impact on my journey and can help you reconnect with the present moment and become the healthiest version of yourself. Tune in and be inspired to take steps towards mental decluttering and personal growth. —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE COURSE: Hey there, high achievers!

In this episode of the "Can't Believe I Made It" podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Larissa Runyan, a former client, and graduate of our program. Larissa graciously shared her incredible journey of transformation, focusing on her physical, mental, and emotional development. We delved into the pivotal moment when Larissa realized she needed guidance and support to take better care of her body. Larissa shared her initial mindset of "more is better" when it came to training and how it affected her overall well-being. We discussed the challenges she faced in recognizing the importance of rest and recovery, as well as the resistance she initially felt when confronted with the idea. It was fascinating to explore the concept of being comfortable with being uncomfortable, which emerged as a recurring theme throughout Larissa's journey. She spoke candidly about overcoming negative thought patterns and the transformative power of embracing new experiences. Reflecting on her journey, Larissa offered valuable advice to her past self. She stressed the significance of internalizing the message of being comfortable with discomfort and encouraged herself to be open to trying new things. Larissa also highlighted the importance of investing in herself financially and making self-care a priority. I invite you to join me and Larissa in this inspiring conversation as we discuss transforming limiting beliefs, the power of self-care, and the journey toward personal growth and resilience. It's a dialogue that is sure to leave you feeling motivated and empowered!

Hey, what's up, can't-believers and high performers! Welcome to another episode of the Can't Believe I Made It podcast. Today we're diving into our new Friday's Rituals for Resilience series. In this series, we'll spend 10 to 12 minutes exploring three powerful strategies to optimize your performance in various areas of life. In today's episode, we're uncovering the secret strategies used by high-level athletes and talented entrepreneurs. You know, success leaves clues, and there's a lot we can learn from those we admire. So let's jump right into it. First up, we'll discuss the importance of sleep hygiene. One strategy that stands out is sleep tracking, and one app I highly recommend is Sleep Cycle. This user-friendly app not only tracks your sleep stages but also provides valuable insights for improvement. I often have my clients take screenshots of their data and implement sleep tactics based on the app's recommendations. It's an absolute game-changer for optimizing physical, mental, and emotional performance. Next, we'll explore the power of gratitude practice. Practicing gratitude has been scientifically proven to enhance overall well-being. One tool I swear by is the Five-Minute Journal. It's a simple and effective way to engage in goal-setting and self-reflection, helping you cultivate a positive mindset and improve your self-esteem. The benefits extend to your emotional regulation and relationships with others. The Five-Minute Journal is an incredible tool that I highly recommend incorporating into your daily routine. Finally, we'll delve into the world of breathwork. Just like meditation apps such as Headspace, the Breathwork app offers guided tools and techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation. With various classes and a la carte options, it caters to different needs and situations. The app teaches breathing techniques that increase oxygen levels and optimize CO2 levels, leading to improved cognitive functions, attentiveness, and decision-making abilities. Remember, you don't have to implement all three strategies at once. Start with the one that resonates with you the most and build from there. Spending just five to seven minutes on each practice can make a significant difference in your overall well-being and performance. These tools are designed for self-starters like you, empowering you to make positive changes and adapt to new circumstances. I hope you found these strategies valuable and actionable. Join me next time for another empowering episode. Until then, keep crushing it and let's fucking get it! —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE COURSE: Hey there, high achievers!

Welcome to another season of the Can't Believe I Made It podcast! I'm Dezi Abeyta, your podcast host and high-performance mentor. For those who have followed my journey, you know that I overthought this podcast project for way too long. But finally, I decided to take action and embark on my hero's journey, which led me to create this podcast for you all and I can't believe we are already in season friggin 8, which STARTS RIGHT NOW! So what can you expect from season eight? Well, the theme is “Embracing the Pivot”. I've been talking to a lot of athlete-entrepreneurs who have gone through a massive change in their lives, and I noticed that they all had something in common - they embraced the pivot. So this season, we're going to dive deeper into that concept, and I'm going to share some tips and insights on how you can pivot in your own life. If you feel like you're primed for a change, then this season is for you. I'll be covering tailored habits and rituals for sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindfulness. We'll also be talking about the science behind these topics and what you can do to apply them to your own life. In addition, we have some fantastic guests lined up for this season, including world-renowned authors and athlete-entrepreneurs. And to make things even better, we've banked episodes until the latter part of August, which means I can promote the podcast in a more authentic way. I hope this season inspires you to take action and make the necessary changes in your life to reach your goals. Remember, you are constantly the problem in your life, but you're also the solution. And if you're primed for a change, embrace the pivot and be comfortable in your discomfort. I'm excited to see where this journey takes us, and I hope you are too. So buckle up and let's dive into season eight! —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE COURSE: Hey there, high achievers!
