Ex Nihilo Health Podcast: Fitness | Paleo nutrition | Mental Performance | Christianity | Eddie Williams

In this episode Eddie and his guest, Sinan Ozyemisci get into the nitty gritty of each fad diet, why people are hating on Adele's weight loss, plus why you need a coach to help you perform at your best. We get into:-Keto Diet, OMAD, intermittent fasting, IIFYM and Vegan diets-The food differences in America vs Turkey and other countries-Eating food in season-Why having accountability is amazing-How to eat well and perform your best-And more…Sinan's Bio:My name is Sinan Ozyemisci and I can honestly say I have been obsessed with getting my hands on fresh ingredients and new recipes since the day I learned to walk. Growing up in Coastal Turkey, as a kid, I had a slightly different outlook on food than my colleagues. There were no fast food chains, no delivery services, and no chain restaurant commercials. Instead, it was a game of whether I could get up early enough in the morning to get the day's grocery shopping done with my grandmother. It was a daily game of running the fresh bread from the bakery back to the car fast enough that the seagulls wouldn't attack me. It was a daily puzzle of deciding what local jams to try for breakfast that week or which tomatoes to pick for the food we had planned. But regardless of those daily decisions, two things were always certain; figs (when in season) and daily caught, fresh fish from the fishermen on the waterfront. So, to sum it up, grocery shopping for me began with running (the bread back to the car) and ended with running (the fish back to the car before the cats got to the bag in my hand). Fast forward to today, I think those exact days are the main reason why you will always see the quote ‘Smile More, Worry Less, Live Your Passion' in my signature on my emails. Professionally, coaching nutrition and changing lives, as a part of the amazing StrongerU Nutrition team, for the small return of a smile IS and ALWAYS WILL BE my passion. I believe that a smile goes far beyond just in-between the ears and rather strongly impacts how clients function, think, behave, and impact those around them. My goal is to make others just as passionate about what they buy, what they eat, and what they put in their body, as I am about it. Educationally, I hold my first Masters in Applied Clinical Nutrition from New York Chiropractic College and am currently enrolled at Penn State University to become a Registered Dietitian in 2021, with the hope to expand my nutritional impact across-the-world for a healthier tomorrow.Show Links: Sinan's IG: https://www.instagram.com/dr_synonymous/ Sinan's Bio: https://www.functionalathleticnutrition.com/meet-sinan Sinan's contact email: sinan@strongeru.com Sign Up with Coach Sinan through StrongerU — https://strongeru.com Why We Sleep: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Sleep-Unlocking-Dreams/dp/1501144316 Atomic Habits: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=atomic+habits&s=books&sr=1-3 The FREE Quick Start guide to Health http://www.exnihilohealth.com/get-the-ex-nihilo-quick-start-guide-to-health/ the FREE Quick Start Guide to Health: http://www.exnihilohealth.com/get-the-ex-nihilo-quick-start-guide-to-health/ Subscribe to Ex Nihilo Health: https://www.youtube.com/c/exnihilohealth?sub_confirmation=1 Ex Nihilo Health Website http://exnihilohealth.com Follow Eddie on Instagram http://instagram.com/realewilliams Follow Eddie on Twitter http://twitter.com/realewilliams

In this episode of the Ex Nihilo Podcast, I talk with Natalie Talbert, a L2 Crossfit coach, and former Division 1 athlete.

Why Listen? To get strong and lose weight many people think you have to be in the gym for a few hours a day like a bodybuilder. Today in the show we learn that that just isn'tt the case. You can get strong, lose fat and feel amazing with something called minimalist training. Minimalist training is the idea of doing the least amount possible for the greatest amount of results. Our guest Pat Flynn breaks down how to get the most bang for your buck in your workouts. He also tells us what common mistakes rookies are making in the gym and what sorts of foods to eat while living the minimalist lifestyle. Guest Bio Pat Flynn is a fitness minimalist and believes any exercise program will improve in direct ratio to the number of things you can leave out of it that shouldn’t be there. He is the founder of The Chronicles of Strength and chief contributor to the Chronicles Of Strength Inner Circle - a monthly newsletter dedicated to helping you reach your goals through fitness minimalism (or doing the least amount of exercise needed to get the job done). Pat is also the author of Paleo Workouts for Dummies and Fast Diets for Dummies.

Why Listen? Our guest is a functional medicine physician and has founded a practice that's modern and tech savvy, enabling patients to interact with their Doctors in ways their more used to communicating in.

Pretty cool, right? So next time you have Adrenal Fatigue or a Gut issue (both of which we discuss in the show) you can shoot your doctor a text message and get help rather quickly. Speaking of Adrenal Fatigue, it's plaguing our modern western society. People are running themselves into the ground with work, money problems, divorce and other stresses and the result is a body with Hormone dysfunction. Our guest tells you how to beat adrenal fatigue for good and keep it away. We also talk about what it means to become Super Human this year.

  Why Listen? This is perhaps the most important episode of the show we've done. Ex nihilo means "from nothing". This site is all about recovering some of what we lost in the Garden of Eden. This includes our bodies, our diets, or prayer/meditation life, but it also includes how we treat one another. We call that "community". How do we relate with one another? That's a big question we need to answer We know that racial tension is high today in the US, and our guest gives us some very hardcore truths about the realities of the solution to these problems. They are very real truths that are hard to hear, but important for us to reconcile with one another.

    Why Listen? This show is packed with tips on baking smart without adding the extra carbs and sugar into your body. Our Guest Katie Coleman battled with Type 1 Diabetes for more than twenty years, and after some experimenting, she's developed some awesome baking hacks that aren't only healthy for you, but they taste amazing as well. She's leveraged that knowledge into starting a company called the Keep it Real Food co. You'll hear how she did all of that and you'll learn about some of the dangers of Diabetes and why it must be stopped with healthy choices. Katie's Bio Katie Coleman is the owner of Keep It Real Food Company, co-host of the podcast Diabetes Unscripted, a self-proclaimed nutrition nerd, and person with type 1 diabetes for over 20 years. She was diagnosed at age 11 and followed the standard approach for diabetes care for many years. At age 26, she formed the company “Grain Expectations” – a blog and bakery focusing on whole grain baked goods. However, she quickly realized that, despite being so-called “healthy”, these whole grain foods were not actually diabetes-friendly. In 2010, she changed the name and focus of the business to Keep It Real Food Co, with the goal of creating grain-free, low-glycemic snacks and treats using ONLY naturally healthy ingredients that everyone can enjoy. After learning about the gluten-free and paleo diets through her customers, she continued on her own dietary journey, adopting a low-carb paleo diet and immersing herself in the latest functional medicine research. When she’s not working on her business, listening to her favorite health podcast, or reading about nutrition,  she loves hiking and playing music around the San Francisco Bay Area.   Show links: Keep it Real Food co.
