In this episode Les catches up with and old friend and colleague. Laura Brazeal has walked her way out of an unfulfilling occupation into a life lived at “human speed.” Laura has a great energy and a lot to offer the world. Enjoy the episode! Laura Brazeal: Mind Over Muscle, Restorative Exercise Specialist www.trainmindovermuscle.com After years of training for competitive sports, Mind Over Muscle founder Laura Brazeal was “fit” and in pain. In her mid-twenties, she was already experiencing substantial knee twinges just getting out of her car and low back spasms while jogging. The focus on getting fit and looking good was at odds with her long-term goals of optimal health and longevity. This realization drove Laura to completely revamp how she views fitness and incorporates movement into her life. She peeled away the activities that left her feeling rundown and endlessly striving for results that didn’t add to her quality of life. She stopped pursuing the exercise she “should” do, and embraced the movement that spoke to her soul. In 2017 she founded Mind Over Muscle to help others move in ways that allowed them to experience joy, calm, and empowerment. Her holistic approach prioritizes everyday movement and how it makes her feel not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. She continues to follow her body’s wisdom, moving in ways that feel good. For her that includes walking, gardening, and playing with her husband and son.

In this episode Les chats with Eugene Trufkin about some of the unseen pitfalls of the food industry and how they can manifest as suboptimal health for the human population. Eugene teaches us what some of the common labeling in the food industry actually means and how to navigate food choices to allow us to be at our best. Ever find yourself confused in the egg isle at the grocery store? So many options but what do all those labels mean? Cage free or pasture raised? Organic or vegetarian fed? Does grass fed beef actually mean grass fed? Did your tomato grow in soil or in a tray of water in a lab? Marketing directors do not begin their day with our best health in mind. It takes a bit of awareness to learn how to provide the best food options for you and your family. Hopefully this conversation can be a tool to hone in your lifestyle to match your health desires.

In this episode Les sits down with one of his greatest teachers, his daughter, Mollie Raymond. Together they discuss a variety of topics to explore the perspectives of a teenaged human growing up in the environment resulting from a pandemic. RESOURCES: "Wand" by: Mollie Raymond writing is such a sacred thing and i feel like a bulldozer troll for stamping on it with my giant cement feet for abusing words imposing my will. sorry i have not been gentle and sorry that these days i only write to take out the trash in my mind. sorry i’m not open to receiving, to submitting to the universe. sorry i’m not a wand, one end planted in the earth, drawing up water and minerals, the other end pointed at the sky, channeling all the sun’s brilliance, then transmuting these energies into art. when my therapist curses, it makes me think it’s okay to take out my feelings on the ground, to stomp, to scream, to say fuck. sometimes i should still be quiet. birds and singing bowls make gentle music. you have to stop talking to listen. thank you for humbling me, god. god knows, well i guess you know, i needed it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Les and Sara on social media to stay up to date on the latest from The Mindful Movement: https://www.instagram.com/themindfulmovementpodcast/ (INSTAGRAM - @themindfulmovementpodcast) https://www.facebook.com/themindfulmovementpodcast/ (FACEBOOK)  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu_mPlZbomAgNzfAUElRL7w?sub_confirmation=1 (YOUTUBE)  Join Sara from The Mindful Movement for this https://www.themindfulmovementcourses.com/ (FREE 4-Day Meditation Journey)!

Angell is the founder of the sanctuary healing center in New York where he practices shamanism and a wide variety of healing modalities to allow mother nature’s wisdom to surface.

In this episode Les sits down (via zoom) with Clint Ober. Clint's accidental discovery years ago has been seen as one of the most important of our time. The hidden connection all life forms share with our planet has proven to offer health benefits that can reach farther than many would have ever expected. -----------------------------------------------------------------------Clint Ober is the innovator behind the Grounding Movement & CEO of Earth FX Inc., a research and development company located in Southern California, where he designs and develops indoor grounding products and continues to investigate the health benefits of grounding. A series of seemingly unrelated yet highly synchronistic events dating back to his early childhood led to a groundbreaking discovery that many have called The Most Important Health Discovery of all time. Grounding has now become a massive international movement — causing people to shed their shoes and reconnect electrically to the surface of the Earth. He first learned about grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960s. A decade later, he formed Telecrafter Corporation and built it into the largest provider of cable installation services in the United States. This company specialized in proper grounding of cable installations for safety and TV signal stability. In the 1980s, he turned his attention to the developing computer industry and partnered with McGraw-Hill to distribute live digital news services, via cable, to PCs. This led to the development of the first cable modem and an increased awareness of the need for proper system grounding. Following a health challenge in 1995, he retired and embarked on a personal journey looking for a higher purpose in life. During his travels, he noticed people wearing plastic and rubber soled shoes that insulate the body from earth. He wondered if no longer being naturally grounded could affect us. The question led to an experiment that suggested grounding alone reduced chronic pain and improved sleep. Thereafter, he developed a working hypothesis: Grounding the human body to the Earth normalizes the functioning of all of the body's systems — the body utilizes the earth’s electrical potential and free electrons to maintain its internal electrical stability, normalizing all of its self-regulating and self-healing systems. Over the past twenty years, he has supported many of the over 20 research studies that collectively demonstrate that grounding reduces inflammation and promotes normal functioning of all body systems.

In this episode, Les sits down with Aaron Alexander to discuss the far-reaching effects our posture has on our body, including our personality traits, and even things such as our memory recall. In his book The Align method, Aaron explores the many relationships our lifestyle habits interact with our posture, and how they pour into other often overlooked areas of our life. Aaron introduces himself: I'm a manual therapist, movement coach, and author, as well as the host of the Align Podcast, ranked #1 in Nutrition on Apple Podcasts. I have helped the world’s top athletes and celebrities, and everyone in between, relieve their physical and mental pain. After working with clients and spending years traveling around the world, being immersed in various cultures, I have come to the conclusion that the healthiest people are not from gym cultures. Instead, they utilize each moment as an opportunity to move their body, strengthen their mind, and live holistically. Taking the practices I have gathered from these cultures, insights from past podcast guests, and my own clinical practice, I have created a modernized, simplified movement lifestyle for you to easily integrate into your daily life. When you do, every moment becomes an opportunity to develop strength, flexibility, and confidence to live optimally. https://amzn.to/3bBEOt7 ("The Align Method," a book by Aaron Alexander) A video version of this interview can be viewed https://youtu.be/vlt9CxN0DQM (here.)
