Chris Janke is a father, author, and host of the “Health in the Real World” podcast. He has been a  personal trainer since 2004 and places an emphasis on first building a strong foundation and continuing from there. He is a big fan of bodyweight training and progressing in a safe manner. He aims to help his clients build strength, flexibility, and core at the same time. It was great to talk to Chris and learn about some of the more basic, yet no less important, parts of the human anatomy that should be focused on to live a truly functionally healthy body.

Sheila Tober is a physician assistant. She helps each of her patients to better understand their body and the factors that impact it. She first makes sure to take the step of listening to them, understanding how they feel and what their goals are.

Nick Tober has been a mentor and friend of mine for about five years. We met when he took over as advisor for an entrepreneurship club that I was a part of in College. He introduced me to investing and works for a bank. Seems like a weird fit for a health podcast right? Actually no. Health is a very human thing. An individual thing. Something that I think everyone can provide some form of insight about through their ideas and stories, regardless of whether or not they are an “expert” or an “average joe” as Nick calls himself. Despite his main expertise being business, Nick has a lot of valuable information about health and fitness running through his head, and he was kind enough to share some of it with you and me.---(03:01) Why I asked Nick on the show.(05:19) About Nick.(08:13) Challenges faced working a desk job. (09:36) Balancing the challenges of a desk job.(12:03) Knowing if you are truly hungry.(14:28) We are our own harshest critics.(16:18) No one best diet for everyone.(17:23) Nick’s recent experience with fitness.  (21:35) The importance of experimentation.(22:44) Accountability.(25:48) Verbalizing thoughts.(27:31) Being an “Average Joe”.(31:53) Knowing your “why” and allowing it to change.---If you enjoyed this episode and took value from it, please subscribe, leave a five star review, and share the show with others that you think would benefit from it.

Jordan Syatt is a personal trainer, retired world-record powerlifter, and jiu-jitsu newb. He’s also a wizard (not really, but I hear he has a thing for Dumbledore). He is a proponent of functional but strategic dieting and has made a name for himself in the industry, not only as the personal trainer of Gary Vaynerchuk, but as a hard-working, honest, and caring coach who is always there to support and inspire his clients. It was an honor to get to speak with Jordan as he has played a big role in shaping my thoughts on health and fitness as of late; he even managed to shift my mindset a bit during this episode, so look forward to that!

So search “Jarome Iginla finger” if you are interested in seeing the grotesqueness. Also, while the goalie Clint Malarchuk did survive his neck being cut open by a skate, he did go on to struggle with suicidal thoughts and two more near death experiences.
