I now work professionally with clients to achieve a range of goals including weight reduction and management, stress management, life balance, and tapping into the incredible power of visioning, proper goal-setting, and achieving progress, not perfection. But I haven't always been Healthy Heather. I used to be overweight, undernourished, stressed out, and fed up. I felt like I did everything "right" but I could never achieve my fitness goals. Then I gave up and decided to forget the numbers, forget the scale, and opt out of the crazy traps I kept walking into. After my own pity party of a few weeks, I realized I missed my healthy goals. But I decided to approach them differently. I changed the way I thought about my wellness, and that changed everything. I lost the weight, gained the energy, balanced my life, and even quit my job as a non-profit manager so I can help you do the same thing. The success of my clients and partners is my passion, and helping others live healthy is its own reward. I am so thankful for those bad decisions...without them I never would have ended up here with you!

#24 - Two weekends ago, I participated in 29029.  What is it?  The number 29029 comes from the height of Mt. Everest.  Mt. Everest's elevation is 29029 feet.  The goal of this event is to achieve the equivalent vertical ascent of Mt. Everest within 36 hours.  I was at Snowbasin Mountain in Utah.  This mountain required 13 ascents to achieve that elevation gain.  We hiked up, took the gondola down, and repeated 13 times!What is the event like?  How did I do?  What did I think about it?  What insights did I gain from this event that can help you on this or any other event?  That is all discussed on today's episode.Follow me on Instagram @barry_s_karch

#22 - The last 5 months I've been training super hard for an event called 29029 Everesting.  What is it?  The goal is to hike up a mountain 29029 feet to achieve the equivalent vertical ascent as if I'd climbed Mt. Everest.  I'm not going to Mt. Everest, I'm going to Snowbasin, Utah.  That mountain requires me to do 13 ascents in order to achieve 29029 feet. We have 36 hours to "everest."   I'll be hiking up the mountain, taking the gondola down, and repeating - 13 times.  I can't wait!While training for this event, I have learned a lot of lessons that I want to share with you.  My hope is that you gain insights that you can apply to your own training - no matter what you are training for.Let's go!Follow me on Instagram @barry_s_karch

Jesse Itzler does not negotiate his goals. He’s the author of the New York Times bestsellers, Living with a Seal and Living with the Monks, the cofounder of Marquis Jet, the world's largest private jet card company which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets, and he also partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company. On top of everything else, he’s also an owner of the Atlanta Hawks NBA team! Clearly, Itzler has never shied away from prioritizing personal growth and adventure.  “If you don’t prioritize adventure,” he says, “You get a calendar filled up with responsibilities and appointments.” These days, he’s helping others to prioritize adventure and to “build their life resumes” with his 29209 Everesting events. He and his team literally bring Everest and 29,000 feet of vertical climbing to mountains across the United States. Part “Burning Man,” part “Ironman,” these weekend adventures are all about satisfying that hunger we all have for experience, challenge and growth.  While we all may not aim to literally climb Everest, this episode contains a mountainful of actionable steps that will inspire you to begin fixing the things that may be broken in your life to find the hero within.  Whether it’s the plant-strong food on your plate or your morning movement ritual, learning to start your day with small wins and creating one winning habit or behavior a month not only set a positive tone for the day, but also accelerate your success and happiness.  What can be a better investment than that?   Episode Resources: 29029 Everesting Jesse Itzler Website   Know your numbers!  Plant-Strong has partnered with the nation’s leader in direct-to-consumer lab testing.  For a list of recommended tests and a money-saving bundle, visit our website.

How do you react to a challenge? Are you the type to back off and find an easier route, or to face it head-on? And how do you grow from one approach to the other? Mark Hodulich is a father, husband, entrepreneur, and ultra-endurance athlete, as well as the CEO of 29029.  Marc’s main focus is being a challenge curator - creating endurance opportunities for like-minded individuals to invest in mind, body, and spirit. The most recent creation, 29029, involved renting a private mountain where participants attempted to summit 17x until they reached the vertical height of Mt. Everest 29029. Marc is based in Atlanta, GA where he resides with his wife, Stacey, boys Chase and Dylan and dog, Barkley.  On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Rock and Marc explore different approaches to adversity, how your community shapes your outlook, and the sense of pride that comes with never giving up.

As we start this third season of the show, I want to first of all, thank you for listening. The core ethos of the show will be steadfast to always have amazing guests talking about important topics. My goal is also to experiment and learn via the mechanics of the show. Last year on New Year’s Day I did a monolog on Healthspan and my personal experimentation and rationale behind it, and to my nice surprise it was a very popular episode. I got to thinking, I’ll try a new tradition of doing something different from my usual conversations and do a deeper, more personal dive, but work to make it useful to others. So, here goes, I hope you like it. This is the first day of a New Year and new decade, and I wanted to think out loud about getting things done in 2020 and beyond. This past year, I turned 60, and after my initial freak-out passed, I set out to make my 60th year somewhat of an adventure. I don’t want to squander any remaining years, and really, no one should at any age. And, with all due modesty, I am not a newbie when it comes to doing a number of dumb things in my first 59 years. I decided to do what I called “Epic 60.” Not that I was going to do 60 things, but more so whatever I did would be “epic” for me to achieve while turning 60. As I have not gotten them all done in the time frame of one year, I then thought I could rename this endeavor as “Epic Sixties.”  But that sounded more like a tribute album to old rock-and-roll bands, and potentially limiting or confusing. I realized with the help of my family pointing out to me that most of what I want to do, so do others, of any age. Thus, rebrand to “Epic Living” and what follows herein is one approach, and some tips and ideas that may resonate for you. And now, on with the show. Epic Ideas for 2020: Revolution over Resolutions. Bottom-line, see what work, most of the time, just for you. Now, go do something epic!

Many people in life stay away from challenges. Some start and then stop. The best views are from the top. In order to get there, you have to conquer challenges that develop you in the process.

Have you ever questioned your “limits?” Maybe it was doing something athletic, or perhaps in your work or even personal life. I think no matter who you are, where you are, or what you do, pushing up against some type of limit is part of what makes a human a human. Some limits may be external or situational. But what about those that we self-impose? What about those we learned or believe to be true—but what if they were not? Well then enter Alex Hutchinson, PhD, and his work, experience and latest book, the New York Times best seller, ENDURE: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. Rich Roll said, “Alex’s examination of limits is not restricted to physical performance. Defined broadly as ‘the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop,’ Alex suggests that endurance is best understood as surprisingly universal, applicable to essentially every challenge we face, be it athletic, academic, professional or emotional.” Hear, hear! In this episode we explore both the physical and the psychological components of human performance and endurance—what are the ingredients that lead to breaking a record versus throwing in the towel?  We do go wide into the worlds of endurance athletes, and we do go way deep into running, but I suspect what you’ll learn in this episode will transcend any particular category. Alex was also a two-time finalist in the 1500, at the Canadian Olympic trials, and has represented Canada internationally in track, cross-country, road racing, and mountain running competitions. Alex lives his life to the fullest, and does so with a curious mind and scientific eye that benefits us all.
