The whole point of optimization is to live the richest life possible at the highest level of vitality. For millions of people, pain is a massive disruptor that makes this virtually impossible. When we get our wellness right, taking care of ourselves provides a sense of freedom in a life full of chaos. It frees up our minds so we're not worried about how well we're taking care of ourselves.   What are some of the factors that hold us back from vitality? How can we get our mobility right so we get the benefits of exercise? In this episode, I'm joined by health and wellness coach, entrepreneur, and fellow child of the light, Chris DiVecchio.   He shares why he developed the mobility wall, and how to solve the ongoing and worsening health crisis in our world.   Age doesn't dictate how we move, how we age is dictated by how we move. -Chris DiVechhio   Three Things We Learned    -The problem with traditional foam rolling  Before we can exercise effectively, we have to get moving correctly. How do we perfect our mobility?    -Being empowered vs. giving your power away  Are people losing out on a higher quality of life by farming out their health to external parties like doctors?   -Mimicry vs. mastery  Bending your elbow doesn't mean you get a bicep curl - are people missing out on the best shape of their lives by not learning the true fundamentals of fitness?    Guest Bio   Health & Wellness Coach and Entrepreneur, Chris DiVecchio, has been hard at work chasing his passion over the last 20+ years of helping people achieve optimal health and happiness.

We're got another new show coming at you this week and we're talking all about Fitness!We're changing this show up just a bit, and combing two guest interviews from Chad Austin and Chris DiVecchio.We thought it would be fun to combine two similar perspectives as we talk about turning your fitness routines into habits and then a lifestyle.It's so important to create healthy habits if you want to see sustainable lasting changes. And these guests are the perfect guys to bring that all together.

My philosophy of 1 v.s. 23 suggests that the 1 hour a day you workout is important but it's the choices you make with the other 23 hours of your day that have a much greater impact on the quality of your overall health and happiness. I use a three-fold approach that focuses on nutrition, training and vitamin supplementation to target what I call preventative health & wellness. The key component to his program is accountability coaching. I take the time to properly educate each client while honing their skills with time management and stress management to show just how easy it is to eliminate the excuses and get results. https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisdivecchio/

I wanted to drop in and interrupt Season Two for a moment. I thought since so many of us have busy lives and we don't always have time to listen to a whole hour podcast episode, I wanted to make sure you don't miss such valuable words shared by the previous guests on the show. At the end of every episode I ask two questions to every guest. The answers that were given were profound and impactful. So in this episode I put together a compilation of all the wonderful guests on Season One that answered the question: What is a piece of advice you would have given yourself when you were younger? And these are the answers given...

He founded Premier Mind & Body, a wellness and coaching company based out of Los Angeles, and is the author of 5x2 Method: Revealing the Power of Your Senses.

It’s my own approach that I’ve applied to my own life.” “80% of my clientele I work with right now are C-level executives who have spent the majority of their lives building their success and wealth at the expense of their health and wellness.” “It’s not always about doing more; sometimes it’s about doing less.” “If I can think it, it’s possible. Let’s do this, let’s find a way.” “You can’t force transformation down somebody’s throat. People have to be ready for that.” “I’ve turned what turned out to be one of the biggest losses into the biggest win.” “The outside gets fixed when the inside gets fixed.” Mentions: Aesthetic Revolution, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jim Kwik, Nike Guest Links:Chris’ homepage - https://www.chrisdivecchio.com/ Emergency 7 - https://www.emergency7.com/product-launch-sales-page25207804 Chris on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisdivecchio/   Visit Brandon’s website at www.BrandsOnBrandsOnBrands.com Join the Brand Growth Community on Facebook at www.brandonbrands.com/community And please leave a rating and review on iTunes!

Focusing on any type of negative thought pattern doesn't serve you and it spends all of your energy.

JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THIS PODCAST*   On Wellness Force Radio episode 266, Trainer, Founder of Premier Mind & Body, and Creator of both The 5x2 Method and Emergency7, Chris DiVecchio, discusses the impact of how his parents raised him affected future relationships, how he sets his trajectory for the day with the 5x2 Method, how you can take adult inventory to let go of old weight, and the skill set he developed to not dwell on negative thoughts for too long as an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).

The 5x2 Method Click here to get your copy of The 5x2 Method Did you know you use at least one of your five senses every moment of the day, even when you are asleep? Each sense has its own special power, but it is when they are used in combination that we create those unforgettable experiences. We all have a set of daily habits that tend to dull our senses and encourage us to lead a pretty basic life of existence. We often find ourselves in the vicious cycle of wake up, repeat and go to sleep. Chirs DiVecchio developed the 5x2 method to help wake those senses back up and create a whole new way of thinking, acting, being and doing so that you can start living the life of happiness you deserve! As we know, the five senses are controlled by five organs: Touch - Touch has a memory Sound - Music to your ears Taste - Taste the rainbow Sight - The windows to the soul Smell - Stop and smell the roses In this book, Chris breaks each sense down in detail to help you understand a bit more how they can be used to shift you into a more positive state of being.   "Having control over how I look, feel, and take care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually costs me nothing. I don't have to pay a cent to register, process, and choose my thoughts and feelings." - Chris DiVecchio  Listen To Episode 266 As Chris DiVecchio Uncovers: What his upbringing was like with such loving parents that he sought out "tough" guidance from his friends' parents. The varying degrees of trauma that people might experience from neglect to no support from their family. Why there's nothing better to him than to make a living to make a difference. How he was able to find general peace and happiness throughout each day with the 5x2 Method even though he wasn't making a lot of money as an actor. Which of the 5x2 Methods help people the most go from doing nothing to creating something. The healing process that the current fitness industry is going through to focus more on wellness. Why he gives his clients a Giving Key necklace as part of working with him on their wellness journey. The deep questions he asks clients to really know who he's working with at their core. The common fear of taking a photo at the start of a weight loss transition and why we shouldn't feel that way. Why we naturally want to deal with what we need to focus on when the stakes are higher. Why losing weight will never be the end of our wellness journey. How to approach working with a new client when they're currently a client of another personal trainer you know. Why you have to be a greater listener to be a great trainer. What lessons we can learn when we pay more attention to something and see all of its benefits and worth. His unique connection to animals throughout his life and how they inspired the 5x2 Method. The biggest lesson that he's learning and teaching at the same time. How he implements his spiritual side to his training and helps his clients do the same. Why he doesn't believe in "good vibes only" with his optimistic outlook and will do the inner work with his deeper emotions. Why being given too much love as a kid was a problem for him as he grew up into adulthood and explored different relationships. About his other program, The E7 (Emergency 7), which is a 7-day protocol to help people naturally drop weight by their target date for a specific event such as a wedding. Power Quotes From The Show "If you feel good emotionally, then 9 times out of 10, your body is going to match that." - Chris DiVecchio "The growing fitness trend of using performance-enhancing supplements has its place but the healing process is really what people are focusing on now. Our main concern today is caring about how we feel rather than how we look. That's where the world of fitness and wellness is going. We're now realizing that if you feel good, then 9/10 times your body is going to match that vibration." - Chris DiVecchio "I had to put in an insane amount of trust that I was doing the right thing and I was in the right space. For me to freak out, panic, or to buy into any type of negative thought pattern I have right now, it's just not going to serve me. If I have control over how I look, feel, and take care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, then I have to do that at least. That costs me nothing; I don't have to pay a cent to register, process, and choose my thoughts and feelings." - Chris DiVecchio "Taking inventory is important in order to look back and reflect on your lifestyle situations, habits, or traumas. Being able to learn from past experiences and dissect some of the emotional turmoil that you've been through without allowing yourself to get stuck in it is a skill. A lot of people don't get as deep in their past to clear house is because they're afraid of what they might see along that journey." - Chris DiVecchio "Forget about discipline; discipline doesn't mean anything. What we actually need to do right now is care. The people who are at the top of their game in optimal health and wellness are those who care enough about themselves and care enough about their bodies to focus on what contributes to a healthy looking vessel." - Chris DiVecchio   Links From Today's Show Chris DiVecchio Facebook Instagram Twitter Premier Mind & Body Facebook Twitter The 5x2 Method Emergency7 Man loses 70 pounds after his poker buddies bet him $1M that he couldn't TED Talk with Joshua Klein: A thought experiment on the intelligence of crows In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts with Dr. Gabor Mate The 5 Love Languages The Giving Keys Shawn Stevenson WFR 058 Rob Dionne WFR 242 Aaron Hinde About Chris DiVecchio Chris DiVecchio, Founder & Trainer, brings a wealth of self-development transformation mixed with a very practical technique to his fitness training.

After clients were coming to him time and time again frustrated from not getting the results they wanted in the gym, Chris started to develop programs that incorporated more of the mind and lifestyle adjustments in addition to the physical work. The 5 x 2 method is a process that reveals the power of your senses that Chris developed to help you tap into the present moment. This process helps you find more peace, gratitude and mindfulness in your life while at the same time sends your body positive feedback loops. In order to get the physical results you want, you must look at your mental health and lifestyle choices. Chris includes nutrition, mindfulness and sleep routines to help clients get the results they want while at the same time gaining more self love and energy to focus on the things they really love. The physical results come as proxy when you incorporate this work, Chris explains . Find Chris at: https://www.pmblife.com/ @chrisdivecchio

Every day you're just stacking another penny. If you're not doing something every single day to contribute to that pile, then the pile is going down.- Chris DiVecchio on the importance of being consistent with a healthy lifestyle.   Author of The 5x2 Method, Founder & Trainer of Premier Mind & Body, Chris DiVecchio joined us for a very special podcast episode. In fact, I don't think I've ever had a guest quite like him. You see, Chris helped a client, Walter Fisher, win $1 million in a bet to lower his body fat composition. It was quite the challenge, but Chris helped Walter make it happen!   Click here for the entire show notes Please leave us a review at http://reviewourpodcast.com Join our Open Sky Fitness Podcast Facebook Group! Do the 7 Day Paleo Reset!   Not only will you hear all about that story from Chris, but we also covered the following topics including answer a question from the Open Sky Fitness Podcast Group on Facebook: How do you brace when powerlifting? What part does breath play in weightlifting? What is the difference between glute activation and core bracing? How decreasing body fat composition is different than just losing weight. Why the scale is not the only way to measure your body's health. How creating a false sense of high stakes can actually help you stay motivated with your goals. About Chris' book, The 5x2 Method, and how it'll help you create greater self-awareness and be present each day in your wellness journey. Examples of how to get in touch with your 5 senses every day for greater self-awareness and happiness. How to begin living for the future. How great things can happen when you begin focusing on yourself and being more open to new opportunities.   The 5x2 Method: Revealing the Power of Your Senses Get your own copy of The 5x2 Method: Revealing the Power of Your Senses by Chris DiVecchio Did you know you use at least one of your five senses every moment of the day, even when you are asleep? Each sense has its own special power, but it is when they are used in combination that we create those unforgettable experiences. We all have a set of daily habits that tend to dull our senses and encourage us to lead a pretty basic life of existence. We often find ourselves in the vicious cycle of wake up, repeat and go to sleep. I developed the 5x2 method to help wake those senses back up and create a whole new way of thinking, acting, being, and doing so you can start living the life of happiness you deserve!   As we know, the five senses are controlled by five organs: Touch Sound Taste Sight Smell   About Chris DiVecchio Chris DiVecchio, Founder & Trainer of Premier Mind & Body, brings a wealth of self-development transformation mixed with a very practical technique to his fitness training.
