Trigger warning: in today's episode, we're having a powerful discussion around men's mental health, including conversations around suicide + suicidal thoughts, anxiety + panic attacks, and the depths of the dark nights of the soul. Today we're joined by Chase Chewning of Ever Forward Radio , a repeat and continually powerful guest on the show. This past year, Chase has been presented with the challenge of a lifetime - after finally healing from the PTSD of his father's death almost 2 decades ago, Chase was faced with a new challenge: navigating the lowest mental health period he's ever experienced, including debilitating panic attacks. To top it off, this mental health crisis hit him during a period of massive business growth. Today's show is a story not just of resilience, ubt extreme, unfiltered vulnerability of what it means to truly embrace yourself even and especially in your darkest times, the importance of conversations around men's mental health, what it means to "lock it up" so you can do what needs to be done in the moment without being overcome by your feelings, letting past versions of yourself heal and serve you, and how to keep showing up for yourself, your work, and your family even and especially on your worst days. Thank you to Chase for coming fully openly, authentically, and vulnerably to help facillitate one of the most powerful episodes in EMBody Radio history.

"Shadow work." You've probably heard one if not more spiritual gurus talk about it on IG (and... probably butcher it). Today, we're clearing up all the myths and misconception with Shadow Integration Coach, Chris Orozco. In today's show, we talk about what shadow work is, what the shadow is and how it's often misportrayed online, how you can start shadow work, and in true EMBody Radio fashion, hear some powerful personal anecdotes from Chris that show he truly lives his mission. From how he got started working as a shadow work coach, to how he left it completely and found his way back again, to how he took himself through another season of personal alchemy these last 2 years, finding himself more internally challenged than ever before, and how he came out on the other side. We also talk about tactical tools for perfectionists and those who struggle to take action when it comes to building the life they want to live, and why sometimes, we're actually terrified of our dream lives/selves. This episode is so full of value, I know you're going to love it.

Have you ever felt like your body and metabolism just "weren't the same" after years spend trying to diet and get "fit?" Has it ever felt like the more hardcore you got in your fitness pursuits, things actually started backfiring, and you started gaining weight uncontrollably that wouldn't come off, all while developing symptoms like bloating, food intolerances, anxiety, poor digestion, irregular or missing periods, chronic fatigue, and chronic inflammation? And if you said yes, have you ever felt hopeless or like you were destined to be overweight and tired for the rest of your life? Today's guest Vince Pitstick has worked with thousands of women like you and beyond. Vince has spent the last decade diving deep into functional health and nutrition to help with this exact problem. Since he set out on this mission, he's created Nutrition Dynamic, the largest 1-on-1 health coaching company in America, and co-founded Metabolic Mentor University, a program that helps hundreds of health + wellness coaches become certified in functional nutrition so they can carry out their mission of improving their clients' health and lives every single day. On today's show, we're discussing functional nutrition and metabolism, diving into topics such as: -why metabolism goes to shit when we diet for too long -metabolic dysfunction, -how a "hard core" fitness lifestyle can lead to more fat gain and worse health in the long term - the concept of "metabolic forgiveness" - the impact of our emotional state + mindset on food influences nutrient metabolism - the path forward to restoring metabolism after years of chronic dieting, menopause, chronic illness, and more Check out Vince on EMBody Radio: 5 Signs of Metabolic Dysfunction Check out Vince on EMBody Radio: Post Contest Dieting and Metabolic Adaptation FOLLOW VINCE ON IG Metabolic Mentor University YouTube Channel Metabolic Mentor University Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?

We've all found ourselves stuck, burnt out, or otherwise questioning our life's path and purpose at some point in our lives. Maybe you've found yourself in that position while also trying to work through challenging experiences from years and years ago all at the same time. Or maybe you've just found yourself in a state of curiosity about life, your beliefs, and what you're meant to do with your time here on Earth. And maaaaaybe you've found yourself in a state of curiosity about psychedelics as tools for healing, growth, and becoming. Today we're joined by my good friend and 3-peat EMBody Radio guest, Chase Chewning. We're diving in to Chase's most recent journey of becoming, his foray into the world of psychedelics, using entheogens like MDMA and psilocybin as tools for changing your state and becoming more connected to the world and people around you, one of the best ways to shift away from burnout, how ketamine assisted therapy helped Chase navigate PTSD from the loss of his father, and learning the true duality of how little we matter as water droplets in the river of life, and how important we are to that river at the same time.  This show is for entertainment and educational purposes only and we are not condoning the use of illegal or uncontrolled substances.

Change of pace with this week's episode as I wanted to bring you an interview I did awhile ago with my good friend Emily Duncan on her show Embody Radio. When is the last time you cleaned your house? I will assume (hopefully) it was recently. Why don't we take this same action with our bodies on a regular basis? My guest today is the amazing Taylor Sappington and immediately when we got on the call we just started talking. It took about halfway through to realize I hadn't introduced her yet but what we were talking about was so important and wide-ranging, I couldn't stop. I hope you find a lot of value out of this episode and use some of these practical tips Taylor shared with us. Topics covered today include:   - Informed Consent Misconceptions and Lack of Knowledge on Prescriptions - Evolution of Stress and Cortisol - Why Functional Detoxification is Essential - Who Taylor Sappington Is - Postpartum Depression Signs and Symptoms - The 17 Year Research Evidence Separation - Copper IUD and Copper Toxicity - My Yeast Infection and Side Effects - Essential Liver Care - Bowel Movement and How to Increase Effectiveness - Digestive Enzyme Supplements - Gut Health Tips - Where to Find Taylor ---------------------------- Follow Emily on Instagram! ---------------------------- Click Here to Apply to Work with Me or visit taylorsappington.com/application ---------------------------- Follow Me on Instagram! @tayloredwellbeing - https://www.instagram.com/tayloredwellbeing/

Sleep. What a beautiful and essential thing, amirite? I'm right. I don't know about yall, but I can handle getting a little hangry. But if my sleep is messed up? All bets are off. The last 6-8 years, largely as a byproduct of being a general health enthusiast and also investing a lot of time and energy into competitive bodybuilding, learning how to optimize my sleep has been a huge priority.   Sleep is one of our biggest forms of recovery, right up there with our nutrition. If we can harness the power of good sleep, everything from our mood to our fat loss to our performance to our blood sugar regulation improves.   Today's episode is coming from someone who has devoted quite a bit of time and effort into optimizing a lesser-appreciated aspect of our sleep: your pillow.   Yep, that's right, your pillow.   We've heard from all the fancy mattress companies, and yall know how much I love my performa sleep mattress, but I foolishly never thought to give my pillows much thought. I knew I was picky with pillows, which you'll hear more about on the episode, but I didn't know we could actually have… an optimized pillow for our sleep needs and preferences????   Today we're chatting with Susana Saeliu, the co-founder and CEO of Pluto Pillow. Susana started experiencing neck pain in 2017 and found that the main offender was her pillow. So, she set out to create a company that solved pillow problems around the world through crafting the perfect pillow.   Thus, Pluto Pillow, the first and only custom sleep pillow that's crafted to your body stats, how you sleep, and what you like, was born. At Pluto, they take in all sorts of stats and preferences to help build a pillow that's truly bespoke to you and your needs for your best sleep experience yet. Today we're talking all things sleep hygiene, being a female in the entrepreneurial space, and finding your voice as a woman in business. This episode is so inspiring, and Susana really does bring something so fresh and amazing to the business space. Annnnd if you're looking to treat yourself to a Pluto Pillow ofyour own, they're offering EMBody Radio listeners an exclusive discount of 10% off your custom pluto pillow with the code EMBODY at checkout on plutopillow.com. Once again, that's code EMBODY for 10% off your Pluto Pillow of plutopillow.com   Annnnd to sweeten the dreams a little further, I have a very exciting announcement from our partners over at Cured Nutrition, and that's the NEW Cured Nutrition CBN night caps. These have 30mg cbd, 5mg cbn, 1.5mg thc. Great to stack with Zen. It's a little stronger than the CBN tincture, so if you're ready to have the easiest time falling and staying asleep, this is the one for you.

Goooood morning EMBody Radio family! Today we're here for the first solo episode in a long time. For today's show, I wanted to dig into some reflections from my readings and notes from a book that has been changing my life: "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD. This episode in particular is reviewing the story of La Loba, The Wolf Woman, the collector of bones. I'm digging into my reflections from this story and how it's played out in my life in real time (including some of my experiences in Sedona), some of the heavy emotions it's been guiding me through, and some of the "bones" of my own that I've been gathering. I've also included some question prompts for YOU all and I really invite you to sit (preferably with a nice cup of tea or coffee or whatever your thing is) and journal/reflect on them to improve your own self understanding, intuition, and inner alignment. I hope you enjoy and you learn something about yourself. Thank you for listening. ---- Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

Have you ever spent 10 full minutes in complete silence, no music, no journaling, no TV, no computer/phone, no humming, no talking, no... anything? I don't know if I have. Today's guest, Shane Heath, spent a full 10 DAYS in total silence at a recent retreat. While Shane is better known for being the owner and founder of MUDWTR, a coffee alternative consisting of organic ingredients lauded by cultures old and young for their health and performance benefits, today's conversation centered around Shane's recent meditation experience and all the tangible takeaways from it.  In today's show, Shane takes us through all the lows and the highs of 10 days of complete silence, spending over 8 hours a day meditating, his journey of learning what some of his personal "drugs" are (including work and finding self-worth through his job), developing intuition and deeper physical and emotional awareness, Shane's passion for the wellbeing of his employees at MUDWTR, the future of entrepreneurship, deeper wisdom, and how the simple act of removing things from your life can actually give you more.

Today we have a crowd favorite back on the show: the one, the only, Nick Komodina.  Nick is a long time friend, basically my brother.

It was a real pleasure speaking with Zach for this week's episode. Talk about someone with a real passion for life, and a spiritual connection to what he does for others. Super easy to listen to his show, too, since it's in easy 1-minute bites. And he gives you a minute worth thinking about. I think Mary Catherine will certainly grow up in a world where her parents will always let her know how special she is to them. After our conversation, I got him Dan Young's (my previous guest, who hosts Total Wellness Radio) contact info. I think even if they don't end up on each other's podcast, they would still have a great conversation about living a healthy life. But fingers crossed for networking. Also! All meat, all the time? Is it too late to eat that (thank you, Sherpa Bride!)? Who needs a coach? And, does the Master's Tournament of Disc Golf give you a green jacket, or a ladder to get your Frisbee off the roof?

On today's episode of EMBody Radio, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Nick Komodina. In a world full of people who aren't who they portray themselves to be online, Nick is the absolute opposite of that. I’ll allow Nick to introduce himself, but if there’s anything I can say about him, it’s that he’s not only who he portrays himself to be online, he’s a lot more than that as well. We get into a lot of deep shit on this episode, and I really feel like you’re going to walk away from today’s show feeling inspired, more aware of yourself and the boxes you place yourself in, and overall more equipped to live unabashedly as YOU, and nobody else.   What you'll hear today:  -Growing up with his mom in a trailer park -How nothing is certain -Getting screwed in his first business endeavor and starting over from scratch opening his own gym, NK Fitness -How he hurt his own business by developing a “God complex” -Trying and failing over and over and over again to succeed -Opporutnity and what to do with it -What it truly means to give your best -Lessons in humility -Being OPEN and un-caging yourself because of fear -Learning how to “be a man” and what that means to him -The misconceptions surrounding the idea of the “alpha male” -Self care from the male perspective -The danger of not prioritizing love in your life -Being proud of your accomplishments -Getting one percent better every day -So many more wisdom nuggets! ------------ WHERE TO FIND NICK Instagram Shop Impakt (and use code EMDUNC for a lil discount) YouTube ------------ WHERE TO FIND ME Instagram YouTube Website

Everyone talks about "metabolism." Slow metabolisms, fast metabolisms, metabolic adaptation, stubborn metabolisms, all that. But... what actually is "your metabolism?" Can you point to it?  Today's episode was inspired by a follower question essentially asking me to help her better understand what "metabolism" actually means. So lets talk allllll about -what "metabolism" actually is from a physical perspective (definition time) -what metabolism practically means -the different components of your metabolism -how those components change/adapt in various scenarios -what having a "slow" or "fast" metabolism actually means -a couple examples of why and how metabolisms adapt to periods of low energy -how metabolic rate is tested -lots more! ----------------- Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic.

Steroids, particularly anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), are very popular in all sports, but particularly strength and physique sports (bodybuilding, Weightlifting, powerlifting, and Crossfit). There's a huge taboo around AAS, but an even bigger taboo surrounding women and androgen use. I'm so excited to bring you part 2 with Victoria Felkar, a researcher whose research is quite literally titled, "Women and Steroids." We're diving into that exact topic in this episode. Today we talk about: -Side effects of high levels of androgens in women (whether they have endogenous hyper-androgenism or they're supplementing with androgens) -Are the side effects of high androgens permanent? -Managing female anabolic androgenic steroid use -Coming off of AAS  -Hormonal and systemic changes when you take androgens/systems effected when you're on androgens -Things you need to do to regain normal health/function after using AAS -How long does it take to regain normal health after drug use -Is there an intelligent/"healthy" way that women can use anabolics -Being a conscious consumer of your own health -The ignorance surrounding women and AAS -The anabolic:androgenic ratio and what it means -Are your symptoms from AAS or are they something else? -Polypharmacy in steroid use -The purity of non-pharmaceutical AAS -So much more! ---------------- Find Victoria here:  Instagram Website Period Tracker ----------------- Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic.

Do you take or have you taken hormonal birth control? Do you understand your own menstrual cycle? Have you ever tried to go off birth control and had an awful time trying to regain your natural cycle?  Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Victoria Felkar once again.

After many sessions and conversations with Ethan, I knew I needed to bring him on the show to share his knowledge. Ethan is a competitive bodybuilder himself, and he also runs his own physical therapy practice, Bodies By Brown Physical Therapy, with his wife, Kaitlyn. With his experience in bodybuilding, Ethan has a unique perspective as a PT as it pertains to bodybuilding-style training. Today we talk about: - how to avoid/minimize tight glute meds (usually from overuse of resistance bands) - fixing over active traps - stabilizing the rotator cuffs  - best exercises for developing the parts of your shoulders you WANT to develop - shoulder workouts that minimize trap involvement - how to improve your posture and why - lots more! ---------------- Find Bodies By Brown here: Website Instagram ----------------------- Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. Four Sigmatic provides the best in adaptogenic/therapeutic mushroom products. You’ve seen me post about this stuff on Instagram and IG stories all the time, and I wanted to take a sec to tell you a little more about them today. I started using them because I love adaptogens, and many of their mushroom products are just that – adaptogens. Adaptogens basically help you respond better to physical and emotional stress. I run a business, run multiple social media platforms that tie into my business, I’m a student, and I have a life outside of all that that I’m trying to live, so stress management is key. Mushrooms can also be used to help everything from your gut health to your skin. My favorites are the Lion's Mane Mushroom Elixir and the Mushroom Hot Cacao with Reishi...

This week's episode of EMBody Radio hits near and dear to my heart. As someone who struggled with amenorrhea, was misdiagnosed with PCOS, and was tired of being dismissed by OBGYN after OBGYN because I was "lean and athletic, so not having a period is normal," period talk is SO important to me. As women, it's our job to be our own advocate and stick up for ourselves and our reproductive health. Today I'm joined by author Nicola Rinaldi behind the book No Period, Now What?, a book that absolutely changed my life when it came to learning about my body, my periods, why they weren't happening, and why they matter so much. On today's episode, we talk about:  -What is hypothalamic amenorrhea? (HA) -Why are periods important?  -What causes HA? -Birth control and it's implications for losing your period. -Energy availability and what that means for your period. (Be sure to check out Nicola's blog post on the topic as well!) -Differentiating between PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and HA. -How to recover from HA. -How to psychologically deal with gaining weight/taking time off from training to recover. -... so much more! ----------------- Find Nico here: http://www.noperiodnowwhat.com/ **PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET THIS BOOK!** No Period, Now What? Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/noperiodnowwhat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/noperiodnowwhat/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/noperiodnowwhat ----------------- Find me here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/em_dunc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/em_dunc https://www.emilyduncanfitness.com    

On today's episode of EMBody Radio, I had the pleasure of interviewing Sohee Lee. Sohee and I have followed each other on social media for a while now, and she is AWESOME. She has a degree in Human Biology from Stanford and is completing her Master's degree in Psychology as it relates to Eating Habits. Today we're talking all things food psychology, the psychology of fat loss, focusing on sustainability, making the diet fit the client and not the other way around, shifting our mindsets around food, and so much more. Everyone out there who has ever dieted will be able to both relate to and learn from this episode. Find Sohee here:  "Eat. Lift.

It’s where we do the majority of our recovering from training, it’s what leaves us feeling fresh and ready to get after it the following day, and it’s extremely important for maintaining hormonal balance within the body. If you aren’t getting a good night’s sleep, you’re missing out on a huge portion of your fitness journey. I’ve been using a PerformaSleep mattress for over a year now, and my sleep has never been better. Every PerformaSleep mattress has this thing called CopperGel Technology, which offers a cooler nights sleep and  added support where needed.  It helps you’re your spine in proper alignment, which helps prevent any back pain.  It also doesn't use traditional memory foam. Instead, they use Enersorb. Enersorb cradles your body to alleviate pressure, but also has a little bounce to it. So instead of sinking into a bed, it’s like floating right on top of a comfy cloud. The top of each mattress is made with TenCel, a wicking fabric that helps you sleep cooler. On top of that, all Performa Sleep mattress are made right at home here in the US. I can honestly say I can’t imagine not sleeping on a Performa Sleep mattress now that I’ve had one for so long. If you want to start getting the best sleep of your life, head over to PerformaSleep.com and use the code “EMILY125” for $125 off your mattress. ---------------------- Find me here: https://www.emilyduncanfitness.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/em_dunc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/em_dunc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/emdunc

It is very rare when our guest can trace their trigger moment all the way back to early childhood. Emily Duncan's came at about age 8 when her dance instructor made a comment about her body type that sent her down a dark spiral of eating disorders, body dysmorphia and spent years trying to find a healthy balance and relationship with food again. Emily found an immense source of help and internal motivation once she started strength training. From there she became a professional bikini competitor, competing in over a dozen shows and even taking first place in her class in 2016 at the NPC Jr. USA National Championships.  This episode can be summarized by this amazing quote from Emily: "Don't rely on the energy of the outside world to fuel you. Find out what makes YOU strong and what makes YOU awesome, and run with it." Emily lives a life ever forward through TENACITY - in fact it is her apparel line - and you will find an abundance of it in this episode and in her story.  Emily is a Bodybuilding.com, PESciecne and Gymshark athlete.

While I've shared a good bit of my life, my past, and my story via social media, I've never really dove in and got into the nitty gritty of it. From being body shamed at 8 years old, to developing an eating disorder in high school, I've gone through a bit of body struggles... Ultimately, those struggles are what made me strong and are why I have fallen in love with the fitness industry - it has empowered me to be ME, not to fit a mold, whether that be physically or emotionally. Listen to this episode to learn about my story, where the Wonder Woman Mentality came from, and where I'm going from here.  Find me on social: Twitter/IG: @em_dunc YouTube: www.YouTube.com/EmDunc www.emilyduncanfitness.com
