This week’s conversation is with NFL Hall-of-Famer Ronnie Lott.Ronnie has been a champion and a leader his entire life.After graduating high school in 1977, Ronnie went on to the University of Southern California where he helped his team win the 1978 national championship. He was a unanimous All-American and team captain in 1980 and graduated in 1981 with a degree in public administration.Shortly thereafter, he became the first-round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers.His legendary football career included four Super Bowl titles and 10 Pro-Bowl appearances.He is one of only five 49ers to play on all of the team’s 1980s Super Bowl wins. He retired from professional football in 1994 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000.Post-football, Ronnie has found success as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist in Silicon Valley and also has a long history of philanthropic involvement.So what has allowed Ronnie to be successful at pretty much everything he’s done in his life?It starts with a commitment to excellence, a determination to be great, and his relentless will to keep trying.For Ronnie it really comes down to “exhausting every moment.”What I hope you pick up on in this conversation is that Ronnie’s thoughts and actions reflect a man who’s had the courage to go for it, a man who hasn’t feared the consequences of coming up short.In Ronnie’s words: “You’ve got to dare at moments to see that you can do certain things. Sometimes you fail and sometimes you win. But the most important part of it is, did you try? Did you try to do something that maybe nobody thought you could do? “ ------Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

  Holistic health mastery comes with time, patience and often through trial and error. A living testament to that fact is our guest for episode 10 of BiOptimizers' Awesome Health podcast, my good friend Ronnie Landis. Ronnie is a former martial arts expert and Olympic hopeful who changed paths in his 20s to pursue holistic health through vegan and raw foods. He has become a master in this arena and he's here today to talk about the turning points in his journey, and his top three recommendations to start making changes to your health. Join us on this edition of BiOptimizers' Awesome Health podcast to hear those topics, and more. More About Awesome Health with Ronnie Landis Today Ronnie is a savant and master of his holistic health craft, but his passions began elsewhere when he was a child. From the age of 4 he was raised as a martial artist. He recalls his first conscious memory being Bruce Lee's movie, Enter The Dragon. Not surprisingly, Ronnie grew up to pursue a career in Taekwondo and basketball. He was an Olympic hopeful for Olympic-style Taekwondo and would later walk away from a try-out with the Golden State Warriors (a National Basketball Association team in the U.S.). What drove him to pursue excellence in both of these arenas was the exploration of his potential as a human. These two passions consumed him until he was 19 when he began considering the health aspect of performance. He understood his eating habits were not sustainable (he was eating crap, he admits) and his body was starting to experience some wear and tear from his athletic pursuits. He re-evaluated his food and lifestyle choices, turning to organic food. Then slowly he started to get into whole foods, grass-fed chicken, raw milk, etc. The Power of Plants and Raw Foods A few years later he realized his dharma was to be a role model for plant-based nutrition, which came about when he had his second knee surgery. A lot of light bulbs went off at the time - he realized performance was important but so was recovery. After his two knee surgeries, he didn't know how he was going to pursue his athletic career and was riding on faith. Then his awareness shifted to the power of plants in the human body. He started eating more fruit and vegetables, and going to the farmers markets. He became educated on raw food nutrition, the biggest epiphany for him as well as the practice of barefoot grounding. When switching to 100% plant foods and raw, he noticed within 30 days he could run 5 miles in the hills without pain - something he had been scared to do for years because of his knees! On a visceral level, he understood his path and his life could change; he felt the reality of living a vegan and raw food diet. He went away from his athletic pursuits and passed on a try-out with the Golden State Warriors. Instead, he was going to become the biggest speaker on the importance of a raw and vegan diet. That was nearly 20 years ago and he's been pursuing that path ever since. Ronnie's Deep Dive Into The Raw and Vegan Lifestyle I wanted to know if there was a person or event that shifted him from exploration into deep dive mode on raw and vegan food as a lifestyle. Ronnie says he began exploring what was out there, going to YouTube and studying the people in this arena. He followed Paul Chek's work and then Marcus Patrick, who has since become a good friend of Ronnie's. Ultimately though, his biggest catalyst was David Wolfe. Ronnie knew if he wanted to master this way of living he had to follow the masters, and David is one of them. About two years after pursuing this way of life, Ronnie went to an event in San Francisco and met David. While that was an incredible experience, what was even more powerful for him was meeting so many people in this industry and discovering the power of the community. To this day many of the people he met there are his closest friends. I asked him if this event in San Francisco was the turning point for him that solidified his desire to be a speaker for the raw and vegan movement. He said absolutely, it was like a veil was lifted for him! He felt inspired and grounded in his direction and saw a new level of his potential. He knew he could be in front of crowds and host events, too. It awoke a reality and he saw this was a career he could follow. For Ronnie, after this event, the logical next step was to write a book. His first book was a little pamphlet-type publication called Activating The Superhuman. He calls it his permission slip to follow the book-writing path. That first book eventually became The LiveIt! Lifestyle: Dropping Diets Forever book. Next he wrote The Life Food Peak Performance System. After those books, he wrote The Holistic Health Mastery Program. This book has also become an online holistic health course. It is an all-encompassing and comprehensive online video-based course that covers the spectrum of raw living food nutrition, plant-based nutrition, superfood nutrition and tonic herbalism. It goes into topics like detoxification strategies, hormone balancing, and neurological health among others. Where to Start On Your Health Journey I asked Ronnie what three things he would do differently if he were starting over, and what his recommendations would be for someone just beginning to change their diet and pursue a healthier way of living. Here's what he said: 1. Water. First, he'd start with water. From a biological and cellular standpoint, hydration is the thing that keeps us going. There are 10 layers of water molecules that surround our cells and over time they become dehydrated. Then our cells shrivel up and this leads to mutations, mutations can lead to disease formations. He starts people on water and this makes the most amount of shifts. Raw living foods are rich in water so when someone drinks more water or eats a cucumber, celery, fruit or other water-rich food they tend to feel better. Their brain is clearer, their blood sugar improves as does any cardiovascular issues they may have. Everything is like fish flakes in the water tank, and unless you clean the water the fish flakes (aka our food) doesn't work as well. Personally, he's a spring water enthusiast but as a general rule he says to find the best water you can given your circumstances. Then start your day by drinking 1 liter of water every morning to flush out byproducts and acid crystals. By doing so you are freeing up the impactions that have built up through dehydration in the intestines, this helps flush yourself out and then hydrate again before eating your breakfast. 2. Healthy digestion. The second recommendation he has is healthy digestion. Ronnie shares what has he personally learned about digestion, its importance and the trends he sees in his clients. He's uncovered a lot of information about infectious organisms, pathogens, and parasites, as well as candida in its various forms, bacteria, etc. From his experience, everyone who has grown up on an American lifestyle of diet and medical treatments (like antibiotics) has had or has a dysbiosis if they haven't healed it. But Ronnie says if you give up processed food and factory-raised animal products, your body will start to alert you to what it is sensitive to and what it is not. It'll show you if you have an immune compromise or a digestive compromise. An example of this is constipation. If you have elimination issues like Ronnie did, then you know that transit is blocked up and something is out of balance in your digestion. A healthy elimination process is 3-4 times a day, based on what he has learned in his research and what he experienced after he healed his gut. 3. Add organic, living foods to your diet. His third recommendation if you are starting out is to introduce organic, living food into your diet. Try more fresh fruits, veggies, soaked and sprouted nuts and seeds, fresh grass sprouts and fermented foods and green veggie juices. An easy thing to do is to add one salad to your diet, top it with fermented vegetables and healthy raw fats like avocado and cold-press extra virgin olive oil. After giving us his top three recommendations for shifting your health, Ronnie and I also discuss the mistakes he has made personally. That discussion leads to an immeasurably valuable lesson from him about recognizing if you have an unhealthy addiction to anything, whether it be food, alcohol, intimacy, relationships, finances, etc. Finally, we wrap up with a few questions including the most interesting health field he is studying right now, the newest health practice he is doing and his daily routine.

Welcome to Season 8, Episode 37 of the ParentingAces Podcast! My guest this week is Coach Todd Widom discussing how he helped his player, Ronnie Hohmann, prepare for the US Open Juniors. A big thank-you to Colette Lewis of ZooTennis for the photo! Of course, it's "just another junior tournament". However, winning the US Open Juniors is often a stepping stone to a successful collegiate and professional career, so preparing properly can be key. For Ronnie, this is literally his Home Slam since he grew up very close to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, and there might be some added pressure on him as local friends and family come out to see him play. Handling that pressure, according to Todd, will be one of the keys to Ronnie's success this week. As promised in the podcast, here are links to the ITF and USTA Pro Circuit Tournament pages:  USTA Pro Circuit Events ITF Events - Men ITF Events - Women If you would like to contact Todd Widom, you can find him on Facebook and Instagram or email him at todd@twtennis.com.

Everything in moderation. It’s a saying we’ve all heard, but mastering it might just be the key to health and happiness. For example, it’s good to be challenged at work to stop boredom setting in, but too much pressure can lead to being flooded with stress hormones. Basically, it’s all about the sweet spot in the middle - something that snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan has found over the course of his career. The five-time World Champion has struggled with various addictions throughout his life, but by embracing moderation he has made a spectacular return to number one in the world rankings at an age when many players are past their prime. In this episode of DTMTS, Ronnie talks to Simon Mundie about the lessons he’s learnt along his journey. He reveals plenty, from his experience with ringing the Samaritans during his first World Championship win, to how he used running as a tool to manage his emotional state. His relationship with running at times became excessive, as did his relationship with food, drink and drugs. Ronnie explains how learning to exercise restraint in all areas of life, including in planning his playing schedule, has extended his career and left him feeling healthier and happier. He also talks about the importance of accepting his addictive nature rather than trying to fight against it, how top sports psychiatrist Professor Steve Peters helped him, and how he uses nutrition to ensure he is happy and healthy in both body and mind. For Ronnie it’s about being the best version of himself he can be - and embracing moderation is his secret weapon.

Ronnie Doss has spent over a decade building a successful career as a speaker, trainer, and author. For an episode of Kevin & Fred's Next Level Podcast, I talked to Ronnie about his story and how he got to where he is today. You might have guessed that there's no exact path to becoming a professional speaker. For Ronnie, it started when getting sick during junior year of college led him to take a medical leave of absence and discovering that he was ready to take his life in another direction. Later, after speaking at his father's funeral, Ronnie was invited to speak at a church. From there, his career in motivating and inspiring others began. Things didn't just fall into place. It took hard work, determination, and practice to build the skills that would set him apart from the competition. “Don't complain about the results you get from the commitment you weren't willing to make,” Ronnie says in the podcast, while sharing stories about the hours spent practicing talks, including some conversations with a crowd of stuffed animals. If you've never heard Ronnie speak in person, you're missing out. He's done leadership trainings and speaking engagements for Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, top universities, and even NASA. There's one “secret” that Ronnie says helps him connect no matter where his career takes him – being present with people by meeting them where they're at. That's a lesson that can be used in any industry. Click to visit Ronnie's website for more information and to book him for your next event.

Ronnie Schildknecht may not be a household name. But he should be. Why? because nobody in history has logged a faster Ironman on the soil of this continent faster than Ronnie. This is a guy who won Ironman Florida in 2011 in 7 hours and 59 minutes. An Ironman in under 8 hours!Just how fast is that? After swimming 2.4 miles in the ocean in 51 minutes, imagine getting on your bike and riding 112 miles at an average pace of almost 26mph for 4 hours and 19 minutes straight. Then imagine getting off your bike and running a steady 6 minute to 6:15 pace to clock a blazing 2:43 marathon.Not enough for you? When Ronnie won Ironman Zurich this summer, he became the only athlete to have won a single Ironman race seven years in a row consecutively.Beyond his incomprehensible athletic achievements, Ronnie is a man of soft-spoken disposition and considerate nature. A guy more comfortable letting others bask in the limelight while allowing his race results speak on his behalf. Refreshing.What I found most compelling is how Ronnie's training has evolved over the last few years to a protocol that dispenses with the knee-jerk conventional wisdom of high volume and places more emphasis on high intensity quality work; recovery; mental preparation & visualization; and a protracted taper beyond his previous comfort zone.Ronnie's evolution into the elite athlete he is today has required developing a greater understanding of — and confidence in — what specifically works for him — irrespective of the opinions of others, recommended training protocols, or the flavor of the month diet or training plan.What works for him. Powerful. And simple. Yet something that nonetheless can be so elusive and difficult to embrace. For Ronnie, it didn't come easy at first — his sub-par Kona performances since his blazing 4th place in 2008 attributable to overtraining and not listening to what his body was telling him. Why? Because trusting one's instincts can prove incredibly difficult without extreme personal confidence and practiced mental discipline. A strong internal compass capable of muting the outside world. Healthy boundaries. And a profound sense of self.Whether you are an athlete yourself or just a fan, Ronnie's message of personal responsibility and self-awareness is powerful — principles that transcend sport — applicable to life wherever you find yourself.And I have no doubt that after listening to this interview, like me you'll be a Ronnie fan, ready to cheer him on to Ironman victory in Kona.I hope you enjoy the show.PS – Here's a really nice video from Ironman.com profiling Ronnie in his lead up to winning his 7th consecutive Ironman Zurich.
