In this episode of Your Dairy Checkoff Podcast, join our dairy farmer hosts, Wisconsin's Laurie Winkelman and West Virginia's Joe Shockey, as they have a conversation with Liz Jalkiewicz, registered dietitian and the nutrition specialist with the American Dairy Association North East, and Julie Ostrow, registered dietitian and the Vice President of dairy experience and wellness with Midwest Dairy, about why farmers might not see dairy's benefits shared more broadly in the area of sports nutrition? It's easy to feel frustrated seeing social influencers touting dairy alternatives on the internet or other non-dairy options promoted at your local gym but that's where your checkoff dollars come in, prompting evidence-based information to influential audiences to set the record straight. The work dairy checkoff is doing in the realm of sports nutrition range anywhere from targeting high school athletes, enhancing college athletics programs, and providing dairy nutrition education and outreach programs to health professionals that can include sports dietitians. Learn more as these two experts discuss how checkoff is partnering with credentialed health professionals to spread the goodness of dairy and how even farmers can share this information with their local athletic groups.  To learn more about the national dairy checkoff and your local dairy checkoffs, please visit www.usdairy.com.

Her background includes stand up comedy, improv with the famous Second City Chicago troupe, humorous speaker and communication coach who teaches, trains and leads with laughter. Discussing boundary setting and life shifts after the world-wide "pause", Ostrow and Olson dig into behind the scenes of performing, the importance of laughter, identifying grief in life's changes and humor as a coping mechanism.

Don't question yourself so much.... just try it."Julie can be found on Instagram, LinkedIn, www.julieostrow.com and once in a while on "the Face Place."

Todays guest is a lady who believes that there is nothing better in life than a good laugh. And although many of us do this, when a close relative falls over, or some other unexpected rib tickler occurs not many of us ever think of bringing this merriment into our business lives. You don't go to work to enjoy yourself, appears to be the mantra that so many people live their lives by after all. But when you consider the health benefits that chuckling can bring to you, such as a huge boost to the immune System by releasing endorphins, protecting the heart by improving the function of blood vessels, and helping to bring about better sleep then its simply not something to laugh about. We should all be doing it more, and certainly making sure we do it whilst at work too. And so our guest over the last fifteen years has taken this approach into the corporate world where, she coaches individuals and teams to reconnect, communicate, and be more productive...through humor, laughter, and improvisation. She wants us to find the childlike side of our characters and bring it once more to the fore. Be the person we were before life became serious and paying the bills became our number one focus. And with the honour of being crowned the American Laughing Champion of 2013, where she fought her way to the top prize by demonstrating such high class cackling as best maniacal laugh, best multiplex laugh and the best laughing fit, there is no doubt she has the credentials to educate, and inspire whilst entertaining too. So when did she find that there was a need to bring this kind of thinking into the corporate arena? And what the hell is the best multiplex laugh? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, the one and only Julie Ostrow .
