Pastor Levi Lusko joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a Holy Health conversation on health as worship (not performance), why the Church keeps falling into two extremes (neglect vs idolatry), and how “holy health” is ultimately surrendered health —built to carry your calling.In a world that turns “discipline” into the goal, Justin and Levi call out what most people don't see: you can quote Scripture, lead well, and still quietly run your body into the ground—until your peace, patience, and relationships begin to erode.This episode reframes the true metric of Holy Health: it's not your image, your biohacks, or your numbers—it's stewardship + obedience… because that's what builds long-term capacity.They also unpack:

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, Jon sits down with Justin Roethlingshoefer, performance coach, and author of Holy Health, for a deeply inspiring conversation about the intersection of faith, science, and holistic well-being. Justin Roethlingshoefer shares his own journey from witnessing burnout and health struggles among leaders, to stepping away in search of true wholeness, and ultimately returning with a renewed vision that integrates faith, science, and self-stewardship. Together, they explore the meaning of "holy health"—living set apart by honoring your body, mind, and spirit as a unified temple, and creating rhythms and environments that foster lasting health. This episode delves into powerful themes: reclaiming health not through striving for perfection or isolated habits, but by embracing identity, stewardship, and rhythms rooted in both Scripture and science. Justin Roethlingshoefer speaks candidly about breaking free from the extremes of obsession and neglect, finding oneness and capacity to live out your calling, and why making small daily choices—around movement, nourishment, rest, and community—can transform every area of life. About Justin: Justin Roethlingshoefer is a human performance expert, data-driven health strategist, and longevity practitioner with over two decades of experience optimizing health and performance. His mission is simple yet profound: to empower, educate, and equip leaders to take ownership of their health so they can fully live out their God-given mission. As a former health and performance expert in the NCAA and NHL, Justin used biometric data and real-time analytics to enhance recovery, endurance, and longevity. But his own wake-up call came when he was told he wouldn't live past 35. Forced to reprioritize his own health, he embarked on a personal healing journey using the same methods he was using for his athletes—one that led to a powerful realization: the health crisis wasn't just an athlete issue; it was a human issue. The real problem? Healthcare was reactive, not proactive. The system focused on treating symptoms rather than asking the right question: "Why is this happening?" Determined to bring wisdom out of the dark and into the light, Justin made it his mission to spread a message of hope and healing that unlocked the truth about health and longevity—not just for the elite, but for everyone. This journey led him to create OWN IT, an elite health coaching ecosystem designed for leaders who refuse to accept mediocrity in any aspect of life. Through personalized data, a team of specialized experts, and a science-backed system, OWN IT has helped thousands heal and optimize their mind, body, and spirit—unlocking the unstoppable energy and healing they were built for. A sought-after speaker, consultant, USA Today bestselling author, and podcast host of the OWN IT show, Justin doesn't just teach high performers how to improve their health—he gives them the blueprint to win. His work is shifting the conversation from reactive healthcare to proactive health ownership, proving that longevity isn't just about adding years to your life, but adding life to your years. But beyond the data, science, and accolades, Justin is a husband, a man of faith, and a firm believer in this truth: Healing is coming to you. Thriving is waiting for you.

Sometimes Christians speak about the body as though it barely matters. As though spiritual growth and physical stewardship are completely separate things. But Scripture paints a very different picture. God created your body intentionally. Jesus came in a body. Jesus rose in a body. And one day, we will receive glorified bodies. Your body matters to God. In this episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer (Own It Show, The Power of Ownership) explained how many people live disconnected from their bodies entirely. Ignoring exhaustion. Ignoring stress. Ignoring burnout. Ignoring emotional pain. Until eventually the body begins sounding alarms we can no longer ignore. Anxiety. Fatigue. Autoimmune struggles. Hormonal issues. And often we wonder: "Why is this happening to me?" But perhaps sometimes the better question is: "Have I been stewarding what God entrusted to me?" Not from condemnation, but from invitation. Because God is not trying to shame you. He is inviting you into abundant life. And at the center of that invitation is identity. Justin shared that for years, he believed his worth came from achievement and performance. But God taught him that he did not need to earn what had already been freely given through Christ. You do not have to prove your value. You already have value. And from that secure identity, you can begin making decisions that honor the life and body God has given you. And when you care for your body fully, you can also show up for the things God has for you fully.

We're bringing the HEAT this week as it's our very first LIVE in-person, podcast recording inside IMPACT-X Performance… and trust me, this conversation is going to hit your heart, challenge your mindset, and ignite your spirit. My guest is my good friend Justin Roethlingshoefer, a former NHL strength & conditioning coach turned founder of the powerful new "Holy Health" movement. Justin shares a ton of his insight on "Holy Health" along with a lot of his experiences with his client, Grammy-winning worship artist Brandon Lake, as they are doing a ton together to change many lives. What unfolds in this episode is nothing short of transformational. We dive deep into faith, healing, identity, purpose, obedience, leadership, burnout, and what it really means to steward your mind, body, soul, and calling God's way. Justin opens up like never before about the darkest season of his life after losing his NHL career, the moment God radically shifted his perspective while sitting alone in a kayak during COVID, and how that "yes" to obedience ultimately led him to Brandon Lake and a sold-out arena tour impacting hundreds of thousands of lives. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, uncertain about your next step, or hungry for more purpose and peace in your life… this episode is for YOU. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why "the only thing that follows obedience is blessing" How Justin went from getting fired from the NHL to building the Holy Health movement The life-changing kayak moment that birthed the vision for Own It Why your identity cannot be tied to your performance What "Health Is Worship" truly means The exact rhythms and routines Brandon Lake used during his 50-show arena tour How anxiety, burnout, and striving steal your calling Why rest is NOT weakness — it's obedience The powerful lesson: "Don't force what you want now for what you actually want most" How Holy Health is helping thousands of people heal mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually Why leadership starts with culture and consistency The importance of surrendering EVERY area of your life to God — including your health How slowing down allows you to finally hear God speak What it means to create "health havens" in your environment and daily life The mindset shift that can radically change the way you lead, live, and love This conversation reminded me that impact doesn't come from having it all figured out… it comes from showing up, being obedient, serving people with all your heart, and trusting God with the outcome. Justin's story is proof that your greatest setback can become the setup for your greatest calling if you're willing to surrender, stay faithful, and keep going.

The conversation explores how environments can be designed to encourage movement and active living, ultimately advocating for a cultural shift towards health awareness and personal responsibility.TakeawaysThe new podcast studio symbolizes a commitment to health awareness.The $1 billion initiative for airports aims to improve health options.Symbolism in health initiatives often overshadows real value.Airports are among the most sedentary environments we enter.Movement is a design choice, not a default behavior.People's identities influence their health choices significantly.Facilities alone won't change behavior; identity must shift.Designing environments to promote movement is crucial.Healthier food options are often overlooked in favor of convenience.Cultural shifts towards active living are essential for public health.TitlesTransforming Airports into Health HavensThe Identity Crisis in Health ChoicesSound bites"This is just a miracle that we're standing in.""We're focused on the wrong things.""Own your different."Chapters00:00 Welcome to The Onyx Show01:02 The Urgency of Health Awareness02:29 Government Initiatives in Airport Health10:06 Identity and Movement Choices15:42 Designing for Active Living22:07 Cultural Shifts in Health and Wellness===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

He shares personal experiences and insights on how chaos can disrupt our well-being and emphasizes the importance of rest and recovery. The conversation encourages listeners to reflect on their own rhythms and make necessary adjustments to achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.TakeawaysIntentional rhythms paired with consistent habits lead to inevitable outcomes.Health is primarily about rhythm, not discipline or willpower.Living without rhythm leads to disconnection and exhaustion.Chronic stress is a modern epidemic affecting our health.Rest and recovery are essential for building strength and capacity.Dysfunction can become familiar, making it hard to recognize chaos.Establishing personal rhythms can enhance productivity and creativity.Awareness of chaotic rhythms can lead to better health choices.Regular breaks and intentional downtime can rejuvenate relationships.Success requires a different approach than what is commonly practiced.Sound bites"Dysfunction has become so familiar.""What rhythms have I put in place?""Own your different."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Intentional Living02:56 The Importance of Rhythm in Health05:46 Chaos vs. Rhythm: The Modern Struggle12:07 Rest and Recovery: The Key to Strength17:58 Establishing Personal Rhythms for Success===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer delivers a powerful solo message on what it truly takes to become the best version of yourself in 2026. Drawing from a decade of personal growth, leadership, and faith-driven refinement, Justin challenges the idea that transformation comes from doing more—and instead reveals why lasting change comes from doing the right things. He unpacks the difference between survival and identity, exposing why most people don't lack ambition or goals, but alignment, capacity, and character. This episode serves as a wake-up call to stop outsourcing responsibility and start intentionally becoming who you were created to be.Episode Highlights● Radical Ownership: Ownership isn't blame or shame—it's truth without defense. Transformation begins the moment you fully own your rhythms, decisions, and patterns. ● Relief vs. Change: Most people don't actually want transformation; they want relief. Ownership forces you to confront what your life is revealing about you. ● Obsessive Obedience: Growth requires radical obedience to both God and wise mentorship. Stillness, listening, and accountability unlock direction and clarity. ● The Power of Alignment: Alignment occurs when values, behaviors, schedule, and body are no longer at war with each other. Alignment must come before assignment. ● Character Before Calling: God won't bless what your character can't sustain. Capacity is built through intentional obedience and alignment over time.Action Steps● Ask yourself: “Am I becoming who I'm called to be—or just getting better at surviving?” ● Practice radical ownership by identifying one daily pattern that's working against the future version of you. ● Create stillness each day—five minutes of silence to listen before you act. ● Identify a mentor who is aligned in values, ahead of you in growth, and willing to hold you accountable. ● Audit your calendar: does it reflect what you say matters most? ● Before saying yes, ask: “Does this decision support the future version of me?” ● Choose alignment over speed—clarity, peace, and power follow obedience.Chapters00:00 Introduction — Becoming the Best Version of You in 2026 01:30 Survival vs. Identity 03:00 Why Information Doesn't Create Transformation 04:45 Radical Ownership Defined 06:00 Patterns, Responsibility, and Personal Power 07:45 The Dangerous Prayer for Character 09:15 Obsessive Obedience Explained 11:00 Stillness, Listening, and God's Direction 12:45 The Role of Mentorship and Accountability 14:30 Alignment Before Assignment 16:15 Values, Calendars, and Contradictions 18:00 Misalignment, Fatigue, and Compromise 19:45 Asking Better Questions Through Alignment 21:30 The Cost—and Reward—of Alignment 23:30 Ownership, Obedience, and Alignment in Practice 25:00 Closing Challenge — Choosing Who You're Becoming===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

What if the most important signal of your long term health, recovery, and resilience isn't how hard you train, but how well your nervous system recovers? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with human performance expert Justin Roethlingshoefer for a deep, practical conversation on heart rate variability (HRV) and nervous system regulation. Justin explains why HRV is one of the most important metrics for long-term health, stress resilience, recovery, and longevity. Together, they explore how sleep, nutrition, exercise intensity, emotional stress, and daily lifestyle rhythms directly influence HRV, VO₂ max, and overall metabolic health. This episode delivers clear, actionable strategies to help listeners optimize recovery, reduce chronic stress, and build a body that feels safe enough to heal. Key Topics Covered What heart rate variability really measures and why it matters HRV as the nervous system's early warning system The difference between heart rate and heart rate variability How chronic stress suppresses recovery and healing The relationship between HRV, VO₂ max, and longevity Why most people are under-recovered, not overstressed Zone 2 and Zone 5 training explained simply How late-night eating disrupts sleep and HRV Sleep quality, REM sleep, and detoxification Practical ways to raise HRV without overdoing biohacks Book Mentioned

Send us a textIn this deeply encouraging solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer speaks directly into the exhaustion, overwhelm, and spiritual disconnection many people feel during the holiday season. While the world encourages us to “push through,” “finish the year strong,” or “just start again in January,” Justin exposes the real issue: most people don't lack capability—they lack recovery.In this episode, Justin walks through a powerful 7-Day Night Routine Reset—a simple, stackable system anyone can do at home, on the road, or in the middle of holiday chaos. Each daily reset takes less than two minutes but produces dramatic improvements in HRV, sleep quality, emotional regulation, and overall peace.TakeawaysSmall, consistent evening habits have exponential physiological impact.Your night routine is more important than your morning routine.High performers often operate in “extreme environments,” making intentional recovery even more essential.The one habit that spikes your HRV reveals your biggest “lever” for healing.Sound Bites“There isn't undeniable evidence that you are who you say you are—and that's why the holidays feel so hard.”“You're not broken. You've just never given your body permission to recover.”“Rest doesn't slow you down.

Send us a textIn this practical and eye-opening solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer returns to the studio after 37 days on the road to unpack one of the biggest frustrations he sees in clients today: we're drowning in health data—but starved for wisdom.Justin reflects on years of working with athletes, touring artists, entrepreneurs, and high performers who obsess over “perfect scores,” recovery percentages, and the chase for “optimal.” But the real breakthrough doesn't come from wearing more devices or collecting more numbers—it comes from interpreting what the body is actually saying.Through personal stories, experiences from touring, and a powerful real-life client transformation, Justin breaks down the wearable conundrum: the cultural lie that your device knows best. In reality, wisdom—not algorithms—is what creates sustainable change. He reveals the four metrics that actually matter, the 3-day trend rule, and why reacting to a single number is sabotaging your progress.TakeawaysRecovery, readiness, and sleep “scores” are man-made algorithms, not truth.Wisdom comes from raw metrics, not colors, badges, or percentages.The 3-day trend rule reveals patterns your daily numbers can't.Data without context leads to frustration, misalignment, and burnout.Your body tells the truth—technology can only reflect it.Stress is multi-dimensional: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual.Real progress comes from adjusting lifestyle rhythms, not adding hacks.Sound Bites“Chasing optimal keeps you from ever living optimal.”“Your wearable is a tool—not your identity, not your worth.”“Scores are algorithms; wisdom is interpretation.”“Knowledge is knowing. Wisdom is understanding.”“HRV is the language of your body's stress adaptation.”Chapters02:20 — Living It vs. Teaching It Why Justin vowed never to become a disconnected “expert.”04:15 — What You Actually Get From This Show Education + practical application from someone who lives it.06:00 — Introducing the Wearable Conundrum Why people chase “optimal” but never live it.08:30 — 37 Days on the Road: Data Chaos How fluctuating environments changed Justin's sleep and readiness.15:00 — Why Tools Don't Transform You Interpretation—not devices—is what creates wisdom and change.17:20 — The Four Metrics That Actually Matter HRV, VO2 max, sleep quality, resting HR/respiration rate.21:40 — Why Scores Are Misleading The problem with readiness, recovery, and strain algorithms.24:15 — HRV: The Longevity Metric What research reveals about HRV and all-cause mortality.34:00 — Interpreting Your Body's Language Moving from knowledge → understanding → wisdom → action.36:00 — Final Encouragement Own your different.

Send us a textIn this deeply honest solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer opens up about a triggering moment that forced him to confront the cultural lie of “hustle harder.” After seeing a client publicly champion a work-until-you-break mentality—the very mindset that once led them to burnout—Justin reflects on the destructive pursuit of worth through achievement.He unpacks how striving steals our peace, fractures our identity, and disconnects us from God's rhythms. Drawing from past personal battles with burnout and insights from his recent conversation with worship artist Pat Barrett, Justin explores the life-changing power of contentment: needing nothing, proving nothing, and operating from God-given identity instead of worldly ambition.This episode is a call to pause, evaluate the lies you've believed about success, and realign your life with the rhythms God designed you to thrive in. Whether you're on the brink of burnout or simply tired of the chase, Justin offers a path back to peace, presence, and purpose.TakeawaysThe world's version of success often leads to decay, disconnection, and burnout.Striving for validation costs your health, peace, and relationships.Contentment—not achievement—is what unlocks true creativity, freedom, and capacity.Boundaries are spiritual: they create presence, peace, and protection.Integration doesn't mean constant work—it requires intentional separation and presence.You can't operate in your calling while living in chaos.Your body signals misalignment through anxiety, exhaustion, weight gain, and brain fog.God designed rhythms of rest, obedience, and peace so you can thrive.Living by the world's expectations leads to destruction; living by God's design leads to purpose.Healing comes from alignment—not more effort, but more surrender.Sound Bites“The world applauds burnout—but it destroys your soul.”“A content person is dangerous because they need nothing from anyone.”“If you have no boundaries, you have no presence. Without presence, you have no peace.”“Striving steals your health, but obedience restores it.”“Your body is telling you the truth—even when the world is lying to you.”Chapters00:00 — Welcome & Introduction01:30 — The Instagram Post That Triggered Everything03:00 — The Dangerous Lie of Work-Obsessed Culture05:00 — Wisdom from Pat Barrett: The Power of Contentment06:30 — Why Needing Nothing Makes You More Creative07:30 — Integration vs. Disintegration: The Misuse of “Balance”10:00 — When Work Consumes Family, Health, and Identity11:30 — The Real Cost of Hustle Culture12:30 — From Burnout to Breakthrough: A Client's Story14:00 — Worldly Success vs. God-Given Design15:00 — How the Body Reveals Misalignment16:00 — Moving Back Into Alignment With God's Rhythms17:00 — A Call to Self-Awareness, Correction, and Surrender===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Patt shares how his pursuit of purpose and performance once led him to burnout — and how learning to say “no” became an act of worship. Together, they unpack what it means to live a life of holy ambition, to hear God's voice amidst noise, and to redefine success beyond productivity. This episode challenges listeners to examine their pace, protect what truly matters, and pursue a life of alignment over achievement.TakeawaysSaying “yes” to everything isn't obedience.True success is measured by alignment, not output.God's voice often contrasts with worldly ambition.Discipline means protecting what matters most.Health, rest, and family are spiritual priorities.You can't serve others from an empty tank.Obedience sometimes looks like slowing down.Productivity doesn't equal purpose.Growth without boundaries leads to burnout.God can do more with your obedience than with your effort.Sound Bites“Obedience almost ruined my career—but it saved my soul.” “You can't gain the world and keep your peace.” “God doesn't need your hustle; He wants your heart.”Chapters00:00 Introduction — Meeting Patt Barrett 02:45 Growing Up in Faith and Music 07:10 Discovering God's Voice in a New Way 11:20 Songwriting, Words, and Spiritual Connection 14:35 The Role of Health and Rhythm in Creativity 20:00 Learning to Participate Fully in Life 23:45 Redefining ‘Opportunity' and Saying No 28:00 The Difference Between Ambition and Obedience 33:15 The Hidden Cost of Success 36:40 God's Voice vs. Your Voice 40:00 Living Intentionally and in Tension 42:15 The Freedom in Limitation 45:00 “I've Got a Fire” — The Story Behind the Album 47:00 Closing Reflections: Success Is Different===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewHappy Thanksgiving week! On The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer shares ten simple, powerful habits to enjoy the feast, family, and football—without the bloat, sluggishness, or sleep crash that derails your momentum into December. This is a stewardship-first approach: stabilize circadian rhythm and blood sugar, support detox pathways, protect HRV and sleep, and anchor the day with gratitude so you roll into the holidays energized.Episode HighlightsFoundation (Habits 1–3)Morning Light + Movement — 10–15 min outside (walk, breathwork, easy cardio) to anchor circadian rhythm and prime VO₂.Hydration Before Celebration — 20–30 oz water + electrolytes on waking; keep fluids steady all day.Breathwork Bookends — 2 minutes AM & PM (2 nasal inhales, 1 mouth exhale) + gratitude to lower stress and steady HRV.Food, Rhythm & Energy (Habits 4–6) 4) Protein-First Strategy — Eat a protein-heavy breakfast; at the feast, lead with protein to curb spikes and cravings. 5) Walk 5 Before / 5 After — Mini-walks around meals improve insulin sensitivity and fight food-coma. 6) Create an Eating Window — Finish food ≥3 hours before bed to protect sleep quality and next-day energy.Sleep & Recovery (Habits 7–8) 7) Block Blue Light After Dinner — Dim overheads, use lamps/candles; blue-light glasses if screens are on. 8) Limit Alcohol — If you drink, do it earlier and sparingly; stop after dinner to safeguard deep sleep.Mindset & Movement (Habits 9–10) 9) Get Outside: Walk / Play / Breathe — Family walk, backyard football, light sun = mood up, lymph moving. 10) Gratitude Is the Anchor — Name 3 specific gratitudes (high–low–buffalo); gratitude reliably supports HRV and calm.Sample Thanksgiving Day Flow (Justin's Template)AM: Open blinds, light + walk, 2–3 min breath + gratitude, hydrate, optional Turkey Trot.Feast (~4–5 pm): Lead with protein & fiber, walk 5 before/after, desserts inside your 3-hr pre-bed cutoff.Evening: Dim lights / glasses on, no alcohol after dinner, 2–3 min breath + gratitude, lights-out on schedule.Action StepsPick 2–3 habits to lock in this week (e.g., AM light, protein-first, 3–2–1 wind-down).Share your Turkey Trot, family walk, blue-light setup, or gratitude stack and tag Justin.Remember: This is separation season—small, consistent reps compound into January.Subscribe & Listen to The Own It Show➡︎ YouTube: @justinroethlingshoefer ➡︎ Apple Podcasts: Search “The Own It Show — Justin Roethlingshoefer” ➡︎ Spotify: Search “The Own It Show — Justin Roethlingshoefer”ResourcesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinroethlingshoeferLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoeferCoaching & Speaking: See links in Justin's YouTube/Instagram bioThanksgiving health tips, holiday HRV, circadian rhythm, hydration before celebration, protein first, walking after meals, blue light blocking, alcohol sleep disruption, gratitude HRV, VO2 max holiday, Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer#ThanksgivingHealth #HydrationBeforeCelebration #ProteinFirst #WalkBeforeAfter ===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer dismantles the myth that winter causes “cold and flu season.” He shows how a stack of lifestyle dominos—back-to-school schedules, less sunlight, more indoor time, circadian disruption (hello, daylight savings), lower movement, and sugar spikes—prime our immune systems for defeat. Then he lays out an actionable, step-by-step Own It Immune Protocol to stay resilient through the holidays so your household becomes the one everyone asks, “How are you never sick?”Episode HighlightsDomino #1: Back to School (Sept/Early Fall) Less outdoor time & sunlight → lower vitamin D, more indoor exposure, schedule stress, earlier mornings → circadian disruption + reduced sleep quality.Domino #2: Daylight Savings (Late Oct/Early Nov) Earlier darkness → mood dips, lower activity, melatonin/cortisol rhythm thrown off → worse sleep, lower HRV, higher inflammation.Domino #3: Sugar Season (Halloween → Holidays) Candy/party foods → acute immune suppression for 4–6 hours post-load; repeat hits + late nights = rolling vulnerability.Self-Fulfilling Slide Less light & movement → lower VO₂ and energy → move even less → sleep & recovery worsen → immunity tanks.Mindset Shift It's not an unstoppable winter force—it's a predictable pattern you can interrupt.The Own It Immune Protocol (Holiday Edition)(Lifestyle first; supplements support but don't replace habits. Not medical advice.)Sunlight & Light HygieneA.M. light (5–10 min) outdoors within an hour of waking to anchor circadian rhythm.Midday sun (10–20 min) to support vitamin D synthesis when possible.Evening: Dim house lights 2–3 hrs pre-bed; avoid overhead glare; use lamps.Sleep & RhythmFixed sleep/wake window (±30 min) even on weekends.3–2–1 wind-down: 3 hrs no heavy food/alcohol; 2 hrs no work; 1 hr no screens (or strict blue-light filters).Cool, dark room; nasal breathing; white noise if needed.Movement & BreathDaily zone-2 (20–40 min) walk or easy cardio; add 10–20 min strength circuit 3x/week.Pattern-interrupt breath: 4–6 slow nasal breaths before meals & during stress to keep you parasympathetic.Sugar & Party StrategyProtein-first at gatherings (20–30g) + fiber & fluids before dessert.One-plate rule; if sweets, pair with protein/fat to blunt spikes.Cut off caffeine by 10–11 a.m. to protect sleep.Foundational NutritionDaily anchors: protein (~0.7–1.0 g/lb goal weight), colorful produce, mineral-rich foods (red meat, seafood, eggs, dairy if tolerated,===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

What if the real path to success starts by choosing your life first — and trusting the business will rise to support it?In this episode, Matt & Garrett sit down with Justin Roethlingshoefer, who walked away from a comfortable tech career to build a life aligned with purpose, energy, and lifestyle. From surfing at sunrise to finding a community that fuels growth, this conversation explores the courage, curiosity, and discipline it takes to design a life you actually want — and then build the business to match it.We talk about:- Choosing lifestyle and fulfillment over titles and safety- Identity shifts when you leave a “successful career” behind- How curiosity, coaching, and repetition accelerate change- Balancing discipline with joy, freedom, and play- The surprising power of environment and community- Why confidence follows action — not the other way aroundThis episode is a reminder: you don't have to sacrifice your life to build success. When you get aligned, success shows up because of how you live — not in spite of it.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer challenges the popular “Start With Why” playbook. For business, it can inspire; for transformation (health, identity, spiritual life), it often fails—because purpose without identity is precarious. Justin lays out a paradoxically simple flip: Start With WHO. When you know who you are in Christ, your WHAT (daily practices) flows naturally, God supplies the HOW (people, methods, rhythms), and the WHY emerges as fruit—not as pressure. He unpacks identity-driven health, breath as a bridge between body and spirit, and how “going slow” creates depth that compounds into durable change.Episode Highlights- What “Why-First” Misses: It fuels performance-driven faith and burnout when outcomes wobble. - Purpose without identity cracks under pressure.- The Identity-First Model: WHO → WHAT → HOW → WHY- WHO: Receive identity (beloved, chosen; specific calling like “leader of leaders” or “generational shifter”). You don't earn it—you receive it.- WHAT: Practices flow from identity (sleep/wake rhythms, fueling, movement, stewardship habits).- HOW: God reveals methods, mentors, and systems as you walk in obedience.- WHY: Discovered over time as aligned fruit, not forced at the start.- Faith + Physiology: Breathwork as a physiological bridge to presence and listening; cues the nervous system toward calm so obedience becomes natural, not strained.- S.L.O.W. Tie-In: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom. Depth first; speed later.Case Examples:- Personal: Justin's “leader of leaders” identity clarifies daily standards and decisions.- Artist: Aligning identity (“humble revivalist”) enabled capacity for larger stages without burnout.Common Traps:- Over-clarity Paralysis: Using “I don't know my why” as procrastination disguised as purpose.- Why-Churn: Chasing new missions without rooting in identity → fatigue, inconsistency.Action Steps- Morning (3 minutes): Breath, then declare 2–3 identity truths (e.g., “I am beloved,” “I am a steward,” “I am a generational shifter”).- One Identity-Aligned Action: Ask, “Given who I am, what's one thing I do today?” Do it.- Obedience Rep: Take one small obedient step daily—then journal evidence of fruit (even subtle).- Weekly Review (10 minutes): Note patterns: Did WHO make WHAT easier? Did any HOW/WHY surface?- Pair With S.L.O.W.: Create 5 minutes of stillness before planning; listen, then act.Key Ideas & Quotes“Purpose without identity is precarious.”“You don't earn your WHO; you receive it.”“Be → Do → Discover Why.”“The slower you go (in depth), the faster He can move.”“Obedience is the hinge between hearing and harvest.”Tools Mentioned- Breathwork to prime presence and recall identity before action.- Identity Journal for daily WHO statements and obedience logs.- S.L.O.W.

Stress isn't just in your head; your body keeps score. Justin Roethlingshoefer explains how heart rate variability (HRV) reveals whether your body feels safe enough to heal, and why understanding this single metric can unlock lasting energy, better sleep, and complete ownership of your health.After facing a life-threatening diagnosis and years of being told he was “fine,” Justin turned to data to find what every doctor missed. His journey from a teenage hockey player battling anorexia to coaching elite NHL and NCAA athletes led him to build Own It, a health optimization ecosystem helping people shift from reactive healthcare to proactive health ownership.In this conversation, Justin shares how HRV acts as the “language of your body,” what it really tells you about stress, and how data-driven personal rhythms create genuine vitality.He also opens up about the spiritual and emotional layers of performance, why self-awareness outperforms willpower, and how purpose and physiology intertwine to build the foundation for longevity and impact."Your body doesn't know the difference between mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional stress. All it knows is it has to keep you alive." - Justin RoethlingshoeferSupport the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and let us know!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 Mentioned in the Episode:Justin's book, The Power of Ownership: https://a.co/d/gEOgMUtAbout Justin Roethlingshoefer:Justin Roethlingshoefer is the founder of Own It, an elite health and performance coaching ecosystem integrating data, faith, and science to help leaders and athletes optimize energy, focus, and recovery.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer introduces “Vitamin G”—gratitude—as a spiritual discipline and a biological signal that shifts the body from protect → heal. Beyond surface-level thank-yous, Justin unpacks embodied gratitude that rewires the brain, raises HRV, lowers cortisol, and realigns your nervous system with peace and presence. From worship playlists to breath-linked journaling, he shows how gratitude transforms physiology—and why it's the essential “vitamin” your soul needs to thrive.Episode HighlightsGratitude vs. Thankfulness: Moving from polite thanks to embodied reverence that changes state.Bio-Signal, Not Just Mindset: Gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/repair), often reflected as higher HRV, better recovery, immune function, and emotional regulation.Neurochemistry of Gratitude: Engages the prefrontal cortex; supports serotonin & dopamine pathways → durable, positive neural wiring (not just a temporary mood).Faith Meets Physiology: Scripture's call to thanksgiving aligns with measurable stress reduction and decision clarity.Environment Matters: Music and inputs shift state (e.g., worship vs. “depressive playlist”); be the thermostat, not the thermometer.Real-World Wins: Clients who integrate gratitude stacks often see HRV and symptom improvements (e.g., brain fog, bloat) as stress load decreases.Pattern Interrupt (daytime): When stress hits, take one slow breath and recall one specific gratitude; notice the state shift.Evening Rewind (3–5 minutes): Play High–Low–Buffalo (high = win, low = challenge, buffalo = surprise) and find gratitude in each.Track Your HRV: Note last month's average; run the three practices for 7 days and compare average HRV, sleep quality, and mood.Worship Playlist: Start or end the day with gratitude-centered worship to prime the nervous system for calm, clarity, and connection.Scripture & Studies MentionedPsalm 100:4 — Enter his gates with thanksgiving (gratitude opens gates).Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know (stillness precedes state change).Gratitude & HRV / Parasympathetic Activation: Research linking gratitude journaling/practice to improved HRV, emotional regulation, and recovery.Neuroplasticity & Neurochemistry: Gratitude practices support prefrontal activation and serotonin/dopamine balance, reinforcing resilient pathways.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer reframes “slowing down” as the doorway to breakthrough. If you've been chasing certainty, quick fixes, or the next hack, Justin shows why true progress lives on the other side of obedience—and how to reach it through his S.L.O.W. framework: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom.Blending behavioral science, stress physiology, and Scripture, he explains why our brains resist obedience (control, instant gratification, loss aversion, and misunderstanding God's heart), and how practicing stillness and listening raises HRV, calms cortisol, sharpens decision-making, and creates spiritual alignment. He also shares a personal story—choosing integrity over a “bigger” opportunity—that opened unexpected doors and confirmed a simple truth: obedience precedes blessing.Episode Highlights- Why We Resist Obedience: Control vs. trust, impatience & dopamine, loss aversion, and a distorted view of God's heart.S.L.O.W. Framework:S — Stillness: Downregulates stress, raises HRV (readiness), and opens receptivity. (Ps. 46:10)L — Listen: Quiet the noise to hear the whisper, not the shout. (1 Kings 19:12)O — Obedience: The hinge between hearing and harvest. (Luke 5:5)W — Wisdom: Fruit of consistent, values-aligned obedience; rewires the brain for clarity and resilience (neuroplasticity).- Science of Slowing Down: Calm-state decisions are more accurate and less reactive; trust signals lower cortisol and increase oxytocin/serotonin.- Story of Integrity: Saying “yes” to a smaller platform led to a greater calling—proof that character-driven obedience compounds.- Faith Lens: “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.” (John 14:23) Blessing follows alignment, even when the path feels costly.Action Steps- Daily 5-Minute Stillness: Begin each morning with uninterrupted quiet—no phone, no notes—just breathing and presence.- Practice Active Listening: Journal any “nudges” you sense; ask, “What's the next right obedient step?”- One Act of Obedience Today: Choose a small, specific yes (or no) aligned with your values. Log it and the outcome.- Evening Reflection: Trace fruit back to prior acts of obedience; look for the 3–24 month “compounding” effect.- Reduce Reactivity: Use a simple wind-down (3-2-1: 3 hrs no heavy food, 2 hrs no work, 1 hr no screens) to keep cortisol low and decisions clear.Scripture & Studies Mentioned- Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know…”- 1 Kings 19:12 — God's whisper, not the whirlwind- Luke 5:5 — Obedience → Overflow- Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust → Straight paths- John 14:23 — Love → Obedience → Presence- Behavioral notes on loss aversion, dopamine & instant rewards, and calm-state decision quality (e.g., HBR insights; Stanford findings referenced in discussion)===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

He shares how years of striving to be impressive left him burned out, anxious, and disconnected from his true calling—until a transformative encounter with God flipped his perspective.Drawing on the biblical story of David and Goliath, Justin reveals how God uses those willing to be nothing—and why true leadership requires stewarding your body, mind, spirit, and emotions as one integrated temple. This isn't about chasing six-pack abs or status symbols; it's about becoming the kind of person who can carry your calling without breaking under the weight.This episode will encourage, challenge, and free you from the pressure to perform—so you can live from obedience, not ego.Episode Highlights● The Fear of Nothingness – How chasing impressiveness can destroy your health and peace. ● God's Paradox – Why the Kingdom requires emptiness before multiplication. ● The David Blueprint – How preparation, obedience, and strength positioned a shepherd to slay a giant. ● Purpose Requires Energy – Why stewarding your body is essential to carry your calling. ● Legacy Over Vanity – How your rhythms model either dysfunction or health to everyone watching.Action Steps● Let Go of Impressiveness – Stop striving to prove your worth and start living from obedience. ● Integrate Your Health – Steward your physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health together. ● Prepare in the Field – Build daily rhythms before you're “called up” for your Goliath moment. ● Lead by Example – What you multiply starts with what you model. ● Be Willing to Be Nothing – So God can make it something—and that's what becomes impressive.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this eye-opening episode of , host tackles one of the most misunderstood health crises today: the hormone replacement trap. What starts as a conversation about early onset perimenopause in women and declining testosterone in men becomes a powerful call to return to the real foundation of health. Justin exposes how modern health clinics push costly hormone and peptide therapies as quick fixes—while neglecting the root cause: deep cellular deficiencies. He breaks down how vitamins, minerals, and amino acids form the true base of hormone health, and shares five practical daily strategies to rebalance your hormones naturally, restore energy, and reclaim vitality without lifelong prescriptions.Episode Highlights ● The Hormone Trap: Why injections, patches, and peptides are often just expensive band-aids masking foundational deficiencies. ● Root Cause vs. Quick Fix: Hormones are end-of-the-line signals; true healing starts with restoring cellular nutrients like magnesium, zinc, iodine, B vitamins, and amino acids. ● The Real Risks of HRT: Hormone replacement can disrupt natural hormone production, fertility, and even raise risks of stroke, blood clots, or cancer. ● Faith & Stewardship: Your body is designed to heal when given the right building blocks—stewarding it well is both wise and worshipful. ● The Own It Philosophy: How Justin's team rebuilds health from the ground up through personalized cellular testing and targeted replenishment.Action Steps ● Ask yourself: “Am I addressing symptoms or building a foundation?” Shift your mindset from quick fixes to lasting health. ● Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods and consider cellular-level testing to uncover hidden deficiencies. ● Reduce chronic stress with the 3-2-1 nightly wind-down rule, breathwork, visualization, and intentional Sabbath rest. ● Address metabolic dysfunction through sustainable movement and gradual fat loss to restore natural hormone production. ● Before considering hormone therapy, build your base with the essentials—vitamins, minerals, and amino acids—so your body can heal and self-regulate.=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE: ➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG =========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/ =========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media: ➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en Own It Success is different so own your different!

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this eye-opening episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer exposes the truth behind popular blood testing methods and reveals why so many people are getting misled—and misdiagnosed—by at-home and serum tests.After taking three different blood panels at the exact same time—a Rhythm at-home test, a standard serum panel like Function Health, InsideTracker, or 10X Health, and a cellular micronutrient panel—Justin discovered shocking inconsistencies that could have led to entirely different health decisions.This episode is a masterclass in what real preventative health looks like. You'll learn why at-home tests are unreliable, why serum tests only tell you what's already broken, and how cellular micronutrient testing uncovers what your body truly needs to thrive. If you've ever wondered which test results to trust, this is the episode that could save you years of frustration, wasted money, and misguided “solutions.”Episode Highlights● Garbage In, Garbage Out – How at-home blood tests can give wildly inaccurate data that leads to poor decisions.● The Serum Trap – Why standard lab panels only reveal what's broken—and miss the root cause of dysfunction.● The Cellular Advantage – How cellular micronutrient testing reveals what your body can actually use and where it's deficient.● The Vitamin D Shock – Justin's results showed “deficient” in one test and “optimal” in another—learn why.● The Costly Illusion – Why influencers and big health brands market incomplete testing to the masses.● The Real Gold Standard – How pairing serum and cellular testing gives you the full picture for personalized, preventative health.Action Steps● Stop Guessing – Don't rely on trendy at-home kits. Demand real data you can trust.● Pair Your Testing – Use serum panels to detect what's broken, and cellular panels to discover what's missing.● Personalize Supplementation – Never start a supplement without knowing if your cells can use it.● Think Preventively – Don't wait for symptoms. Be proactive before issues surface.● Get Expert Guidance – Work with a practitioner who will interpret your data—not just send you a PDF.● Own Your Health – Go to [ownittesting.com](https://ownittesting.com) and use code HEALTH2025 to get your cellular panel at cost.=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE: ➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG =========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/ =========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media: ➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en Own It Success is different so own your different!

He emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying health implications and the need for true healing rather than mere substitution. The conversation highlights the commercialization of mood regulation and offers practical steps for achieving genuine health ownership.TakeawaysWe are celebrating the wrong thing by normalizing sobriety.Alcohol consumption is down, but substance use is up.Daily cannabis use has exploded since 2008.The wellness industry is masking deeper issues.Sobriety is about capacity, not just the absence of alcohol.Mood manipulation is prevalent in wellness products.True healing requires addressing root causes.Commercial interests profit from habit-forming rituals.We need to seek genuine community, not just commodities.Practical steps can lead to true health and recovery.TitlesThe Truth Behind Alcohol Consumption TrendsSubstituting Alcohol: A Deeper LookSound bites"Daily marijuana use now surpasses daily alcohol use.""Better for you doesn't always equal benign.""Sobriety is not the absence of a drink."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Health Ownership01:01 The Shift in Alcohol Consumption05:50 Substituting Alcohol: The Rise of Cannabis and Hallucinogenics13:03 The Illusion of Wellness: Mood Manipulation and Commercialization19:44 Practical Steps for True Healing and Recovery=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE: ➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG =========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/ =========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media: ➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en Own It Success is different so own your different!

Ever catch yourself crushing in business…but low-key running on fumes? Like you're pushing hard, but your body's throwing quiet warnings you can't quite decode? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing a powerful Guest Guru training from inside The Happy Hustle Club—our private community featuring Justin Roethlingshoefer, Celebrity Health Expert and Founder of Own It Coaching. Justin doesn't sell hacks; he engineers paradigm shifts. His mission: help leaders stop sacrificing health for the mission and start running their bodies like their business.Justin's story is raw and real. As a kid, he battled both obesity and anorexia and even faced liver and kidney failure at 16. That pain turned into purpose: two undergrads, a master's, pro hockey, a doctorate's worth of research on sleep and heart rate variability (HRV), plus deep training in functional medicine and cellular healing. He went on to become Director of Player Performance in the NHL, then stepped away after a personal health scare (precancerous polyps and a bleeding ulcer) to build Own It Coaching with his wife—a 50-person team now guiding 3,500+ high-performing founders and creators. They even built “The Health Haven” in Miami to show people how to live differently, daily. Why it matters: Justin is the rare coach who blends faith, science, and systems so your health outcomes become inevitable, not accidental.Here's what you'll learn in a nutshell:HRV is the language of your body. A higher HRV = better adaptation to stress.Oxygen is step one. VO₂ max isn't just for athletes—it's a wellness vital.Sleep is your detox system. Quality beats quantity.Fix the base before the boosters.

Title: From Burnout to Balance: The Holistic Health Framework for Business Leaders with Justin Roethlingshoefer Summary: In this episode, Seth Bradley interviews performance and holistic health expert Justin Roethlingshoefer, who shares his journey from overweight and obsessed with data as a child to becoming a thought leader in elite athletics and executive performance. Justin reveals that while most people approach health through a "body up" lens, obsessing over diets, workouts, and gadgets, true health and healing come from the opposite direction. He advocates for a "top-down" method where spiritual identity and emotional clarity are foundational, which then naturally align the mind and body for sustainable, lasting change. Justin explains how high achievers, even billionaires and franchise owners, often remain unfulfilled and unhealthy because they treat symptoms rather than root causes. His company, Own It, integrates data-driven physical health with deep mental, emotional, and spiritual coaching to create real transformation. True health, he argues, is only possible when all areas of life are aligned — and while results may take time, the impact is profound and permanent. Links to watch and subscribe:   Bullet Point Highlights: Body-up health solutions are backwards. Real, lasting transformation starts with spiritual identity and mindset before physical optimization. Holistic integration is required. Mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health must be aligned for true healing and performance. Success ≠ health or fulfillment. High-performing entrepreneurs and executives often suffer because they chase outcomes, not alignment. Transformation takes patience. Sustainable results require commitment to small, integrated steps, not quick fixes or shortcuts. The solution is full integration, not fragmentation. Own It's model addresses all aspects of health in one place to create life-changing outcomes. Transcript: Seth Bradley (00:02.062) What's up, builders?

If you're ready to raise more capital, close bigger deals, build a better you, and create true financial freedom, you're in the right place. Let's go. Man, excited to have you on the show. Let's just jump right in, Tell the listeners a little bit about your background and take it back as far as you like. Justin Roethlingshoefer So man, how long's the show? I think the big thing, to be honest with you, anytime I kind of get asked about my background, my background shaped me. My background kind of brought me through to what it is that we're doing now. And I kind of speak in terms of anointings and callings and what it is that was stamped on us from a young age. And for me, it was health. I knew that. When I leaned into that as a young boy at 12, 13 years old, I was a fat kid. was the one that I was just made fun of. But I also had this deep desire to know and understand my body at a level that didn't make sense to a lot of people. And there was, I still remember I did this study at the University of Alberta, born and raised in Canada, and was a very athletic kid, but was just overweight. And I did this study. And they were looking at how kids and based on their habits and behaviors, whether you could actually be fat and fit. And so they brought me in and we did all these tests and all these studies and my VO2 max was at the 99 percentile. My muscle mass was at the 99 percentile. My time spent watching TV, playing video games, all these other things was at the 99th percentile of not doing those things. But yet I had a BMI that was obese. I had a body fat percentage, I think of 34%, something in these areas. And I still remember the article that came out, it was the front page of the paper, because it was a really groundbreaking study in Canada, and it said, and fit, question mark, with a picture of me. and I was on the bike and it really just started, like it messed with my mind. And obviously only continued the teasing, continued all these things. But I was the kid that wore a heart rate monitor to bed, wore a heart rate monitor all day long, had a pulse oximeter that I would look at three, four times a day. When I was reading, when everyone else was reading comic books, I was reading medical journals. And this was something that I was just fully enthralled with. Well, That experience threw me the other direction and from about 14 to 18 became severely anorexic. Had a really hard ability to see myself well and just love who I was and I had a major body composition issue and that propelled me down into the United States. I still happen to be a very good athlete. I came to the United States on a hockey scholarship. Did two undergraduate degrees one in exercise science another nutrition went got my master's degree in exercise physiology concentration and sport performance Went and got my massage therapy license went and got my postgraduate doctoral studies in heart rate variability sleep and recovery science and that propelled me into the National Hockey League I started to really understand the body in a way that not many people did and realizing that health is Holistic health is integrated health is mental physical spiritual and emotional conditions or states of the human being and they all have to be aligned and if there's any type of Disintegration between those four you will not be healed you will not be healthy and you will not realize what I call true health and so I took that philosophy of using data technology and Information to help heal the entire person to the NHL and all of a sudden we started to see injury rates drop, we saw recovery times drop, we saw sickness rates drop, we saw performances increase, we saw energy increase, and the owners, the GMs are coming to saying, what are you doing? Like, I don't understand this. You're bringing a philosophy that is very weird to us, we don't understand it, but yet we see the fruits of it at the end of the day, what's happening? That, over the course of eight years, caused me to become a thought leader and really take... some stages in some unique ways in professional sports and change the culture and the dynamic of how we approached performance. But going from Washington to Anaheim, I had one of the ownership team members of the capitals come and say, hey, I need to meet with you when you come out. And I'd seen this person and as they walked through the door, I was like, my gosh, I'd seen them six months previous. And as they walked through, was like, you've aged 30 years in five, six months. Like what's going on? He's like, I don't know. I don't feel well. Like I'm not sleeping. I'm stressed. I feel like I've got no control of my body and I don't understand what's happening. Can you help me? And the back of my mind, I was like, this guy's a billionaire. He's just making copious amounts of money. He's a businessman. I work with athletes. But then all of a sudden I realized, no, this isn't an athlete problem. This is a human problem. And I put him through the same philosophy. We did testing. We looked at heart rate variability. We started to track information. We started to have conversations that were very philosophical in nature, mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally aligned, starting to go through a lot of these identities that he had that he wasn't able to shake. And all of a sudden, eight months later, the guy looks like he's 35 years old and He's 80. And that was the turning point for me to be like, hey, I can no longer just stay in the national hockey. Like I have to walk away and be able to impact the health of the world because like I said, this is not just a athlete problem. This is a human problem. And the more that we can empower people, the more that we can help them understand their bodies and understand how to heal. The definition of integrated is the exact same definition of heal. To make one, to make wholeness, to create oneness. And that's what we have to do mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally if we truly want to heal. You just can't be a muscle head on the outside and be sick internally and think that you're healthy. On the other side, you can't just not go to the gym and go to the therapist all day and be so aligned and do meditation and just know your purpose and be preaching from the stages. there's still disintegration. We need to make sure it's holistic, all-encompassing and integrated to realize that deep healing. And that's what we've been doing for hundreds of thousands of people who are business owners and business leaders, entrepreneurs for the last two and a half, three years. So it's been, that's kind of been that journey in what looks like about six and a half minutes. Seth Bradley That's incredible, man. There's so much to unpack in six and a half minutes there. Man, I don't even know where to start. I mean, it sounds like you've had this almost an obsession with data and reading that data from your body before everybody had a Fitbit, right? Justin Roethlingshoefer Oh, for sure. A Fitbit or some sort of watch, right? And you were doing this before that kind of hit the stage because it just interests. So like on that note, they're like definitely doing it before it was cool. But like quick story, when I was 12 years old, I asked my parents for a heart rate monitor for Christmas. And you have to realize this is back in 1998. So the heart rate monitors were not like they are now. You can't get them for 100 bucks. You can't get a wearable device that's cheap and easy. I think that the heart monitor then cost like $1,600. And they're like, why do you need a heart monitor? Like, are you sick? Is there something wrong? I was like, no, I'm just interested. Well, they're like, we're not buying one of these things. And I said, no, like, pool your money that you give me for Christmas, my birthday, and pool grandma and grandpa's money and pool like aunt and uncle's. Put it all together and that's all I want. You can just never get me a gift for the next year, not till next Christmas. So that's what they did. And that was literally how I got my first piece. And I've just been obsessed with it ever since of really being able to just provide information. Because I think understanding, knowledge is one thing, understanding is something completely different. And we need to be able to dissociate between information and understanding and help cross that bridge so that you can be empowered to take action in your own health. Seth Bradley Yeah. Yeah, that's incredible. Your parents kind of made that sacrifice to make it happen for you. I don't know if you would have been a little bit set back because they didn't provide that for you at that time, but it kind of catapulted you on this journey. You know, do you think that, you know, reading that data is maybe the first step in kind of working towards analyzing that holistic approach? Or where do you kind of see all this beginning? Justin Roethlingshoefer First step is, that's to be honest with you, that's the world's approach. The world's approach I say is a body up approach. So it's, there's four entities of health, right? Mental, physical, spiritual, emotional. And I attach each one of those to a different entity. So physical, your body. Emotional, your heart. Mental, your mind. And spirit, your spiritual component. And the world's approach is to take a bottom up body first approach. You need to get the wearable device. You need to start tracking all this stuff. You need to look at everything under the sun. You need to go get your DNA tested. You need to go get your blood tested. You need to go and do the cold plunge, the sauna, the red light, the intermittent fasting, the high intensity interval training. You have to do all the things because you have to get the six pack. You have to lose 20 pounds. You have to do whatever it might be. It's the body up approach. Well, that body up approach creates a poisoning of the heart, poisoning of the emotions, it brings on anxiety, it brings on fear, it brings on this feeling of overwhelm. All things that I experienced as a child, which is why I continue to pair them through, I was fearful of becoming fat again, thus I took things to an extreme. I was fearful of... not being able to have the energy to do what I wanted, thus I was acting out of certain things and I would have to go do my workouts and it would bring up massive anxiety because it was just so much and I was overwhelmed by it all. That poisoning of the heart creates a separation of the mind, thus I'm not good enough, I'm not strong enough, I'm never gonna get there, I'm not consistent enough, I'm not worthy of all these things. And that separation of the mind creates a cloudiness in our spirit, a cloudiness of who we are and what we identify with. I identified as a fat kid. I identified as the anorexic sick kid, the weird kid. That's what stuck with me and that's why I was never fully healthy even though at 20 years old to now at 36, I don't look any different. I've still got the six pack. I've still got the muscles. I still can lift a house. I still feel really strong. But it's not until about two, maybe even three years ago that I was holistically healthy, that I loved who I was, that I was really rooted. What we have to do is we have to take a top-down approach. We have to really create oneness in our spirit first. Who are we? Why are we here? What's our calling? What's our identity? What is that true desire that we're wanting to live for? Once we have that, we have a sense of oneness of our mind. We are worth it. We are good enough. We're exactly where we need to be. We're in a journey that's exciting. Thus that eliminates and creates a purification of our heart and eliminates the anxieties, eliminates the fears and puts us into a state of enthusiasm, energy, mental clarity, empowerment to go and step forward into these things powerfully, which then we're able to create consistency, sustainability and longevity of our body through our habits, behaviors and lifestyles that are now something we look forward to. And so coming back to your comment is the first thing we have to do is not get the wearable device, is not do the thing. The first thing we have to do is get our self right spiritually, which comes back to identifying who we are. Who do we identify as? What are we? What is our goal, our mission, our purpose? Because once we align that, once we get clear on that, everything else starts to fall into place. Seth Bradley Got it, got it. Yeah, and it's like that body up approach. It's easier to sell. The culture that we live in, it's just easier to sell products. It's easier to get people thinking they need to look a certain way. It's just that sales kind of approach, but it's backwards. You've got to get yourself right spiritually, mentally before the more the body type of physical things can even matter to you internally. Justin Roethlingshoefer I think, yes, I think you're right, but even as you start to look at that, why do you think we're more unhealthy now than ever? We are living in a place where there's more mental illness in our society than ever before. There's more anxiety than ever before. There's more depression than ever before. We're actually sicker physically than ever before. Diabetes is on the rise. Alzheimer's is on the rise. Alzheimer's is just type three diabetes. That's all it is. An inability to control blood sugar. We have an obesity epidemic rising. We have now 52% of Americans that are obese, not overweight, obese. And so it's not more information. It's not getting more of these things. It's not go do this, gym, go and do this thing. There is 77% of people who lose weight and get healthy, gain back the weight they lost. Why? Because it was done in an unsustainable way. They had a hole that they were searching to fill that didn't align along the way. And once they accomplished the certain outcome, it didn't make them feel any different. And so it comes back to this component of integrating everything together. And when I built Own It, that was the big thing I was focused on. Do you have to have an exercise routine? You're darn right you do. Do you have to have a new way of eating? You're darn right you do. Do you want to be able to supplement the right way? You sure do. Do you want to make sure you're sleeping well and have a recovery routine? You're darn right that's important. But you also have to have... the person who's gonna help you with self care, the person who's gonna get your mind right, the person who's gonna get your heart right, the people who are going to help you align in this way, which is why we've got everything in one place and everything had to be integrated. You can't be trying to put your own wheel together because when you put your own wheel together, you miss out. And so I wanted to create a space where somebody could walk in and everything is there. You're gonna come in, you're gonna have your team, your team that wraps their arms around you. You're gonna get your DNA testing, you're gonna get your cellular blood testing, you're gonna get your custom supplementation, you're gonna get your workout plan, you're gonna get your wearable piece of technology so that your health coaches and your functional medicine docs and your RDs can track everything and help you and guide you and put these things in place for you in a slow, iterative way so that over 12 months, you don't even recognize the habits you were in before. But on the same breath, you're gonna be working mentally, emotionally, and spiritually on identifying who you are and how do you get over this gap so we can create a bridge so that you do come in this state of oneness and you step into everything powerfully. And so as a business owner, as an executive, as a business leader, you have become transformed, not conformed to what we're telling you in the world. Seth Bradley Got it. So it truly is holistic, right? It's not let's start one thing two three four. It's all at once small steps to lead to a major change. Justin Roethlingshoefer 100%. And I think the reason that people aren't willing to have patience with it, they're not willing to be developed. Everybody wants to arrive. Everybody wants to get to the end result. But nobody's willing to take the trip. Nobody's willing to have great story. So we had a client who started, this guy owns 17 different franchises and he came to us about three months ago. Four weeks into his process, he called and goes, I'm unhappy, I'm not seeing changes. I've been in this for four weeks and I've just been adding some different habits. I'm looking at my wearable devices. I've just got my testing done. Nothing's changing yet. I said to him — and let's call this guy Chris — I said, Chris... We don't even have your full testing results back yet. We've only really started to implement a lot of these lifestyle changes and routines about three and a half weeks ago. We've only been able to get two really deep in-depth calls to get you realigned. We've only just started to add some of these things in. And you kind of talk him off a ledge, talk him off a ledge. He comes back, continues to be consistent. And just last week... He's been with us, like I said, for about three and a half months. Just last week, he sends us a screenshot. His quality of sleep used to be at about 37%. So REM and deep sleep totals over total time of sleep time. His quality sleep was always about 37%. He just passed 50%. His HRV, which is an intrinsic measure of how your body's adapting to stress and strain... was his average was about 24. Just for a little bit of context, your goal is to always see a trend line upwards. His trend line was always downwards. He has an average HRV now of 54. His respiration rate, meaning how many breaths per minute he's taking throughout the course of the day is dropping, meaning he's becoming more efficient. His blood glucose levels, because we've now tested twice, are half of what they were before. He was at a pre-diabetic level previously. His anxiety in terms of just talking is half of what it was and he's down 16 pounds. Seth Bradley Got it, got it. Yeah, and it's like that body up approach. It's easier to sell. The culture that we live in, it's just easier to sell products. It's easier to get people thinking they need to look a certain way. It's just that sales kind of approach, but it's backwards. You've got to get yourself right spiritually, mentally before the more the body type of physical things can even matter to you internally. Justin Roethlingshoefer I think, yes, I think you're right, but even as you start to look at that, why do you think we're more unhealthy now than ever? We are living in a place where there's more mental illness in our society than ever before. There's more anxiety than ever before. There's more depression than ever before. We're actually sicker physically than ever before. Diabetes is on the rise. Alzheimer's is on the rise. Alzheimer's is just type three diabetes. That's all it is. An inability to control blood sugar. We have an obesity epidemic rising. We have now 52% of Americans that are obese, not overweight, obese. And so it's not more information. It's not getting more of these things. It's not go do this, gym, go and do this thing. There is 77% of people who lose weight and get healthy, gain back the weight they lost. Why? Because it was done in an unsustainable way. They had a hole that they were searching to fill that didn't align along the way. And once they accomplished the certain outcome, it didn't make them feel any different. And so it comes back to this component of integrating everything together. And when I built Own It, that was the big thing I was focused on. Do you have to have an exercise routine? You're darn right you do. Do you have to have a new way of eating? You're darn right you do. Do you want to be able to supplement the right way? You sure do. Do you want to make sure you're sleeping well and have a recovery routine? You're darn right that's important. But you also have to have... the person who's gonna help you with self care, the person who's gonna get your mind right, the person who's gonna get your heart right, the people who are going to help you align in this way, which is why we've got everything in one place and everything had to be integrated. You can't be trying to put your own wheel together because when you put your own wheel together, you miss out. And so I wanted to create a space where somebody could walk in and everything is there. You're gonna come in, you're gonna have your team, your team that wraps their arms around you. You're gonna get your DNA testing, you're gonna get your cellular blood testing, you're gonna get your custom supplementation, you're gonna get your workout plan, you're gonna get your wearable piece of technology so that your health coaches and your functional medicine docs and your RDs can track everything and help you and guide you and put these things in place for you in a slow, iterative way so that over 12 months, you don't even recognize the habits you were in before. But on the same breath, you're gonna be working mentally, emotionally, and spiritually on identifying who you are and how do you get over this gap so we can create a bridge so that you do come in this state of oneness and you step into everything powerfully. And so as a business owner, as an executive, as a business leader, you have become transformed, not conformed to what we're telling you in the world. Seth Bradley Got it. So it truly is holistic, right? It's not let's start one thing two three four. It's all at once small steps to lead to a major change. Justin Roethlingshoefer 100%. And I think the reason that people aren't willing to have patience with it, they're not willing to be developed. Everybody wants to arrive. Everybody wants to get to the end result. But nobody's willing to take the trip. Nobody's willing to have great story. So we had a client who started, this guy owns 17 different franchises and he came to us about three months ago. Four weeks into his process, he called and goes, I'm unhappy, I'm not seeing changes. I've been in this for four weeks and I've just been adding some different habits. I'm looking at my wearable devices. I've just got my testing done. Nothing's changing yet. I said to him — and let's call this guy Chris — I said, Chris... We don't even have your full testing results back yet. We've only really started to implement a lot of these lifestyle changes and routines about three and a half weeks ago. We've only been able to get two really deep in-depth calls to get you realigned. We've only just started to add some of these things in. And you kind of talk him off a ledge, talk him off a ledge. He comes back, continues to be consistent. And just last week... He's been with us, like I said, for about three and a half months. Just last week, he sends us a screenshot. His quality of sleep used to be at about 37%. So REM and deep sleep totals over total time of sleep time. His quality sleep was always about 37%. He just passed 50%. His HRV, which is an intrinsic measure of how your body's adapting to stress and strain... was his average was about 24. Just for a little bit of context, your goal is to always see a trend line upwards. His trend line was always downwards. He has an average HRV now of 54. His respiration rate, meaning how many breaths per minute he's taking throughout the course of the day is dropping, meaning he's becoming more efficient. His blood glucose levels, because we've now tested twice, are half of what they were before. He was at a pre-diabetic level previously. His anxiety in terms of just talking is half of what it was and he's down 16 pounds.
