I know that this podcast is directed toward the hockey community, but this episode is for everyone because if we don't have our health if we get sick, we can't do anything. For the longest time after retiring from the NHL, nutrition didn't make much of a blip on the radar screen. I hate to admit it, but there was a period of time, where I'd eat an entire extra large pizza by myself, never thinking about the long-term health consequences I could face years down the road. I'm grateful that my oldest son Rem, made educating himself on nutrition a high priority, and his knowledge creeped into the Pitlick household, and our view on food is completely different than it was 5-6 years ago, and all I can tell you is that words like fruits, vegetables and organic now make up the majority of our grocery list. Over the past 8 months, I've made reading or listening to something related to nutrition, content that I consume now every week. I'm constantly surprised at how much I still don't know. For this episode, I'll be quoting 3 books that I've provided the links to each of the titles, if you want to pick-up a copy of your own and read it in its entirety. With that being said, thanks for stopping by and enjoy the show.

Ronny Joseph Lvovski struggled with a lifetime of obesity, failed diets, and low self-esteem before discovering the Paleo diet. Once he eliminated grains and dairy from his diet, his allergies, asthma, upset stomachs, headaches, back pain, lethargy, excess weight, and cravings disappeared. After losing 40 pounds, Ronny set out to create gourmet-quality meals that followed The Paleo Diet guidelines and left him feeling satisfied. He shared those recipes on his Primal Gourmet blog, and became one of the most popular contributors to the Whole30 Recipes Instagram account. The Primal Gourmet Cookbook, Ronny's first cookbook, is fully endorsed by Whole30 and includes a foreword by Whole30 co-creator and host off Do the Thing podcast Melissa Hartwig. The cookbook includes more than 120 recipes, with blog fan-favorites plus all-new dishes such as Mojo Loco Chicken Wings, Short Rib Ragu, Jerk Ribs, and Moroccan Lamb Stew, proving healthy diets really can be delicious. Then sit back and enjoy a nice cup of coffee while we talk to Jeff Lincoln the founder of Passero's Coffee Roasters a family-run business that has been serving the Philadelphia region for more than 30 years that started in SEPTA - iseptaphilly.com Suburban Station Station Shops.

Since launching in 2019, the company has grown a loyal and avid following in Visit Pittsburgh and beyond. Maestros' Sauce Co. is helmed by a team of four friends that share a common love for hot sauce.

While adopting a regular exercise and clean-eating routine, he noticed a lack of portable, nutritious food options; there seemed to be only an endless array of processed, artificial, low-quality snack bars with unpronounceable ingredients and misleading labels. Sadly, the few legitimately healthy bars that he found tasted like dirt. It was then that Rooney assembled a team of fitness and culinary experts and became laser focused on creating an honest snack that would never compromise taste or nutrition.DNX is BornHence, the DNX Bar – standing for Daily Nutrition – was born. It’s a 100% clean, nutrient-rich bar made with wholesome and organic ingredients that doesn’t sacrifice taste.Convenient NutritionThe bar combines grass-fed beef & bison, and free range chicken, with organic fruits and vegetables, delivering a wholesome snack that’s both nutritious and intensely satisfying.

Melissa Hartwig Urban, co-founder and CEO of Whole30, was the first guinea pig for her diet. “I was eating pretty healthy whole foods, I was exercising a ton: but what the Whole30 showed me in that first self-experiment were all the ways that I was using food to comfort, reward and punish myself, and to self-soothe to relieve anxiety,” she said of the origins of her diet plan, which has become a movement. Melissa spoke to Technori on the sidelines of the recent G2 Reach conference, which was held September 11 in Chicago. For the uninitiated, the idea of Whole30 is to break the pattern of unhealthy diet habits by taking on a highly restrictive diet for 30 days: that includes cutting out dairy, sugar and grains, among other ingredients.

Food is complicated. The “rules” change all the time, and every body is different. So how do you decide what’s right for you? For Melissa Hartwig-Urban, Co-creator of Whole30 and four-time New York Times bestselling author, it was a process. She started blogging about her “elimination diet” as a way to improve her training and recovery and share her results with her training community. Ten years later, her approach has become one of today’s most-popular eating programs: The Whole30. In this episode, Melissa explains why The Whole30 isn’t meant to be a long-term diet but, rather, an experiment to figure out which foods work best for you. She also provides us with tips on how we can learn to identify, cook, and eat “real food,” how to make meditation a consistent part of training, and how we can all cultivate a healthier relationship with food in order to bolster our performance, recovery and mindset.

Whole 30 has been around for about a decade now and its popularity parallels the growing interest in “clean eating.” It was started by Melissa Hartwig, a Certified Sports Nutritionist and co-creator of the original Whole30 program, which has now grown into a true franchise with four New York Times bestselling books.  In this episode of Diet Decoded, Jon and Megan break down everything you need to know before considering if the restrictive 30-day “reset” plan is for you. You may have to give up a lot in 30 days (bye-bye grains, legumes, added sugars and alcohol), but are the short-term and long-term rewards worth it? Listen in to see for yourself.

Are you struggling to change your eating habits? Melissa Hartwig, the nutritionist and best-selling author of the Whole30 Book - The 30-Day Guide to Total Health and Food Freedom (which has now sold over 2 million copies) shares with you how to forever change your life by changing what you eat.

One of the lessons we keep on learning from all our incredible guests -- from Kobe Bryant, to General Stanley McCrystal, to Melissa Hartwig - and pretty much every guest we’ve had on the podcast -- is that they all worked super hard over many, many, many years to achieve their Big Dreams.   Each person goes through a long, challenging journey and overcomes countless obstacles to turn their dreams into reality -- it certainly does not magically happen overnight. Today, we are super excited because for so long we have looked for the perfect analogy -- the perfect story - to powerfully demonstrate this lesson of persistent effort over a long period of time -- and we finally found it!   Specifically, we came across a video of one of the world’s most dynamic speakers, Les Brown, sharing the powerful story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree. We instantly just knew that our Big Dreamers needed to hear this story. For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/122

A few months ago, we talked about developing a "5 commandment" list for yourself - five statements that if you lived by them each day and made decisions by them, you'd be living a life centered around the values you want your life to be marked by. I've edited my list since then; I changed one statement. Here are my five commandments: Love God. Prioritize people. Choose health. Spend intentionally. Create consistently. You can check out episode 62 if you want to understand what those mean to me or more about why or how to create that list. Since that episode, we've been talking about tools and tactics we need to make lasting change in our lives. This is the last episode in that series and I wanted to summarize it all for you today by showing you an example of how all the pieces could work together. When I compare how I'm actually living with how I want to be living, there is a definite gap in two of those commandments. I'm not doing a good job of choosing health or creating consistently. Actually, I'm writing very consistently, but I've not been in the art studio in months. And I have some deadlines coming up for some pieces that need to be finished. I need to find a way to work that into my schedule. The bigger problem is my health. In the last year, I've gone from being in the best shape of my adult life to terrible shape. I'm neither eating right nor exercising. That has to change, I feel terrible and it keeps me from doing things I want to do and living the way I want to live. Today I'm going to walk you through how I can use all the tactics we've talked about to get my eating back on track. I'm going to go through the steps in the order I presented them in the January and February episodes. Game Plan for Eating Healthier A few things to remember as we dig into making a plan… Change is a process. Treat the process as a research scientist would. Identify the following people in your life: Mentor, Cheerleader, Partner There are different types of relationships that can help you succeed. Mentors can be people you know and meet with or people you learn from online, in books or by media like this podcast. This one I'm going to have to think about. If I do another round of Whole 30, then Melissa Hartwig, (creator of Whole 30) would be considered a mentor. If I do a four to six-week stint of vegan eating, then I'd count Forks Over Knives as a mentor, as well as a handful of friends who are vegan. But, I'm leaning towards doing a more sustainable, long-term plan, so I'm going to have to work on this one after I decide what exactly I'm doing. Cheerleaders are another personal resource. These are people who encourage you along the way. I have a friend I meet with weekly and I'll recruit her specifically to be a cheerleader as well as a long-distance friend who's changed her eating habits dramatically over the last few years. Partners are people walking the same road at the same time. My family will be partnering in this to some extent, but they may not be entirely enthusiastic partners. I'd also love if you partnered with me. You don't need to do the same thing I'm doing, but if you'd be interested in participating in a 30 day Healthier You challenge alongside me, sign up here and I'll send you some info about how to get started and open up a private facebook group as well. Identify unhealthy relationships that would sabotage your change-making. I'm going to have to think further about this one, I can't think of any unhealthy relationships off the top of my head (I've weeded out many of them already). This might include people who encourage overindulging, or who I only get together to eat ice cream with or people who don't have a focus on a healthy lifestyle. INTERNAL FACTORS Put yourself in your default future. My default future if I continue down this path is that I'll most likely be on medication for weight and diet-related disease. This could be heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or any number of other issues. I won't be able to enjoy life as much or play with my grandkids. Things that I love to do will be much more difficult and so I probably won't do them. Things like hiking, kayaking, and beach-walking. I don't want those days to be over. I don't want to spend my time in a hospital. I don't want to be constantly dealing with medications and doctors. I don't want the constant pain and inflammation I'm feeling now. I don't want the second half of my life to be lived on the sidelines from a recliner. I want to be active. If I keep on like this, that won't happen. Face the whole truth. The whole truth right now is that I'm an overweight, middle-aged mom. I'm hampered by my weight gain and by my body's reaction to the foods I'm eating. I'm uncomfortable, but not doing anything about it. There is nothing good on this path except immediate, momentary satisfaction that only lasts until the next cookie. And, I'm being a terrible role model for my son. I'm not acting like I value health right now. Obsess over the why. Because I want to feel good. I want to be functionally fit. I want to be able to move and react easily and freely. I want to be able to run, dance, jump, walk, and skip, just for the joy of movement. I want to play on the floor with my grandkids (assuming I ever have grandkids). There is too much world left to explore to be unhealthy. Gamify it: Limited time, Small Actions, Scoring I'm going to work on healthy eating for the rest of the year, but I'm going to work in 30-day increments to keep the time frame smaller and more immediate. I'll start this plan on March 1st. For this month I'm going to use an incentive to gamify the process and I'll talk about that in a few minutes. And I'll track each successful day in my journal. I'm going to use a long-term incentive too. I'm going to consider a month successful If I've made all good choices for 25 days out of the month. When I reach 10 successful months, I'll treat myself to something I've wanted for a long time, a stand-up paddleboard. I'm going to cut a photo of one up in 10 pieces and begin to put it back together again as I complete each successful month. Create a personal vision statement. This is a statement that I will repeat to myself before I eat anything. I'm going to start by trying:   I make healthy choices so that I can hike, travel and play with my grandkids. Identify skills you need to make the change. I need to make a decision on how I'm going to eat and I need to carve out time for planning meals. How can you acquire these skills? I'll make a decision on what to eat and create a meal plan before March 1. Mostly, that's not acquiring skills, but spending time pulling recipes together. And I think it's going to be slightly different than anything I've done before, so I may need to do some online research. How can you practice willpower in small steps? List three steps you can take in the order of increasing difficulty. Step one: good choices at home for snacks Step two: good choices at my Tuesday and Wednesday meetings where there's food present Step three: good choices when I'm surrounded by bad food all day on Sundays Who can you recruit to help you manage the harder challenges? The women in my groups and on my Sunday ministry team EXTERNAL FACTORS What positive incentives can you add to your plan? (small rewards, reward actions, not results) I'm going to put $1 a day in a jar each day I make good choices all day. After a month I can spend that or keep adding to it. What negative incentives can you add to your plan? That $1 a day? If I don't make good choices, it's going in another jar and I'll donate it to a charity I totally disagree with. Build personal boundaries. For the next month, I'll order groceries online once a week. This keeps me from making bad choices when I'm there and limits my options for making bad choices at home. Distance yourself from trouble. I'll eliminate the junk and tempting things from the kitchen. I'll move anything remaining to the back of the pantry where I tend to forget it…or the other end of the house. Or, I'll throw it away if that doesn't work. Create behavior prompts. I'm putting some photos of travel, hiking, and kayaking inside my kitchen cabinets. Maybe do some art pieces or put some posters up too that will remind me subconsciously of who I am. Harness your inner lazy. I need a meal plan. If I have a 30-day meal plan, I'll follow it. I tend to fall off the wagon far more easily when I work without a plan. When I have a meal plan in place, I have to make an effort to break it, and if I do, I know I waste time, food and money, which I don't like. Use tools. I'm going to track food and water for a month. I've done this before and it really helps with awareness and accountability. That's it! Remember, these tactics are about how you're going to support yourself as you make changes and not what you're changing. Also, parts of this might not work. I'll try it for a month and see. I'm sure there are other things along the way I'll think of and I'll add them in as I go along. This process isn't limited to making changes in how you eat. You can use it for any change you want to make. What do you need to change? You'll be far more likely to be successful if you make a plan. If you do want to come along with me on a Healthier You challenge in March, click here and join in. I'm actually doing exercising alongside healthier eating, so I'll probably be talking a bit about that as well. You don't need to be doing what I'm doing, but we can help partner in making good choices and sticking to our own plans. Let's see what we can start to accomplish in the next 30 days!
