Podcast appearances and mentions of michael tamez

Health Coach, Wellness Author, and Motivational Speaker Michael Tamez, experienced a 15-year health transformation. On his incredible adventure, Michael lost 105 pounds, lowered his blood pressure, and reversed sleep apnea and advanced gum disease. This was all accomplished naturally, without drugs or surgery. Michael’s journey was intensified when he lost 5 family members in the course of 18 months. All of these experiences combined led Michael to discover his true passion in life. He is dedicated to guiding, empowering, and sharing the knowledge and wisdom he has acquired over the course of his lifetime. Drawing from this incredible health and life transformation, Michael published his award-winning book, Transformative Nutrition: The Ultimate Guide to Healthy and Balanced Living Favorite Success Quote “To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities” ~Bruce Lee Key Points 1. Most Health Problems are Not Physical  The majority of the health problems in the U.S. are not actually physical, they are mental and emotional. Most people do not smoke, overeat, or lead sedentary lifestyles for purely physical reasons. It is normally because of something in their life that they have not addressed. It could be a traumatic childhood, a broken relationship, death, or some other struggle you faced when you were younger. Just like the first step in overcoming addiction is to admit that you have a problem, the first step in overcoming health issues is to admit that you have baggage you have not dealt with. 2. To Lead a Balanced and Healthy Life You Need to Ask the Right Questions Tony Robbins says that the quality of your life is based on the quality of the questions that you ask yourself. If you are facing health struggles, you need to ask yourself these three questions to truly uncover the root cause of the issues in your life. 1) What Are You Holding On To? What happened in your life that you are still angry, depressed, or frustrated with? What are you really holding onto that is holding you back. 2) What is Life trying to Teach You? How can you reframe the thing that you are holding onto into something good? What is life trying to teach you through that struggle. 3) How Can I Move On? What steps do you need to take to move on with your life? Who do you need to forgive, what needs to be said, who needs to be removed from your life? 3. You Are Not Your Experiences So often, whenever we face something difficult in life, we are tempted to identify with that struggle or trauma. You are NOT your experience. There is more to you than the abuse, more to you than the breakup, more to you than the failure, more to you than any damn thing that has happened in your life. Your experiences are a part of your life, but they are not your life. Never forget that. 4.  You Need to Express Your Emotion As men, society has taught us to repress our emotions, this is one of the reasons for so much of the pain going on in the U.S. today. You have to express your emotions. You have to let things go and get them out of your body. It doesn’t matter how you express your emotions, just that you express them. Life can be difficult, but it is more difficult whenever you hide your feelings from the world and try and pretend that you are not in pain. 5. Create Your Own Opportunities  To hell with circumstances. Make your own opportunities. We live in one of the greatest times to be alive in human history. Now more than ever before, you have the chance to make yourself and your life into whatever you want it to be. Quit bitching about the cards you were dealt and start playing the hand until you win the game.

Losing weight isn't an easy task. Many people who have lost weight over the years know that the losing the weight is truly half of the battle. Keeping it off is equally as challenging. Michael Tamez, founder of Pizza, Beer, Yoga, joins the show to discuss how he lost 100 pounds nearly 20 years ago and has been able to keep it off ever since.  

Today, Diane talks to Michael Tamez about healthy and balanced living through changing how you think about food. Michael has been on a 15-year journey to lose over 100 pounds. They discuss the emotional and mental breakthrough Michael had in order to make this change. Michael attributes his weight gain to repressed emotions of anger and sadness which caused him to overeat. This in turn created high blood pressure, sleep apnea and other health problems.  Michael is a holistic health coach who helps people make permanent changes to their lives and the way they eat. He is also the author of the book “Transformative Nutrition: The Ultimate Guide to Healthy and Balanced Living”. Michael studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition which is where Diane also studied.  There, he completely relearned his attitude to food. Michael is now happily married, at his ideal weight and living a life he loves.  What you will learn:  Michael lost 70-75 pounds over 8-9 months.  After the weight loss his medical problems disappeared.  Stress in modern life can mimic other symptoms in the body.  Michael helps people live with less stress to help loose weight.  When stressed one reaches for the bad food.  Being healthy and balances is about managing stress and being conscious of what you eat.  Eating out for lunch each day affects your waist line and wallet.  Make a big dinner and eat leftovers the next day.  Invest in your health by taking time to make lunch.  A lot of the weight we hold onto isn’t physical, it’s emotional.  We are conditioned to eat by the media, surroundings and advertising.  By 2030 40% of US adults will be obese.  We have to unlearn all the things we know about food. Give up the dieting gimmicks and take your health into your own hands.  Investment into your health is more important than any monetary investment.  To make a fresh start write down three things that you’re grateful for.  A fresh start isn’t about the food, it’s about being emotionally balanced.  By being grateful you’ll start to treat yourself with respect and be more inclines to take the steps towards health.  Quotes:  "I love my life right now" "I stuffed my face because I was sad and angry not because I was hungry" "Stop dieting and start living."

Michael Tamez is a health and transformational coach, as well as an author and blogger. Like a lot of us, Michael is a corporate dropout. He made the leap because the work that he was doing was just not fulfilling enough for him. When Michael was first starting out, he really struggled with trying to find motivation as to what makes him unique and special, especially with all that competition out there. Listen in to today’s episode to find out how he was able to overcome negative mindsets and excel!   Key Insights & Aha Moments: *Grab a paper and pen while you listen to Michael’s interview! *We all have something that is special, unique, and different about us — we can really make ourselves irreplaceable. *Grab the free download! *Who is Michael and how did he get started? *Why did Michael make the leap, and leave his corporate career? *The whole system is designed to make you feel awful, instead of showcasing how unique and beautiful you are. *Michael was working 70+ hours a week on both his corporate job and his side hustle. *Why did Michael decide to write a book? *What kinds of things has Michael done to grow his business? *Leverage Google+ as you begin your marketing campaigns. *What does Michael say to the people out there who are afraid of putting themselves out there? *Patience really is the greatest life lesson you can have. *What kinds of challenges has Michael faced? *What tips does Michael have to help people who have a negative image of themselves? *Michael admits that he doesn’t watch a lot of TV, because it’s negative and filled with consumerism. *What’s the next step for Michael and his business?   Maven Moment: Michael hit home on so many topics for me, but the biggest takeaway was his conversation about visibility. I love talking about this, because I know a huge part of my audience is challenged with this. Ever single time I dig in and get on a client call, this is the number one problem that strikes up! You’re not being as visible as you think you are, and the reason for that is that most of you actually fear being visible, fear the rejection that may come with it. But you know what, you have to get out there, so that others can hear your message, and reap the benefits of your gifts!!   Mentioned in This Episode: Michellemcglade.com Maven Inner Circle Making The Maven Community on Facebook Helpareporter.com   Connect with Michael Website

Get in touch with us about meeting up and click here for more details. November Nutrition Month: Week 8-Dogmatic Approach to Nutrition   One of the members of our Open Sky Fitness Podcast Facebook Group shared her experience watching on a documentary on Netflix called "Food Choices."   It's great to learn about different diets and to be well informed about what you're eating. We want you all to know that there is not just one correct way to eat healthy. This prompted Devin and I to want to talk about why using a dogmatic nutrition approach is so problematic. If you watch this documentary, you will see that it uses a one-sided, dogmatic approach to nutrition. This approach basically uses scare tactics to teach people that the only way to live a healthy life and help the environment is to follow a plant-based only diet. What this documentary could have focused on instead is why we should always approach nutrition with an open mind and look at different facts, arguments, and discussions.   Nutrition Topics for October and November October: Week 1- Which Popular Diet is Best for You? Week 2-Kitchen Clean Out Hacks Deciding to make a change towards turning your life around by eating better, exercising more, and becoming an overall healthier you can be liberating, but also challenging. A health journey is much easier when there is someone there to support you each day. But what do you do if the people closest to you aren't 100% with you for your health goals? How can your family and relationships continue to grow when you want to make significant life changes? What can you do to help your loved ones eat better too? Where do you even begin talking to them about living a healthier life? As part of our October Nutrition Month, this week, Wellness Author and Health Coach, Michael Tamez, joins Devon and I as we share our favorite nutrition tips for the family. Have a specific question about nutrition? If you have any specific questions or concerns about nutrition, contact us by email at rob@openskyfitness.com and devon@openskyfitness.com. Talk about nutrition with us! We've already been discussing nutrition and motivation tactics on the Open Sky Fitness Podcast Facebook Group. It's a great group to talk with other people about health, share tips, and encourage each other to keep living a healthy lifestyle.

In accordance to different cultures and environments, groups of people will always follow different diets that are the best for them. Why? Because we all have different genetic makeup so one food that may be good for one person, might not be so healthy for another person. One great example is dairy. Only a small percentage of the population can digest dairy, but the rest do not have the genetics for that type of capabilty. Inuits have a diet that contains mostly meat because they can't grow vegetables in the cold. They need different sources of meat to help them live and stay healthy in that extreme environment. Aboriginal cultures eat off of the land and that includes reptiles, bugs, birds, plants and other sources of protein from fish when they can find it. Other cultures that follow different diets that we mention in the podcast include: Native Americans Tribes in Africa Okinawans Finnish Japanese Chinese Other cultures that purposefully drink raw milk Because of their environment and genetics, the diets of these cultures worked great for them compared to other diets. Even in the mainland part of the USA, we never used to eat as many grains and cereals as we do now. More grains and cereals were introduced into our diets because of the agricultural revolution.   Myths About Omnivore Diets   Myths About Proteins As humans, we are naturally omnivores and need both meat and plants in order to absorb the nutrition that our bodies need. According to the documentary, "Food Choice," we don't actually need as much protein like we thought we did. Therefore, there's no nutritious reason to eat meat when we can just eat plants. But our bodies do need that protein and there are plenty of healthy options to eat grass fed meat compared to grain fed meat. Our brains also need that protein from meat to stay strong and healthy. During the Paleothic era, our brains actually grew 20% once we began to consume meat from nature.  Our bodies are built to consume meat for protein because it is bioavailable and therefore easier to absorb the nutrients. Vegetarians can consume their protein from eggs and dairy, but it's much harder for vegans to consume the right amount of protein that their body needs just from grains and beans.   "It's possible to be healthy as a vegan or vegetarian, but it's more difficult and you have to be thoughtful all the time." - Devon Dionne   Myths About Cholesterol   "It has been highly debunked that meat has a direct connection to high cholesterol." - Rob Dionne   Not only it is false that meat has a connection to high cholesterol and it will kill you if you eat a lot of it, but it is also not true that a high fat diet causes cholesterol and that in turn causes heart disease. But what can make your cholesterol go up? A high intake of carbohydrates.  We also tend to forget that there are two types of cholesterol: HDL and LDL. Meat has LDL cholestoral and this is actually a good thing because LDL feeds your brain. What is bad about LDL is that it can become oxidized from the consumption of too many carbohydrates which can create plaque in your arteries.   Research and Choose a Diet That is Right for You Dogmatic approaches to nutrition like the one from "Food Choice" create a Doomsday mindset for us. They create fear in our minds that we have to follow their way or we'll get sick and die. The problem with dogmatic approaches to nutrition is that they don't bring up arguments from different opinions. Why would they? They purposefully don't want to create a sense of doubt with the information that they are proving so they can create a following and make money. We're not saying that you shouldn't follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, but that you should make healthy decisions about food based on what your body needs.  If you have strong beliefs about not eating any kind of animal, that's a wonderful thing and we're happy for you. We might not necessarily agree with that choice because we believe that meat is an important part of a nutritious diet, but if you believe that a vegetarian or vegan diet is right for you, that's great! If you follow a diet because of religious or other beliefs, that's beautiful as well. Discovering the Perfect Diet for You Devon and I really suggest that you look at both sides of the argument and look into different diets. Listen to your body and pay attention to your gut. A diet isn't right for you if you're experiencing any gut or gas problems, if you're sick a lot, or your energy is low. If your weight is not where you want it to be and you have trouble either gaining weight or losing weight, you may want to look into changing your diet as well. Look at your blood markers including sugar and protein levels. What is your body lacking and how can you fix it? Pay attention to your emotions as well. Is your thinking cloudy or are you having negative thoughts? Are you depressed? These are also all signs that your diet is not working of you and something has to be changed.   Start Building Your Own Workouts and Meal Plan! Download Results Tracker here!

Devon and I love receiving and answering questions from our listeners and this week we received a question via our Open Sky Fitness Podcast Facebook Group about egg nutrition. So, does the size and color of the egg/yolk make a huge difference as far as how healthy it is to eat? To begin, the egg color really depends on the breed of the chicken. If you notice that the eggs you buy are larger than other eggs, they most likely came from an older chicken. Why does this happen? As a chicken ages, they lay different sized throughout their life from small (younger chicken) to large (older chicken). As far as quality though, size doesn’t matter as much as the color of the yolk. The egg’s yolk will vary in color depending on the living environment that is provided for the chicken. If a chicken is kept inside all the time, in a cage, and with limited light, then the yolk will be lighter. If a chicken is naturally raised and allowed to be outside in the sun (Vitamin D!) and to eat better food such as bugs to receive real natural nutrients, the yolk will be darker. To conclude, if the yolk is darker, it’s better for you to eat that compared to light colored yolk. To listen to the entire explanation, start listening to the podcast at the 7:15 mark.    “YOUR PROCESS IS YOUR RESULT” Throughout your health journey, there will but a lots of ups and downs. You may feel discouraged at times, but just remember that “the process is the result.” Sometimes we don’t see consistent results in our health and fitness. Maybe you lose 4 pounds in a month, but the next month you only drop 2 more pounds. Don’t give up just yet. Devon and I are here to tell you that it’s okay that you don’t see consistent patterns as you work towards your health goal. Life happens and it’s filled with different surprises, new events, and sometimes difficult challenges. Pick yourself back up and continue on your health journey. Your health process will lead you to the result you want.    HOW TO BEGIN A HEALTHY JOURNEY AS A FAMILY   “(The source of our health struggles) is not the physical weight that we hold onto for years or for months. It’s the mental and emotional poisons that weigh us down. These poisons are heavier than physical weight on our bodies.”- Michael Tamez   To begin your own health journey, you have to find the reason why you desire this change in your life. Changing your health does not only focus on the physical aspect, but the mental and emotional parts too. We’re all on a health journey and conquering our health struggles is not as simple as just changing our diet. To really begin this journey, we need to find the source of the problem within ourselves.  And in that moment, that’s when we may really need our family’s support. To really connect with your family or close loved one about your desire to live healthy, talk to them. Have a heart-to-heart discussion about what is happening internally and why you want their support during your health journey.   WHAT IF YOUR FAMILY IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE? If your family is unsupportive, don’t get angry or frustrated. Rather than arguing about it, ask them questions about their health, thoughts, and needs. Don’t attack or blame anyone because that will create anger and frustration in your relationship with them. Everyone is on their own health journey and that includes the members of your entire family. Don’t force your family to be on the same health journey as you or to start their own if they’re not ready for it yet. What else can you do? Approach the discussion with love. Ask them what they need for their own health and what they want too.   THE FAMILY THAT COOKS TOGETHER, BONDS TOGETHER There are several, simple ways to incorporate healthy food and relationship bonding at the same time with your family. Cook dinner together and share tasks so that everyone takes part in creating the meal. Cooking creates interactions and a deeper presence within each other’s lives. Have a sports fan in the family? Bond over sporting events by making a snack together such as an avocado dip for chips.   HOW TO GET KIDS INTERESTED IN NUTRITIOUS FOODS Make food a learning experience for children. The easiest way to do this is to allow them to help in the process of creating the food and/or meal. Ask them to help you with simple tasks like making a salad dressing. Not only will they begin to love cooking because you’re allowing them to be part of the process, but they’ll be more interested in healthier foods too. Start a family vegetable garden in the backyard. Your kids and the rest of the family will be so happy and eager to eat a salad that grew because of their hard work! Food is another great way to teach children how nutritious foods help our bodies grow and become strong. There are many available images out there that demonstrate the correlation of foods to body parts and how they look so similar.     Source: http://www.dietoflife.com/amazing-foods-resemble-body-parts-beneficial/    ABOUT MICHAEL TAMEZ Michael Tamez is an Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) Holistic Health Coach, a certified Reiki and Kahuna energy healing practitioner, and is listed on the national board for the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).

Michael Tamez: Permanent Weight Loss Expert, Author

Michael was morbidly obese, had severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and advanced gum disease. Not only did he lose 105 pounds, but he also reversed all of his lifestyle-related health conditions. This enabled him to transform the dysfunctional relationship he had with food, his lifestyle, and his true self. Michael's health journey was intensified when he lost five family members in eighteen months. Because of the impact these losses had on his life, Michael was forced to have major breakthroughs with the things that were the most difficult to deal with. After experiencing all of these life transformations, he was highly inspired to become a certified health coach and also wrote an empowering book about healthy and balanced living. 

Today on Small Change Big Shifts I am speaking with the creator and holistic health coach of Transformative Nutrition, Michael Tamez. In his early 20s Michael weighed 245 pounds. He had severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure, gum disease, and a whole lot of resentment for himself. His sleep apnea was so bad that he was falling asleep at work and even behind the wheel of his company car. Fast forward to 2001 and Michael was ready for change. He was ready to break the cycle of emotional eating. He was tired of living the way he was... He was ready to release the weight and sleep without the CPAP machine. Tune into today to hear how Michael went from emotional eater to a healthy holistic coach helping others with their relationship with food. 

Todays guest entrepreneur joining us on the Join Up Dots Steve Jobs inspired free podcast interview is a man who has had an amazing journey through a physical transformation, leading to his own successful business. He is now the weight loss coach and operates in a very different way to weight watchers and any other programs you may have followed. As he says ” I was in a bad state. I was morbidly obese, had severe obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and advanced gum disease. But instead of it allowing it to be my legacy I did something about it. So not only did I lose 105 pounds (47kg) and reverse all of those lifestyle related health conditions, I also transformed the dysfunctional relationship I had with food, my lifestyle, and my true self.” Now this was a journey that has taken over 13 years to occur, a difficult transformation experience that was intensified when he also lost five family members within eighteen months. Because of the tremendous impact of these losses, he was forced to have major mental, emotional, and spiritual breakthroughs in some the most difficult times of his life, which lead him to writing a book and finding his thing. And that thing is what you maybe asking? His mission is to educate people who want to fully experience living a healthy and balanced life by reaching all their wellness goals. By supporting their health through nutrition and balanced living, he inspires a permanent, transformative shift in the way people eat, think, feel, live and love. And that my listeners seems to be a very good mission to have? So was he always on the path to health issues, or was it simply a case of overindulging over a long period of time? And is the transformation towards a physical change started by making the mental change, or does it not matter? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Michael Tamez

Whether you're a supportive coach or a person on the wellness journey looking to lose 40, 50, or even 100 pounds or more, the light at the end of the tunnel can sometimes seem dark. Hours on the treadmill. Counting calories in MyFitnessPal. Starving yourself. But what if losing weight had less to do with diet and exercise and ultimately was more about the emotional intelligence you have in your most authentic self? Finding Your Authentic Self From doing the powerful inner-work, letting go of his past, and changing his behavior, Holistic Health Coach and Author Michael Tamez was able to shift his functional relationship with food and realize his most authentic self to lose over 100 pounds. Michael Tamez is a certified holistic health coach and the author of "Transformative Nutrition" The Ultimate Guide To Healthy& Balanced Living." He's stopping by Wellness Force today to share his 15 year story of overcoming severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure, advanced gum disease, and going through layers of self resentment to then transcend and transform his life to let go of a surreal amount of weight. Hiding Behind The Fat At age 20, Michael was morbidly obese, had severe obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and advanced gum disease. By coming out of hiding and facing the anger in his heart, not only did he lose 100 pounds and reverse all of those lifestyle related health conditions, he also transformed the dysfunctional relationship he had with food, his lifestyle, and his true self. This health transformation experience was intensified when he lost five family members within eighteen months. Because of the tremendous impact of these losses, Michael was forced to have major mental, emotional, and spiritual breakthroughs in some the most difficult times of his life. After experiencing all of these life transforming deaths, he was highly inspired to write an empowering book about life. In Michael’s book, Transformative Nutrition: The Ultimate Guide to Healthy and Balanced Living, he describes his influential health journey in detail. Having been on the other side of balance, Michael can relate very closely to what people deal with when it comes to weight issues and lifestyle related health imbalances. Healthy And Balanced Living His unique and progressive approach is not just for people who want to lose weight or eat healthier; it is intended for anyone who wants to establish a functional, healthy relationship with their body, meanwhile impacting every area of their life. Michael's mission is to inspire a permanent shift in the way people eat, think, feel, live and love. More from Michael's Work: "Unless you address the underlying causes of being overweight in the first place, the weight is most likely going to eventually return. The second question is going to take some work. That is what my whole book is about. People don’t become overweight overnight, do they? I know I didn’t. Therefore, they aren’t going to become skinny overnight either. Even if someone could magically wake up 50 pounds lighter, do you honestly think all of the negative mental and emotional attachments to being overweight will disappear? I can tell you from my permanent weight loss journey of initially losing almost 70 pounds over the course of the first year, those attachments took many years to break free from even after losing the weight."

I ate fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, not caring at all about the consequences. I thought exercise was a joke, and it got to a point where I’d get winded just tying my shoes. Weight loss wasn’t even on my radar." - Michael Tamez [tweetthis]"Fat loss has less to do with diet & exercise.

On today's show, Mark and Rick interview coach and author, Michael Tamez (12:56). Then it's another moderately funny edition of the Humans Being Human and the return of Mel and the Naked Mouse story (49:48). They wrap with a discussion about an article about elderly people and the tip of the week which is -- invest in things that will make you healthier (1:06:27). They talk to Michael about when his birthday is, his story, the scale is a thief and a liar, how to go from change to transformation, owning who you are, crying men, and learning from life. Before they talk to Michael, Mark and Rick discuss Mark's dog's terrible instinctual acting out and Mark's daughter has his “can't keep a good secret” gene. Thanks for listening!

Jenny Maher - Grew up in California, at 18 I joined the Air Force to be a Medical Lab Technician, which I loved. After being medically discharged suffering with bipolar disorder and severe depression. I went to live in Denver Colorado where I lived for 13 years. I now live independently and happy in Richmond Virginia. Through most of my life what was harder then the abuse, jail, paralyzed, treated harshly, or depending on others after paralysis, was being alone. Though now that Jesus Christ is in my heart I've never felt alone, at least not in the same way, He has lifted the weight that I had dealt with by hurting myself, now I talk to Him.
