Our health, fitness, and mindset have never been more important than right now. It’s imperative that our personal care, habits, routines, and exercise program is dialed-in so that we can fortify our bodies, minds, and souls.   In today’s episode, I'm sharing Why America Needs Gyms Now!!! I present 6 reasons why all studios, gyms, and clubs worldwide need to open up and start serving people MORE now than ever before. I also share in the episode some of the important guidelines and regulations to follow when opening up the gym with due respect that every studio/gym/club follows local mandates and guidelines. This will ensure they are as safe as going into any store, restaurant, or other places you may visit. Except gyms will actually GET you healthy, build your immunity, and GET YOUR MIND RIGHT!   The bottom line is this... gyms are the oxygen and lifeline to many people’s great health, vitality, energy, and community. The trainers, coaches, leaders, and owners are the fire-breathing dragons who are literally breathing life, positivity, and hope into a darkened time. NOW is NOT the time for gyms to be closed. NOW is the time for them to be OPEN, serve as lighthouses, and provide some much-needed LIGHT and inspiration into our world that so desperately needs it.   My hope is that you find something in this episode that will fire you up and get you, your clients/members, families, friends, and co-workers back in your local studio or gym this week. Show-up there and your LIFE will be better. And so will the world. Listen to the episode and you will understand WHY.   If you are a trainer, coach, life-transformer, or fitness enthusiast who loves working out, please share this episode on your social media. It’s a great conversation starter to educate people WHY they need their studios, gyms, or clubs to open...NOW!      Please Tag me: IG/Twitter:  @ToddDurkin Facebook: @ToddDurkinFQ10  #AmericaNeedsGyms #ToddDurkin #IMPACTShow #Episode94   More on the episode: :22- Traveling to the East Coast for college visits.  2:50- I’m declaring my Fitness MANIFESTO.

After a trip to the Mayo Clinic and countless sleepless nights, John Redmond was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and encouraged to totally change his diet to one that was light on fruits and vegetables and heavy on processed foods. John Redmond knew there had to be a better way, and after a dietitian recommended a smoothie regimen, he went out to find a way to make a convenient, affordable single-serve option. Thus, Better Blends was born. John and Kristen banter about his morning routine, why he drinks two cups of hot water every morning, his culinary aspirations that he's fallen short of during quarantine, and more.

Are there safe sugar substitutes?Limiting sugar in your diet is more important than ever.Research has shown how damaging sugar is to the body -- not just in terms of weight gain, but also because of its inflammatory properties, diabetic influence, and the changes it can even make in the brain. But, everyone likes to have a little something "sweet" now and again. Synthetic artificial sweeteners produce their own dangerous side effects. Are there safe sugar substitutes?David Rosenberg, Food Category Manager at NOW Foods, explains that monk fruit is one of the best sugar substitutes on the market. Using it in baked goods and things like smoothies, plain yogurt, and coffee or tea is a great way to get a little sweetness with none of the calories. Plus, it's completely natural -- no artificial ingredients.David joins Andrea and Lisa to discuss the dangers of sugar, which sugar substitutes are safe (and unsafe), and how you can use monk fruit to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Companies are seeking greater transparency through the supply chain, with ingredient buyers looking to truly understand where their ingredients are sourced and produced. In June 2018, Heather Granato, vice president of content, took part in IngredientsOnline.com’s inaugural Technology & Transparency Tour. While on the ground visiting five different primary suppliers, she chatted with fellow travelers from companies including ADH Health, Cott Beverage Solutions, Innophos, the National Animal Supplement Council, NOW Foods, Promotion in Motion, Shaklee and Threshold.

GMPs (good manufacturing practices) require an own label distributor/brand holder to test their products with scientifically valid methods, but it’s up to brands to decide if it’s best to test in house or by using a third-party lab. A lot of factors that go into that decision, including time, resources, expertise and equipment. Aaron Secrist, vice president of quality and regulatory affairs, NOW Foods discusses the resources that a brand needs to set up an inhouse lab and when it makes sense for a brand to use a contract lab rather than keep the testing in house. Secrist and Sandy Almendarez, editor in-chief, INSIDER, cover: • The pros and cons of both in-house and outside third-party contract lab testing • What GMPs specially outline for supplement testing • What to look for when entering a partnership with a third-party contract lab

Sometimes the best things happen by accident. Sometimes an idea develops into something you weren't expecting. That's what happened with this podcast episode. It's also what happened with Orange Mud and their hydration products. In chatting with Josh Sprague (Founder & CEO of Orange Mud) I learned all about his adventures, hydration on the trail, and the culture of care that's developed at Orange Mud. I love when I hear things like this. I have a habit of setting myself up for success with interviews and product reviews. What I mean by that is, I usually only ever seek out or respond to opportunities that I have a feeling I'm going to like or that will go well. I suppose that's more or less how many people tend to operate, huh? Usually, it works out the way I figure it will. Every once in a while I'm proven wrong. Sometimes, though, it goes even better than I expected. Sometimes I learn things about a person, product, or company that make me fall in love. That's what happened with NOW Foods, and it seems to be happening with Orange Mud. I have to say, after our chat, I'm all about Orange Mud. I love their gear (I'm testing out the Endurance Pack 2.0), I love their culture, and I love what they stand for. If you're looking for a new hydration pack, you should check them out. And you should DEFINITELY give a listen to episode 97 of the So THIS Is Fitness podcast so you can hear our whole chat. You'll probably dig it just as much as I did.

Technology is transforming the supply chain, improving companies’ abilities to produce ingredients and bring them to market, as well as make it easier to access information at any point of production. On a trip to China, Informa’s Heather Granato discussed the topic with professionals from companies including ADH Health, Cott Beverage Solutions, Innophos, the National Animal Supplement Council, NOW Foods, Promotion in Motion, Shaklee and Threshold.

Sometimes treasure is hiding in plain sight. I don't know everything... nor will I ever claim to. When I find some new information that I feel has benefit not only to me, but to others... I want to share it! In the not-too-distant past I discovered "essential oils". I had seen them in passing but didn't know what they were... and didn't feel the need to investigate. As far as I knew they were just a small army of weird little bottles behind the counter at the natural food/supplement stores. When I went to NOW Foods headquarters in Illinois for a blogger event, though... one of our info workshops was all about essential oils. Boy oh boy... what a game-changer! I was impressed, intrigued, and I had to know more. From there, I totally fell down the rabbit hole, and I feel like everyone should know the benefits of this stuff.  THAT is why I chatted for an hour with Tina, Neil, and Alana from NOW Health Group (NOW Foods) all about "essential oils". This episode serves as a primer on all things "essential oil" - think of it as Essential Oils 101 - What YOU need to know about them. This is also the kick-off to what may end up being a WHOLE YEAR'S WORTH of articles, posts, and recipes. So BUCKLE UP - this is gonna be a good one :D So... how bout the basics? There is a TON of information in this episode, but let's break down some of the most basic basics to give you an idea. -Essential Oils are a liquid. These are oils/liquids that are distilled from a plant of some kind - like lavender, orange, clove, and many others. It's said that they were originally called essential oils because they were believed to hold the very essence of the aroma and the plant itself. There are two main methods used - steam distillation or cold pressing. In the end, sure, what's extracted is likely the very stuff of the plant that makes it smell like what it is. When it's all said and done they come in a little tiny glass bottle, typically amber colored. -Essential Oils are a "volatile aromatic compound". The really simple way to explain this is: "Volatile" means this liquid/oil very easily goes from liquid to gas at a relatively low temperature, like room temperature. Don't forget - when you smell something, it's because itty bitty particles of the thing itself have hit your smell receptors! So when you take the cap off and smell what's in the bottle, that's the liquid turning to gas and going in your nose! It happens that easily, and that's part of what makes essential oils ideal for aromatherapy. -There are a few different ways to use essential oils. The two main ways to use essential oils are topically and via aromatherapy. Topical uses include massage oil, in a bath, a spray mist, a roll-on stick, and many others. Aromatherapy use could be through a room spray or, more commonly, a diffuser. There IS a third way - internally. This method, however, is VERY controversial and can be dangerous. -Essential oils should be treated with caution. Essential oils are typically sold at 100% purity. They are very potent and should ALWAYS be mixed or diluted to prevent irritation, burning, and other adverse reactions. Typically, a 1% to 3% ratio is what is recommended for normal use. There are some essential oils that, in their pure undiluted form, should NEVER come into contact with skin. There are even MORE essential oils that should NEVER be ingested or otherwise taken internally. A good rule of thumb - if it's not the essential oil of a plant or fruit you'd actually eat in real life, you shouldn't consume the oil. The EVEN SAFER option? Simply do not ingest essential oils unless you've got doctor's orders. -There are plenty of benefits, both proven and unproven. Odds are your doctor will never tell you to ingest essential oils. As a matter of fact, they probably won't tell you to use them at all. At present, there's not a whole lot out there in the scientific community that suggests essential oils should be used medicinally. You'll hear many stories, websites, and people telling you that it's great for cuts and bruises, that it's great to calm an upset stomach, etc... but at present the science simply isn't supporting that. There ARE, however, plenty of acknowledged benefits for mood and mental health. I mean, YOU just try and smell some fresh lemon oil without smiling :) There's SO much more to essential oils than just what's right here. Give a listen and see what you think!

(See www.SoTHISIsFitness.com/podcast36 for extended show notes/blog) It's rare to find a company that cares. All we tend to see in the news about big corporations is how they're screwing the little guy, driving mom and pop out of business, and focusing solely on profit over people. When you come across a company that's doing it right... well, it can catch you off-guard. It's refreshing, to say the least, but it really makes you take notice because of how rare it is. I have taken notice - NOW Foods is one such company. "If you have to ask if you're doing the right thing... you're not." That came out of the CEO's mouth during our 2 day "influencer immersion event", where we toured the facilities, learned all about NOW, and just generally got the royal treatment. It was impressive to hear something like that come from a major CEO... and it wa even more impressive to see it reflected in the company and its staff in real life. So... why does a company care? Why go to all that trouble, as he describes in our chat, to ensure quality without charging twice as much?
