In today's episode, we're talking about sugar! Did you know sugar doesn't just affect your waistline—it rewires your brain? Cutting out processed added sugar for 30 days can transform your neurochemistry, your focus, and even your mood. Let's dive in to what happens to your brain when you give added sugar the heave ho. When I say sugar, I am not talking whole fruit, dates or raw honey. I'm talking about when you read a label and see numbers in the added sugar category. Recognize these added sugars hijack our brain's reward system, leaving us craving more and feeling worse once the reward response is finished. -------- ➡️Shake the Sugar Lifestyle Guide  Ask your lifestyle health questions on social media, tag @drwholeness and use #accumulatehealth. -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:

Most people agree that sugar tastes good. Yet most people don't know that "tasty sugar" is also a chronic, dose-dependent hepatotoxin. Put another way, sugar is a liver toxin when you eat too much too often. There's a safe threshold for sugar, just like there's a safe threshold for arsenic. But most people in today's society eat WAAAAY above that safe threshold. That's why, in this week's new podcast, I'm gonna tell you what happens when you STOP eating sugar. So if you're eating sugar and you also struggle with: Sugar cravings Low energy/fatigue Fatty liver Vision problems (including vision correction) A weak immune system A bad (or declining) memory Heart disease (or risk of heart disease) Diabetes or pre-diabetes Moodiness, anger, and/or anxiety Brain fog Intestinal issues like gas, bloating, and heartburn Then tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle to learn what happens when you get off the sugar. It might be exactly what you need to finally free yourself from sugar's choke hold on your health. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

"Shame is a paradigm that distances us from our power. It's a paradigm within ourselves that, when internalized, it keeps us from recognizing our own experience in a variety of ways, and also recognizing our own experience as valuable.... There's this whole culture that tells us to love ourselves, right? And, well, have you even gotten to know yourself? It's like self love just kind of happens when you really get to know yourself."Listen in on a fascinating conversation between Leela Sinha and Sara Rhiannon (she/her), a hypnotist who uses somatic work and other interventions designed to un-shame the psyche. Sara has a particular specialty in helping people remove their cravings for sugar. Sara and Leela discuss the intersections of shame and anti-oppression work; kindness and redemption; creating safety and honesty in working groups; and that mushy feeling in your brain when you're learning something and seeing how your brain can be different than it was. Which, naturally, some people love, and others... well, not so much.Links!Find Sara on Facebook by name, or as quit_sugar_coach on Instagram or TikTok.For more on David Bedrick, visit https://www.davidbedrick.com/For more on Kimberly Shepherd, check out: https://www.kimberlyshepherd.com/Transcript and notes:https://dev.intensivesinstitute.com/episode/interview-sara-rhiannon-the-quit-sugar-coachRecorded 9 June 2023.

Is sugar bad for you? Yes! Let's talk about why. Sugar has been heavily studied, and it's been concluded that a high amount of added sugar is significantly associated with 45 negative health effects. Some of the potential side effects of sugar consumption include: • Diabetes • Asthma • Depression • Stroke • Heart attack • Gout • Hypertension • Dementia • Cancer • Early death Even if you don't have a weight problem, it's crucial for your health to cut down your sugar intake. Forty percent of people with normal weight have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome includes high blood glucose, fatty liver, and high cholesterol. Sugar is very toxic—fructose may be as toxic as alcohol. When you eat sugar, you're supporting the harmful sugar industry. On top of that, you're destroying your body. Switching to keto-friendly desserts and sugar-free chocolate is a great way to transition off of a high-sugar diet.

My guest today is Sarah WilsonSarah started I Quit Sugar in 2011 as a lifestyle experiment for a column she was writing. This led to an e-book, then three New York Times bestsellers and a business that saw 1.5 million people signing up to an eight-week nutrition programme. But as time went on, Sarah wasn't enjoying it anymore. She says, ‘The business got to a point where it had gone from being a joy – creating, inventing, connecting with people – to a business concern. It felt soul-destroying. It felt wrong.' And so in February 2022 she sold off the business and its assets and gave everything to charity. She now donates the money to carefully researched charity projects that target inequality, indigenous issues and the climate crisis.Sarah consumes essentials only, has never owned a handbag and doesn't own a car. Her career has been extraordinary, she became the editor of Cosmopolitan Australia at 29, hosted the most-watched TV series show in the nation's history -the first season of Masterchef Australia – and wrote the international bestseller First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, which Mark Manson described as “the best book on living with anxiety that I've ever read”. Her most recent book This One Wild and Precious Life, is also a prize winner and Sarah has been ranked in the top 200 most influential authors in the world (two years in a row).Thank you very much to Nestlé Carnation for sponsoring this weeks episode.

Sugar, a common ingredient in many foods and beverages, poses negative effects when consumed in excess.  Most Americans and Britons, for instance, consume on average between 60 and 77 grams of processed sugar daily, twice the recommended limit for optimal health.  In fact, a large review of 73 meta-analyses found that heavy consumption of added sugar was associated with 45 negative physical outcomes, including diabetes, gout, obesity, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, cancer, asthma, tooth decay, depression, and early death.  In this episode, we'll explore what happens if you stop consuming sugar for two weeks and how it can benefit your body and mind.  https://todaysfocusofattention.com/what-happens-when-you-quit-sugar-for-two-weeks-the-benefits-of-a-sugar-free-diet/ Listen to the full episode...

I've attempted to quit plenty of things over my lifetime, as we all have. But ever since 2020 I've discovered an entirely new level of discipline. It's like something suddenly clicked in my brain and I was able to conquer many of my addictions, cravings, and urges.  Things I've kicked since 2020, sugar, gluten, coffee, alcohol, pizza, chocolate, my addiction to social media, gossiping, and much much more.  Since noticing this huge shift in my ability to conquer these things, I've began to reverse engineer what has been happening to me, which is a lot, and I've actually formulated a whole process that I'm now coaching people through, but I wanted to share a small piece with you today to assist you in your resolutions for 2023.  My theme this year is to become a New ME in 2023. I started setting my intensions a few weeks ago and created a free workbook for all of you. If you're on my email list then you should have received it, if not then you can sign up via this link: http://eepurl.com/cOWSW5  The goal with this workbook is to clearly identify the person you're hoping to step into, then identify the specific habits you need to develop in order to embody that potential you know you have. So what I'm getting at here, is that quitting anything obviously starts with HABITS and I'm going to teach you what I've found to be the most effective habit forming strategy. And of course, schedule a coaching session with me if you're needing additional help and accountability.

Today, I have a solo episode for you! I am talking about community, specifically why it is important for women to be in a community with one another.  My Facebook group has grown to over 10,000 members and on any given day you can see the magic that happens when women support one another. When you are surrounded by other women in similar situations it opens up space to share our experiences, struggles and wins. Ultimately, when women join together in a community we begin to own our collective power. In this episode I talk about:  The impact women in community have on men The work of victims is to get to a place of feeling strong enough and empowered enough to be able to walk away Our true power lies in our connection to other women Resources & Links:Links and information may also be found at: https://kateanthony.com/podcast/solo-episode-the-power-of-community-grit-and-grace Get on the list to be notified about Grit & Grace!

Lucie found out that she's a Type 1 diabetic when she was 17. That means that the beta cells in her pancreas don't produce insulin. She had to go to the hospital where she was given insulin and told that she was insulin-dependent for the rest of her life. She felt scared and discouraged.Back when Lucie was diagnosed, the test strips to measure her blood sugars (A1C) weren't as sensitive as they are now. Every quarter she would get her A1C checked and pick up a new prescription.When she was diagnosed, nobody really talked to Lucy about diet. However, her parents took her to see a naturopathic doctor who advised her to lower her carbs, but it was difficult for her as a 17-year-old to maintain. The list of foods she received was based on the glycemic index (rather than the glycemic load) of specific foods.She tried all kinds of ways of eating in order to keep her insulin needs stable, but the general message she understood as a Type 1 diabetic was: eat whatever you want, and let the insulin shots cover it. Her health care providers often cited "non-compliance" as a reason for this approach.Listen to how Lucie became her own walking science experiment and switched to foods that nourish her without spiking her blood sugar.

Have you ever considered that risk-taking is a muscle that needs to be regularly exercised? In this conversation with a productivity nerd, coach in Seth Godin's Akimbo community, and an entrepreneur at GoGoDone, Heather Chavin we talk about creating conditions to ship your work. We talk about how so many of us are obligers responding to the external rather than internal stimuli and why we need a powerful community to overcome that. We agree that it is important to mourn projects we say ‘no' to but still, it is the only way to do what matters as trying harder doesn't quite work. We also discuss the importance of listening to our bodies and our brains as they are pretty clear about what is good for us at a given moment.LINKSGoGoDone websiteGoGoPublish website“Willpower Doesn't Work: Discover the Hidden Keys to Success” by Benjamin Hardy“Permission marketing” by Seth Godin“The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too)” by Gretchen Rubin“Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits - to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life” by Gretchen Rubin“The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun” by Gretchen Rubin“Steal like an artist” by Austin Kleon“Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less” by  Greg McKeown

Glucose intolerance led to pre-diabetic blood sugar levels for me and my husband. Quitting sugar brought those levels down to normal for both of us. According to the National institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseses, An estimated 88 million adults ages 18 years or older (34.5 percent of U.S. adults) have prediabetes. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/diabetes-statistics One of the most important books I have ever read on how sugar leads to serious health consequences is: “Sugar Crush” by Dr. Richard P. Jacoby and Raquel Baldelomar. https://amzn.to/3kx0PRM This podcast details the steps we took to get our blood sugar into the normal range.

Jen Isenhart Jennifer is a principal and founder of Wide Eye Productions, a Northwest digital production company that's been creating successful films since 2000. Jennifer has ushered dozens of projects from concept, through production, to completion- from Emmy Award-winning documentaries, to educational children's programs, to branded entertainment. She knows how to weave images, sound and message into memorable films. Most recently, Jennifer directed and wrote "Fat Fiction", a film about the history of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines and the miserable failure of a so-called "low fat heart healthy diet." The film is narrated by 10-Times New York Times best selling author and physician, Mark Hyman and features interviews with world class nutrition experts and science journalists. "Fat Fiction" is available to watch on Amazon Prime where more than 500 five-star reviews rank the film as one of the top nutrition documentaries on the site. As a child, Jen always thought she had an issue with sugar. This was especially true when she would crave sweet foods and then have hypoglycemic events. As an adult, she attended a “Quit Sugar” class where she learnt the effects of sugar on health and wellbeing. Now following a low carb way of eating, her digestion is better, no longer getting tired after meals, which she puts down to eliminating sugar and grains from her diet. As a film producer and journalist, Jen was motivated to learn more about nutrition, dietary guidelines and their impact on poor health outcomes. She found that we didn't get the truth about fats, in particular saturated fats and seed oils due to flawed research, corporate and personal interests. ‘Fat Fiction' documentary sets the record straight and is told in a clear and accessible way, something a film can do rather than another nutrition book. The documentary shows first hand how people respond to both high and low carb diets, particularly for those living with Type 2 Diabetes.

Even when you're not selling things, you want to let them know you sell things. You're a business, after all. Look, if you're watching what some social media influencer does on social media and mimicking them, you may lose. An “influencer” doesn't have the same business model as you. You have products, services, packages. No, you don't want to sell on social media. But you sell the idea that you sell. How Can You Let Them Know You Sell Things? (when you're not selling) Share testimonials regularly. Share stories about clients – it can be about the problem             I was just talking about a Quit Sugar challenge a friend of mine is doing and to introduce the problem to my audience -and help them feel like they are not alone – I told a story about a client I worked with for a long time who was a grandmother. She'd buy bags of candy for dozens of grandchildren for the Christmas stockings and Easter Egg hunt and May Day. And she bought extra. She stashed them in her desk and work and she'd polish off an entire bag of chocolate eggs in a day. Now if you got lost in that example, come back to why I told the story. I did two things by doing that. Yes, I comforted someone addicted to sugar reading it. There's More But with that story I also told my entire email list – again- that I coach private clients. Use the phrase “in my program...” Tell client success stories. In my TEDx talk I told my own story, but then I brought studies and statistics to life sharing about two clients Especially if you've got big gaps between program launches – twice a year, for instance, it's important that you're growing your following and email list so that you have more people to sell to when launch times happen. Send to the Right People If you have programs starting all the time, be sure you have segmented your list. Otherwise you're sending them content that has nothing to do with them, and it's a promotion, and they're wondering too often why they want to have this piece of useless information cluttering up the inbox.

Rosenthal Norman E. Rosenthal is a world-renowned psychiatrist, public speaker, and best-selling author who is known for his innovative research and inspirational writings. Kari interviews him this week about transcendental meditation, mindfulness, SAD, and much more! Pleate note: Always consult your physician. The following interview is not intended to replace the advice of your physician or medical care provider. Rosenthal is currently Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine and is listed as one of the best doctors in America. He is a highly cited researcher who has written over 200 scholarly articles, and authored or co-authored eight popular books. These include Winter Blues, the New York Times bestseller Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation, and the Los Angeles Times bestseller The Gift of Adversity. Rosenthal has conducted numerous clinical trials of medications and alternative treatments, such as transcendental meditation for psychiatric disorders, and the treatment of depression with Botox. He is the TRLS June Book Club author, for his book, Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life Through Transcendental Meditation. Rosenthal has SAD himself and talks about his experiences with the disorder. He talks a bit about the signs/symptoms of SAD versus when you have the “winter blues.” When meditating, you get fluxes of alpha waves, especially in the frontal areas of the brain, that are soothing. Rosenthal talks about brain coherence, which means different parts of the brain experience the same wavelengths at the same time. This is associated with the brain collaborating and being more efficient. He explains the difference between mindfulness and medita Kari talks about the “Jon Kabat-Zinn” way of meditation and Deepak Chopra and Oprah's meditation class. Kari talks about mindfulness stress-based reduction training. Transcendental meditation can help in the following ways: connecting body and mind, building a better brain, being in the zone, having internal growth, asking yourself, “Who do I want to be?”, being engaged with relationships or work, accepting losses, and so on. Rosenthal points out two particular chapters: Meditate and Grow Rich and Meditate and Grow Happy. Kari mentions one story in Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation with Ray Dalio. They discuss sleep and transcendental meditation. He speaks to practicing transcendental meditation and running. During transcendental meditation, according to Rosenthal, the brain delivers you gifts from your subconscious. Rosenthal speaks to how parts of the government/the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are using transcendental meditation. Kari talks about finding her “Cameron Diaz” moment of sorts while recording The Running Lifestyle Camp ad.

Her goal is to run with the Achilles International team at the TCS New York City Marathon in 2017. Erica gives recommendations that she has for runners who are looking to start (after you get to decide what a runner means to you). Hear what being a runner means to Kari. Erica offers tips for getting off the couch and starting ru Kari mentions “The Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, And Rebel: Our Four Tendencies” (Episode 120). Serena Marie, RD Serena Marie, RD, talks about the nutritional benefits of eating potato skins (no, not the appetizer!). The benefit to eating potato skins is the fiber that they contain. They are mostly a source of insoluble fiber. Serena reviews the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber. She also defines what a “standard American diet” looks like. When transitioning from a standard American diet to a more nutrient-rich diet, many people have issues increasing their fiber intake. As you increase vegetables, steam them or chop them up finely to break down the cellulose/fiber to help digest them with less intolerance. Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Kari is grateful for is a new product at Trader Joe's called parsnip chips. They are so good that they might be a trigger food, but thankfully they only have a few ingredients! Serena is grateful for kettlebells. Follow Serena on Periscope @SerenaMarieRD to check them out! Next week, Kari talks all about the post-race runner's' high.

Kari hangs out with go-to, real-food dietitian, Serena Marie, RD, and physical therapist and yoga teacher, Joanne Ambrogi to gab about March's Book Club book Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being. Runner of the Week, Kelly Martin, shares her experience running with her dog, Mya. Want in on a little secret? We've found the modern-day manual of how to live! Are you stuck with your genetic destiny and you think there's nothing you can do about it? Or do you think we “manipulate” our genes through particular lifestyles to change our destiny? On the show today, we share what the March Book Club book means to us. Here are some helpful links: Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being by Deepak Chopra, MD, and Rudolph E. Tanzi PhD Go Wild: Free Your Body and Mind from the Afflictions of Civilization by Dr. John Ratey TRLS Episode 123: “Seven Ways To Take Control Of Your Health” TRLS Episode 53: “John Ratey” Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life through Transcendental Meditation by Norman E. Rosenthal, MD A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last by Stephen Levine Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits--to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life by Gretchen Rubin TRLS Episode 64: “The Power of Habit and the Need To Believe”   Super Talk: March Book Club Want in on a little secret? We've found the modern-day manual of how to live! Are you stuck with your genetic destiny and there's nothing you can do about it? Or can you “manipulate” your genes through particular lifestyles to change your fate? Kari, Serena, and Joanne talk about March's Book Club featured pick, Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being. Serena explains what the terms “radical well-being,” “epigenetics,” and “microbium” mean. The main concept of the book is how genes are not hard wired. In essence, the DNA that we get from our parents sets up the blueprint of how we'll look, what diseases we may get one day, and so on, Years ago, doctors thought that the cards you got dealt were the cards you had, so to speak. But Super Genes defies this notion. Kari notes that the book states that your DNA accounts for only 5 percent of what could happen to you. Joanne points out that some people will say, “Oh, I can't do anything about it, because my [fill in family member] had [fill in disease], so now I'm destined to have it.” She feels that this book brings about an awareness where it's very empowering if you choose to take the book's message. The books gives you ways to take the message and put it into practical life. Kari loves that the book emphasizes choice. Go Wild: Free Your Body and Mind from the Afflictions of Civilization by Dr. John Ratey mentions inflammation, as does Super Genes. We know about diet, and Serena has talked about anti-inflammatory diets, since running causes inflammation in our bodies. (Listen to Episode 123: “Seven Ways To Take Control Of Your Health” and Episode 53: “John Ratey” as examples of this.) Kari thought that the cornerstones in Super Genes were diet, stress, meditation, sleep, and emotions were especially interesting, because they are very similar to Dr. John Ratey's six keys to living a healthier lifestyle. Serena' favorite part of the book that threw her of her feet was how the authors mention that psychosocial dwarfism is real. Joanne piggybacks off of Serena's comments about psychosocial dwarfism in how real it is to keep your stress levels down while pregnant. Joanne points out that you really are the one to determine what the advice will do for you. Having the wherewithal to understand what we don't understand means needing to slowing down. The book talks about one of the activities that you really need to do—meditation/yoga. Kari found the different meditation styles very interesting, because it relates to the June Book Club book, Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life through Transcendental Meditation by Norman E. Rosenthal, MD. Joanne talks about what helps her sleep and what yogendra is. Kari mentions that the book talks about things that are going on that we think help us, but really don't, like multitasking Kari's greatest takeaway is the word “success.” Success is such a powerful word, but “well-being” isn't as much. How about defining success as living your life well? Kari talks about A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last by Stephen Levine. Joanne would want folks to know that it takes courage to look at your life and to truly sit back and act as if this was the last year of your life. How much of your time did you spend sitting down watching TV or on the computer, for example? Kari mentions a woman named Allison who practices ayurvedic medicine who works with Joanne. Joanne wasn't surprised at all that Super Genes talks about it. The book talks about how you think determines what types of exercise you choose, what types of foods you eat, and so on, and to balance that is something that most people don't really think about. Kari mentions the four types of people from Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits--to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life by Gretchen Rubin. Be aware of your life, and what you think is so key. The book is reader-friendly, and it lays out what you can do if you want to live well. Take one thing at a time, and it's very realistic. Serena likes how the book shows how powerful the holistic mindset is. The placebo effect and mindset are powerful. She loved reading the science to why that is true. Joanne thinks that the book gives you practical applications to things, and it meets people at different levels depending on what you're trying to gain by reading the book. Listen to Episode 64: “The Power of Habit and the Need To Believe.” To give feedback or ask questions, connect with Kari on Twitter, Facebook, or via e-mail! Runner of the Week: Kelly Martin Canadian resident Kelly joins Kari, along with her dog, Mia, who is a sheepadoodle, to chat about how it is to run with Mia and why she chose the particular breed. Kari references Episode 127: “How To Run With And Away From Dogs With Veterinarian Ernie Ward.” She tells Kari that working breeds make good running dogs. She started running with Mia when Mia was two years old. Dogs' bones can be fully grown before you can run with them. She runs with Mia six days a week at around a nine-minute mile pace. Pick the right dog. When talking to breeders or a rescue facility, make sure the dog is a high-energy dog. She's been running for about ten years, and her advice is to just keep going. The hardest part is the first kilometer (or mile). Kari mentions that TRLS Action for Healthy Kids teammates Foti and Todd both run with their dogs. Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Joanne is grateful to be able to look outside and see the sun and the breeze. She felt rich gratitude. Serena is grateful for her family in New Jersey. She's grateful that so many of her family and friends live on the Jersey Shore and that she has a true feeling of being wrapped in the most wonderful nostalgia and being on the water. She's so grateful that she can relive beautiful memories of her childhood. Kari is grateful for Super Genes and to be able to talk to Serena and Joanne about it—to be able to look at the information and to ask what they think. Next week, Kari interviews Norman E. Rosenthal, MD, who wrote Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life through Transcendental Meditation.

Kari and friends sit down for the February Book Club book report on Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits—to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life by Gretchen Rubin. Serena Marie, RD, talks about how the four tendencies in Rubin's book help drive the food choices that we make. Also, Serena Marie and Kari do a Side Stitch by Ginny headband product review. Jabra Jiven' Jabra, a TRLS show sponsor, is giving away a pair of Pulse earbuds in March, so sprint over to Jabra.com/TRL and sign up for the TRLS e-mail list at therunninglifestyle.com/join to enter to win. This month's winner will also receive an amazing thirty-­minute exclusive Skype call with Kari. She loves the Pulse model because the sound quality is amazing, there are five different ear settings/fits, and she can do heart rate training as well. Featured Guests: The Book Club Gang Kari, go-to, real-food dietitian Serena Marie, RD, #1 TRLS fan Tracy Slayton (featured on “Seven Disney Race Reviews with a Father–Daughter Duo,” which was Episode 119), and Foti Panagakos (featured on “Chicago Marathon Recap w/Jeff Galloway & Team TRLS,” which was Episode 98 and who represents one of the TRLS Chicago team members who ran and raised funds and awareness for Action for Healthy Kids) all join forces to discuss the February Book Club pick. There are four different tendencies of people, and one of each is represented in today's episode. Take the quiz here. Understand yourself and how you're wired, and in return you can understand others more and you may be more understanding of others. #1: The Upholder (Foti)—someone who doesn't need outside accountability, he or she makes goals, sticks to them, and achieves them Foti read Gretchen's first book (The Happiness Project) and this particular title, and he knew almost right away what he was based on the criteria and the characteristics. He's very self-directed, and he likes to have goals in mind (deadlines, required obligations to finish). He doesn't finish early often, and he enjoys in some respects being under a little pressure (which he's been trying to work on). He believes in rules (they're there for a reason) and likes to follow them; for example, he dislikes when someone turns in a car and doesn't use the turn signal. If we can't obey simple rules, then why do we have them? #2: The Questioner (Kari)—someone who asks “Who are you to tell me this?” This type of person doesn't like to stand in line and can have tendencies toward one of two ways—to an Upholder or to a Rebel personality. Kari was surprised when she took the quiz that she became a Questioner. A Questioner can question authority, research, data, and so on, and many people don't like to be questioned. The downside is analysis paralysis. The way to overcome that is to go to three sources and make an informed decision. #3: The Obliger (Tracy)—someone who is a people pleasure Tracy was a little surprised that she was an Obliger, because she thought she would be an Upholder. This is someone who has a hard time meeting internal expectations, but doesn't struggle at all to meet external expectations. They can break promises to themselves, but have no trouble keeping promises to others. This is the only tendency type who is typically unhappy with what their tendency is. Obligers excel at work because they are reliable and dependable. One downside is not having enough time for themselves and sometimes that causes resentment toward others. It's hard for Obligers to say no to others. They tend to be sensitive to seeking others' approval. There's something called Obliger rebellion where they'll meet expectations over and over and then all of a sudden it's either a small or big act where they just stop meeting expectations and it's usually symbolic #4: The Rebel (Serena)—someone who resists inner and outer expectations No one has control of them including themselves. One negative of this is that Rebels sound mean or rude at times. Rebels can still be nice people, but they decide how they see themselves and that's how they motivate themselves to do things. If someone tells Serena to do something, she literally doesn't want to do it because someone told her to do it, or if she writes a To Do list, she doesn't want to do those things. Serena loves that she is a Rebel. They bring gusto and place a high value on authenticity. When it comes to couples, it's interesting which tendency marries what other tendency. Foti is an Upholder, and his wife Judy is an Obliger. Kari is a Questioner, and her husband Robert is an Upholder. (Kari skews to an Upholder, so it works well). Tracy is an Obliger, and her husband is an Obliger as well. She thought he would be a Questioner or a Rebel. For Rebels, they are oftentimes married to Obligers. Abstainers versus Moderators Abstainers (like Tracy and Foti) are people who prefer to never do something that's tempting to them. If you really like chocolate, you would make a rule to not eat chocolate. Moderators are people who like chocolate so they eat chocolate and not go out of control. Some people can be moderate in their abstaining with certain things. Four key things when it comes to habits and what helps you keep up those good habits: Sleeping (listen to Episode 71: “Sleep Doctor Robert Rosenberg”) Moving Eating and drinking properly Uncluttering Sleep for Foti is driven by his training (since he runs in the morning before work). Kari makes sleep a higher priority and getting off electronics an hour before going to bed and having a snack before bed (15 g carb and fat combo). Tracy is a night person, but she's bound to her husband's sleep schedule because she doesn't want to disturb his sleep. Serena uses an app to switch the light from being a red light to a blue light (which won't stimulate the brain so much); Serena wakes up early and works out in the morning. Kari asks Serena about the recommendations to drink 64 ounces of water a day. Gretchen says it's one of the biggest misnomers out there. Serena recommends looking at your urine color (pale yellow is good). Gretchen also talks about uncluttering. For most people, a cluttered space is a cluttered mind. Tracy knows that she's spreading herself too thin when her house is chaotic and she can't find the things she needs. Foti is all about organizing and keeping things straight. Rewards It could be a slippery slope of eating healthfully for awhile and then rewarding yourself with cake. Another example in the book was crossing a finish line after a marathon, taking two weeks off to rest, and then not running again for three years. At the end of the day, you be you and figure out what works the best for you. An “Mmmm” Moment Habits free us from our decision making. Associate with people who are likely going to improve you. Kari asks each member to speak to one friend or running group that has helped develop them into an even stronger person. Tracy: She runs every week with the Ocala Runners Club, because it's external accountability. Foti: He runs with the local running club periodically, but being part of online running communities (such as the TRLS Facebook group) are most important to him. Serena: As a Rebel, she's been on the South Brooklyn Running Club list serv for over a year, but she can't abide by her schedule, so she loves the TRLS Facebook group and her com group Kari: She loves running outside with friends. Must-Listen Podcasts Podcast Junkies by Harry Duran (listen to Kari's episode here) Introspectology by Joanna (Jo) James-Lynn (listen to Kari's episode here) The 5 AM Miracle Podcast by Jeff Sanders (listen to Kari's episode here) Side Stitch by Ginny Product Review Serena Marie, RD and Kari review Side Stitch by Ginny headbands. These are cloth headbands that have velcro on one side. Serena thinks they are adorable, are easy to wash, and she's totally obsessed with them. She purposely did HIIT training to get sweaty, and the headband stayed on perfectly. She threw it in the washer, and it came out looking brand new, so she really loved the design and comfort. Kari loves that the headband doesn't squeeze her head and doesn't give her a headache. She found them at Philadelphia Runner. There's a special discount to get two headbands for $20 there when you mention TRLS! She also loves the colors. When she puts her headband on, she's ready to work, her hair is out of her face, and she can focus. Serena feels excited to go work out to coordinate her outfit around her headband, and it gets her to the gym. You could match them to your normal, everyday wear. There's going to be a special TRLS edition of this headband with a special pattern and logo! Stay tuned for pictures on the TRLS site. Updates Kari is going to see Dr. Vinny for her back issues and should have an update on next week's episode. Gratitude Jar: Kari wants to come up with a theme song for this segment at the end of each episode and to think about something that they are grateful for. Serena: She is grateful for the warm weather because she's getting more Vitamin D. Kari: She is grateful that it seems like she's getting to the bottom of her back issues with a new PT and Dr. Vinny. March Book Club Don't forget that this month's book club book is Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being by Deepak Chopra, MD, and Dr. Rudi Tanzi. Kari thinks that this book is phenomenal. All the latest research shows that genes make up five percent of your chances of getting something like cancer. It also speaks to the power of habits. Next week, Kari chats with the amazing Kim Stemple to give an update on her next challenge and deep thoughts about the meaning of life and what matters in life. Kim was featured on “Special Mindful Monday w/Kim Stemple, Founder of We Finish Together” from Episode 103. Kari also announces the April Book Club book!

Runners of the Week and featured guests, Tom Kreider and daughter Kristen, give pre- and post-race stories/reviews of their recent Disney races in January 2016. Serena Marie takes off her registered dietitian hat and reviews Sparkle Skirts, alongside dear TRLS friend Tracy Slayton. Kari also chats with Serena and shares her fun weekend meet up experience. Featured Guests and Runners of the Week: Tom and Kristen Kreider Tom Kreider, top individual donor to Kari and Serena's Action for Healthy Kids campaign to run the Chicago and NYC Marathons, joins his daughter Kristen to talk about their recent pre- and post-Disney race experiences. The Lay of the Land In 11 days, they completed seven races (71 miles total) around Disney World, a Disney Cruise Line, and Disneyland—all nonstop—and received a whopping 13 medals! In Disney World, they attended January marathon weekend and ran the Dopey Challenge, which consists of the following: Thursday: 5K Friday: 10K Saturday: Half marathon (~25,000 runners) Sunday: Full marathon Most run to experience the atmosphere of the parks, and Tom says it's a “really nice four-day party.” Tom and Kristen ran the half two years ago, and last year they ran the Dopey Challenge. In the marathon, you run through all four parks that include some special challenges: You can choose to ride the Expedition Everest roller coaster (around Mile 12.5) in the Animal Kingdom. When you run through Epcot and the World Showcase, you can stop at the various kiosks and pick up beverages (around Mile 25). The marathon starts around 5:30 a.m. (with corrals from A–P and waves that start every five minutes). The 16-minute-per-mile maximum pace allows for stops to take pictures with characters or ride Everest. There are water stops about every mile and a half, and at every single water stop there are lines of Porta-Potties. Cruise Experience On Monday morning, they went to Disney Cruise Lines at Cocoa Beach/Port Canaveral for a four-day cruise. On Wednesday, they stopped at Castaway Cay for a 5K race (~800 people registered), which is a special race for those who ran Marathon Weekend. Participants receive a 5K race medal, along with a special challenge medal. Disneyland Friday of that week, they leave the cruise to fly over to Disneyland for the Rebel Challenge. The Star Wars: Light Side—which is a 10K on Saturday and a half marathon on Sunday. Once they complete the challenge, they receive the Coast to Coast medal as well. Part 1: Before the Race Before the race, Kristen was most looking forward to the cruise itself and also the half marathon, because Tom and Kristen ran their first half marathon together. Kristen's biggest concern was transportation due to closed roads while she cheered Tom on. Tom's concern was not getting on the cruise ship in time for a good massage appointment (because that's a MUST after so much racing). Tom talks about dialing back his pace which led him to a better mindset and feeling better physically. Part 2: After the Race Tom and Kristen sum up their experience in a couple words: work and logistics (traveling for 12 days straight) They loved the races, meeting up with people, and the following: The race expos The race start. which is highly organized, great announcers (like Rudy Novotney and Creigh Kelley), there's a DJ/music, they show videos, and so on. For example, at the Star Wars half they had Stormtroopers, and the race announcers were in costume! The water stops were well stocked, along the course they have characters, high school marching bands, and the like. Best magical moment: Kristen and Tom at the end of the Castaway Cay 5K (gentle was their mantra for that race). The pain after running the Dopey Challenge wasn't as bad as after the entire trip for Tom. They traveled with about 80 people who were part of the Mickey Milers that focus on runDisney races. Only about 200 people did all seven races. For the Dopey Challenge, the bus transportation from the resorts started at 3 a.m. They got up around 3:30 a.m. and were on the bus by 4 a.m. They walked about half a mile to the start corrals, and they got to their corral around 5 a.m. The race started at 5:30 a.m., and every corral start time was separated by two to three minutes. They started around 20 minutes The half marathon course ran through the Magic Kingdom and finished in Epcot. The full marathon ran through the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, ESPN Wide World of Sports (around Miles 18 and 20), Hollywood Studios, and Epcot. Jeff Galloway was on the cruise ship and talked to Tom and Kristen about TRLS. runDisney had an official event on the ship where Jeff was presenting. When the Mickey Milers had an awards ceremony (with a special Mickey Milers medal), Jeff put medals on their necks. Top tips/inside scoop from Tom: Running all four races in Orlando is a logistical planning exercise. Getting up at 3 a.m. four mornings in a row and then performing on the race course is tough, and you don't get a lot of time in the parks. Disney challenges will sell out within minutes, so get on the e-mail list. Registration always happens on a Tuesday at noon, so be prepared and log in with your Active.com account all ready to go! Registration is typically nine months before the race. Races are pricey, but they're first class (Dopey was $695; Rebel Challenge was ~$350; Castaway Cay challenge medal was $60; $1,600–1,800 for the cruise room). Tom used a company called Mouse Fan Travel to plan the trip. Top takeaways from Kristen: Supporting a race is almost more annoying than running it, because it was stressful (transportation, logistics with timing). Don't forget your nutrition! Oh, and get the pot roast mac and cheese from The Friar's Nook—it'll change your life! The registration for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend is March 15.   Sparkle Skirts Review Serena Marie, RD, and the #1 fan of TRLS, Tracy Slayton, review Sparkle Skirts! At the Jeff Galloway Race Weekend, Tracy picked out a Sparkle Skirt for Serena. Serena's take: She is obsessed! She isn't an exclusive skirt wearer, but she owns some running skirts, and this brand (and particularly the Sparkle Skirt Swing model) by far knocked it out of the park. The design is adorable with a little flare. The spandex shorts didn't ride up, and they were the perfect length. Tracy: At the JG 13.1 race, she got two of them, and she now owns six Sparkle Skirts. She loves the coverage, a zippered pocket in the waistband, and the thicker waistband. You can wear it either forward or backward (with the pocket in the front or back respectively). Tracy has the Swing model that has a little flounce and a bit more coverage. The Sparkle Skirt Facebook fans are so loyal and excited about the brand. Kari met Leah and Tom, the owners, in Atlanta, and she loves their mentality and the fact that the skirts come in a variety of sizes. The shorts don't ride up, she loves the larger pockets, that it's American made, and that you can put them over capris or running tights in colder weather. Kari has the Slim model in blac Since you have so much space in the pockets, you could bring along some real-food fuel like Serena Marie RD's RaceRice. Ingredients 1 cup cooked rice (prepared with salt) 3 Tablespoons egg white 2 Tablespoons powdered peanut butter (PB2) 1" ginger root minced (optional- will make it VERY gingery tasting)Directions Form 12 small balls (a little larger than quarters). Flatten slightly so they're disc shaped. 2. Spray a pan with coconut oil over medium high heat 3. Cook for about a minute per side. They shouldn't fall apart when flipped. 4. Carry with you in a plastic baggy & pop 3 every 45 minutes! Per 3 race rice cakes (counts as 1 starchy grain) Calories 66 Carbs 13gm Protein 3gm Fat 1gm Kari and Serena Updates and Misc. Kari admires Serena's “guns” (from lifting), and Serena updates Kari on her HIIT workouts. Kari talks about her Harrisburg, PA trip, the Big Kahuna's swim meat, and her meet up with Jeff Paladina at Fleet Feet Sports (thanks to Fred and Shelby Joslyn!). Kari shares all about her injury—her heel was hurting, and her hip and hurt still hurt. She went to a physical therapist, and her whole right leg went numb all of a sudden. There might be an MRI in her future. The feedback that Kari got during her PA trip include the following: the show is positive, optimistic, and Serena is like Kari's younger sister. Jeff Paladina paired Kari up with a walker during the meet up. Question for Serena: What are the benefits of oregano oil? Sneak peek: Kari chats with Dr. Ratey on an upcoming habit: They talk about what's going on with him, that he feels we're at a tipping point to gut health, brain health, to meditation, to being outside, and so on. They also talked about the Shake Yo' Sugar Habit challenge. In an upcoming episode, Kari interviews eight runners from the Harrisburg running club (the River Runners group), and she interviewed the founders of the group, along with an interview with Jeff Paladina. Kari gives an update on her Shake Yo' Sugar Habit challenge experience. In the challenge, Serena has a real-food approach, but she also includes some of the standard American diet nutritional sciences approach to translate into real food. She examines the fruits (melons, berries, citrus fruits) that you can have larger portions of versus fruits like mangoes, apples, and bananas, because those foods are higher in water and fiber content and lower in fructose content. Don't forget to join the TRLS Facebook group! Two days after Luke Puskedra took fourth place in the Olympic Marathon Trials, his seven-month-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer.

Running technique expert, Jae Gruenke of The Balanced Runner™, lists the top two habits of bad running form (Hint: look at your hips and gait), return Runner of the Week, Jackie Thomas, talks about how she found TRLS and how running has changed her life, Mike Clarke, founder of the Big Beach Marathon, previews race course nutrition, and Serena Marie, RD, talks about a popular New Year's Resolution—to cut out diet soda—and gives some no-calorie and low-calorie healthy drink options. Kari also gives shout outs and housekeeping tidbits at the end of the episode. Jae Gruenke Jae Gruenke, owner of The Balanced Runner™, rocks Kari's world by taking a different approach in talking about proper running form. Learn how to run naturally and efficiently. Jae tells listeners what a running form (US term) or running technique (UK term) expert does. She details how she took her Bachelor's degree in literary studies and being a professional dancer in college to become a running technique expert. Listen to why she was offended by running and how she went about solving it. She explores why gait and posture affect our running forms. Learn about the Alexander Technique and the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. Sometimes when runners try to change their forms, that can be the worst thing to do. She shares what makes her cringe as a form expert—including how runners swing their arms (which affects foot strike) and how people try to apply what are considered the rules of posture to running (“posture is for posts”). Jae shares how to position your head when running, how to shift your hips properly (which can lead to IT band issues if done improperly), how to lean from your ankles, and how to tip your pelvis from side to side. Learn why Jae thinks stability shoes are heavy, and they interfere with your ability to use your arch as a spring. Find a way to make running feel natural and safe. Better running form should feel easier. Jae offers free running lessons, so check out her website here. She debunks the “run from heel to toe” theory and details why running tired can actually produce a better form. She tells Kari the three reasons why cross country runners tend to have better form. Check out her Indie Go campaign here.     Runner of the Week: Jackie Thomas “J Thom” (from Episode #72) joins Kari again to talk about how she found TRLS, why she listens, and how running has changed her life. She found TRLS through an iTunes search and wanted something to distract her from her longer runs. She loves TRLS because it's not intimidating and it gives practical tips. Check out her blog post that started it all here. Jackie explains her involvement in the TRLS blog.

There will be water and blue Gatorade (Glacier Freeze) every 1.5–2.0 miles and Gu (one being Chocolate Outrage) at Miles 18 and 23 or 24.
