Check out his first appearance on episode 394 of Boundless Body Radio!Stephen Thomas, known online as the UK Carnivore, debunks and dispels many popular myths about nutrition, fitness, and aging. In the past, while eating high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, Stephen was a semi-professional soccer player, won a singles tennis tournament, and had run some middle-distance races, but his health was poor, as he had experienced frequent colds, and struggled with several other health issues.Stephen eventually learned about low-carbohydrate diets, and he decided to try it himself. The switch was a big improvement from eating a high-carbohydrate diet that he had been eating his entire life. Still, on low-carb, results were not as good as he wanted. Stephen continued to lower his dietary carbohydrate intake, and he moved toward being a fitter athlete, and is much healthier on a carnivore diet.On carnivore, his body fat percentage dropped and his muscle mass increased; his pre-diabetes, athlete's foot, and facial and skin rashes are gone; and he has more energy and is stronger than he's ever been.Find Stephen at-https://www.theukcarnivore.com/IG- @theukcarnivoreYT- @Coach Stephen BSc HonsPodcast- The UK Carnivore ExperienceThe Low Carb School- https://www.skool.com/low-carb/aboutAmazon- Guide to Blood Tests: In the Context of a Low-Carb, Ketogenic, or Carnivore Way of EatingFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

Understanding absolute vs. relative risk is crucial in health studies. Fiber is essentially indigestible and not necessary for our diet. There are no essential carbohydrates, unlike fats and proteins. The narrative around fiber is used to justify high carbohydrate intake. Fighting the misconception of fiber is essential for health. Believing in calorie counting can lead to poor health outcomes. Interpretation of health data is often more important than the data itself. Education is key to making informed dietary choices. Challenging mainstream dietary advice can lead to better health. https://www.zoeharcombe.com/

Our movie Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) tells a special story. In 2022, COVID prevented a live performance of Dona Nobis Pacem at the annual BachFest in Leipzig, Germany. So, with creativity and passion, they converted this into a global performance, using this music to link people all over the world. On this night flight over Earth from the International Space Station, bright lines show how we all interconnect as we hear the moving performance of Bach's Dona Nobis Pacem, from B minor Mass.

Astronauts on the International Space Station see 16 sunsets (and sunrises) every day.

Joy of Flight captures the night view of the Gulf of Mexico from the International Space Station set to Bach's Trio Sonata #5 and performed by organist Emily Amos.

In 2023, Amos headed the Youth Council of the American Guild of Organists, and played this lovely floating music. The night view from Gulf of Mexico is equally majestic, sparkling below.

Karl interviewed Stephen Thomas from Asigra. Thomas oversees global revenue and shapes the sales and customer success strategy. He is an accomplished executive With over 25 years of experience in building and guiding sales and customer success teams within the rapidly expanding sectors of Enterprise SaaS. With over 25 years of experience in building and guiding sales and customer success teams within the rapidly expanding sectors of Enterprise SaaS (Cybersecurity and Data Protection), Stephen Thomas is an accomplished executive. Prior to taking on his current role at Asigra, where he oversees global revenue and shapes the sales and customer success strategy, he was the Chief Revenue Officer at RiskOptics (formerly Reciprocity). Stephen's leadership experience extends to companies like Arcserve, Armor, Cyberbit, and Symantec.  A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, he has further honed his skills as a Certified LEANSTACK Coach, CIPP, and CISSP. Asigra is launching a new SaaS management tool in April, but partners can join their beta program now and receive a $2,500 service credit to work with. The product site is https://saasassured.com. Look for the Insider Circle link to join their Beta program. You can join now, so you'll be set for the April 1st launch. Many partners are missing out on revenue by not offering their clients the ability to back up all their SAAS applications (Hubspot, QuickBooks, etc.). Clients know they need to do this. they might even assume you're doing it. And if you're not, someone else might be. That means another vendor is already approved to be paid by them for IT services. That mean's there's another IT consultant in your client's office! Transparency note: Asigra was a sponsor for the 2023 SMB Online Conference. — Our upcoming events: AUSTIN TX – MASTERMIND LIVE (March 28-29th) http://bit.ly/kernanmastermind https://kernanconsulting-mastermind.mykajabi.com/mastermind-event Our Social Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-kernan-varcoach/ https://www.facebook.com/james.kernan https://www.facebook.com/karlpalachuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlpalachuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/amybabinchak/ https://www.facebook.com/amy.babinchak/
