Today Maria’s guest is award-winning author, innovator, entrepreneur, leadership futurist and transformational catalyst, Nick Jankel. In this week’s show, we talk about one man’s journey from McDonald’s burger maker to student of philosophy, we talk about how everybody is born to transform and we find out why innovators and business leaders have never had so much political responsibility. Bio Thought leader Nick Jankel switches on people all over the planet with the limitless opportunities of the Networked Age...and how to leave behind redundant Industrial-Age thinking, mindsets, and processes that block us from fulfilling our potential as leaders and as organisations. A former elite scientist, Nick has spent close to 30 years developing a rigorous brain-based methodology and complete toolset for personal and organisational transformation - the hardest tasks in the world - that ensure his clients such as Unilever, HSBC, Kelloggs, Zalando, and Nike are match fit for the future. Having initially made his name as an innovation guru behind the global launch of Xbox and the development of the most successful TV show of all time (Dancing with Stars / Strictly Come Dancing), Nick realised that the ability of people to think and act differently are always the keys to long-term success. A purpose-driven entrepreneur since the age of 24, he has dedicated his life to mastering the skills and qualities needed to drive change and thrive in a VUCA world. He believes that transformational leadership - the ability to change what you do and how you do it to stay on top - is your only source of continuous competitive advantage and the only factor in your complete control. Nick Jankel is a renowned thinker on AI and blockchain, generational changes, the Future of Work and global risks who see threats to business-as-usual as invitations up our game as leaders. His original ideas and tools inspire audiences to unlock the power of transformation in their products, processes, and people so that they can avoid shrinking margins, brand irrelevance, and difficulty recruiting the best talent - and can instead turn rapid changes in their external environment into business value, whether through digital transformation or disruptive innovation. Nick is a sought-after and highly-accomplished international keynote speaker who has spoken all over the world to audiences at: LEGO, SAP, Google, Smucker’s, Fujitsu, Roche, Novartis, Diageo, and The Economist Summit amongst many others. A seasoned broadcaster, Nick hosted his own BBC TV Show, has been featured in the FT and The Sunday Times, and has taught at LBS, Oxford, SciencesPo and Yale. He obtained a Triple 1st Class degree – summa cum laude – in Medicine & Philosophy from Cambridge University and is the author of a number of books on creativity, transformation, and leadership. As a cultural commentator, he has been invited to speak at the prestigious Aspen Ideas Festival, TEDx, PBWC SF, and SciFoo at Google Mountain View. Nick does not just illuminate what the future holds – from AI, blockchain and biotech to climate change, co-living, and political instability – but how audience members must change how they think to forge the future they want. Nick provides audiences with take-away tools and experiential exercises to drive agility, adaptability and digital transformation. He customises every talk with relevant examples, stories from the frontlines, and nuggets of science and wisdom to help audiences develop adaptive strategies, business model innovations, purpose-driven organisations and systemic change.

Maria is a health and wellness expert and author of several books. She was always active in sports, even when she was a kid, but was still always on the heavy side. She thought it must’ve just been how her body’s was meant to be. It wasn’t until she studied science and nutrition that she began questioning the “standard” diet that promotes dietary grains and milk. She has since leaned towards a low-carb diet and now a ketogenic diet from which her books were now based on. Today Maria talks about how the ketogenic diet changed her life, her tips for people who want to start with a ketogenic diet, her thoughts on the vilification of fat, and how ice cold water can help boost mitochondrial health.   " People underestimate the power of just being outside.” Maria Emmerich   In this episode, you’ll learn: In a ketogenic diet, always count total carb and not net. She calls the ketogenic diet the happy diet due to how it improves the overall mood of the person. Sugar is inflammatory and complex carbs, what many call “healthy carbs”, become sugar in your blood stream. To lower inflammation, lower sugar intake even those from complex carbs. You can't store protein in your body. Too much will turn into sugar too especially if you're not active. Ketogenic diet will have you losing water weight and electrolytes. When you’re depressed or moody, sometimes you just have low electrolytes. One quick way to remedy that is to drink water with salt but don’t make it too salty. Maria says a when it comes to macros for losing weight, your diet should be around 5% carbs, 20% protein, and 75% fat – healthy saturated fats. This will trigger ketosis. The best cure for adrenal fatigue is 10 hours of sleep. The ketogenic diet will keep your blood sugar levels stable. No spiking, no crashing. No crashing means no sudden hunger. Ketones will get you a natural high which is like sugar but won't crash you. Mitochondria are mostly made up of water cells which you can negatively and positively charge. She advocates “EZ” water therapy which involves drinking ice cold water first thing in the morning.   Key Takeaways: People would be healthier if their practitioners just asked them what they were eating. Pick new goals all the time, don't do everything overnight.   Connect with Maria Emmerich: Maria Mind Body Health Twitter Facebook Instagram Mentioned in this episode: The Fourth Phase of the Water book by Gerald H.

“A binge never happens in a peaceful, loving environment. So, if you can create that environment somehow for yourself that's going to be the way.” – Maria Have you tried everything to quit binge eating and nothing seems to work? Are you still on the fence about whether or not practicing mindfulness will actually help your situation? If the answer is yes then today’s episode may change your life. To say that Maria had it tough growing up would be an understatement. The torment she suffered as a child had such a huge impact that it penetrated every facet of her life, resulting in severe depression and a binge eating disorder. One day after a particularly painful binge, Maria came to a crossroads with herself. She knew it was time to get better or her life would end. A series of serendipitous events soon unfolded and she arrived into the world of practicing mindfulness. It was here that her healing process started to begin. Today Maria speaks openly about her journey. She describes how mindfulness changed her mindset, her relationship with her body, and how it brought joy to her life literally for the first time. She also reveals the exact tools she used that made it possible for her to quit bingeing for good. Maria says that her life now amazing. She credits mindfulness for enabling her to finally find peace and create a loving environment that allows her to thrive, one that she's realized she deserved all along. Maria now takes the lessons she has learned and helps people with their binge eating disorders. She is an incredibly strong woman with an extraordinary story.
