Great chat with Laurence, who, it could be argued is afraid of what a cosy and comfortable life looks like. I loved hearing about the early days with the Wellness Guys, (a before its time podcast about wellness - not chiropractic). We follow his life from being a Chiro in Perth, to a Chiro coach in Sydney to 2 years ago again moving and ending up in Portugal. As a chiropractic coach he loves helping you make decisions you didn't even know you needed to make. Thanks Laurence for sharing that heart wrenching story about your father-in-laws life changing accident and how it has shaped your life and decisions from then on. Recorded minutes before a gathering of UK chiropractors in the Putney clinic in London, enjoy...Instagram @chirolondonpod
In our latest "Trainable" episode, join Dr. Damian Kristof and Kate Save for a transformative journey into the heart of healthy living. We delve deep into our lifestyles' evolution to uncover what constitutes a healthy life. This episode goes beyond the usual health talk, challenging the paradox of our health system: why do we engage with it only in sickness? Our guests shed light on the critical aspects of daily living, from the food we eat to the company we keep during meals, even exploring the intriguing world of Blue Zones, where life thrives on activity, community, Dr. Damian Kristof is a distinguished figure in the wellness industry, known for his expertise as a nutritionist, naturopath, chiropractor, and dynamic speaker. With over two decades of rich experience, he stands out for his vast health and wellness knowledge. As one of Australia's pioneering health podcasters, Dr. Kristof co-founded "The Wellness Guys" podcast and co-hosts "100 Not Out," a podcast that delves into the secrets of aging well, focusing on living life with vitality and purpose. He also hosted the TV show "Downsize Me" and remains one of Australia's most respected and influential wellness experts. Joining him is Kate Save, the inspiring Entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of Be Fit Food, a company revolutionizing healthy eating. With over two decades of experience as a Clinical Dietitian, Exercise Physiologist, and Diabetes Educator, Kate has dedicated her career to helping individuals manage weight loss and chronic health issues. Her approach, blending scientific knowledge with practical application, makes healthy eating accessible and enjoyable for everyone. One of Kate's outstanding achievements was launching the first CSIRO Low Carb Diet partnership in Australia in collaboration with Be Fit Food as she continues her vision to change the health of Australians and educate them that ''Food is the First Medicine"'. Central to our conversation is the concept of healthspan versus lifespan. It's about prioritizing a life that's not just longer but healthier, moving away from reactive health systems to rediscover the fundamentals of well-being. We debunk well-being myths, discuss the real cost of nutritious food, and highlight the importance of personal responsibility in proactive health choices. This episode is more than just a talk; it's a guide to living well, introducing simple yet powerful 'Trainables' for longevity. It's an enlightening exploration that challenges the status quo, empowering listeners with knowledge for transformative life changes.
