A common misconception in business is that an entrepreneur must be an expert in a particular field to create a successful business venture.

He says it’s about seizing opportunities and pivoting and changing when the need arises. During this episode, Jeff shares his passion for health and wellness, how his failures have only made him stronger, and how Everbowl will become the next big franchise in the nation.

Minerals are essential for proper body function. Mothers can increase their baby’s IQ score, improved cognitive function, and quality sleep with vivid dreams are all benefits based on the right ratio of minerals in the body. But, how do we know what minerals we may be deficient in and what minerals we may be getting too much of? Hair testing is proven more effective than blood tests in obtaining an overall picture of health by testing the elements present and omitted. To get a better understanding of how minerals improve our quality of life Drew speaks with the Founder of Upgraded Formulas, Barton Scott. Scott is a chemical engineer who created a technology using nanominerals that are absorbed by the cell without the use of digestion. During the conversation, Barton describes the personal circumstances that led him to create nanomineral technology, the manner in which minerals shape our daily lives, and some benefits of taking mineral supplements.

Why is our western culture riddled with joint pain, stiffness, and circulatory issues? Because we don’t move enough. The human body wasn’t designed to sit in a chair or lie on a couch for hours on end.

In this jovial and educational episode Drew’s guest, Aaron Alexander, explains simple ways we can transform our posture and attitude with simple, effective, natural movements that don’t interfere with our craving for technology. Aaron is a manual therapist and movement coach who is responsible for the Align Podcast and the author of the new book, The Align Method. During the podcast, Aaron explains how and why we lose our range of mobility when other cultures don’t, how movement affects our mental and emotional health, and why introspection is necessary and so darn funny.

Many times in our lives we are told don’t quit, hang in there, or stick with it, but is it healthy to continue doing something that makes us miserable? What if making a change could lead us to joy and contentment? To find the answer Drew speaks expert quitter and author of Quitting by Design, Dr. Lynn Marie Morski. Dr. Morski began strategically quitting when she struggled in her career as a multimedia designer so she did a 360 and decided to go back to college to become a doctor of sports medicine.

She is the host of three podcasts and she runs PlantMedicine.org where she dives deep into the medicines not taught about in medical school.

Following a diet based on the current food pyramid created and promoted by the federal government is lethal. Since the guidelines were put into place obesity, diabetes, and chronic illness has been on the rise in America. Even the most prestigious medical journals fail to mention the havoc sugar and carbs can play with the natural processes of the thyroid in the human body. Dr. Ken Berry, a family practitioner, joins Drew to describe the nutritional falsehoods being disseminated by the medical community even after research proves otherwise. He shares his own journey of the lack of nutritional information in his medical school training, his personal first-hand experience with a low or no-carb diet, and revelations from his book, Lies My Doctor Told Me. Dr. Berry also details his transitions and results from prescribing Paleo, Keto, and Carnivore diets to his morbidly obese patients.

He speaks with Drew today about how he ending up meeting the love of his life in Budapest, why he never complains, and how the plant medicines ayahuasca and San Pedro drive his entrepreneurial spirit.

He wrote his new book, Larger Than Life to share his blessings with others. He is a real-life example of what you believe you can do internally you can achieve externally.

In the 1970s 4.2 million Americans were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and today there are 30 million people being treated for the disease. It’s obvious that something in the American diet changed. The amount of sugars being added to foods in addition to a food pyramid designed to sell agricultural products have left much of the nation unhealthy and addicted. To take back control of our health and nutrition we need an approach that satiates us and allows our bodies to heal themselves. Enter the keto diet. While not new and definitely not a fad diet, keto immediately impacts blood sugar levels and reduces the amount of medication necessary to keep insulin levels in check.
Drew welcomes Lauren and Mary of Fearless Keto. A mother-daughter team dedicated to providing support to women and girls who want better health but have difficulty breaking past eating patterns. Lauren struggled with committing to a healthy lifestyle in spite of the direction of her mother, Mary, who is a Certified Dietician. Both women share the story of what motivated them to create a support group and to provide products help people gradually adopt a keto lifestyle.

Most dog food is kibble comprised of a high percentage of corn, wheat, or soybeans. And, while it may satiate your dog until their next meal the ingredients lack the optimum amount of fat and protein dogs need to stay healthy and live a long, happy life. There are other low-carb food options available but how do you know which foods are created to drive profit for manufacturers versus food that is created with the health of your pup in mind? Drew welcomes the CEO and Marketing Director of Visionary Pet, an online raw, nutritious, ketogenic dog food creator to discuss the health benefits of placing your dog on a ketogenic protocol. The company was founded to support the KetoPet Sanctuary, a treatment center for shelter dogs with cancer.

The ketogenic diet has evolved since the 1920s when doctors discovered the benefit of using ketones as a fuel source to control seizures in children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Then before the dawn of social media, the keto diet was passed around like a secret in gyms where weightlifters and athletes worked out.

Drew welcomes the owner and founder of DNX bars, John Rooney. John started DNX Bars to provide a nutritious option for people who are on the go. John spent 20 years running his own business and not paying attention to his wellness. At age 50, when he sold his company, he decided he was going to turn his lifestyle on its head and start being good to himself. John found getting into the ‘Meat Snack’ industry was fairly simple but making real food to nourish people was a bit more challenging. It was a challenge he was willing to accept. When John realized government nutrition labels were a farce, he was determined to get people and food manufacturers involved in DNX’s Declaration of Transparency to educate people of a product's true ingredients, without being deceived by jargon and workarounds.

Even though the extra weight gave Trainer Fallon beautiful curves, the unhealthy eating left her hormone levels a mess. The producers made her wear a sports bra and tight shorts throughout the episode, which she says was uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The relationship between her and her client, JD, started out as fun and adventurous but after overhearing JD complain to the show’s producers about her training style she started to notice other cracks in their working relationship. Fallon says JD would say he couldn’t make the workouts and then would post pictures of burgers and beers. She felt let down since she was only there to help him. This is the first episode of the Fit to Fat to Fit show where the client left before the end of the experiment, will it be the last?

Drew’s guest, The Fat Burning Man – Abel James, shares his Wild Diet, which he describes as somewhere in between the paleo and primal eating plans. Drew and Abel take us behind the scenes of their reality TV shows, where we learn how someone can wear a full-size bacon costume and still look at themselves in the mirror every morning.

Our kids pick up on everything we do. They notice how we treat ourselves, how we treat each other and how we treat them. If you take care of yourself physically and mentally, they are more than likely to mimic you and understand the importance of self-care. If they observe you being a good spouse, they will appreciate how they should be treated when it’s their turn to be a spouse. So, put away your phone, sit down with your children and ask them well thought-out open-ended questions they can answer with spirit.
