dannypro Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Hi, all I just wanted to recommend a podcast for nutrition and exercise. Stefan and Freedomain radio has certainly changed my life and changed my entire mindset, but I know for myself I tend to live like my body is simply the robot that moves my brain. This guy, Shawn Stevenson, really breaks down nutrition in a holistic, scientific way; and puts it in terms that are easy to understand and highly motivating. Now, I have heard him say a couple things that are loopy/hippy (mentions of divinity, sacredness, etc), but those moments don't take away from his general approach of breaking things down scientifically.I think this podcast really advocates one of Stef's central messages: get yourself together mentally, emotionally, and physically, do it consistently and based on principles, then change the world. I think Shawn Stevenson's breakdown of wellness could play a big part in "being the change you want to see" for the philosophical person.A few good episodes I've listened to so far:Tips for better Sleep: http://theshawnstevensonmodel.com/21-cures-sleep-problem-pt1/ Food and genetics: http://theshawnstevensonmodel.com/how-food-impacts-your-genetics/ Tips for more energy: http://theshawnstevensonmodel.com/tips-more-energy/ Friend's and family's impact on health: http://theshawnstevensonmodel.com/influence-on-your-health/ fyi, this guy has a pretty strong "urban" accent... but don't let that deter you. (hopefully he can reach some of those communities...)Also, I don't know how open either side would be, but it would be cool if Stefan could do an interview with Shawn (or someone else knowledgeable about nutrition/exercise). I think full body wellness is something Stefan definitely finds important, so it would be cool to hear some more shows promoting that topic. I remember Stefan did a really random seeming interview with Elliott Hulse that ended up being completely inspiring. It would be awesome to see Stef hook up with another health/fitness expert again.
Nathan H. Hoffner Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks for your post! Here's a great presentation for anyone interested in the future of mankind. This is other side of the coin.... philosophy being one side. In terms of health, in order to look forward, we must look back first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ixsBn_lfXE "Sally Fallon, the author of Nourishing Traditions Cookbook, gives a presentation that discusses the research work of dentist, Weston Price, in the early part of the last century, there are compelling before and after photoes in this presentation that demonstrate just how our modern diet affects people in first, and then second generation children. She presents an interesting case for how this diet affects our DNA expresses its fullest genetic potential, and gives plenty of slow food for thought about how we may be able to turn this degeneration of our genetic expression around by learning from our elders, so to speak... the traditions of the indigenous people that Weston Price researched...I highly recommend a viewing of the presentation for anyone thinking of having children, or grandchildren."
Guest Mags Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks for posting, I'll definitely go take a look ^^ My main sources: I personally have learned a lot from Mark's Daily Apple Ben Coomber Radio (YouTube | iTunes) answers a lot of questions around fitness/training/health and does heaps of interviews. RSD (...a pickup site) has a recommended book list which has a heading of nutrition (scroll roughly a quarter way down). A good place for people hunting books on the topic.
