Although, since the 2020 pandemic, she's temporarily located her family to a secret river location, deep in the forests of the Netherlands! Our interview with Daan: You are here to talk about your paleo expedition, but tell us first, what is your life like when not on expedition? How do you view natural movement and its place in your life as a movement educator, in your own life, as a parent? What are your sincere feelings about people’s interest and infatuation with the paleo diet in recent years? Tell us about the year you took to prepare for the expedition? What did you have to learn? How was the learning itself? Let’s dive in, and learn about the expedition itself: the mission, the day to day life, gathering and hunting, rest and energy, the collective space, movement….I would love to be a fly on the wall as you tell the story. I was really touched by you talking about the keeper of the fire. I will read a little passage you wrote about it here. Can you talk about your relationship to fire and water before and after the expedition? Tell me about your sense of our human activity effect on the environment - how did the expedition influence your view of our modern world? What was it like coming back and starting “life as usual” What was the effect of the expedition on your mental health, what did you learn, grow into or start to practice that you didn’t before? Topics include: Living on a historic ship in downtown Amsterdam Relocating to get away from the unknowns of the quarantine Preparing herself to live like paleo man Living as our ancient ancestors Oh no, a paleo period? Using spagnum moss instead of modern feminine hygiene products Foraging, hunting, and having healthy stools No clocks, coffee, wifi, phones, or modern addictions Twelve days in the woods without shoes Positive separation -  Time away from it all to take care of one's self   Who is Daan Timmers?

Tell us a bit about how you went from working a normal day job that most people dream of, to living the movement rich life you live now? What was your initial motivation to start studying movement and how has it changed over time?

Are you able to feel the difference in circadian rhythms or quality of movement, digestion, stress, or any other measurable aspect of life?

How has it been for you and your partner? You work with people who are working on improving their quality of movement daily. What are some modern challenges you see everyone share and what would be a few steps you think everyone can take to remedy them? Both you and us are so passionate about healthy eating!

We've been fans of Amy Kubal's humor and common sense nutrition for years, so when she said yes to joining us, we were (and still are) thrilled!   Show Notes - Nutrition Myths & Realities with Trend Free RD Amy Kubal For full podcast notes and links for this episode click here or the picture and link below: Show Notes at EatMoveLive52.com/Amy Want to work with Amy, Galina, and Roland? That's right, we got so excited about our conversations that the three of us are going to kick off 2020 by working together. We've got a trend free, real food, and totally fun new project that we know you'll love, and we'll be announcing the detail in the new few days. If you want to kick off the new year, make huge progress, and lasting change, then sign up right here to be notified and be the first to know! Yes, I want to be the first to know! Roland, Galina, and Amy Now, onto the show... Show Notes - Trend Free Nutrition with Amy Kubal, RD Amy Kubal MS, RDN  is a Registered Dietitian who is well-versed in working with Paleo, autoimmune, ketogenic, digestive and kidney health, performance, eating disorder, and figure/bodybuilding diet/nutrition plans. She has served as a consultant dietitian for Robb Wolf, The Paleo Mom, Training Bible Coaching, and several Crossfit gyms. Amy also works independently with a wide range of diets, health conditions, athlete types, and ages. Topics Discussed Galina asked me how we met, and it’s been so long that I don’t remember. I had a really long commute in the olden days and suddenly, I used to listen to every paleo, real food, and low carb podcast I could find. It might have been through Robb Wolf’s podcast. Were you working with Robb Wolf at the beginning? When we started working with nutrition clients we were pretty focused on a paleo-style diet, which is how I learned about you. How has your relationship with the paleo diet changed over time? I’ve always seen you as a voice-of-reason when it comes to nutrition. Even on the Robb Wolf show you weren’t particularly dogmatic on paleo. Do you have core principles that you think are important for a good healthy diet? What about for weight loss? Is it okay if we talk about keto? When is keto the right diet? The Atkins diet got a lot of pushback from the paleo community so why is keto getting a pass? Carnivore? We have a friend doing it keto style because she had a hard time controlling her blood sugar on other diets (even keto with a few veggies here and there). What’s going on here? Is the carnivore diet good for certain people? Every year paleo-style diets get slammed as unhealthy by lists like the US News and World Reports diet rankings. Meanwhile, low-fat, low salt, and plant-based diets with less evidence of effectiveness and wholesomeness do better. What’s going on there? What’s your take on vegan diets for health? Can a vegan thrive? What are some signs that a vegan diet is not serving you well? You recently posted about problems that certain people have on a higher protein diet? Why and when can a high protein diet be a problem? They’ll take my cheese when they scrape it from my warm, greasy fingers. Let’s talk about that cheese article - https://www.facebook.com/wirlwindamy/posts/10158904451086040 how does the public (or a health coach) make decisions about what to eat or not to eat when there’s so much nonsense floating around? Coffee good, coffee bad. Red meat bad, red meat not bad enough to say it’s bad? Doctors and personal trainers are still telling people to eat egg whites. How does one stay informed? Tell us about your style when you work with clients? What type of clients are your specialty and what do you do that’s different? How can people find you and work with you?

We recently had physical therapist Susan McLaughlin on the EatMoveLive52 Podcast to bust some myths and help us to better understand the role of the autonomic nervous system in chronic pain, tension, and discomfort.  Show Notes - Busting Myths in Physical Therapy with Susan McLaughlin For full podcast notes, links, and your free handout for this episode click here or the link below: Show Notes at EatMoveLive52.com/Susan Show Notes at EatMoveLive52.com/Susan Susan McLaughlin Susan McLaughlin is a physical therapist specializing in men’s and women’s pelvic health. Her private practice is in Salt Lak City, Utah, but she also has a wealth of information online, where some of you may have already met her. “I have been practicing physical therapy since 2001. In 2012I transitioned away from the major medical healthcare system to a holistic and eclectic collection of skills, all of which fit under the title of my business name: ALIGN Integration | Movement. As a practitioner I meet each client with the empathy and compassion that I, too, have sat deeply imbedded in the suffering of pain, and have been able to transform my body, mind, and spirit to get out of it.” Topics Discussed Could you tell us about your inspiration and inner guidance to practice Physical Therapy the way you do? What have you added to your eclectic practice that you never thought you would use as a therapist? Have you seen a change in the kind of complaints and conditions people come to you with over the years? For example, do you see more chronic pain? What’s the role of the nervous system and trauma in your practice? How do you educate patients and what resources do you give them if they are in chronic pain? Why do you think the medical profession has not been able to support those patients well so far? How do you help patients start to feel and deem themselves as a whole and not broken? What in your own journey with pain was key for your own healing and recovery? Let’s address some common myths in physical therapy and movement; let’s start with sucking in or bracing your abs, not locking your knees, keeping a flat back when standing or exercising, or needing to wear a small heel on your shoe? If someone has been in pain for a long time and watching all of those “precautions” for movement, what could be some undesired side effects? If you could design an ideal movement and therapy program for someone in pain, what would it absolutely include? What is something that you would never include? Where can people find more about you or work with you?

  Show Notes and Podcast Listener Links For all show notes, links, and downloads, click here or the image below. Mickey Treskott - Author and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Mickey is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and author of three best-selling books, The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook, The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook and The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen. She is also co-host The Autoimmune Wellness Podcast and co-teach The AIP Certified Coach Practitioner Training Program with Angie Alt. Her journey to the Autoimmune Protocol started as a vegan, having been diagnosed with both celiac and Hashimoto’s disease. Instead of feeling better after my diagnosis, she continued to suffer many months of deteriorating health until she made the transition to the Autoimmune Protocol, slowly reversing vitamin and mineral deficiencies and greatly improving my health. Today, she lives with her husband, Noah on their homestead in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, with their cat Savannah and horse Bear. When she’s not getting crazy in the kitchen or researching how to live better with autoimmune disease, she can be found riding horses on my family’s farm, obsessively knitting a pair of socks, or figuring out how to build a non-toxic, sustainable home.   Topics Discussed Where is the autoimmune paleo community today compared to 7 years ago when your first book was published? What was one defining moment for you and your mindset when you went from feeling ill and worsening to turning things around and starting to feel better? Was there a spiritually or emotionally significant shift? What do you have to say about listening to your body? When someone is symptomatic and feels like their body is betraying them or falling apart, what’s one piece of advice you have for them to help them start seeing the body not as an enemy but as an ally? What research do we have today that we didn’t have in the early days of AIP? Could you talk about the IBD, Hashimotos and Psoriasis studies that you are a part of? What aspects of the recent Hashimoto’s study would you like to discuss or you find very clinically significant? When reintroducing what are some common symptoms that people should look for? What are some foods you are enjoying today that you didn’t think you would ever eat again? What are your personal strategies for getting variety in your diet? Let’s talk coffee - what do you see as a practitioner? Does it matter how high quality it is or is coffee just coffee? If we look at movement as a nutrient what do you think the role of movement rich lifestyle is in healing from autoimmune illness? How do you define healing from autoimmune illness? Is there a “free” or “remission” point? Can we talk sweeteners - one thing people miss so much is the sweet taste - how do you help people with having their sweets and not feeling deprived or socially isolated from family and friends? Honey, maple syrup, etc, vs industrial sweeteners? Chronic illness is truly a test of character and it will test us down to our very soul - what do you feel got you through the most difficult times? Tell us about becoming a nutrivore - what do you have to say to people who are just embarking on that journey? Tell us about a day in your life - what’s it like in your kitchen, and in your life as a whole? What’s on your menu as far as eating, moving and living? Tell us about your latest book - and it’s so sweet that it opens with a picture of your grandma? How do you feel that connection has influenced your work and path? A question from an RD friend: Do people with Autoimmune conditions have a more difficult time losing weight and burning fat? If so, how can you remedy the obstacle? What is of top priority - calming the immune system or losing weight? A question from a long time AIP follower who literally called you her goddess :) Do you ever limit carbs, I have been gaining weight on AIP? Should I treat honey like a regular sugar - I put it in my tea and smoothies?

How do you motivate clients at different levels of skill to get outdoors? What activities do you introduce to people who are in a city and can’t get out in the wild?

Coach & Author Josh Hillis helps people overcome emotional eating and finally lose weight.   About Josh Hillis Shownotes for The Art & Science of Emotional Eating Episode Josh Hillis is a nutrition coach who specializes in habits-based, positive changes. Lose Stubborn Fat, his popular fat-loss blog, has tens of thousands of readers, and his fat-loss and kettlebell-training books have helped people reach their personal goals for more than 10 years. Josh helps people overcome emotional eating and finally lose weight. Using a skill-based (not diet based) approach allows people to create a new relationship with their bodies and with food, and get results that have previously never been possible. Josh is the author of Fat Loss Happens on Monday (2013) and the upcoming Lean and Strong (2019) and a yet-untitled emotional eating book (2020), for OnTarget Publications. Josh has been writing his blog, losestubbornfat.com, since 2004, he’s written Strength Matters Magazine, and he’s been quoted or featured in Experience Life! Magazine, The Denver Post, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. He currently attends MSU Denver, where he is doing his thesis on contextual behavioral science and emotional eating. Topics Discussed Habit & Skill-Based Weight Loss Josh, please tell us how you developed your habit-based and skill-based approach to weight loss? Was it a personal or professional evolution or both? Tell us a bit about the diet and nutrition environment of your childhood and how you grew up. Blind spots In your experience when people set off on a weight loss journey, what are some of the factors they don’t take into account or have a blind spot about? What do you see are the main obstacles to sustained and sustainable weight loss? How do you talk to your clients about motivation?  People in recovery have often been so conditioned by objectification that most of their motivation comes from a place of self-rejection, trying to fix themselves, hoping they will get to a place where they look at themselves and start to deserve self-acceptance and self-love, while in the process their own motivation is flawed and leads to a dead end. Shifting this is an intricate process. How do you do that? Environment What, in your experience, is the environment (intrinsic and extrinsic, personal and cultural) in which emotional eating starts to occur? What are the influences? And of course, what do you find is the way through? Health at every size How can we model a health-at-every-size-like attitude to our children and young people who are easily influenced by media? What metrics, other than weight, tangible and intangible, do you track with your clients? Milestones How do you celebrate milestones? How do you meet obstacles? The future of emotional eating Tell us about your research in emotional eating? What are some surprises that you stumbled upon? What inspires you now for the thesis you are working on? Where can people find more about you?

Along with Somatic Experiencing, she ncorporates aspects of other therapeutic modalities, including humanistic, behavioral and psychodynamic approaches. Andrea is also an ecotherapist, which means that she supports healing the relationship between nature and humans. She helps people access and experience their love for nature, and how nature supports self-regulation (and feeling good!). She also support people in moving through the grief and pain of eco-anxiety, including engaging in giving back to nature. Andrea serves as an Assistant for the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute, where she organizes and helps teach SE to clinicians at SE trainings in Los Angeles, Orange County, and internationally. Topics with Andrea Bell You are an MFT  (Marriage and Family Therapist) and SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner), how did you become interested in eco-therapy? Are there any defining experiences, say from your childhood that you think prepared you for this path? Can you share with our listeners what ecotherapy and ecopsychology are? Who practices them and where are their roots? Does eco-therapy involve just being in nature or gardening or conservation? What are the benefits of being in nature? Short term and long term? Both physical and psycho-emotional? Can you speak a bit about eco-anxiety? Why do people often choose to do nothing to help the environment? When we do our part to clean up the environment, how does that help us feel better and impact our health? What does a typical eco-therapy experience look like and feel like? What have you noticed in yourself and others as a result of the practice? If you live in a city, what is the best thing to do to support your health? Will a park do? Or do you have to drive farther so you can be away from noise and pollution? To enjoy the benefits of eco-therapy do you have to be alone, or can you be in a larger group? Do we gain or lose something by being alone or in a group? What activities can people do for the Earth that have the biggest impact on their wellbeing? Roland shares that daily recycling really blends in, while the city clean-up makes him feel great. If people want to know more about you and what you do, where can they find you and what resources do you recommend for the eco-curious?   Andrea Bell, Ecotherapy, and Somaticwise Links and Resources   Find out more about Andrea.

Lois Laynee joins the EatMoveLive52 Podcast tell you how Restorative Breathing can help you think more clearly, and live a better, healthier life "You should never have to think to breathe. Breathing should give you the ability to think" - Lois Laynee   We all breathe ...all day long, day in and day out, and Lois Laynee's goal is to help you get the most out of your life, through optimal breathing. It's not a method of breathing, but a way of neuro sequencing your brain so that you automatically breathe efficiently, easily, and effortlessly. "If you're breathing with your mouth open, your body is working one hundred times harder for every molecule of oxygen than it needs to." - Lois Laynee Ready to learn more? Let's get started...   About Lois Laynee and Restorative Breathing Lois Laynee is a dynamic pioneer and passionate lecturer in the fields of Education, Sleep, Scar Release Healing, Cranio Facial Neurodevelopment, and much more. In addition to heading the Laynee Restorative Breathing Method™, Lois is also the CEO of AZ Sleep Apnea Center PLLC; a speaker and educator of oxygen wellness and the creator of the Laynee Restorative Breathing Method™. By combining her decades of clinical experience, with the Laynee Restorative Breathing Method™, she offers support for clients at all stages of life.

Topics and Questions for Lois 1. How did you become interested in the field of breathing? Where did the idea for Restoring Breathing come from – and why did you call it Restoring? 2. You teach from a multidisciplinary approach. Which common fields would you say meet in the science and practice of what you teach? 3. It seems like understanding breathing should be foundational, yet the medical field seems to not necessarily have a track for addressing it outside of the clearly defined ENT and pulmonology fields. And unless they find pathology – you are told you are ok. Why do you think that is? 4. In the world of health and wellness, breathing is usually addressed from the perspective of “calming down” or “regulating” yourself? What is being missed here? What else should people know? 5. What should everyone know about functional breathing and breathing competencies? 6. If someone was to look for symptoms of breathing challenges – what would we look for? 7. What is your advice for people who snore? Both children and adults? 8. What’s the role of early development in breathing? 9. How is breathing related to mental health, anxiety, eating disorders, etc? Do you see a correlation in your clinic? 10. If someone was to shift just one component of their breathing – say nasal breathing or silent breathing – where should they start? 11. You are available for consults online and also in workshops and seminars, and online events. What’s the best way for people to connect with you and what can they expect?

Our friends Dr. Mike T Nelson and Jodie Fabulous Nelson are a perfect example of 'opposites attract.' And their own Mr. Mole is an example of a perfect way to teach your kids about that thing that they never want to do... SLEEP! “Mr. Mole is a scientist who reads research for fun . . .” This is a line from the original children’s book authored by Dr. Mike Nelson, Jodie Nelson, and illustrated by the children and child-like people in their family.   “CUZ I DUG UP THE RESEARCH ALREADY.” - Mr. Mole Let's get started... About Dr. Mike T. Nelson and Jodie Fabulous Nelson Dr. Mike T Nelson and Jodie Fabulous Nelson are a perfect example of opposites attract. Dr. Mike T. Nelson, PhD, MSME, CSCS, CISSN, is a research fanatic who specializes in metabolic flexibility and heart rate variability, as well as an online trainer, adjunct professor, faculty member at the Carrick Institute, presenter, creator of the Flex Diet Cert, kiteboarder, and (somewhat incongruously) heavy-metal enthusiast. The techniques he's developed, and the results Mike gets for his clients have been featured in international magazines, in scientific publications, and on websites across the globe. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife, lifting odd objects, reading research, and kiteboarding as much as possible. Jodie Nelson has a bachelors degree in both Secondary English Education and Communication. And since she loves words so much, she went back to school to get a masters in communication. A published author, lover of dance and theater, Jodie experiences everything as a Broadway musical. The Mr. Mole Book project was a culmination of combined Mike and Jodie superpowers --- brash unfiltered creativity marries sciencey research.   Mr. Mole Goes to Sleep Who is Mr. Mole? Mr. Mole is a character is based on Dr. Mike’s love for the acquisition and practical application of science to fitness and life. The Mr. Mole character actually is Dr. Mike because he also reads medical research for fun! Each article Mr. Mole reads leads him into a research rabbit hole. He happily shares his geeky findings with friends like you, which is why you'll see Mr. Mole sprinkled throughout Dr. Mike's website. Seeing Mr. Mole means there’s more in-depth discussion to be had about that particular topic or that there are more sciencey references attached. From co-author Jodie Fabulous Nelson Mr. Mole started as a funny saying between Mike and me. He liked to turn off all the lights as it got closer to bedtime. Me? I can’t see very well in the dark. So, I always turn lights on in each room as the sun starts to go down. I one night, as Mike left his desk from a long session of research rabbit-holing, he came around the corner squinting into my brightly lit room. I said, “Hey there, Mr. Mole. How’s it going?” That little exchange started a funny conversation every time I would find him huddled in the dark researching at his desk as I came in to switch the lights on. After one of these nights, one of us brought up the idea to write a children’s’ book about Mr. Mole going to bed. And then the idea got bigger. “What if we write a children’s’ book about healthy sleep habits that adults will read to their children?” The action steps would be simple enough for a child, yet probably things that many adults haven’t incorporated into their sleep and bedtime ritual. This is how Mr. Mole was born and he’s evolved so much since then. It’s going to be a wonderful book for everyone. We can’t wait to share it with you! Want Mr. Mole in YOUR Home?

You might already be taking care of your nutrition and food, but isn't it time to look at your 'movement nutrition,' as well?----more---- We all love to move. It’s innate, intrinsic to life. Just watch kids at play. How many of us, as adults, move with as much joy, curiosity, and as engaged with life as we did as kids? Modern movement science is reshaping our understanding of the primacy of movement for a happy and healthy human existence. It’s changing the way we think about fitness, exercise, and overall wellness. Our modern world, with all its conveniences, is significantly lacking in movement. Sitting, driving, phones, computers - They all take their toll. Neck pain, back pain, foot pain, joint pain, repetitive strain, and more. You might already be taking care of your nutrition and food, but isn't it time to look at your 'movement nutrition,' as well? Our overall daily activity is just as important as our balanced diet- we want a variety of the good stuff, whether it's food or movement.----more---- Be sure to checkout Eat Move Live 365 and join at our special Founding Member rates, plus all the bonuses.  Go to EatMoveLive52.com/365 now!

  Our friend, author, health writer, and personal trainer Aleisha Fetters joins us to talk about self-care, how it started, how its perception has changed over time, and why it matters!   “Self-care, learning how to identify your own needs and then address them, is complicated. And, for each person, it looks different. For me, self-care is about recognizing the behaviors, thoughts, and habits that signal my depression and/or anxiety are rising--or that I'm not using the tools in my toolboxes to address them, and instead am falling into unhealthy and counterproductive coping habits. It is about recognizing what steps are important for me in times like that, and prioritizing myself. It's about valuing my own health and wellbeing as I would anyone else's. “ - K.

Aleisha Fetters Self-Care History You’ve been a writer for quite a while now. When did you first start hearing about self-care in the media? What do you feel was the social climate at the time? Why do you think the wellness field was so dominated by nutrition and exercise and how we look and just recently catching up with our mental and emotional health? Did more of us start reaching a burn out point? Where to start? If someone is brand new to the idea of self-care, what do you feel is a good place to start? What ideas and steps were foundational for you? Learning how to recognize and honor your needs, and building healthy boundaries seems to be hard for many of us. How have you navigated through these challenges yourself? How do you help your clients and readers navigate these challenges? Self-Care in the Media Without oversimplifying the social, political, economic and personal aspects of self-care, where do you feel that the media has done a great job of encouraging self-care? Where have they missed the mark? How are the self-care market and industry a part of the dark side of this? Knowing when to start, and avoiding the traps What are some of the common symptoms and signs that you see in yourself and clients that point to the need for self-care? How can we avoid the trap of self-care becoming one more thing we need to check off our endless lists? What about body positivity? One of our listeners asked how one can be more body-positive or body-kind. She shared she is terrified of going to the beach with people she doesn’t know well, for fear of being judged and rejected. How does one accept their body when the media is constantly pouring out messages that we need to be thin or look a certain way. How can we start to accept our bodies the way we are? I (Galina) personally practice very careful media hygiene – I have curated my social media feeds and the media I consume carefully to include body-positive role models and exclude images that make me spin down a cycle of self-rejection and self-objectification. What advice do you have for her? How has self-care progressed and changed? Self-care may have started as a medical necessity, moved through the stage of civil rights and female rights movement, but now it seems like it’s addressing more than just specific groups – it matters to everyone. Where do you see self-care as a way to connect to our communities and the world? Thank you, Aleisha, for joining us on EatMoveLive52 Podcast! K. Aleisha Fetters and all the links!
