Cassy Joy: Welcome back to another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. I’m excited today. I just stinking love these episodes! I almost said freaking loving these episodes, and then I stopped myself because I was afraid freaking was a bad word, then I realized it wasn’t. I just had to own that whole little... Bethany: Just own up to it. Cassy Joy: I did. I had to own where my brain went just then. But I just love these episodes. We’re doing another reverse interview today where I have invited Bethany. She is in Jacksonville, Florida, to come on the show today for a reverse interview. For those of you who are new here, this is where a Fed and Fit listener or reader will write in with a great question. And instead of just answering their questions via email, I invite them to come on the show where she and I will have a conversation, record it, and hopefully publish it to the podcast with the hopes that it helps other folks that are out there. Because I really think that some of these questions that I get, there’s definitely more than just one of you out there and I really think this is going to be a great conversation. So the way that it works is that I essentially hand Bethany the baton to lead the show. I’m here to answer whatever her questions are. We’ll have a great discussion. And hopefully it will help lots of folks. Welcome to the show, Bethany! Bethany: Thank you. I really appreciate it. It’s so much fun to be here. Cassy Joy: Yeah, it’s so fun for me, for you to be here. Oh my gosh. My brain; it needs a jump start today. Bethany and I actually got to meet in person not too long ago. I was visiting family in Jacksonville, and we were there for about 4 days. And I got a little twitchy; it’s hard for me to be away from work for that long. And so I thought a fun to do would be to do a quick meet up. So I posted; I think it was just on Snapchat. It was some place… Bethany: Yeah, I think it was Snapchat.

Be the Wellness is an innovative personal coaching company created by Adam and Vanessa Lambert who are based in California. This couple has been living and working in the paleo world for nearly 10 years, helping to educate and empower clients on their personal journeys to optimal health. Welcome to the show, Adam and Vanessa! Vanessa Lambert: Hi, thank you Cassy. It’s so nice to be here! Adam Lambert: Yeah, thanks for having us. Cassy Joy: Of course. It’s a pleasure to have you guys. That was a very brief introduction, and what you guys do is very hard to sum up in just two sentences. So I would love it if you would elaborate a little bit more, and tell folks about the great work you're doing. Vanessa Lambert: Awesome. Yeah, we’d love to. So as you mentioned in the intro, we’ve been in the paleosphere for a long time, starting with Robb Wolf up in Chico at his gym. We kind of stumbled into his gym randomly, and that opened up a whole new world for us. We’ve kind of been riding that wave for almost a decade now of really understanding how to create the best lives for ourselves, and also for our clients. Over the years, we’ve just really realized it’s not just one thing that’s really going to get people there. It’s not just going to be diet. It’s not just going to be exercise. It’s really about an outlook, and how you live your life, and what’s important to you. So we’ve really created Bee the Wellness as a way to kind of encompass all of those things. And really to embrace the fact that there isn’t going to be a one-size fits all solution, but that we’re all going to be juggling all the pieces of our wellness all...

Cassy Joy: Welcome back to another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. I’m so excited to be here with you today. My name is Cassy Joy Garcia. I am the owner, founder, author, nutrition consultant, blog writer behind the brand Fed and Fit. If you're new here, I’m so happy to have you here. Normally; well, not normally. I do a lot of interviews on this podcast, and I also like to sometimes tuck away a little quality time between just you and me. And that’s what you’ve got today. On these shows, I like to either jump into a mindset topic, sometimes a really fun food science topic, and today we’re going to zero in on a healthy lifestyle trick that can really go a long way in helping to make you feel like you're really on top of your game. So we’re going to talk about freezing foods. We’ve got a little mini course called freezing foods 101. It is a question I get all the time, and I’m excited to finally give you a concise single resource to reference. I’m going to talk about a bunch of stuff, and of course as always I will provide links to everything that I talk about so you guys can have a quick reference. And hopefully this will be really helpful for everybody. Ok, so let’s start off with a little background information. Why is freezing foods such an important topic? And why am I giving it its own dedicated podcast episode? It seems a little bananas. So let’s jump into it. When it comes to starting a healthy lifestyle, whether you're just kicking it off or whether you have been at this for a very long time and you're trying to find a way to make life a little bit easier for yourself. There is something we can do. I like to call it knitting ourselves some safety nets; some fallback nets.

You know, there are virtual hugs going all over the place, why can’t we. {laughs} Leanne Vogel: Exactly. Cassy Joy: Oh my goodness. Well I am just so stinking proud of you. I was just telling Leanne before I clicked the record button. I was blown away by your book, Leanne. Truly. When it was delivered in the mail, I think it’s an amazing piece of work. I can only imagine how much you poured into it. It’s obvious that it was a tremendous amount. So congratulations on that monstrous achievement. And you're in the middle of a book tour right now.

Cassy Joy: Welcome back to another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. Today I am very excited to welcome a very special guest. Her name is Kimberly, and she’s actually a member of the Fed and Fit Project online. Kimberly lives in East Texas; specifically Athens, Texas. She is a hobby bee keeper, and loves to garden on her, just a few, 230 acres that she and her husband has there. She loves to spend her time outside when she’s not traveling for work. I’m so excited to have her on the call today. She’s a wonderful person. Welcome to the show, Kim! Kimberly: Thanks. Thanks for having me. I’m looking forward to it. Cassy Joy: Absolutely; likewise. I would love it; I guess I should briefly talk about, for new listeners, what a reverse interview is. So Kimberly wrote in with a really wonderful question via email. Though I really love to answer those, most questions via email, hers was so great that I thought it would be perfect for her and I to have a conversation on Skype, record it, and then possibly publish it to the podcast in case other listeners out there can identify with where Kim is at. And then could possibly benefit from the conversation. So these reverse interviews are where I invite Fed and Fit podcast listeners and readers to come on the show and give them essentially the mic, and the baton to run the show and ask whatever questions she’s got of me. So that’s kind of the background. But thanks so much for coming on, Kim. Do you want to introduce yourself a little bit more? Tell us a little bit more about yourself, and what some of your questions are. Kimberly: Well you summed it up pretty well. Thanks again for having me, first of all. I do live on 230 acres in the middle of nowhere, and I do travel during the week and at home on the weekends. It’s just enjoying the outdoors with my husband, and working to just keep everything running at our...

Cassy Joy: Welcome back to another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. I’m very excited about today’s episode. I’m welcoming one of my nutrition heroes to the show today. His name is Robb Wolf. You’ve probably heard of him. He’s a former research biochemist, a health expert, and author of the New York Times’ bestseller, The Paleo Solution; and, his brand new book, Wired to Eat. He has been a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, and Journal of Evolutionary Health. He serves on the board of directors of Specialty Medical Clinic in Reno, Nevada. And is a consultant for the Naval Special Welfare Resilience program. Wolf is also a former California state powerlifting champion, and holds the rank of blue belt in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu. I hope I said that right. I always mispronounce Ju-Jitsu. Robb Wolf: Yep. Cassy Joy: He lives in Reno, Nevada with his wife Nikki, and daughters Zoe and Sagan. Welcome to the show, Robb! Robb Wolf: Huge honor to be here. I always feel like I should be taller than 5’9” with a bio like that, so thank you. Cassy Joy: {laughs} Oh, well you are larger than life. That’s definitely for sure. Thank you so much for coming on. I think Diane said it best, Diane Sanfilippo, when your book first came out. She said something along the lines of, “I’m so excited, it’s been a long time, I can’t wait to see what else you have to teach us.” And that really is how I look to all of your work. I’ve heard you speak several times, and it’s one of those where I furiously take mental notes. So thank you so much for making time. I would love it if you would just share with folks. The Paleo Solution came out in 2010. And I still have memories. I’ve been following a paleo template since about,

I’ve been looking forward to this particular episode for weeks. Because, I’m joined by one of our Fed and Fit Project members. Her name is Alyssa. She is from Seattle, Washington. And a really fun fact about her; she got married in college. Which is so cool! When you know, you know. Alyssa: You totally know. {laughs} Cassy Joy: {laughs} Love it!

So, Alyssa is, at this point I’m going to go ahead and call you a veteran Project member. {laughs} Alyssa: {laughs} Well thanks. Cassy Joy: Oh, yeah. Thank you. When did you join the project? Alyssa: I officially joined in February. With the February month. Cassy Joy: Ok, got it. With the February group. So she joined in February, and she’s been really submerged in the material, in the community group, and everything. And just been doing such a great job. And we really wanted to bring somebody on so you could hear about the project from her eyes. So I’ve just got some questions for her, but I’m excited to learn from her. And that’s kind of the fun part about the Project, and the community. Everybody has their own takeaways that they pull from stuff. And there’s always something you could learn at every turn and every corner. So, to kick things off, I would love to hear straight from Alyssa; why did you decide to join the Fed and Fit Project? Oh, and I guess should introduce. For new listeners here,

There are companies that I love, I will like their product.

So thank you so much for being a part of the podcast. Clara: Yeah! Cassy Joy: And thank you so much for making time to come onto todays show. But I was wondering if you could just kick things off; set a little background information; tell folks a little bit about yourself and your roll at Aaptiv. Clara: Yeah, totally. So like you said, I lead marketing and communications for the brand, and my entire career background is in marketing PR, digital marketing, social media, that type of thing. I sort of fell backwards into this fitness/wellness community. I actually started out as a blogger in 2011. The remnants of it are still online,

And listeners, of course, weren’t listening when you and I first got on the call where I explained that I have a cold. {laughs} I’m on the tail end of a cold, so if I sound a little funny, it’s not your speakers, it’s me. Daniele Della Valle: {laughs} Cassy Joy: But we should be fine. Daniele is going to do most of the talking {laughs}. But I didn’t want to reschedule because I really; I’m so excited about having you on the show, and talking specifically about some of the things that we’ve got lined up. Because there is such a need. The Fed and Fit podcast audience; all the folks listening here, primarily all ladies. Holla! {laughing} Daniele Della Valle: {laughs} Cassy Joy: I feel like I’ve been starved for human contact, because I’ve been cooped up on a couch in like a pile; just a mountain of tissues for the last coup...

Cassy Joy: Welcome back to another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. I am your host, Cassy Joy Garcia. I am so excited to have you here today. We are going back to a very traditional style podcast. When I first started the Fed and Fit podcast, just about every episode, then we went into every other episode, revolved around some sort of fun nutrition science type topic, where I would dive into what I thought, I don’t know, were really neat topics, whether it was hydration or stress; or goodness, sleep. We’d break it down into kind of a fun 101-type show. You know; stress 101; hydration 101. So what I want to talk about today, while I have a number of fabulous interviews lined up for you guys that we’re going to go over in the next month; today I thought I would do something very seasonal specific and talk about seasonal allergies. So today’s show is about seasonal allergies 101. We’re going to demystify this. Right now, we are just kind of at the very beginning of spring, and this is really where a lot of folks’ seasonal allergies start to feel triggered, and they experience some of the runny nose, and the congestion, and maybe some of the headaches, the itchy eyes or the sore throat; whatever it is. You just feel like you have to survive it. And if you can’t tell in my own voice, I’m kind of recovering from some of that myself. So I thought that was a really good topic maybe to jump into. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power. I’ve said that in a lot of different avenues, and today is no different; this topic is no different. I think let’s understand; let’s dive into maybe some of the science of what happens, why we have allergies; why some folks have some allergies more than others. And then talk about some of the options; things that we can do, whether it is over the counter,

And they are gracious enough to accept my invitation to come on; and we just like to have a nice little conversation. And I choose these folks; or invite these certain folks to come on because if you’re new here, just to give you a little background information on these reverse interviews, because I find that there are many questions that are asked that can lead down a rabbit hole that’s a common question.

So that’s exactly what we’re doing today. I am joined by the lovely Ms. Kim.

Jess Gaertner: He’s precious. Cassy Joy: He does. He’s got a little badger in him. Jess Gaertner: Yes. Cassy Joy: The Great Pyrenees; if anybody listening doesn’t know what we’re talking about; Great Pyrenees are these great big polar bear-looking dogs, and we have a 4-year-old at home. And he’s mostly white; he’s got some blonde spots. And then their other coloration is called badger where they have these big, really cool; almost St. Bernard kind of spots on them. And Ollie’s got a couple of those. He’s so cute.

We’re back with another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. My name is Cassy Joy Garcia; I am your host. I am the owner, and the author, and the founder of http://FedandFit.com; the author of Fed and Fit the book, which is available in stores nationwide. You can find them in Barnes and Noble, and currently in Costco. And I like to give these brief introductions now, because we are having newer and wonderful faces show up here at the podcast who are finding us organically through iTunes. And they’re finding us because current listeners are leaving reviews in iTunes; so thank you so much for doing that, and welcome to all of the new faces; or I guess I should say new ears. {laughs} I’m excited to have you. What we like to talk about is health and wellness from a 50,000 foot view sometimes, but every once in a while we like to zero in, answer some very direct questions. And today’s episode really speaks to that part of the show. I like to do occasionally, sometimes I get on a roll and I do a whole bunch of them {laughs} I like to do what I call listener reverse interviews. And this is where a listener of the Fed and Fit podcast, or a reader of my blog or book, writes in with a question. And I get a lot of questions via emails, and I like to respond to all of them. But every once in a while, I get a really good question, and my response back to these sweet people is; this is a great question; how about I record the answer I give you over Skype. {laughs} And they graciously accept, and so today’s is that. And the reason I want to record the answer over a phone is I think that these questions are some that more people have. There’s more than just the young lady we’re talking with today; her name is Bailey. It’s probably more than Bailey out there that’s wondering some of these things. So I wanted everybody to be able to benefit from this type of conversation. So that’s the point of these reverse interviews; it’s really one of my favorite parts of this podcast, and I hope you’re enjoying them as well. So,
