D&D Fitness Radio Podcast

In Episode 025 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, we are excited to speak with bodybuilding sensation Calum Von Moger on training, competing, acting and rehabilitation. Calum was born in Victoria, Australia in 1990 and eventually started bodybuilding at the age of 14 years. By the time he was 21 years old, he was winning championships and, eventually, won a professional Mr. Universe title in 2015 at the World Fitness Federation Universe event. Since then, Calum has made the jump to movies portraying one of his biggest bodybuilding influences, Arnold Scharzenegger, in the biopic, “Bigger,” about the lives of Ben and Joe Weider. In 2017, Calum also starred in the film, 'Generation Iron 2' on Netflix. We also discuss a few physical setbacks experienced by Calum in recent years that have been consuming much of his time as he works to get his body back to full health. Currently residing in Los Angeles, California, Calum is overseeing his clothing, supplement and on-line training businesses, while performing regular physical therapy for his knee and his left biceps. We discuss the level of dedication and discipline required to get his body back to championship form, while also looking forward to other aspirations including his acting career, social media channels and related businesses.For more information on Calum Von Moger, you can follow him via the links below:Website: https://www.calumvonmoger.com/Clothing Website: http://www.vonmoger.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumvonmogerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/calumvonmogerbodybuilderTwitter: https://twitter.com/ calumvonmogerYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ calumvonmogerThe D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.

In Episode 022 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, we discuss the serious topics of opioid addiction and abuse with veteran DEA Special Agent, John Callery. In 2016, there were at least 64,000 deaths attributed to drug overdoses in the United States. This is a 19% increase over 2015 numbers, with the states of Maryland, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maine and Ohio having some of the largest increases in overdose deaths in 2016. Special Agent Callery outlines the details of why the number of fatalities is increasing. The presence of fentanyl in counterfeit prescription opioids and other street drugs has increased significantly in recent years, contributing to the spike in overdoses. Some of these drugs are so toxic and powerful that even relatively small doses – the equivalent of a few grains of salt – can kill unsuspecting victims very quickly. Exposure to these drugs is also extremely dangerous for emergency responders and law enforcement officers who patrol the streets and encounter drug users.The DEA is committed to not only enforcing the laws around these substances, but also educating the public on how to exercise extreme caution when dealing with prescription pain medications. The general public might assume that anything prescribed by their doctor must be safe without understanding the risk of addiction and the potentially dangerous circumstances that accompany such addictions. Special Agent Callery provides a wealth of information to help prevent people from unknowingly stumbling into the deadly path of addiction.For more information on the US Drug Enforcement Administration, visit:https://www.dea.gov/More specific information on the Diversion Control Division can be found at:https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/The D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.
