Rewire Your Mind with Ryan Kopyar
Maybe it’s a generational thing, or perhaps it’s just me, but I’ve never been comfortable sharing my private life with others, especially areas that cause me discomfort or pain. In other words, I’ve never been very good at being vulnerable, showing weakness, or asking for help. And I’ll be honest with you, this has not…

Today we have another edition of the Coach’s Corner – so no guest today – it’s just me, and we’ll be back next week with our regular interview format. Here’s what we’re covering in today’s episode.

Read MoreThe Resistance Training Revolution with Sal Di Stefano
Why is weight loss so dang difficult? Or, I guess I should say why is permanent long-term weight loss and weight management so dang difficult? Maybe you can relate to this. You go on a diet and you lose some weight – now you’re feeling good and you’re looking good. But somehow 6 months, maybe…

When you hear the word Parkour, what comes to mind? For me it’s the opening scene of the 2006 James Bond movie Casino Royale with incredible stunts. Or maybe the opening scene from the US version of The Office, where Michael, Dwight and Andy are filming themselves doing hardcore parkour. But what doesn’t jump to…
Read MoreBalance Your Immune System for Optimal Health with Dr. Heather Moday
Just what is an immune system? I mean, if I asked you to point to where your immune system lived in your body, where would you point? We all have an immune system, but unless you’re an immunologist, pinpointing and defining it can be tricky. But in this post Covid world we all live in,…
Read MoreDump Your Head Trash with Renie Cavallari
Why is it that the voice in our head is so often negative? For many of us our predominant inner voice is downright nasty.
