Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Dr. Peter Martone to the podcast. Dr. Martone, how are you?
Dr. Martone
(00:01:30)
I'm doing absolutely fantastic, Stu. Thank you so much. Just got off of a really cool snow mountain biking ride. So I'm energized and we're ready to deliver. All amped up, real psyched up right now.
Stu
(00:01:44)
Oh, unbelievable. Look, I can't wait to get into this conversation. Sleep is a big one for so many people and well, first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.
Dr. Martone
(00:01:58)
Yeah, no, thanks. I appreciate that. So one of my missions has always been to help people maximize their life, right? To be able to help them optimize their performance. And I was just sharing with you, I studied my exercise physiology out there in Australia, down in The Gong. And I was a professional trainer, I'm an exercise physiologist, I'm a chiropractor. So I've had all of this education on nutrition and exercise and being able to put it all together and really coming down to the mindset of your health is a product of your daily rituals. And your daily rituals are driven by your beliefs. So if you are not happy with where you are health-wise, whatever it may be, you need to look at how you're thinking and who you're trusting as your resources for your health. And really what we stand for is education on being a different voice and a more empowering message and being able to help people navigate through all of the disinformation that's out there and being able to identify the state of health that they choose. And now we're doing that through sleep.

(01:15)

Hey, guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Ann-Maria and Anoop, also known as the weight loss whisperers to the podcast. Guys, how are you both today?
Ann-Maria
(01:27)

We're doing fantastic. We are in the middle of winter here in Canada. It's cold, but it's good.
Stu
(01:37)

Exactly right.
Ann-Maria
(01:38)

[inaudible 00:01:38] here today.
Stu
(01:40)

Fantastic. Well, I really appreciate you sharing some of your time. First up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.
Ann-Maria
(01:50)

For sure, my name is Ann and this is Anoop and we are husband and wife. We are fitness coaches and we basically teach people how to lose weight while eating whatever they want, that's what we do. The reason why we got here and all that dates back to three, four years before when COVID started, everyone was sick.
(02:16)

We are also registered nurses in the ER. We were working in the emergency room at that point in time. We saw a lot of younger population coming through the emergency doors with variety of health issues, especially when we were in the middle of that COVID season. One of the reasons why we started our coaching back then.
(02:36)

One of the other reasons is also just our journeys, personal journeys, which we'll talk about here in a second, but we literally teach people how to lose weight by [inaudible 00:02:48]
Stu
(02:51)

Well, it can be so confusing because there are a number of different strategies. If you were to jump on the internet right now, you'd see that some people say it's just all about the calories, that's all it is. Whereas other people say, "No, no, it's more about the quality of the food that you eat." Whereas other people say it's about the timing and maybe a mixture of those two as well.
(03:12)

Maybe there's a personal aspect to it where we need to look at our own physiology in terms of our genetics and our digestive system, et cetera things like that. I guess the question then in my eyes is that where do many of us go wrong? What are the glaring mistakes that we make when we want to lose weight?
Ann-Maria
(03:33)

That's a great question. I think the reason why most of us or most of us are not able to lose weight and where we fall apart is the part that we go all in when it comes to the diet part. We cut a lot of food, then we go into this binge-eating and then we do a ton of exercise. There is not enough balance, I would say, in what we are trying to do, and that's where most people fall short.
(04:03)

As much as it is true that we need to be in a caloric deficit for us to lose weight, you have to make sure also that your body is ready for it. I don't know how many of you listening this kno

I'm doing great, thanks. Thanks for having me.
Stu
(01:29)
Oh, look, I'm really keen to delve in and listen to some of your learnings, I guess, for want of a better word this morning, because I know that you've covered a lot in the terms of health and wellness, and human performance at a whole. But, first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.
Risa
(01:52)
Sure. I am a functional nutritionist, which means I've been trained in functional medicine, so I do a lot of testing with extensive blood work and stool testing with everyone I work with in my office. I work from everyone from professional athletes to adults, kids, anybody with health issues. I do a lot of gut, or a lot of gut issues, blood sugar dysregulation, thyroid dysregulation, hormones, random... I'm usually the last stop when they come to see me after they've called the doctors and they still have this nagging cough or whatever it might be, a major health issue.

This week, I'm excited to welcome Chad Price to the podcast. Chad is an athlete, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Kettlebell Kings, the number one supplier and community in the kettlebell space. In this episode, we discuss why you should consider including Kettlebells into your workout, the best way to use them, and the quickest way to get the results you want. Over to Chad.
(01:10)

Hey, guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Chad Price to the podcast. Chad, how are you mate?
Chad

(01:16)

I'm doing great today. Thank you for having me.
Stu
(01:19)
No, look, thank you. Thank you again for sharing some of your time. I know you're super busy. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work or your companies, et cetera, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.
Chad
(01:32)
Sure. My name's Chad Price, currently, the CEO of Life Grows Green and my consulting agency, Price Digital Consultants. My background is in athletics and sports. After I graduated from Rice University, I started a company... I started several companies, but my most notable company is Kettlebell Kings, and that was a 10-year journey that I just culminated at the beginning of 2022.
(01:58)

And then, I wrote a book about that journey and starting your own business called Preparing for Battle and trying to help people get mentally prepared for what the next step is in terms of switching from entrepreneurship. I mean, switching from employee to entrepreneurship or transitioning from college or high school, wherever that is, and going into the entrepreneurship journey, having the correct mindset of doing so.
Stu
(02:21)
Fantastic. Wow, what a journey. It sounds like you're muscled up and ready to attack pretty much anything. So, I'm keen today to touch on the kettlebell side of things because I know that it's not very often that you get to talk to a kettlebell king and you'd be one of them, right? So, and also, cognizant of the hemp and CBD stuff, very, very interesting. But we live in Australia, and so that's a no-no for us, unfortunately at this point in time.
(02:53)

So, I thought we'd dial into your journey with Kettlebell Kings and just kick off for our audience in terms of no doubt, we've all been to the gym and we've seen the rack of kettlebells, but they're next to the dumbbells. They might be next to the resistance bands, which are next to the free weights, which might be next to the assisted machines. Why should we pick up a kettlebell?

(01:20)

Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Cody Watkins to the podcast. Cody, good morning, good afternoon for you. How are you mate?
Cody
(01:30)
I'm doing well. Thanks for having me.
Stu
(01:32)
No, I really appreciate your time. Well, looking at your socials and all of your online activities, I know that you're a very busy man, so we'll get into the questions in a second. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.
Cody
(01:48)
Yeah, so I got into fitness pretty early, 15, 16 years old. I think very typical for any male, you're a little bit softer than you like to be, right? You got to get those abs, get it checked, and I just started, I guess, chasing the dragon, so to speak. So, I just kept pushing the size of limit. I got into powerlifting, got into bodybuilding. I did that obviously along the way. It's really easy to get into training since that's all you're doing. So that's where I kind of fell into that with my love for that, and then got into coaching, competed for 12 years in bodybuilding. Ended up having a few setbacks along the way that I had to learn to overcome, the biggest being open heart surgery. That was kind of a side blast, I didn't see that one coming. And yeah, I had a birth effect that I didn't know about.
(02:31)

I ended up being in stage four heart failure. My heart was like three times the size it should be, and then I got that all patched up. I ended up competing in a bodybuilding show one year later just to see if I could. I wanted to push the limit, but I like to take the reasons or excuses out for when it comes to clients because we'll build hurdles over things that maybe aren't. So, I figured if I could push the envelope, it would help me as a coach overall, because it kind of takes that excuse barrier now when it comes to working with people.
Stu
(02:57)
Oh, my word. So, tell me, when you had that surgery. And I'm guessing with a character like yourself. You live and breathe for working out, feeling good, moving your body. Were you ever told that you've got to take this super, super easy? I wouldn't recommend that you pick up heavy weights or stretch your heart in any way? Was that on the board of the recommendations?
Cody
(03:24)
Absolutely. So, going into it, I didn't know I had it. I had symptoms of heart failure the whole time, but I thought it was just bodybuilding. It was rough, right? I'm pushing through it, grueling along, probably maybe TMI. But man, I was throwing up probably one to two workouts a month, just thought I was lifting hard, but that was my heart not keep
