    Modern Health Optimization: Treating The Cause, Not Just The Symptoms For Optimal Health With Adam Woodlard

    As I have said in the previous episodes, if your health and wellness isn't at the top of the list of things to dial in this year then you are really selling yourself short. I believe that if we want to accomplish our goals, feel our best, and have the energy to do what we love… we must nurture our health and wellbeing first. It's a non- negotiable, because eventually the signs and signals your body is telling you will only get louder and no longer will you be able to ignore it.

He is a biohacking advocate and hormone health expert working with Blokes & Joi to help others reclaim their physical and mental wellness through peptide therapy, personalized supplementation, and holistic lifestyle tools.  Adam's approach to health and wellness goes beyond just treating symptoms; it's about addressing the root causes and fostering holistic well-being.  In todays episode we discuss: Hormone Health: The Importance of Diet and Exercise Factors Affecting Testosterone Levels Lifestyle Changes for Optimal Health The Importance of Comprehensive Blood Work Peptides in Health and Wellness The Role of B Vitamins in Energy and Metabolism and more For full show notes and episode resources head to: https://ericalippy.com/adam-woodlard/ Watch episode on YouTube Find our guest at: Adam Woolard: Website, Instagram Joi And Blokes: Discount Code: ERICAL; Offer: 50% off labs + 20% off all products Follow me on Social Media: Your Host: @ericalippy Podcast: @passionlovepursuit YouTube PASSION LOVE PURSUIT PODCASTS: https://ericalippy.com/the-podcast/

    Forget Motivation: How To ACTUALLY Build A Health And Fitness Routine That Works For Your Lifestyle With Co-Founder Of BODI, Carl Daikeler

    We are still in the first month of the New Year, which I wanted to keep our focus on health and wellness, because I believe this should be one of the cornerstones we put our attention towards. Not just because it's the beginning of a New Year, but because truly when you feel your best it reflects in ALL areas of your life. This episode though is especially for the ones that find it hard to keep a routine, that maybe fitness and nutrition is one area your struggle in maintaining, or simply for that person that is committed to making this year the year you take ownership of your health and wellbeing.  My guest today is Carl Daikler, the co-founder and CEO of BODi, formerly Beachbody, a pioneer in at-home fitness and nutrition for over 25 years. A direct marketing expert turned wellness entrepreneur, Carl created the breakout hit :08 Minute Abs before building one of the industry's most comprehensive libraries of fitness and nutrition content, including over 140 unique programs including P90X and Insanity from world-renowned "Super Trainer" experts.   Under his leadership, BODi evolved from Beachbody, reflecting a shift from appearance-focused goals to holistic health. He spearheaded innovations like Shakeology®, one of the leading superfood supplements, and built one of the earliest social-influencer and affiliate networks to drive growth and community support. In today's episode we discuss: How Microdose fitness can be a game changer for those with time constraints Setting up a routine for success in fitness The role nutrition plays and hacks to help you with the subtle changes that make a big difference Lifestyle changes that are essential for long-term health benefits Making our goals visible to help maintain focus and motivation How to develop consistency Overcoming personal struggles in maintaining a workout routine For full show notes and episode resources head to: https://ericalippy.com/carl-daikeler/ Watch episode on YouTube Guest: Carl Daikeler:  Website Instagram, BODi Instagram Get start with BODi programs Shakeology  supplements Follow me on Social Media: Listen on YouTube Your Host: @ericalippy Podcast: @passionlovepursuit PASSION LOVE PURSUIT PODCASTS: https://ericalippy.com/the-podcast/

    The 4-Step Reset: How To ACTUALLY Change Your Life This Year With Intention

    As we kick off a new season on the show, I felt it was essential I also end the season of the year with an episode that I feel is beneficial to us all. I have shared this previously on the show, but sometimes we need to hear things more than once for it really to land and maybe the season you are in is exactly when you are ready for it. 4 years ago I started doing something that helped me enter the New Year more intentionally. It wasn't about doing another vision board, but yes I like to do those as well, It was a process that helped me end the year off peacefully and enter the new year powerfully. It wasn't about setting some New year's resolution that falls away after the first month. This was about reflecting, releasing, renewing, and creating; and then wrapping it all with a bow and setting my intention. Because this process has been so beneficial to me, I wanted to share it with all of you.  My hope is after this episode today, you will think about how you are leading your life with intention and if you are not, this is your permission to pause, reflect, and honor the season you are in. Maybe what you need is that precious time to be intentional in what matters most to you right now so that the next steps you take will be led with clarity, more focus, and a better sense of purpose and direction. In this episode I discuss: The importance of leading with intention Honoring the seasons Powerful questions to ask yourself Setting intentions for the new year Powerful process to living intentionally  For full show notes and episode resources head to: https://ericalippy.com/the-4-step-reset/ Watch episode on YouTube Episode mentions:   Download 'My Intentional Year' HERE Erica Lippy | Website  Follow me on Social Media: Listen on YouTube Your Host: @ericalippy Podcast: @passionlovepursuit PASSION LOVE PURSUIT PODCASTS: https://ericalippy.com/the-podcast/

    I'm Pregnant At 45: The Exact Protocol I Did That Worked And The Number One Thing That Changed Everything

    Welcome to our new season on the show! For my return listeners you might have noticed the break we took between our last season. I wanted to drop in with a solo episode and talk about why I took a short pause…which the title might say it all. So we are back at it, the show of course continues…we had a little pause in releasing episodes over the last months, as some really big things have been happening and well… I might as well come out and say it. I AM PREGNANT!  It is such a blessing and I am overjoyed to share this news to you. Altho ugh this episode isn't just for that. I wanted this episode to be valuable and actually share how I got here. I mean some might think…well we know how you got here, but actually there is much more to it than that. So I'm going to get personal and share things that I feel can be helpful for anyone either on the journey of fertility and wanting to have a family or anyone that is struggling to conceive. First I must say, I have such compassion for those that have struggled, just through this process I have become utterly grateful and blessed for our journey and I'm aware for many it has been a struggle and emotional rollercoaster.  So my hope is that by what I share today it can provide some hope, confidence and the knowledge of the steps you can take to possibly help your outcome.
