What is the Fit2Fat2Fit experiment? How much of our health journeys are physical struggles versus emotional struggles? How does one break the habit of eating hyper-palatable foods? What is the difference between self-awareness and will power? What is the keto diet? How can ketones help us?
Today we sit down with author and viral self-experimenter of Fit2Fat2Fit, Drew Manning, to talk about the emotional relationships with food and how to cultivate self-awareness for a body-positive health journey. Drew also discusses how he uses ketosis, ketones, and the Keto Diet as a powerful tool for weight loss.
Drew Manning, personal trainer, was having a hard time relating to his clients when it came to weight loss and sticking to a diet and workout plan. He decided to gain as much weight as he could in 6 months to put himself in the mindset and lifestyle as his clients and then lose it again in 6 months to better understand how hard it is for people who have not always been strict with their health and wellness. He ended up gaining 72.2 pounds in 6 months, and he worked hard to lose it all again in 6 months.

What are some tricks to keeping the family healthy? Good house cleaning products? What is colloidal silver? What is Egyptian Magic?
Let’s talk life hacks from one parent to another when it comes to teaching kids what healthy really means. We are combating horrible foods, toxic household products, water, air quality, makeup, sedentary lifestyles in schools, not enough nature, exercise- this is so overwhelming for a parent to hear. On top of that, we now have this new dynamic in the household where kids are home- the parents have far more time with them than previously and it can be stressful, but also a good opportunity to take alternative routes when it comes to parenting.
We sat down with Earthy Junky creator, Samantha Elkin, to talk about some tips to keeping the family active, clean and healthy.

What is Lymph? What is a lymphatic massage and how is it different from a traditional massage? What are some good exercises for our lymphatic system?
Ever heard of a massage that detoxifies your body simultaneously? That’s right, there’s a technique that exists that you not only get to relax and enjoy- but is also promoting detoxification of the lymphatic system at the same time. Lymphatic massage and “lymphatic contouring” has gone mainstream over the last few years, so we decided to sit down with expert, Lisa Gainsley, to see what it’s all about.
“The lymph vessels that surround your gut make up 70% of your immune system. Your bloodstream gets pumped by the heart, but your lymphatic system is actually the circulatory system of the immune system.”

What is breathwork? How can Breathwork be used? What are some therapeutic practices that you can introduce?
Your breath has one of the most significant impacts on your life. It can keep you calm, give you anxiety; it can impact or be impacted by other physiological systems such as your nervous system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, digestive system, and more. It’s important to have an understanding of your breath to maintain homeostasis throughout the rest of your body and your life. Breathwork is used in a plethora of therapeutic ways from healing traumas to correcting sleep, relieving anxiety, to even boosting immunity.
Ashley Neese, internationally renowned breathwork practitioner, draws from this deep well of resources to guide people back into their bodies where they learn beyond the cognitive mind how to cultivate resilience, develop relational intelligence and trust the wisdom held within. Her passion lies in the belief that our deepest and most profound healing occurs when we learn to listen to the unique language of our bodies.
We got to sit down with Ashley to discuss how to gain control of our breath and thus control our emotions. We also discuss Ashley’s book “How to Breath” along with some helpful practices in calming the breath.

“The sun is the most life giving source on the planet”
“We are meant to be solar panels of the sun also we absorb energy of the sun and its life-giving to our bodies.”
“Before antibiotic drugs were discovered in the 1930s, the medical community all over the world used the healing power of the sun to cure patients of all sorts of diseases.”
Rose Uncharted, a well known “citizen researcher”, challenges views specifically when it comes to the sun and its counterpart, sunscreen. She also discusses heliotherapy, an ancient practice using the power of sunlight to heal diseases from tuberculosis, cancers, to even skin conditions.
