40 and Fit Podcast

Today we had a great Zoom chat with Chris Flores, author of "Build Your Legacy: 18 Principles to Help You Create and Maintain a Lasting Legacy". We discuss parenting, things to look out for if you're interested in building a legacy, and everything in between. A great discussion of self awareness and leaving your mark.

We have such a great episode for you guys this week! Our guest has been a few months in the making, but when you have built and run the top flight nutrition qualification course in the world, have staff to look after, and beautiful children to parent, schedules can get a bit dodgy. This week we are beyond excited to have Martin MacDonald on the show. Martin is probably best known for MNU (Mac Nutrition University) which is probably the best nutrition qualification you could ever hope to seek out, but he is also and educator, and a parent. We discuss all things in this episode. How did MNU start, what makes Martin Martin, and anything else that contributes to "life". As always he's entertaining and one of our best shows to date. Buckle up for an informative and entertaining ride. To find Martin on social head over to @martinnutrition and www.martin-macdonald.com .

In this day and age, we're "forced" to carry health insurance. Sometimes we pay a penalty if we don't pay for insurance. Almost seems backwards doesn't it?? Anyhow...even when we do carry our own insurance how good is the care that we're getting for our monthly premium dollars? To help us answer this are 2 healthcare professionals, Dr. Natty Bandasak DPT and Dr. Raphael Castro. They give us some insights as to how they have set up their practice to get the most help to the patient and maybe how we, as patients can start to change the narrative.

Sometimes the realization of a midlife crisis hits like a ton of bricks, good or bad. However, to be able to admit it and also know you're still navigating the waters is a true testament of self awareness. Today we talk with Dr. Mike Hyjek from Energy Chiropractic in Teaneck. He discusses how the last 2 years have been a cocoon for him, closing a business, coming full circle with an old partner, big life changes, and how you can change it all with a shift in perspective. A very open discussion and we were glad to have him.
