THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT EMILY SKYE   "I was depressed, insecure, suicidal & hated myself and my life. I actually tried to end it at 18yo" -Emily Skye Welcome to episode 31 of The Travelling Wellness Show   Today I'm on the Gold coast of Australia to chat with health and fitness influencer Emily Skye, along with partner Declan Redmond. Oh another fitness influencer I here you ask?? NOT FOR A MINUTE, and as you'll hear shortly, Emily Skye is different; unique in fact, in a way which words are difficult to describe. Sure she's sexy, she's sassy, and she's the usual shot of aspiration for young and older girls alike, but she's much more than that too. She's also scarred, she's brave, she's evolved and she's real; She shows much more than just skin, and her near 11 million FB followers alone are testament to the fact that there's really just something about Emily Skye. "Dec was my saviour & responsible for massive shifts in me. He helped me to be more positive and to change my perspective on life. I also removed a lot of negativity from my life, including people" -Emily   The Emily Skye brand has become an incredible source of inspiration for women from around the world, as Emily and her team set out to help women simply be the best 'them' they can be, via her online nutritional and training programs which quite simply lay down the necessary foundations for lasting change.   Of special interest to me to me however, is the massive change which has just embarked in Em & Dec's personal lives, with the recent addition of beautiful baby Mia. Now any parent out there understands the deliberate shift a child places on business momentum & relationships, and so we are here today to chat with the guys about life, about parenthood and all things Emily Skye.     "  I like to show people that I go through the same things as they do. I'm just like them" -Emily ` Todays show is proudly brought to you by Cell Charge; the world's most potent fulvic super food (check it out at cellcharge.com.au)  & by the Emily Skye Fit App; If you're time or information poor, let me assure you that Emily's new Fit app program is a game changer in fitness usability, function and results. You can train with Emily in real time either in a gym or even from the comfort of your own lounge room, and not only be inspired by Emily, but led and instructed in a way that only Emily can do…. so jump onto your favourite app store and enjoy the first week free as you make the shift towards a better you.   Now sit back, grab a protein shake and get ready for a laugh…   Shannon...

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMAN???   "Our emotional disconnect from ourselves and each other is far more devastating than any food or beverage" -Pete Evans   Welcome to episode 30 of The Travelling Wellness Show   Today I'm in the family kitchen of celebrity chef and controversial 'foodie' Pete Evans, to discuss, well, Life.   This episode is a glare into the real world of the guy you've all seen on television. And one thing is for certain, there is far more to Paleo Pete than just his love of simple living.   "I am happy to be the messenger; the connector for the people out there who might not have as large a platform to deliver the message as some chef who's famous for being a judge on a cooking show" -Pete Evans   Under the suit in fact embodies a very mellow lover of life, of love and of truth. Pete doesn't drive an agenda of what he thinks the world should know, more an ideology of what is, and has been since the beginning of time. Pete's deep respect for truth has led him through doors which once opened, cannot be closed nor denied. Now I know, you ALL have an opinion of Pete. You either love his viewpoints and prescribe to his way of life, or you sit firmly on the other side, and at time rightly so, querying the evidence Pete so blatantly throws under the microscope, questioning everything you know or were taught.   " "The truth can be unsettling for people; it can be unsettling for the energy of a society" -Pete. E   And where do I sit people ask, well firmly with Pete, and moreso with the growing list of researchers and clinicians who realised long ago that 'health' and 'what works' IS easily indentifiable when you work with enough people and realise that current dietary guidelines are an embarrassment to humanity.   Cheers Pete for the liver Terrine and genuine conversation about what it actually means to be human...   If you enjoy this episode guys please share it across you social media platforms and expose more people this the other side of Chef Pete Evans   Enjoy the show   Shannon...

    "Ask me anything; I'm an open book"  -Kerwin Rae     Welcome to episode 29 of the travelling wellness show   Kerwin Rae exploded onto social media a few years back now, with the promise of helping other people grow their existing & often struggling businesses into something special. This promise drew people from all over to examine the material for themselves, and to see if Kerwin could be the leader they were looking for. As the free one day events filled up fast, as did the three and five day business strategy programs, to the point of mass following. What supporters of Kerwin would find however, is that behind the brand lies a very wise and very experienced leader indeed; a man who has battled in the trenches both in life and in business, and is willing to share the whole story in an effort to fast-track life successes for others. From ADD & Dyslexia, to several near death experiences, Kerwin Rae draws upon all life's apparent flaws in order to bring a different experience both for his devoted K2 members, and also just for you. Kerwin acknowledges that a 'business' is simply an extension of oneself, and purposely takes his followers on a deep journey of self-discovery. Now sure there's the expected business marketing strategising  & work rate efficiencies that a person would expect from a high level coaching course, but there's also a heap of unexpected 'hand-holding', counselling and sometimes necessary truths which are ultimately required for your business progression. Funny that!   And so what does a podcast with Kerwin look like? Frankly it's insightful, raw and honest. As you will hear, no subject is off limits and Kerwin is comfortable in his own exposure in an effort to connect with the flaws which we all feel. Kerwin IS a definite leader, rather than a boss. He asks nothing of those around him that he does not demand of himself.     " I get more done in a day than the average person does in a week"   -KR     We discuss   *Kerwin's upbringing and battle with academia from a young age. *Kerwin's apparent explosion onto the coaching world stage & the reality of what this took. *Why there is opportunity behind every negative event, and how personal growth is achieved at these times. *The process of Intermittent Fasting and why Kerwin chooses to follow it daily *Kerwin's diet and exercise regime. *Kerwin's recent marital divorce and what it has taught him. *The daily processes which keep Kerwin puposely directed and focus driven. *Work / Life efficiencies     Kerwin has been a personal friend now for a few years, and I can attest to the level of authenticity which he displays. The guy you see on stage is the very same guy that anybody shares personal time with. His obsession with personal mastery echoes throughout the brand which he drives, and is the reason why his famed K2 Elite course has grown exponentially in the past few years. The K-Man as he is known, will continue to inspire via his no-bullshit emotive presence, and by tackling the core weaknesses blocking the flow of success in the lives of so many. Kerwin will also continue to lift the lid on the uncomfortable subjects that so many people don't want to face, and will lead those who are fearless enough to follow. Kerwin, you are a man of the people, and an insanely dedicated creature to the cause. Stay inspired and keep inspiring. We all love you Shannon

    "If you make enough time for your health, you'll have enough health for a good time"  -Frank Caruso     Welcome to episode 28 of the travelling wellness show   In the world of corporate businessmen, you will be hard pressed to find another man who lives and breathes the passion of his craft more than Frank Caruso. Above profitability, Frank considers legacy his prime motivator, and by legacy, he mean you and yours. In its own way Frank's story is a bit of a fairy tale, as his passion for health came as a subsequent extension of his own learning while working as a Mazda motor mechanic in the late 1970's. It was to be a book which forever changed the way Frank viewed his own body, and sparked an enormous interest in what this could also mean for others. Not long later Frank washed his hands of grease for the last time, and opened a small health food retail store to further explore his passion for health. This is where the bug was born and Frank went on to grow an international health food empire, now known as Caruso's Natural Health.   Few people are as generous with their time, and fewer business owners stand 100% behind their brand. Frank still occasions retail staff training events that other heads of business avoid, and to this day still calls new retail accounts to thank them for choosing to support the brand which supports so many others; the Caruso brand.     " Behind everything I have achieved in this life lies my wife, Grace. She went without a family home for many years as she supported my passion for the natural health industry"   -Frank C     We discuss   *Frank's early years as a motor mechanic and the book which would forever change his life for the better *Franks career mentors & prime influencers who helped pave the way *The #1 bugbear which caused Frank to randomly examine the shopping trolley's of his customers & ask the questions which needed to be asked *The process of detoxification and Frank's personal fascination with it. *The secrets of Frank's success, and his advice to you . *Frank's recent ketogenic diet discovery, and what this diet could mean for you   The extended Caruso family is very dear to my heart, and that of my family. Within the group, Frank is very much 'leader' & 'big brother', keeping the ship well steered with a strong will, lazer focus & masses of humility. Within the Australian health industry he is respected by most and revered by many. From me Frank, just thank you. No person has influenced my direction, provided unparalleled support or been as generous as you. Hopefully one day you'll let me pick up the restaurant bills! Much love mate, Shannon...

Ben & Travis from the Vitality Trading Co take us through the chain of command which is common in the world of superfoods. From the farm to the shelves in which you purchase these supplements, what is the real cost to humanity?    

WHO SAYS I'M NOT PERFECT???   "I first started obsessing over what i ate, before starting to hide food and eating only in private. It was a scary time in my life"   -Josh Wiggins   In the lead-up to recording this episode, I mentioned to several people that the topic was going to be on Male Anorexia. Unequivocally, the response was one of amazement and generally followed a reply to the effect of "that would be really rare wouldn't it??" And I'll tell you what I told them.... "NO, no it isn't in fact" Male anorexia and MDD (as it's more commonly known), are a bit like prostate cancer is to older men; a secret. Something that exists but isn't commonly known, nor discussed. Today's guest however has lived the nightmare and has promised himself that he will make a difference in the lives of others by sharing the fate he was dealt. The young, skinny kid I first met in the gym many moons ago was already under the heavy influence of body dysmorphia, and struggling in ways people would never know. There is nothing especially different about Josh Wiggins, or his story for that matter. What is different though is his tenacity to fight the good fight, and his brave nature in completely disclosing his own demons in an effort to help any person who currently finds themselves in the throes of a similar state.   On this episode Josh and I discuss   -Early detection and the warning signs of what could be a problem.   -The reality of living with an eating disorder & it's effects on loved ones.   -Muscle Dysmorphic disorder / Bigorexia   -Anorexia   -Calorie observation & IIFYM   -The reality of drug use in young gym-goers   -The veil of delusion within the media & fitness industry & why ultimately the industries themselves are largely to blame.   Josh can be reached on his new IG account @_joshwiggins & is willing and able to support any of you who are currently struggling with similar life issues & requiring an open ear. These things don't just go away or get better on their own guys, so make a choice to live your life abundantly and reach out to those who can help.     Enjoy today's show   Shannon...

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE THE BEST;  JUST A BURNING DESIRE & A NEVER GIVE-UP ATTITUDE   Somewhere around 8 or 9 nine years ago, a young and not very ambitious Lachlan Tame walked through my clinic doors. Referred by legend surf boat sweeper and Avoca Beach Surf club life member Richard Brierty, Lachy as he's known, just wanted to be better. The vision at this point was small, yet Lachy was leaving his mark in local club races and showed promise for the future of his local club which had a strong history in results.   "I had a bit of a bet in 2010 that I would make the London Olympics. It wasn't as easy as I anticipated!" -Lachlan Tame   Spurred on by a bet against a mate, Lachy was true to his word and fast forwarding just a little he finds himself standing on the podium in Rio, 4 years after failing the original bet of London, and with the partner that he literally fell out of the kayak when competing against for the very first time a few years earlier. Ken Wallace became a mentor for Lachy, and paved the road forward for what was to become a life changing moment.     " I learned to do the little things right and to have fun with it all. Not being the best at anything meant I had to find the best ways to get little things done" -Lachy on the kind of athlete he has become.   The story here isn't necessarily of the Bronze medal collected in the 2016 Summer Olympics, yet more to do with the relentless grind and personal conviction that found an average athlete standing on the most important podium an athlete will ever stand on. From the comfort of his lounge room I bring you the Lachlan Tame story. From the beginning. Uncensored, and with the humility you'd expect from the guy next door. Shannon...  

YOU ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM YOUR ENVIRONMENT. YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT...     Welcome to Episode 24 of the Travelling Wellness Show with Shannon Brenton, where today he travels back to Adelaide, South Australia, to talk with environmental illness guru Rick Hopton. Rick is the guy you call when your health questions cannot be answered, and current modalities fail to offer acceptable solutions for a host of chronic symptoms ranging from asthma and sinusitis, right through to headaches and fatigue. In this era of technological advancement that we live in, it's really no surprise that not all modern conveniences are simply positive additions to out lives, as many people find themselves battling symptoms that modern medicine alone cannot explain.

IT'S TIME TO GET DOING! At the basis of any health protocol lies action. This is the part where you come in and begin putting theory in its place.   "To Know but not to do is not to know?"  -Stephen Covey   On this episode of The travelling Wellness Show, Mike and Myself provide the framework from which all great body's are ultimately spawned. There is enough science to keep you interested, enough experience to make things happen and passion for days. I go into a lot more detail around the nutritional requirements that you must implement for results, and the scientific validation for doing so. As promised Mike has been busy in the gym with a friend, to bring you the exercises below which frame up many of the push and pull variations that Mike discusses throughout this 2 part muscle building series. These exercises alone will take you far and work within any periodised training plan. We ultimately advise that you seek the guidance of an experienced trainer in your area, particularly if you are not confident in the execution of correct exercise form. Otherwise build slowly up, beginning with your own personal form review in front of a mirror to make sure you are mimicking the correct techniques before picking up any weight. There are also hundreds of regressive movements for those people not capable of achieving those below without pain or mobility concerns. Another reason to work with a local fitness professional. Podcasts such as this are simply a labour of love which I can only hope you pick up and run with. After 17 years sitting full time in front of dysfunctional and diseased people, let me assure you that prophylaxis is always the best option. Don't wait until it happens to you, and don't let disease dictate the terms of your existence. Shannon...
